Like to travel, while the western plateau, snow-capped mountains, as well as the people living there, seem to have a more different kind of emotion. This is an indescribable want to go close to want to know, want to experience the impulse. Therefore, it has long planned to go to these places, and "Tibet in leather-covered books," as described, including Qinghai, Gannan, northwestern Sichuan, northwestern Yunnan and Tibet. Know who to listen to train South Korean friend said, this piece of sacred land, foreigners have had another one called that "China's Switzerland" because of the snow-capped mountains snow, beautiful scenery, and much like the European Alps .
Gannan is planned for this year's second travel locations, the first one is the Qinghai Tar, New Year's Day to go. In August there will be a thinking and planning, and Ctrip posted online. One after another a few friends to join, but I until a few days before departure are still traveling the Northeast. Finally, the morning of September 29 back to Xi'an. Well, according to the scheduled time, the evening of September 30, let's get going!
---- Fang Ming Dong

The first day (9 / 30) 18:05 K119 Xi'an - Lanzhou Tip: If Golden Week travel, to buy K119 berth or seat even if, otherwise, it is recommended to sit K173/172 (Qingdao - Xi'an - Lanzhou - Xining), K227 / 226 (Guangzhou - Xi'an - Lanzhou), K377/376 (Shanghai - Xian - Lanzhou - Xining) and crossing the car, because a particularly large number of people under Xi'an, and would therefore be easy to fill the berth or find a seat.

The next day (10 / 1) Lanzhou - Xiahe pretty unlucky last night, and even a seat can not be found to stand for several hours, still in the ground in extravagance newspaper edge of a pool sat a short nap, until the only seat of Tianshui. Tragic Oh, it seems that the impression that only the experience of a long time ago. However, it was OK, quite over, and would also think that Meisha Well.
7:00 arrived in Lanzhou. Because it is the first time to Lanzhou, but also the morning, it started giving me the impression was not good, especially near the train station, I feel quite broken. However, with a road vehicle open to the west and found that the construction of new urban development is quite good,
Very modern. If the return trip he had the opportunity, be sure to stroll.
Bus ride a Qilihe Station, back away tens of meters is Qijuxizhan. Time is 7:30, I thought surely buy 8:30 Lanzhou - Xiahe's Iveco bus (fare 44 yuan), Surprisingly, asked, tickets sold out early. Fortunately, there is overtime cars,
Bought a second overtime cars of the votes, Yutong, belonging to middle-grade it, fare 32.50 yuan, less than 8:30 to set out.
From Lanzhou to Chengdu highway is the 213 national highway, but for unknown reasons and began a period did not take this path. But go first 212 National Highway, in Lintao County Kang Jia Ya to the west by the mountainous county, and the fact that Linxia city, county, sub-taking 213 national highway, has been the south.
Lintao County to Linxia city, Muslims are basically the way the road on both sides to see the beautiful mosque at all times, as well as in front of Babel (since my own name, specifically what is really called do not know, only know that the role of imams Station to the above, called everyone to come worship. But now have to press the tower loudspeakers, seems to have no people are crying it.). What impressed me most is the wide River County, on both sides of the house looks very clean and tidy, surrounded by the kinds of flowers, fruit trees, poplars, as well as irrigation canals, a little southern flavor. Wanted to come to this place should be more prosperous bar. Unfortunately, can not stop, according to several mosques photos.
Linxia gives the impression that mess, though the development of the economy looks pretty good too. However, before the street into the Linxia Daoshi beautiful scenery, surrounded by hills and mountains of trees, a kind of familiar. As before in the United States New Hampshire and Vermont border where the two states to see the same scenery, very somewhat similar. It seems sometimes look at the scenery, you have to jump out in front of scenery, return to the memory, there will be a different kind of experience.
Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture is into Xiahe, that is, the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Junction is probably called tumenguan, there is a symbolic door, door-post on the Tibetan style, obviously, very friendly; while next to the high ground is a white pagoda, welcome friends from all over. Suddenly, I felt, into a gateway into this piece of land had not the same, because God watching you, in the bless you.
Xiahe in the mountains on both sides is too beautiful. I do not know what kind of a long mountain plants, leaves sub-multi-color display, with red, yellow and green, there is a gradual transition, with their clusters of round and round, like a carpet. Previously seen the introduction Jiuzhaigou photos are also most impressed by the color of the layer upon layer of this plant is suitable for Lex, or painting the middle.
