"I have to admit that I have a strong affection to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where Tibetan people inhabit. Every time I left my footprints there, I had no thought of leaving. Besides the unpolluted blue sky, splendid snow mountain and vast grassland, what makes me reluctant to leave most is the people living there who are always simple and honest. This time I paid a visit to the Dechen County in the northwest part of Deqen Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province.Followings are pictures taken on the road, and each bears a story".
