It is very important to get a good driver. Yik and I were just very lucky that we met XiaoWu (小武) and XiaoMo (小莫) and had them to refer us to a responsible, friendly Tibetan driver – Zhaxipeichu (扎西培楚) . Even on the bumpy winding roads in the mountain, Zhaxi drove quite fast, yet very stable, that I felt safe enough when sitting in his car. And because he drove so fast, our ride from Meili to Shangri Las had cut short for almost two hours.
Btw, only until when we said our farewell, Zhaxi told us that he is a champion of a Shangri-La rally race 
Here is Zhaxi’s business card. He told us that he also gives rides to Tibet. Yet, price is double of what he charges for Yunnan – 1000 rmb / day. He explained that it is due to the tough road condition and high gas price in Tibet.
Hi Sandy
So did the driver cost you 500 rmb/day for yunnan?
Yes. 500 rmb/day
Hello,
We are going to Yunnan in one month. How can we contact them?
Thank you!
You can find Zhaxi’s contact information on the business card images.
