The place I like best or my favorite is Tibet. You know Tibet? Which in the northwest in China. I’ve been there in October 2012. And I went there with friends we rent a car. I’m sorry, we flight there. We flight there first then we rent a car. And then how to say , we rent two cars we have about 10 people in a team. We at first we have, we spent one night in Lasa.. then we went to, how to say that? Himalaya mountains, Nemo told me before but I forgot it. Nevermind. We spent there about two days. Unfortunately we saw the Himalaya mountains because the weather was clear that day. The most impressed, to me is the view is the stars in the night at Zhu fu mountain. It was just like you are in the space. Yeah in space. The moon is very big and the stars are very bright and all the world seems bright, shining. And I was just feeling, I was walking on the moon. It is very different than in shanghai or some other cities. But the high level is high, so several members in the team, got headache and warms, because the level is so high and not enough. I also felt headache but I recovery the next day. Yeah, and then we left to the next place which is the lake. Yeah, it is also very beautiful and there are, it is very clean and the water green? It looked as it is green but because it is very clean, when it is sunny, just like sea the color is just like blue just like the color of the sky. Maybe because it is located at the bottom of the mountain or hill, it is around or involved by grass or field. Maybe at the bottom of the lake there are many plants, I think so because there are many can see many plants at the edge of the lake. Besides this, it can feel different season weather in Tibet, and we also been to snow mountain. I hope I can travel there again in spring. I heard the route from Su Chuan from Tibet is also very beautiful. I hope I can go there by this route one day.
