29 As early as 9:38 arrived around Dunhuang
100 yuan package Santana 2000 from the Dunhuang Dunhuang Railway Station to reach the urban areas (about one and a half hour)
Live in Dunhuang Hotel (2 stars), we live in an ordinary three humans, 50 yuan / person, public bathrooms, hot showers, clean and sanitary. Dunhuang Hotel, where a lot of, you can find cheaper places, this depends on whether we own situation.

Around 1 pm, eat lunch, so to continue to package Santana 2000 to the Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Moon Spring. 100 yuan

Arrived around 1:30 Mogao Grottoes (ticket 80) tour to visit, we had about six before leaving, the driver master to say that we really can see, it is generally more than two hours on the out. Some people say that watching the morning light is better, but in fact both morning and afternoon, can light penetration into the caves are very small, so look at the afternoon will not be worse than in the morning, the key is to rely on the brightness of flashlight. Rent a flashlight are relatively dark, much worse than the guide. There is a certain number of lobbied, there will be guided to see a cave. Guide recommendations with a woman is better, we had a male tour guide, talking very fast, we're not react, he had finished the. On the way met with another group of men and guides are also more so, in some instances a strong north-west accent, sounds like a talking piece, even more do not understand. However, a few women experienced guides, are articulate clear and vivid. Would be best to bring their own a relatively bright flashlight, where the rent flashlight 3 money, deposit 10 fast, but the rent is very bad, brightness is not enough.

Arrived around 6:30 Mingsha, camels, up 60 yuan / person, when the ticket is 30 yuan / person, but after the ride tells us that this is directly to the Crescent Moon Spring, if you want to go around a hillside up Mingsha , and then go on Crescent Moon Spring and the 60 yuan / person. Mingsha that is worth a go, but should pay attention to time, because waiting for us down Zaiqu Crescent Moon Spring, when night approached, so did not see this lake sunset, it is a pity. Where the dark about 7:30 or so, we can get hold of a good time.

30 package Santana 2000 to Yumenguan, Mo Guicheng (about 180 km, from 360 yuan, ticket 70)
At about 7 am departure from the Dunhuang Hotel, on the way to see the sunrise in the Gobi. Yumenguan the morning to see more beautiful, and the rising sun to illuminate the golden yumenguan, the afternoon we came back from the Mo Guicheng go through yumenguan, the feeling is that under the hot sun of a large gray stones.

As we start early, so arrive Mo Guicheng relatively early, still a lot of cross-country jeeps, 80 / car, come here to rent their off-road vehicles, if they come to open off-road vehicles, it may pay more money or a relationship, then we can opening into, so even more cool of. We have entered Mogui Cheng, where the landscape is very unique, and think about actually stepping across billions of years ago, the sea, it feels wonderful, but also a hint of fear of space. Is said to be 80 kilometers to reach the forward of the Lop Nor. When we come out of the time, are more tourists come, and the jeep is not enough, many people waiting in the hot sun, so secretly glad that they are out early. Mo Guicheng here is the film "The Touch" are said to have more than 10 kilometers inside the no development is being developed.

The time required for the two spots are not many more than three in the afternoon we started to return, on the road have also seen a mirage. Our drivers speak, where the Gobi Desert is very easy to see mirages in the afternoon sunshine 2-4 points, the most time, it is easy to see.

Night riding Dunhuang to Lanzhou by train, T54 times, from Urumqi - Shanghai by train. 8:00 multi-start.

1, as early as 9:30 or so to reach Lanzhou, packet of a Santana 2100 yuan, up until the sixth return to Lanzhou. Pack drivers accommodation. (Accommodation is very cheap, because we have to live and eat is not expensive, a few people and then sharing, little money)

12:00 Multi-eaten start from Lanzhou, Lanzhou Ramen, after nearly nine hours of bumpy, 21:00 to Langmusi more, we are from far to near, the goal is to return to Lanzhou, the last time, easily controlled, so that walk, and later we also found a benefit, and that is always able to avoid a lot of people, when we go to Langmusi time, most people in Xiahe, a time when we went to Xiahe, where people have is running out.

Jen Green is the largest of the hotels over there, but we arrived in time to have lived, and Langmusi hotel is. So we looked for a casual, 15 / person, not clean, passable for a night.

2 Tianzang Tai morning, get up early to start, it was time to make breakfast, the whole village was shrouded in smoke, from the hill looking down, feeling great. When approaching Tianzang Tai, there's nuns fees of 10 yuan / person, four of us gave her 20 yuan, saying not to vote, she would put us up the. The day we go there is no burial process, only to see some wreckage.

've Spent Tianzang Tai, down time after Langmusi, in fact, Langmusi mainly look at the entire village and the surrounding natural beauty, the temple itself is not significant.

Then went to the Grand Canyon, is the Sichuan side (langmusi junction in Gansu and Sichuan), is also very beautiful scenery. We are a leisurely stroll, but they also have read a morning.

After dinner at noon and 2 o'clock we set off to the Maqu. From Langmusi to Maqu there is a 67 km road, dirt roads, but very smooth, but the beautiful scenery of the surrounding grassland, compared with hindsight what Sangkecaoyuan stronger many times and seen these grasslands, they do not specifically look at what grasslands of the.

The afternoon of the Maqu, having read the first bend of the Yellow River, the Yellow River flows east from here came from a big turn, flows to the northwest. Here the Yellow River did not expect such a calm, clear.

