Ryan Pyle has been visiting China's western Xinjiang province regularly since 2001. But it wasn't until a trip in 2006 that he decided to focus his camera on this mysterious and remote part of the world. During his time in the region he has documented places like Kashgar, Aksu, Kuche, Hotan, Khotan, Urumqi, Turpan and all the remote and stunning places in between. Formerly known as Chinese Turkestan, this vast expanse of deserts and mountains has seemingly always been at a crossroads between cultures and time.
