Qinghai : Not yet Tibet, Not quite Singapore

Woo peeps! I'm back from the roof of the world, 青藏高原 or Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. It was an incredible experience, every bit of it! U get an idea of a super isolated culture and religion (Tibetan Buddhism), taste their incredibly gross ingredient (酥油, or goat fermented milk) which they add to food and tea, smell China's incredibly backward sai kangs (toilet) and breathe the 60%-of-SG-O2-level air. All in all, there's too many things to write so I will summarise. Instead of a lengthy wordy diary, I just post the pics and u enjoy while i browse through the photos.


On the skies above China Mainland, I must add the stupidly small and cramp China Airlines A319 is made to ferry hobbits around.


Qinghai Arrival, Tu Tribe Welcome and tts my mom! Btw the Tu tribe are really $$suckers, everything also want us to pay pay and pay.



Qinghai was pretty boring and it was just a transit stop for us to acclimatise. On the way to the train station to Tibet and across the Gobi Desert, we met SNOW! It was sort of a snowstorm! Snow in background and Desert in foreground, duuuuu!


Btw tt's my dad teaching us to eat free ice-kachang in the snow.
