That day we finally set off for school. I heard from other volunteers that the road to school two years ago were very bad, they spent six hours to get there.  But now it only takes four hours from Yushu town because they built a mountain road.  It is really convenient and safe. The mountain road was built near the river. On our way there, the rusty red slush-like water, sometimes hurriedly passed, sometimes wide and slowly flowing; groups of yaks bathed in the river, and some grazed on the grass full of flowers, some climbed on the higher mountains and
