Fruit Valley
(tianshannet) Updated: 2006-June-9 10:24:12


 

 Fruit valley, also called Talqi Valley, served as a controlling strategic section of north Silk Road in ancient times. In the end year of the Southern Song Dynasty (the early of the 13th century), Qagatay, the second son of Genghis Khan, led thousands of troops and worked through the Fruit Valley, the controlling section of the ancient road leading to Ili, and also the controlling section of modern Urumqi—Yining Highway. The Fruit Valley, 28 km long, is located at the place about 40 km northeast the seat of Huochen County. In the valley, wild fruits and apricot trees spread all over the valley, and the rare trees and exotic flowers are everywhere. The valley takes on different outlooks in different seasons: in the spring air in the valley is filled with the aroma of wild fruit tree flowers blossoming snow-white, in summer wind blows the waves of forest, cool and comfortable, the autumn witnesses various colors, in the winter only pines reach their green heads out of the sea of snow (the lines written by Hong Jiliang). Lin Zexu described the valley: the secluded and devious ancient road with clean and chilly spring waters on either side, on this 20-li road, every step you take, you’d be so much attracted by the beautiful scene that you can’t help stopping to enjoy it. At Songshutou, the Sayram Lake, the biggest lake in Tianshan Mountains, presents itself before you like a huge sapphire! You cannot help praising the present bestowed by the Nature, the Fruit Valley and the Sayram Lake.
