Moving from Lanzhou to Dunhuang.

From Lanzhou, I will travel to Dunhuang on an overnight train called the "Dunhuang."
It seems to be a new car, so it is clean and comfortable.



The female staff members are also very enthusiastic.



I tried putting the top part of the "Kenza" [bed] on top, but it's quite narrow because it's on top of a three-tiered bunk bed (laugh).
Even so, it's enough for sleeping.

The snoring of the person on the middle tier was loud, but I couldn't hear anything after putting in earplugs.
The effect of the earplugs is amazing.



There is also a dining car.
It is expensive, so I didn't eat there.



And the night deepens.
Even after 7:30 Beijing time, the sky is still bright.
It seems that China is so wide from east to west that there is a considerable difference in the time when the sun sets.



And then, in the morning.
Finally, we arrived in Dunhuang.



The morning sun is beautiful.
It's good weather.



The altitude of Dunhuang seems to be 1250 meters.

The accommodation is "7 Days Inn Dunhuang Night Fair Branch."
Because it is unknown how long it will take to obtain a visa, I will stay for 6 nights with a buffer.
It is a single room with a double bed, and the price is 103 yuan (approximately 2010 yen) per night.

To avoid any trouble during the visa application process, such as being unable to stay at a hotel that does not allow foreigners, I chose a hotel chain that operates throughout China.


Meisasha Mountain and Gekiga Spring.

I went to Narizuyama and Tsukiyoizumi, which are 5km south of the town.

And before that, I had a meal near my house. I ate something like a stir-fried pork belly rice bowl. It cost 15 yuan (about 235 yen).

Dunhuang Night Market.

■Restaurants
The prices of food at the Dunhuang Night Market are often 2 to 5 times the market price, so it is better not to eat there.
There are also many normal restaurants a little away from the night market, so it is better to eat at those places.

■Supermarkets
Items sold at supermarkets, such as water, are often 20% to 50% more expensive, which is relatively normal for a tourist destination.In the end, I ended up going to this Lanzhou ramen shop, which is a few minutes' walk from the night market (laugh).
It costs 6 yuan (about 120 yen).I end up eating it many times.I ate something like a meat bun. 10 yuan (approximately 195 yen).
This store is not very good.Here, in Dunhuang, it is still dim even at 9 o'clock.
9 o'clock Beijing time is still evening in Dunhuang.I searched for various restaurants, but in the end, I ended up going to another Lanzhou ramen shop.
This one also costs 6 yuan (about 120 yen).I'm going to try eating a meat skewer. 3 yuan (about 59 yen).
The spices are too strong...Copies of Dunhuang murals are being sold. They cost around 50 yuan (approximately 980 yen) each. I'm not buying them.Various souvenirs are being sold.I tried buying something like a mandarin orange. It's probably close to a ponkan.
One piece cost 1.2 yuan (about 24 yen).I usually eat Lanzhou ramen, so this time I decided to try a restaurant inside the night market.↑ However, this was a big failure. It costs 30 yuan (about 590 yen), but there's only a little bit of meat and it's mostly vegetables. What is this?

I took a small bite and immediately left the store. Then, I went to a set meal restaurant near the hotel I stayed at and ordered a stir-fried pork with noodles (15 yuan, about 290 yen).

They served a bowl with about three times more meat than the previous one, and the price was half. This is normal. The prices at Dunhuang Night Market are outrageous.On another day, I took a walk again.Afterwards, the tour ended at 11:30, and since regular restaurants were closed, I reluctantly came to the night market for dinner, but it was still disappointing.

First, the beef ramen costs 12 yuan (approximately 235 yen). If you go to a regular restaurant near the night market during the day, it costs only 6 yuan. This is understandable because it's nighttime, but it seems like they're not making it in the store; it might be from a different ramen shop, and someone else brought it in a container. I wanted to try the taste of this store, but it was underwhelming.

Vegetable stir-fries, which usually cost around 15-20 yuan (290-580 yen) in regular restaurants, cost over 60 yuan (1170 yen) here. Some items cost over 100 yuan (1960 yen). It's impossible to order these dishes without knowing the quantity and quality, especially since they might only give you "a little bit," as happened the other day. This is different if you're with Chinese people.

Not only that, but when I tried to order just one beef skewer (2 yuan) to taste it, the female shopkeeper made a visibly unpleasant face, so I conveyed that I didn't want it, and she seemed to understand. Perhaps it's common in China to have larger groups, but based on the shopkeeper's expression, I felt like it was "catering to wealthy customers" or "catering to big customers."

As I initially felt, the discomfort I have with the night market will not disappear, no matter how many times I visit.

It's probably better not to go to the night market unless you're in a situation where there are no other options available at night.


China visa extension (renewal).

I went to the Public Security Bureau (police) to renew my Chinese visa.
The town of Dunhuang is small, so I walked to the Public Security Bureau.

In addition to my passport, I also brought receipts for the accommodation fees at my place of residence.

When I entered the Public Security Bureau, I was asked a few questions, and then I was told, "Please wait a moment."

