TGM. bOrder crossing 4. Bameizhen & sn0wman

30/3/2012 Update. Bameizhen & sn0wman
We left Tagong at noon today, wishing each other safe journey. All of them came down from Danba and towards next destination Xinduqiao but only us are doing the other way round, going up. The map show about 170km reaching Danba and we always assume the "highway" condition is just like ours back home and the drive should not take more than 3 hours, but we were wrong. The first 70km were still fine although the two lane highway allowing only one car moving to each directions, the rest were in maintenance condition.





Can't descript more the view as the pictures says it all. In fact it reminds us of Mongolia. A long Tagong grass land towards Bameizhen with average above sea level 3500m. Children always have much question why our 4 seasons all the same whole long year. All the knowledge knowing of snow only came by books, tv or pictures and in fact both of us had not experience as well. This is also partly the reason we choose to visit during winter. Everyone were excited to build our very first snowman. We were expecting light snow in this November timing, unfortunately the strange weather it came in earlier last month October and stop. Although it wash't snowing but found a big spot cover with ice when we passes by Bameizhen.










And it has become our stage, no age boundaries. Throw all you can!











We drove a side very long river all the way to Danba. Locals name it Yak River (犁牛 / 犁牛河). It is state came  down from Yala Snow mountain (雅拉雪山 Yǎ lā xuě shān) and Tibetan call it Eastern White Yak (夏学雅拉嘎波 xià xué yǎ lā gá bō). And we reached Danba in the evening around 5.30pm.


short break. Fresh air and listen to birds singing.
