One day stay in Xi'an, the old capital where I lived in most of my light-hearted primary school and high school time. I love this city, but have to leave. After graduation, I shall be in the biggest city of China, which to me, everything is new and unkown. For the fist time, in a train to the west of Xi'an, the destination, Liu Yuan, is a new city nearest to the dreamland, Dunhuang. To my surprise, the next station to my destination is allmost in Xinjiang, another interesting place to explore.
Many passengers are of Xinjiang ethical dressing.
After Baoji, the third lagest city in Shaanxi province, I was amased to find so many tunnels, almost one every minute, when counting to two hundred or so, I fell asleep. There are native folks try to sale apples to the passengers, unbelievable cheap. At noon, arrived in the capital of Gansu, Lanzhou, famous for its beef noodle, I have seen the Yellow River running through the city. Thereafter, the train became running on Gobi desert, it's hard to see any trees, even grass. Climbing up slowly to Qilan mounts.
