Day 223 (China): rest day in Qiemo (necessary)

There isn’t much to report. I tried to get my visa extended, which I was almost certain would not be possible here and it wasn’t. Then I just explored town for a while, ate, slept, got a haircut and worked on the blog and did some other internet related issues.

Qiemo is a much more “Chinese” place than the others I have been to so far. By this I mean that the number of Han Chinese here is much greater than before where I had the impression that the Uyghurs had the clear majority (although I do realize that my pictures belie this statement).
