Going to Xinjiang to play like this - punch "Jinshan". The Altai Mountains in the northern part of Xinjiang, the Mongolian language means Jinshan. Since ancient times, it has been fascinating because of the rich gold treasures. Here, the most representative is the Cocoto Sea. Choose to go to the Cocoto Sea because it is the first national geological park in China with a typical deposit and mine site as the main landscape. The unique Altai Mountains granite landscape and the rich earthquakes have accumulated a rich variety of scientific connotations and aesthetic significance, saying that the value of the city can not be overemphasized, so this time I must go. Experienced the "open eyes" in the beauty of Xinjiang. I thought it would not be amazing by the Cocoto Sea. I didn't expect it to be "washed" by the beauty. Cocoto Lake is simply beautiful, and the blue is like a gem. The more is deep into the Cocoto Sea, the more you can understand the so-called balance between man and nature. The locals told me that in the early 1960s, the rare minerals produced in the Cocoto sea pit, where people asked for minerals from nature, also caused extreme damage to the natural ecology here. Nowadays more and more people are changing their natural cognition. The relationship between man and nature may no longer be unilaterally requested. For the Cocoto Sea, although the mine is still here, there has been no prosperity of the past mining, and what is presented to us is a rich and harmonious natural ecological scene. Take the nature, give back to nature, I think this is probably the balance between man and nature.

There are always some beautiful things in the world worth rushing to! This summer, let's go to Xinjiang! Visit the vast grasslands, this magical place like the Emerald City of Oz, take a rest on the grassland that feels like a green carpet for a while.

I went horse riding in the village, so happy!!! The scenery is really beautiful! The snow is super thick! It snowed in the afternoon❄️ I was picked up from the town to the village in the morning Then ride a horse up the mountain, take photos on the mountain The horse riding is real, the mountain road is quite steep The way down the mountain is super scary, I feel like I'm going to be thrown out at any time But actually as long as you steady yourself, it's no problem After taking the photos, go down the mountain to the farmhouse for a simple lunch Then go horse riding in the small woods, when the horse wades through the small river The scene is super beautiful, it's a pity that I couldn't record it I encountered heavy snow in the woods, it was super super cold Wear a good hat, bring a warm baby, stick it on the sole of the shoe, otherwise the toes are too cold It's best to wear snow shoes or boots in the wild, the snow is thicker, at least to the calf It's best to reserve a whole day for horse riding, it's basically five or six o'clock when I get back to town