I wondered what was happening, and while I was waiting, a woman with a flushed face came over and started talking to the Public Security officer. The Public Security officer seemed to be either angry or giving instructions, and his expression was stern. I had a copy of my passport, so I realized that this woman was probably a hotel staff member. I couldn't understand everything she was saying in Chinese, but it seemed like she was bringing over a laptop and having the woman enter something at the counter, so perhaps she was being scolded for not properly registering the foreign guest, or perhaps the hotel doesn't have a license to accommodate foreigners? However, 7 Days Inn is a chain hotel that is available in many parts of China, and you can book it on booking.com, so I would think they have the necessary licenses. Later, I wasn't kicked out of the hotel, so it was probably just that the registration wasn't done properly.

While I was watching this, another Japanese boy came and started talking to the Public Security officer in English, saying, "I would like to apply for a visa."

The Public Security officer replied, "You entered the country without a visa, so you must leave within 15 days, by [date]." The boy seemed surprised and explained, "Oh, but my departure flight is on [date], which is after that deadline." However, the Public Security officer pointed at me and showed my passport, and said, "He has a visa, so he can extend his stay. You don't have a visa, so you can't get one here. You must leave by [date]." The boy then quietly left. I was watching from the side, and the Public Security officer seemed like a serious person, and it didn't seem like the kind of place where you could bribe someone to get a visa. Before traveling in China for a long time, I had the image of it being a country full of corruption and bribery, but so far I haven't encountered any situations where I had to give a bribe, so I'm actually getting the impression that everyone is working diligently.

However, there is a lot of information that says you can't extend your stay if you enter without a visa, so I wonder if that boy was relying on old travelogues or something? It seems that some people still try to enter without a visa and then try to extend their stay. Indeed, guidebooks often have vague wording like "extensions may not be possible," so it might be a judgment call by each Public Security Bureau, or perhaps the response varies depending on the location. Perhaps the policy changed at some point. In any case, his visa application was rejected. I wonder what he's going to do.

After waiting for a while, I was finally told, "Please take a photo." I said, "I have a photo," but they said that I needed to take a new photo. A hotel staff member guided me to a nearby photo studio, where I had my photo taken, and the staff at that store printed it out and put it on the application form. That's how it works. However, it costs 59 yuan (about 1160 yen)... And, since it's just a visa photo, they should just take it normally, but they tried to set up everything and take a fancy photo.

Mogao Caves

The Mogao Caves seem to require reservations, so I made a reservation for 9:00 AM tomorrow at the reservation center in the city.
It costs 240 yuan (approximately 4700 yen).

A guide is mandatory, and apparently, the guide will open the doors.
It seems there will be a Japanese-speaking guide.

Mr. Li Qiong Memorial Exhibition.

Just outside the area with photography restrictions at the Mogao Caves, there is a memorial exhibition for Mr. Li Qiong.
Apparently, Mr. Li Qiong was a person who was fascinated by the murals of the Mogao Caves and continued to create related works (he is deceased).The original murals in the Mogao Caves are faded, but many works are displayed that suggest what the colors might have been like at that time, which is quite interesting.


White Horse Tower.

Today, I had some free time, so I went to the White Horse Pagoda, which is located outside of Dunhuang city.

And before that, I had something to eat. I tried another Lanzhou ramen.

The noodles seem a little soft.
It's a bit different from the chewy texture. It feels like they were simply overcooked.

In other places, there's usually one person who kneads and stretches the noodles, and another person who cooks them, but here, the same person is doing both, so maybe that's why the noodles became soft.

Even if the noodles are slightly overcooked, the chewy ones are usually fine, but these noodles don't have much chewiness, so they seem to be more susceptible to overcooking.

Even though they look the same, Lanzhou ramen can be quite different.And then, I got off the bus (I think it was number 1) that runs through the city, at the last stop, and walked to the White Horse Pagoda.It feels a little small.

The entrance fee is 15 yuan (approximately 235 yen), so it's probably worth the price.Even so, for a horse to have such a tower built for it, I wonder how much the horse would appreciate it.It was surprisingly close, so I walked back and had lunch.
Stir-fried pork and vegetables rice bowl: 15 yuan (approximately 295 yen).And at night, I ate a small Chinese meal at the edge of the night market.
The side dish cost 18 yuan, and the rice with something like an egg in it cost 2 yuan, for a total of 20 yuan (approximately 390 yen).


Dunhuang Ancient City.

Today, I am participating in a tour that I applied for at the hotel lobby.
It's what's commonly called the "West Course."

The course is as follows:


Dunhuang Ancient City (Dunhuang Movie Set) → Western Thousand Buddha Caves → Yangguan → Yumen Pass → Great Wall of China from the Han Dynasty → Sunset at the Yarlung Geological Park (Devil's City).
It costs 118 yuan (approximately 2300 yen), which is relatively reasonable.

Before departure, I had a filling meal with the reliable Lanzhou Ramen (6 yuan, approximately 120 yen).



