Dunhuang to Lanzhou

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Feeling very very tired !!. Left Dunhuang and took the bus to Xining. Some lovely scenery thru the mountains especially the sunset, but the night was cold to the point my clothes froze to the window of the bus and they didn’t supply blankets. Fairly good road but a lot of large lorries after Golmud, possibly on there way to and back from Lhasa. So arrived in Xining after a sleepless 18+ hours in a bit of a daze. Too cold and foggy to hang around so jumped on the train to Lanzhou. Train cheap but prefer buses – at least compared to a hard seat.

So now back in Lanzhou, as polluted as ever so will now leave tonight on another overnight bus to Xian.

Dunhuang

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Another ! long bus journey overnight to here, Dunhuang. The place a major tourist destination, with a modern easy going center and user friendly with good hotels and food. However as elsewhere the tourist season finished so very quiet despite the nice sunny weather.

Dunhuangs claim to fame is the Mogao caves, as per LP, one of Buddhist arts greatest respositories in the world going back to 366ad up until the decline of the silk road. Basically hundreds of caves/grottoes along a sandstone canyon wall which were hidden by the sands of the Gobi desert until discovered and raided by western explorers in the early 20 century. Impressive sights despite only getting to see a small selection of caves and given my tour group consisted of only me couldn’t complain about the crowds.

Today did the crescent moon lake, a none descript bit of oasis nestled amongst huge sand dunes up to 1715m high. Climbing the dunes proved great exercise ( hard work) and very scenic
so all good fun and well worth the effort.

Tomorrow another long trip across the mountains to Xining, and going by the weather forcast will be none to warm.
