Xiangcheng
5th August, Xiangcheng
Litang is an easy enough place to get to but an awkward place to leave.
With no busses starting here a ticket out on the public bus is difficult to get.
So six of us, me, one from us and four from Poland booked a minivan to get to Xiangcheng.
The jorney was beutiful, from high rocky grasland down into spectacular valies.
Xiangcheng is small and nice, we went out in the evening looking for a pub but following the bright lights led us to two brothels before we finaly found a really cool bar. Entertainment seems to always include karaoke, dancing and then traditional dancing.
We walked up to the monestary the next day and chattet with a few monks as we sheltered from the rain.
Next morning the 6am bus to Zhongdien, or Shangrila as it has been renamed after a place in a book to attract more tourists. This road is unpaved a pretty spectacular, we only got stuck in the mud for an hour and arrived into town about 5:30pm
