On the eighth day of the Xinlaowusun hike, we broke camp from the Bozikerge Valley at 9:30 in the morning and headed towards the Heiying Mountain Pass. The road was mainly flat slopes and downhill slopes, and we passed them several times. The river flows so fast that some of the water reaches the waist. I am most afraid of heavy rains because the Heiying Mountain pass is a trumpet mouth and can easily cause flash floods. It takes about 25 kilometers to hike and takes 8 hours.
The return journey丨The clouds are thousands of miles away from home, looking back at the mountains and rivers in my dream
I was not woken up by the alarm clock in the morning. I turned on my phone and saw that it was only after 6 o'clock, but my watch was It’s past 8 o’clock, and it seems that mobile phones have followed the local customs and changed to Xinjiang time. Have some breakfast, pack your equipment and set off as early as possible.
▎ Xinjiang’s alpine pine cones have thin, dense scales and strong rosin flavor. They are excellent Chinese medicinal materials and are specially used to treat expectorant, cough, asthma, chronic bronchitis, asthma, cough, etc.
▎ At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I saw a lot of chartered car calls on various rocks, and then from time to time I heard the sound of cars whizzing by in the distance. It seemed that I was about to leave the mountain and passed the Heiying Pass. , suddenly the vision broadened, a road was not far away, the mountain was close at hand, but these quiet times behind were already a world away!
▎We are looking for marriage. This guy is a hairy guy. He is open-minded and has a stable career. He travels all over the country. He has tank-like abs. He is pure rich and handsome. He is very enthusiastic towards others. The biggest advantage is that he is very friendly to others. My girlfriend is super invincible. What is so good about her? Aspiring young women or high-quality young women can go and experience it.
Regarding the Wusun river, although it is not as cold as the Wolf Tower, it has also caused a lot of debate among everyone. The theory of crossing the river is dangerous! Safety theory! Don't care! I'm awesome! Everyone insists on their own opinions. In fact, when there is a debate, it is better to go for a hike. No matter how rich the theory is, how feasible and reasonable it is, what about practice? All I can do is hehehehehe... I advise you not to be a keyboard warrior and come here for a walk? Do you dare to leave?
▎ The mountain pass behind you is the exit of the Wusun Ancient Road. It is in the shape of an inverted trumpet. The sky seems clear inside, but dark clouds are rolling in from the northwest. We also encountered a lot of trouble at the checkpoint. The waiting driver was quite unkind. He called to wait for us, then rummaged through our hiking bags in the name of his name, and even ate one of the watermelons he brought us.
▎ The dark clouds gathering in the distance have begun to rain. Sony 7rm2 captured this magical scene.
▎ Heiying Mountain gradually moved away, heading towards the direction of Kuqa. At that time, I heard that Shitai was going to ride the Duku Highway, and thought it would be great if we could meet up at Kuqa. Take your time to appreciate the southern half of the Duku Highway.
▎ The southern end of the Duku Highway is dotted with karst landforms, followed by the Yanshui ditch landform, which is riddled with holes by wind and is like a huge relief art museum, worshiped by towering reddish-brown peaks. The "Mountain Landscape of Potala Palace" surrounding it is steep and majestic.
▎ The Kuqa Hongshan Stone Forest is world-famous. The mountain is red in color. The upright monoclinic rocks formed by the original seafloor rocks due to orogeny form a layered "stone forest", which is particularly spectacular. It is well-proportioned with the nearby mountains of different colors and complements each other, forming a wonder of the Tianshan Mountains.
▎ The Hongshan Stone Forest is a typical wind-eroded Yadan landform. In the past thousands of years, it has been squeezed by the earth's crust countless times and has become a layered "stone forest". At present, it is an important part of the Kuqa Yanyangou to Dalongchi National Geopark, a key national tourism resource protection area, and has become another version comparable to the Yunnan Stone Forest. The Chisha Mountain next to the Stone Forest undoubtedly adds a bit of contrast and elegance to the Hongshan Stone Forest.
▎ The wind-eroded Yadan landform is like an eternal flame deep in the Tianshan Mountains, frozen in time and standing there quietly.
▎ The Hongshan Stone Forest will undergo subtle changes with the light. On a sunny day, the red is covered with purple rhyme; on a cloudy day, it absorbs the green shadow of the forest; in the rain, it appears more colorful than ever before. The background color is red; in the snow at dusk, it reflects the vast blue.
▎ If I have the opportunity, I will take a good look at the scenery here instead of sitting in the car and savoring the sweeping beautiful scenery. The sky was getting dark, and when we arrived in Kuqa to take a shower and change clothes, the seven old and new Wusun people started drinking and talking. The trip of the new and old Wusun ended here, and the tedious and secular life began again. Everyone returned to their respective cities, continued the same days, integrated into life, and disappeared into the crowd.
Safety丨Analysis of the equipment worn by the new and old Wusuns in succession
Everyone is very interested in the equipment for hiking in the new and old Wusuns in July. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the focus of attention, including Liang Liang There are cool hiking umbrellas, spacious and gorgeous villa tents, leisurely rowing boats on Paradise Lake, etc.
Clothing system
? Warm equipment
The weather in Xinjiang is like this. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, especially in the camp. Down jackets and down pants are essential. , and the full range of Black Ice's UD goose down down jackets are made of 100 nylon (10D) fabric, filled with gray goose down, with a down content of 95,800 fill power. After being treated with Tefion water, it has better waterproof and moisture resistance, better warmth retention, and is undoubtedly lightweight choice.
