Alashankou (Alataw Pass)

After 2 days in Urumqi, we took an 8hr train ride to 阿拉山口 (Alashankou), also known as Alataw Pass.
Alashankou railway station is the last train station on the Northern Xinjiang branch of the railway before entering Kazakhstan.



 
Going past that gate in the background will bring you out of China into Kazakhstan.

Very windy!


Kazakhstan is just beyond those mountains!

Some photos of photos, taken at a museum in Alashankou.
