It is almost a week since we took this road to go to stay at the Ikh Nart Nature Reserve in the NE part of the Gobi Desert. As you can see the road is quite good at this point, in fact we drove for almost 3 hrs on tarmac, which is a first for us! Most of the road journeys we have done in previous years have been on the dirt tracks, very bumpy ones too! We drove to a town called Choir, the rarmca came to an end very soon afterwards. A new road is under construction meanwhile the road is dirt and sand. On the way back we saw one very large truck deep in a 'wash' of deep sand. We got through it with 4WD. It is amazing to think that goods transported by road from China have to negotiate hundreds of miles of this terrain. Many goods come in by train though.
