After Lanzhou, we took a fast train to Zhangye, located at the heart of the Hexi corridor, which was one of the main west-east axis of the silk road. On a day trip from Zhangye we visit a series of beautiful series of buddhist temples known as Mati Si. The temples are carved on the flanc of a mountain, some of them containing several floors of caves decorated with statues and paintings.
