The next day morning, we saw Chan talking to a soldier-looking Chinese guy at the lobby. We
departed for ' Tuotuo River ' today.  On the way, we passed Mountain ' Tanggula ' which is
5231m above sea level, and few of our members were still drinking the special medicine to
prevent the mounatain sickness. Before we reached ' Tanggula ' , we had our lunch at a town
called  'An Tou'. Unfortunately our bus broke down and needed 4 hours to repair, and during that
time, we went to take pictures around the town. Cheeh and I saw 2 women and a kid sitting on
the hill which attracted our interest. Hence, we walked up to chit chat and took photos with them.
Going down from the hill, we saw 3 musulmen slaughtering the goat in an open air area. Cheeh
got the permission from them to take photos on the whole process, but I only took two pictures.

We went back to the restaurant for a rest. Cheeh and I  sat at the same table, and put our cameras
on the table. Stanley came over and told me he could be getting the mountain sickness soon
because he felt very uncomfortable. He didn't have the medicine then because all our luggage
was in the bus. He asked for the medicine and I gave him some as I had kept some in my pocket.

We arrived at mountain ' Tanggula ', the highest  mountain which we had ever reached in the whole  journey. We didn't encounter any ' Mountain  Sickness ' again because by then we got accustomed  to the weather and high altitude. Cheeh came to me  and asked me to take the photo for him using my  camera. I was so shocked when he told me his  camera was lost. It was very strange because all the  time he had never left his camera, and how could he  lose it without realising until we reached ' Tanggula '?

We drove alone with snowy mountain ranges from day time until dark. The bus broke down
again at 'An Tou ' causing us to reach ' Tuotuo River ' very late. We had a late dinner at the town,
and we had a terrible bad dream there as well. We stayed at the hostel of a military camp which
did not have water and light that night from 10:00p.m. to 9:00a.m. Morever, the toilet there smelt
very bad and without a door.

Everyone woke up very early on the ninth day. After breakfast, we went to see the first bridge of  Changjiang. Can you believe that Changjiang river is one of longest rivers in the world, and the water  source is just a small stream. The distance from Lhasa to Geermu is about 1155km, and we would  reach Geermu, Qinghai province, today. Before reaching Qinghai province, we could still see snowy mountains beside us. However, after we passed over ' Kunlun Mountain ranges ', we would not see them
