Let's go hiking on the Shata Ancient Trail this summer

Attached travel guide||✨Friends, if you go to Xinjiang, you must not miss the Shata scenic area🔥 It's really unbelievably beautiful😍 🌄Stepping into the Shata Ancient Trail is like entering a fairyland. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the vast grassland🌱stretches to the horizon, with the distant snow-capped mountains🏔️ standing tall and majestic... . 🏔️Location: Shata Scenic Area 🎫Ticket: Shuttle bus 80 RMB/person, electric car 50 RMB/person The earliest shuttle bus is at 9:00 AM, and the latest is at 8:00 PM. You can stay in Zhaosu and drive an hour to the entrance of the scenic area, or you can stay near the scenic area, but there are not many accommodation options. The entire Shata Ancient Trail scenic area is very vast, so it is recommended to spend a whole day there . 【How to Play】 We took the shuttle bus into the scenic area and then chose to hike, walking about 7 kilometers. Although the journey is a bit long, the view of the🏔️ snow mountains is always with you, and a leisurely stroll is very pleasant. If you don't want to walk, you can also choose to take the shuttle bus and then transfer to an electric car, and the last part of the journey can be done on horseback, which is also a nice choice . 【Hiking Route】 Scenic area entrance (shuttle bus) - Hot Spring Hotel - Hike to General's Bridge - Hike to Frog Spring - Hike back to General's Bridge - Horseback ride to the Big Lawn For the return trip, you can take an electric car, which I think allows you to appreciate the essence and the most beautiful scenery of Shata . 【Other Tips】 🚩The entire Shata area has a wide view, so the sunlight is intense, be sure to take sun protection measures 🚩It's best to bring some food when hiking, as you might get hungry after a long walk 🚩Pay attention to time management⏰, the scenic area's electric cars🚎 and shuttle buses🚌 have specific schedules, and there might be a lot of people👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 queuing up at the end 🚩If you want to ride a horse🏇, you should book in advance, as it may not be possible to book on the day 🚩The weather in Shata changes quickly🌦️, especially after passing General's Bridge🌁 near the glacier🏔️, it can suddenly get cold, so be sure to bring a jacket and long pants 🚩After passing General's Bridge🌁, there are no supply stations🌭, so prepare enough water and dry food 🚩Some sections of the trail are difficult to walk, be sure to wear comfortable shoes👟, and when hiking🚶‍♀️ remember to do so within your limits - 👉8-day tour route reference: D1: From all over the country to Urumqi D2: Urumqi—S101 National Defense Highway—Dushanzi Grand Canyon—Kuitun D3: Kuitun—Sayram Lake—Huocheng Lavender D4: Qingshui River—Yizhao Highway—Shata Ancient Trail—Zhaosu D5: Zhaosu—Qiongkushitai—Tekes D6: Tekes—Qiaxi Grassland—Nalati D7: Nalati—Sky Grassland—Bayinbuluke D8: Bayinbuluke—Duku Highway—Urumqi
