Ha Hien's decision to set foot on this mysterious and majestic land came from a coincidence but was also very special. "Initially, Xinjiang was not on my bucket list this year. But when I accidentally saw posts and videos about Xinjiang on social networking sites at the beginning of this year, I thought this could be a message from the universe for me to explore Xinjiang," he recounted.
And so, the male travel blogger began his journey to one of the most mysterious and majestic lands in China, where nature and people blend together to create a vivid picture that no other place can match.

The film of a magical Xinjiang begins to unfold
One of the things that makes Xinjiang special in He Xian’s eyes is the diversity of its terrain. In just one trip, visitors can experience many lands with different landscapes, from arid deserts, green grasslands to majestic snow-capped mountains and crystal clear lakes. “The landscape in Xinjiang really impressed me. It was like going through 2-3 different countries in the same trip,” Xian said.

Nalati grassland, with its vast grasslands and clear streams flowing through birch trees, is where Ha Hien spent a lot of time enjoying the peace and wildness of nature.

"There are nomadic tents here where local people graze their cattle, so it's very wild, it feels like being immersed in real nature. The scenery here is as beautiful as a dream," he expressed, with the excitement of a traveler who has just touched something he has always wished for.
Not only Nalati, Sailimu Lake - known as "the last tear of the Atlantic" - also left Ha Hien with indescribable emotions. "The scenery there is no different from a fairy tale," he described. The feeling of standing in front of the green lake, next to the wild flowers and grass banks, made the young man feel like he was lost in another world - where time seemed to stop so he could enjoy every moment of silence and peace.

But Xinjiang is not only attracted by the beautiful landscape. What makes the trip truly valuable are the inspiring experiences with the local people. During a sunset evening that lasted until 10 pm, He Xian had the opportunity to enjoy dinner in a nomadic tent of the local people, playing and dancing with them. “The Xinjiang people are very gentle and hospitable, they are extremely friendly and lovely,” he shared.
He still remembers the grocery sellers, or the driver who accompanied him on the long journeys. It was these people who contributed to making Hien's trip more meaningful, with memories that he will forever remember.
Experiencing nomadic life with the locals is also an unforgettable memory.
A different Xinjiang in the eyes of travelers
Xinjiang is unlike any other destination He Xian has ever explored. The feeling of arriving in Xinjiang is like entering another world, where every scene is breathtakingly beautiful, every road is filled with wonders.
However, not everything was perfect. The harsh climate and vastness of Xinjiang created many challenges for He Xian's trip. He recounted that in Xinjiang, the sun does not set until 10 p.m., leading to very long days of activity, which sometimes made him feel exhausted. In addition, traveling hundreds of kilometers every day on long roads was also a big challenge.

Or the lush green of the steppe...
However, these things do not diminish Ha Hien's love and appreciation for Xinjiang. "The natural scenery here is the first thing I love," he affirmed. The diversity of terrain, from deserts, rocky mountains, grasslands, to birch forests and lakes, all have created a colorful and majestic natural picture that he has never seen anywhere else.
A journey to love nature and life more
After this trip, Ha Hien realized that he not only loved nature more but also learned to appreciate life's moments more. "Sitting in the car looking out the window every day, I saw life passing by outside, enough to make me love the roads more," he shared. This trip also helped him have a clearer view of the world, and understand that there are many beautiful places like Xinjiang waiting for him to explore.
Love nature more and appreciate life more after each journey
Ha Hien believes that what makes a Xinjiang trip different is the time and travel experience. Despite the difficulties, the wonderful scenery, colorful experiences of local life, and peaceful moments with nature have made Xinjiang an unmissable destination for travel lovers.
Deep understanding of culture through local cuisine
For those who are planning to go to Xinjiang, Ha Hien advises that you should pay attention to your schedule and health, because the vastness of this land will require you to have enough energy and patience to explore all the wonderful things here.
Xinjiang, with all its wonders, will forever be an inspiring destination, where dreams are not only woven by imagination, but also realized by the tireless footsteps of exploration by travel lovers like Ha Hien.
