Conquer Xinjiang! Unlock Baicheng's hidden gem - the Wusun Ancient Trail🚶‍♂️ This is truly a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! Trek through canyons, streams, and grasslands so beautiful you'll forget to take photos📸

【Trip Highlights】
📍Wusun Ancient Trail: This thousand-year-old path crossing the Tianshan Mountains features both majestic canyons and pastoral grasslands. The full hike takes about 6-8 hours - start before 8am!

【Practical Tips】
🚘Transport: Charter a car from Baicheng town (1.5hrs to trailhead). Book reliable drivers in advance.

⏰Best season: June-September (most beautiful in July but crowded)
🧳Essentials: Sun-protective clothing, hiking boots, 3L+ water, energy bars

【My Real Experience】
1️⃣Must wear proper hiking boots! Loose rocks make ankle injuries common
2️⃣Bring enough water - no supply points along the way
3️⃣Turn right uphill at the first herdsman's house - the viewpoint there is breathtaking👀
4️⃣Buy fresh milk from local herders🥛 (must boil before drinking)

【Food Recommendations】
After hiking, visit Baicheng Night Market! Try:
