Travelling in Western Sichuan (2)

This picture was taken as an memorial or certificate, for the highest elevation I have ever challenged- 4523 meters.
It was a sunny day, but the sunshine on the plateau was not that comfortable, feeling like stinging my skin. The air was so thin that our tour guide even not allowed us to walk faster to avoid negetive effects.
However, standing on such an altitude, you are so close to the cloud and sky that sometimes you will have an illusion, feeling that you can easily reach the sky by a slight jump. You will also feel that you are so tiny and insignificant, under this vast and endless clear sky. And then, you might feel peaceful and found out that, whatever troubles you do not worth mentioning anymore.
