Features: "As long as you set off on the journey, you can meet beauty at any time." This is the book's moving slogan. If reading and traveling are about constantly attending feasts one after another, then Xinjiang is an indispensable banquet. When you pick up this book, I imagine you must have a certain "Xinjiang" sentiment deep within. Perhaps you spent your beautiful childhood there; perhaps you enthusiastically traveled across the Tianshan Mountains; perhaps you have family, relatives, friends, classmates, or teachers living there; or perhaps you've never been there, but in your endless thoughts, you can never let go of your longing for the Silk Road and the vast deserts and Gobi. This book has gone through too many changes, from the original draft papers and photographs to being polished and shaped on the computer into this form. Finally, it took the form of a crescent pattern guiding eight chapters, with the Edelweiss silk serving as the cut, striving for diverse changes on every page, with a strong "cumin flavor." Originally, I wanted to include a travel map printed on silk in the book and pair it with a leather pouch, so that when walking along the ancient Silk Road under the dazzling sunlight of the west, tracing ancient ruins, and visiting friends from ethnic minorities, it would truly be a perfect match.
