9/9 - After 20 sleeper bus from Xian to Lanzouh, we have arrived to Lanzouh at 0600 in the morning and took another bus to Xiahe at 0730. (44.5 Y, 4.5 hours).
Xiahe is little Tibetan village at the Tibetan hilly region. It’s a green place, surrounded with grasslands, and it has the largest and most important Tibetan village outside of Tibet.

11/9 - we mention the 9/11 events with little bicycle adventure to the nearest grassland which was nice until rain struck us back to town. The grassland is 14km south to Xiahe, and it cost 5Y to cross the Pagoda. Bicycles a 15-20Y per day.

12/9 - After meeting two more Israeli couples ( which was nice after 3 weeks with no Israelis around) we took a van along with Yaniv, Micheal, Gal and Eran to the far away grassland which is 2 hours away from Xiahe. 10Y to enter a grassland that you can see much much better ones on the way to the next station on our trip - Langnussi. The Van cost 250Y for all 6 of us. Does not worth it, off-course Noa thinks otherwize.
