Less Info

Lower part of Talimu River( south of Yuli) where it turns SE and forms the border of the Taklimakan dune field. The river is heavily used for irrigation upstream, primarily for growing cotton. Views looking downstream with diversifolia trees in yellow. I flew over this same area two weeks earlier and the water level was in flood due to irrigation controls.
