We hired a 4 wheel drive vehicle with driver for our overland trip from Chengdu – Sichuan Province China to Tibet. Lots of red tape as we needed permits for Tibet, driving overland to Tibet, and my visa was only for 30 days. This was a 41 days total trip including other areas of China.
The number of the road signs are the elevation in meters. The highest altitude we reach was around 5018 meters, over 16,460 feet! The red cheeks of the local people is because of the altitude.
We also went to various other areas of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. Roads were under construction back then with many of them dirt roads and we encounter rock slides along the way. This road trip would be a lot easier today as they built tunnels and a major highway. This trip was back in 2006.
This slide show was made using Google Photo, thanks to my sister’s suggestion of auto uploading old photos from my PC.
The music was added by Google Photo and is royalty free. The music stops, then repeats three times before the video ends.
