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. The vertically dug wells are linked together to channel the water which occur during summer rain season, or melt from snow mountains of Tianshan range to desired farmlands on the ground. After the Karez visiting, tranfer to tour anther famous relic - the Jiaohe Ancient City which used to be the capital city of the former Cheshi State. It is renowned as the "perfect ruin of earth building" because it has been well preserved for almost two thousand years. Last activity for today is to visit the Emin Minaret. It is a elegant and innovative Islamic pagodaby built by the duke Emin Hezhuo to express his devotion to the lord Allah. Emin Minaret looks like a awl which is 44 meter high. Nearby, there is an ornate mosque.

Hi Vivien
I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to you and your company
This is the second time I have chosen China discovery services and I’m so happy of both experiences.
Every cent I have payed worth it the trip and the nice experiences I have kept in my heart
Our guide Derrick was so nice and warm with my daughter and I, taking care of any single detail, being so attentive. Speaking a perfect English, always smiling also receiving us with a nice New year gift that we happily kept at home.
After all issues that we had with my daughter's documents and finally we got there and his welcome was the great beginning of our trip
Apart from the fact that Zhangjiajie is a beautiful place that I will recommend to all my friends, I will also recommend to request for Derrick as a tour guide
I have fulfilled the services inquiry that Derrick requested me but I don t know if there is any other place where I can provide my feedback
I can do it in Trip advisor .....may be you prefer to send me a link
Just let me know and I will be more than glad to leave my recommendation not only for China discovery but its tour guides and the selection of hotels
Everything was ok
I have nice memories from this trip and the one done to Guilin
Just to let you know I am planning for Easter to go to Beijing so when you have some time I would appreciate if you can send me any plan 4/5 days would be great, 4 adults this time
Thank you so much
Regards