We came to this piece of God's land!
Smooth the way I finally found an unpleasant thing. Check the car was stopped because of overloading, fine, but for a long time not let go, I do not know how the boss and the police negotiable. I'd took the opportunity to go a long way, a nice scenery on both sides, the air Yehao; two to see if there is not altitude sickness, feeling pretty good about the results. To Xiahe is 3:30, and a full two hours late.
Dolma hostels on the way to go, invited to the Mount of Tingduo Sangkecaoyuan, as well as help us find the hotel that morning was filled Droma. We continue to walk, went to see Droma.
Jin Zhuo hotels, no shops, and through the owner of greeting, was training a few words, hastened to apologize, I feel the Xiahe not the same as this place in the end, local, though small, can be and the outside is really dealing with more people than the big cities but also polite. The future should pay attention to these sections, because this should be.
Dolma there room, I felt great. My roommate and three foreigners, two Atlanta students, a Tsinghua University student. Okinishi room window, open the room door, full house, sun welcomed me. Too fond of this very moment, and in such an environment, time seems to be static and really make people feel a kind of quiet. On this piece of quiet in the face unwashed, shoes are not off, and quickly wrote those words. At this time 16:30.
A short break, wash my face, to turn in Labrang Monastery,踩踩point. Up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning the decision to turn upon, and then to see lamas their morning classes, listen to them chanting in the morning after big hall is free and open. So the sun can be according to some framing phase.
Back street in Xiahe Xia Guang, bought a top cap, very cute, unfortunately it was green. Fortunately, I do not have a wife and a girlfriend, or else they become the laughingstock of my colleagues. In winter and I should be very green down jacket with.
Mix night insisted the Tibetan taste traditional food, looking for home snow-covered restaurant, point of tsampa, Tibetan package, yogurt, as well as ferns fried rice, A mess, in addition to yogurt, sweetened with honey taste good after the other also try a loss of appetite. He still seems to eat Sichuan food bar.
Tomorrow, time will be tight, hoping to arrive dagcanglhamo evening.
---- Note at the Droma hostels

On the third day (10 / 2), Xiahe's Labrang Monastery, Xiahe - cooperation - Maqu roommate last night, two of Atlanta students, woman from Paris, France, men from Norway, it seems a pair of lovers. Tsinghua University students from the United States in Boston. Three very talkative, I do not know whether there edge after the meet.
At 5 am, get up, disturb them.
6:00 to turn around by the Road, there are already many local Tibetans in turn upon. The weather really cold, and winter is almost said to a few degrees below zero here, all night. But the sky is surprisingly clarity, crescent moon, the stars, so clearly demonstrated in front of us, but also saw the familiar Orion shiny gold belt. Turning the Road is very long, very heavy through the cylinder is very high, spending a lot of enthusiasm in order to turn. In this cold and dark environment, they are tired to turn the classics, perhaps also illustrates that for turning the people's piety. Including us, albeit free edge of faith, more just want to improve understanding, but at least that period of time, that contain a certain awe and pray.
Babble flowing next to a large Xiahe, water sound great, issued the roar of rushing water, to accompany them to turn on the dark by the people.
Suddenly I have an idea, thinking of those people who may have been transferred by the need to work Ganhuo day business person. It is precisely because busy day living on earth, there is no chanting of time, so every morning and reciting the daily must become their spiritual life to do the early lessons. As we have occasionally seemed to Mosha, every day so, I think there is no share of piety, certainly can not insist. Those of us tourists, can only be a bystander, passerby. At best, occasionally integrated into one or two of the pious, there is a belief most people understand and respect.
After a full turn to go for an hour, Ting Lei, but are quite happy, because it is not cold, and my heart is also a hint of flame in the combustion, as to be able to burn as long, do not know.
