The Great wall part 1

We cycled on along small Tibetan and Chinese villages. We past a monastery where people were coming together and visited Milarepa palace.

We cycled out of Gubeikou towards Chengde and further making good daily distances and finding small roads.

After the border from Mongolia to China there was still desert. We enjoyed our last cycling through the Gobi and found some great quiet roads.

Arriving in Hohhot by train Susanne settled into a hostel and went exploring in the city with a mosque, buddhist temple and interesting small markets.
