The vast Xinjiang is too big to imagine. There is only one Taklimakan desert road. It took 7 hours to drive from Aksu to Hotan. Taklimakan means the big desert below the mountain. It is called The Sea of Death and is the second largest mobile desert in the world. It is also rated as one of the five most beautiful deserts in China. The compound sand hills and sand ridges are like the dragons suffocating on the earth. Hetian, Xinjiang, which is located in the border of the motherland, has been a place of cultural integration since ancient times. The mountains and rivers are magnificent and deserted. The multiculturalism and folk customs here are beautiful and colorful. The site of the Hot Wake Buddha Temple, with a height of about 3 meters, is located in the desert 50 kilometers northwest of Luopu County in Hotan. The site was built in the 2nd to 3rd centuries. Its unique Buddhist temple architecture and Buddha image retain the original Gandhara style. It was an archaeological aid for the early study of Buddhism's introduction to the Western Regions and ancient sculpture art. Now it is the national focus. Cultural relics protection unit

Crossing the Taklamakan, I've come to the ancient city of Jingjue again

This time, I'm taking my dog to cross the Taklamakan Desert. I originally planned to visit the first village in the desert, Dariya Boyi, but unfortunately, the sandstorms have been too severe these days, and the roads are closed. Although my car is four-wheel drive, I only have one car and didn't dare to take the risk. So, I took my dog to the Niya ruins instead, which is the historical location of the ancient city of Jingjue.

Don't go wrong! The wetland park next to the Luobu Village is more attractive

Friends going to Korla must go to 'Luobu Village', but I tell everyone with the experience of buying two tickets, don't rush into Luobu Village, it's more attractive to drive into 'Luobu Naor National Wetland Park' from the side!!! 'Luobu Village' and 'Luobu Naor National Wetland Park' are in the same location. The village takes a shuttle bus from the visitor center to visit, and the wetland park drives in from the side door to visit; the wetland park is larger and more primitive, I personally think it's okay to go directly to the wetland park! 🔸 Luobu Naor National Wetland Park 200r/car The newly opened scenery, the original ecology is to buy tickets in the temporary shed at the entrance of the Luobu Village Visitor Center. It is a 46km ring road for self-driving, including several Populus euphratica landscapes. It is quite primitive. You can play as you like. The pictures are basically taken here. I personally think the experience is far better than Luobu Village 🔸 Luobu Village 49/person The planned scenic area, there are many man-made scenes on the Populus euphratica forest, plus too many tour groups, the experience is not very good, the photos are not very good, the more highlights are the 'Goddess Lake' behind, which is more characteristic than the previous scenic spots~

An oasis in the desert, the Loulan Kurle Village

Great beauty of Xinjiang, the Loulan Kurle Village, is located in Dunhuang Township, Yuli County, Xinjiang. The Loulan people are a branch of the Uighur ethnic group, an ancient tribe unique to Xinjiang. For thousands of years, they have lived in isolation, and now only more than twenty households remain in the Lop Nur area, making a living by fishing, shrouded in mystery. They live by the water, and their way of life is not nomadic but based on fishing and hunting. Longevity is a major characteristic of the Loulan people, the village is situated on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, with the Tarim River flowing through it, nourishing the poplar trees inside and outside the village. Due to the hot climate and rare rainfall in the desert area, almost every Loulan person's house is a simple wooden hut that is ventilated on all sides. The Loulan people 'only fish with small boats for food'. The Kaban boat is the local fishing boat, and the Fairy Lake is the largest lake in the scenic area. The scenic area covers 72 square kilometers, encompassing the Taklamakan Desert, shifting lakes, the Tarim River, primitive poplar forests, and grasslands. It is a distinctive scenic area that combines natural and cultural landscapes.
