Urumqi’s skyline stretches across the horizon below Hongshan Park.A paved road crosses open, stony country in Jinghe County.Sayram Lake seen from a hillside above the shore.A pale river flows past open meadows and forested slopes in Xiata Canyon.A rider follows a track across rolling pasture at Kalajun.Conifers dot the green mountain pastures above Nalati.A patterned brick tower rises above the Grand Bazaar in Urumqi.A red tiered pagoda rises above the trees on Urumqi’s Red Hill.The road bridge crosses a deep mountain valley at Guozigou.The Duku Highway curves around a steep, forested mountainside.The Ili River glows pink and blue at sunset in Yining.
