Road trip to Tibet, Day 1---the earthquake memory & first time taste buttered tea !

Finally , I start my road trip to Tibet , where I want to go many years ago . In my college period , many Chinese liked walking to Tibet or by bicycle ,even now , still can see some people cycling to Tibet .

You can see many flat like this in the whole trip ,it have five color , is a culture of Tibet , use for blessing.

I join a small group in this trip , include the leader ,just 5 people , is easy to get close with small group ,and we 5 in similar age. Another, 2 Inner Mongolia uncle follow our group , total 7 people.

The first stop is Wenchuan Middle School(汶川中学). In 2008 , there was a destoryed earthquake in Wenchuan, and this Middle school stop the time at that moment .
When we visit this ruins, we talk about our memory at that time , Peng said when the earthquake happened, they were still in classes , and when their teacher found the earthquake , she asked all the students stay in class. I was surprised and said "why ask you stay in class ?! when earthquake happened we should go to somewhere open field ,right ?!"
I just can said , before that earthquake , many Chinese have less earthquake knowledge, especially in villages.

Left there , we keep on the trip , a strong fog in front of us !

A village we take rest , this is one of their building , someone taking rest under stairs , their life are so peace !

We found a very old bridge , how dangerous it is !!! How they go through this bridge at the past time ?!

Most of their cars/trucks have many ornament , that's used to keep their safe.

Danba Village, a tribe who build the houses with a special style in mountains , when you drive enough high ,you can get a great view for the whole village.

The hotel we stay tonight , a full of ethnic flavor hotel , I like it !

And our dinner also with ethnic flavor ~

This is the buttered tea, a famous tea in Tibet , it have two taste , salty and sweet , this time we try the salty , it taste......I think I will like the sweet more .
