Hotan خوتەن‎ (Hetian 和田) - Ürümji ئۈرۈمچی (Wulumuji 乌鲁木齐)









I took a "express bus" from  Hotan to Ürümji trough the Taklaman desert, the biggest desert in China!! When we left Hotan, was very green outside, but suddenly was coming more and more to the desert! Was impressing to see the road, allmost a straigth line trough the desert, 500km!!
To make the road more save, the put some plant beside. They have a hole watersystem, to grow this plant.

So now im back in Ürümji and i will leave tomorrow for Dunhuang, a other city on the silkroad.
