Cruising the New Frontier 新疆行旅

Called the New Frontier in China, Xinjiang, a large area spanning 1.6 million km2, the largest province of China, 1/6 of its land territory. My trip started from Bangkok on May 20, stop midway at Chengdu for a one-day vocation and to team up my other travel friends. We arrived at Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang on May 22, and started this 12 days trip, ending at Urumqi on June 2. Without doubt, this would be the start of a series of trips coming and many more images.

May 23 Destination: Lake Sayram 赛里木湖

After a long drive, late lunch, stop for change of car battery, right before sunset, we arrive at our destination today, Lake Sayram. It was not a picture perfect day, but it is still a picture perfect place. We drove around the lake, slowly digest the beauty of the lake, stop to take some shots while the day entering into night, time for dinner and rest.
