Chapter 681 Walk all the way and see all the way

The Trident passenger plane was still good at speed. After more than four hours of flight, the passenger plane finally landed steadily at Diwobao Airport.

Compared with the prosperity of Diwobao Airport in later generations, the airport is now very simple and deserted, with few people.

Similarly, the Ukrainian city in this era is far from as big as thirty years later. The Diwobao Airport thirty years later has almost been surrounded by the city. But now, after leaving the airport, besides the mountains and snow-capped mountains in the distance, there are only endless farmland left. It feels like Zhongwu City is still far from the airport.

Because Wu Dawei had already contacted the autonomous region government before coming, after Yang Jing and his team got off the plane, a minibus was already waiting outside the airport. The Autonomous Region Foreign Affairs Office and the Investment and Merchants Bureau also waited outside the gate early. After seeing Yang Jing and his group come out, they excitedly came up to meet them.

Although there are many joint ventures in China these days, most of those joint ventures are in eastern coastal provinces, and foreign capital is rarely brought in pure inland provinces like Xinjiang Province.

When Wu Dawei contacted the autonomous region government, he said that their boss would go to Xinjiang Province for inspection. If it is appropriate, he would invest according to the situation. The minimum investment amount was more than 20 million US dollars, and there would be no cap on it!

This figure is definitely an unimaginable amount of foreign investment for Xinjiang provinces in this era, so the autonomous region government attaches great importance to this inspection from top to bottom. Especially when Wu Dawei said that even if the inspection has no results, their boss will donate no less than 10 million US dollars to improve local transportation, drinking water and other basic livelihood projects.

In fact, with the support of the Evil Dragon Fund, the patriotic overseas Chinese, Pitt Wu has always left a very good impression in the eyes of the senior management of China after entering China in the past few years. At that time, China's foreign exchange reserves were pitifully small, but at that time, Pitt Wu directly donated tens of millions of dollars on behalf of the Evil Dragon Fund to support China. Later, he donated a large amount every year without asking for any return, which made Pitt Wu even register with the leader. Even the leaders of Xinjiang Province have heard of the name Pitt Wu.

Now that Peter Wu’s boss comes to Xinjiang Province in person for inspection, Xinjiang Province must pay more attention from top to bottom.

Yang Jing couldn't stand the warm hospitality of the leaders, but he had to bear it even if he couldn't stand it. If he didn't accept such warm hospitality, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

So, for the whole day, Yang Jing was dealing with these leaders, but today has passed, and tomorrow there are still many leaders waiting to "negotiate" with Yang Jing.

There is no way, although Xinjiang Province is the largest province in the country, in this era, there was really no foreign investment in Xinjiang Province to invest. Now, a super rich foreign boss has finally plunged in. If these leaders in Xinjiang Province do not seize this opportunity, they will be called dereliction of duty.

In desperation, Yang Jing had to directly announce a charitable donation of 20 million US dollars to Xinjiang Province to improve the basic livelihood of Xinjiang Province.

The money now doesn't matter to Yang Jing. Twenty million US dollars is nothing more than two manors, and it really doesn't matter.

Although Yang Jing looks like a foreigner now, he is really a Chinese. Besides, all this money is earned from foreigners, and donating it to poor areas in China is absolutely natural in Yang Jing's opinion.

Sure enough, as soon as the 20 million US dollars were spent, everything immediately became smooth. Especially when the main leaders of the autonomous region heard that Yang Jing was going to visit the southern Xinjiang, they had to arrange a special plane for Yang Jing and his group. Although it was an old-fashioned military transport aircraft, it was still a special plane, not?

However, Yang Jing declined this kindness. In the past and present, Yang Jing has never been to Xinjiang Province. So while he came to Xinjiang Province this time, Yang Jing decided to take a bus from Wucheng City to southern Xinjiang, and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of Xinjiang Province along the way.

In order to meet Yang Jing and his team's needs, the autonomous region government contributed the two best imported Mitsubishi Pajero jeeps specially used to entertain foreign guests. They originally wanted to provide drivers for Yang Jing and the others, but Yang Jing declined again.

Just kidding, the five bodyguards I brought were all driving experts. Besides, Yang Jing also wanted to feel the heroic driving in the desert by himself.

In this way, Yang Jing and his group rested for another night at the autonomous region guesthouse, and then on the morning of the third day after arriving in Ukraine, the moon in the sky had not yet set, and the group of eight people set off. The autonomous region government specially sent a deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office to accompany him throughout the process to solve possible problems.

The car is still good. The imported Mitsubishi cars of this era are far from comparable to those imported cars in later generations. In this era, Japan is still a bit conscientious. In this era, Mitsubishi cars are dominant.

