Soundtrack: 'Only God Forgives' by Cliff Martinez
The city of Turpan is at the edge of the depression to the south of the Bogda Mountains. In the vicinity, you can see and climb big sand dunes without vegetation, and see the Flaming Mountains.
The ruins of two ancient cities, called Gaochang and Jiaohe; a tall minaret, called the Emin Minaret, that was built in 1778; the ancient Karez Water System; and lots of fruit trees, grape fields, and Uighur houses are nearby.

Sandstorms hit Hami City and Turpan Depression in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Thursday.
Strong wind accompanied with sands reduced visibility in Hami to less than 200 meters in the rural areas and even less than 100 meters in some parts of the urban area.
"The visibility is less than 20 meters. We have to turn on the fog lights and flashing lights to ensure safety," said Ma Yunlong, a local resident.
Classes in middle and primary schools were suspended on Thursday afternoon.
Train services were stopped from 12:00 and did not resume until 19:00.
Severe sand and dust storm also hit the Turpan Depression, located in Turpan City.
A video footage shot by a traffic policeman at around 12:00 Thursday showed that gravels and sand were involved in the strong wind, forming a sand wall of nearly 100 meters high, reducing the visibility to less than 20 meters. The instant wind speed exceeded 30 meters per second, according to local observatory.
Windowpanes of most vehicles were broken by the gravels.
Traffic police set up checkpoints to persuade passing drivers of large vehicles and buses not to go forward, and banned all vehicles from entering the strong wind area.

The Karez System, an irrigation system of wells connected by underground channels, is considered as one of the three great ancient projects in China, the other two being the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. There are in the Turpan area nearly one thousand Karez totaling 5,000 kilometers in length.
The structure of the Karez basically consists of wells, underground channels, ground canals and small reservoirs. In spring and summer, a great mount of melting snow and rainfall flow down from the Bogda and Karawuquntag mountains north and west of the Turpan Depression into the valleys and then seep into the Gobi Desert. Taking advantage of the mountain slopes, the working people ingeniously created the Karez to draw the underground water to irrigate the farmland. The water in Karez will not evaporate in large quantities even under the scorching heat and fierce wind, hence ensuring a stable water flow and gravity irrigation.
As far back as the Han Dynasty, the Karez was recorded in Shi Ji (The Historical Records) and then called "Well Canals". Most of the existing Karezes in the Turpan area were built in the Qing Dynasty and in after years. Nowadays, large stretches of fertile land are still irrigated by Karezes. The Wudaolin Karez and the Karez in the Wuxing Town are open to visitors.

SilkRoad 2010 : Flaming Mountains, Xinjiang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Mountains
The Flaming Mountains, lying in the middle of the Turpan Depression and running from east to west, are one of the branch ranges of the Tianshan Mountains and were formed in the organic movements of the Himalayas fifty million years ago. The Flaming Mountains are so hot and so dry that " flying birds even 500 kilometers away dare not to come". Yet, the mountains at the same time act like a giant natural dam of the underground reservoir in the basin.
In millions of years, the natural weathering and the numerous folded belts caused by the crystal movements have formed the undulating lie and the crisscross gullies and ravines of the Flaming Mountains. Under the blazing sun, the red rock glows and hot air curls up like smoke as though it were on fire, hence its name. The mountains are 98 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide. The highest peak is 40 kilometers east of the city of Turpan and 831.7 meters above sea level.
Situated on the north route of the ancient Silk Road, the Flaming Mountains have many cultural relics and often told ancient tales. In recent years, the number of visitors to the mountains has been on the increase and clamoring to go on the Flaming Mountains tour has arisen.

