Golmud, QingHai to DunHuang, GanSu

19 votes

BE ALERT--- A permission from police office if you are NOT Chinese and would like to go to DunHuang, GanSu from Golmud, QingHai province. So far, I don't know if we need to pay for the fee to police office or not as it's Saturday and office is closed...

This morning, we got up very early and tried to catch a morning bus from Golmud to DunHuang; unluckily, lady from ticket office refused to sell the tickets to us as foreingers need a permission from police office to go to DunHuang from Golmud. So we missed the bus and have to stay here 2 more nights and get it by Monday if everything goes well...

Favourite spots:
SiChuan - ChengDu (good food though my stomach was upset by the time I was there) GanSu - Lamgmusi (awesome 3-day horse trekking in grassland)

What's really great:
natural scenery, fresh air, good food and reasonable accomdations

Accommodations:
small town and not much activities here but people are fairly friendly

Hangouts:
haven't been one of them

Restaurants:
mostly muslim meals
