Visiting Jiu Yu Luminous Cup (Yeguan Bei) Factory at Jiayuguan located in the Gobi Desert in Western China & Getting Myself a Handsome Emperor’s Luminous Wine Cup Souvenir made of Jade from Qilianshan Mountain & Gobi Desert Weathered-Stone Artworks

It’s darkness just as we enter Jiu Yu Luminous Cup (Yeguan Bei) Factory cos there’s just been an electric circuit breakdown here!!

Unfortunately, we miss out on seeing how the Luminous Cup (Yeguan Bei) is manually made (with machines) cos the Workshop’s closed today in Jiu Yu Luminous Cup Factory cos of the unstable electricity supply…………..

Here’re some Luminous (Yeguan) Dragon Ornaments :

Such beautiful Chinese Mandarins & Grapes Fruits Stall where Tour mates of ours start buying again, as usual…………

Ahahha, fruits along the Silk Road in China are abundant & so cheap that our Tour mates never stop buying them whenever we see Fruits Stalls – but for me & my brother-in-law, we’re very cautious not to eat too much but just try a little of each cos my Mom & Dad had told us about not eating too much fruits in China cos they’re mostly heaty (except for Water Melons!!), & will make us sick during our long tiring journey!!

Also, Mom & Dad had cautioned us not to eat fruits when drinking Chinese Tea cos that’ll upset our tummies!! And so far our Chinese Tour Guides have also warned us since coming on this Mysterious Silk Road with Deluxe Oriental Express Train Tour here in China…………….

Nevertheless, I don quite miss eating too much of these Chinese fruits, but rather I enjoy snaping pics of these so-fresh looking real attractive Chinese beauties……………

Well, it’s now time to leave Jiu Yu Luminous Cup (Yeguan Bei) Factory here at Jiayuguan located in the Gobi Desert in the Silk Road of China, & I’m glad that I get to see the real genuine Yeguan Bei here, other than all the times only seeing it on Chinese Kung Fu movies!!

Best of all, it’s really cool that I manage to get myself a real handsome Emperor’s Luminous Wine Cup (Yeguan Bei) made of Jade from the nearby Qilianshan Mountain, & Gobi Desert Weathered-Stone Artworks to add to my World Souvenirs Collection heheh!!

   Hello Jen, thank you very much – but I’m so sorry that I don quite rememeber how much I paid for the Jiu Yu Luminous Cup (Yeguan Bei), but it should be around 100 RMB or less.

   You’re most welcome Lawrence
   Am happy & excited that you’re going on the mysterious Silk Road of China Trip in June, & with China Express too
   You’ll be faced with good enough cultural experiences & bring home with you loads of amazing memories
   As for your stay & ride in the Deluxe Orient Express Train’s small cabin ( http://www.janetong.com/travelling/a-peek-inside-oriental-express-the-deluxe-express-train-travelling-on-the-silk-road-in-china-day-3) – well, try not think of it as ROUGH at all, but rather ENJOY yourself taking in the beautiful sights & sounds of your surroundings along the deserts
   Watch out for the most lovely Sunrise too – get ready your camera!!!
   CHEERS & have a jolly great Trip!!

   Dear Jen,

   Just wana correct the cost of my Luminous Cup (or Yeguan Bei) which I replied you in Oct 09 – it should actually be 200RMB as I recall now (http://www.janetong.com/travelling/exploring-beautiful-ghost-city-also-known-as-wind-city-located-at-northwest-edge-of-zhungarian-basin-northeast-of-kelamayi-city-along-mysterious-silk-road-of-china/comment-page-1#comment-2817)

   Sorry for the mistake
