Hop on a motorcycle and ride across China. Ride into the West. Out of urban industrialization and into the borderlands. Over packed dirt and concrete to a land still breathing with its own lungs. Bring your friends. If you think you’re dreaming, pay more attention.

Day 26: Jiayuguan to Anxi, Gansu

Distance: ? km
Events:
  • Rode about 250km through the desert with strong winds and no road except the expressway that forbids motorcycles. Later we learned that Evan took the expressway without a problem.
  • A sign in the middle of the desert said, "drive careful harsh weather." From Anxi on, all the roads were nice.
  • There were some sections, maybe a total of 1km at a time that were ok, but mostly included a variety of off-road terrain. We were lucky not to crash into a sinkhole that was 3m round and a meter deep. Of course there was no warning sign.
