Jiangbulak is also called the "source of holy water" according to the Kazakh meaning. In the history of this nation, Jiangbulak has gathered the aura of the Tianshan Mountains and many beautiful legends.
Jiangbulaka Scenic Area consists of eighteen scenic spots, among which the most worthy of your visit are the strange slopes of Tianshan Mountain, ten thousand acres of wheat fields, Hanshule City, wooden plank road, and Black Lake.
Thousands of acres of wheat fields are a unique landscape in Jiangbulake, but you can't see the golden waves of wheat now. You have to wait until the end of August to see such a spectacular scene.
After a comfortable night's sleep, the team members set off at nearly noon the next day. The destination was only 200 kilometers away from Urumqi, more than an hour's drive away.
Therefore, in the morning, we only took pictures of a nearby morning market, and among the guests were only Liu Qingshan, Wang Baoqiang, Liu Hua, and Dao Lang. The three female guests stayed in the hotel to catch up on their sleep.
It was only noon when we arrived at the Jiangbulake Prairie. We headed against the stream and headed deep into the mountains. The snow-capped mountains were getting closer and closer, the spruce forests were getting taller and taller, and the air was getting more and more humid. The "source of holy water" had arrived.
Here, the mountains are nestled against the water, and the water reflects the mountains.
If the entire scenery is compared to a symphony, the vast expanse of wheat fields and the colorful sea of flowers are respectively the soothing Adagio and the active Allegro in the first two movements; the smart sheep are the minuet in the third movement; this The sparkling spring water pushes the wonderful music to a climax.
The convoy went straight to the most worthwhile attraction, "Strange Slope".
After letting the passengers get out of the car, a local driver immediately replaced Fan Shengyang, who was in the lead car. He drove the car down a slope and turned off the engine. The car slowly moved towards
The top of the slope slid away.
"This is the Jiangbulake Strange Slope." The driver said, "The strange slope is more than 290 meters long. It is a major wonder in the scenic area."
I believe that my friends have read about "strange slopes" in many popular science programs. Everyone knows that going uphill is more laborious and going downhill is easier.
But when riding on the strange slope of Jiangbulake, you can go downhill by pedaling hard, but you can go uphill easily without using any force.
Local people have this description about it, "The car won't go downhill, the driver has to refuel, the basketball rolls upward, and the rainwater flows backwards."
There are different opinions on the phenomenon of strange slopes. Some say it is a visual difference, some say it is an underground magnetic field, and some say it is some unexplored magical power of nature.
Various legends and scientific research have continued for many years, but there is still no definite conclusion.
His subsequent explanation was as detailed and professional as a tour guide.
It is said that the discovery of the strange slope was accidental.
In 2003, a car broke down on the way down the mountain, and the driver chose to stop on a section of road that was high in the north and low in the south.
In order to prevent the vehicle from sliding down the hillside, the driver picked up a stone from the roadside and stuffed it under the wheel.
At this time, a bizarre phenomenon happened: the car actually slipped to the top of the slope.
Seeing this scene, the surprised driver immediately jumped into the cab and grabbed the steering wheel. After recovering, he drove the car back to the original position.
However, when he turned off the engine again, the car automatically slid towards the top of the slope like it was possessed just now.
Since then, the strange slope phenomenon has become a hot topic, and more and more people are coming here.
People found that on this slope, in addition to cars, running water or balls would also slide automatically from the bottom of the slope.
Towards the top of the slope.
In 2005, the strange slope was officially named "the longest and most magical strange slope in the world" after being evaluated by Guinness.
For the mysterious strange slope, experts have given a scientific explanation: on the strange slope of more than 290 meters long, the altitude of the "bottom" in people's eyes is 1899 meters, while the altitude of the "top" of the high point is only 1897 meters. .
In other words, the visual situation people see and the actual altitude are just misaligned.
Experts analyze that it is the reference environment around the strange slope that affects everyone's vision.
What is considered the low point is surrounded by a sunken valley, while the terrain is also relatively high on either side of what is considered the high point.
Under the reference of this environment, people's perspective will naturally produce "errors", inverting the bottom and top of the slope.
No matter what, everyone who came here was very interested in this phenomenon, and even the staff temporarily put down their work and gathered around to discuss various things.
Liu Qingshan did not stop this. For more than a month from the first day of the Lunar New Year to now, the entire team cannot be said to have suffered a mental breakdown, at least they were exhausted.
Coupled with the influence of the plateau climate, several people have fallen ill one after another.
If the preparations are not perfect, I am afraid that some people may not be able to keep up with the team and evacuate to the hospital for treatment in advance. A long journey of tens of thousands of kilometers is no joke.
Therefore, at this stop in Xijiang, he did not plan to collect much usable material, nor did he have any plot designs such as performances or condolences. He just wanted everyone to enjoy the joy of traveling.
