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

Some may say prestine Jiuzhaigou and ancient Xian as an odd fit, but these UNESCO World Heritage Sites are both magnificant. From the turquise lakes of northern Sichuan to the stone Terracotta Warriors. These sites are in deed a perfect match.
