TRAVEL: XIAHE Labrang monastery

 SATURDAY 7TH OCTOBER
we got up and got the bus at 7.30am, the city was still quiet and relatively empty at this hour. a long trip the view of the landscape once out of the city was nice, the bus quite clean and quiet.
we were randomly dropped off at a sort of drop off check point area road crossing, along with some Korean tourists, also a little confused, but it did suggest we were on the right track to the town and monastery,  a small coach/van came, old, dodgy, dirty, the seats full of holes, it had a charming fusty smell...like when you have been doing the hard seat train after a while...
a weird old beggar farmer got on, (who later began casually smoking inside) I wouldn't have been surprised if someone came on with a cage of live chickens it was very old country style...
