Lanmusi Leave a Comment / By jolecko / 2006-05-04 Lanmusi, China Lanmusi – our next stop on the Tibetan plateau. 01 Small childA red cheeked little boy hanging on the steps of Lanmusi. 02 Drinking water?The rather sad state of the city stream. The "toilet" at the back of the restaurant we frequented, featured a ramp that dumped straight into the water (you can see the back side of the building on the right of the photo). 03 Buddhist templeThis building was part of a much larger complex that we were guided through. In the hills above this monastary was a sacred "sky burial" platform. 04 FarmstayFor one of our nights, we stayed at a house in a very remote village of maybe a dozen homes and were treated to traditional Tibetan home cooking. yum! 05 The village from aboveWe went for a walk with the local children up into the peaks surrounding the village. 06 Farmstay familyThe lovely family that put us up for a night. 07 Daily drinking waterNo running water where we were other than this spring about 1/2 km from the village. 08 Peak outside of LanmusiFive brave souls from the tour group decided to tough it out for a Tibetan Plateau mountain climb. We couldn't find a trail per se, but did find the peak after several hours though! 09 4007m baby!OK, maybe not mount everest (8850m) - but a great peak none the less!
