yeah.. i must admit i was really surprised as i expected everything to be dry and golden/brown like the Gobi desert. Turns out the place is big enough for a lot of variety.
These were mainly taken on the west side, really close to the border with Kazakhstan, Tian Shan mountains and the big Lakes.

Some of mine from there. Spectacular sunset.  I think this is the same lake you ahve there - from below the shop.  The deers milk cheese?  Xinjiang has everythng in the way of scenery   Hannass Hu - far north west - where I was smuggled over the border into Kazahkstan by a busload of Chinese people. Good adventure.  Weird rock formations  Production area.  |