The territory of China lies between latitudes 18° and 54° N, and longitudes 73° and 135° E. China's landscapes vary significantly across its vast width. In the east, along the shores of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are extensive and densely populated alluvial plains, while on the edges of the Inner Mongolian plateau in the north, broad grasslands predominate. Southern China is dominated by hills and low mountain ranges, while the central-east hosts the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Other major rivers include the Xi, Mekong, Brahmaputra and Amur. To the west, major mountain ranges, most notably the Himalayas, and high plateaus feature among the more arid landscapes of the north, such as the Taklamakan and the Gobi Desert. The world's highest point, Mount Everest (8,848m), lies on the Sino-Nepalese border. The country's lowest point, and the world's fourth-lowest, is the dried lake bed of Ayding Lake (−154m) in the Turpan Depression.
A major environmental issue in China is the continued expansion of its deserts, particularly the Gobi Desert, which is currently the world's fifth-largest desert.[127][128] Although barrier tree lines planted since the 1970s have reduced the frequency of sandstorms, prolonged drought and poor agricultural practices have resulted in dust storms plaguing northern China each spring, which then spread to other parts of East Asia, including Korea and Japan. According to China's environmental watchdog, Sepa, China is losing a million acres (4,000 km²) per year to desertification.[129] Water quality, erosion, and pollution control have become important issues in China's relations with other countries. Melting glaciers in the Himalayas could potentially lead to water shortages for hundreds of millions of people.[130]
China's climate is mainly dominated by dry seasons and wet monsoons, which lead to pronounced temperature differences between winter and summer. In the winter, northern winds coming from high-latitude areas are cold and dry; in summer, southern winds from coastal areas at lower latitudes are warm and moist. The climate in China differs from region to region because of the country's highly complex topography. [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#Landscape_and_climate]
However, I had to travel from Zhoushan to Shanghai several times and I found the Chinese landscape and roadside very wonderful, specially the bus journey is very enjoyable than metro train. I liked it I was fully astonished by Chinese natura and countryside.

Persephone my teratoscincus (Teratoscincus roborowskii) is out at night, but as an easily scared gecko that it is, it gets anxous, looks around everything and finally hides in her hole. Teratoscincus or frog eye geckos are burrowing eckos from the asian deserts. This particular species comes from the Turpan depression of north west China. It is a nervous species that scares easily from movements and noises. In this case, I had moved her terrarium to a better lit place to record the video, and as you see she sensed it immediately, as she was looking the new place cautiously. Then, after the movements I made, as well as from the oises of cars outside, she got afraid and eventually squeesed herself in one of her holes under a flat stone, where she started to dig the little soil ti had below.
Ο τερατοσκίγκοςμου η Περσεφόνη (Teratoscincus roborowskii) είναι έξω το βράδυ, αλλά ως φοβιτσιάρικο γκέκο που είναι ανησυχεί, κοιτάζει τα πάντα και τελικά χώνεται στην τρύπα του. Οι τερατοσκίγκοι είναι σκαπτικά γκέκο των ερήμων της Ασίας. Το συγκεκριμένο είδος κατάγεται από το λεκανοπέδιο του Τουρπάν της βορειοδυτικής Κίνας. Είναι νευρικό είδος που φοβάται εύκολα από κινήσεις και θορύβους. Στην προκειμένη περίπτωση, είχα μετακινήσει το τερράριό του σε μέρος πιο φωτεινό για να το βιντεοσκοπήσω,κι όπως βλέπετε το κατάλαβε αμέσως, αφού κοίταζε το νέο χώρο προσεκτικά. Μετά από τις κινήσεις που έκανα, καθώς κι από θορύβους αυτοκινήτων που ακούγονταν από έξω, φοβήθηκε και τελικά χώθηκε σε μία από τις τρύπες του κάτω απόμια πλατιά πέτρα, όπου άρχισε να σκάβειτο λίγο χώμα που είχε από κάτω.

