Day 7 Lhasa - Gyantse

Finally we are leaving Lhasa. After spending so many days in the city I honestly can't wait to get out of here and all the horning. Sometimes really feel like showing the middle finger to the drivers. Seriously.

The road out on a beautiful autumn morning.




Along the way..


Going up to a pass 5000m.

The right way to shoo them off

I wonder how long it takes for them to climb up here.


At one of the lookout. I was scared walking all the way out but the thought that I will only be here once push me to walk out. Scenery wise, it was alright but really high up.


Our first sighting of yamdrok lake.

At the second lookout



At the Lake.


Things to do at the lake. .
Pay 5rmb to take pictures with the Tibetan mastiff or yak (background)


Or BYO big bag of accessories to change and pose to the ipad photographer.


At another pit stop


Me and my furry down jacket

At the Lake, this prc was commenting to his friends ' 真的有哪么冷吗?'。
I felt like replying ' 管你屁事, 老娘来自新加坡, 天天如夏,想怎么穿你管的着.'

But I hold my tongue and walk away because I know I look too local to them.

Sights along the way


If I didn't remember wrongly, that is a glacier.


Best toilet in the world


Like they say, theres always a black sheep in the family.


Another lookout



And when you put them together. .


Finally at our hotel in Gyantse. For such a small town, this hotel is considerable good. Big rooms, decent view, well priced restaurant, clean bed n toilet. Just that I forgot the name.


Gyantse Kumbum


Then we went out for a walk as it was too early for dinner and saw a cobbler. Her shoes was falling apart so the cobbler sew it back for her. $8 sgd per pair. Not cheap sia.



And we walk into a school.



And we were all thinking how lucky the children are..


Pretty path
