This is the last stop of the Qinghai-Gansu trip

After the Qilian Mountains and Zhuoer Mountain, we return from the Hexi Corridor to the Qinghai Plateau and reach the starting point. On the way, we drove deep into the Qilian Mountains for 40 kilometers, where the barley was fully ripe and the earth looked like an interwoven painting. Near the viewing platform of Zhuoer Mountain, there is a place where local Hui people charge for horse riding. The price for horse riding up the mountain is 80 yuan per person, which can be bargained. There is an old man in the pasture who came to our car and asked us with sincere eyes if we wanted to ride a horse. Because of the rush of time, we didn't go in, we just took some photos nearby. If I come again next time, I should go to the front of Zhuoer Mountain and take a good look at this beautiful 'Eastern Switzerland'. Down the mountain, near noon, we stopped at the middle of Ladong River Bridge and saw an old Hui man feeding cattle. So we tentatively asked if we could have some boiling water for instant noodles. As a result, the old man warmly invited us into his sunny courtyard for instant noodles. Lunch was in the courtyard with the old man, his wife, his son, and his granddaughter who came back from university in Xinjiang. It was a wonderful feeling. The people we met along the way in Qinghai were really simple and kind. Well, goodbye to the Qinghai-Gansu trip! Zhuoer Mountain
