6:30 early morning of October 1, arrived in Lanzhou. We immediately do as the Romans, in the taste of the most popular local Jinding Lanzhou beef noodle chain, after the southbound immediately on the bus, went straight to Linxia City.
Car out into the Road, Lanzhou, the temperature decreased, urged us to have put on a thick coat. The navy blue of the sky, in high spirits in the bleak autumn in the poplar stood in at the roadside, so that I can not help but think of Mao Dun's masterpiece - Poplar praise, I think of barren land in the Loess Plateau, tenacious roots of the Yellow River.
Linxia After a brief stopover at noon, we bumpy mountain road, relaxing body massage free of charge for nearly four hours later, arrived at the junction of Xiahe County, Gansu and Qinghai.
Labrang Monastery in Xiahe county in famous Tibetan, Labrang Monastery in Xiahe County, West, back according to Yongsan, in the face Fengshan, was founded in 1710, has become Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan and the region's largest Tibetan religious and cultural center, but also of the Yellow Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, one of the six metropolitan temple, but also the world's largest institution of Lamaism and its stringent admission, teaching, examinations and graduation system as the Tibet train a large number of religious people. The southwest corner of the gongtang pagoda was built in 1805, formerly known as relief now see the big urn, because the tower worshiped in Nepal welcome the measureless light Buddha invited the Art Institute of Chicago. Pagoda style chic, sophisticated technology, art and religious significance in the construction has reached a perfect divine realm.
Labrang Monastery is nearly dusk when we arrived, when we boarded the Sunning of the Buddha in Taiwan, one dressed in crimson cassocks, "aka" (ie, novices, and only the senior elders of the monastery be known as the Lama) in the hillside looking at the Labrang Monastery on the static, it seems that the Buddhist and pondering the meaning; while gongtang pagoda at sunset, under the brilliant shine exudes stunning and fascinating of the golden light, the two constitute a fairly profound meaning, it is reverie picture, I did not hesitate to have captured the first of this trip photos.
In order to arrive in time for the Sangkecaoyuan before sunset, we are not made to stay in the Labrang Monastery, immediately drove westbound. Sangkecaoyuan is located 10 kilometers southwest of Xiahe County, it is up to long beach township Sankoh ( "Happy Beach" in Italian) as part of the grassland is surrounded by mountains and surrounded by the middle of the open flat alpine grasslands, lush, scenic elegance. We avoid the recruitment of Tibetans riding, straight inaccessible depths of the grassland. When I look around and get off when he was shocked by a sight. Million mu of grassland, a golden, grass had grown tall and dense, high and knee, autumn wind swept, grass waves ups and downs, truly be said: the green and wild and fog, wind-swept pastures see the sheep and cattle. I really wanted to open limbs lying in the nature of the bedding on the ground for a bed in order to cloud cover, close your eyes, the light in the sky full of stars, accompanied by sleep.
As the sun sets, time is limited, not my reverie. Looking at the distance, rolling hills in the sunset of the mapping under the pan-fired warm yellow, undulating mountains like a gentle curve of the body beautiful, here is a small group wide back; that girl is tall and straight Yufeng, the slopes of the Xi Cao subtle fluff on the skin, appears to be so delicate and rich texture. At this point I had to由衷地感叹great and wonderful nature of the insignificance of self-pride.
With the setting sun gradually take refuge in mountains, the mountain yellow skin slowly been dyed brown red, now published in the mountains showed clear three-dimensional painting-like effect of yin and yang. Nature in the use of pigments and methods of its magic constantly changing images of our eyes, so I have seen intoxicated, intoxicated them.
