Travelling time in Xinjiang is indeed long.. one scenery spot has to travel in hours.. next, went visit 恐龙谷..

恐龙谷 - only tree survive





and head to 胡杨林.. for lunch.. due to long dist and bad road condition n construction, we have to mk alt route.. and so sway, kana the barrier of 3.5m, tour bus cant go thru.. have to travel on uneven road just to avoid the stupid barrier.. plus strong wind, has to drive slowly too..

the stupid 3.5m barrier
