After having a very good sleep at the Mongolian yurt,morning wake-up is hard with all the usual packing.The resort boss Mr Liu and his staff already came to our yurt ready with his digital camera to bid us farewell.We indeed felt like VIP to them .Back on the route s201 , it was hills after hills for the very 1st 20km at highest peak 1724m,but it was gradual and I can manage with my 2nd chainring,furthermore there was a strong tailwind to push us.Weather is hot at 34C but hardly sweat unlike in Malaysia. Local graveyards of Buddhist and Christian can be seen only on our lefthand side hill slope and on righthand side is the double track railway lines.Goodbye to NingXia as we entered Gangsu Province at a town called Yingpanshui.We decidd to ride further to Shanshawo to stay as the time is still too early.Shanshawo,a very small village town,we can't find in GPS,Goggle,or any of our maps.From the info gathered , the next 2 days to WuWei will be tough and moutainous.How tough is tough? We will see....
