	Hami - Travel Guide
		HAMI today is the eastern gateway to Xinjiang, a rich oasis, in the midst of a seemingly endless desert and famous throughout China for its melons, the Hami gua.
		From 1697 until 1930, Hami was nominally controlled by kings, who for a time had obediently sent tribute to the Qing court, before becoming involved in the Muslim revolts that periodically engulfed Xinjiang.
		Today the tomb complex is in the south of the city and comprises an appealingly decayed mausoleum, a renovated mosque and two pavilions.

		If the enterprise had failed, there would have been an end to the paramounce of Meha, but his rapid success convinced the Huns that their proper and most profitable policy was to carry on implacable war with their weak and wealthy neighbors.
		He pursued them wherever they went, across the Gobi Desert and beyond the Tian Shan range, taking up a strong position at modern Kuldja and Kashgar, sending his expeditions on to the Pamir, and preparing to complete his triumph by the invasion of the countries of the Oxus and Jaxartes.
		When Hoti was still a youth, he completed this programme by overrunning the region as far as the Caspian, which was probably at that time connected with the Aral, and it may be supposed that Khiva marked the limit of the Chinese general's triumphant progress.

		To the northeast lies the Gobi desert, almost as harsh in climate as the Taklimakan itself; on the remaining three sides lie some of the highest mountains in the world.
		The hills surrounding the desert are mostly of sandstone, with any streams or rivers carving cliffs that can be relatively easily dug into; there was also no shortage of funds for the work, particularly from wealthy merchants, anxious to invoke protection or give thanks for a safe desert crossing.

		Whenever since A.D.

		I have also learned that in Chinese, "Gobi" means desert with rocks, as opposed to the sand dunes found in places like the Taklimakan Desert.

		It was one of the most intimate parts of the trip for me but I also felt like it would be too easy for me to romanticize their experience when the reality is that they didn’t have air-conditioned hotel rooms like we did and sleeping outside was probably a purely practical matter for them.
