October 1
Early in the morning opened his eyes and found that out the window is actually a Gobi Desert! Never seen such a special beauty, excitement is self-evident. Took out the camera began to rush for a while before a quick photo. At this point already in no mood for eating and drinking, the grounds early and get off a good equipment, waiting for the moment, is intended to the station after the transport schemes. Happened to know two people who came here from Fujian Province travel MM, Guan and small over the small. Two more companions, to is also a pleasure, but also save a lot of fun behind the spending.
10:45, the train to Dunhuang station (formerly liuyuan Station). Get off, the temperature is low, the station is not as lively as legend, several sporadic taxi parked there. Because of fare found on the Internet, so very direct and touting the driver counter-offer price of 100 yuan 4. Just a car, the driver was delighted to accept and began starting.
Went to Dunhuang city, many holiday visitors. Small, residential lot. I asked several hotels the price is not cheap,
And no Internet written by 50-100 yuan of hotels, holiday prices generally rose. Spending the Night in the later Ming Shan Holiday Hotel, a counter-offer to the 120 standard rooms, facilities in general, according to the boss said it was because had just finished renovation, and we rush to rent the two are so cheap. To see the boss Wei Ren was also enthusiastic's sake, but also no more than to the theory. Fortunately, hot water, telephone are all complete, apart from some smaller hot water.
Around 14:00 pm Ben Wang Mingsha Crescent Moon Spring. Strokes of a leased vehicle, saying that a good 30 yuan package, excluding the time waiting for round-trip.
A few kilometers away are immediately up. Tickets are 50 yuan. Upon entering the door, saw the rolling sand dunes on the stay, and Tuodui stroll along the sand line flow. Wonderful scenery fascinating people. Run on simple-minded, go visit the sand dragging. 2 MM while riding his camel, has been rushed to sand the top. Afternoon, the temperature is high, the dunes is very hot. Play sand-boarding a lot of people, that the vertical height and seeing them scary. Simple-minded, and I just saved this sand-boarding costs, both to catch up with the top slid down from the sand hills, and then climb up to the energetic, sand is very fine, climb to be really tired. They reach the top post had been about to collapse. Therefore, caution you must take enough water, or to understand why this moment to walk in the desert why dehydration thirst. Enveloped in the desert to defeat their belief in the first place is to survive.
Mingsha sunset is really beautiful, and I like elephant Kuafuzhuiri went to a sand dune when no one saw the most spectacular sunset. Reluctant to part with them until the time when more than 20 o'clock at night, but fortunately the moon was brightest Saibei, has been escorted us out the park.
Drivers at the door to bring us back to the urban area, directly went to the sand the night market. Many tourists, but higher prices.
Eat a lot of mutton and lamb chops with string. There are legends in the apricot skin of water. (Recommendations to the sandbank friends do not need to go the night market, arts and crafts are also nothing characteristics).

At this point, little visitors to buy 80 yuan / person's ticket to rush inside the cave. Luck is also good, holiday, open free to visit 15 caves. Western Xia Dynasty, Northern Wei, Tang Dynasty ... coming full circle, to also enrich a lot of knowledge, those magnificent murals, stunning drawing techniques, are also dumping enough for a layman. Simple-minded, very well-prepared, but also a serious history books with the Dunhuang reference. We carefully watch the attitude estimate is N times that of others, but unfortunately brought the flashlight is not enough light, less understanding of some of the details. (Murals inside the Mogao Caves because of tourists, damage is very fierce, color fade so severe that it is regrettable)
Thin watch End Mogao Grottoes, deep feelings, which is a very relaxing to watch, rather than cursory style of browsing.

Seem able to feel that years ago people here busy downtown scene, but today, grassland will occur, Fan Jing is no longer. To leave the White Horse Temple, from the Gobi Desert to the Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes ride that nearly noon. Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes quiet as a Monastery, tickets are 20 yuan.

A lot of beautiful stones on the ground, and the simple-minded, along the way to explore the past, to have already forgotten the pain of overhead sun. Harvest is the biggest pick up a seemingly "chicken legs" ore.

The melt from the Qilian Mountains through the valleys, golden waves reflected in the valleys, dotted with 32 reed, people thought that came to the World outside the trance. And the simple-minded, and crosses to a hole before wading feel like a dark river, later did I learn from this hole is through the site of the nomads of Mongolia. Unfortunately, this was not the spirit of the past, take a closer look.
Yulin Grottoes is more beautiful murals, mostly drilled during the Period of Tang Dynasty. Of which 25 Cave is the works of the Tang period, the fare of 200 yuan / person, which we appreciate so far the most expensive one cave, but found it value for money.

The city to find the best three-star Great Wall Hotel, standard room to fold the surprise hit as long as 168! Accommodation is relatively cost-effective than the Dunhuang bit better. But we live in this house located in the environment has become more partial Moreover Jiayuguan sparsely populated, at 18 o'clock on the closed shop, and so our dinner on the edge of the taxi at the hotel restaurant hastily, the price that is not expensive, but It is not a lot of dishes, it is as killjoys.
