In the train to Lanzhou

Pictures taken from the overcrowded "hard-seats class" coach (the cheapest), during a 22-hours journey along the Yellow River,
from Baotou to Lanzhou (Capital city of the Gansu province). The landscapes vary in a dramatic way, switching from dust bowls
to green valleys within 5 minutes. This gallery is an attempt to present this astonishing diversity.
