In this video I am picking up my fiancee Flo from the airport in Shanghai. Shortly after, we are heading to Dunhuang Desert Oasis in western Gansu Province and explore the outskirts of Taklamakan and Gobi deserts. On Mingsha Mountain we even find a traffic light for camels.
Join us on this adventure through the desert in western China :)

😁😁😁The Owner of this channel, I know that when you are in China, the Communist Party gave you better treatment than ordinary citizens. Chinese women would like to pay money to marry you in order to emigrate. what country are you from ? You quickly tear up your passport, become a Chinese citizen, and change it to a Chinese passport. Only in this way can you reflect your true love for mainland China.

during the National holidays in 2020, I traveled to Dunhuang alone and climbed three or four sand dunes into the depths (almost no man’s land haha), and then spent my 27 birthday on the mostly deserted hill, still remember I only took some apricots and beef jerky as food(or cake lol) there. Like Flo, i reallly enjoyed the desert, and I even ran down from the top of another very steep and high mountain, it was quite fun and a real kick, so I know how Flo felt lol.

Wow, I just finished watching the TV series "Parallel World" (also known as "West Out of the Yumen") starring Bai Yu last month. I was absolutely mesmerized by the breathtaking landscapes featured in the show. The male lead plays an exceptional desert guide, delving into the geography, history, and nature of the Dunhuang desert. That really got me hooked on the place. Then I stumbled upon this video that covers a ton about Dunhuang and its touristy side, stuff I didn't even see in the TV series. It explores so many aspects of Dunhuang, especially its tourist attractions, which weren't shown in the series. The TV series only depicted the remote desert areas, like a no man's land. So I was really surprised to see so many tourists gathered on the sand dunes, having fun and enjoying themselves.

What you see in 15:50 is the concentrated solar power systems that generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight into a receiver. Then the electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat, which drives a heat engine connected to an electrical power generator.

Great video. China has done the right thing by bringing its poor out of extreme poverty and by extension a huge population into the middle class, which could be more than 600million at the moment and still rapidly growing. This gigantic growing middle class in turn fuels demands for everything including internal tourism which drives local economic growth and jobs in the area.

As someone who cherishes solitude and often embarks on solo cycling adventures in remote, uninhabited places, I would never venture to crowded tourist destinations. However, I thoroughly enjoy watching your travel videos . By the way, the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake featured in this video-I've visited them thousands of times, albeit in online games ^_^. Honestly, today marks the first time I've laid eyes on these familiar places in the real world. It's fascinating to see what I once thought was so familiar within the realm of virtual gaming come to life.

I'm now gonna continue learning and speaking unapologetically from now on. I'm from Namibia, lived in Wuhan for about 5 years.
