All I wanted was some Western food.
According to Google, Jiayuguan has two pizza places. I walked to the first one, but couldn’t find it. I walked to the second one, but couldn’t find it either. I decided if there wasn’t pizza, then a burger would have to do. Google said there was a place called Donkey Burger. There was a non-zero chance that they actually served burgers made out of donkey (there’s a place in Shanghai that sells cured donkey meat sandwiches), but I decided to risk it. Took a cab. Couldn’t find it.
I was in an unfamiliar part of town, but I found a reasonably newish looking hotel, but when I went in I was told that they don’t have a restaurant.
I had seen some sushi at a supermarket near my hotel. I took a cab there, but the sushi looked…unpalatable.
I gave up and went to the KFC next door.
