4.50am - I woke up and packed my bag. Knowing that we wouldn't be having breakfast till much later (the shops don't open early in the rurals), I made myself a cup of coffee and have a snack bar to give me energy.
5.15am - Met up with Mr Shi and Pema and drove our way out of a sleeping Jyekundo in darkness.
Sun rising over the tibetan plains
The sun peering out over the mountains
Crossing the bridge into Domda
Stop for breakfast at the only restaurant open at 7.50am
On our way again after a nice big bowl of vermicelli with mutton and bread, washed down with salted tea.
View of a river meandering into the distance
Highway 214 to Xining
An eagle watches over at Da Ye Ma Ling mountain pass. Elevation 4326m.
An ealge's nest along the road
Grazing to clear blue skies and waters
The famous Huang He Luo Li - in its natural form
And when cooked in hot pot
Mr Shi's treat at Mato!
Road block for almost an hour
Two lanes become none
Dark clouds gather around Heka en-route to Xining
Rain is imminent
Snaking up the hills at Heka
Speeding our way into Xining
Making our way on the Xi Dao Yi Ji (West Way No One)
We arrive at Xining at 6.30pm, after driving for about 12 hours and for more than 800km. We returned to the Overseas Chinese Building where I would stay for the next few days before my journey to Lhasa. I bought Mr Shi and Pema dinner and had a taste of "Si Lu Hua Luo" - a 45% alcohol that taste like vodka.
Cheers to a successful expedition to the source!
