Barren, cold, unhospitable: those words come to mind when you travel through Qinghai. The landscape is varied - the road I travelled, was very beautiful because of the solitude, the open character, the vastness.
After the highest pass on this route, just under 5,000m, the landscape continued to be desolate. The rivers grew bigger, and we actually saw some that were not completely frozen anymore. The icy water fighting its way down the thick ice river bed, was actually the only sign of life here - apart from the yaks, wolves, antelopes we saw. The treeless landscape, without so much as a shrubbery, truly fascinated me. As we got lower still, the rivers turned bigger - this is one of the feeder rivers for the Yangtse River. Here, there were still small icebergs floating in it - further down, it would become the lifeline of millions.
