Day 7 - Oct 22, Bamei - (73km) - Danba
Today was an easy ride from Bamei to Danba, 73km only, which lesves us plenty time taking pics, after a very good sleep last night, we left Bamei at 7:40a.m and slowly move to Danba as the scenery along the way especially when the sun was about rise was extremely wonderful.
Around 14:20 we arrived Danba county and without a stay we headed directly to visit the famous Jiaju Tibetan village, it was a half hour mountain road ride from the county. Although I was not some artificial scenery fan, still I loved the way the local Tibetan build their houses:)
Early morning around Bamei
