Urumqi & Turpan (吐鲁番)

南山牧场

The low starry night sky at Gold Coast was unforgettable; so is this clear blue sky, with fluffy white clouds...





























Horse-riding...
















































Visit to 哈萨克 home






























Check out the mobile restroom...I'm sure it's specially designed for tourists (as the homes are). The minorities are so in touch with nature! ;)




















On the long journey from Urumqi to Turpan...

World's largest tapping of wind energy for energy production. This place gets wind from Autumn to Summer each year....in other words, every day!















盐湖 (middle portion)




















Finally arrived at Turpan, the fire city (火洲) about 180km away from Urumqi. HOT!

坎儿井...tapping into underground water




















Grapessss







































Where they 晾葡萄干















In the evening...ok, it was at least 9pm at night, mama and I ventured out on our own. At the park nearby...

Happy people; Cheery kids... Young kids usually have shaven heads because of the hot weather.
