 Sheep skin float... used in olden days to cross the river...





 A very common scene in China... dancing in public


 Zhongsan bridge...the first bridge built over yellow river






 
Yong Lin, whom I met at Phuntshok place hosted me in Lanzhou with his friend who took turns to show me around the city. Yong Lin even waited for me the day before in Linxia to buy me lunch at a fancy restaurant with a bunch of friends and came to pick me at on his friend's bike even though I've arrived late at night

 Melons season

 Lanzhou is famous for its Beef lamian and this... is my breakfast

 A cooling noodle eaten in the summer with sourish soup base - Jiang Shui Mian











 Watermelons





 Lost pup?










Overturn truck... driving too fast!



KFC? KFD? 

 No cars because the road was block off for road works ahead... I just decided to go ahead and not take diversion


My name on the shop front... didn't know I opened a shop here


27km to Xian!
 Xian wasn't part of my plan but because of a new friend I met in Xining... I decided to change my plan and pay her a visit.
