China Trip - Days 14, 15 and 16 - Turpan
Aug. 19th, 2018 06:06 pm10/17 – Turpan
Woke up at a nice, reasonable time and started roaming the city. We started off by walking towards the museum, finding police officers literally everywhere. Going into a hotel involved showing your passport, putting your belongings through an x-ray machine, and walking through a metal detector. So did walking through stores. Police officers were literally everywhere. There weren't just the ubiquitous scans (in one store, we had to walk through two – one at the entrance of the building, another to get into the store), there were also groups of police officers walking around together with shields and batons.
