T perfect mountain climbing in Dunhuang City
18:10 pm the evening of September 28, late of Matthew has been dragged me hurriedly boarded the T52 West Train to Urumqi. Because there is a two-day National Day, the train still not the most horrible. The two of us very far away from the bed, but at least inside or in a car can be considered lucky to the.
On the bus to settle down, we come up with interest in computers, as well as print out a thick pile of information. Only when we reached the train, have a time to take a good look about our destination.
Train from east to west, gallops, and we woke up the next morning, I find that has come to China's Great Western. Eyeful looked, everywhere loess, due to dry weather and economic reasons, many farmhouses are available make adobe bricks for both the rise, outside the loess paste. A block of farmland, scattered in numerous scattered on the loess. Very much doubt that under such conditions, how to conduct a large-scale development and utilization. Western China, to roads, but no road, money money, even if the wish to invest, I am afraid is also difficult to find a suitable entry point. Western development, and appears to require a very long time to leaving the country again!
Sleep in my top is a brother-in Xinjiang, he told us that in most parts of Xinjiang, is simply not suitable for human habitation, but in order to prevent encroachment of the desert, and only in those towns and villages where the arrangements. Where the person's sole task is to plant trees. , Contained this year, maybe next year dry out and die, and those kinds of next year. Just like we see on both sides of the train tracks, like poplar. The only way to fight and desert phase. Is really admire those who for generations to come as partners with the desert, forest planting trees people. Want to come, when the Silk Road on both sides, there must be the remains of their ancestors left behind. With them, only to keep the desert oasis that one by one, in order to provide room and board and from the people.
The next morning when we rise, and look out the window when, suddenly saw the hearts of the coveted desert. The day before, we can see the stars of the cottage tidy farmland, is now looking ahead, are all stone paved vast wilderness. We are excited inexplicable, as if the child has been long-awaited birthday gift, fish, and returned after an absence of the ocean ... ...
The train has finally come to liuyuan station, we stood in the square outside the station, looking for people who carpool. This is a small station can no longer be small, but, while accepting the Mix from all over the world. Although the Dunhuang airport has been built, but most of Dunhuang fans, have chosen to liuyuan (now renamed as the Dunhuang standing) as their starting point of the Silk Road travel. Here, we met later play with us Dunhuang, Jiayuguan and so one of the strict pedestrian. In this way, we are beginning to line 7 of our Silk Road journey.
Note: The train in the morning to 10:40, from liuyuan to Dunhuang with Pakistan, but may have to wait, there are taxis, and people just need to carpool until relatively cost-effective. To us because many people, so it is on the CMB, we should hurry up to open. Gobi are all the way, so cool Ah.
