So this is really "a scenery like paintings". An unbelievable sight was spreading.


The altitude of Qinghai Lake will exceed 3000 m.


Lake Qinghai was originally unexpected route. However, I was attracted by the news of "Aomi Lake One International Circular Road Race" flowing on the way lodging TV.

There is Qinghai Lake at a distance that it is likely to reach, but it seems quite hard to be there. Barbed wire is stretched around whether it is private estate. In the hoax where there is a rut on the car leading to the lake, I was taken the money. If it is told to a pretty little lady of an elementary school lower grade, "If it is a car, it is higher, I will do it cheaply because you are a bicycle," it can not be helped. I kindly paid obediently because I understood this Chinese and was in a good mood.

Sheep grazing in the meadow is also nice.

It was not hot there until summer 2009 as it was going around such a place. In the Northern European summer of 2010 it was cold enough to shiver, not hot. Summer in Central Africa in 2011 was also in the rainy season, so it was not a harsh heat.

It will not be hot until the summer of 2012 as well. From the beginning of July, I am supposed to work at Mt. Fuji.
