Backdate: Xinjiang Jun 2026 Day 5

At 10.30am, we took the bus back to Hemu station and阿力木drove off at 11.30am towards喀纳斯 . Stopped briefly and took some photos... felt like I can never get enough of the skies in Xinjiang!

The cumin taste in it was way too strong for me. It costed us RMB 199 in total. Walked around for a short while and Fran bought honeydew and watermelon (only RMB 20 I think?). We also queued for a while ...
