Outbound travel has finally resumed!
After holding back for 3 years, I can finally go abroad~ Take your passport and go, it's best to get a visa on arrival or visa-free, see where is more convenient to go? Visa-free and Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, two places I forgot to write
The passport is ready, the holiday is ready, Thailand needless to say, it is definitely the nearest tourist hit, if you don't want to join in the crowd, you may wish to consider Central Asia? There are both exotic and visa-free travel, and you must understand the local situation in advance before making a decision to avoid affecting the itinerary and mood
Many countries in Central Asia are visa-free~
The exotic Central Asia has finally reopened the veil, and the five Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, 3 countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan) have visa-free for China, of which Kazakhstan has a visa-free exemption for Chinese citizens for 14 days ~ to travel is more than enough
Kazakhstan, bordering Xinjiang Alashankou and Khorgos, it is the world's largest landlocked country with complex terrain, mostly plains and lowlands, although it is located in central Asia, but because of the vast terrain, spanning Asia and Europe
The lingua franca of Kazakhstan is Kazakh, Russian
English penetration is not very high
The signboards on the street are basically understandable
The currency of Kazakhstan is "tenge"
1 RMB = 64 tenge
1 loaf of bread is about 99 tenge, which is less than 2 yuan
1 box of chocolates 423 tenge, about 6 yuan
Kazakhstan has cold winters and hot summersThe best time to travel is in spring (April~June) and autumn (September~October)
If you like skiing, you can choose to come here in November ~ April, Qinmubulak Ski Resort, Qinbulak Alpine Ski Resort are not far from the city, the snow quality is clean, the consumption is not high skiing + rental equipment, it costs about 300 yuan a day Be sure to pay attention to keeping warm, and the temperature reaches minus 20 degrees in winter
From Xinjiang, you can travel to Kazakhstan by train
International trains pass through the desert and over the steppe
Catch a glimpse of the mirror-like lake
Undergo terrain changes, the sun rises and sets
Arrive in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, 42 hours later
Trains 013Х/014ЦТ
It is called K9795/9796 times in China
But from February 1, 2020
Trains are temporarily suspended and hopefully restarted as soon as possible
At present, the train only goes to Khorgos
Because Kazakhstan across Asia and Europe to drive more than 10 hours is a common thing, taking the train has become the best choice: Kazakhstan trains have two types: fast trains (new) and regular trains (old style), fast trains only run between Nur-Sultan and Almaty, conventional trains cover a wide area, conventional trains have 2 types of bunks: kupe (4 people 1 room, bunk beds) and VIP (2 people 1 room) platzkar (bunk without compartments) different from domestic sleepers , Sleeper compartments in Kazakhstan are not sold separately by men and women Kazakhstan train website: bilet.railways.kz I didn't understand anyway, it was written all in Russian, and there was another way to go to the ticket office of the railway station to buy it
In addition to choosing a train, you can also buy a bus ticket at Khorgos Port, 35 yuan / person must bring ID card + passport, the disadvantage of checking is that the waiting time for passing the customs is relatively long, it is now a shift at 10 a.m., after the shift comes down at 12 noon, you will also carpool at the port to Almaty when the customs clearance will ask you if you want to carpool, you can also carpool after going out of the port, carpool is about 1w tenge / person back can also carpool, you can leave a driver phone in advance, there are more than a few people at the Guomen Bus Station, ask you if you want to exchange the exchange rate is very low, You can change the point to carpool
Kazakhstan used to be the capital of Almaty, now the new capital is Astana, Astana has recently been renamed Nur-Sultan Almaty as the former capital, is still the most prosperous city in the whole country, or Kazakhstan and even the entire Central Asian financial center, but also the largest trade center in Central Asia, it is said that the relocation is because of geological instability, the location of the city is too remote and other reasons, of course, there are some historical origins, here do not repeat Almaty is known for its apple production, Also known as Apple City, it is located in the Alatau Mountains in southeastern Kazakhstan in spring and summer, and the mountains are covered with a verdant veil, and the mountains meet the city, like toys spilled on the earth
Astana, also known as Nur-Sultan, is more modern than Almaty, with many peculiar and beautiful architectural complexes, Bayiderek Observation Tower, which is the symbol of the city, this observation tower is inspired by Kazakh mythology
More than a hundred kilometers from Almaty, Lake Kaindy is a mythical landscape, located at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains near the border of Kyrgyzstan, under the clear blue sky, Lake Kaindy shines with brilliant natural light, as clean and clear as a sapphire
Although it is called Brabai National Natural Park, the total area here is 85,000 hectares, right, you read that right, hectares! Forests and lakes intermingle
