:: Xinjiang Day 12 - 喀什 Kashgar--塔什库尔干 Tashkurgan (塔县) Tajik

2007 Aug 02:
Through the 314 National Highway 国道, we took off from Kashgar 喀什 and headed to Tajik 塔县.  During the way we went through various spots such as Karakul Lake 喀勒库力湖 and Mt. Muztagata 慕士塔格峰 (Father of mountains). 
We arrived 塔县 in the afternoon, lunch (more like a dinner as it was late afternoon) and strolled around for the local markets.  We also hanged out with some local Uygur 维吾尔族 for some picture shooting.
We stayed at the 慕士塔格宾馆.

a different side of the view.
how is it? I had a stone thrown into the pond and made those ripples.
on the way again.
so we reached the 喀勒库力湖.
it was a famous lake and the water was very calm. but I did not like the people there. those people kept asking us for entrance fee but they were not officials from any government offices.

before we go 红其拉莆, we have to stay in 塔县 for overnight. so we'd better get something to eat for dinner. however, it took us almost one and a half hour for the food to come. these people here were watching Hong Kong movie.
this is the name of the restaurant.
