Introduction
Golmud is a town to be avoided at all costs. It really only a stopping point for oilmen, miners and all things industrial or people trying to get into Tibet. The town was created when the highway was built and has always been the last town before the Tibet and really just an overgrown truck stop. Just spend as little time here as possible.
