In recent years, more and more people have been coming to Xinjiang for tourism, so many of Xinjiang's tourist attractions have become famous and well-known, such as Kazhakas Lake, Sayritamu Lake, Bayinbulak Grassland, Tumixu Valley, etc. Those who have traveled to Xinjiang are not surprised to find that Xinjiang is actually so beautiful, completely different from what they had imagined. Everyone now knows that some famous attractions in Xinjiang are very beautiful, but what is not known is that in some lesser-known areas of Xinjiang, the scenery is still very beautiful and no different from Sayritamu Lake and Kazhakas Lake.
Today, let's talk to everyone about the Qingshuihai in the Karaqorum Plateau in the Ili region.
Qingshuihai is the westernmost part of the Tian Shan Mountains in Xinjiang, located in the gorge of the Karaqorum Plateau. Because this area hasn't been developed, there are no asphalt roads yet, so there aren't many tourists coming to play here. However, Qingshuihai is also the starting point of the Ancient Road of the Sun, which is an important hub connecting Southern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang. When you come to the Qingshuihai Grassland, if you have seen the movie 'Heidi and Grandpa', you will find that this grassland is exactly the same as the movie, the scenery is so wonderful and familiar.
The Qingshuihai Village is located in the Tekes County of Xinjiang, Karaqdala Township, the villagers are mainly Kazakh, the village is surrounded by mountains, and the houses are built along the river. The villagers' drinking water and household water all come from the Kuledu River. The valley is relatively wide and the river flows continuously. It is said that Qingshuihai is very sexy. It has a beautiful curve, like a woman's hips, a beautiful nest, and it is called the most beautiful curve in the grassland. There are Tian Shan snow peaks on the Qingshuihai Grassland, small streams flow, and mountain springs flow out. It's like a bay in the sea, slowly extending outwards. The grassland is covered with lush green grass, and the crisscrossing gullies are like huge waves rolling across the calm grassland, and herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the grassland, like decorations on the grassland, creating a magnificent picture.
In summer, the Qingshuihai Grassland receives a lot of rain, which is quite humid. The local herdsmen built very distinctive wooden houses according to the local natural environment and natural items. They are durable and the local herdsmen cherish their labor results, so the lifespan of their houses is very long, and some parts have a history of more than 100 years.
The Karaqorum Plateau and Qingshuihai Plateau are only 14 kilometers apart, but they have completely different scenery. It is said that the Karaqorum Plateau is majestic and magnificent, but Qingshuihai Grassland has a warm beauty, gentle and elegant, the grassland and the village are closely connected, and all natural landscapes and human landscapes are so harmonious and beautiful. The gullies and streams on the grassland are like huge waves rolling across the calm grassland, and herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the grassland, like decorations on the grassland, creating a magnificent picture.
