🌄 Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination
Xinjiang, this vast land, is renowned not only for its magnificent natural scenery but also for its profound historical and cultural heritage. The ancient villages, as living fossils of Xinjiang’s history and culture, carry the living memories and wisdom of various ethnic groups over thousands of years. From the Tuvan villages by the Kanas Lake in northern Xinjiang to the labyrinthine alleys of Kashgar Old City in southern Xinjiang, each place exudes a unique charm.
The Kanas Tuvan Village, hidden deep in the Altay Mountains, features wooden houses scattered across the hillsides, with wisps of smoke curling upwards, creating a picturesque scene alongside distant snow-capped mountains and forests. The Tuvan people have lived here for generations, preserving their unique language, clothing, and traditional customs. Visitors can delve into the village to experience the daily life of the Tuvans and listen to ancient legends and songs.
Kashgar Old City is a quintessential representative of Xinjiang’s ancient city culture. This ancient city, with a history spanning over two thousand years, is famous worldwide for its unique labyrinthine street layout. Strolling through the old city feels like traveling through time, returning to the prosperous era of the ancient Silk Road. Shops selling handicrafts from various ethnic groups, teahouses, and bazaars (markets) are scattered throughout, exuding a strong sense of everyday life. Here, visitors can savor authentic ethnic cuisines, enjoy wonderful folk art performances, and feel the fusion and collision of Xinjiang’s diverse cultures.
The Jiaohe and Gaochang Ancient Cities in Turpan are outstanding representatives of Xinjiang’s ancient urban civilization. Jiaohe Ancient City is the largest, oldest, and best-preserved earthen architecture city in the world, still standing tall after more than two thousand years of wind and rain. Gaochang Ancient City, on the other hand, was one of the political, economic, and cultural centers of the ancient Western Regions, witnessing the rise and fall of multiple dynasties in Xinjiang’s history. Walking among the ruins of the ancient city and touching the ancient city walls, one can almost hear the echoes of history resonating in their ears.
