"Can you add more people?" Last night, when I was about to fall asleep, I saw our staff asking in the group, and he said that there were still 2 days to go to the group to cross the trip. "If you can put it in," I thought the intended team members were just asking, but I didn't expect that the list had been handed in near the early hours of the morning. It seems that as long as you think, it is not too late to leave.
Before there were always some tourists who said that they must participate in which issue, when we were still a week away from the start of the group to contact them, some people directly ignored our reminders, and another part said that the time was too tight, there was nothing to prepare, next time. Although the team members only need to bring regular travel items to Dunhuang to assemble, the rest of us will be ready, but they still "politely" let us not have the courage to continue talking.
What happened last night reminds me of a team member we met last August. When we began to deny him, he was trying to prove that I was late in the day, but it was too late!
When the epidemic broke out in Xinjiang in July last year, the members of the Lop Nur Crossing Regiment who had already registered and intended to register for August have retreated. Although we try our best to explain that we are going to no man's land, do not communicate with others, there is no checkpoint, we will not see you enter Xinjiang and be arrested and isolated, and there is no signal in the no-man's land, and there will be no traces of Xinjiang's itinerary after coming out. However, many players have special work and are more cautious, or choose to say goodbye to us. Even 2 days before departure, there are self-driving team members who quit. The withdrawal of these two self-driving team members made our not-so-lively team even more deserted.
On the day of departure of the team, according to the custom, we had to take a group photo at the Xuanzang Road Monument, and we shared the group photo with the circle of friends, when Dahe called and said, "You are leaving, I am going to Golmud, can I catch up with you?" "Of course I can't catch up, but he says he wants to try.
Dahe contacted me 4 days before the departure of the team, when he was in Ranwu Lake, he said that he had a dream of crossing no man's land, but he saw our contact information, he still had to go to Lhasa, and then he went to chase our team. To be honest, I didn't take his words to heart, because I felt that no one would carry out such an unreliable plan.
The departure time of our team is set to depart at 8:30 a.m. on the 9th, and at 11:00 p.m. on the 8th, Dahe suddenly sent me a WeChat message saying that he had opened for 18 hours and finally arrived in Golmud, and he had to take a break first, and if he woke up tomorrow morning, he would have come to our team early. At 10 o'clock in the morning of the 9th, he said that he woke up, is it too late to go? Golmud went to Dunhuang for nearly 6 and a half hours, and I once again refused him. Unexpectedly, he didn't have a dead heart, and he actually remembered the way: he could meet at the lower road point of the large army into the no-man's land. And we could send another car from Dunhuang to pick him up or have a colleague in the large army wait for him at the next road point. I thought about it for a while, it was really feasible, as long as we walked an extra hour or two this evening, we would be able to send the big river and them to meet with the big troops, and the team could continue to walk normally. Because there was an increase in one more vehicle, fuel and supplies, we sent a driver from the Dunhuang base to pull the supplies and drive an off-road vehicle to the lower road point and meet them in the big river, and then send them in to meet with the big troops.
Because it took some time to procure supplies, by the time our staff went to the lower road point, they had been waiting for 20 minutes in Dahe. In other words, this is the latest team member to register since we traveled. At eight o'clock that night, dahe they caught up with the team members who had just eaten, and began their own journey through the no-man's land.
After these two events, I am even more convinced that no man's land travel is not far away from us, and as long as you want, time will come.
So insert an advertisement, this year's no man's land crossing there is a small number of group periods, interested can contact us.
