20260927 Reflections of Xinjiang

Visiting only North Xinjiang

My First lamb cuddling!

My awesome rainbow sighting At Sayram Lake!

My snow at top of Tian Shan along DUKu Road! My first experience of summer, spring ,autumn and Winter journey of this DUKu Road that cuts thru Tianshan from Nalati Grassland side to Urumuqi! 200km but took more than 5 hours with the 4 seasons from valleys to mountain top! 😆 

My rejection of horse riding due to 60  past! So paid RMB20 for just the photo and me on the horse! Sian!

My first cotton plant touch！Amazing fields of them! Best up close and personal! TO touch! 

MY first understanding of how raisins were dried in the ancient days too!

My first e scooter riding？

 THe amazing record of Genesis found in Jiao HeRuins in Turpan ! The Bible of Creation is TRUE!!!

MY first witness of the amazing Karez wells or Qanat systems In Turpan! Actually after I came back to read more? This a Karez originated from Persia now Iran! Amazing “technology” that save the lives of many - the source of life of this water system 

And I saw how the sheep and goats and cows walk on the slopes of the mountains! They made amazing lines like this! GOsh! What a track! 😂 

Well well. Xinjiang is vast. 

I have never seen so many sheep goats cow horses camels all over the place! Herded by mainly their minority tribe of the Kazakhs. They are wealthy owners of such flock! A sheep may cost RM2k, a cow RMB20k but a horse is minimum RMB30k to over 100k depending on breed! So the Bible during the time of Abraham? HE was rich as he owned so many of such flock!  RIghtly so? Our Father in Heaven is the true owner of such assets. Like the grazing rights given to feed on the land by the government, we do not really “Own” this flock or our possessions. 😂

WInd Farms in Xinjiang ! Oh wow!

All over the place with the power of wind!

Journeying thru the car and train, yes the unseen wind. The spirit of God. We cannot see the wind. 

But yet when those wind turbines turn? BIg and small ones? The wind is expressed thru such turns!

OH what an energy!

What is the feeling like standing on the tip of Altay Mountains and overlooking the 4 countries? RUssia. CHina. Kazastan and Mongolia?  😂 The FEELINg of • ON TOP OF THE WORLD?”

Last but not least? MY first time loving to eat MUTTON! XInjiang maa maa is delicious! Cos they grazed on mountain grass! Overcame the fear of MUTTON! YEAH!