Turpan (Uyghur: تۇرپان, ULY: Turpan; simplified Chinese: 吐鲁番; traditional Chinese: 吐魯番; pinyin: Tǔlǔfān), also known as Turfan or Tulufan, is an oasis county-level city in Turpan Prefecture, in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. Its population was 254,900 at the end of 2003.
Turpan has long been the centre of a fertile oasis (with water provided by karez) and an important trade centre. It was historically located along the Silk Road's northern route, at which time it was adjacent to the kingdoms of Korla and Karashahr to the southwest and the town of Qarakhoja (Gaochang) to the southeast.
The peoples of the Kingdoms of Nearer and Further Jushi 車師 (the Turpan Oasis and the region to the north of the mountains near modern Jimasa), were closely related. It was originally one kingdom called Gushi 故師 (Wade-Giles: Ku-shih) which the Chinese conquered in 107 BCE. It was subdivided into two kingdoms by the Chinese in 60 BCE. During the Han era the city changed hands several times between the Xiongnu and the Han, interspersed with short periods of independence.

The territory of China lies between latitudes 18° and 54° N, and longitudes 73° and 135° E. China's landscapes vary significantly across its vast width. In the east, along the shores of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are extensive and densely populated alluvial plains, while on the edges of the Inner Mongolian plateau in the north, broad grasslands predominate. Southern China is dominated by hills and low mountain ranges, while the central-east hosts the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Other major rivers include the Xi, Mekong, Brahmaputra and Amur. To the west, major mountain ranges, most notably the Himalayas, and high plateaus feature among the more arid landscapes of the north, such as the Taklamakan and the Gobi Desert. The world's highest point, Mount Everest (8,848m), lies on the Sino-Nepalese border. The country's lowest point, and the world's fourth-lowest, is the dried lake bed of Ayding Lake (−154m) in the Turpan Depression. A major environmental issue in China is the continued expansion of its deserts, particularly the Gobi Desert, which is currently the world's fifth-largest desert.[127][128] Although barrier tree lines planted since the 1970s have reduced the frequency of sandstorms, prolonged drought and poor agricultural practices have resulted in dust storms plaguing northern China each spring, which then spread to other parts of East Asia, including Korea and Japan. According to China's environmental watchdog, Sepa, China is losing a million acres (4,000 km²) per year to desertification.[129] Water quality, erosion, and pollution control have become important issues in China's relations with other countries.

The territory of China lies between latitudes 18° and 54° N, and longitudes 73° and 135° E. China's landscapes vary significantly across its vast width. In the east, along the shores of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are extensive and densely populated alluvial plains, while on the edges of the Inner Mongolian plateau in the north, broad grasslands predominate. Southern China is dominated by hills and low mountain ranges, while the central-east hosts the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Other major rivers include the Xi, Mekong, Brahmaputra and Amur. To the west, major mountain ranges, most notably the Himalayas, and high plateaus feature among the more arid landscapes of the north, such as the Taklamakan and the Gobi Desert. The world's highest point, Mount Everest (8,848m), lies on the Sino-Nepalese border. The country's lowest point, and the world's fourth-lowest, is the dried lake bed of Ayding Lake (−154m) in the Turpan Depression. A major environmental issue in China is the continued expansion of its deserts, particularly the Gobi Desert, which is currently the world's fifth-largest desert.[127][128] Although barrier tree lines planted since the 1970s have reduced the frequency of sandstorms, prolonged drought and poor agricultural practices have resulted in dust storms plaguing northern China each spring, which then spread to other parts of East Asia, including Korea and Japan. According to China's environmental watchdog, Sepa, China is losing a million acres (4,000 km²) per year to desertification.[129] Water quality, erosion, and pollution control have become important issues in China's relations with other countries. Melting glaciers in the Himalayas could potentially lead to water shortages for hundreds of millions of people.[130] China's climate is mainly dominated by dry seasons and wet monsoons, which lead to pronounced temperature differences between winter and summer. In the winter, northern winds coming from high-latitude areas are cold and dry; in summer, southern winds from coastal areas at lower latitudes are warm and moist. The climate in China differs from region to region because of the country's highly complex topography. [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#La...] However, I had to travel within Zhoushan city several times and I found the Chinese landscape and roadside very wonderful, specially the bus journey is very enjoyable than metro train. I liked it I was fully astonished by Chinese natur and countryside. -

