Helen's Silk Road
Xiahe is a lovely town. Only 20000 people. I don't think the tourists are counted. It is called little Tibet. Was the scene of some rioting in 2008 in sympathy with Tibet. Lovely ancient temple. Used to have 4000 monks. Now max 1800. In the morning the locals watched by the tourist walk the kora and turn the prayer wheels. 3k. Was the first cold wet weather.
