Waiting to perform


There were a few groups of Kazakhs waiting to perform for the many troops of visitors coming into the park every day. In spite of the staged shows, it was still the highlight of the daylong trip to the Heavenly mountains.While Uighurs are easily found in town centres, it is different for seeing Kazakhs. They still live their nomadic lives in the Heavenly mountains. It was a real treat to have met some Kazakhs. In the hotel where we stayed I met a man from Turkmenistan and we met a few men from Tajikistan at Urumqi airport. These are people from the 'stans'.