And the altitude here has dropped
Below 2,000 meters, 1,500 meters is a low altitude, and it is also a height that people are fascinated by, because at this altitude, there is a good ecological environment and climatic conditions.
The actual altitude of Jiangbulake is about 1,700 meters, which is quite close to this magical altitude. Therefore, people who come here will feel extremely relaxed and full of interest in body and mind.
For example, if you leave the strange slope at this time and walk westward along the ridges of thousands of hectares of wheat fields that have not yet begun to be sown, and then bypass the sea of flowers on the opposite side that are still in the growing stage, you will see the endless grassland.
The pastures that have just endured the severe cold are extremely soft and green from a distance. Even the dewdrops hanging on them look green.
The sheep roamed the green grassland, and occasionally one or two were alone, just like the white clouds falling from the sky.
Under the white clouds, the Tianshan Mountains are looming in the distance, and the winding road winds through the wheat fields.
Standing on a high hill, closing your eyes and listening to the rustle of the wind, smelling the fresh fragrance of the grassland, everything feels so peaceful and relaxing.
There are not many tourists at this time, so wherever you look, you can see the figures of the program people. Many girls are already chasing and playing with their friends on the grass. Even Taylor and Jin Xishan can't resist this extremely comfortable feeling. Fascinating.
There are Kazakh yurts dotted on the grassland. Due to prior arrangements, people headed there this time, which is also the campsite tonight.
However, only a few people knew about this arrangement. They thought that the group was just swimming upstream in the opposite direction of the water source.
Check it out.
The people in the escort team were aware of it. They had quietly driven over the vehicle that was parked on the road while no one was paying attention. However, because it was difficult to drive on the still fresh grass, they chose a farther route. Just a detour.
There is a big difference between Kazakh yurts and yurts, but because they look similar on the outside, many tourists mistake yurts for yurts.
The biggest difference between the two is the top of the building, whether the top is round or pointed.
If it has a spherical top shape, it is a yurt, and if it is similar to a pointed cone, it is a Kazakh yurt.
The yurt is smaller than the yurt and has a pointed top. The poles used for construction are curved at one end and are dome-shaped. The elbow is tied to the wall frame of the yurt.
Generally speaking, Kazakh yurts are divided into two types: large and small. The simple small yurt is also called "Korsi". It is easy to build and has a conical shape as a whole.
But in terms of the number of walls, there are four, six, eight or even thirty pieces.
The large yurt house that Liu Qingshan and his party finally arrived at was much more complicated. It consisted of walls, poles, roof rings, yurts and doors.
The upper part of the large yurt is arc-shaped and the lower part is cylindrical. There is a skylight at the top and is covered with movable felt for ventilation.
The most complicated part is the skeleton structure, because these yurts are not needed for nomads, but do not need to be dismantled back and forth, and can be used by tourists like a B&B.
Therefore, the skeleton structure is a mesh fence, with fine mesh, strong and strong, which can withstand strong winds, but is relatively bulky.
This is a yurt close to the water source. You can feel the rich ethnic customs before entering it.
.
When the host and his wife came out, they were already followed by a group of young men and women holding snow-white hadas in their hands.
Of course, these were contacted by the advance troops in advance, but judging from the surprised expressions on those people's faces at this time, it seemed that they did not know that Liu Qingshan's group would be coming.
Moreover, their surprise encounter was probably not staged, but a genuine sense of surprise.
There was even a little girl covering her mouth and screaming, her eyes widened, looking straight at Liu Qingshan, her choked shoulders shrugging.
Liu Qingshan had no time to observe this at the moment, because the couple knew that he was the leader and had already walked up holding the hada in both hands.
Because most people have received training in advance and know the most basic understanding of acceptance.
Liu Qingshan also raised the opponent's hand high to shoulder level, then stretched it forward, bent down to put on the khata for himself, and quickly followed the opponent's example and bent down to give it to the opponent.
In fact, today's way of offering Hada has been simplified a lot. If it were placed a long time ago, this kind of etiquette mostly happened after entering the yurt and taking a seat.
Moreover, the host holds the hada in his hand, bows and raises it above his head, and then respectfully hands it to the guest, and then kneels down and kowtows devoutly.
The guest received the hada and after expressing his gratitude, he had to offer the hada in return with the same respect.
But now those cumbersome etiquette procedures have been simplified.
For example, when locals sent letters before, they also included a small khata in the envelope to express blessings and greetings.
Take a few khatas with you when you go out, in case you meet long-lost relatives or friends on the way.
After entering the temple gate, you must first offer a khata, then pay homage to the Buddha statues, and go to various places.
When visiting the temple, I sit down and leave. When I leave, I put a khata behind the seat where I have been sitting, which means that although I have left, my heart is still here and so on.
