:: Xinjiang Day 4 - 布尔津--嘉登峪--禾木 Hemu

2007 Jul 25:
Another beautiful day that we followed the 232 Provincial Highway 省道 through 嘉登峪 which was a series of path round the mountains, lots of beautiful scenes such as 蒙古包, heaps of sheeps, groups of mountains.  
After some time driving, we reached the entrance of Hemu 禾木, and it costs quite a lot for the entrance and the shutter bus.  The shuttle bus took 40 minutes to reach the center of Hemu 禾木, which is a small village inside a group of mountains.  So we spent the afternoon there walking around.  
We stayed at the 瑞丰宾馆, a wooden lodge.  We had a small room with five beds.
