:: Xinjiang Day 8 - 塞里木湖 Sayram Lake --伊犁--那拉提--巴音布鲁克

2007 Jul 29:
Today we took the 218 National Highway 国道 going through Guozigou 果子沟, 芦草沟 and 清水河镇 and changed to 312 National Highway 国道 and arrived 伊犁.  We parked at the 伊犁河大桥 and spent around an hour walking around the place. 
Then we started the journey again going through places such as 敦巴札, 察合台, 那拉提镇 etc through the 217 National Highway 国道.  During the way, we also drove along the 天山山脉 and saw a beautiful sunset and the moon.  It was at 2,400m and the temperature was 5C.
Finally we reached 巴音布鲁克 at night, a very small town with only a few shops and buildings. 
We had our first 汉歺 since we arrived Xinjiang 新疆. 
We stayed at the 西域超市宾馆.
