Maerkang
Like in most of western China, the contrast between the modern chinese settlers towns and the traditional, culturaly tibetan, nearby villages is striking..
Maerkang is as ugly and unwelcoming as the area and nearing villages are beautiful.

Birthday cakes?
These traditional houses are typical of the region of Maerkang.. the white "icing" and cutout terrace make them look like giant birthday cakes with one slice already gone!
Tibetan roads...
We're not in official tibet yet.. but getting closer..
I was only starting to experience the mountain roads; every now and then we had to get off the bus and walk a bit, so the lighter empty bus could manage accross mud..
