Rural Tibet Exploration: Yanjing's Cliff Town & Mountain Majesty
Solo traveler explores rural Tibet's stunning mountains and unique culture, savoring local noodles and breathtaking views. An unforgettable journey!
I have crossed the border to Tibet (Xizang) and travelled to a quite famous region around Yanjing City. It's a small cliff town located in eastern Tibet close to Yunnan Province. The area is famous as an ancient trade route connecting Tibet with Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces. Besides, it offers a stunning mountain landscape with mountains that are higher than 6000 meters in altitude. I also tried the famous Jiajiamian, which are quite popular Tibetan Noodles. The peculiarity is that you only get a very small portion that you can refill an unlimited amount of time. Eventually, I refilled 7 times.
In the end, I rode up the Lawu Mountain Pass to reach my final destination after 200 km.

They're served in tiny bowls, you eat one, they give you another! It's all you can eat for 20 yuan, and they count how many you eat with stones!
Why are there no license plates on the motorbikes?
They just don't need them here!
What's the story behind the salt?
This salt was once used to feed the whole Tibetan Empire! They still make it the traditional way, letting the brine from the well dry in the sun.
How was the ride over the mountain passes?
Challenging! I climbed two passes over 4000m, but the views were amazing.
What's the deal with refilling gas?
You have to use a bucket! It's annoying, but that's how they do it here.
