China Day 23 – Turpan – Korla – Luntai

Today would be the most boring day and least memorable day in the trip. It was a 500km journey from Turpan to Korla and then to Luntai. 

No interesting stops and barely anything to see. Worst part is that highways in this part of China, Xinjiang was not free for motorbikes so I had to stop and get a ticket that was calculated based on kilometers traveled on the highway.

Halfway though the highway and I decided it was not worth the money going the highway since I could see the national road just beside it devoid and empty of vehicles. 

I decided to turn off the highway and made my way slowly going through desert landscape.

At this point of the trip, I was constantly the last man since everyone had develop a monster capacity of flying through China in top speed.
