Seems to have played a lap card, squint of the two small sensation, Jiayuguan to go. Because the elevation has risen to more than 2000 meters, we girls are a little mild altitude sickness, nausea, or the ear uncomfortable. Few people sleeping off The sky is still dark enough, because it is the plateau, the stars are many and close, hazy in the site there is a closed city to see a miniature sculpture. Little wind, a bit cool, needs to wear a thick coat. Jiayuguan station is small, and the lighting is unknown, a stand alone surround you N number of taxi drivers, and asked whether or not to cars. Here we call the two cars sent to hotels. Jiayuguan mostly Xiali taxi, (reportedly the city a total of more than 400 taxi vehicles, of which only 50 cars Santana.) Signs consistent, but cars are relatively new. Starting at 6 billion, but we have not verified, since a few days after the driver in order to attract business and promised to send us 5 yuan hotel.
Before their departure, I had great looking Ctrip online travelogues, and in accordance with a Journey called traffic hotel reservations at the same time ask them to help return ticket booking K44. One on the taxi, the driver routinely recommended hotels. However, in our request, he reluctantly sent to the traffic of our hotels, but do not know for whatever reason, our room actually had not been retained! Or listened to the words of the driver, which he sent to a Post Office Hotel. Bargain between the standard 130 yuan / night, room Fortunately, the smell of newly renovated too large. Is a 24-hour hot water, solar hot water, however, the fits and starts, taking a bath a little pain.
In accordance with established plans, today's itinerary was a 71 glaciers, Guan Jiayuguan City and the Great Wall first pier requires a full day. Us to run to purchase return journey tickets, to lay down their luggage, wash my face on the out the door. Them to stay, or the driver, he gets a driver familiar with the glacier, on a good price of 380 / car. One after two cars hit the road, Peter, Marshal, and Yuki are relatively thin, the three men sat in the back is not too crowded. Out of town before the driver took us to a small restaurant to eat breakfast, steaming bowl of beef noodles, as long as 1.80 yuan a bowl and eat it immensely. Additional supplies at the roadside, made out of freshly baked bread, as long as 5 cents a. Wahaha mineral water 2 yuan / bottle.
Chiba Fan the road, because the attached two nights are not good to rest, and some drowsiness. Glaciers in the side of State Road 312 Po up a fork in the road, passing Jiayuguan City and Montenegro reservoir off the road's left hand, you can see the rolling snow-capped mountains, it is Qilian. Weather a bit cloudy, visibility was not particularly high, otherwise, must be very clear snow-capped mountains. Automotive gradually moved into the mountains, the driver said that the biggest enterprises Jiayuguan Jiuquan, where abundant iron ore can be mined 60 years. Sure enough, the stretch of hills were the only germanium red, is the iron-rich performance. Winding mountain road vehicles very few good roads and do not hope, as the South Hill Road, then around the less risk. Way to turn the one called "soil Osaka," where more than 3800 meters above sea level, where you can clearly see the peaks in Qilian Mountains, a good camera. We stopped taking pictures, I trot a few steps, then do not feel pain immediately behind the car up.
The back roads are nothing new, over and over again of the Rao Shan, you can see there is a great group of mountain sheep. After that there are one called "out of Osaka," the road is more than 4000 meters above sea level, all the permafrost on the launch of the gravel road, and turning many and large, speed forced to slow down this section of track in some danger. After a here, a good way to go up again. 71 Glacier is about 170 km from Jiayuguan city, but because the mountain difficult, driving the need for at least 3 hours. We are lucky the road was repaired this year 11, and many drivers are not willing to up the past, and now cars, you can always open until at 4100 meters above sea level.
After a fall of Osaka, the street suddenly more a river, and occasionally there are herders yurt and Shepherd. Because of the water, scenic Smart is also up, small pieces with small pieces of Populus euphratica river was born, and the crown is the unique yellow-green in autumn, some even too bright yellow, unlike Beijing, poplar, leaves not on, then off the light yellow transparent a. This section of the Garden of Delights we were able to enjoy beautiful scenery, before the cars with the lost.
With the end of the road suddenly, turned out to be a checkpoint, the driver alighted puzzled inquiry, This know we have the wrong path, has come to Tieshan mine, glaciers should be right before the fork in the road. Immediately turn around, and the roads met the vehicle in front, they returned to come to us. At this point, we would have thought such a minor incident will trigger a day does not go smoothly. Because our driver did not know the road so the car is still in the former. In a hairpin bend, the vehicle in front stopped suddenly obtrusive. Everyone's first impression of a car accident! However, looking from behind, as if nothing major. It became clear, however, went up to the situation, because to go retrograde Xiali line, and hit the side of a Mitsubishi Pajero, Pajero okay, but the leased vehicle can no longer be opened. Fortunately, the car did not major, only the User in a little girl sitting in pay because of driving and hitting his forehead. We are thus delayed. Our driver to send them to the nearest hospital Tieshan mine, and we had to at the roadside so. The driver of a car accident people are stupid, and has been kept repeating: should not be out of this matter.
Fortunately, the scenery beautiful, tears will not be people of leisure. Road are two folders rely in the mountains along the roadside is Natiao river, the river full of ice melting snow, very clear very very cold. I have never seen anything like water, like natural pure TANSEI green, hard to depict. Flow ups and twists and turns encountered boulders thrown up the white spray, lovely river full of gorgeous colorful stones, the shore is the autumn of Populus euphratica. Both sides of the mountain is not worth looking at, all Laili Tou-like sand mountains, gray bald bald, yet this river is so valuable to create a small ecosystem, I actually have also seen a jump mouse!
