After a breakfast of milk tea, meat and bread sticks it was back out across the dry river bed to the main highway that ran south passing Xiangshawan, the ‘Resonant Sand Gorge’. When I was there several years later a chairlift carried visitors across to the dunes, but in 1997, I had to put on large cloth overboots and physically climb the forty metre high sand walls! Hard work! Beyond however, travel was by camel, the ‘ship of the desert’, across a sea of rolling sand hills. It was so beautiful, I just wishing I had time to go farther across this incredibly peaceful wilderness. Descending back to the river valley was fun - slowly sliding down while creating a deep resonant sound with my feet.
