Near noon, the fog gradually cleared, and I visited the Zhaga Nanegandawa Mountain Park. The park has not been fully developed. The road behind the mountain is full of people and horses. The road is full of horse dung and gravel and mud. The plank road near the entrance of the park, taking advantage of the fog to disperse, look at the village where we stayed last night. The Tibetan villages are built on top of the mountain. The freshly harvested wheat fields and pastures are like a painter’s palette, deep or shallow Yellow or green, so harmonious and so peaceful, there are two Tibetan boys in the small pavilion on the plank road and then do their homework in Tibetan. Outside the pavilion is a booth for renting ethnic costumes. It is probably their sister and mother.
