新疆 2011 Excerpts - Sayram Lake

We drove three hours from the city to the mountains to visit the famous Sayram Lake with our hosts. I actually came here last year, but I was probably on the opposite side, where there is no set tourist attraction. I even drank some of the water that time...The weather was much more gorgeous this year though =)

 After lunch we went hiking and saw some other views in the mountains. This highway was still in construction when I came last year but I think it's either done or nearing completion now.

 Cue giant grasshopper.
