    What’s interesting is that China’s railway lines are named according to the starting and ending cities, but the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway is named according to the city and province. It is a very rare naming because it came from the 1950s to 1960s and went through more than ten years of hard work. The construction, with a total length of 1,903 kilometers, was of great significance at the time and was named the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway by Mao Zedong himself.

    Really good video, as always... thank you. Your editing, i.e. with ambient train sounds and without commentary, works really well for the territories that your videos cover.

    I have taken this journey from Lanzhou to Zhangye a dozen times back and forth. It was always a favourite train journey. Like yourself, I always tried to this section in daylight and even went from Chengdu to Zhangye on a hard seat once. I was wondering if you would have a shot of the statue and temple complex, I have always wondered about it too. Looking forward to the next video as it has my favourite part of this route.
