China, days 30 to 32: Gansu province
Back on the G312 national road, the true silk road itinerary that goes through the Gansu corridor to reach Xinjiang province. At its northern side is the Gobi desert and at its southern side the Qi Lian Shan mountain range. Cycling this region is not really interesting, the landscapes are all the same and my worse enemy is the western wind that is breaking my speed each and every afternoon. Fortunately when the sky is clear I still can take a look at the Qilian Shan south side and make my way through this quite dry region.
