Asia Trip - Day 4 (Saturday, August 6, 2011)

Went to the International Grand Bazaar Xinjiang in Urumqi.  
 

Center of the bazaar. Islamic style architecture.
 
 Some of the goods they were selling inside.

 They had a lot of different nuts and dried fruits.

 A look inside the bazaar and the shops.

 They carved faces into these wooden pieces.

 A shot of the Uyghur shop keepers.

Next, we went to "Heavenly Lake" or Tianchi. Wasn't too big of a fan of this place after going to Banff and Jasper Park in Canada. This place was too touristy and they had boat rides on the lake that felt like it was polluting the clean water and ruining the atmosphere of the place.

 I didn't get to see any mountain goats in Canada, but there were plenty here.


 After Heavenly Lake, we went to the Urumqi airport for our flight to Kashgar.

Arrived at Kashgar at night and had a late dinner.

 Best kabobs I've ever had. Juicy, fatty, tender, and flavorful.

 Fried green beans with chili and lamb bits.

Noodles.
