Xinjiang's famous of their raisins and grapes. but it was quite a disappointment man. awww. we couldnt pluck the grapes and eat just like that. the place was overly commercialized and there's nothing much to see except the grapes that filled up the whole rooftop and we can eat none of it.

Then we went to home visit at some farmer house, in actual fact is to buy raisins from them cos according to the tourguide, the raisins from the households are organic and it is very good for health and digestion.
