Traditionally dressed Amdo Tibetans must be among the most colourful people around - and you can see lots of them in villages in Qinghai province.
However, when a few hours later we arrived in Mato (Tibetan) or Maduo in Chinese, it felt like walking into a movie set or a folkloric museum. I was very excited to see people in traditional clothes everywhere. They were riding fantastically decorated motorbikes, going shopping, having a chat on the pavement, or going out to a restaurant. They all wore winter clothes and especially the women seemed very well protected against the biting cold with their mouths covered. They all seemed friendly, smiling at the lonely traveller and some tried to communicatie in one way or another.
