Introduction to grassland

Balikun grassland is 1650 meters above sea level, with crystal clear snow mountains, green pine forests, clouds and unpredictable changes. People call this beautiful scenery "Tianshan Songxue". It is said that Songxue in Tianshan Mountain was a piece of silk embroidery from Central Plains given by Tang Yao, Xia Yu and Zhou Mu during their western tour of "the kingdom of Queen Mother of the west" after the founding of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. Later, the queen mother of the West transformed the silk embroidery into "Tianma" pasture. So far, Barkol grassland is still known as "hometown of Tianma".

Barkol is a prairie. But Balikun grassland is not as endless as Inner Mongolia grassland, you can see the horizon of grass and sky. And Barkol is a basin, far sighted, surrounded by the blue sky is the continuous mountain top.

These mountains belong to the East Tianshan Mountains. In particular, Nanshan is particularly tall and majestic. There is snow on the top of the mountain all the year round, and the hillside is evergreen forest belt. When the snow on the top of the mountain melted, some of them flowed down the gully and disappeared before they reached the pass. They all went down to the ground.

Some of them infiltrate into the rock fracture in situ. As the saying goes, "how high is the mountain, how high is the water". Because you can see the mountain spring everywhere. In summer, the alpine meadow with abundant water and grass is a good place for livestock to escape from the heat.

The water in a few large gullies can flow out of the gullies and become irrigation water for farmland on the piedmont alluvial plain.

Below the impact fan plain is the groundwater overflow zone. The Barkol basin is not large, and it is 30 to 40 kilometers from north to south. Therefore, the groundwater overflow zones of the north and South Mountains are concentrated in the middle of the basin, and some places are more than ten kilometers wide. The springs from numerous springs here gather into small rivers and flow into the Barkol lake from east to west.

This ten miles wide area is well vegetated, forming a good meadow. In the ancient poem "song of Shule", it is said that it is written about Balikun. The ancients also called it "mannuchuan".

People simply call it "Grass Lake": grass, grass, lake, water, both grass and water. Caohu is closely related to the survival of Barkol people.
