The highlight of yesterday’s long drive was restored gompa in Kangding with the great view of the town squeezed in the canyon. Then we climbed to the Zheduo mountain pass 4298 m high, covered by snow. It was still snowing there and sorry, visibility was poor…. On the pass there is a chorten (see picture) and vertical stone confirming the altitude. In the little, new pavilion you can buy drinks and souvenirs.
After a night in Xinduxiao (poor hotel and poor Chinese breakfast) spent on the level 3400 m today we will go northwest – to Tagong Monastery and to the Jiaju Tibetan Village – it is on the list of tourist wonders of China. I pray for the sunny weather, but on this altitude it is very changeable.. Let’s hope!
