Alvin spent most of the day making his way to the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon.
This time, they had a local guide. They drove to Mêdog County, to a place high in the mountains that was like an observation deck.
Few people ever came here, but it was a good place to observe the Yarlung Tsangpo's water levels inside the canyon and monitor its climate.
