Koktokay is a geological wonder worth making a special stop. One day, between Shenzhong Mountain and Irtysh, encounter the unique atmosphere of Koktokay.
Before venturing deep into Keketuohai, the aura of Shenzhong Mountain had already arrived. From afar, seeing that scene, even the fatigue from traveling quietly eased, and he just wanted to stand a little longer.
Irtysh is the most captivating part of Koktokay. Following its veins slowly, every corner hides a different expression, stretching time and space here.
Avoiding the crowds and slipping into Koh Su Li, Koh Tuohai reveals its true self. Old people, alleys, stoves, and laughter all enter the memory before the sights do.
After nightfall, the Ileimu in Koktokay lights up, and the warm yellow glow turns the grandeur of the day into gentleness. Sitting down and doing nothing is also a form of arrival.
When leaving Koktokay, I felt a bit reluctant, but the image of Shenzhong Mountain replayed in my mind. But it was precisely this reluctance that proved the trip was worthwhile—it quietly left a part of itself with you.
