    I booked to join a group to to Tian Chi (Heavely Lake) in Tianshan today. It's about 110-120km away from Urumqi in the Tianshan mountains, under the Bogda peak. The bus picked me up just before 10am, even though I was originally told between 9 and 9:20am.

    Three separate cave complexes called “Temple of a Thousand Buddhas.” None of them came close to having that many, but then, according to legend, they were stolen by German and French archaeologists 100 years ago. Oh well. One place had an absolutely Giant Buddha carved into the mountainside, three stories high. It was easy to tell, because there were stairs next to it.