Rushed to the Great Hall to see through the morning classes, and the imagination is different is that there are not many of the monks inside. Originally thought to be filled throughout the lobby, actually, only one quarter, concentrated in the front of the statue chanting. We walked quietly, near the door mat to sit down and listen to them chanting. Moment, a very burly armed monks came, hint me up, can not just sit here. Hurry up and stand to look at the door. That Lama seems like the functions of monitoring, with the tall yellow hat, dressed in the robes tall shoulders, behind the dragging very heavy very beautiful silver belt. The most powerful is the hand holding a large iron bar, boxy, very long, like a Buddhist vessels, large lamas from time to time in this first knock a knock on the floor to warn those who do not concentrate on a small monks chanting scriptures. Every knock about, apart, Wang Dan's voice on the loud chanting of some, neat number. Very interesting. Later, asked Langmusi know, that big lama lama known as an iron bar, which specializes in educating, small lamas were afraid of him, especially those who do not pay attention to.
Then came a short while, it seems there are two on duty each time. Lama iron bar high position, we have seen chanting ended, there are two little monks dedicated to help them carry an iron bar.
Think of New Year's Day this year to see monks chanting in the Tar Monastery, a kind of familiar. Although I am not a Buddhist, nor a letter or any other religion, but the kind of piety, the kind of sacred, or moved me. I think perhaps in my mind is God, and I'm looking for him. Everyone, have a heart of God.
Remember the last night Dolma hostels and a British chat, talking about religion and science issues. Old English says that science is a religion, I said that part of this, but overall there are still differences. Religion is mainly think, that do not confirm, can not confirm, it is basically spiritual. And science is the practice for more confirmation, but also able to confirm, so basic is physical. However, there are two points is the same: First, both the exploration of nature, thinking; second is as big as the side effects. Also like hiking, different people, some Muslim, some Christians, some Buddhists, some are followers of benzene, and some do not believe in anything, from the same, are at the foot of the mountains and began to climb the mountain of life. We should all go their way, uphill route is different, but the same destination. Although the arrival at different times, but the results are always the same thing.
So, how to treat others the route of the problem, then decided the world is full of auspicious qi, or hostility, and even Xueguang the air. Old English said he came to China to study, and learning about different cultures. I think he is in fact also in self-cultivation, and, like me, and everyone else, though from different countries have different skin color, speaking different languages, eat different foods.
Dawn of the Labrang Monastery do not have some fun, choose a few good points, according to several phase, to enjoy the Tibetan Buddhist temple architecture charm. Before I left, two young monks also found along with photography, one of the river called the Tashi Gyatso, when the time does not forget to send him the photo.
Two and a half hours, we turn finished Labrang Monastery, decided to withdraw, coachman to Langmusi. This year, although did not look at the various Buddhist temple, but the feeling of already packed full, and a worthwhile trip had. Check back Drolma, Atlanta's two friends have not come back, they are prepared to go to the afternoon of co-operation of them to leave a bar.
10:10 Xiahe just to catch up with China and Pakistan sent to the co-operation is very smooth, two hours later to the co-operation. However, problems, and there is no co-operation between dagcanglhamo afternoon, the car, and crossing the car does not it say there are any. How to do? Are thinking and found that there is actually sent to the co-Maqu car, I heard five hours or so up, 12:20 to drive. Think of the same, anyway, go Maqu on a change routes, first Maqu, Zaiqu Langmusi bar, is also smoother.
Co-operation luqu poor road conditions, bumps may not, have been sleepy for a while, Ke Hao Britain several times almost took me out of his seat, not daring to sleep. Involvement ah! Beauty out of the window to see the price.
After a bola village along the way, I wonder if there will be feelings this Milutinovic. Also see a lot of small black pigs, kept in the outside run around all over the world, actually the smallest dog is only as big as I do not know what the species, be opened horizons. Although the dirty black pig, but it stresses health can often be seen bathing in the mud where oh.
Very charming landscape of grasslands, although some yellow grass and it is very short, but Lex was good, every seat had a mountain like Phi yellow uniforms, or built a soft quilt. Relative to the strong ultraviolet plateau, this mountain, this is really the color of grass is a kind of eye protection, may be compensated bar. The hillside full of grazing sheep and cattle are black dots one by one, the sheep, is an small white spots; while in the vicinity, must be 1 or 23 black and white yurt, which is the home of pastoral mobility of people, from here flow, where the sky like clouds. This rate of increase across such a static picture. Watching the sheep grazing the hillside suddenly remembered if there is Cipai name or ditty is called "Shan Poyang", the original inventor who is perhaps obtained from the immediate inspiration Cijing it.
