The Silk Road travelogue part 10 - Yining 伊宁

The next stop along the trip is the city of Yining 伊宁, right near the border with Kazakhstan.

To get here, we took a small plane. Propeller driven, in fact. This is the smallest aircraft that I have ever flown on in my life till now.



We didn't do much here, though there was a dance by the locals to welcome us. The main attraction here is the wonderful waters of the Yilu river.


Then it was back again to Urumqi 乌鲁木齐.
