Amazing journey to Lhasa

Taking the skytrain to Lhasa...in one word: incredible!

The scenery is extremely beautiful and changes every hour or so, each landscape equally dramatic and unique. Flocks of sheep and yaks are grazing on Teletubbie hills, the sun forms nice shadows on the sand dunes, suddenly you see horses galopping in the desert, a few minutes later you spot a colourfully dressed Tibetan woman milking her yaks, then a lonely bike rider crosses the train track, little villages appear out of nowhere in the middle of nowhere. Until sunset all passsengers press their faces and cameras against the dirty windows to enjoy and capture this wonderful documentary. At sunrise, the windows are blinded by the snow of an overnight blizzard. Shortly thereafter, blue sky appears again, dotted with some sheepclouds.

Below a nice but disturbed impression of the journey...the windows were extremely dirty (rule of thumb: white dots are sheep, black dots are yak)...

More about the fellow Chinese passengers later...
