When you top it up with a 3 hours hot ride to collect stuff left behind in the last town, it must be gruelling. Pity there is no logistics solution to the parallel travel of your back up stuff. Or is there? (a solution to save you all the bussing to and fro) 30 kms walking in the dry and hot landscape must be tough on your body.

Be aware you entered the Ningxia huizu ziqu (Ningxia (muslim minority) autonomous region). You should not wonder to see mosques there and you very probably have seen some earlier in Gansu Province. The "spruce" tree should ba a kind of tamarisque. This is the plant which provided the wood which was used to build the Han Dynasty Great Wall. A typical desert and to a certain extent salt resistant plant. Don't miss the temple in the centre of Zhongwei. It is a very nice place. -chinoook The “Neverland” is a mosque.
