Xinjiang
What are you doing in February? I’m going to Central Asia.
My director’s parents live in a little village on the border with Kazahstan, about two hours from Yining. Yining holds a little special place in Cold War history as the flashpoint for a series of border clashes between Soviet and Chinese forces in the 1960′s during the Sino-Soviet Split. In addition to Cold War conflicts, Yining pops up in the news every now and then as region of conflict between Ugyhurs and Han Chinese. Cold weather, isolation, ethnic conflicts…I choose the most desirable vacation destinations.
After spending several days in Yining, I’m taking off on my own. My plan consists of wandering from settlement to settlement in Northern Xinjiang traversing the Altay Mountains (hopefully climbing at least one), with the ultimate goal of reaching Urumqi (er-rum-chi) and possible Turpan, before the 17 of February. Unfortunately, given my rather short holiday, I will have to bypass southern Xinjiang, including the Taklamakan desert (not really sure the point in heading there in the winter anyway), the frontier crossroads of Kashgar and the Tibetan border. I also probably won’t be able to hit Hanas Lake (access is sketchy in the winter) although I’m definetly going to try to see how close I can get to this absolutely incredible landscape. I will be going to Heavenly Lake.
I’m not going to lie, after 3 months here, I speak about as much Chinese as I did back in Canada. On the bright side, I’ll have 48 hours on a train with Chinese teacher (necessity is the mother of all language skills), and from what I’ve been told, large portions of the Uyghur (pronounced U-gur) population haven’t bothered with learning Chinese anyway.
This is how I’ve always envisioned travelling. Solo, no serious plans, straight from the hip rambling armed with nothing but a wad of mao-backs, the ipod, camera and a collection of warm clothing that would make even the Inuit jealous. To describe me as excited does not do justice.
You could also probably describe me as a idiot.
