We loved our trip to Xianjiang Province in western China in October.Sort of an extension of the Gobi, it was enormous, endless desert and countless camels. We saw remains of towns that served as stopping places for caravans during the hundreds of years of trading between East and West.
The camels took us up to the base of dunes where we climbed a wooden stairway and then slid down on small sleds.
It was China's Mid-Autumn Festival so we had a school holiday. There were almost no other foreigners. Most of the tourists were Chinese, taking advantage of their vacation.
