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).
The oil in Xinjiang is cheap, the oil price is only 2 yuan per liter, so fill it up quickly!
Do maintenance in the auto parts city, the prices in Xinjiang and Tibet are really the same.
Freshly baked naan + lamb skewers + Wusu beer
The security guard of this small road and his son are at the door of the hotel where I live.
The haggis sold by the Uighur old man is quite delicious
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.
D27 Yecheng~Kashgar
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……
The car was too dirty yesterday, so I will take two more photos when it is clean today.
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!

The middle school is leaving school, the configuration of the school gate and its surroundings
I just arrived in Kashgar today, I haven’t touched the door yet and dare not take pictures directly
This cop has a gun
High tower dwellings are being demolished
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.
This used to be her home…
look at this look…
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!
Continue along the former residence of Gaotai, and you will see the Qiaotou Mosque, next to the Kashgar Grand Bazaar.
Grand Bazaar in Kashgar
A very friendly restaurant next to the Grand Bazaar. The boss saw me coming from afar and invited me to sit in front of him to eat and chat.
very tasty yogurt
The lamb skewers are huge, I can only eat 4 skewers at a time
Kashgar old city wall is a light show
