从2007年春季开始，中国马术网-中国马友联盟已经成功组织了8次新疆喀纳斯的骑马旅游探险活动，有近百人参加。石林地貌，未消融的冰川、原始松林、壮阔的花海，大河峡谷，还有阿勒泰地区最大的夏牧场，原生态的哈萨克牧民，酸奶毡房、超便宜的冬虫夏草和马具，给每一个参加者留下了深刻印象，也得到了旅游卫视、户外探险、时尚旅游等媒体的强力报道。今年我们从6月到7月继续组织了3批团队，玩转地球，把喀纳斯骑马探险进行到底。今年一共有60多位来自海内外的骑马爱好者参与了喀纳斯探险活动。

At the tip of China's westernmost region of Xinjiang lies the Kanas nature reserve, near the point where the national  border meets Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia. Known for its breathtaking vistas of grassland, snow-capped mountains and one of the country's deepest alpine lakes, Kanas has also been called "god's backyard". But saddle up and sit in,  because the best of Kanas is seen on horseback. For four full days, I was part of a group of 23 lucky riders from home and abroad who experienced heavenly Xinjiang. This is how we did it.

I compare her with the famed Nalati Grassland, and she is more beautiful

I compare her with the mysterious and wide Bayanbulak prairie, and she holds her own

Time and time again, I get up close to her

In the glowing warmth of dawn

It is just me, horses, and the wind

Getting there

We first met at the Maitian International Youth Hostel in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The hostel is a well-known pit stop for foreign and local travelers off the beaten track.

It was a fitting starting-off point for our group, made up of residents from nine cities ranging from Beijing to Singapore.

It became clear from the cowboy hats, boots, whips and other riding paraphernalia being loaded onto our minibus that these were true aficionados of horseback riding in the wild.
