Keketuohai Geopark, Xinjiang: Hiking 500 million years of Earth's history stacked in rock layers — lesser-known gem in the Altai region
This isn't a megadestination, which is exactly why we loved it. Keketuohai Geopark is basically a geologist's dream if you're already in the Xinjiang loop. Every rock layer tells a different story — we literally walked through geological epochs. The gorge has this turquoise river cutting through it, yurts dotting the ridges, and zero crowds. If you're doing the Altai loop from Kanas, this fits perfectly between larger stops.

We recently flew into China and travelled Hainan for 3 weeks with our power banks. By the time we were checking in for our flight to Guangzhou we were confident w could get through with our power banks. We were very wrong and power banks were confiscated.
That said we were already travelling with the power banks and couldn't leave them any where so our option was to throw them away or take our chances getting them through airport checks.
So just wanted to confirm no CCC rating bye bye power bank. That said we ended up replacing the confiscated power banks with Xiaomi power banks which are brilliant and are powerful enough to charge a 65 watt laptop.
The power banks were around 240rmb which is a steal compared to local prices for the exact same product in Australia.
