Yurts and Hailstorm

---

After the Heavenly Lake, we visited the Nanshan Pastureland, where the Kazakhs live and raise their livestock. When we were just about to leave, a hailstorm that lasted about 15 min broke out. Yiren was overjoyed to see stones of ice falling from the sky. It was indeed once in a life time experience for us.
