It took us a half day to tour around the Echoing-sand Dune & Crescent-moon Lake in Dunhuang. Scenery was pretty good. We had paid a lot for entrance tickets and renting a kart. But, I really enjoyed camel riding!

Safety inspection of Urumchi International Airport was too stringent. You will be asked to have luggage checking even for a battery. Shoes, jackets, girdles…all off for inspections at the entrances. Luckily, I wore sports suit and have no worry on holding trousers. Haha…

Yes. we could arrange it if you like. This is a link of Jiaozi for you. And De Fa Chang must be the best recommended restaurant of Jiaozi in Xian。
