Long ago, Marco Polo rode a camel along the southern edge of this desert to reach the Central Plains; the journey took several years to complete.

一个周末把你大部分视频都看了。太喜欢这种无自拍，无对白，无音乐的视频了。感谢。

I also say Welcome back. This was another excellent video from you of a journey that inspires us to follow your adventures both on video and in reality. We have watched this railway being constructed and hopefully we will do the same lap next year. We arrive in China in 4 days to begin our epic adventure and thanks to your earlier videos we are taking the train from Xining to Lhasa and travelling to EBC. We are so inspired by your travels. Please keep them coming. Informative, educational and thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Hank.

What a great trip. Making a loop train trip around the desert. Also it's great to mention some cultural activity every stopping city along the route.

So glad to see you back! Another fascinating video too. The 'Mars' like scenery looked amazing and so did the sudden flashes of green in the desert. Looking forward to your next adventure. I finally get to enjoy Chinese trains again in two weeks too!
