Jiayuguan is touristy city arising from the fact that it
houses the location of the most western part of the Great wall. This
part of the wall has a large fort built in between two looming mountain
ranges on the east and west, the snow capping the mountains to the
west. After the long visit to the fort, an astronomical entrance fee
and many photo's I head back into town and try out the city culinary
delights. My taxi driver, well knowledgeable about the city's
respectable and not so respectable highlights takes me to one one the
markets and orders me the locally flavoured lamb on a stick.
Take long stroll back to the hotel for an early night.
