22nd stop of the Ring Tower Special Train: Bazhou Museum.

Checked into Korla City, and arrived early at the Bazhou Museum located in Korla. Its full name is: Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture Museum. "Bayingolin" is a transliteration of Mongolian language, meaning "rich valley". Mainly visited three floors: First floor of Bazhou Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall. The display has artistic sense, and the exhibits are also very rich. Pottery jars with local characters carved on them (Figure 11); exquisitely crafted bone shuttles for weaving (Figure 12); distinctive local clothing such as lantern pants, which are still fashionable today (Figure 13); I like the unique lighting fixtures inside (pictures 14, 15); There is also a bowl made of a skull (Figure 17), so exquisite that I have rarely seen before. Second floor exhibition of Lan's historical and cultural heritage. Not fully constructed yet, the video in front of the door provides a comprehensive introduction to the Loulan culture. Since we have already visited the Loulan Museum, we don't really care if it's worth watching or not. Three-layer Eastward Return Historical and Cultural Exhibition This exhibition hall is very rich in content, providing a detailed introduction to that period of history. In January 1771, leader Ubashi and his more than 30,000 households, about 170,000 people, raised their flags and headed east, leaving the Volga River basin where they had lived for nearly a century and a half, returning to what they called the "place where the sun rises." "Only half of them made it to Ili." After returning, the majority of the Tu'erhute people live in the areas of Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Qinghai. In 2004, the day when Wobaxi led his troops to reach Bayinbuluke Grassland in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture - June 23rd, was designated as the "Eastward Return Festival". (Picture 3) The back of the lobby screen is densely covered with various superlatives of Bayingolin, take a closer look for a more comprehensive understanding of Bazhou: China's largest province China's largest inland basin. China's largest desert China's longest inland river. China's largest inland freshwater lake. China's largest alpine grassland China's only swan nature reserve. China's earliest established natural reserve for wild hoofed animals in high mountains. China's earliest established Wild Bactrian Camel Nature Reserve. China's largest desert poplar forest park. China's largest Populus euphratica forest conservation area. China's largest oil and gas exploration area. China's largest asbestos producing region. China's largest production area of medicinal leech stones. China's most important reed production area. China's most important licorice producing region. China's largest wild ramie production area. The longest graded highway built in a moving desert in the world. These countless "mosts", what kind of "mosts" will be created in the future?
