Desert oases: Hami and Turpan
The bus ride from Dunhuang to Hami was the most gruesome of our China trip - 6 hours of breathing dust and rattling our bones on unpaved desert roads. Reaching Hami City, a.k.a. Kumul, felt very much like reaching an oasis. We were truly sorry for the original Silk Road travellers who had to live through the ordeal on camels to boot. Hami and Turpan are oases in the Turpan Depression, a dust bowl that is the third lowest exposed place on earth (after the Dead Sea and ...

... ch). Die ersten drei Tage waren geprägt von absolut eintö***** Steinwüste, ab und zu mal ein Dorf oder sogar eine Kleinstadt aber wunderbaren Strassen. Abwechselnd im zehn Kilometer-Takt haben wir uns im Winschatten abgewechselt, wobei es Martin und Sybille immer am meisten ...

The taxi driver who drops us off at the northern end of the town tells us there is a police checkpoint ...
Dunhuang-Hami
... only a couple of Ks to a nice shady spot in an unofficial carpark opposite some remote Grottos for a billy boil and a cuppa. It was pretty rough going today with a well worn road and some less than generous speed limits, not to mention roadworks. The push to join the country up with motorways is unrelenting and we suffered the sight of a new sealed road almost completed (to form the dual carriageway) A couple of weeks, a month ... if only. A highlight was being ...
