Mount balruk

Balluk mountain is located in Yumin County, Tacheng area, Xinjiang, and the whole mountain range is located in China. The western edge of the mountain range is the famous "little Poplar" border guard post, which is also the birthplace of the song "little Poplar". Further west, it is the alahu Lake in Kazakhstan.

geographical environment

When it comes to Xinjiang, whether it's the beautiful scenery of Kanas in the four seasons or the dreamlike customs of Nalati in Ili, it must be familiar to many people. But when it comes to mount balruk, perhaps not many people know. However, the military song Xiao Bai Yang, which has been sung in China for more than 20 years, is well known to almost every Chinese. The xiaobaiyang post, which stands high on the balluk mountain on the border between China and Kazakhstan, is the birthplace of this song. Mount balruk, as its name implies: beautiful, rich. She not only condensed the essence of Tianshan and Al Taishan, but also had picturesque hills and grasslands and concentrated mountains, canyons, forests, meadows, and many magnificent stories that were not known to the world. Balluk mountain is located in the central and southern part of Yumin county. It traverses the balluk mountains from east to west and is the landmark mountain range of Yumin county. If the territory of China is compared to a rooster, it is a beautiful feather with its top bent downward. The whole mountain range of baluke mountain is of middle and high mountain type. Because the mountain rises many times, it forms an obvious vertical zonation. The highest peak is tapkhan, 3252 meters above sea level. The north slope of balluk mountain is a good summer pasture because of its obvious undulating mountains, abundant rainfall and lush growth of shrub and grassland vegetation. The slope of low mountain belt is gentle, wide valley and hilly mountain are undulating, the soil is soft and fertile, the rainfall is rich, and the vegetation is luxuriant. It is a mountain grassland landscape, most of which are beautiful natural pastures. Yumin county has a total of 16 rivers, all originated in the balluk mountain area.

Topography

Balruk mountain is not tall, and its main peak, kongtakamp, is only 3252 meters above sea level, but the mountain is steep and handsome, and the relative altitude is not low. At the foot of the mountain, the taste River and the Burgan river flow to the West from two directions and out of the border. The Burgan Valley is famous for its mystery because it is surrounded by high mountains and inaccessible. It is called "hero Valley" by the local people.

natural resources

Senior tourists who have set foot in balruk once described it as "a world of flowers, a garden of wild plants and a natural museum of wild animals".

Balluk mountain, which means "rich, rich and omnipotent" in Chinese, is located in Yumin county and Tuoli County in Tacheng area. To the north of Alashan pass, it is a relatively independent mountain range. The western end of the mountain range is the boundary between China and Kazakhstan. Geographically, balruk mountain is between Tianshan Mountains and Altay Mountains. It has the characteristics of grassland, snow mountain, pine forest and river valley. It can even be said that it condenses almost all the most beautiful mountain landscapes in Xinjiang. Due to its location on the border and late development, many places have maintained almost complete original style, with Scottish hilly grassland and New Zealand The scenery of mountains, valleys, forests, meadows and lakes also has a unique human landscape. In Xinjiang, only Kanas can compare with it.

Human resources

There are also rich cultural resources here. The famous "xiaobaiyang post" is at the end of the mountain. Bashbai jorak, the Kazakh tribal leader who donated a plane to the country during the war of resistance against US aggression and aid Korea, also sleeps here. Sun Longzhen, a soldier of the Corps who died defending the territory, also lives at the foot of the mountain. At that time, she was fighting against foreigners in order to defend the national territory He died when he died. It is said that according to the newly signed border agreement, China's border has been pushed 10 kilometers westward here. (now, the land she is fighting for is firmly within the territory of China.) Balluk mountain combines the precipitous nobility of Tianshan Mountain with the gentle demeanor of Altay Mountain, and has its own unique style with its mysterious color. Xiaobaiyang sentry post, historical celebrities Bashibai and martyr sun Longzhen have put a light halo on this heroic peak, and the almost primitive natural features and hiking routes hidden in this halo are more than enough to make it beautiful Every hiker will never forget.

