This morning we went to ancient Yar city. Ruins of a city which existed from the 5th to the 13th century. It was duug into the ground, rather than built up.
Today was officially cold.
Another ruined city, the Flaming Mountains (misnomer on both parts) and a small village which produces some of the raisins and sultanas which the region is known for. TheyLes mer
Today was a travel day. Heading out to explore the city tonight
This morning we visited the famous livestock market but I didn't buy a camel today...
Today we explored old Kashgar and had a huge lunch, traditional Uyghur lunch. Getting used to chilli 🌶 but not too much!
And we'll be appearing on local TV apparently.
Yesterday we travelled back to Xi'an to start our trip home. We passed over the largest inland lake in China.
I have lots of photos and stories to share, met some great people and are some great food.
Before leaving Xi'an, did some impulse shopping and checked out the local motorcycle courier spot. Really would like to bring home a scooter pictured.
Robocop is a bit of an 'in joke' which I willLes mer
