Harbin man lives exotic life after retirement

On July 23, Liu and his friends gathered in Kumul, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The nine-member team then began their adventure, driving across Lop Nor in the great desert of Taklimakan.

Despite challenges and difficulties, they successfully completed the 3,600-kilometer trip in a week.

“It’s a really unforgettable experience, especially when I saw the Loulan Kingdom, which had been buried for centuries,” Liu said.
