Train journey day 1

Category: Martin @ 01:42

My cabin (lower left bed). There were 3 other adults and one small kid in the same compartment.

Initially very green, the landscaped turned to desert after a few hours.

Approaching Lanzhou

Isn't it pretty ?

Arrival in Lanzhou after 7.5 h. People could quickly leave the train and buy some more instant noodles.

Approaching Xining

Arrival in Xining, the quite unattractive remote capital city of the Qinghai province.

After Xining it got more fertile again and we witnessed a big rainbow. Soon after it got dark.
