Dunhuang · Day Trip
The western gate of the Silk Road - the lonely pass of the farewell poems, with the West Thousand Buddha Caves on the road.
Morning drive 70 km southwest to the western gate - the pass of the Tang farewell poems, now a lone beacon in the desert.
Afternoon at the smaller sister of Mogao - early murals in the cliff caves, far quieter than the great gallery.
The return through the Gobi light - the dunes and the mirages of the classic Silk Road road.
