GRAPES FARM - 葡萄园

We visited the grape farm in Turpan and was treated to a feast of fresh fruits of water melon and honey dew.  They were sweet and juicy.


Entertainment of lovely dance performance by Uighur lass

Farmer introduced the variety of grapes he grows and the procession of dried raisins


Fresh grapes are processed into sun dried raisins.  At the end of the visit, there were raisins for sale. The price was higher than in the market.
