Gannan first stop is Xiahe, a Tibetan Buddhist has a higher status of the county. Xu is "haste makes waste" the sake of it, to the halfway line, the so-called "imported car" Nissan at a called the "Spring Tong" in place had broken down. Repairing a car by the driver when the mouth, almost all of the people are shooting off. Oh, one by one just like all photographers. I am naturally not far behind, Chuaizhe rookie class of equipment, get off "and to find inspiration." In this way and saw the two little girls, they are the Tibetans? Muslims? These are no longer important, it is important that, in her sister's eyes, there is a kind of inconsistent with her age, indifference, apathy, there will still a trace of innocence hidden very deep. This is particularly attractive is the look of me, finally they agreed to do my consent models, not just according to the two, but still there is a large group of kids into my camera. No sophistication did not conceal, dragging the nose of the face has a plateau-like bright sunny smile, pure pleasure. This is what I look for a long time to smile, is not it? Kids ah, my passer-by can give you nothing, only the blessings that you can never keep such a bright and brilliant smile, no matter how difficult life.
Time delays due to vehicle breakdowns, and we had to cancel plans for a shopping spree to Linxia, even if so, to reach Xiahe is also nearly dusk.
Labrang Monastery gave me the impression that is not as good as imagined. Due to an accident, accompanied by a girl and I got separated with the large forces, and we therefore failed to make a visit to the large-scale temples, where only the dust shrouded wandering aimlessly. Wanted to worship the Living Buddha, but what is not ready, and time is not enough, "Buddha crossing sub-tropical climate," bar may be missed. When I think about, it will no longer bear a grudge.
Labrang Monastery in turn was very well-known by the way, there were reportedly three kilometers long. After dinner, free time spent with the two companions Meet to turning a feeling of a very pious heart. Night without lights, dark one. Long, turning the road, in addition to our three barbarian, no shadows, and accompanied us, and the only street is always flooded with summer river flows. That's good. Once beautiful baptism by the cylinder through the years has become mottled in terms of manpower under the impetus of the wooden shaft to issue a dull sound, in the dark night of 4 Austin Austin dispersed, we will have a broad-minded and heavy beauty. In this way change the way, walk, thinking of life - this is too broad themes. Remains silent. Has completed half of the distance in the following way because they do not know, coupled with the fear of the dark hearts of the unknown is far more than the turning of the devout, decided to give up the idea to continue turning. Although there is no way to switch completely, but I was unusual peace of mind, no regrets.
If we say that the essence of the whole landscape in Gannan in Langmusi OK, then, with the same travel group of partners to get along far the most memorable section is the Drolma hostels the night.
As an evaluation by those who travel, as Dolma hostel "and a look at the people's communes outside, into a look at the United Nations" in nature, half of us who are destined to be with the two foreigners in the same room. Estimate is the time difference between Yang ass who does not reverse it, when we all live in Gannan group of "social bottom" (Dolma hostels on the first floor) and people are returning to the room to rest when the two foreigners had not returned. As a result, Droma hostels in 107 rooms in a very long period of time has become a sea of joy. We spoke a joke, joked, and even friends live performances, we always laugh to the muscles on both sides of sour difficult to come to a halt. It is in such hearty laughter, the playmate and the public that point the distance between the last disappeared. After that night, I recognized as what they really are my friend.
RealTime Game (10.2-10.3 morning):
Line: From Lanzhou to Langmusi full chartered and found an acquaintance, the price is cheaper, but the driver, poor attitude. From hostels to the Labrang Monastery Drolma can take 3 mo's, this road is not long, but the dust is particularly great. According to the best place is the Labrang Monastery panoramic sun a small hill where the Buddha Taiwan, can also take mo's go. Mountain wind, cold after the sun sets, to be sure when many clothes on, preferably wearing a hat, or else Fengyi Chui easy headaches.

Breakfast is to Dolma hostels hotel diagonally opposite a Muslim man to eat beef noodles, beef, Trinidad and Tobago, a high price. That store on the second floor, the staircase entrance is very small, a bit hard to find. However, in that way with several restaurants, nature and content are similar.
YOU: want to go to Labrang Monastery to listen to lessons we must catch an early morning, accompanied by friends who are arrived before 5:30, when the monks not to get up, get up early to listen to the monks get up and blow the horn, great sense of momentum . I was about 7 o'clock to the early lessons have been finished, a monk who has been through the halls to eat a breakfast. At this time turning a lot of people, good luck you can see a call-in head length, etc., but without their consent, it is best not to take pictures.
