	Amdo
		Amdo is Tibet's northeastern province, and most of it was swallowed by the Chinese province of Qinghai in 1928.
		This is in rich farmland but Amdo is mostly high rolling grasslands which can be wet (middle right photo).
		The Goloks who live there made travel there dangerous before the Chinese subdued the bandits among them (most of the population - it was regarded as a worthy pastime) and now they just string up prayer flags everywhere (top left).

		This picture is a good depiction of the mostly canola seed and barley crops of Tibetan farmers.
		The elevation of Amdo is much lower then the farming valleys found in the Tibet autonomous region, which should allow them to grow much more diverse crops.
		However, most of the Tibetans in Amdo still choose to grow traditional crops such as the ones pictured.
