Global check-in: First stop, check in at Fanjing Mountain

Baihaba Village,

It is known as one of the eight most beautiful towns in China.

It is said that

The cold winter here lasts for seven months, and it is called the "Island in the Sea of ​​Snow".

When the mountain is covered with heavy snow, the snow can reach up to an adult's waist.

The long winter,

The Tuva people sat around the stove, and outside the window was a vast expanse of white world, like a beautiful fairy tale world.

……

Yunqi and his group of people walked around the village in groups of two or three, strolling, chatting and taking photos.

Click, click~

From time to time, you can hear the sound of camera shutters.

occasionally,

You will also see Tuva people walking by with their horses. They wear Mongolian robes, long boots, belts and top hats.

Yunqi and Su Luoyao talked as they walked.

"It would be nice if I could come here to take pictures when the mountain is closed due to heavy snow in the winter." Su Luoyao suddenly had an idea and muttered to herself.

"That's wishful thinking! How can we come since the mountain is blocked by heavy snow?" Yunqi couldn't help laughing when he heard her words.

"If I have good skiing skills, I should be able to slide in." Su Luoyao tilted her head and expressed her own fantastic idea.

"You are like a child. Your ideals are full of hope, but your reality is very skeletal."

In front of Yunqi, Su Luoyao sometimes acts like a child, innocent and naive, which leaves Yunqi speechless.

As soon as Yunqi finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued:

"Speaking of skiing, I've read some information that says the Altay region is the 'origin of human skiing.'"

"The snow season lasts a long time, and with good snow and little wind, it is simply a paradise for ice and snow sports enthusiasts." Su Luoyao nodded.

Yunqi continued to popularize science: "I heard that 1.2-year-old painted rock paintings were discovered in the Dundebrak Cave.

It vividly records the earliest image of human skiing, with people wearing skis, holding ski poles, bending over and kneeling, carrying prey on their backs, and galloping in the wind and snow.

"Can I go and take a look?" Su Luoyao became curious and asked Yunqi for his opinion.

"Not this time, maybe next time."

Yunqi pondered for a moment. There were many teammates on this trip, and they were mainly traveling by car along National Highway 219, so it would not be advisable to deviate at the last minute.

……

The village is not big.

While the two were chatting, they had already reached the end of the village.

Yunqi raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "It's almost time, let's go back, we still have to hurry after dinner."

When we got off the bus, we agreed to have lunch at the restaurant at noon.

The two returned to the restaurant.

Little Lion, Yumeng, Xiaomei, Zhenwang, Laotie, Xifan, Lizhe, Liu Qing and others have arrived.

Everyone gathered together to chat, it was so lively.

"Emperor Ping, Ge Mo hasn't arrived yet?" Yunqi looked around and found that two people were missing.

The little lion replied, "When I came back, it seemed that these two were still strolling by the stream."

Yunqi took out his cell phone, looked for the number, and was about to call Pingdi.

The two of them appeared at the door, talking and laughing.

Everyone is present, order food and eat.

When you arrive at Baihaba Village, eating rice and barbecue are essential.

The local barbecue is on big skewers, the meat is shiny and brown, tender and delicious.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

A few people who were not driving also ordered beer.

After dinner,

The time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Qing went to the counter to pay the bill and compared the bill with Yu Meng.

The group returned to the parking lot.

Following the order of the convoy, we drove towards Habahe County, our second day’s campsite.

Habahe County,

Located at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, it is the northwesternmost edge of Xinjiang, bordering Kazakhstan to the west and Russia to the north, with a border line of more than 300 kilometers long.

It is more than 100 kilometers from Baihaba Village to the county seat, and it is expected to arrive smoothly at 5:30 pm.

This self-driving trip,

Their purpose is to focus on sightseeing and sightseeing, and they try to arrange ample time.

The Xinjiang section of Line 219 has a relatively low altitude. Everyone insists on taking Rhodiola rosea and doing proper exercise to prepare for crossing the high-altitude Tibet section.

The convoy moved slowly, strictly following the speed limit on the highway.

Half past five in the afternoon.

The whole team arrived in Habahe County smoothly.

They parked their cars, checked into their hotels, and agreed to have dinner at 6pm.

Before Yunqi got off the car, he put the "Little Snowball" into the system space.

Many hotels and restaurants do not allow pets.

Yunqi and Su Luoyao checked into the same room. Since everyone knew about their relationship, there was no need to hide from each other.

The two swiped their cards and entered the room.

Ding Ding Ding ~

Yunqi's cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was "Qian Fan". He paused for two seconds and pressed the answer button.

I thought,

What's the matter with her calling at this time?

"Yun, Young Master Yun." Qian Fan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yunqi became suspicious and asked anxiously, "Sister Fan, what happened?"

Qian Fan's voice was a little choked up. He took a breath and said as if he had mustered up a lot of courage: "Mr. Yun, I'm sorry."

Yunqi comforted him, "If you have something to say, just take your time and don't be anxious."

Qian Fan paused for a few seconds on the other end of the phone before saying, "It's 'Little Snowball', it's gone."

"Little Snowball?" Su Luoyao who was standing nearby spoke unintentionally.

Yunqi quickly made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

Qian Fan continued, "I went out for a run yesterday morning, and when I came back it was gone. I looked for it for two days, but it still hadn't come back, so I hurried to call you."

Yunqi felt a little embarrassed. He had not thought it through and had unexpectedly caused trouble for Qianfan.

"Don't worry, 'Little Snowball' is very smart. He will come back when he has had enough fun outside."

Qian Fan said anxiously: "But, but..."

Yunqi comforted him, "It's okay. Even if it doesn't come back, I won't blame you."

"Thank you, thank you!" Qian Fan was very grateful for the boss's magnanimity and thanked him repeatedly.

Yunqi hung up the phone.

He and Su Luoyao smiled at each other.

They washed their faces and walked out of the room to meet up with everyone else.

Walk to the booked hotel.

tonight,

In addition to the familiar Xinjiang flavors such as dried meat, naan pit meat, and pilaf, the group also ordered three special dishes recommended by the waiter:

Dry-braised lamb, handmade diced noodles, and roasted whole lamb.

The waiter carefully explains each dish:

Dry braised lamb,

Not a drop of water is added during the cooking process. The lamb and vegetables are cooked using their own moisture to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients.

Handmade fine noodles,

Press the one-square-centimeter diced noodles one by one and roll them in the same direction to form a hollow cylindrical pasta. Then absorb the soup made from diced potatoes, spinach, carrots and onions. The softness of the potatoes and the chewiness of the noodles give it a rich taste.

Roasted Lamb,

This dish is not only local, but the local sheep is different.

because,

Locals often joke that the sheep in Habahe County walk on the golden road (rich in minerals), drink mineral water (iceberg snow water), and eat Chinese herbal medicine.

Therefore, the roasted lamb is firm and delicious with a unique flavor.

We drove on National Highway 219 and stayed at a campsite on the first day. The food and accommodation conditions were very good.

Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

Two hours later, they went back to their rooms.

Return to the room.

Yunqi still took out his laptop and started typing. After finishing 4,000 words, he took a bath and went to bed with his wife.
