Left in good time, some spectacular scenery along the Karakoram Highway. The lake itself was a bit of a disappointment, which started with being accosted by some thugs demanding RMB50 for an admission ticket. Put up a bit of a protest but smelled a potential for violence, so coughed it up, though not without staging a derisive protest. On the way back, came across a bunch of people standing on the road. Then saw that their bus had plunged over the side into a ravine and was lying upside down. Couldn't believe I didn't see any injured. A soldier commandeered my taxi and rode with us down the road a ways, till we got to a checkpoint, where he got off.
