丝绸之路的旅程骑骆驼是不可或缺的，我这个古稀人物，那可缺席。两小时的旅程包括在沙漠上骑骆驼、拍照、登上沙漠巅峰、坐滑板从巅峰滑下山坡，再骑骆驼绕山坡一圈。在哪炎热的天气，如果没有气力，可真受不了近40度的炎热天气啊！
两天前已经感觉过了徒步走沙漠上山坡，只是短短一百多米高的山坡，就已经让我们气喘嘘嘘。更添紧张气氛的是我们还骑上三轮电单爬山车，回绕山坡驱上高处看日落，那一段路程只可比拟在F 1跑道飙车，让我们心惊胆跳，终于抵达终点，才感觉非常过瘾。
Our China Silk Road journey was the high light of this trip to Xin Jiang province. Just imagine how excited it is to face a vast desert full of sand and nothing but sand. During the journey, l enjoyed most was to experience the three wheel scrambler ride on the desert slope driven by this young rider, an unlicensed racer who almost make me and my wife's hearts pop out of our mouth. I can only compare it on the F1 race track driven by a young unlicensed racer on a three wheel scrambler. But the sunset on top of the desert peak was most fascinating of all. The feeling of the sand under our feet was another crazy feeling which l can't find suitable words to describe. It was a cool feeling that gave your feet a soothing feeling while your feet slowly sink into the fine sand. Sorry, it was evening then at 9.00 pm. If it is at noon just imagine how hot the sand would be, which is at least over 40 degrees above the normal temperature. Another excitement was to go on a camel ride round the desert slope. It was a fantastic scenery with over 500 camels waiting to cart the passengers in a group of five each team with one leader followed by four others. It was a 'follow the leader rule', that is if the leader stop or kneel down, the rest must follow. But mine you, don't make your camel angry, it will spit on you. I saw an incident myself. Here are a few snap shots taken at the Kumtag Desert Resort.
