Scene 34

Our 2008 China Eclipse Trip - Page 34

City of Jiayuguan

Tue, July 29 Take time this morning to pack an overnight bag to take with you for tonight's hotel stay. The remainder of your luggage will be left secured in your train compartment.

Upon arrival in Jiayuguan, we will check in to our hotel and have lunch. This afternoon, we will tour the well-known Jiayuguan Pass, the western end of the Great Wall of China. This was the last fortress for traders heading west, and a welcome sight for those coming from the east out of the desert. We will return to Jiayuguan this evening for dinner at the hotel. Overnight: Jiayuguan Hotel
