2021 Beijing self-driving Xinjiang: Keketuohai

It is really a scenic spot with a song. Although it is so beautiful and has a history, although it has made such a great contribution to the country, if there is no this song, it may not be so much concerned by so many people!

There is no need to dub the video in the scenic area, and the melody of "The Shepherd of Keketuohai" is flying everywhere.

There are two places to visit in Keketuohai, one is the Irtysh Grand Canyon and the other is the No. 3 vein.

We came from Urumqi (530km), and it took half a day on the road, so we need two and a half days to visit here.

Although there is no need for a border permit here, it is also a border area, and flying drones is not allowed, so be careful of breaking the law!

7:40 depart from Urumqi

From Urumqi to Keketuohai is basically one road, with few cars and good road conditions, so you don’t need to pay attention to the route.

9:40 came to Wucaiwan service area

This is the first service area on this route, where tourists take a rest.

It's still off-season, so there are so many people!

12:15 Pass the Fuyun County Checkpoint

After entering the back section of Fuyun, we slowly started to enter the mountain road, and the weather began to turn cloudy.

After circling the mountain road for a long time, it entered an open land, which is Keketuohai.

Cattle, sheep, and horses are everywhere. If the grass hadn't turned yellow, I would have thought it was Jiangnan.

Come to the scenic spot and see the small river and colorful trees. Facing the sudden change of scenery, I couldn't help but stop to take pictures.

At 14:53, we arrived at the Visitor Center of Irtysh Grand Canyon Scenic Area, and it took about 7 hours on the road.

    When I came to the scenic spot, the sky was still gloomy, and it seemed that it would rain.

Tickets for the scenic spot are 90 yuan/person (retired soldiers are exempt), and the shuttle bus is 26 yuan/person. The ticket office is in the house with the curved roof in the distance.

Take the shuttle bus to enter the scenic spot (the whole scenic spot is very clean).

After getting off the shuttle bus, check in first. In fact, there are several such check-in steles, but there are many people.

I feel that the scenery is good, but unfortunately there is no blue sky and white clouds!

Now that you're here, move on.

In the middle of the day, the sky turned sunny!

Immediately, the scenery changed drastically!

The scenery is beautiful, and people's mood has become much more comfortable.

There is also a waterfall a few kilometers ahead. I wanted to go to the waterfall to see it, but unfortunately the staff got off work at that point.

19:52 Leave the scenic spot

Leave a picture when you leave the scenic spot.

20:07 Arrive at the hotel

We live near the scenic spot (not in Fuyun County), the conditions may be a little rough, but it is much better than expected.

Depart from the hotel at 9:08 and arrive at the No. 3 mine vein scenic spot in a few minutes

The No. 3 vein has two points of view, one is the mine cave and the other is the mine pit.

 The ticket for the mine is 80 yuan per person (a short shuttle bus is required), and the mine is open-air, so you don't need to buy a ticket.

Take the ferry from here to the mine

Below is the ticket office to the ferry station.

Take the ferry to the entrance of the mine

It is said that there are 6 veins in this area, and the No. 3 vein was developed for visiting.

The mining of this mine has long been stopped, and it is protected for visiting only.

There are really all kinds of treasures in this cave! The shiny things in the picture below are gemstones.

This is the scene where the predecessors worked.

After leaving the mine, take a ferry to the mine. This mine was originally a mountain, but it was dug into a pit.

Here, in order to repay the debts of the former Soviet Union (it is said to be the billions of dollars owed by the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea), how many people have dedicated their youth and lives here silently, using their flesh and blood to fight for the future of New China, they are the heroes!

No matter when, we can't forget them!

10:50 leave the scenic spot to Kanas.

It's all text and pictures, it feels a bit boring, so I tried to make a small piece (limited level).
