Our group marched between the endless yellow desert and the desolate and decadent Gobi, rode horses and whips, and galloped all the way along the western route of Qinghai-Tibet from the famous salt lake chaka to the historical and cultural town of Dulan, where there are many ancient tombs and ancient ruins scattered scattered on the vast and endless grasslands of Dulan.
