Where CHINA Meets INDIA 🇨🇳🇮🇳 I Tibet Part II

Salt farms, church and mountain roads

Little Chinese Everywhere continues her motorcycle journey through Tibet, traveling from Chamdo through Mangkang Yanjing toward Lhasa. At Yanjing, she visits a salt farm said to be a millennium old and tries Jiajia noodles. Small bowls arrive one after another for the same price, no matter how many she eats. She also visits the only Catholic church in the Tibetan region, whose architecture combines Tibetan features with Christian faith.

The route follows the G318 highway. She meets Xiaxia, a young woman walking to Tibet, and reaches a pass at 5,130 meters. The road then descends through the 72 bends of the Nujiang River, a narrow, rough stretch shared with trucks. At Ranwu Lake and Yalong Glacier, the scenery changes from mountain road to water and ice. She also talks with local people and learns how small clay Buddha figures are made.

Bome, Medog and Lulang

Bome is greener than she expects, with alpine forests and snow-capped mountains; the source compares it with Chamonix in the French Alps. She visits Zhuolong valley and its tree-burial sites, which are connected with local Loba traditions. In Medog, the last county in China to gain a highway connection, she encounters a tropical atmosphere and learns about the Menba people, their language and culture. Their traditional houses are raised to keep mice out.

The journey continues toward Lhasa through Lulang and its alpine meadows. In Zhaxigang village, she samples sweet tea, Tibetan noodles and fried potatoes. She stays with a Tibetan family, watches them milk yaks and make butter, and reflects on the challenges and rewards of the ride. The route brings together the salt farms, church, high pass, lake, glacier, towns and time with local families and travelers. Along the way, she meets other travelers as well as local residents, and the encounters sit alongside the changing terrain and road conditions. Her account returns to Lhasa after the stay with the family, where she reflects on what the journey demanded and what she learned from the places and people she visited.
