During this half-way trip, we were very casual about food and accommodation. We didn’t make any reservations in advance. We all made impromptu decisions while walking. Everyone has different requirements for food and accommodation, and the experience will be different.

 

One of the three of us is a vegetarian, one doesn't eat mutton, and the other wants to try everything. Most of the restaurants in the northwest serve beef, mutton, and donkey meat. Vegetarians can eat various meat-related products, and those who don't eat mutton can eat donkey meat. There is no big problem with diet. The Lord wants us to be really happy, and whatever we feel is okay.

 

When I was in Guazhou County, I asked a guy at the front desk what you usually eat, and he said, eat at home. I asked again, what do you go out to eat? He said, Ramen.

 

In Dunhuang. We walked to have breakfast in the morning. Boss Bu had the famous local Populus euphratica cake, and Xiaoyu and I had beef noodles without any beef.

 

Make a reservation online in advance to visit the Mogao Grottoes. I went in and followed the explanations all the way through, but I didn't have much of an impression. When you enter the cave, you will feel cool and cool. Listening to the professional explanation of the guide, you can admire the wisdom and exquisite skills of the ancients. I also applaud those who protected these murals. The preservation of these murals represents spiritual civilization and has nothing to do with religious beliefs.

 

There are always many people visiting the Mogao Grottoes, whether on holidays or in ordinary times.

 

I went out and bought a few books, refrigerator magnets, postcards and a picture album about murals.

 

It was already past 4pm when we left Mogao Grottoes. We returned to Dunhuang City and looked for a coffee shop, and found one. The quality was average. Food is average. We went out to eat at the night market that was about to open.

 

Passing by a large night market stall to find a car, we saw the waiter and chef having dinner. The enthusiastic uncle invited us to have dinner with him. These moments when we feel the kindness of others are often the moments when we deserve this kindness.

 

We are still blooming in the vast world. Boss Bu and Xiaoyu went to watch "Seeing Dunhuang Again", and I walked back to the hotel.
