Carpe Diem #1362 Gansu (Northern route)

In imperial times, Gansu was an important strategic outpost and communications link for the Chinese empire, as the Hexi Corridor runs along the “neck” of the province. Hexi Corridor or Gansu Corridor refers to the historical route in Gansu province of China. Along the Silk Road, Gansu was an economically important province, as well as a cultural transmission path by which Buddhism entered the province.

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁
