Today we
have long journey for 650 kms. We start our day with the warm feelings in our
hearts for the family who gave us very sweet and fresh watermelon yesterday
when we were visiting Grape farms.
The journey
was listless except that we were seeing the mountains all throughout the
journey. These are called Folded mountains. These are so called because the
water from the mountains after the snow melts comes down, over the ages, and have
made their path in such a way that they looked folded in appearance.
Kuqa is a
country in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region under the administration of
Aksu Prefecture. It was once the homeland of the ancient Buddhist Kingdom of
Kucha. It is at an elevation of 1,072m. The
Kuqa county is located at the southern periphery of the Tian Shah range, the
northern portion of the Tarim Basin, and the centre of the autonomous region.
It has a population of 4.5 lakhs.
We reached
Kuqa at about 6 pm.
