Desert Gate Scenic Area

avatar
走遍天下XZ
The Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in China and the second largest mobile desert in the world. This scenic spot on the side of Aral is located on the southernmost side of the Taklamakan Desert. From here to the north, you enter the vast desert. The name "Desert Gate" is appropriate. The scenic spot is very large and the layout is very good. If you have not played the cross-country sand washing and camel riding projects, it is worth a try, but the sun protection must not be sloppy!

Taheyuan Scenic Area

M24***79
Autumn Populus euphratica is simply endless, the summer three rivers meet is even more spectacular, put down the mobile phone to slow down, weekend to Taheyuan to have a slow life is also quite comfortable, the scenic service staff is very enthusiastic, overall the experience is very good, it is worthy of the local leading tourist scenic spot!

Sanwujiulvtunken Memorial Hall

当地向导逍遥遊
From Aksu to Hotan through Alar, this is the starting point of the second desert road, and it is also a city of Tunken. The comprehensive record of Tunken Memorial Hall shows the difficult years of Tunken Reclamation by the 359th Brigade under the leadership of General Wang Zhen. This is a historical monument.

走遍天下XZ
I started to see the itinerary of the travel agency. I thought that the Sanwujiu Tourism Tunken Memorial Hall was a free tasteless attraction. After I came, I really saw the end from the beginning and was deeply moved, especially when I saw the four generations of houses displayed side by side. There were so many female soldiers in the Corps. Hard life and work, can not help but reverence. The tour guide is a child of the Corps, and there is no narrator in the whole process. From the body of yourself and your parents, it will be told, painted and full of truth.

Tarim River Bridge, Alear

The Tarim Bridge is really very good. Come here to stroll around. At least you can see the situation of the entire Tarim River. It is really interesting to imagine a desert like Tarim.

Aral Desert Gate Self-Drive RV Campground

The desert gate 318 RV camp is in very good condition, you can cook and barbecue, there is a separate bathroom and separate shower room and air conditioning in the car, the camp has more than a dozen large and small RVs and wooden houses to choose from, the vast desert is really people in Jingzhong home in the car.

Tunken Cultural Park, located at the intersection of Xingfu Road and Tarim Avenue in Alar City, covers a very large area and has a beautiful scenery. It is very suitable for a walk after tea and dinner.
