Frimpong visits Western China - by Morgan Ommer

Morgan Ommer



Morgan and I took a very enjoyable and adventurous trip, which led us to discover some of the beauties of Western Chine.
We went to Xian, to Jiaohe Ruins, Dunhuang and the Gobi Desert, travelling by plane, by train...and by our own feet!

I’m grateful to my friend Morgan for this extraordinary experience.

All the photos of this gallery were taken by Morgan, of course,
and, please, don’t forget to visit his personal galleries on PBase. You’ll like his work, I’m sure.
