Shanshan - Turpan

We will drive towards Turpan, another very important town along the Silk Road, located in a basin in the mountains of eastern Xinjiang and also often referred to as “an oasis in the desert”.

We will also drive to the Tuyu valley, which goes by the name of “Mecca of China”, since seven Mohammed seers are laid to rest here. It is said to be the best preserved Uygur ancient village built in a green valley at the foot of the Flaming Mountains (the Gobi Mountain) with ancient Buddhism rock painting and Muslim tombs.

You will stay overnight in a 4-star-hotel.
