Tuesday the 6th of September we were there for two nights.
So as I think I may have mentioned previously the Chinese government prevented us from entering China for 5 days and also made us enter from a different border crossing which really was annoying to say the least, as not only was our time cut shorter but we now would not be going through the area of Everest base camp and our whole route was messed up.
Our Chinese border crossing went pretty smoothly according to our guide Lu, who has previously experienced some epic Chinese border crossings before. They can be very strict and search bags for Tibet related material etc.
Our first stop in China was Kashgar. We stayed in a hotel here for two nights and had our first experience of real Chinese food. SUPER SPICY!!!! We stopped in this little place off the street and pointed at some pictures of noodle dishes on the wall and tried it out. Glen’s was hot mine was mega hot but it was still very yummy and it really was very expensive at £1.80 for the two meals. NOT.
We explored Kashgar and its grand bizarre and old town before making our epic stint of 7 days of driving and bush camping headed for Lhasa, the capital of Tibet.
