This morning wake up feeling a lot better after having breakfast from yesterday cooked rice.Started 9.am continue climbing for 10km then follow up with a few roller coaster rides beautiful downhills.Arrived Ulugqat at 1pm for lunch ordered "Lagman" pulling noodles with beef and vege cooked in spicy soup.At 55km mark,the sky started roaring with dark cloud,a thunderstorm looks likely,we stop at a cave-like shelter and we thought we might have to camp here if the weather is bad.We rested for abt 1/2 hour and the sky is clear.so ride continues until this unexpected small town not on map - Chiqansheng,we were shown to a tourist yurt but the price is too high 300yuan scared us away,we finally settled in a nice campsite near a river abt 1/2 km from the town.
