Today is a leisure ride to Shanshan only 46 km . Earlier just 5 km before reaching the town center with only 2 rows of shops and some buildings, the locals always says this " here is Shanshan!" maybe this is another way to lure the travellers to eat or stay here. We were prepared to continue all the way to Turpan which is 90km away from Shanshan. As we ride on , we finally reached the town center and within 30 min we changed our mind to take it easy to put up a night here in Shanshan.
