The Taklamakan Desert

As a day trip from Kashgar we travelled 2 and a half hours east to a section of the Taklamakan Desert. It wasn't part of a tour or anything as we weren't interested in camel riding and when we got close to the desert we were pointed in the right direction and left to our own devices. It was what you'd expect from a desert I suppose, sand and dunes and not much life. We walked and ran around for a while and I tried a big jump down a dune that didn't go according to plan.
