Down the mountain when the sun goes down, one on horseback to see the stars one of the light. Finally the Ministry of the pitch-black sky filled with discerning dense stars, the composition of a clear river-like galaxies. Not horizontal spreading, but rather three-dimensional layers. Really have never seen so many stars. Evening the village without electricity and only a little bonfire party fire and smoke.

He had just come out from the Lop Nor. He says with a laugh to make money in Hong Kong to the mainland to travel a very cost-effective, in fact, is his idea of making money and living a real difference.
