15 �� 20 assigned to the 213 National Road to the fork in the road Maqu, looking at posters on the Yellow River fed up with pagodas so spectacular, the car stopped at the fork in the road We really hesitated for a long time. You know, I was on a rare interest in the natural landscape, to see the wonders of gods run a few hundred kilometers are common. roadmap now shows only 52 kilometers, close the wonders of beauty Qi be missed. But the rain makes the road pat, visibility is into the unknown, asking Tibetans This section of the road looking for, ask for a rainy day look can climb, but unfortunately verbal communication is too difficult to hold back again and again, finally decided to give up.
As a remedy, we move along the road leading to Maqu 2 km away, to see Gahai.
16 �� half to the Langmusi, stay up positions in Gansu Lang wooden hotel, the town claims to be the best wood Lang Hotel.
the third floor above the hotel was the armed police force package. forces Why live a long time at the local hotel? is the military or the mission? inconvenience to inquire about military secrets. The hotel has a large parking lot behind the troops of the military vehicles parked in yards west, there are soldiers standing guard, which under the safety of my car protection. Force Station is the double post, one person holding assault rifles, Interestingly, another person who is 5 1 meter long pole. I think that Local dogs, yaks, sheep are more likely than with a wooden gun more convenient driving.
