Scenic area about one kilometer into the desert there are camps, if want to pass lake is starting from there. And the staff of one side of inquiries and found that just this morning, took a pass into the Lake team, the next few days is probably no more. And a person like me, it is impossible in this day people are willing to go. Over, camels into the desert desire to have been dashed, and now seems to work only camels into the camps, walk around, encouraging Bale.
In recent days because of too many tourists, camels were tired, and camel industry is not enough, soon at the entrance to the accumulation of a bunch of people eager to go camel. Sell tickets boy dragged a chair to me let me sit and so on, I did not polite, an ass to sit down. Although knew hopeless, but no hope of being proven true is still very sad.
Fortunately, I am this person, but still enough optimism, waiting for the camel teams come out to accept the time we have listed a few minutes to make up for the new program. It is here that sell tickets, said into the desert, the best time is in September, the weather was good there were not many visitors, then I can come back in September next year, Well, and can call a vote on the people, their organizations teams. Special walking the desert, then 3,4 days is sufficient, I believe everyone has the time.
So ride a camel into the desert to go, my frustration to the new scheme has been completely replaced by the expectations, it might be convened immediately began to move.
The so-called camp is just a fenced open area of a few houses to provide some sort of amusement Desert Kart items. Since I play a person could not see any of these are fun to play, decided to walk around or go to the desert bar.
Chose the direction of true north along this road, moving away from the camp. Here in the desert and I expected, there is a certain gap between Kongkuo, perhaps because this was just at the edge of the desert area? Continuous barrier of small sand dunes to gaze in a small range, surrounded by sand dunes are always waiting for you climb higher.
Sand dunes in the camps will soon be all covered, I took the big bag dumped on top of a dune to do the next section of the road markings. In this looked into the sand all around the same place, or be more careful not to get lost good.
Strong winds, continuous sweep of sand tucked over, hit your face hurt. There is no sun block of spreading ballast, and good is now regarded as autumn, the temperature is not too big. Continuously in the water, but the lips are still cracked a mess.
I have been blown out along the sand dunes on top of the curve to move forward, these curves is almost perfect. From time to time to stop, look at their own footprints left by a long list. These footprints in the sand to keep only a few minutes, the wind will be quickly smoothed.
Standing on top of a dune top, I looked at the sand dunes on all sides has been a big assumption here, the hinterland of the desert, I am alone in the face of the endless deserted ... ...
Although there is only the most southern edge of the Tengger, but in any case I can be considered to see it.
Sand dunes can be seen scattered among 12 plants, when I was lying on a Sharper on the rest, actually also encountered a small lizards. Sharper on the two of us lying on the right depending on the quiet for a while, when I try to be more close to it, it turned to run away fast, and lightweight with no left little trace in the sand.
I sighed and climbed up Paipaipigu, should also leave.
Scenic spots of the time and came out as when you can you can go by camel. Of course, I was a camel. And that can only be so little road riding is not enjoyable. However, the camel is really tired.
Places such as the camel quickly gather a lot of people, I am too lazy to squeeze past and they are together, sitting on the fence on the edge of an abandoned wooden board and a chat with the young camel work, anyway I am in no hurry, always turn I am out. That camel workers say that today too many people, and camels and camel are not enough workers to use, and even the rest of the time I do not, go back and forth non-stop, all tired.
Waited a long time, have a team of camels coming. Approximately 10 progenitor camel bar, before and after a line in a camel workers came under the leadership secure in. Tall camel is very docile obedience to the command of the camel industry, the entire team lost in the camps before the head, and then all of a camel kneel down to pick one, so that people who ride down.
To those who finished, the other people who had robbed the camel herd phenomenon, and it is clear many people camel little less than a can only wait for the next robbed the team. And I chat camel work quickly led the camel industry in the past to help maintain order, there are still two people quarrel again. I looked at two camels from far side of saying something while working hard to gesturing, they are not good words, in these Lingyalichi only anxious in front of tourists.
Said that for a long time, that the young camel workers do not know what way the two fighting over who gets to the one who wanted the camel climb down, and then turned and waved at me, I am shocked reaction to what came before, make haste grab bag in the past. Camel work for me and the bag on the camel, arrange the two together and so the next team. Hey, snipe and the clam, has encouraged mischief.
Head in front of me riding a camel is a woman carrying a child, when suddenly learn camel workers had a voice shouting, and she rode a camel to hear the command immediately stood up, behind the camel, see the first camel stood up, but also are in accordance with the routine training of a next one stood up. But this time the person behind it has not yet finished, several people are on the half, did not prepare for the camel suddenly stood up and was scared of the shouting. On the back of the camel is to help visitors quickly go to work in front of the camel to pull down the camel, but pulled it apart, Wang Dan first played a very anxious face red camel workers, in addition to an incessant murmur: "how do camels cry easily! "I do not know what to good.
Finally got 10 people on camels have settled well, holding the first camel camel industry has gone again, numerous times along the way to go back. To bypass a few sand dunes, the camp was soon gone.
Our Tuodui meandering walk along the curve of the natural sand dunes, head bent his neck under the Camel has issued a crisp, rhythmic sound of the ding-dong. I would like to see want to go back for so long, but just touched the edge of the Tengger 1:00, but was more and more green dotted the sand dunes blocking the view.
This is not, next time, I will return.