Persephone my teratoscincus (Teratoscincus roborowskii) is out at night, but as an easily scared gecko that it is, it gets anxous, looks around everything and finally hides in her hole. Teratoscincus or frog eye geckos are burrowing eckos from the asian deserts. This particular species comes from the Turpan depression of north west China. It is a nervous species that scares easily from movements and noises. In this case, I had moved her terrarium to a better lit place to record the video, and as you see she sensed it immediately, as she was looking the new place cautiously. Then, after the movements I made, as well as from the oises of cars outside, she got afraid and eventually squeesed herself in one of her holes under a flat stone, where she started to dig the little soil ti had below. Ο τερατοσκίγκοςμου η Περσεφόνη (Teratoscincus roborowskii) είναι έξω το βράδυ, αλλά ως φοβιτσιάρικο γκέκο που είναι ανησυχεί, κοιτάζει τα πάντα και τελικά χώνεται στην τρύπα του. Οι τερατοσκίγκοι είναι σκαπτικά γκέκο των ερήμων της Ασίας. Το συγκεκριμένο είδος κατάγεται από το λεκανοπέδιο του Τουρπάν της βορειοδυτικής Κίνας. Είναι νευρικό είδος που φοβάται εύκολα από κινήσεις και θορύβους. Στην προκειμένη περίπτωση, είχα μετακινήσει το τερράριό του σε μέρος πιο φωτεινό για να το βιντεοσκοπήσω,κι όπως βλέπετε το κατάλαβε αμέσως, αφού κοίταζε το νέο χώρο προσεκτικά. Μετά από τις κινήσεις που έκανα, καθώς κι από θορύβους αυτοκινήτων που ακούγονταν από έξω, φοβήθηκε και τελικά χώθηκε σε μία από τις τρύπες του κάτω απόμια πλατιά πέτρα, όπου άρχισε να σκάβειτο λίγο χώμα που είχε από κάτω. -

Sandstorms Hit Northwest China Cities
Sandstorms hit Hami City and Turpan Depression in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Thursday. Strong wind accompanied with sands reduced visibility in Hami to less than 200 meters in the rural areas and even less than 100 meters in some parts of the urban area. "The visibility is less than 20 meters. We have to turn on the fog lights and flashing lights to ensure safety," said Ma Yunlong, a local resident. Classes in middle and primary schools were suspended on Thursday afternoon. Train services were stopped from 12:00 and did not resume until 19:00. Severe sand and dust storm also hit the Turpan Depression, located in Turpan City. A video footage shot by a traffic policeman at around 12:00 Thursday showed that gravels and sand were involved in the strong win... -

SilkRoad 2010 : Turpan Karez Well 坎儿井， 吐鲁番 新疆
The Karez System, an irrigation system of wells connected by underground channels, is considered as one of the three great ancient projects in China, the other two being the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. There are in the Turpan area nearly one thousand Karez totaling 5,000 kilometers in length. The structure of the Karez basically consists of wells, underground channels, ground canals and small reservoirs. In spring and summer, a great mount of melting snow and rainfall flow down from the Bogda and Karawuquntag mountains north and west of the Turpan Depression into the valleys and then seep into the Gobi Desert. Taking advantage of the mountain slopes, the working people ingeniously created the Karez to draw the underground water to irrigate the farmland. The water in Karez will not e... -

Severe sand and dust storm also hit the Turpan Depression, located in Turpan City.
A video footage shot by a traffic policeman at around 12:00 Thursday showed that gravels and sand were involved in the strong wind, forming a sand wall of nearly 100 meters high, reducing the visibility to less than 20 meters. The instant wind speed exceeded 30 meters per second, according to local observatory.
Windowpanes of most vehicles were broken by the gravels.
Traffic police set up checkpoints to persuade passing drivers of large vehicles and buses not to go forward, and banned all vehicles from entering the strong wind area.