Regarding sleeping bags, this time I brought Black Ice’s new z400 sleeping bag, which ensures warmth and is lightweight in design. The saddle-shaped neck circumference of the head wraps the neck without feeling oppressive, and it is also comfortable. Prevent heat loss, the vertical pile channel design on the chest and back greatly reduces the cost of down, the side walls strengthen side warmth, and the lining structure is an internal three-dimensional partition with non-piercing technology, which effectively provides heat blocking and greatly improves the thermal insulation effect. The three-dimensional foot compartment makes the foot space more reasonable and conforms to ergonomics. The zipper adopts YKK light storage design with luminous effect, making it easier to find the opening and closing in the dark. The double wind-blocking strips on the zipper are even better, blocking air convection and preventing heat loss. .
?River crossing equipment
Although the Wusun river is not as bitingly cold as the Langta glacier, it has a large amount of water and a lot of times. River tracing shoes are indispensable. Although quick-drying pants can be worn across the river, they are particularly uncomfortable when they are wet and stick to the body. K?HL quick-drying shorts solve this problem. They are comfortable to wear and do not stick to the body like quick-drying pants when exposed to water. The friction on the legs is particularly large. The K?HL quick-drying shorts have a streamlined three-dimensional design, which has good ventilation effect and achieves the purpose of quick drying.
Rainproof equipment
I have never been keen on carrying jackets on foot, but during the Dragon Boat Festival when new routes were opened from the north to the south of Taibai in Xinlaozhuwagou, the Pathfinder "Golden Soft Armor" "The limited edition jacket withstood the harsh weather of hail, heavy rain, light rain, and strong winds for a day, and the new and old Wusun brought it with them for this hike. In the dense forest without a hiking umbrella, it withstood the attack of wind and rain and prevented loss. temperature.
Decathlon’s rain pants are particularly useful. They can be put on the outside of quick-drying pants to prevent them from getting wet. They can also be used to keep warm when the sun has not set in the camp.
Sleep system
?Tent
The quality of your sleep directly affects your hiking status tomorrow. The purchase of a tent is undoubtedly a headache for many mountaineers. Among the all-round and all-terrain pyramid first gears, Jingxing's Fengyin Pyramid is made of 20D double-sided silicone oil double-blended tear-resistant nylon design, the outer account is 454 grams, and the waterproof can reach 4000m, Wolf Tower C V, Bogda, New Lao Wusun and others have experienced heavy rain, snow, hail, strong winds and other weather conditions, and are suitable for all terrains, such as grass, gravel, mountains, mud, etc.
If you don’t want to conflict with other tents, the Sierra Designs Tensegrity 2 FL double tent from the United States is a good choice. The design of the small villa is especially good, using a tensegrity structure (tensileamp; integrity ), mostly used in the construction of stadium domes.
The use of this structure makes the most of the characteristics of materials and sections, and uses tension balance to maintain stability. In wind tunnel tests, the ultimate forward and lateral wind resistance can reach 20m/s (about 8-level wind force)
?Moisture-proof pad
Of course, a moisture-proof pad is also essential. Asta Gear Four Seasons Tube Bed Type Cotton Air Cushion, 610g, 30D durable skin-friendly elastic cloth, plus reflective coating Layer, high-quality TPU, plus PAT patented air nozzle, the most important thing is portable packaging, first-class touch, reflective coating to keep warm, especially fast inflating and deflating, lightweight and preferred by players.
Walking system
? Shoes
CRISPI-MONACO GTX shoes are simply a god-like assist for lightweight hiking. They have zero wear and are light to wear. The only The shortcoming is that the mid-to-low boots make it easy for gravel to enter when going downhill, but there are many solutions, such as putting on snow boots, moving knee pads down, etc., which completely solves all worries. Hiking Wolf Tower C V, Winter Wolf Tower , Shennongjia, Aotai, New and Old Wusun Lianwen, Beijing Periphery, etc., there is no pressure with a pair of CRISPI-MONACOGTX shoes.
? Hiking umbrellas
Hiking umbrellas have gradually begun to rise in China, and a lot of brands have emerged, such as gossamer, mytrail, seasummit, Birdiepal, etc. The convenience brought by hiking umbrellas , whether it is sun protection, wind resistance, rain resistance, etc., it brings great convenience. It is stuck on the chest strap of the mountaineering bag to free your hands and enjoy the fun brought by each hike.
?Knee pads
Knee pads are a must-have item. They are usually worn when going down the mountain, but they are also particularly important when going up the mountain. They can prevent your feet from slipping and hitting your knees when you fall. I will not go into details about knee pads one by one.
Other equipment
?Solar charging panel
Fulaiyang smart solar charger is a must-have for my long-distance hiking. It can perfectly solve the charging problem. At the same time, it also solves many worries, especially for photography and video equipment. Fulaiyang’s series of products meet different travel power needs. For related evaluations, you can read my previous articles.
?LWD inflatable boat
The 900g lightweight designed LWD inflatable boat is compact and does not take up space after folding. You can enjoy rafting and boating on Paradise Lake, in rivers and reservoirs Boating is really mediocre, but it's a different feeling if you're on a plateau lake. This is the attitude of big players.
?DJI Spark
The rise of aerial photography has made everyone begin to look at the world from a different perspective and appreciate different scenery. However, drones are large and heavy and are inconvenient to charge. It also takes up space, which undoubtedly brings a lot of troubles to hiking enthusiasts. However, DJI Spark Xiao is light and easy to carry. The key is that it can be charged by USB and is simple and smooth to control. If you want to make your journey different, then buy it. Drone it.
The integration of functions in the workshop design is not a simple combination, but an interpretation of the possible ways of walking life.
