an Uighur village for the tourists... "la poderosa" posing in front of this tiny bus!
Jiaohe series: the entrance of what was a day, a city
watch tower
look there! It looks like a... ruin!
your attention please! Behind me a buddhist temple from the 5th century. If you observer well, Buddha statues are still visible
do you see the Buddha statues?
main entrance of the temple from the inner side
and this?
this is the most ancient sarira stupa on vajrasana throne ever preserved in China (don't ask what it is, I just pass the message)! This site has over 1640 years.
the main avenue seen from the Buddha temple
... and the main avenue from the watch tower. Did I mention, we're still in the Jiaohe series?
