D26 Thirty-mile barracks ~ Yecheng 


From the Thirty-mile barracks to Yecheng, it was all downhill. Residents along the way seldom stop in order to get to Yecheng earlier, except for traffic jams.

I ate at the restaurant of the hotel earlier, haha, this is the standard in Xinjiang

I ran 680km yesterday. I wanted to leave early, but the checkpoint didn’t go to work until 8:30, so I woke up early for nothing. The fuel in the thirty-mile barracks is also 9 yuan per liter, and the mileage is only 200 yuan, and the departure is half a tank (it will be much cheaper when you arrive in Yecheng).

I lived in the last room in the Sanshili barracks yesterday, the conditions were really bad, and I didn’t have a good rest.

Although this hotel is not very good, it is clean, and it is next to the gas station, so I am too lazy to move.

There is a residential area not far in front of the hotel. When washing the car yesterday, I saw breakfast, which was driven by people from Henan. Fried dough sticks, tea eggs, old tofu……

To see Populus euphratica, you have to walk a section of the Gobi Desert, and the navigation indicates that there is a road. What you saw at the scene was a faint trace of a car on the Gobi Desert. Knowing that the Gobi is only tens of kilometers away, and a tank of gas is enough to run several rounds, I decided to make a foray.

From Yecheng, go to the Jinhu Poplar Forest Scenic Spot in Kaqun Township. The Internet says that the Populus euphratica there is also very beautiful. It turned out that this was the case when I arrived at the place. Behind the pine trees in front was the Populus euphratica forest in Yecheng County, and now there is no sign of turning yellow.

Without wasting time and money, just leave and go straight to the ancient city of Kashgar in southern Xinjiang!

Does the Kashgar government know that Gaotai folk houses are also an important business card of ancient Kashgar?

The famous Gaotai houses in the past have been emptied, and they are surrounded by fences and guards. It is impossible to enter, and they can only be photographed from a distance.

It is indeed more expensive to build an ancient city than to rebuild it. New cities can be built anytime and anywhere, but historical relics cannot be built. I hope the history of Jinan Railway Station will not be repeated!
