Hotan General Tip

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

l_joo 2925 reviews

Favorite thing: Now I'm at Hotan's internet cafe which the Chinese called Waang-Paa. Look for Waang-Paa whenever you need internet, not looking for internet cafe because nobody cares about English here. The moment we arrived were in disbelief, due to over developing in every small towns and cities. Hotan is already a modern looking big city with roads as big as those in Beijing and a huge Peoples' square in aalmost every towns on the way. I saw an ancient wall in special conseravation about size 100 x 15 feet, for tourism perhaps and the rest were completely modernized. Uyghurs and Han live together but so obviously contrast in the development of where they live. Temperature is about 30C daytime. That's all for this tip.

Favorite thing: Don't worry, lots of internet cafes. They charge 2 yuan per hour which is about 8 times less than US Dollars. Fast speed but all in Chinese, so make sure you get use to it.
