Others went for a challenging running session due to the high altitude (approx. 3000 meters above sea level).<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>After our individual morning activities a bus brought us to the Sangke Grassland to have lunch in a Tibetan tent with Tibetan food. They welcomed us with traditional white scarves and a shot of rice-liqueur. The following lunch was delicious but unfortunately the Zangba was the only purely Tibetan dish. Zangba is a Tibetan cookie made out of Yak-butter, sugar, flower and water. For desert we had the opportunity to prepare our own Zangba by hand, which was a lot of fun. To facilitate the digestion we were invited to join a Tibetan dance ceremony.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ianus.zhaw.ch\/international\/day-5-getting-in-touch-with-the-tibetan-culture\/dsc00981\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3563\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3563\" title=\"Traditional Tibetan Dance\" src=\"http:\/\/ianus.zhaw.ch\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/DSC00981-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After that the majority of our group took the opportunity to take part in a horse ride through the grassland for around 60 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ianus.zhaw.ch\/international\/day-5-getting-in-touch-with-the-tibetan-culture\/dsc00984\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3562\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3562\" title=\"Horse ride\" src=\"http:\/\/ianus.zhaw.ch\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/DSC00984-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"826\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As soon as the group was reunited we headed back to Lanzhou where we arrived in the evening.
