At 9 o'clock, when we left Tagong, it still snowing lightly. After Col (3950m), the scenery becomes more lush and wooded and we are going through small villages with houses gleaming. Their foundation is stone, painted light tan. The floor of housing is made of logs and windows are decorated with the Tibetan way. They are decorated with beautiful drapes white exterior accented with a large dark blue cross. We arrive at 13: 00 to Daofu: 100 km in 4 hours! In town there are two clearly differentiated areas: Chinatown, bringing together the business sector and Tibetan at the periphery. In this sector, we reach a large Chorten (stupa) of 50m high, all white, well-insulated against a backdrop of mountains.
Nearby, a large number of carpenters squaring of barrels of 80 cm with an ax and adze. These are huge beams for the building of houses, one wonders where does this wood because the trees are not visible on the horizon ...
Before the Chorten, prayer halls are impressive by the size and number of mills, but also by the constant stream of the faithful. 
Accompanied by a monk smiling and attentive, we climb to the top of the Chorten by steep wooden stairs. Above, a superb view Daofu and its valley, Tibetan neighborhoods and yards framework.
we cross the entire city that stretches for two kilometers to reach the House Yamaduoji. It is a hotel-museum built by Yama, a wealthy Tibetan Daofu in 1970. The interior has cost 500 000 Euros. We visit the rooms, the House Yama, kitchens ... superb.
