D5 (10 1st): Jiayuguan 71 Laughton Glacier night, 4 o'clock finally arrived in Jiayuguan City. Because it is early morning, the temperature very low, wearing a sweater coat was also frozen straight tremble. The streets deserted, but very clean, see urban planning very well. Played three of finding a hotel, the driver took us all the way to switch are all good hotels, very expensive, but the basic are also inhabited. Cold and hardship, not too particular about living in the best hotels in this line of the Great Wall hotels, Samsung, and standard rooms to more than 200.
8:00 collections, deputy squad leader had been rushed to the Jiuquan bought a second day in advance to the Inner Mongolia EJINAQI back after the long-distance ticket. Package of a public light bus (550 million) to the glacier starting. The glaciers of the day to find named, of about 4,300 meters above sea level, is the world's glaciers from the city recently, the driver said that only 138 kilometers, mountains, water is very clear, you can directly drink. Opened about two and a half hours, we went to 3,4 kilometers away from the glacier where cars can not be opened only on foot, the starting height of about 3600 meters. As the attached delicious days slept well, overexertion, I have not already feel upset stomach began to climb, I thought I did not care about stomach guilty. Did not expect that more and more uncomfortable before come to understand is because of altitude sickness. Think Mountain, Emei is to climb from the foot of the mountains, and this point mention the original road, but this is really suffering altitude sickness were ah, up onto the hundred paces to have to Xieyi Xia, nausea, asthma will not do. Local taught me to pinch the palm of tourists, the Zuanxin pain, but very effective. Miner and altitude sickness Xiaojun also appeared, his face dark, there are several on the unconscious in the street Xie Zhao. Peers of the boys is basically no problem, girls almost the physical does not. This support to 1,000 meters away from the glacier, about 3920 above sea level where it does not survive, and 11-strong team on the seven down the 4. Hit the road to go back for some more difficult to walk in front of visitors said that too steep, it was in the final 100 meters, or give it up. Fills fills Although it seems unfair, but fitted up and saw the ice of the glaciers wore snow-white crystal, and can not catch the little life. All the way down the mountain much faster, but the mountains wind, blowing cold wind, the. Occasionally along the road down the mountain after the tourists to see glaciers, several are now holding ice, icicle, and each walked quickly like flying, down the speed of Qikuai, terrible ah!
Back to 3600 meters height, is still uncomfortable together down the Miner, Xiao-Jun is also a splitting headache, then follow the car down the mountain has to be down to 3300 meters height, in the local minority Yugur tents nap for a while, feel the spirit of a lot better. Besides all of you on the mountain, the glacier was very cool of a drink of ice water, photographed, really envious. But perhaps a hurried down the mountain (mountains 3 hours, down 2 hours is pretty quick, and we were too many teams pulling a long, spent a total of 7 hours or so) without food for lunch, drank the ice water, in the glaciers on the sparkle of the "Energizer batteries", sat down in the car are all very tired, almost everyone Tude Huntianande. Supposed to look best in the world embankment and Jiayuguan tower plan because everyone Weidun announce the abandonment of the spirit of the car straight back to the hotel.
Looking back, how much the whole day without food, only a few pieces of bread, a few chocolate only, together with altitude sickness, it has long full-Tude thousand and the net, although everyone still feel tired, what the eat. Except for a few not particularly comfortable, and a pedestrian to a nearby restaurant, shops taught how burning Paofan, but also a point of table vegetables (only 2 yuan a!!), Eating a light meal. Squad leader comrade in the end is an example, ah, too late to eat on the borrowed bike go and the first major hotel to buy apples. Estimated to be hungry, faint, and even hit the pavement of the wire grid of a shirt torn, and Oh, definitely catch up with the latest fashion trends in Paris.
Tip:
Sooner or later, and mountain temperatures are very low, if you choose travel must Duo Chuandian, it is best T-shirt + sweater + coat, so to be able to adapt to changes in the weather the day at noon when the heat off the outside two, wearing T-shirt will suffice.
If you want to save a little, you can set another bed standard room, there is entering into the room with a sleeping bag that can sleep. As long as we have 11 individuals in three standard rooms, plus three bed, two sleeping bags to sleep.
Leave enough time for mountain climbing as much as possible, so do not have hurried. Have altitude sickness, then drink plenty of water, chewing gum will feel a little better, pinch the palm of the points are very effective. The best guarantee of the mountains before the break full, brown sugar, if they can drink water, eat Rhodiola the better.
