The riverbed of the Kongqi river flowing through Korla is fully artificial; the banks have been laid out that people can have a rest, just sitting, even going on small boats or playing in the gardens nearby. It was winter when I was there, and even during that season, there are many people who enjoy he fresh air on the riverbanks. Walking there is relaxing, you can watch people canoeing, playing with their kites, just sitting there, and even look at the African fauna of the recreation park on the left bank!

Kind advice: Do not attempt to touch the souvenirs in any shops, if you do not decide to buy it. Once you touch, you will find something suddenly fall down from the stuff and you will be asked to compensate for it. Even you are innocent, any explaination is useless. Better ask your guide go with you, who can not only help you bargain the price, but also provide some extent of safety.
