Jiang Zeyuan saw a shop selling Tibetan robes and asked, "Should we buy a few Tibetan robes and experience the local clothing culture?"

Jiang Huayi and Jiang Yaoyao jumped up excitedly: "Okay, okay!"

In the shop, a family was selecting Tibetan robes, trying out different styles and colors.

Jiang Huayi put on a blue Tibetan robe, tied a belt like a Tibetan man, and wore a felt hat.

He said to everyone seriously: "Do I look like a Tibetan boy?"

Everyone was amused by him.

Jiang Yaoyao chose a pink Tibetan robe embroidered with exquisite flower patterns. When she put it on, she looked like a lovely little Tibetan princess.

Walking on Barkhor Street in Tibetan robes, the family attracted a lot of attention.

But they didn't care at all and enjoyed this unique experience to the fullest.

They also met some foreign tourists on the street.

When foreign tourists saw them wearing Tibetan robes, they gave them thumbs up and asked to take photos with them.

Jiang Huayi and Jiang Yaoyao were a little shy, but they still took photos with them generously.

After walking around for a while, the family felt a little tired, so they found a teahouse to sit down and rest.

The teahouse was filled with the rich aroma of tea, and some local Tibetans were sitting around.

They drank tea and chatted leisurely.

Jian Yue ordered a pot of butter tea.

When the steaming hot butter tea was served, Jiang Huayi asked curiously: "What kind of tea is this? It smells weird."

Jian Yue smiled and explained: "This is butter tea, which is drunk by Tibetan people every day. It is made of butter, tea leaves and salt. Drinking it can replenish energy and also help people adapt to the climate of the plateau."

As she spoke, she poured a glass for everyone.

Jiang Zeyuan took a sip first, smacked his lips and said, "Well, this taste is very special. You may not be used to it at first, but after a few more sips, you will find it delicious."

Jiang Huayi and Jiang Yaoyao followed his example and started drinking.

Although I felt a little strange at first, I gradually got used to this unique taste.

During the day in Barkhor Street, the family ate, drank, played, and strolled around, experiencing various Tibetan cultures and foods.

After leaving Lhasa, the family headed deep into the grassland.

Their destination is to experience nomadic life.

After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at a nomadic camp.

The scenery here unfolded before their eyes like a painting.

The vast grassland is like a huge green velvet carpet, extending to the horizon and connecting with the blue sky and white clouds.

Herds of yaks and sheep graze freely on the grassland. They are like elves on the grassland, embellishing this green world.

In the distance, there were white tents dotted around in an orderly manner. That was where they would stay tonight.

They came to the tents prepared for them. The tents were made of traditional yak hair and felt a little rough, but very thick.

There is a vent on the top of the tent, through which sunlight shines, forming golden rays of light, illuminating the simple yet warm layout inside the tent.

There was a thick blanket on the ground, and a small stove burning cow dung in the middle for heating.

There are some colorful ornaments with ethnic characteristics hanging around the tent, adding a bit of liveliness to this slightly monotonous space.

Jiang Yaoyao ran around in the tent excitedly.

I touched the ornaments curiously, "Mom, these ornaments are so beautiful."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Yes!"

Jiang Huayi was very interested in the small stove. He squatted beside it and watched the cow dung burning in the stove, extremely curious.

"Dad, why do they use cow dung to make fire? Won't it stink?"

Jiang Zeyuan smiled and explained, "Son, cow dung is an easy-to-obtain fuel on the grassland. After being processed, it has no odor when burned and can also keep the tent warm."

When night fell, a bonfire was lit on the grassland.

The bonfire party began and the surrounding herdsmen came in their best clothes.

Everyone gathered around the campfire, and cheerful music sounded. It was played by the herdsmen on traditional musical instruments. There was the crisp sound of the Zamnie and the rhythmic beating of the hand drums, which intertwined together like the sound of nature.

The herdsmen enthusiastically pulled Jian Yue and her family to join the dancing crowd.

At first, Jiang Huayi and Jiang Yaoyao were a little shy.

But with the encouragement of the herders, they quickly integrated into the group.

Everyone held hands and danced happily around the bonfire.

Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan also seemed to have regained their youthful vitality.

They laughed and danced, feeling the warm atmosphere with the herdsmen.

Tired of dancing, the family sat by the campfire to rest.

The herdsmen brought steaming milk tea and roasted lamb.

The roasted lamb was sizzling with oil and exuding an enticing aroma. The skin was roasted golden and crispy, while the meat inside was tender and juicy.

Jiang Yaoyao couldn't wait to take a bite and exclaimed: "It's delicious. This mutton is completely different from what we eat in the city."

Jiang Huayi also nodded, his mouth full, and said incoherently: "Well, this tastes great, and this milk tea is delicious."

At this time, an elderly herdsman began to tell stories about the grassland.

It tells the heroic legends on the grassland, ancient love stories, and their lives that depend on this grassland from generation to generation.

The children listened attentively, staring at the old man without blinking.

As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually became smaller, but people's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest.

Jiang Huayi and Jiang Yaoyao leaned on Jian Yue and Jiang Zeyuan, feeling a little sleepy but reluctant to leave.

Finally, the family returned to the tent to rest amid the herdsmen’s singing.

Outside the tent, the night breeze blew from the grassland, bringing cool breezes.

The next morning, the family was awakened by the singing of birds and the fresh air unique to the grassland.

Today, Jiang Zeyuan plans to take them to learn horse riding.

When they arrived at the horse farm, the herdsmen had already prepared docile horses for them.

The horses had shiny fur, gentle eyes, and gently wagging their tails.

As soon as Jiang Huayi saw the horse, he ran over excitedly and reached out to touch the horse's mane.

But the horse suddenly snorted, and he was so scared that he quickly pulled his hand back.

"Haha, Brother Yi, don't be afraid, it's just saying hello to you." Jiang Zeyuan walked over with a smile and patted the horse's neck gently.

The horse seemed to understand what he said and became quiet.

The herdsman brother is their horse riding instructor, with bronze skin and a hearty smile.

He first explained the basics of horse riding: "When riding a horse, the most important thing is to build trust with the horse. Look, first hold the reins like this, not too tight, not too loose. Then step firmly on the stirrup and keep your body balanced."

As he spoke, he easily climbed onto the horse and demonstrated a few simple moves.

The skillful posture made the whole family envious.
