:: Xinjiang Day 17 - 民丰 Minfeng--库尔勒 Korla

2007 Aug 07:
Nine hours drive, we arrived from Minfeng 民丰 to Korla 库尔勒 through the desert highway 沙漠公路 again.  Korla 库尔勒 was very much a modern city so that's why I did not take any pictures of the city.  Funny thing is we had dinner at KFC, yes, it was finally a meal of modern life.  However, comparing to the local food, I do prefer the local food. 
We lodged at the 世纪宾馆.

next station was 库尔勒, and I had no idea what kind of city was it, until I got there.
this was the 宾馆 we stayed at that night.
so it turned out ??勒 was a big city and was very modernized. finally after lots of lamb, we decided to have chicken, KFC.