The shuttle bus is departing.



First, we arrived at Dunhuang Ancient City.
This was a place that was used as a movie set.
The entrance fee is 40 yuan (approximately 780 yen).



It was well-made for a movie set, and I enjoyed it.


Sei-chibutsu-do.

The bus will next go to Seishi-butsudo.



It seems that there are murals here, as written on the entrance ticket, but in reality, these could not be seen, and only a few "small" murals were visible.



Entrance fee is 30 yuan (approximately 585 yen), and a guide opens the door, which is the same style as Mogao Grottoes.



The numbers of the caves I entered are as follows:
3&4
5
6
7

All of them are mediocre.
Even including all of them, they cannot compare to the worst ones I saw at Mogao Caves.

Moreover, all of them are small.

Because you cannot see them without a guide, I followed the guide's instructions, and the tour ended in only 25 minutes.

↓ These are located along this wall.



Photos from the inside are prohibited.
It seems to be in the same style as the Mogao Caves.

The guidebook says that 17 are open to the public, so if you can only see 4 or 5, it seems like there's no need to go at all.
I can say that with 100% certainty.

This time, it's a tour, so it's within the acceptable range, but if you were to charter a car just to come here and only see this much, you would be extremely dissatisfied.



The purpose of this tour was half to go to this place, but the result was very unsatisfactory.

My actual feeling was, "What is this? Is this all?"


Yōkan

Yangguan was a checkpoint located 70km southwest of Dunhuang.
It is located south of the nearby Yumen Pass.

It is said that there is a song, "After leaving Yangguan, there will be no more companions."
It seems that, in the past, the area beyond here (or Yumen Pass) was considered the true "Western Regions."

Guidebooks describe it as "just some dilapidated stone monuments," but it turns out we arrived at a small theme park. The entrance fee was 50 yuan, plus another 10 yuan for something I didn't quite understand, totaling 60 yuan (approximately 1170 yen).

It seems we have arrived at the "Yangguan Museum." I didn't know such a thing existed. It's not mentioned in the guidebook.To the right, there was a small museum with exhibits.
The left side was under construction.It seems that you can go to the other side by taking a vehicle for 10 yuan round trip, but there is no one at the ticket counter (laugh).
Do they only deal with customers when there are a lot of people?

Since I don't have much time, I decided not to go to the other side.

When I look at the map, it seems that there are various places, not just a simple round trip. There was a small observation platform, so I climbed up to it.And then, I leave Yangguan. I stopped by the cafeteria after leaving Yo-kan, but the prices were high, so I didn't eat there and ate the biscuits I brought with me.


Yumen Pass.

Next, I am heading towards the Tamon Customs. At the following location, I transferred to a slightly larger bus.


And after running for a while, I paid the entrance fee at the following gate.
The ticket seems to be a set of Yumen Pass/Han Dynasty Great Wall (Han Great Wall)/Heikou Fortress for 40 yuan (approximately 780 yen), but I didn't go to Heikou Fortress.

A Chinese person I was talking to said, "I don't need to see that," but after talking to the ticket checker, he seemed hesitant and reluctantly went to buy a ticket. From the situation, it seemed like if you were going beyond the gate without getting off the bus, you had to pay.



And we arrived at the Tamon Pass.

It stands alone in a wide, open space.
The surrounding area is desolate.

I wonder if people used to travel through this area in the past.
Of course, the area around it must have been more developed back then.



There was a small but interesting exhibition there.


The building is large, but only a little more than half of it is being used.
About 1/5 of the building is for exhibits, and 1/5 is for the shops.

However, even though it's in a remote location, the air conditioning inside is working perfectly, which makes me feel that China is developing.


Han Dynasty Great Wall (Han Great Wall).

Next, we are going to the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty (Han Great Wall).
It is already quite deteriorated, and it seems like a ruin that is likely to collapse.


There is a Chinese person who is climbing over the fence and posing on top of the Great Wall, which looks like it is about to collapse and break easily. Please stop. Even from a distance, something that looks like "straw" is exposed and it looks like it could easily break with human force. What are you thinking, climbing up there and posing?



The old man and the young man here are climbing over the fence, and even if they are not climbing on the wall, they are getting on the embankment and looking into the distance. Therefore, tell them to stop.



After a while, a loud voice came from far away, and in response, everyone got off.

That's right. You shouldn't have done that from the beginning.


Dunhuang Yarlung National Geopark.

It is already past 6 o'clock, but in Dunhuang, it is still bright.
The sunset seems to be at 20:55 Beijing time.

China is wide from east to west, so the feeling of night varies greatly depending on the town.

I arrived at the Dunhuang Yardang National Geological Park and paid the entrance fee.
I bought two tickets, one for 50 yuan and one for 70 yuan, totaling 120 yuan (approximately 2340 yen).
Today seems to be a day when I will spend quite a bit of money.

This place is also called the "Devil's City."

Then, I transferred to a bus, but I was very hungry, so I had a light meal.
It cost 15 yuan (approximately 290 yen).
