The motorbike tour to Shnagri-la has been finished for a long time. But too many work to do in past three months.
It's a happy tour, with good team leader, good guide, and good group member...and also a good route. It's really very interesting. I saw many Tibetan houses, they are very different from the houses we usually see in the cities, they are quiet, peaceful and also beautiful. And Tibetan people are hospitallity, we enjoyed the Tibetan food, as the Tibetan tea, yak meat, fungus and many other delicious food.
En route, we saw many Tibetan rode the motorbike, they said the motorbike is much conveniet than the car, for most of the road they will pass by is the moutain road, sometimes the road condition is not that good and the way is too long...so the motorbike is the best choice.
And we aslo saw the horse team, people here always using the horse to deliver the goods or other things, it's the main transportation way and cheap and convenient.
After leaving the Kham area in Sichuan, we went to Yunnan province, there are many famous beauty spots, such as Lijiang, Lugu Lake, Sifang Street, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Tiger Leeping Gorge, all these beauty spots were in our itinerary.
I want to show you the photoes of this trip, want to share my happiness with you!
