The next morning before departure, I walked around this compact settlement fascinated by the new buildings constructed to provide necessary services for the local population. Then, a leisurely drive alongside the Yarlung Zangbo River to Mainling before crossing the river for the last time. We joined Highway 318 coming up from Sichuan, reaching Bayi in Nyingchi for an overnight. Beyond lay Lhasa and the culmination of an amazing 15-day Tibet adventure.Monks producing music and sounds.
