I entered China with nothing so bought all my gear and got the bike put together in Shanghai.
1st day out of Xining
Lake Qinghai, traditional halfway point between Tibet/Mongolia. Locals comming to teregate....
Pilgrims prostrating to Lhasa just under 2000km away.
Landscape changes.
Apparantly this says...”Severly fight all environmentally damaging capital, the source of illegal criminal behaviour“
Got snowed on in the desert. April.
Monotony
Desert meets the mountains. Nothern egde of Kunlun Shan.
Highway patrol.
Desert eats the mountains
First pic out of golmud
Local pedals
New Shanghai/Lhasa train skirts the KunlunShan. View from tent.
Frirst big pass, 4700m, leading up to the Tibetan Plataue.
Tibetan Plataue
Another pilgrim. Going ahead with his cart then doubling back to prostrate, he does 3x the distance.
Not much going on. Standard Plataue.
I assumed these were tundra fences to slow the winter sweep.
A common sight.
