Baimang Snow Mountain,the Moon Bend of Yangtze River, the sunset view of Meili Snow Mountain,

Try to get up early in the morning, enjoy the magic sunrise of Meili Snow Mountain. Then drive another 1.5-hyour to Mingyong village, where you will walk on the trails for about 4km to Mingyong Glaciers of Meili Snow Mountain, walk another one your or so, you will get to Tibetan Taizi Monastery-another good spot to view the magnificent Mingyong Glaciers. (optional: You can choose to hire a horse to go up to the glacier on your own expense in order to save your energy). After Mingyong Glacier in Mingyong Village, you will do some trekking along the Lancang River Grand Canyon as well as some Tibetan villages. This will be your most impressive part of your trip to Yunnan. Try to trek back to Feilaisi from the Lancang-Mekong River with a nice view of Meili Snow Mountain and Baima Snow Mountain.
Drive about 2 hours to Yanjing Town, a charming town of Mangkang County.
--Lancang River is the longest river flowing from north to south in China. It takes its source from the Zhaqu of the Guangguori Peak of Tanggula Mountain Range in Qinghai Province, China. It is called the Lancang River after it reaches Changdu. The river runs south until it leaves China at the Nanla Bay out of Yunnan Province and therefrom changes its name from the Lancang River to the Mekong River.
The Grand Canyon of the Lancang River is famous for not only its deep and long vale, but also the rushing water. The river water is limpid and rushing in winter, but turbid and onrushing in summer. As the river becoming narrow in the Grand Canyon, high waves are striking against the banks and making a sound like thunder. What a fantastic spectacle! Such steep mountains, deep valley and miraculous geographic structure are seldom seen all over the world.

Today we drive from Yanjing towards northwest to Markham. It is the only region to meet traditional horse caravans on the way. This section is so-call 126 bents or 99 bents. Markham is the intersection town where Yunnan-Tibet highway joins the Sichuan-Tibet highway. Visit Gartok Gompa 10km before reaching Markham. 
Drive to Zuogong (3780m), the condition of this section of road is unbelievably good for 40km. Zuogong , the town overlooks the Yu-chu river (major tributary of Salween), amid forests. 
Overnight in Hotel - Liangshiju Guesthouse in Zuogong

Today’s drive passes Denpa. Ascend to Dungda La (5008m). The road continues through grassland along Yu-chu river valley. Visit Gelukpa monastery founded as a branch of Drepung, Stupas along roadside. The monks are extremely hospitable. Drive to Chamdo and visit Chambaling Monastery in the late afternoon.
--Qamdo County, located in the far eastern side of Tibetan Autonomous Region is probably the most advanced city of Tibet. Situated at an altitude of 3240M above sea level, surrounded by famous Hengduan Mountains Range and having many rivers and lakes, Qamdo is without doubt a naturalist's heaven. Qamdo is also an industrial hub thronged by enterprises and business travelers from around the world. The development of this remote city is on the full swing with many new roads coming up, making it an infrastructure advanced city.
The climate here is most unpredictable. One can experience four seasons on a single mountain itself. It is quite easy to get sick in such kind of weather conditions if required precautions are not taken, so it is better to carry all kinds of clothing with you. As a developed city, it has shopping arcades, street shops, and movie theaters. Meat is the most prominent food with Yak meat being the most popular. With its distinctive characters and vividness, Qamdo County has slowly but surely made its way to the top tourist spots in Tibet.
--Chambaling Monastery is located at the highest spot in Qamdo County, where you will get the best view of the entire city. Built in the year 1444 by one of Tsong Khapa's disciple, the temple houses few of the oldest statues of Buddha in large number. You will also find stunning work of arts in various Thangka paintings and murals. Visit this monastery during Tibetan New Year when you will see the most splendid offering of the monastery, the religious dance Guqing. 
The performers wear elegant traditional clothes and expressive masks that pump in a new life to the already spectacular dance.

