144   PEKING TO LHASA

bridge consisting of three piles in the stream and

two on the sides, and a quarter of a mile beyond

is the dirty little village of Chamdo, 10,500 feet,

situated on a narrow wedge of land at the junction

of the Ngom Chu and the Dze Chu. The whole

of Chamdo turned out to see Pereira, the women

wearing wonderful head-dresses, the men with big

ear-rings in the left ear, and small boys grinning

and saluting in English fashion.

Chamdo is 2581 miles from Jye-kundo and

793 miles from Tangar.
