I completed the last day's journey in the Qilian Mountains. Just before it got dark, I drove back to Xining with a friend. ✨ Along the way, I saw the Qilian Mountain grassland again. Under the setting sun, the grassland was draped in orange light, Even more beautiful than during the day. I greedily gazed at the scenery outside the window, Sheep, grasslands, snow-capped mountains. I unconsciously pressed the camera shutter, Click, click, Trying to capture this last light. 🚗 We headed east, The sun set in our rearview mirror. The twilight gradually faded, We left the grassland at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, Making a wish to come back again.