It is a long driving but beautiful day. Drive from Chamdo to Riwoq County (3810M类乌齐) for your lunch, visit some Tibetan villages such as Jiduo Town, and Riwoq Town, also the Jila Mountain Pass with 4350 meters above the sea level.
From Riwoq to Xiangda Town in Nangqian County, drive through some high mountains passes such as Randaila Mountain Pass(4328M), Eyala Mountain Pass(4505M), Xiegala Mountain Pass (4503M). 
--Nangchen or Nanqian is a county of Yushu in there centralize: plateau pasture, virgin forest, deep and serene canyon, thousand years old Buddhist Monasteries and myth stories. Nangchen is the county name and Sharda is the name of the county capital. Nangchen was an independent kingdom of Tibet up until the 1950's. 
It was independent from Lhasa and also (very) independent from Beijing. Nangchen is rich in Tibetan history. There are several monasteries around twon. The famous Chinese Kungfu actor Jet Li spends a lot of time in Nangchen each year and is personally helping to fund the building of a new monastery there. Nangchen weather is much warmer than the rest of Yushu Prefecture, but will still be cold. You can get to Nangchen by taking a mini-van taxi from the front of the main bus station in Jyekundo for around Y30 per person.
If you want to see some nomad life it is not hard to find in Yushu Prefecture. Over 65% of the population is nomadic. I would recommend taking a mini-van taxi to the town of Drido (Zhiduo in Chinese). Drido lies 195km northwest of Jyekundo and can be easily reached by van taxi from the center square in Jyekundo. From Drido you could hike to Qumarleb which is 45 km away. Along the way, you follow the Drichu (Yangtze) River. It is very beautiful with lots of nomads.

After breakfast, drive to Zadoi County. It is a nice driving along the Zhaqu River from Nangqian County.
Drive along the China National Highway 309 (S309) to Shanglaxiu Town and change into the China National Highway 214 (G309) to Nanqian County. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Rongguo and Kanda Grand Canyons from Shanglaxiu Town to Xialaxiu Town about 30KM long. Visit the Jinba Charity Bridge over the Zhaqu River as well as some white pagodas and stone Buddha statues in the rock cliffs. 
From Nangqian you will head north to Yushu passing over the upper reaches of the Mekong River. There are large grasslands and lots of traditional Tibetan culture to be found in NangChen County. There are also some great Monasteries to see. And spend one day to visit two great Monasteries, SuMang Monastery and GaDing Monasery, you will love it!

Enjoy the nice sunrise in Sahuteng Town, then drive along the Zhaqu River to Zhaqing Town, continue the 85KM driving to Zhaxi Qiewu, where is the exact source of the Lancang Mekong River from Zadoi to the Pacific Ocean in Cambodia. From Zhaxi Qiewu, the road is end, a horse riding is necessary to the grassland and glaciers and explore the source of Lancang-Mekong River. This day will be a fantastic day in the paradise. The Tibetan name of Lancang River is Zhaqu, it means “beautiful”. The source is located between Aduo Town and Zhaqing Town with wild grassland and lakes. Drive back to Sahuteng Town in the late afternoon.
The Lancang River originates from Zaduo County of the Yushu Prefecture, and the headwater of the river lies between the originating places of the Huanghe and Yangtze rivers. Deep gorges and wide valleys alternate with each other. On top of the hills are usually barren white interlocking rocks like wolf's fangs. In Chinese landscape painters' words, the place is endowed with both "bones and flesh." The road condition here is usually very rough, and the landform is very complex. A local guide is necessary to go to the area.

Leaving Yushu the trail climbs out of the valleys back up to the high plateau, aiming southwest for Shiqu (Sershul). Shortly before town is Sershul gompa（色须寺） - a rare pink-tiled monastery. Large and obviously rich, it’s a bit more Han than Tibetan Buddhist. Back on the road to Shiqu proper, which was recently a small concrete town filled mostly with Han Chinese PLA and police, but is now a busy-ish market town, mostly Tibetan. Bumnying gompa (Gelukpa) is here, home to some 200 monks.

