My wife and I made our first trip to China, in Xinjiang. We went there to see part of the Old Silk Road before it disappear as the speed of development that China is making is changing the landscape of that area that is one-sixth the size of China. I went there with the purpose to photograph the Uighur people. Although the landscape was not my main focus, it became when we traveled the Karakoram Highway. Those scenery were spectacular and breathtaking. Below are a few of the landscapes from the highway and other cities we visited. The following link are the Street portraits of mostly Uighur people http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1693831
For those who are bananas, like my wife and I, who do not read, write, or speak Mandarin I did a brief review of our trip in my Facebook page. The link is https://www.facebook.com/notes/steven-teo/my-first-trip-to-china-in-xinjiang/10155752832523466/
