We started from Bomi on 7th towards the next stop Linzhi. Unfortunately on our way, Tongmai Natural Barrier "desperately persuade tourists to stay". Long lines of cars are blocked at G318 National Road. We had to stay at Tongmai town for one day. At the nnon of 8th, we were able to drive on .
Passing the restricted Tongmai Bridge and a long dusty mountain road, at 16:00 PM, we arrived at Sejila Mountain which is 4728 altitude high. The snow mountain here is white and pure and the air is clean, with the dust we "wear" during our way on Tongmai, we stayed for a while at the mountain pass and then left quietly. Riding over the Sejila Mountain, the blackish green primitive forest was welcoming us with wetness and warmness. And we finanly reached linzhi Bayi Town. On 9th, we passed the beautiful Mila Mountain( 5013 altitude high). At 17:30 PM, We arrived at Lasa.

?Introduction to Tongmai?Tongmai's climate is quiet pleasant with only 1800 altitde high. It located in Canyon area. Abundant rain uaually washed away the rocks and stones along both sides of the canyon. Palong(10 km ahead of Tongmai) is the famous natural barrier on Sichuan-Tibet line." When you are riding passing the Palong road, you 'd better not peep the dangerous road". This section is only 10km, but it will take you 3 hours to get through. Palong Zhangbu river floes past Tongmai, the place where it and Yalu Zangbu River merge is the famous top point of the U Shaped turn. West of Tongmai, over the Sejila Mountain( 4720 altitude high), is the south region of Tibet---Linzhi.

?Introduction to Mila Mountain ?Mila Mountain is an important boundary mountain seperating the terrain, plants and climate of the west and east sides of Yangluzangbu River Valley.It is not only the watershed of Lasa River system in Northwest and Niyang River system in Southeast, but also the the dividing boundary to marine climate in Linzhi Region and inland climate in Lasa Region. It is a mountain of significant boundary function.The climate in the west of Mila Mountain is very could and dry, while in the east it's warma and wet. Plants thrive here.
Mila Mountain is 5013 altitude high. Standing on the pass, the wind is very strong. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the colorful prayer flags flew withe wind, connecting the sky and earth, passing the wishes of our people to Gods in heaven. The snow here is everlasting, and there are historical remains of the glacier movements in the earliest times. The Sichuan- Tibet road is passing Mila Mountain pass, and then we set out foot on Gongbudajiang Town in Linzhi Region.
