China Revisited: Shaanxi History Museum
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009/04/shaanxi-history-museum.html
Tuesday, 7 April 2009. Ticket for the train to Jiayuguan, the city at the extreme western end of the great wall has been purchased, unfortunately I couldn't get one for today so have extended my Xian stay for another night. Went to Shaanxi History Museum, it's about five minutes walk from Big Goose Pagoda and it's FREE. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Grey Nomad in the Philippines. As requested by John.

China Revisited: To Dunhuang and Mingsha Mountain
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009/04/to-dunhuang-and-mingsha-mountain.html
Sunday, 12 April 2009. To Dunhuang and Mingsha Mountain. I had a front row seat right behind the safest bus driver I've yet experienced in China. The bus was a medium sized long distance number with reasonably comfortable seats and it seems a no smoking policy. I've had a great day climbing sand dunes and taking lots of pics and then a very nice feed in a nearby restaurant; it's so handy having a native to do the ordering. 12 April 2009 at 17:24. 12 April 2009 at 21:09. Hope you like the new map. No Fore...

China Revisited: Jiayuguan, “The less said, the better”
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009/04/jiayuguan-less-said-better.html
Friday, 10 April 2009. Jiayuguan, “The less said, the better”. The best advice I have for any solo travelers contemplating a brief stopover in Jiayugoan is DON'T BOTHER. I have a bus ticket 70 Yuan to Dunhuang for 0900 tomorrow, site of the Mogao Caves in the Mingsha Hills. That will be my last stop in Gansu and puts me closer to the mighty Taklamakan.

China Revisited: Turpan to Kashgar,
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009/04/turpan-to-kashgar.html
Thursday, 16 April 2009. Turpan to Kashgar,. My respect for the caravan traders of the past has appreciated significantly in the course of this journey and I've gained more of an appreciation of just how significant an event it was to be cast out through the various gates of the great wall into the unknown expanses of this unforgiving landscape.

China Revisited: A couple of days in Xian
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009/04/couple-of-days-in-xian.html
Saturday, 4 April 2009. A couple of days in Xian. Came back to the hostel at 2030 to find it also full of university students, some the worse for wear having celebrated with Beijiu (Chinese rice spirits) a little too much. Morning revealed not all of it had managed to stay down with soiled bed linen and mattress outside airing. 5 April 2009 at 01:46. Fascinating. One of the better cities to visit in China by the looks of things. 5 April 2009 at 17:17. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Turpan to Kashgar,.

China Revisited: Mogao Caves and Dunhuang
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009/04/mogao-caves-and-dunhuang.html
Sunday, 12 April 2009. Mogao Caves and Dunhuang. Hooked up with Toru and Atsushi to share a mini bus to the grotto, not bad value at 20Y for the return trip. There is a shuttle bus that goes from the city to the train station and then to Mogao, I'm not sure of the cost but expect it to be in the order of 5Y each way. Stops for the bus are clearly displayed in Chinese and English around the city. Ph:13893763029 http:/ blog.sina.com.cn/juckljpyqsz E-mail:dhzhzh@163.com. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

China Revisited: April 2009
http://greynomad-china.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 17 April 2009. This is the end of my China Silk Road journey, it's not complete by any stretch of the imagination and there is so much more to see and do, but I've achieved what I set out to achieve, for now. Thursday, 16 April 2009. Turpan to Kashgar,. Tuesday, 14 April 2009. Dunhuang to Turpan (Tulufun). The city itself holds little attraction so only staying here one night and then off to Kashgar (Kashi) by overnight train. Sunday, 12 April 2009. Mogao Caves and Dunhuang. Hooked up with Toru a...
