Lunang to Basongcou

Lake to Lake

D15 I rested in Luliangzhen. A planned rest day and a bad stomach meant I just chilled out in the hotel. The area is bit of a failed cultural theme park. From a landscape perspective, it feels like I’ve moved from the lowlands of a Chinese Welsh valley to the Swiss village highlands with Chinese caricaturists. Nothing much to do here.

Day 16 to Nyingchi was nice and relaxed. It seems like a bustling modern city, and I even managed to get a replacement iPhone and a good feed. 第16天前往林芝的旅程轻松惬意。这里俨然是一座繁华的现代化城市，我甚至成功换了一部新iPhone，还吃了一顿丰盛的饭。

D17 was a very nice, chill ride to Basongcou Lake. Traffic moved to the motorway, which made riding a lot lot lot nicer. Scenic river mountain scenery, very good village noodles, good espresso and cookies, smell of pine trees, tail wind, slight uphill, and good weather. Could not ask for much more. 第17天骑行前往巴松口湖，一路轻松惬意。车流转到了高速公路上，骑行体验好太多了。沿途河山风光如画，村里的面条非常美味，还有不错的意式浓缩咖啡和曲奇，松树的清香扑鼻，顺风相伴，略带上坡，天气也很好。再好不过了.
