This Episode is about a city called Shache, or Yarkant in Uyghur language, in the province of Xinjiang. After finishing our roadtrip in Tibet, we finally reached Shache after the crazy adventures on national highway G219. Yarkant is a predominantly Ughyur city with a real middle eastern vibe. We went to the night market and enjoyed some great food followed by a dancing pool with a local dance.
We eventually just joined them dancing.
Join me on this Uyghur adventure in Xinjiang Province :)