Places at the Yellow River Village hotel, very clean, 15 yuan / person, human, or five years between coats, there are heating. Bath 2 yuan / person.

On the 3rd morning, up again to see the Yellow River, where there is only three kilometers from the town, very close. Originally wanted to see the sunrise, but the thick clouds that day, so really see when the sun has been very bright, but the thick cloud cover is sunlight, there is another kind of beauty. Another look at the Yellow River in the morning is really beautiful, very quiet and clear, plus around the hazy sunlight, This, as the mother river.

Watched the sunrise, we are starting to Lu song, passing the Gahai, national bird sanctuary, the distance is about 57 kilometers, the road was newly built, and a good walk, an hour or so will be able to reach. Here beautiful, blue sky, white clouds, hwangcho, water, clouds cast shadows on the hillside are so clear, so that our surprise is that this time there is large group of large birds, they still give us some face and flying about a minute or two over the past a group of dark mass is very comfortable.

Paul Qu Gahai to more than 40 kilometers, 213 national highway as if the road is bumpy, and at noon when we arrived, ate lunch break of the Council, went to go visit the Stone Forest.

Shilin County from the Lu Song 60 kilometers, we see a signpost on the 30 kilometers, more than the actual, more than 30 kilometers just to charge that card, where, fortunately, when we are walking on a cloud, the passing When charging point is hail, so the people inside too lazy to come out charging, and we thus entered. Wait until the Stone Forest, we have been out of the Napian clouds, in the clear air down the. Relative to the previous seen, stone forest landscape in general, on a thin strip of sky pretty good, it is recommended to go to not to Shilin.

Come out from the Stone Forest is 45 o'clock, and we continue to go to the Xiahe. To go through cooperation, about 84 kilometers to the co-operation, and then walked about 53 km dirt road, we are 20:00 to Xiahe.
Hostels are full, we looked for a 12 yuan / person, like a student dormitory, but also clean, that is just into the feeling of cold, but the toilet, the water room is like university dormitories, hot water is also very good. The next day we changed to the Dolma, better, and on the third floor, five earth, the ground is a carpet in the middle there is a beautiful Tibetan stove, went to the balcony you can see not pull leng Temple.

4 AM teach you not pull leng Temple, along the turn to go through the corridor, and slowly walk and see, one morning, consumed there. Xiahe's natural landscape is very general, a very small town, to watch is not pull-leng Temple in the back from our trip can also understand this point.

Total cases in the afternoon we go holy lake, 35 km from the Xiahe, this place is to listen to online presentation, we have not heard of before this place, the results went for us disappointed. First road is very hard to find, and asked a lot of people, to find way, followed by road is difficult to walk, there is no repair ever winding dirt road, dangerous enough, the driver was very uncomfortable, and we are also uncomfortable sitting, to a piece of ground, We let the driver stopped his climb, at an altitude of 3000 meters above the local mountain climbing, and we walk asthma Shi Shi, but in order to see the legend of the holy lakes, we have been adhering to, or from the mountains to go cutoff, from drill to drill to the ground under the trees, climbing more than an hour before the peak, well look at the past, the lake is still below that is a very common one Wang lake, surrounded by a number of houses was also revised, as if accommodation , next to a cement road, the air still holding tacky ribbons. Simply is no spectacle, we do not bother to go in down. GG can not be reconciled with the two to go, reached the lake, was an old man grabbed for Mai Menpiao, 5 yuan / person, to come back say that there is a small break lake. In addition, where what some other attractions, such as what the Ganga grasslands, octagonal city, white cliffs of what, we do not go there to look at Internet User said, feeling the very general, each place will always develop a number of attractions, in fact, does not necessarily have a special place, everyone's time good enough to go take a look at Ganga grasslands in the summer of Hebei 28 kilometers, and then 7 kilometers north is the white cliffs and so on.

We Langmusi way to go to Xiahe, have encountered along the way to Xiahe langmusi the Mix, almost everyone said to us Sangkecaoyuan boring, do not go, but we want to have to, how also go and see, Anyway, is also not far from 15 kilometers away from Xiahe, so went, and indeed boring, is said to be better grassland deep point, but we have always been far too beautiful grassland, so to see how here also think the general.

5

The morning leisurely stroll in Xiahe, Xiahe is the county seat, in fact, that is, a street, we have a look and bought some souvenirs, back to a friend, went to the snow-covered restaurant, not bad, but nothing special .

Was originally prepared to return to Lanzhou, the next day, but have friends to go to Tianshui, but we also think that nothing can be spent in, so leave return to Lanzhou in the afternoon.

18:00 left to Lanzhou. This trip also successful end.

Little information is now everywhere in Gannan road, road is basically never a good one, in fact, according to distance, from Lanzhou to langmusi about 430 km and only then, if the high-speed, four hours is up, if it is parked asphalt, also six hours, in the middle a lot of sections of roads are poor and can only open 30 km / h or so, but now way everywhere in repair, I would like a year or two, where the traffic would be much better.
In addition, according to our time, to have enough time to look at Zoige, there is a A Wancang grasslands, the grasslands, where the Yellow River from flowing, but now roads, although only 48 km away from the Maqu, but the road is really is too broken. After the road is good, we can have time to take a look. However, I personally think that langmusi - Maqu the road is already very beautiful grassland, grassland to see one on the same subject.