Car to the wrong-ning, we can well see the sea Ga. Originally from here to Maqu no good roads, and now newly a provincial highway S204, all the asphalt surface, directly south, from the Ga coast through, really good to go. This section is the best walk in Gannan line section of the road. And both are wetlands, water 9 are more than 36 bend, do not know how making. Nature is truly amazing!
Car walked, the sky suddenly it began to rain, followed by a small sleet. Cars climb to the top, suddenly saw an arch-type thing, the front did not see what is written in words, see the opposite, and could not believe, is actually "3902 meters above sea level." We actually inadvertently crossed such a high altitude, and even then there is no uncomfortable feeling. (Tell me do not laughed at, everyone's ability is not the same, there is no meaningful comparison with others, only to challenge their own limits of meaning.) Purports to be great potential, after a last attempt to Xining, and this Gannan, the next can be considered to go to Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet line.
The Maqu of, and the imaginary were somewhat different, may be a mess on the street on the construction trench. Lucky to find hotels, stay there. Asked the boss how the Yellow River in the first song, Ma said that in the southern mining on it, more than 100 kilometers away from the Maqu, there is no path, go to the car, did not return the car (surprise ah). Most people can be chartered to the 400-500 money. We have two people, and time is not so abundant, well, not to go. Tomorrow plan to the Yellow River Bridge, the grassland to see, and perhaps still riding it. If tomorrow be able to ride to the Langmusi stay there, the better. Very tired, so be it. Chang hand-painted along the map.
---- Note at the auspicious Hostel Room 310

The third day (10 / 3) Maqu, Maqu - Langmusi Yellow River Bridge, from the first county seat of Maqu really far away personal power tricycle ride to go look at the young man tired of Deng Ju, whose consciences are moved, midway on the the next, and a walk in the grasslands in the past, but also very interesting. In this way, let us have encountered Zhang Ga, a read to the third-year, troops on horseback, wearing large glasses of ordinary herdsmen. Chatted for a few words, a film together and had arranged to go back to his tea. Finally walk to the first bridge of Yellow River in the first song is really quite spectacular. Very clear water of the Yellow River, as big Xiahe, Tao clear water. Surface of the water is very calm, basically can not see it flowing. Under sunlight, waves Linlin, truly beautiful. While the other side of the river, it is a dark whirr of yak groups and shining white one of the sheep, sometimes stationary, such as a large black and white blocks of color, sometimes a reminder in the shepherds ran off the flow of up fast.
This time, yellow prairie grass has been a short, there is no Qi Bayue were when the green and lush. However, grasslands, distant mountains, the Yellow River water, cattle and sheep, as well as rare, have a sense of quiet atmosphere, they should not have some flavor in them. In this place, it seems that time flies slower. I think that watch is not needed here.
Grasslands prairie dogs a lot of rat holes can be seen everywhere. Pop out from time to time from a local one, from before you ran fast to want to give it to a close-up are often not cooperative. To buy bread at the Labrang Monastery to lure it into the hole, the results did not succeed. Really not a good model.
Go back to the Ga Zhang Jia Zuozuo. They are a good customer, give us boiled milk. Kinda easy to drink tea with milk, there is no imagination so difficult entrance, in addition to ordinary tea, there is a distinctive & the milk fragrance. Ga Zhang Yang had 50 cattle, 100 sheep, long year, there should be 10000 dollars of income bar. We went to the pasture now, when his family home, a black yurt. About 4-5 months each year are the kind of life, fixed home is a brick house, not far from this. 3 homes, enjoyable, from the smiles on their faces can be deeply felt. Yurts of the furnishings are simple, the middle is a stove, they used mud puzzle, the shape is very unique. The door on the left piled dung, burning up a very prolific. Fireside is a bed during the day and then when sitting mat. In the yurt the middle pillar, hung with Buddhist pictures show their devout faith.
Tibetan mastiff with his family chain Shuanzhao, ferocious and dare not tease it, or roar scared straight with your heart. However, do not provoke it, then there is also good as gold would remain silent in the sun lying on the ground. And horses, as they are a good friend of herdsmen, and we should treat them this way.
Ga Zhang generosity in giving us his house, horse riding, horse is God-jun, is also very strong in general usually do not borrow. So for the first time riding a horse, feeling walking up and floating, like a prairie wind drift. But always feel that it is only polite to me face it, I had enjoyable. Really want to ride well, then it must first cultivate their feelings.
