(Airdate: August 28, 2024) Tianshui is truly a strange town! We’re waiting for the early morning express, and there isn’t a noodle stand in site, but several old ladies have set up basins on the station steps, and they’re waiting for us with towels and thermoses full of hot water. Well, the express heading west finally arrived and rescued us from the
enigma of Tianshui. Or perhaps “rescued” isn’t the right word….
