Distance: 150 km
Expenses: gas 30rmb, hotel 65rmb, mogao caves 180(peak season price)
Events:
- After a relatively short ride, went directly to the Mogao Caves after reaching the outskirts of Dunhuang.
- It was a hard call whether to enter the Mogao Ku at the price of 180 per person. P had to do some soul searching and in the end he decided to enter. His soul was wrong.
- We had a bad guide. She went into little detail about the paintings and questions about destruction due to the Cultural Revolution were avoided more than once.
- Ran into Evan when while shopping around for a hotel in Dunhuang. "It's a small world" was playing in the background.
- In Dunhuang they sell a special apricot juice. More dried fruit and assorted kinds of nuts are on sale the closer we got to Xinjiang.
- An outdoor chuar restaurant gave us the boot because we didn't order expensive food and were just drinking beer. Another tried charging us 5rmb for free sunflower seeds. Evan's Chinese is really good, so he had the waitress have it.
- Overall, we were disappointed with the site and the city, and it was probably the worst place we visited.
