A relatively clear bright start for a change but the temperatures rose rapidly during the morning.
We returned to Dongchanggou for a shot of SY 1470 on the 07:50 passenger to Shenbutong. After another hour it was getting too warm for exhausts and we headed back to Baiyin, passing GKD1A 0206 near Sanyelian with the ore empties. At the west end of Gongsi yard, DF7G 5183 was shunting sulphuric acid tanks.
That was it for Baiyin. After collecting our bags from the hotel, we set off for Lanzhou Airport and a 15 minute early flight MU2415 back to Beijing We stayed at the Capital Airport Hotel for the night and went out for the traditional Beijing Duck to finish the trip off in style. Unfortunately, neither of the taxi drivers we used knew their way round Beijing and we had to direct them to the restaurant (near the Sino-Swiss hotel) and back again.
