ack at the small guesthouse in Shun De, I was brushing my teeth by the sink, pondering where to go later and shed those earthy blues.Just then."Slap!" I got a heavy smack on my butt from behind.I was...Whether it was the bean sprouts or not, the camel caravan made it through the night safely until dawn. After packing up their belongings, the group continued deeper into Alashan under the guidance of their leader.

As we walked farther and farther, gradually, I realized the sand under my feet was getting thicker.
