Backdate: Xinjiang Jun 2026 Day 3
14/6/26 Sun: We got up at 7.45am and went up to meet FIL and Potato for buffet breakfast at 8.30am. There was the cold马肉马肠which was a bit tough I thought. Departed at 9.30am for 克拉美丽沙漠公园and arrived at 12pm. *Thanks to阿力木for the local snacks~* There were many tourists around. D inosaur fossils were said to be found there last tim e and everyone wanted to take pictures with it. We had to first walk up the sand slope but it was soft and your feet just sinks in whenever. We were only out there for 15 minutes, and even with sunscreen on, my skin already turned red! Thanks to Fran's ChatGPT photoshop skills, other humans were removed in my photo with the fossil haha! There were other activities around like camel-riding, zip-lining and bridge-crossing, but we decided to leave after 15 minutes because it was too hot. Arrived at 丝路盛宴for lunch at 3pm. According to阿力木, the time is unified across China now, but Xinjiang used to be two hours behind, hence they still eat lunch and dinner ...
