When we drive by car on the road, we often encounter a highway called Lianhuo Expressway. After this highway enters Xinjiang, it passes through Hami, Turpan and Urumqi, and it is about 400 kilometers before Horgos at the end of the west, which is Kuitun. Like Horgos, it belongs to Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang, and is located in the valley cut by glaciers in the north of Tianshan Mountain and the north of Junggar Basin. The Huyang River in the north is where the Seventh Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is located. Kuitun is an important traffic node and thoroughfare in Xinjiang. It goes to Altay in the north and passes through Karamay. There is a Kuia Expressway, which starts from Kuitun, and the famous Kuku Highway, which is self-driving, also needs to rest from Kuitun, start from Dushanzi in the south and cross Tianshan Mountain to Kuqa. Kuytun River Grand Canyon Ranch Kuytun first talks about the origin of Kuytun. In history, Wusun, Yueshi, Rouran, Turkic, etc. all grazed here in Long song until they disappeared, and Hoxute Mongolia, the capital of the western regions, stayed in Tianshan Mountain until the Qing Dynasty. The source of Kuytun&;s name is Mongolian, which means frozen land (the highest in January is MINUS 13 degrees during the day and MINUS 20 degrees at night). Kuitun is located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain. Because of the abundant precipitation in the north of Tianshan Mountain and the flowing water in spring, it has always been the most affluent area in Xinjiang, and it is adjacent to Yili Valley. From the blanket covered with purple lavender on that hillside, Kuitun is the snow-capped mountain, flowing water and grassland. Therefore, in addition to being the traffic artery in western Xinjiang, it is also a pasture in history, raising healthy horses and fat sheep, and supplying grain, cotton and fruits, Salix and Populus euphratica. On the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain, the area of Kuitun, the pasture travel place, is not large in Xinjiang, and the horizontal comparison is similar to that of Zhuhai. However, because it is located in Tianshan Mountain and the west of Xinjiang, the tourism resources are very rich. Kuitun River Grand Canyon is a big hole opened by Tianshan Glacier after thousands of years of efforts on the misty land (the same as the reasons for the formation of Anjihai Grand Canyon). Standing on the edge of the canyon, the wind blows fiercely, and every late spring, the Zhongtian Mountain at the bottom melts. On the left is Wusu, a beer city, where there is Anjihai Grand Canyon (you can drive to the edge of the cliff, don&;t be careful, pay attention to the loose soil), where the wind blows the valley and the wilderness is vast; Take Duku Highway to the south (I won&;t go into details here, I talked about Duku Highway before), and then you will pass Dushanzi Grand Canyon (looking at the four fields in winter, such as the desolate planet surface), Bayingou, where there is a river, tents and herdsmen, sheep, grass and trees. The sky is blue and the river is deep and deep. You want to sing here. Cross Duku Highway to Kuqa, the destination there, and then go to Kuqa Grand Canyon, where the canyon is more like the color of a flaming mountain. The wind blows over the cliff like a knife, leaving behind the shocking scenery that travelers see later, especially when they are alone. The wind is like blowing a horn for thousands of years. The Kuitun River Grand Canyon, with a wall of 100 meters, is full of snow in Tianshan Mountain in spring and summer, and it is full of momentum, like the Kuqa Grand Canyon on Mars.There are Han, Mongolian, Kazakstan, Uygur and Hui nationalities in Kuitun, which is full and rich, so all kinds of delicious food, together with the fruits of Tianshan Mountain, can be described as colorful. There are delicious Ili mutton offal (especially fried mutton offal is the best), as well as fried lamb heart, fried lamb waist, dry fried lamb belly and sheep lung, with minced meat for pilaf, or naan, and a few skewers of barbecue. Or a bowl of meatball soup with a meat pie, or a bowl of wide noodles, a large plate of chicken (facing Shawan in the east, where the large plate of chicken comes out), or a plate of noodles, peeling a pomegranate after dinner, stringing grapes, buying a few kilograms of apples as sweet as rock sugar in Kuitun, and then wondering where to play. A good place to barbecue in Gowasu. I have been to Kuitun in winter, and it is as cold as Mobei. If you have never seen snow as big as a mat (thick and big), you can see here that the differences between the four seasons are as clear as love and hate. When spring comes, the river in the green grass flows like broken jade (Kuitun water resources are more in Xinjiang), and everything begins to grow. In autumn, Kuitun apples take a bite like crisp honey. The wind is full of the smell of high blue sky. There are about 200,000 people living here, and there are few people in big cities. The city center is as bright as any big city, and there are many shopping centers, friendly, Seth, Diwang, Sanyo, etc., but the crowds are not dense. There are various ethnic dances in the square dance. Because of the rich specialties here, the prices are not expensive. Compared with life, I feel that the price of ordinary living materials in Kuitun Aijia Supermarket is similar to that in Chengdu&;s large supermarkets (the local famous Tianrun Yogurt 3.5 yuan is better than that in and 9 yuan, and it is a perfect match with the freshly baked bag. If you like the local horse intestines, buy a section and drink some Wusu beer (3.5 yuan/bottle). All vegetables in other cities are available here, here. The house price in Kuitun is also cheap. If you live here, only about 1,000 people rent two rooms and one hall (for example, Wusun Community on the First Avenue used to live here, so some shops are called Wusun), and the new house is about 5,000-6,000, and the second-hand house is about 4,000, so you can buy a good location. If it weren&;t for children, work and parents, it would be a good choice to live in this ancient Kuitun, where there is cold snow in winter, flowers in spring, high clouds in autumn and fragrant fruits in summer. Sit in a carriage, watch the sheep, eat a naan, spit a pomegranate seed and carry a bunch of grapes. Destroy me, shape me, be original.