However, although the car is good, the road conditions really make Yang Jing lose his desire to complain.

The most difficult road Yang Jing has ever experienced in his life was naturally the road from Myanmar to Pagan, but this road from Ukraine to Korla is actually not much better than the road from Myanmar.

This highway is a section of the Aba Line. The so-called Aba Line is a highway from Altay to Bayingol League, which is the old National Highway 216.

Although it is a national highway, the national highway in this era is really not as good as the county highway twenty years later. Even some villages have roads that are easier to walk on than the national highway in this era.

Most of the national highways in this era were in two-way and two-lane lanes, especially in such inland provinces, where spacious national highways are almost impossible to see. In fact, in this era, not to mention underdeveloped provinces like Xinjiang Province, even in provinces like Shandong Province, which are famous for highways across the country, most of the national highways are like this.

Yang Jing heard from his father that in the 1980s, even in Tianqu City, there were only two sections of four-lane roads in two-way directions, and most of the roads in the city were two-lane.

It’s just two lanes, so you can at least be flattered. But like the roads in this era are generally not wide, there are not many roads in this era with good road conditions. Especially for such roads in this era with poor road conditions, it is even more madly.

Yang Jing thought that after experiencing that trip to Myanmar, he would not encounter such a difficult road again. As a result, this time he came to Xinjiang Province, this highway directly made him feel the madness of being "caught".

It would be better if it was a light pit. The most important thing is that after walking out of Wucheng, this highway will enter the Tianshan Mountains not far from the city. Especially when passing through the Tianshan No. 1 Glacier, this highway cannot be described as difficult to describe. When walking this mountain road that is dozens of kilometers long, it is simply a cautious one.

However, the scenery of this No. 1 glacier next to the Aba Line Highway is really shocking. This glacier is 2.4 kilometers long, with an average width of 500 meters and an area of ​​1.85 square kilometers. Looking at the highway only a few hundred meters away from the glacier, you can directly see the crystal blue inside the glacier, the crevices on the ice surface, the pyramid-like horn peaks, the zigzag ridges, the arc-shaped glaciers and the noisy glacier river are unique and shocking.

"Did you see this mountain?" Wang Renzhong, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office, who was sitting in the passenger seat, pointed to a snow-capped mountain not far from the front right and said.

Yang Jing, who was driving, looked in the direction Director Wang pointed, and found a peak.

"This mountain is 4,350 meters above sea level and is the highest mountain nearby. At the same time, because this mountain is close to this highway, it is considered to be the iconic snow peak that separates the north and south borders. We locals call it Shengli Dazhang."

Yang Jing nodded.

This snow-capped mountain pass with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters has two completely different scenery on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. It was still bright at the foot of the mountain just now, but when I got here, there was snow everywhere, and even the ground was full of transparent dark ice. The most important thing is that the winding mountain road under this terrain is really dangerous.

After Yang Jing drove through the pass carefully at a speed of less than 30 kilometers per hour, the sky cleared again and the magnificent scenery of Tianshan Mountain was once again visible.

Yang Jing and the others set off at around 6 o'clock in the morning. When they arrived at Barentai Town, they almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon. They ran for nearly eight hours on a distance of about 200 kilometers, which shows how difficult this road is to run.

However, it is less than 150 kilometers away from Barente Town to the destination Korla. If it goes well, you can reach Korla in four hours.

At noon, the group had a meal in Barentai Town. This town is located deep in the Tianshan Mountains, the intersection of National Highway 216 and National Highway 218. Both sides are mountains with a height of 1,000 meters. Because in spring, the Ulastai River, formed by the melting water of snow mountains, roared from the valley where the town is located, and finally, when this roaring and unruly river drilled out of the mountains, it would bring abundant water to Korla and Hejing near the pass.

Eventually, the river will continue to rush through the Gobi Desert, then converge into the Kaidu River, and eventually flow into the famous Bosten Lake.

Unfortunately, the route Yang Jing and his friends did not pass through the shore of Bosten Lake, otherwise Yang Jing would have really wanted to visit Bosten Lake. After all, this lake is the largest inland freshwater storing lake in China, and the scenery is really good.

However, this time I didn’t have the chance to visit there. When I returned to my original time and space, I could take the princess here for an unrestrained self-driving tour.

Although it is difficult to walk along the way, the scenery is definitely not built. I walked along the way, even though Yang Jing drove for several hours, he was not bored at all.

Especially in this 1980s when there was no pollution, this place was simply the purest original ecology.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the two cars finally arrived in Korla, but at this point, the sun was still hanging in the west.

Yang Jing and the others will rest here for one night and then continue to move forward the next day. However, it takes two days to travel from Korla to Hotan from more than a thousand kilometers.
