      Yak country

      May 19, 2024 in China ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Further elevation today into the grasslands -- yak country. This is the territory of the nomadic Tibetans. Yaks and yak butter are the overwhelming production items. The folk have permanent residences where they hunker down for the winter with their herd in an enclosure, but they roam around and live in tents at other times.
      We have ended up in a little place called Lang Mu Si, which is basically another monastery town. Surprising to see lots of young boys from probably 6 all dressed up in monk outfits.
      Much colder up here. Puffer jacket and beanie weather.
