Silk Route Day 4: Journey to Lanzhou


Today is a relax day with train journey to Lanzhou. We have a late wake up and follow by a street breakfast like Kebab and walk toward the road end of muslim quarter where it is very near the Ancient International Youth Hostel within a short walking distance. We took the metro back to Wulukou station which is the nearest station for the Railway.
We reached 2 hour ahead as there are double screening on the bags and it look easy and not that complicated. There are waiting areas for hard seat and soft sleeper section and the soft sleeper consider like different section for the train. Our train depart at 1:30pm and reach Lanzhou at 8:30pm.
Attached photos is the sample train sleeper and seater for China Railway.



We took a local bus number 1 to the Love Youth Hostel where the hostel surprise us as it actually located at a normal residence apartments where is almost occupied by locals and the cleanliness is not up to standard. Anyway it is just a night before we heading out and it is a good experience with the locals. Atleast the host is quite reasonable and guide us on the tour to Bingling Grottoes.
