An introduction of Xiate road (recited)
The ancient Xiate road begins from Zhaosu county in Ili, and ends at the Pochengzi, Wensu county in Aksu.
Xiate road is the most dangerous road along the Silk Road, and was closely connecting the northern and southern of Tianshan mountains in the mid 1900s.
With the open up of the railway between northern and southern Xinjiang, the ancient Xiate road now becomes an itinerary for hikers.
Secret glacier lays down the earth.
Snowcapped mountains chases after the falling sun.
The water with a layer of ice on the surface is shimmering .
The blue sky with some cirrus clouds forms high.
The walk in this ancient Xiate road views the splendid history.
Quiet, and magnificent, buried hundreds and thousands of lives.
Princess came across the road with the hope of mighty alliance.
Monk Tang went through it to Qiuci in the chase for Buddha.
Now hikers like it.
Though the trip may cost the life.
Hungry for adventure, itching for danger, desperate for a story to tell.
Beauty means danger.
Danger means challenge.
Challenge can be an opportunity to thrive.
