Arrow Shenyang China charity riding ---Zhangmu Port

16th May ---18th May
Zhangmu County--Huoer Village-- Seng-ge Kambab county
pass by:G219
Course:abt 1100km
Zhangmu County, the gateway of sino-nepal silk road,as the must stop of our team, although it's a long way and the procedure is very complicated, we still rode 600km round to take a look.
When we first entered this ciyu, we felt this city is like square grid constructed on the hillside, and the road is like coiled spring, climbing spirally. The taxi here are all cute QQ brand. We can see Range Rover and old version of tata trucks. While we were in Zhangmu county , we had the feeling that there were deep friendship between China and Nepal people. the Nepalese are kind and gental, while the Chinese are warm and cordialy. Both sides co-exist peacefully. However, with only one bridge apart, the scenary is very different. 30 years of open policy, China has achieved enormously. The boundary is very distinctive.
Starting off from Zhangmu Port, we rode past Mount Xixabangma,we felt the maginificance of snow mountain again. Walking on the new built Tibet S707 provincial road, passed "no man land" and the beautiful Manasarover lake, the view fired our imagination.

Kailash means " Mountain of the Gods" in Tibetan. Mount Kailash is viewed as the saint mountain by the world, and is also thought as the centre of the world by Hinduism,Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan Bompo and Jainism. For centuries,Mount Kailash is a charmed place for pilgrims and explorers, however, no one has climbed up to the top yet, or should i say no one dare to offend this world's center.Mount Kailash is always surrounded by clouds, local people always think it is a bless if you can see the top.
