Tibet Kham, Eastern

The news was shocking!

The ticket agent at the Shangri-La Bus Station Zhongdian, Yunnan province was happy to tell me over and over, Chinese and English, that yes, foreigners can now travel east by the Tibet Autonomous Region to Lhasa … land and without a license! I really could not believe what I heard, but rather than fall into ecstasy, agony I benefit most from this new policy or continuing as planned on my already paid for, authorized by the government, one week tour across Kham Lhasa. Ultimately, it would have been ridiculous for me not to choose the latter.

The decade-old Land Cruiser was in good condition surprising after driving through Tibet 99 times. We started in northern Yunnan Feilaisi the cliff, is at a dizzying 4000 meters nauseously and panting, to spend the night at a place of pilgrimage road chortens bleached by the sun, wind, prayer flags in tatters and a breathtaking view Mingyong Glacier.

Bright (a light so bright it was hard to believe) and early the next morning we went on rolling hills. Vistas of incomparable beauty reveals itself at every turn. The forest was a mosaic of earth tones, orange, purple, brown and green, both light and darkness. With iridescent blue sky and fluffy white clouds above us, we traced perilous dirt laces whose shoulders collapse threatened to throw hundreds of feet below us in the Mekong river, she looked quite peaceful at the top, its banks and farmland dotted with eye-catching the whitewashed houses which seemed to invite Adobe Tibet.

"Xizang!" our driver shouted. In fact we had been in Tibet for a half-day, but how can we know without going through any kind of border or being stopped by officials asking see our papers? We had to remind ourselves that entering Eastern Tibet was now a licensing process, under all points control over our maps and guidebooks were recently abandoned. We celebrated our entrance to the blind in the TAR (Tibetan Region self) to spend the day in the small dusty town of Markham. Winding Down of its market on the weekend, the city was full of the splendor of the traditional population Khampa: gold-skinned women with long dresses and striped colored braids, and tall men with long braided hair woven with tassels Chamdo red circle and a solid jade. We were greeted by dozens of red cheeks, snot-nosed kids dancing around us. My fellow passengers were European constantly surrounded by a crowd of curious, who took turns managing their fingers along the thick leg hairs, then letting a collective murmur fascinated.

Traveling through eastern Tibet can be compared to the experience of four seasons in just a matter days. While we started with clear skies and ancient forests, the next morning took us into the frozen tundra. Crescent 99 turns in the range Hengduan, the mountain seems to freeze before our eyes. At 5008 feet we reached the highest altitude of our trip.

In the dark Dongdola neck we met a nomadic herdsmen settlement (drokpas) living in black tents while herds of yaks emaciated cows graze in pastures surrounding frozen. These gentle people of an inhospitable land were dressed in costume handwoven simple, but they were extravagantly accessorized coral, turquoise and silver jewelry. These shepherds had seen few white faces in their life. A family drokpa had not yet seen a digital camera and they been hypnotized by the sight of their own pictures on the LCD.

At Pomda a junction noise polluted logging trucks and tractors, we met a group of hikers and cyclists international hardcore sitting at the literal crossroads linking the northern route of the road Sichuan-Tibet occupied with the less frequented roads in the south. From there, our journey took us through and down into terraces and green patchwork plots hamlets ground fed by springs of snow on the Salween River to the twin lakes incredibly blue mint Rawoktso. morning traffic dodging Kham goat, lamb and yak-cows (yes, cross), we insisted on the road strewn with rocks of the valley Sundzom, past the rapids Tsangpo Parlung whitewater and avalanche old snow ice in Tongmei, where we met our first real obstacle.

Rumors have circulated among backpackers we had met on the road on a bridge and shot at Parlung Tsangpo Brahmaputra convergence, which would prevent anyone from continuing to Lhasa. It turned out that the bridge was good, but a landslide across the road was literally wiped from the face sheermountain. Those who wish to continue must be quickly navigate in a narrow path or wait a week or more.

So here we said goodbye to our Land Cruiser and cross the bridge to meet to another driver. The organizer of our trip told us by phone from his office in Kunming nice that the new driver would be waiting "in steps "of the landslide. It proved to be an arduous task to four hours of hiking a mountain trail above Gorge Rongchu traitors in the dark of night, the rain pelting monsoon of Tibet. We braved the muddy slopes, skillfully crossing washouts and literally dodging rocks falling from above, before finally arriving at a tent of construction workers made a giant nylon bag. Backpackers Israeli and British have decided to stay while my companions and I traveled forward in search of our new driver.

Thanks to our new vehicle and driver, we headed to Lhasa from. Passing fields of bright yellow flowers Youcai, we arrived at the famous Draksumtso, a blue lake and lush alpine forest that would have been breathtaking if it had not been for the sea of baseball caps to wear groups of tourists – the secluded beauty of eastern Tibet was behind us.

How low and despicable he may go to distort the truth about China (Tibet)?

In the midst of wars against China image, photo appears, showing the monks Lhasa riots 3.14 are not "monks", they are more Chinese soldiers "(link below). It is it is an old photo taken in 2003 showing that the Chinese soldiers were casting the role of Tibetan monks in a video object. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8673

Yes, it is depicable. It is despicable that the Chinese people are being governed by a band of communists who control them at will. It is despicable that the Chinese people have been indoctrinated to a level that they do not know the difference between a lie and a truth. It is despicable that the Communists have tried to control everything that China does, what he reads, what he believes. It is sad that the Chinese have been turned into paranoid belief that everyone is their enemy, and everybody is lying except the propaganda machine Communist.
