The holy lake of water very blue, with the sun changes, and blue were also different. But the feeling is more beautiful that some of the wrong wood. A great wind, people can not breathe. Lake are hills, the mountains are a small temple that is Ukrainian. Would take a great effort to go up before a trip, then back to the lake can not stand when high winds, then back to accommodation.

9.16 Rada (tel. 7 + water 3 accommodation 30)
Toss too much last night, today a good sleep a bit. Freedom of movement in the morning, in the rough Telecommunications queue for half an hour, to the family telephoned the accident that 9.11 was a case in some schadenfreude, but later on, think about it, boring. Edie give a mobile phone, unreasonable, and some worry.
Together in the afternoon of the soil near the forest wandered beating in the darkness, Kuangpai rolls. Before climbing a hill, then down to the valley like a spring and inviting. This is the only way to hurry the day there is no car, very happy. In fact, really should travel more linger, rather than incessant hurry, but unfortunately time and money are not very good talk.
9.17 Rada (24 + tickets for dinner 400 / 7 stay 30)
Morning to see a moment a sense of great vicissitudes Tuolin Si. And then went to the ancient frame, according to a land of majestic mountains and built the castle. Is very steep, the Peak to climb along the cave to go unassailable fortress. Get up quite hard, and I look around legend Middleton, unsuccessful. The foot of the temple has beautiful murals, etc. Unfortunately, too much destruction, saying that many were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.

Can not contact the edie, and told her to go Yunnan-Tibet line while wearing contacts. Edie way to know fairly well, 16 went to Chengdu, so rest assured that down.
9.19 Shiquanhe - Rutog Bangong wrong (3 + breakfast border fare card 34 + 300 + publicly-funded 300 packages, housing and restaurants Lee 10, fish 15 / person)
Ali first morning of the border brigade to do wrong to ban the public and border card, very well. Then something went wrong, first car was stopped road administration, and find out what what the charges did not pay, toss nearly noon, two drivers Jiaoqian trouble. Then out of the city Pub admit the road again, the fault came back 30 kilometers, wasting more than 1 hours. Results 3 hours of road, we have only to 17:00 Rutog. Lunch, evening classes 6:00 to reach the public more than wrong. Where there is a border check points. So we also found that because of our border card is written, the public and wrong class, we can not go on to follow the same track at 80 km earth rock art sites, today's rotten luck.
Ban is a long, narrow shape of the public wrong, looked relatively small, did not it beautiful wooden wrong, they feel too well. But the lake the wind is small, relatively quiet, we could have sat quietly thinking the lake, I feel fine. I am a man lying in the lake, sitting, walking, thinking, it seems that what is interlinked, and that is not clear.
Li restaurant to eat at night classes to do the public the wrong fish, the fish is very fresh, but the cooks are generally, service attitude is not good, probably because our bargaining reasons and wife to the foot of our faces, even though she was not on the price on the concessions. Hut raised a large dog ferocious armed police, known as dancing, I used a bowl of fish bones and several stars rabbits, only succeeded in touching the ears check it out.

Today take a new path, not back to Shiquanhe, directly to the Salt Lake town, you can save more than 100 kilometers. Pub has never walked this road, I started a bit worried, then prove that such a walk is very good.
Ali North Line monotonous scenery, wilderness, bald mountain. Wild animals, small, and only once saw the ass. However, through a village and saw the most pure of the Tibetans, all dressed in national costumes, very bright, the simplicity of a smile and will not be asking for money to you, just curious looking at us, cars and cameras. Peers are excited about taking pictures, I suddenly do not want to shoot, and could not bear to disturb their serenity.
Sometimes we feel that the Tibetan people live very hard, in fact, they may be far more fortunate than us because they are very fulfilling. Unlike us, busy all day long, but I do not know what in the end in busy.
Drive 340 kilometers down the road to reach Salt Lake. The way a lot of saline-alkali land, white, very flat. We everybody Ashen, listless. Salt Lake Pago town with a similar sheep, are mud houses, like the western United States.

There is a large tent, some occupied, some sell things. While 40% said to change people came, dressed, smiling, walked up and down. Inside, we have become heterogeneous, everyone is looking at me 2. I can only keep a smile, good hard work. Later, also see horse racing. Old Tibetan kids for them, let me take pictures, very interesting, pointing to my camera, that hit me, hit me. I promised to send photos of them all of a sudden my notebook on the multi-several addresses. In fact, conditions should really take a legislation looks like, they are like the camera can not see the finished photos after the disappointment of their facial expressions, so I have some sorry.

Traffic is not bad, at 3 pm arrived Cuoqin, after lunch, before we know the driver would like to go a little way, saying that what is in front of a bikini resort. Do not want to leave, but still hit the road. 18:00 to Damai many so-called bikini is a dirty Tibetan resort hotels, no way, stay there.
