2013, HSR wasn't completed back then :O. You got pictures of Wind Farms, I heard China's wind farm are gargantuan size.

A 10-km hike was a total torture when I felt exhausted after 30-hour sitting in the hard seat. I felt I could easily died from heart attack or encephaledema anytime.without a sound sleep.

Now I'm scared to visit high altitude sickness.

cute panda man.

Panda-man wanna commit suicide at that time, wind almost blew his cap and succeeded in blowing away his cholocate.

I suffered a lot cause I did't have a sound sleep.
No worry! I felt OK in Tibet, except that horrible night at EBC(5200m).
Wind Farms would be in the next next chapter.

Even now, HSR only links Urumqi to Lanzhou of Gansu Province, we'll have to wait for the rest section between Lanzhou and Xi'an of Shaanxi Province. Then It will cut down the time within 20 hours from Beijing to Urumqi(now32-39hours/3300km), but I'm sure the CRH sleeper will be very pricey. It'll be more sensible to start a Silk Road journey from the official start, Xi'an, then Lanzhou-Zhangye-Jiayuguan(Great Wall's west end)-Dunhuang（Mogao Caves)-Xinjiang

Where have u been?

the Tibetan part of Sichuan, near Huanglong & Jiuzhaigou....i think there was a time it reached over 5000 m. i almost vomited and suffered from severe headache & difficult breathing, ....don't know if i could ever make it to Tibet someday, maybe it's because i live right next to sea level in South?

Northern Sichuan is ok since there are enough trees and grassland, so is Lhasa.

Gansu Province is famous for different styles of noodle.
So cheap(8yuan=$1.3)....And they called it small plate.
I fully recovered from altitude sickness!!!

The next day before boarding my next train, a short visit Jiayu Pass, the first pass of the west end of Great Wall. Jiayu Pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mr. Soldier was writing my passport

With my name on the passport, I could legally proceed with my silk road adventure!

These fishing cormorant ... they eat fish first,then human eat next ... so disgusting~!

They are birds. So I don't feel disgusting. If an animal eat it firstly, vomit my belly out.

Jiayuguan City to Dunhuang City
From Jiayuguan, I chose a train to Liuyuan Station then transfer to a bus instead of taking a direct train to Dunhuang, a major stop along ancient Silk Road. In that case, I would experience G215 National Highway, along which one of the world's biggest wind farms is locate.

Jiayuguan Railway Station

Lanzhou-Xinjiang HSR under construction on the Gobi Desert (now in operation)

Liuyuan Railway Station, Liuyuan Town

G215 National Highway(A brand new G3011 Expressway now in use)

G3011 Expressway(online resource), Liuyuan-Golmud(Qinghai Province)

Wind Farm!!! Mobile phone photos could hardly convey its gigantic magnitude.

How long was it? I heard was hundreds of kilometer long. It is true?

Btw, Jiayuguan was featured in National Geographic around 16:52.

Soldier writing passport is new for me.

It is said to be the biggest, but hundreds of kilometre is maybe exaggerating, or it means one after one in a row?? And it is still growing.

I have AIDS. Acute Income Deficiency Syndrome. Blessing of wealth wasn't in my favor. I'm afraid the trip to China must wait.

A Mitsubishi Pajero driving on a Chinese highway. Nice.

Oops, it's not a highway, technically

Then I think you'd better have the real one

NG? U mean the TV channel?

i thought you've covered that part of Sichuan?
mind you guys the Huanglong travel include a 4~5 hrs trip on foot (3100~3800m above sea level). it's not easy. there are oxygen stations along the travel path.
