This morning we drive to the “fire land” – Turpan(3hrs), famous for its melons and vineyards.
The first attraction for today is the brilliant project - Karez System which is special kind of irrigation system consisting of vertical wells, underground canals, ground canals and waterlogging pond.

Hi Tracy,
The trip was good. A pity that some of the sites (Zhuyu Peak & Diecai Cave) were closed during our short stint in Yun Tai Mountain. Overall experience was pleasant and fun. Great service provided by James.
