点评:there are 2 levels of panorama for tuzbair salt flat
- upper panorama / western chink of ustyurt plateau
- lower panorama / chalk arch
UPPER PANORAMA
most self drivers usually only visit here to look down at the salt flats . this is the easier route.
LOWER PANORAMA
the drive to the lower panorama is longer, more complicated and more confusing . the vehicle route is also not yet fully depicted on OSM.
it is easier to enter/exit lower panorama is from the west side (meaning, nearer to aktau).
- turn off from the highway at 44.14705,52.94501
- drive 1.5 hour towards chalk arch 44.03977,53.19544
coming from the west turn off, the drive itself isnt difficult. the offroad is hard-packed gravel / salt with really no chance of being stuck. you are also still quite far away from the salt flat section (with water) . any SUV vehicle with ground clearance can make it. 4x4 not necessary when weather conditions are dry.
the difficult part about the drive is you do need to have a very good sense of direction. you likely will be doing a bunch of trial-and-errors as there are so many meandering tracks, before you can find the right one to arrive to the destination (chalk arch). so i suggest allocating at least 3-4 hours as a first-timer to make this drive.
dont try to enter/exit lower panorama from the east side (meaning, nearer to upper panorama) even if possible. from what i understand, this may require you to do a sharp descend and traverse water-logged area on salt flat. you absolutely do not want to be stuck in salt flat.
翻译:图兹拜尔盐沼有两个观景点:
- 上观景点/乌斯秋尔特高原西侧山脊
- 下观景点/白垩拱门
上观景点
大多数自驾游客通常只来这里俯瞰盐沼。这条路线比较容易。
下观景点
前往下观景点的路程更长、更复杂、更难辨认。而且,OSM 地图上尚未完全标明车辆行驶路线。
从西侧(即靠近阿克套)进入/离开下观景点比较容易。
- 从高速公路拐弯处(坐标:44.14705, 52.94501)
- 向白垩拱门方向行驶 1.5 小时(坐标:44.03977, 53.19544)
从西侧拐弯处出发,路程本身并不难。路面是压实的碎石/盐,几乎不会陷车。您目前距离盐滩(有水的地方)还有相当一段距离。任何底盘较高的SUV都能通过。天气干燥时,无需四驱车。
这段路程的难点在于您需要极好的方向感。由于道路蜿蜒曲折,您可能需要反复尝试才能找到通往目的地(白垩拱门)的正确路线。因此,我建议初次体验者至少预留3-4小时的时间。
即使条件允许,也不要尝试从东侧(即靠近上层观景台的那一侧)进入/离开下层观景台。据我了解,这可能需要您陡然下坡并穿越盐滩上的积水区域。您绝对不想被困在盐滩上。
