China: Grapes for sale in a market in Hami (Kumul), Xinjiang Province. The Kings of Hami were hereditary Uighur rulers who paid tribute to China. The last king of Hami, Maqsud Shah died in the mid-1930s. Nine generations of kings of Hami are buried here. The ancient oasis settlement of Hami, also known in Uighur as Kumul, sits in a fault depression about 200 m below sea level and, like nearby Turpan, experiences extremes of temperature ranging from a scalding 45 C in summer to a freezing -30 C in winter.
