While in Dunhuang, our driver took us to a nice restaurant with complementary fresh grapes (picked right off the vine). Yummie...after having a late lunch we went to the "Dunhuang Folk-custom Museum"
"Dunhuang Folk-custom Museum: Occupying an area of 10mu [I'm not sure what that means] and building area over 4,300m2, the museum, a manor type museum representing folk customs in teh northwest of China, is located in the Cresent Lake Scenic Spot. Adopting a traditional architectural structure in fortress style, frequently seen quadrangle folk house can prevent sand, guard against theft and defense bandits. The architecture and exhibits display modern lift style in the west of Yellow River along the Silk Road.

[Note: I'm not translating anything, this is how the "Tourist Map" is written.]
The "upsale" came during horse back riding... Best Upsale to date! We basically tripled the time and distance of the ride; including several scenic stops.
