6-10/11/11 Ganzi, Litang (English version)

We leave Tagong straight after breakfast. Another day in a bus, another bumpy road - direction Ganzi, northwest corner of Sichuan.
We arrive there late afternoon. Ganzi maybe just another provincial, dusty market town but there is something peculiar about it that makes the place very likeable.
Even though technically it's not Tibetan Autonomous Region you breathe here a Tibetan air. The narrow streets lined ...

Tagong, 2-5/11/2011 (English version)
We have a minivan waiting for us in the morning in front of our hostel in Danba. Our next destination is Tagong - small, tibetan village high on the plateau, 3750 above the sea level. It's quite an ascend to make in one day. We will see how our bodies take it. Our driver - lively, smiley tibetan man sings all the way to Ba Mei (3hours) - it's much better than chinese radio. On the way the road climb well ...

Road to Danba
An account of our efforts to get away from it all during China's National Holiday - Golden Week - 1st to 7th October 2011.

04.30am: Arise to prepare for our bus ride to the small mountain town of Danba, about 350km from Chengdu. An easy taxi ride on the empty, pre-dawn streets to one of Chengdu's many bus stations. A crowd grows before our eyes as we wait for the doors of the Bus station to open at 06.00. The crowd includes a just a handful of ...

A Very Special Village

Today's adventure made the grueling 14 hour commute from Litang somewhat worthwhile. In lieu of stomaching a visit with the Nomads either on foot or via horseback, I met up with Roman and Margret from Poland for a little excursion to the nearby village of Derga.

We set out mid-morning in pursuit of the school for Monk's and a nunnery which supposedly houses over 3,000 nuns and are currently celebrating a flower festival. Per Angela's ...
