Has anyone been to the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang? I am planning a trip there, because I would like to visit the places where the Indo-European Tocharians were found, such as Loulan and Lop Nur etc. But, I hear that many of these places are off limits. Like Lop Bur for instance, because they are nuclear or military places.
I don't mind not being able to go to Lop Nur, but I sure would like to visit some of the other places where these Tocaharians lived. I dont just want to go to Urumchi. I want to visit the countryside far from the madding crowd and try to soak in the kind of environment that the ancient Tocharians saw and lived in....So any advice?
Cheers
