A village homestay on the way to Lhasa
Little Chinese Everywhere rides the final leg of her motorcycle journey through Tibet toward Lhasa. The trip from Dragsum Tsho to the provincial capital is 440 km and is described as her longest ride. Early on, she drops the motorcycle and breaks a mirror, then continues through the landscape.

Reaching Lhasa and closing the trip
In Lhasa, a motorbike club welcomes her and awards a medal and certificate for completing the ride through Tibet.
