In the morning we continued on G318 east over a mountain pass to see the pristine forest in Lulang (魯朗). After lunch, we backtracked to Bayi, crossed the Nyang River and then the Yarlung Tsangpo to reach Paizhen (派鎮), where we overnighted.

View from our room at the Basongcuo Hotel (巴松錯賓館) in Bayi (八一). A huge school behind the hotel.

Across the street is the Fujian Gardens (福建園), which appeared closed.

Basongcuo Hotel. Very nice, but no free internet.

Design on lamp posts in Bayi are Chinese rather than Tibetan.

New bridge across the Nyang (尼羊河), which we would cross in the afternoon.

Very fertile valley.

Starting the climb on G318.

Any driver's dream!

More prayer flags across the roadway.

I love those eyes!

Traffic jam.

Near the top. Looking back at the way we came up.

Approaching Serkyem-La (色季拉山口; 4,560m/14,960ft).

We were very close to the snow line.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see Namcha Barwa (南迦巴瓦峰) because of cloud cover.
