CHINA-DAY 9-SILK ROAD TOUR-TURPAN TO HAMI--SEP 2014

 

TURPAN TO HAMI

27 Sep 2014





The bus journey was over 9 hours with a distance of 540 km through Gobi Desert with Tianshan in the north and east. Occasionally the bus drove through patches of green area with trees and grass and small streams. 















Greener landscape







Most of the photo was taken from the bus or when the driver took a break. There are no public toilet and nature call was behind shrubs.









Our only itinerary today was visiting the Balikun White Stone Grassland (Bali Kuncaoyuan) which is north of Hami. The colour of autumn foliage was very visible.




                                                                            
















Enroute to Hami, the route was scenic.


















We stayed the night in Hami town, bought some fruit from the market
