Orlando Travel Notes

Route: Xining ---- Menyuan ---- Qilian ---- Zhangye ---- Jiayuguan --- Dunhuang ---- Dachaidan

It’s been a day since we returned from the Northwest. The reason I’m only now starting to record this trip is that after over a week of pure self-driving, I was utterly exhausted, plus on the last day I came down with acute gastroenteritis, so I needed some time to recover.

In March of this year, March 2023, my friends and I were at the summit of Shennongjia in Hubei at an altitude of 3,800 meters, a sea of clouds

During the National Day Golden Week, we embarked on a westward journey, covering a total of 4,110 kilometers over 8 days. Day 1: Xi'an to Xining, 8...

A quick note: Dunhuang is a place where you can easily capture stunning photos. More pictures to come later. I've always wanted to visit Dunhuang, especially because I feel the Mogao Caves are gradually weathering every year, and it's uncertain if we'll be able to enter the caves in the future. However, the scenic spots are quite remote, and our child was too young before.

A seven-day tour of the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop. It was a spontaneous graduation trip. Originally we planned to go to Xi'an and Chongqing, but we didn't buy plane tickets...

【Preface】 A spontaneous trip decided by three people on a whim without a long, rigorous plan, haha.

During the off-season amidst the pandemic, our trip to Dunhuang gave us the experience of 'only the two of us in the world'. We had originally planned to take the Sichuan-Tibet route or the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop, but worried

This is probably the fastest travelogue I've ever written. To quote Old Li (though I haven't paid the 'copyright fee' yet, haha): Because time flies too fast, because my memory is poor, I have to use all my effort to record every moment that touches my heart.

On July 17, high-speed train to Zhengzhou then flight to Xining, stayed at Xining Mengli Qiba Youth Hostel, which has standard rooms, double rooms, and dorm beds, all with private bathrooms.

Foreword: A trip to Gansu and Qinghai was planned as early as 2018 with Coach Wang Chengrong of the former Chinese Paralympic team. The plan was later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today (July 18, 2023), our group of twelve finally embarked on the journey...

The long-planned trip to the northwest went smoothly. Unexpectedly, as Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day approached, airfare actually dropped!! Even if I canceled and rebooked, I could save nearly 100 yuan. Later it dropped another 200-300, which was speechless. There was also another leg where tickets were still discounted close to the holiday.
