IT was 9pm but the sky of Hotan town was still bright.
This is one of the unique features of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region located in the northwestern side of China.
The prefecture moved its clock ahead by two hours to match the time in Beijing when the country decided to implement one time zone following the formation of a new China.
This resulted in the locals having to adjust their routine by starting work at 10am. They get a two-hour lunch and nap break and end their day at 8pm.
Xinjiang is a beautiful place of vast desert basins with stunning scenery and mountains covered in snow are visible on clear sunny days.
