Clever Chinese businessmen make money out of nothing or out of desert and sand:

You'll see Flaming Mountain on the way to the Thousand Buddha Grottoes of Beziklik. A Chinese business man has now turned the best spot for taking fotos into a main attraction, where visitors have to pay entrance fee for taking pics.

Be careful, when you see nice ladies in traditional dress, or camels: they are normally dressed so that tourists can take a picture with them. and of course this cost some money!

 Several of the cities we have visited in Central Asia claim to have the ideal climate for growing the sweetest watermelons. Turpan however, specialises in grapes - small, sweet and delicious.
