As my Tibet Airlines flight to Nyingchi was taking off in Chengdu, a thick array of clouds surrounded my plane and I couldn't see a thing out of the window. By the time the plane had risen to cruising altitude, the sky had cleared up.

I could see a thick layer of clouds below, covering the land like a wool carpet. About an hour later, with the changing sunlight, I could see that the landforms had started to change, from fluctuating mountains to humps and deep valleys, from snowcapped mountains to peaks surrounded by clouds.

The plane slowed down and I could see the mountain peaks soaring into the sky clearly. When the plane took a turn, the wing almost scratched a mountain top.
