Lunch and Karola Pass

We have now arrived at the town area where the shops and restaurants are. And, wherever we go, we would see several tourist coaches who are typically following the touristy routes like ourselves. The restaurant we dined is is a Chinese one. Most of the nicer-looking restaurants outside Lhasa are Chinese. Since I finished lunch earlier than the others, I decided to have a stroll. Children were playing in the fields. There was a man playing a traditional-looking guitar on the floor, in front of the restaurant.


This was the restaurant we had lunch in.
