Today's ride takes us from Tuoba Village all the way to Baiyu County a 230-kilometer journey we'll see highlands remote nomadic life, vast grasslands beautiful lake, yaks, and so much more just stay tuned, and follow along with my camera Here the pressure of the front tire is supposed to be 2.3 My first stop will be a very famous temple here now let's go and check it out now temperature, 13 Celsius altitude 3,382 meters I think this is the capital of Ganzi autonomous region colorful flowers, what is this wall for National Tourists Attraction It's for, old town for the old king of them but I think it's just a modern modern modifications so, I quit this, not fancy in modern technologies especially about modern technologies technologies used in ancient relics hopefully today will be no rain because if there is a rain then once I'm in the mountainous region there will be some landslides or debris flow probably another backtrack, don't want to have that Wow, I see loads of Yaks, sporadically this creek is from mountain top, should be clean so, gonna get myself some water, probably for my lunch look at this mountains, such amazing formation and right now my altitude is 60 meters to four thousands and my motorcycle is working cool I don't need to get it a full throttle Well, right now my altitude is 4300 meters and it's getting chilly a newly constructed tunnel otherwise we should go that way I heard that attitude for that one at mountain pass approaching 5000 but now we don't need that anymore with this tunnel a super long, freaking cold, and super dark tunnel XinLong Red Mountain, what does that mean? probably there is a mountain, totally in red color back to 2017, so, land reclamation 333.3333 hectares, all grasslands so, that's like seven years ago right now we have the tunnel so, there's no need for us to wind through the mountain top and see the twisting road, right? but just the tunnel here saved, I think, more than one hour On my left side, it's a meandering river and I think it's wetland with some houses, small houses of nomads but I don't see any yaks or sheep what a remote life they've been living 5 houses only and here the signal is also wake no entertainment, no stores just live with nature, and here, there are another three you see, normally they grab themself a patch of green grassland and then construct the small house wow, the scenery here is amazing here the scenery just a little bit different with former days the color of the grassland is not green but kind of blackish green some ponds, river, and rocky piles also it's a pity a lot of liters here, where there's a viewing platform there're liters altitude, 4.5 K meters, intertwinded prayer flags there are some, certain of inscriptions printed on these flags it means that once the wind blows it the inscriptions are sent away with the wind blowing wow, blistering wind trying to push me to the left side rocky formation another dummy police here it's a board with Chinese characters like anti-slide sands probably during winter days they just use the sand here to pave the road to prevent slide another wrecked car for warning there're some white tents over there just downside that valley some yaks a nomad people and I spotted nine tents, all white they are living together, like a community paste these heating pads okay, gonna show you something really interesting, that one that's a really huge painting on the rock surface it's not kind of some random graffiti it's a religious painting with a Buddha, with inscriptions what a work National Wetland Park, BaiYu LaLong Cuo I bet there should be a lake, highland lake just in the distance, somewhere around the corner Okay, thank you someone, you see them the first time someone, you see them the last time, that's life Well, I just couldn't resist visiting this amazing pasture -Hey -Hey Ah, this site is beautiful -Hi -Hi What is this for? even without a name I plan to check that monument-like construction you gotta do it clockwise I think the meaning of this one, probably the same with a prayer flag when you rotate it and these prayer wheels will just send inscriptions far away got a company here, religious yak hey what are you doing here, buddy? there are also paintings on the wall and local language calls this as Tangka or Tangka also all sorts of Buddhas Composing Tangka as such can cost a painter more than two years but learning this can be more than 10 years this is my work, now the last side One more Tangka printing at the entrance exquisite well, the yak, he's watching me leave don't trouble to come out, please I just checked that board because here is somewhere for burial ceremony but celestial burial ceremony they chop the deceased into the pieces and then mixed with highland barley flour and then let the vulture take all and if nothing left means this person was good person before death just to check this stupa and prayer wheels inside, just like what I did before it's golden or not? it's really amazing I'm totally stunned by by by size of of this palace thes houses should be should be the dormitories only one here in this canteen waiting for my lunch to be served, and local dish, it's noodle let's check the decoration of this canteen After lunch I decided to ride around and check out the temple pretty much everything here is built around it and I was really blown away Wow I bet there are more than 1,000 people inside this hall they are doing some preaching, I don't know Okay, got myself a quiet place for a brief introduction of this temple this temple is founded in 1985 the founder of this one thought like women in this society suffer injustice gender injustice, you know that so established this temple for women if some women feel stressed can be here to live their life another way rather than like hustling and bustling city uh raising kids, family, relationship, here online data says more than 30,000 women here, nuns but I don't think so, because I once studied in a university my university got 40, 000 students I know how it looks like I bet the number should be thousands rather more than ten thousands, that's it some women, mentioned, like locks themself in small cabin for, cultivate themselves for the religious doctrine, for 99 days but I don't, I don't think so, to be honest that's very small I post a photo of that, how to solve personal, you know personal things like toilet or all sorts of things so I don't think so I rode up to a hilltop or maybe a viewing platform to get a better panoramic shot, and it was just jaw-dropping and on my way back, I also saw this newborn little calf well, this region, I bet it is for the celestial burial ceremony now the color and the style of the house change different with yesterday's almost the same level with the clouds it's amazing, what amazing view right now, altitude is 4.3 K, and still rising
some drops from sky these kids are trying to get their yaks back home -Hi -Byebye -Hi -Hello if you check that valley, there are three tents I think they are truly nomadic way what a beautiful scenery the smoke, the yaks are getting back home though temperature, very low, altitude, very high wow, check this road Look at this site I think it's because of the thermal water here they heat it and the sulfur Sunshine comes out, 44 km to my destination Well, this is a really nice campsite but it's not a very safe, the river water here can rise so I will not camp here, I will move to next one also, you hear the noise just behind me they got tent there, so I bet they will work 24 hours a day This one also couldn't work cannot find the host and I need to backtrack to the town, find myself a hostel Because of the wrong directions I ended up riding around the county center a bunch of times now I'm following this lady in the red jacket to park my motorcycle