Tour route

It is the most classic hiking route to cross balruk mountain from north to south. Starting from the valley resort by taste River in Yumin County, the hike crosses the main watershed of balluk mountain through ayerdaban, arrives at Tuoli ranch in Shannan Tuoli County, and then arrives at Tuoli Alashankou highway along the mountain road.

Most of the hiking routes are connected in the beautiful alpine grassland and valley forest in the north of the mountain. Before approaching ayirdaban, it is necessary to continuously cross the arc "root" part of multiple valleys. According to the analogy of outdoor people in Xinjiang, it is a series of "Pi Ya Zi" road sections.

Along the way, we need to wade many times, crossing almost all the upstream tributaries of tast River, the largest river in balruk mountains. The tributary of the upper reaches of the river is not deep, and it can wade in vain when the flow is slow. The water quality is very clear. If it doesn't rain, all the streams can drink directly. The horse path along the way is not very clear and the vegetation is luxuriant, so we need to judge the route at any time.

It is said that the trace of "Maoren" was found in the upper reaches of taste river a few years ago, but there is no material evidence, which is not reliable. However, in the deep mountain areas, people are rarely seen, and there are indeed wild animals. There are brown bears in the Burgan Valley, which are called Dog bear Valley by the local people. As for wild boars, we can see them with our own eyes. Therefore, on this line, we must go together and never act alone.

The whole journey is about 90 kilometers and takes 4 days. The altitude along the way is between 1700 meters and 2600 meters.

Best Hiking season

From May to October every year, stone is the best season for hiking. In May, grass sprouts, a piece of green, the top of the mountain is covered with white snow, and the valley is covered with snow and ice, forming strips of snow. In June, the mountain flowers are in full bloom. In October, autumn is full of color, and the layers of forest are dyed. May is the season for the growth of Pleurotus ferulae. The Pleurotus ferulae hiding under the grass is extremely delicious. In early October, Pleurotus ferulae grows everywhere on the fallen trunks of poplars in the valley. As for winter, the snow in the mountain area is too thick to pass through.

Adventure strategy

1. Transportation

The distance from Yumin county to baluke mountain is 48 kilometers, asphalt road, good road.

From the small baiyangtasti fork down the big slope, into the taste River Valley, the road became a dirt road, but the car can still walk.

2. Stir fried Bashibai lamb

Stir fried Bashibai lamb is the characteristic of Yumin County, but not every family can do it well. There are three preconditions, one is Bashibai lamb, the other is stir fried technology, and the third is fresh mutton. We have eaten many times in Yumin County, and the best two times happened to be made by the same company. In the depth of taste River Valley, close to Shuanglong Lake, this family has opened an ethnic resort. The owner's surname is Ma, and the GPS point is N45'55.940 E82'42.855. Remember to make sure that the elder sister surnamed Ma operates it by herself. The Honghua Hotel and the Honghua resort in taste River are mainly for county guests, but the fried meat here is not delicious.

3. About xiaobaiyang and company 11

Xiaobaiyangshao belongs to the military zone. If you want to visit it, you need the local propaganda and tourism departments to say hello in advance. The duty of the soldiers is to guard the border. There is no duty of tour guide, service and explanation, so we should be polite to the soldiers. You are visiting, and never have the attitude of tourists.

To xiaobaiyang, you have to pass company 11. Consider staying in company 11.

4. About shopping

There are no local specialties in Yumin county. The more famous ones are Bashibai mutton and ferulic mushroom. The wheat here is good. The Russian style Nang beside Honghua hotel is very delicious, 2 yuan each. In addition, you can consider buying some deer blood wine and deer products. There are several red deer farms here, which are first-hand products.

5. About almond

Starting from company 14 (which has been merged with company 11) under the xiaobaiyang sentry post, you can walk along the road for about 5 times to reach the wild Badan apricot reserve by crossing the Burgan river. Every year in early May, when yebadan apricot blossom, the mountains are full of pink. There is a checkpoint at the intersection of the reserve. In principle, people are not allowed to enter. There are three Kazakh youths on guard. However, if their leaders agree, they can also be allowed to go in and have a look.
