Camp: After 8km from the starting point, there will be a relatively flat riverside camp every two or three kilometers. There are several wooden houses at 30km, but you need to cross the river. If you walk two or three kilometers further, you can see the wooden houses without crossing the river. 4. Supply: There is no supply point throughout the journey. 5. Cross the river: There is no need to cross the river or trace the stream. 6. Collapsed road section: The collapsed road section 3km away from the starting point is the most dangerous, but it will be much better to walk the cross-cutting road section closest to the river surface. There is a distance of less than 10m that needs to be passed by the rock wall. After passing Tianhu, the scenery gradually began to be in northern Xinjiang, which was originally green and yellow. The herders passing by said that Mengketu in Mongolian means "never melting snow". It really deserves its name.
