Gradually, vegetation is sparse, and also of the vast mountain dwarf, and dwarf like a foot too wide can be posted endless, but here there are nearly 5 km in altitude. No animals, no plants there is no life without sound, in the eyes can see are yellow: the yellow of the mountain, the yellow road, the yellow dust, yellow house. Suddenly, a Wei blue wash my dry eyes: a big a lake, well clear, good blue, good quiet, the driver said: This is Tibet's second holy lakes - Yamdrok Lake Lake. Driver also deliberately drove into the lake to us complacent holy water, saying that would bring good luck.
Lake Ice Blue Ice blue, the lake of light microwave pan, no people, no sound, no pollution, only near the mountain and its reflection of the lake. Mountain reflection in the lake than in a real mountain but also clearly also have to attract. The hands and feet soaked in cold water, Nongsan a mountain lake, and then close your eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility, imitation suspect to Xanadu. Go-go for half an hour, this piece of ice blue was out of sight in, but forever remain in memory. The road ahead is still a desolate, it is green and wild and fog, when a long road ahead.
Not until the evening before we met a few people, they are Israeli tourists, at this time is very special sensibility, say hello to each other with passion, enthusiasm of the exchange of some information although the language a bit unreasonable, but are a little reluctant to part with as far as possible in conversation for a while.

No night, then the next day came early in the morning Tashilhunpo. Tashilhunpo of Tibet's religious and political and stability also plays a vital role. Drepung monastery was less than the size of some, but as is the row upon row of buildings, although the form of worship of the gods is different from other monasteries, but it is an air of elegant and colorful vivid expression.
Lamas recitation sound very appealing, but it looks cute. The murals here, it is rare to see a colorful and rich in content, I really can be said that great beauty, but also a lot of number.
