You know, last month I just returned from (southern part of) Xinjiang, and I wrote ten pieces of "travel notes" on my trip.  But no matter how hard had I tried, my writings paled by comparison with subject one, which vividly illustrated the ineffable beauty of those natural landscapes of Xinjiang.  Though I am a septuagenarian guy now, still I wish I could go there again!  Now here is the "warm-up" for you at:

PS  One of my writings on the trip to Xinjiang is 南疆行(三)---嚴密的安檢 at http://blog.udn.com/kkuo0810/130650569.  But why should China Mainland carry out such a strict security measure in Xinjiang?  Recently CCTV produced a video concerning the various bloody viots taken place in Xinjiang, which obviously had little to do with racial problem or ideologies; instead, they were sheer terrorism which made anti-China media in West all shut up.  Kindly watch it at http://youtu.be/BigSOYRZqlo
