Issyk-Kul Lake is the second deepest lake in the world, located in Kyrgyzstan, in the north of the Tien Shan Mountains, with an altitude of 668 meters, located in Kyrgyzstan and China's closed intermountain basin on the northern slope of the Tien Shan Mountains, is the basin between the Kunge-Alatau and Jezkoy-Alatau Mountains, the largest lake in the country in terms of lake area and water volume, the western part of the basin is arid, the Issyk-Kul Basin is surrounded by mountains, the north is Kunge Mountain, Kongeyi Mountain, and the south is Telskoy Mountain.

Coming here, Zhou Sen's most intuitive experience is the high mountains and white clouds, and the endless mountain peaks are stacked, this kind of wonder is also rare.

It is surrounded by a cluster of resorts and guesthouses where visitors can relax on the beaches of this lake in the heart of the Asian continent.

Hundreds of underground springs feed into Issyk-Kul Lake, hence the name, "hot lake", because the saltwater lake never freezes.

Standing on the shores of Issyk-Kul Lake, Zhousen offers a breathtaking view of dozens of surrounding peaks, with cascading mountains blocking cold air from the north and hot air from the south, providing visitors with a pleasant and comfortable microclimate to enjoy a moment of relaxation.

"Assanji, do you come here often?" Zhou Sen asked.

"Well, this is a famous attraction, and I often take tourists here to see it!"

"I am also a local herdsman, I can't make much money by grazing, I prefer to bring tourists here to play, tourists like, I look at it and feel very good, our ancestors as herdsmen life is too boring and monotonous, so I take tourists to travel, I also feel very relaxed." ”

The sea breeze, the moist and fresh air, the abundant sunshine, the mineral-rich thermal waters and mud treatments will revive the health and spirit of all visitors, while sports enthusiasts will enjoy windsurfing on Issyk-Kul Lake, which is a huge sapphire set in the mountains, with its turquoise waters and grassy shores, where locals spend their holidays.

The children tirelessly jumped into the water, Zhou Sen happily sat next to him and watched, and also wanted to join in, but unfortunately there were a lot of people here, Zhou Sen still wanted to find a quiet place to rest, Zhou Sen believed that such a large mountain lake would definitely find an excellent place to rest, he and Assanji found a shade and sat down to rest.

The wide lake surface is unobstructed, the mountains on the opposite side of the lake are undulating, forming a natural barrier, the lake surface is sparkling, the waves are constantly lapping on the sand and gravel of the lakeshore, the lake surface reveals a mysterious turquoise blue under the reflection of the sky, and occasionally there are birds flying quickly over the lake, and the water of the lake is turquoise.

Issyk-Kul Lake does not freeze all year round, it is a high mountain saltwater lake, China called it "Atami" in ancient times, there are ancient town ruins hidden seven meters below the lake, and there are a large number of living and production tools used by human beings, which shows that the ancient Silk Road washed and sank to the bottom of the lake, which makes the vast Issyk-Kul Lake more mysterious.

"It's so primitive here, is everything pure and natural?" Zhou Sen asked Assanji.

"Yes, there are a lot of barren mountains, and they are not mined, because the sea is so high, few people are willing to venture to mine here, and many of the peaks and lakes are preserved in their most primitive form, they are the original appearance of the Creator of Nature, with truth and purity, and many tourists like the original appearance here. ”

"If you haven't been to Issyk-Kul Lake, you haven't been to Kyrgyzstan. ”

There are regular boats to and from the lake to carry goods and passengers, and there are road, rail and air transport links with other regions, and the lakeside is known as a health resort, and the spa area centered on the lakeside city of Rebachiye has facilities such as mud baths and mineral baths.

For this statement, Zhou Sen still agrees very much, the mother lake of Kyrgyzstan is not only charming, but more importantly, it has many legends and stories, so when you come to Kyrgyzstan, you must walk into it, understand it, and feel it.

The basin is inhabited mostly by Kyrgyz and Russians, but there are also many Ukrainians, Tatars, Uzbeks and Dungans.

There are two large cities, Przhevalsk and Issyk-Kul, as well as hundreds of villages, most of the population is concentrated in the eastern part of Priscury, and the inhabitants are mainly engaged in agriculture, growing wheat, potatoes and vegetables.

At the mention of Przhevalsk, Assange was also interested, and he and Zhou Sen slowly chatted about the person with the same name as the city.

Among the explorers who once roamed the Silk Road, in addition to Sven Hedin, Stein and Przhevalski also chose to never marry, and the achievements of the three of them can be ranked among the top three in the era of Central Asian exploration.

Zhou Sen asked, "Is this just a coincidence?"

Assanji nodded and shook his head again, Zhou Sen was very curious, and the two continued to talk.

"I've seen their photos, Stein and Sven Hedin, with beautiful faces and tall figures, are gentlemen no matter how you look at them, while Przhevalski is from a military background, although he is slightly fat, but he also looks capable, they can't be said to be handsome and chic, but at least they are also middle-aged, so they should be no problem in appearance. ”

"Sven Hedin's estate was established as a foundation, and a thousand-acre cemetery was built for Aldeck, and the economic conditions should be quite good. ”

"Przewalski should be regarded as a self-sufficient middle class, and Stein, a senior knight of the Indian Empire, a researcher at the French Academy, and an honorary member of the Belgian Academy of Sciences, although he has no money, his money is spent on academics, and the three of them are not bad financially. ”

Przhevalski once said: "I want to go back to the desert, where I will have absolute freedom and the cause I love, where I will be a hundred times happier than if I am married and live in a magnificent palace." ”

Sven Hedin once said, "I'm married to China!"

Stein didn't say much, but he devoted his energy and time to his cause, and after his death he left not even a fixed property except for various writings and letters.

"As explorers, they are quick thinkers, brilliant minds, strong spirits but not paranoid, and they do not discriminate against women, but they all have one thing in common, they are obsessed with their careers, dedicated to the cause they love, and delay them to fall in love and never marry!"

Zhou Sen said: "This sounds like a pity!"

"I can't do that, I understand now, I may not be an explorer like them, I can only be an ordinary man, people have seven emotions and six desires, I also have things that I like, I don't want to be obsessed with career like them, and ignore love and family." ”

Zhou Sen smiled, "Freud said that there are two major joys in life, one is that you can seek and create without getting what you love, and the other is that you can taste and experience what you love. ”

For Sven Hedin and others, the adventure business never ends, and the adventure experience is long, and the adventure business is their lifelong passion, and they have never changed. ”

Assanji nodded, "Maybe!"