The Karez System, an irrigation system of wells connected by underground channels, is considered as one of the three great ancient projects in China, the other two being the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. There are in the Turpan area nearly one thousand Karez totaling 5,000 kilometers in length.
The structure of the Karez basically consists of wells, underground channels, ground canals and small reservoirs. In spring and summer, a great mount of melting snow and rainfall flow down from the Bogda and Karawuquntag mountains north and west of the Turpan Depression into the valleys and then seep into the Gobi Desert. Taking advantage of the mountain slopes, the working people ingeniously created the Karez to draw the underground water to irrigate the farmland. The water in Karez will not evaporate in large quantities even under the scorching heat and fierce wind, hence ensuring a stable water flow and gravity irrigation.
As far back as the Han Dynasty, the Karez was recorded in Shi Ji (The Historical Records) and then called "Well Canals". Most of the existing Karezes in the Turpan area were built in the Qing Dynasty and in after years. Nowadays, large stretches of fertile land are still irrigated by Karezes. The Wudaolin Karez and the Karez in the Wuxing Town are open to visitors.

SilkRoad 2010 : Flaming Mountains, Xinjiang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Mountains
The Flaming Mountains, lying in the middle of the Turpan Depression and running from east to west, are one of the branch ranges of the Tianshan Mountains and were formed in the organic movements of the Himalayas fifty million years ago. The Flaming Mountains are so hot and so dry that " flying birds even 500 kilometers away dare not to come". Yet, the mountains at the same time act like a giant natural dam of the underground reservoir in the basin.
In millions of years, the natural weathering and the numerous folded belts caused by the crystal movements have formed the undulating lie and the crisscross gullies and ravines of the Flaming Mountains. Under the blazing sun, the red rock glows and hot air curls up like smoke as though it were on fire, hence its name. The mountains are 98 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide. The highest peak is 40 kilometers east of the city of Turpan and 831.7 meters above sea level.
Situated on the north route of the ancient Silk Road, the Flaming Mountains have many cultural relics and often told ancient tales. In recent years, the number of visitors to the mountains has been on the increase and clamoring to go on the Flaming Mountains tour has arisen.

SilkRoad 2010 : Flaming Mountains, Xinjiang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Mountains
The Flaming Mountains, lying in the middle of the Turpan Depression and running from east to west, are one of the branch ranges of the Tianshan Mountains and were formed in the organic movements of the Himalayas fifty million years ago. The Flaming Mountains are so hot and so dry that " flying birds even 500 kilometers away dare not to come". Yet, the mountains at the same time act like a giant natural dam of the underground reservoir in the basin.
In millions of years, the natural weathering and the numerous folded belts caused by the crystal movements have formed the undulating lie and the crisscross gullies and ravines of the Flaming Mountains. Under the blazing sun, the red rock glows and hot air curls up like smoke as though it were on fire, hence its name. The mountains are 98 kilometers long and 9 kilometers wide. The highest peak is 40 kilometers east of the city of Turpan and 831.7 meters above sea level.

