Today is Jun.8, Thurday. We started at XinNanMen coach station at 9:30 and spend the rest of day on the coach. The yellow line marked out the way we covered.


The coach run on the zigzag upward montain road, outside the window are full of montains and green vegetation.


After many many hours, we see the ErLangShan Tunnel. Pass through the tunnel, we will se the tibet area.


We cheer as our first glance out of the tunnel. It’s tibet plateau scene, we see it. Really different from the scene I have ever seen, more broad and more magnificent.


Then the coach keep going downhill and the driver has to keep stepping on the brake. When it get down from the high altitude, the tires are smoking due to continious friction and have to be cooled down.


The condition of the road is bad, we are stucked several times by landslide.


Finally, we safely arrived at hotel at Hailuogou valley. 60 each one, including free hotspring.