Rejected a number of drivers looking to do business over, I stood a moment watching the edge of parking lot and found two people who also seems to leave the past, they were not consulted with the car rental, hit it off instantly. Since there are no train is said to stop, I am still a little safer return to halfback. May also have more choices.
Zhongwei station is very small, only a few a few times a day parked. Facts have proved that still only my original plan is feasible, from here on the bus, then transfer to Dunhuang Wu Wei Nan.
This is a climbing trip on board there were very few cars are also a few people. I found a three-seat, handlebar bag, and threw himself on the seat, the whole package of people looked on fallen almost immediately fell asleep. In a hot sunny afternoon, in the shade of the carriage enjoying the warmth of the windows blowing in the wind to sleep a long sleep, how happy do ah.
Vehicle and when I feel like I woke Shapotou a moment, struggling to get up and finally looked at a quietly flowing in the desert edge of the winding Yellow River, the river sparkling in the sun shining and the railway side of the fields used for sand-fixing word lattice-shaped grass, and left me there for the final impression.
And then found that this train is still parked in the Shapotou, but have not yet had time complaining, it is already back to sleep.
And then woke up is when the sun sets in the opposite do not know when the seat sat a young couple. And they chatted a few, in the know that my destination is Dunhuang, they enthusiastically invited me to the next, after this train sitting in their cars go, they also go to Dunhuang, and can always take me in the past.
I thought for a moment, I feel it, does not save time, thanked the good intentions even if they had.
Sun goes down, the car were growing gradually, and mostly railway workers, Yueshuixiaoxiao work look. I do not have to continue the chat, try to seize the time to sleep. Of that incumbent, times a car is bound for Beijing, Urumqi, there are no more seats will not necessarily very likely no time left for sleep.
But before the scheduled arrival time, there is an hour when I was up. Because I have found to stop this train station is not only more but also non-reporting stations. Usually, it is difficult to associate this idle point, can not be alone time to determine the station.
In the carriage a walk in a circle, found the conductor, Please Wu Weinan station, he time to let me know. He made me at ease when it comes time would call me. It was a bit stiff middle-aged, less talking, but always very good to me laugh, I guarantee that will not let an opportunity of talking to me sat station, when I asked him about are there any other from the Wu Wei Nan The car can go to Dunhuang, it is very serious for me memories of a train timetable.
The train arrived early, but I was not happy for this purpose. Because I'll replace the car was to be 1:00. In other words I want a man in a dark cold waiting room to wait for four hours. Said there is nothing too cold. Here a great difference in temperature between day and night, relying on the sun's heat during the day can only wear tan unlined, while the night when the sun disappeared, I had three sets of clothes and still shivering with cold.
Bought a ticket back to the waiting room where the books come up with a dim light on a moment looked at, or cold will not do. Look at away from the car to the time still early, decided to walk around outside the station, sporting what may be a little warmer.
Out of the waiting room, and only a few restaurants on both sides have come to light revealing the other places is completely dark. So late, in a strange place, or do not run around good. Picked one looks the most "safe" restaurants - I do not know what standards are picked, because it is both similar to those restaurants, and go to a bowl piece. Although not hungry, but the soup can be warm. In the patch up, have to drink a cup of hot water and feel much better.
Restaurant area kinda big, put a dozen Zhang square table, apart from me there is no other guests, a young girl in front of greeting guests, behind the kitchen, cook two or three young men should be it, like being busy to cook their own food. No kitchen door without curtains, but still not very clear to see, as full of a dark one. I think it is a little easier to look at is not clear what to eat next. Fortunately, when I travel is generally not care about things like health.
The most chewing food thoroughly to my way of eating that bowl of noodles films, or just passed a little bit of time. But I do not want to stay here, the. Restaurant to the front of the people to dinner, and looked at a few people a little bit hard to avoid bad associations, saying that fear is indeed a fake.
Had returned to the waiting room of cold kick into gear, this moment Daoshi more personal with me, but he was just curled up in a chair to sleep on the other side, I have no courage to say hello to him. The study had bored the train schedules and maps on the wall or something. Not study Fortunately, a study of gas I put in half to death. I found that I came here because of that trip car early to, I could have to catch up with another trip to Dunhuang's car! Because this train to the departure time of that trip in my car before the arrival time, I noted that there are such a trip are fundamentally no car! Who knew that car trips in early to do it! More painful four hours, ah ... ...
Fortunately, anger is also a way to kill time, just as I thought I'd be freezing to death in the edge with one side of the city do not have the time, and finally heard the news of the train must stop. Also in a more cold shiver on the platform of the 10 minutes, they finally reached the car.
One into the car, a group rushing toward us warm, but the attendant is a unique long-distance trains on the dirty air. Beijing to Urumqi, it should be is the most long-distance trains of the bar. Many of the Uygur people on board Nongmeitaiyan Unfortunately, this is not a good time to talk with.
My ticket number is of course not only trains one by one to find whether there are empty seats. Because it is night, most of the empty seats were occupied people to do bed to sleep. And I do not want to run and be awakened by those who quarrel with danger, can only continue to find them. In the sitting of the two or three times, was again the toilet, or to get rid of smoking and drinking were two or three times, finally get a seat to determine that no one, so I could sleep a few hours. Air terrible, but it can go to Dunhuang after daybreak, and all can live with.