The territory of China lies between latitudes 18° and 54° N, and longitudes 73° and 135° E. China's landscapes vary significantly across its vast width. In the east, along the shores of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, there are extensive and densely populated alluvial plains, while on the edges of the Inner Mongolian plateau in the north, broad grasslands predominate. Southern China is dominated by hills and low mountain ranges, while the central-east hosts the deltas of China's two major rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Other major rivers include the Xi, Mekong, Brahmaputra and Amur. To the west, major mountain ranges, most notably the Himalayas, and high plateaus feature among the more arid landscapes of the north, such as the Taklamakan and the Gobi Desert. The world's highest point, Mount Everest (8,848m), lies on the Sino-Nepalese border. The country's lowest point, and the world's fourth-lowest, is the dried lake bed of Ayding Lake (−154m) in the Turpan Depression.
A major environmental issue in China is the continued expansion of its deserts, particularly the Gobi Desert, which is currently the world's fifth-largest desert.[127][128] Although barrier tree lines planted since the 1970s have reduced the frequency of sandstorms, prolonged drought and poor agricultural practices have resulted in dust storms plaguing northern China each spring, which then spread to other parts of East Asia, including Korea and Japan. According to China's environmental watchdog, Sepa, China is losing a million acres (4,000 km²) per year to desertification.[129] Water quality, erosion, and pollution control have become important issues in China's relations with other countries. Melting glaciers in the Himalayas could potentially lead to water shortages for hundreds of millions of people.[130]
China's climate is mainly dominated by dry seasons and wet monsoons, which lead to pronounced temperature differences between winter and summer. In the winter, northern winds coming from high-latitude areas are cold and dry; in summer, southern winds from coastal areas at lower latitudes are warm and moist. The climate in China differs from region to region because of the country's highly complex topography. [Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#Landscape_and_climate]

Persephone my teratoscincus (Teratoscincus roborowskii) is out at night, but as an easily scared gecko that it is, it gets anxous, looks around everything and finally hides in her hole. Teratoscincus or frog eye geckos are burrowing eckos from the asian deserts. This particular species comes from the Turpan depression of north west China. It is a nervous species that scares easily from movements and noises. In this case, I had moved her terrarium to a better lit place to record the video, and as you see she sensed it immediately, as she was looking the new place cautiously. Then, after the movements I made, as well as from the oises of cars outside, she got afraid and eventually squeesed herself in one of her holes under a flat stone, where she started to dig the little soil ti had below.
Ο τερατοσκίγκοςμου η Περσεφόνη (Teratoscincus roborowskii) είναι έξω το βράδυ, αλλά ως φοβιτσιάρικο γκέκο που είναι ανησυχεί, κοιτάζει τα πάντα και τελικά χώνεται στην τρύπα του. Οι τερατοσκίγκοι είναι σκαπτικά γκέκο των ερήμων της Ασίας. Το συγκεκριμένο είδος κατάγεται από το λεκανοπέδιο του Τουρπάν της βορειοδυτικής Κίνας. Είναι νευρικό είδος που φοβάται εύκολα από κινήσεις και θορύβους. Στην προκειμένη περίπτωση, είχα μετακινήσει το τερράριό του σε μέρος πιο φωτεινό για να το βιντεοσκοπήσω,κι όπως βλέπετε το κατάλαβε αμέσως, αφού κοίταζε το νέο χώρο προσεκτικά. Μετά από τις κινήσεις που έκανα, καθώς κι από θορύβους αυτοκινήτων που ακούγονταν από έξω, φοβήθηκε και τελικά χώθηκε σε μία από τις τρύπες του κάτω απόμια πλατιά πέτρα, όπου άρχισε να σκάβειτο λίγο χώμα που είχε από κάτω.

The city was founded over 2,500 years ago and has been undergoing restoration in recent years. Many of the old buildings in Bukhara were built over 1,000 years ago.

Qolsharif Mosque, Kazan Kremlin - Russia Travel Guide
Take a tour of Qolsharif Mosque in Russia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The Qolsharif Mosque in Russia, though undoubtedly modern, has deep historical ties to the past. The current building, found in Kazan Kremlin, was started in 1996 and inaugurated in 2005. However, the mosque was rebuilt after an ancient mosque of the same name from the 1500s. This mosque was supposedly the biggest in Russia at the time of its construction. Its appearance is uncertain because it was destroyed in 1552 by Ivan the Terrible. The new Qolsharif Mosque attempts to mirror the old, and, in doing so, has created a beautiful building. -
Ancient CIty of Jiaohe
Situated at a willow leaf like loess plateau 13 kilometers (about 8 miles) west of the Turpan in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Ancient Town of Jiaohe is the world's largest, oldest and best preserved earthen city. The Jiaohe Ancient City was built in 200 BC by people of Cheshi State. It reached its peak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Tang Dynasty.

