A Family Trip to Tibet - 1 Apr 2010

1 Apr 2010 - Tibet

Just 2 days after my parents got back from Qinghai, strong quake of magnitude 6.9 killed about 300 people in the mountainous Tibetan Plateau in southwest China and left more than 8000 injured as houses, schools and offices collapsed.

The Tibetan plateau is regularly shaken by earthquakes, but casualties are usually minimal because so few people live there. Many residents of the remote area was left without shelter in temperatures that hover near freezing. The quake was centred in the mountains that divide Qinghai province from the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Lets enjoy the view of Tibet through my parents eyes..
