Photos from the ride to Budonquan

Snow overnight in my campsite.

The last river crossing, 40 km before Budongquan. After this, the fun starts. (See previous diary entry.)

The Kunluns - last photo before the pain started...

Track-road-tyre-truck interface.

Next morning - the faraway railway viaduct. This is the engineering miracle, the Qinghai-Lhasa railway, due to open on 1st July 2006.
