{Silk Road Episode 8} In retrospect of my week in Xinjiang back in 2017
<p>Photos of the hustling bazaar, breathtaking natural scenery, as well as colourful souvenirs at my home together brought me back to my journey to Xinjiang almost five years ago. It was when we followed the path of the Ancient Silk Road, discovering the corners that might sound unfamiliar for many of us. China, nowadays, attempts to revive the past glory of the Silk Road in the region by advocating the “One Belt One Road” strategy. However, through the camera lens and first-hand interaction with the locals, is Xinjiang really blessed with the rosy picture of all ethnicities being respected and living without fear in all aspects?</p> <p>This episode is also available as a blog post: <a href="https://bauhiniahk2014.wordpress.com/2022/03/13/in-retrospect-of-my-week-in-xinjiang-in-2017/" target="_blank">https://bauhiniahk2014.wordpress.com/2022/03/13/in-retrospect-of-my-week-in-xinjiang-in-2017/</a></p>

{Silk Road Episode 7} Sayram Lake (賽里木湖): Turquoise Waters in Xinjiang
<p>An ethnic Kazakh man, in his limited Chinese, told us that Sayram means “blessing” in his mother tongue, and wished us peace wherever we go. Being in one of the most impressive bodies of water, I felt particularly blessed to be around the lake. Framed by the majestic Tianshan Mountain in the backdrop, the turquoise water of Sayram lake seemed to be meeting the azure sky in the distance. Immersing in the locals’ hospitality and this picturesque scene in Illi was nothing more we could wish for.</p> <p>This episode is also available as a blog post: <a href="https://bauhiniahk2014.wordpress.com/2021/12/01/sayram-lake-%e8%b3%bd%e9%87%8c%e6%9c%a8%e6%b9%96-turquoise-water-thriving-meadows-an-undulating-mountain-view/" target="_blank">https://bauhiniahk2014.wordpress.com/2021/12/01/sayram-lake-%e8%b3%bd%e9%87%8c%e6%9c%a8%e6%b9%96-turquoise-water-thriving-meadows-an-undulating-mountain-view/</a></p>

{Silk Road Episode 6} Turpan (吐魯番): China’s Flaming Furnace
<p>To surmount the dry heat and miles of sand, Turpan, perhaps, was the most challenging part of the Journey to the West for traders and travellers in the Silk Road. Even we only stayed there for one entire day, we could already feel our sweat drizzling and our longing craving for a set of juicy grapes. Outside this city lies an impregnable mountain range blanketed by perpetual snow, with Tianshan that separates the northern and southern part of Xinjiang. Monkey King and monk Xuanzang should be proud of themselves for how much they endured and what they had achieved.</p> <p>This episode is also available as a blog post: <a href="https://bauhiniahk2014.wordpress.com/2021/09/10/turpan-%e5%90%90%e9%ad%af%e7%95%aa-chinas-flaming-furnace/" target="_blank">https://bauhiniahk2014.wordpress.com/2021/09/10/turpan-%e5%90%90%e9%ad%af%e7%95%aa-chinas-flaming-furnace/</a></p>
