Xinjiang, China, May 2009 |
The
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in the far west of China. We came from Pakistan by bus over the
Khunjerab Pass to this region. It is so different from other parts in China.
Linked to
ABC Wednesday todays letter is X. And linked to
signs, signs. Signs with Uyghur and Chinese letters. So 190 km to where?

Those three languages on the sign is interesting to see.
I wouldn't have expected Uyghur and Chinese to be so different.
The signage reminds of Toronto, Ontario where multiculturalism is alive and well.
These signs are like some fine artwork in the draft stage! How fascinating to see on the roadside! Like a total other world!
It is like no place I have ever seen before...very dusty looking and a bit bleak. Love that first shot. Impressive. genie

Please learn to read the third major alphabet of the world, Perso-Arabic Alphabet. It says 190 Km to Urumqi, and the other place is Tuqson.
