Dunhuang City, so to show in my eyes, not the city, but still very active on the market already has a deep imprint of tourist city.
Beijing pre-contact Sister good place to stay so I borrowed a light and she was living while eliminating the need for four to find a place to live, as they are on the second night would have to take the train to Urumqi, so the rush to lay down their backpacks Mingsha and Crescent Moon Spring. But I am a little tired and intends to stay two days in Dunhuang, so I wash in the hotel to rest after 9 o'clock I went outside, because the city is not famous, I walk to the sand on the night market, a variety of stalls are shouting the business, south to North to tourists also enjoy the north-west in a variety of eat, I do not have any good appetite, so just drink a bowl of fennel Beans Congee is done supper. Visited the hotel will return to a rest.

September 7 out of the sky is the morning haze, the plan this morning to the Mogao Grottoes, noon to return to sleep, in the evening to the Crescent Moon Spring, and then on the morning of the 8th to the Yang Guan and the Jade Gate in the afternoon to go by minibus to the train liuyuan Turpan.

Through the hotel front desk when I asked about the car situation, to Yang Guan and yumenguan there is no bus, and only chartered, but it takes time more than the Mogao Grottoes, so chartered waiter suggested that I go to three spots. Went to inquire about a few straight roads where basically did not happen to contain FIT's car to two customs, are thinking of hotel rooms go Moga door, saw two taxis parked in front of where the front is a driver hello before I was called away by another person, and then get off the back of the driver to ask me where to go, the original driver but is also a hair shorter, I casually asked her to go to Yang Guan and yumenguan How much? She reportedly had a price, then simply we have reached a chartered tour Yang Guan, yumenguan, Mogao Grottoes, and the price of Mingsha Crescent Moon Spring, and she said that day can actually hit a few places to do, I said I do not want too much in a hurry to see the situation bar, you can keep on playing tomorrow in one place. So we hit the road. Sheung ago, I remember seeing her driver's license and her license plate, the basic is still satisfied with that.

The next thing was I had a little frightened. Driver did not drive directly to your car off the road to the yang of the West over the bridge after it opened into a deep bend to bend to the residential area are bungalows, she said she locked in the 23-year-old sister had to go home and open the door, I find it very strange, but did not make a sound, and the roads see a lot of old people and children makes me a little more at ease, to a door, she opened the lock, after a while to bring out a girl talking about us walk together, I asked why, she said that nobody at home at noon because of her sister, and I said she had 23 tubes do not seem to need people, and they took from the room out of two melons and a bag of peaches, but also come up with a knife on the driver's door on the left, the next driver did not backtrack is also a pass that went in front, and my heart committed whispered, and she was not driving at when I get off, saying that I do not, and go visit the walk in front of her car behind Zhijiao with me, even, and I explained, and later an old lady came to see where we stand-off, repeatedly testified that they were a good man, the driver explained that her driver's license this year, there is no trial, so to go along with her sister, her sister's driver's license is a trial too, and Yuehua Jian also show me, so I am skeptical of the boarded their car. But this time I sat in the back seat. And put the name on the license plate number and driver's license Faduanxiaoxi told the friend.

Xiangyang direction of the car flew off, and the roads are deserted, the left is the stretching of the mountains, is said to be, and Mingsha attached, and the right is Araara the Gobi Desert, and occasionally will go through some of the green grass dotted the Gobi can also feel a little vitality. Sleeping Buddha on the road have also seen the shape of the mountain. Cars and motorcycles to the fork in the road to the Jade Gate to open our first went into the decision to Yumenguan, in the Jade Gate to the entrance because we take the three people have asked us why sell tickets to buy two tickets, then driver drove her to leave her sister took me to into their own out of the car, so her sister took me into the car to the Jade Gate, a square of the mound (it should be said Feng Sui bar) alone in the wilderness of the legislation, the four-wire to prevent the people around on the inside, in the far left side of mound Department has a large green space so I am very surprised, said there is the ancient waterways, it can still nourish the trees to try to survive there.

Yumenguan out that we run into a driver of that car driver had his mouth come from the Jade Gate ticket fork in the road, and then, but not near a road, so we speed up the bound forks, and the results had not opened to see the shadows, but to all the way to open the way to look at the direction of Yang Guan open the way to go through the Yang Guan Dunhuang grape base - South Lake Township, where large tracts of vineyards, lush, and the Jade Gate near deserted in sharp contrast, until we open to the Yang Guan also did not see the driver's sight, but the way it began to rain, the temperature is low, and her wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt, it is very worried.

I entered alone into the Yang Guan, the distance was built several pavilions, which have a number of inscriptions, in the pavilion to the west is the site of the ancient Yang Guan, past the bustling town now, leaving only the long yellow sand and scattered Scattered A clusters of the plants, the face of Yang Guan sites, listening to the fallen on deaf ears at the roaring and let the rain sprinkled on the body, looking at the front of the ancient battlefield and distant rolling Qilian Mountains, the kind of bold and shocking sense of non-person and can not understand. I also took the highest in a pavilion within walking distance, ring look around, heard in the distance horse chirp, where the remnants of the Feng Sui stands, like the siege of the same and yumenguan up. Stay for a long time before leaving.

Asked his sister had come over the car drivers have not seen her sister, so we had to return, has not seen the driver of the trail, finally passed the fork in the road to the Jade Gate, after the beginning of her sister's cell phone rang, and finally, and convergence driver , and she had cold shiver, because she is walking on the road then it began to rain, she found a place farther away from the highway rain then we do not see her car speeding away, and she had come to their own ride我们.
Dual-sisters spoke the local dialect, then returned to 13:00 pm Dunhuang city, ate lunch, the driver will vote for me in touch with things so we began to open to the Mogao Grottoes. To the Mogao Grottoes, well you see there are many empty cliff caves, thinking that in such places have such a large-scale mural is fantastic.

Tickets are 80 yuan for each tourist guides with a look at 10 caves, because I alone, and there is no fixed group with which, every hole into the open on every guided tours hears, and thus will follow a tour of Sichuan, a will follow the Guangdong tours, a tour will follow the Northeast, 3 hours, I saw more than 10 caves, saw the beautiful murals and exquisite paintings of ancient arts and crafts, nature is very admirable. I left around 17:00 Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang, and only returned to 17:30 am, the day had been cloudy and raining, the results of the sun came out, because I did not feel tired, so the big bang to look at day Mingsha down. Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Moon are together, tickets 50 yuan, the door for the visitors after a number of camel riding, Camel Ding Dong did ring, I put shoes in their hands Eurya crawling along the sand to the above, the sun is very drying, the wind sand fly, head lamlam of the day, the sand-like lines, such as portrayed simple, clear, posted to the sand hills, heights, here are hidden in the sand inside Yihong Au springs - Crescent Moon Spring, a very beautiful picture, sand is very soft, very comfortable standing on feet, but also because, under the rain during the day is not hot, in the sand hills nostalgia for a long time, watching the sun a little bit of fate, and then I have done in the bamboo is sliding very fast, good enjoyable! Went to visit the vicinity of Crescent Lake for a while on the Wang Waimian go, then look back at Sand Hill, in the sunset's afterglow of irradiation, a golden sand hill, silhouetted against the white clouds dotted the blue sky, beautiful!

So I do not think I was pressed for the case of the day I completed my program in Dunhuang, so I decided to break in 8 day to finish the friend's commitment - to continue my travels, so in Dunhuang Mars bars where I sit now. Next, I will take the 20:00 train to rush 6 next destination.
