Lanzhou

23 hours train ride bring us from Urumqi to Lanzhou. The countryside looks kind of "moon" like. There is not much besides huge wind farms (Vestas) and some oil fields. Lanhzhou is again a large city, situated the banks of the Yellow River. A highlight are the night food markets where various dishes such as sheep brain are on offer... . There are also less positive sights such as the vendors of real tiger praws... So far we haven't met a single tourist in China but as we walk through Lanzhou we meet Daniel again. The Polish guy who we met in Iran and traveled through Turkmenistan together - the world is small!
Lanzhou, China
