Cos one of the 3 Aunties (whom I went shopping with at Jiayuguan City) broke her shoes, our Jiayuguan Chinese Tour Guide Xiao Ma had to bring her to buy shoes & of course Shopaholic I tagged along with them!!

There was a whole long stretch of Shops selling mostly Sports Shoes (since Auntie wanted a pair of Sports Shoes!!), & some clothings Shops where I was hoping to get some nice Chinese clothes but found nothing pretty!!

And cos we were only given a very short shopping time, we’re now back here at Jiayuguan Chang Cheng Hotel (with a very pleased happy Auntie with her new & very cheap Sports Shoes!!), but surprisingly empty-handed Me hahaa………….