Departing Shiqu, detours worth taking if enough time include Tsatsa gompa and Rinyur gompa, as well as Zhechen gompa gotten to via a pristine mountain-lined valley. Further north and alongside the main road, set in a ‘hidden valley’, is the 17c Dzogchen gompa (Nyingma), one of the most important monasteries in Kham and a renowned school for Dzogchen teachings. Cross 4633m Muri la pass and drive through wide nomad country before arriving to the wild-west-kind-of-town of Manigange, home to Yazer gompa (Nyingma).
Leaving Sichuan-Qinghai ‘highway’, road slowly ascends, en route passing Yilhun Lhatso (4500m), a beautiful blue lake surrounded by snowy mountains, held very sacred by Tibetans as evidenced by all the mani stone piles and prayer flags. Soon after the road crests at Tro la (4916m) and the landscape changes from grassland to forests. Descend via a series of switchbacks, the trail enveloped between the steep sides of the Zi-chu river gorge before coming into Dege.
--Dege is a remote city with a long history, once the seat of the Kingdom of Dêrge, whose kings ruled this area independent of interference from either Lhasa or Beijing. Its most famous building is the Parkhang Printery, which has been the main source of printed materials for much of the Kham area. Today it’s possible to observe the monks at work, using the same age-old wood block techniques. Gonchen gompa, largely gutted, has now been restored, but with the original shell largely intact.

Not a whole lot of miles covered this day, so plenty of time to make the detour to Pelpung gompa via a scenic narrow mountain road. The establishment of this 18c monastery quickly made this region the centre for the Karma Kagyüpa school. It’s been designated one of world’s most important endangered monuments by World Monuments Fund. It’s a huge complex, visible for miles from its hilltop perch. Known as the Little Potala, some reckon its architecture to be Kham’s most stunning. 
Back to the main road, continue following the Yangtze to the small town of Hepo, just beyond which is another important monastery, the early 12c Katok gompa located 850m above town. Excepting Samye (near Lhasa) this is the oldest surviving Nyingma monastery, making it a hugely religiously significant site. Baiyu is a pretty Tibetan town with tree-lined streets and the river Ding-chu flowing through it. The important Pelyul gompa (Nyingmapa) is located atop a hill behind town. 

Drive across Chola pass (5050 m)to Garze (Ganzi), the real cultural and religious center for the Tibetans living in Sichuan.In Tibetan "Garze" means "white and beauty", named after the famous temple in the county. Upon arrival, visit Garze monastery of yellow sect (Gelug).
On your way to Ganzi, you will drive over grand rocky mountains and see beautiful small lakes scattered on the highland. Upon your arrival in Ganzi, you will be sent to pay a visit to Ganzi monastry and take photos at Ganzi monastery, which overlooks the city. Between your hotel and the monastery are huge stretched villages and house built by old style.

From Ganzi continue down the pretty Sershul valley, coming first to Luhuo, with the towering Drango gompa overlooking town. Then visit Nyitso gompa near the town of Daofu. This valley is the widest in Kham, offering ample grazing lands and arable fields, consequently here are some of the wealthiest and prettiest Tibetan houses of the region. In Tagong is the impressive Lhagang gompa, where views of Mt. Yalha (3809m) and Paojiashan (5400m) can be had.

From Tagong road drops sharply from the high plateau, crossing two passes – Gye La and Lama La (4320m). Kangding was the trading post between the Tibetan Highlands and Sichuan lowlands and as such provides the last taste of Khampa Tibet.

Hit the road for an early start to this day's drive, which follows what was the old tea route between China and Tibet and is now the main military road into the TAR. The road goes via the 10-km Erlang tunnel, then crosses the 3000m Erlang pass. Lunch at Luding, site of one of the more heroic episodes of the long March. Then the road skirts north of the 7756m Minyak Gangkar (Gonggashan) to the south.
Chengdu is a huge intense city, with a history dating back to pre-Han dynasty. It has variously acted as a dynastic capital and centre of southern radicalism, before reaching its status today as provincial capital of Sichuan and home to some 6 million people. Today it carries all its history with it in the sheer complexity of its layout and culture - modern boulevards, intersected by mazes of narrow crooked side streets, traditional neighbourhoods next to high end department stores, Sichuan opera houses, the Mao statue in the main square, the street-side restaurants serving arguably some of the best food in China, the parks, Zen monastery and neighbourhood tea houses - where for centuries rebellion has been plotted.
