RV China Border Tour Day121-124: Lulang Fairy Town

Last time I mentioned: Parking by the Lhasa River ...

Today we are going from Lhasa to Nyingchi, with mountains, woods, and streams all the way, a bit like Kanas.

Parked at the clean and quiet Baiba service area at noon

After a break, we continued on the road and arrived in Linzhi in the evening. We parked in the parking lot of the park beside the Niyang River, at an altitude of 2,800 meters.

Go to bed early after dinner, good night!

Because the altitude was too high during 's stay in Tibet, we were constantly on the road for two weeks. The next day, we decided to rest for another day in Linzhi, a place with a lower altitude in Tibet.

On the third day, move on

It started to rain lightly on the road

On the way to the Niyang River Observation Deck

The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, as beautiful as a fairyland

Heehee likes it too

I met two riders who also traveled around China from Shenzhen, but the route was exactly the opposite to ours, and we were particularly lucky to meet here.

Two cars and four people took a group photo by the Niyang River

Goodbye, see you later! Continue driving on the steep winding mountain road

The winding mountain road was surrounded by fog, as if we were in a dream and it was unrealistic.

After getting out of the fog, we arrived at Lulang Town in the afternoon. This is a fairy town full of idyllic poetry and shrouded in fairy fog!

Modern houses with Tibetan style architecture

Encountering such a feng shui treasure, I decided to park here tonight. The bathroom is very clean and can be recharged with water.

Heehee, the dog's head got wet due to the light rain outside.

After the rain stops, we come to the town to look for food.

Riders highly recommended the mushroom health stone pot chicken here, which was said to be particularly delicious, so they came to a stone pot manor.

Because Linzhi is adjacent to Yunnan, it is rich in various types of mushrooms.

Nationally famous Medog stone pot

Stewing local chicken, half a small pot costs 180 yuan, which is very expensive

The tastelives up to expectations, very delicious!

I also ordered mushrooms. The most expensive one here is 180 yuan/portion Matsutake , which is scarce and out of stock, so the clerk recommended bigfoot mushrooms and small yellow mushrooms.

Bigfoot mushrooms that look like abalone are crunchy and delicious.

The portion of the small pot was very filling for two people. After the meal, I took Hee Hee out for a walk and watched the orangutans and the moon...

The night sky in Lulang is full of stars, but it’s a pity that the film turned out to be a tadpole looking for its mother.

Enjoy a wonderful night in the fairy town, good night!

The plan was to continue moving forward the next day, but unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, we discovered an excellent parking place - Tashigang Village in Lulang.

Come to the Nordic pastoral scenery like Switzerland again

Quietly sit by the Lulang River and enjoy the mirror of the landscape at this moment.

Due to its unique environment, Lulang is rich in the excellent nourishing product - Cordyceps sinensis.

Hidden Grass Insect

When I came back, I saw riders in two cars next to me sorting fresh mushrooms picked from the mountains.

Slice first

then dried naturally

At noon, the riders kindly invited us to have dinner together, and we used freshly picked mushrooms to make fried mushrooms with bacon.

During the conversation, I learned that the big brother in blue has been traveling around China for more than 500 days in a B-type RV, and I was very impressed.

In the afternoon, Big Brother took me to the mountains to pick mushrooms. On the mountains where it had just rained, mushrooms kept springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

The environment on the mountain is very similar to the world in "Avatar", and I also saw the "sacred tree" in "Avatar"

The tree trunks on the ground are covered with moss and mushrooms

There are many varieties of mushrooms on the mountain. If you don’t know the species, it’s best not to pick them. There are many cases of mushroom poisoning caused by accidental eating.