Located two hours southeast of the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi, the city of Turpan offers a beautiful view of the Uyghur culture, one of the reasons it's become such a popular place to visit.
The Uyghur people make up approximately 70% of the population and their history in the region goes back thousands of years.
Turpan used to be a stop along the ancient Silk Road and many of the best places to visit in the city, including the Jiaohe Ruins (交河故城) and Gaochang Ancient City (高昌故城), allow visitors to walk among historical remnants that date back as early as 100 B.C.
In addition to ancient cities, Turpan is also home to the Bezeklik Caves (柏孜克里克), once a treasure trove of Buddhist art, the Karez (坎儿井), a Uyghur irrigation system that is an engineering marvel, the Emin Minaret (苏公塔), the Flaming Mountains (火焰山), Grape Valley (葡萄沟) and much, much more.
But enough with the tourist stuff. In my opinion, what really makes Turpan awesome is the small town atmosphere that lets you experience Uyghur culture outside the confines of a big city.
The market, the street food and especially the night life are probably as memorable, if not more so, than the sites you see during the day.
Turpan is a city you won't forget and one that you won't regret visiting.

Just outside of the city of Turpan is a fascinating union of Islam and China.
The Emin Minaret is a distinctive building, its design unique to Islamic-Chinese architecture.
The minaret was built in 1777, after the Qing Dynasty conquered the largely Muslim region.
The tower's circular, tapered design is simple, but its geometric decorations are very striking.
The construction of the building used local wood and brick, which gives it a uniform appearance.
The Emin Minaret is the tallest in China at 144 feet, making it a popular destination.

The Emin minaret / Le minaret Emin (Turpan - Xinjiang - China)
(EN) The Emin Minaret or Imin Ta stands by the Uyghur Mosque located in Turfan, Xinjiang, China. At 44 meters (144 ft) it is the tallest minaret in China.The Qing Dynasty conquered this largely Muslim region in the 1750s by defeating the Dzungar Mongols with their superior weaponry in a series of battles. The Uyghurs under Emin Khoja joined the Qing for protection against the Dzungars and the Emin minaret is named after Emin Khoja. As conquerors, they ruled the local population with a light hand and were tolerant of the Muslim religion. The minaret was started in 1777 during the reign of the Qing Emperor Qianlong (1735–1796) and was completed only one year later. It was financed by local leaders and built to honor the exploits of a local Turpan general, Emin Khoja, hence the name "Emin". T... -

(EN) The Emin Minaret or Imin Ta stands by the Uyghur Mosque located in Turfan, Xinjiang, China. At 44 meters (144 ft) it is the tallest minaret in China.The Qing Dynasty conquered this largely Muslim region in the 1750s by defeating the Dzungar Mongols with their superior weaponry in a series of battles. The Uyghurs under Emin Khoja joined the Qing for protection against the Dzungars and the Emin minaret is named after Emin Khoja. As conquerors, they ruled the local population with a light hand and were tolerant of the Muslim religion.
The minaret was started in 1777 during the reign of the Qing Emperor Qianlong (1735–1796) and was completed only one year later. It was financed by local leaders and built to honor the exploits of a local Turpan general, Emin Khoja, hence the name "Emin". The Emin Minaret is located along the ancient Silk Route (near the ancient Uyghur capital of Gaochang). Nearby is the site of the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves.[5]
The arid landscape of southern Xinjiang has long been connected to both East Asia and West Asia by historical trade routes such as the Silk Route and the land around these crossroads became the location for most of the Uyghur Islamic structures in Xinjiang. The area has long served as a conduit for cultural exchange between different ethnic and religious groups. The Emin Minaret, like other Uyghur mosques and minarets, reflects this in its combination of traditional Islamic features and local Uyghur building traditions.
