The Uyghur Mosque and Emin Minaret in Turpan
The Emin Minaret in Turpan at 144 ft is the highest minaret in China. It is just an astounding intricate structure of 10’s of thousands of individual bricks laced together.
We make it a point to visit most touristy areas early or late in the day. Otherwise they are invaded in mass by bus loads of cloned Chinese tourists which follow their leaders who wield cutesie pennants and over amplified megaphones. Lucky for us, this was they only group that arrived and departed in short order.
