My freedom should be in such a place｜Xinjiang

🌈Only by personally arriving and experiencing it can you believe that the scenery here truly exists. Along the way, snow-capped mountains and forests🏔️, lakes and waterfalls💧, grasslands and canyons... the scenery keeps changing, as if you have entered paradise, and it feels like being in the real world of Zelda🎮. Perhaps, our lives should be spent in such beautiful places💕.

💪6 days of trekking, covering a total distance of about 120km. In these 6 days of disconnection from the world, you can truly connect with nature and have a dialogue with yourself, and that feeling is really unparalleled. Later, I told everyone I met that those 6 days were the most unforgettable memories of my life🥰.

🕰️The expected opening time this year is: 6.12—early October.

🌟Finally, I still want to say that the Wusun Ancient Trail is really one of the most beautiful trekking destinations in China👏. But only those who have walked it will understand the bittersweet experience😃. The rushing and icy river, the changing weather, the harsh environment, the physical challenges... If you are not fully prepared, I do not recommend you take this journey. On the Wusun Ancient Trail, do not treat trekking as a pleasure trip, but as a self-challenge, so that the scenery in front of you will be more meaningful💗.
