Day 34 of our Xinjiang road trip. We headed east from Hotan, straight to Minfeng, just to chase Southern Xinjiang
“🚗 Itinerary:
Hotan ➡️ Minfeng ➡️ Qiemo ➡️ Tazhong ➡️ Alar
Many people take the G580 Desert Highway from Hotan directly to Alar, but we intentionally took a detour and chose the Minfeng route.”
