Tibet was a region I was desperate to see, its remoteness and my inability to go delayed my journey. Last summer, my brother and I finally decided to take the trip.
We set off at the Guangzhou train station and three days later, we arrived in Lhasa. The trip certainly took a while; however, we (reward) with the most beautiful views and made friends along the way, all at a (low) cost than flying.
We started our tour of Lhasa watching pilgrims (朝圣者) doing their morning prayers, (comprehensive) exploring the palace. We had an incredible lunch at one of the best restaurants in Lhasa, offered a beautiful view overlooking the Jokhang Temple.
Then we started our journey to the Qomolangma base camp road from Lhasa. Along the way we stopped (admire) the Yamdrok Lake. Its beauty was beyond (describe).
About a week later, we arrived. We stayed in a guesthouse just next to the base camp and after dropping off our luggage, (head) straight outside to see the Mt. Qomolangma. The tip of the mountain emerged through the clouds, (astonish) us with its unbelievable height. The clouds parted and we watched the sunset over the peak.
