Before leaving Dunhuang to fly to Xi’an, the easternmost point of the Silk Road and home again for us, we visited the amazing Buddha, Mogoa Caves, dating from the 6th to the 11th century and had fun in Dunhuang’s night market, still bargaining our way through the shops on all sides. I’m getting pretty good at setting a low, low price (about 20% of whatever is asked for) and then walking away when the proprietor shakes his head “no” only to have him reconsider and follow after me to avoid losing his sale.