The mountains the temperature is relatively low, I have put on a sweater and velvet jacket, that does not feel hot. Brought us a chocolate pie got altitude sickness, and all of a bulging into small fat. Do not know how long before they finally returned, and indeed all right, that is a bit scared. Only more than 20 kilometers away from the glacier, they could not bear to give up. Problem is, now that we can be of a taxi by.
Our truck drivers agreed to send two batches of our first mountain, and then from the foot of the mountain known as the Ministry of the car to pick them up. Fortunately, mine from the Tieshan close, can go to the mine phone, or in such mountains, Shiji Li to not see people and vehicles, mobile phones there is no point signal, really want to starve the.
You basically satisfied with such a solution, we re-starting their journeys. For this episode, until 13 o'clock before we came to Glacier point.
Wai on barren hills and valleys, hillside hung a narrow winding path, twists and turns no end - This is our way to go. Met a visitor in the parking lot, she said she only had five minutes left on the down, distance is really hard. We smiled, began to climb back supplies. Foot of the mountains encountered an old lady down the mountain, and we asked her how long the mountains need to go, and she inclined us one: Do you back so many things, absolutely can not go up!
Then how could that be? We are all so young.
Up the hill a long way to simply incomparable. Online said the car at 4100 meters above sea level, glaciers at an altitude of 4,500 meters Office, the remark is true. But it does not say that this mountain is different from the Mount Fuji - has been climbing as long as you will be able to reach the snow line; this mountain requires that you first turn the hill a block before it can close to Glacier. Do not look at only a few 400 meters of the drop, however, a long way to be tortured you!
This Church geography and biology lessons are vivid:
* At 4000 meters can also see grassland, and then further on is a thinly moss lichen plants, at the end to simply have nothing, leaving only bare rocks;
* For every rise in elevation of 1,000 meters, the temperature dropped 4 degrees - Jiayuguan temperature of up to 25 degrees, however, even at noon the hill dressed in sweaters and thick coats also felt the cold wind biting two hours after the surprise Piaoqi Little Snowflake;
* When people can easily lose their strength in the cold, we wear on all the things, again lost in the semi-Road lunch, however, decreased physical or fast, a dear friend down the mountain was also kindly told us that go to the mountains each sub-heat is precious;
* Mountain sickness is the enemy of climbing, we have reached the pulse of 120 beats / min, to later take 50 steps each, I have to sit down and rest a while, but I did not like when posted Huangshan too unpromising.
Why did our predecessors how to talk about how good ice, but not give any valuable tips then? Because the accident delay of time, and physical enough, we had to distance from the top there is 1 hour journey time to back down. I'd do not regret, but began to doubt whether they have the strength to Tibet. Peter is very regrettable, he said that if time permits must reach the ice tongue. However, I absolutely can not afford to take him up the regrets.
It seems good to go down the road some, but still tired, sat down on the roadside plants at rest, her bottom under warm, and the. The sun is getting lower, the wind colder the. If the next time someone prepared to come here. Requests must be brought, and only with the following equipment: down jacket, Mianmao Ku, hats, gloves, chocolate and the necessary water.
We are 5 points and the driver agreed to join at the foot of the mountain, but the foot of the mountain did not see him, think it is delayed or car. Yamashita without buildings, piercing winds, we find everywhere Shelter. Hope the stars and hope for the moon, finally heading for the big car, the only one!
Another driver said a car to wait a while to get to, you can sit first fork in the road of the yurts. Girls go first, then later the boys again.
So be!
The yurts fork in the road three kilometers from the parking lot is open Tibetan family, the raising of the five majestic big black dog, for exchange visitors stopping for a rest, jump the queue, there is a modicum of entertainment projects, bag did not fire, which is just outside the less wind, Peter and Peng Po girls head into the bag to lie down in one. Good Tibetans rushed us hot tea, open the Kara OK. However, we are all one mind waiting for a train come down the mountain as early as possible, not in the mood to sing. Days gradually dark enough, cars are left-right and so on and so on do not come, the driver and a User impatient, ran out to find car. Tibetans come to gave birth to a fire, we have six Weizhuohuolu sit down, anyway, is so, we relaxed mood. When Peter learned that he was not comfortable with just a normal reaction to high altitudes, withered people immediately lived. Wait until 7 o'clock, and everyone is also called a side soup to eat, taste good, that is too salty.
The boss came back, over our toast, toast sing songs, highland barley wine wine is pure, full-bodied and not on top, a glass of each of us did.
About 8 o'clock, when the driver finally came back, he kept a pile of reminders we have quick, out of the yurt warm outside, completely in the dark, deep foot shallow foot tumble climbed into the truck. In the Xiali light, I saw that they got from the original car is still intact after the accident empties the Mitsubishi Pajero. They sit Pajero three injured, four of us are still sitting Xiali. Is the off-road vehicles off-road vehicles in the end, put a short while we did not throw a shadow child. Down the road dark and dangerous, the driver had an afternoon to run around a little bit tired, and open popular fibrillation. 4 hours after 12 o'clock before we return to hotel. Kwan had also planned to visit the city at night and the first pier, all wasted. Back to the hotel people are tired of the flat, and the driver to be ready by tomorrow's trip, the end of a long day Only.
Is an episode in the morning of 30 hotels proposed yuan / Zhang booking fee after we entered the room rose to 60 yuan / Zhang, or bar set. However, after the accident, then 3 User little things, the next day we have all of their road trip, we started four of the Dunhuang This.