Zhang Ga wave and say good-bye, saying that when the good to send photos to him. This friends meet by chance is often very memorable, because you do not know whether there are opportunities for the future Zaiqu that place, to see his friend. Like Zhang Ga, it may then there is never a chance. Therefore, to cherish this experience, I say to myself.
Afternoon, the car did not go Maqu only rental. 150 money, found a van, starting around 2:00 to go Langmusi. Maqu to Langmusi about 60 km, the actual 2 hours do not have to come, while the previous data that often two and a half hours. Are small gravel road, but also, I think the speed is generally in the 60-80 km / hour. Passing through the territory of the middle of Sichuan Province, I remember there was a place called the flood, the driver said that there is a raised rainbow trout where the fish factory, a Korean investment.
Langmusi arrived around 4:00, before the bend on a slope can be seen Langmusi panorama, beautiful.
Our arrival time is not very clever, a lot of people went to the morning. Therefore, hotels, guest houses, all full. Fortunately, in the bridgehead and the two monks talking, the met the landlord, so to live in his home. Coincidentally, the next door is the famous "Lisa Restaurant", but also relatives, Lisa's boss is the landlord's wife's sister. Landlord home is Muslims, at home is very clean. Although there is no hotel official, but also very quiet, really good live. Only his family dog almost everywhere, and Shuanzhuo straight chain also jumped, shouted at us, too scary.
To lay down their luggage, rush into the mountains turn a lap,踩踩point. Tian Zangchang than farther away, decided to try his luck tomorrow. At this time, heard the temple came the Drum, deja vu.
Lisa definitely have dinner in a restaurant. Online, compared with previous learned, Lisa seems to be more localized appearance of some, is that ordinary Muslims people. Until it entered the room, from the wall to remain a variety of text, pictures, coins and other small ornaments, they would understand why she so famous. Here, really feel there is no distinction of nationality, are backpacker, are passing through, from different starting points converge in this beautiful little place Langmusi to find what their looking for.
Apple pie is delicious, but do not mistake, and the McDonald's apple pie is not one thing. The former is a cut apple slices wrapped in flour, put it out of the oven baked; while the latter is used in apple stuffing.
Nestle instant coffee, and my own band, like, next time to avoid a bar or a drink Babao tea. Fried noodles in general, may be put more meat, and vegetables too little reason. The atmosphere is indeed a class worthy of backpackers sit.
---- Note at home Ding

The fourth day (10 / 4) Langmusi, Langmusi - Lanzhou

The landlord's son last night and slept with a kang. Lad called Ding, 16-year-old primary school, and now the mosque chanting, there are already three years. Are learning to preaching. He said that Muslims here if you want to develop this aspect of religion, generally at the local chanting three years, and then to read Linxia three years, and then to Beijing to study a few years, finally have the opportunity to study abroad, is estimated to go to those Arab countries. But imagine this road a plain life, so he is the main consideration of the money to marry a wife. Muslims all came here, married early, men 18,19 or so to get married. And intermarriage is rampant. Like Ding home, Lisa and restaurant owners is his aunt, his aunt's daughter Daisow is that his cousin. End of the year to prepare Ding and his aunt go with another Sichuan Songpan, open a branch Lisa restaurant. Hope that he can succeed, that time in the Songpan'll be able to see him.
Ding also said that in Langmusi this place, before the Muslims, Han less, mainly Tibetans, I often bullied by the Tibetans. Even then Muslims walk in the street, the Tibetans can run up grabbing hat, threw on the ground trampled Ji Jiao, while the Muslims did not dare utter a sound. As time changes, communication between the various ethnic groups, more and more with each other more and more harmonious relationships between, but also learned to respect each other. As in Langmusi do business mostly Muslims, Tibetans in their restaurant to eat in their stores to buy things.
The mosque five times a week to do a day, many Muslims now can not always go to, so imams - Ding told the teacher - very angry, regular education of people who do not come to worship. Can see that religious beliefs and social moment in the fight against the development environment, how to develop their own is also a problem; although the problems are already in existence, but from beginning to end will be here to stay.
Langmusi The first is geographical names. Although a small local, but no small reputation. First of all, it is the blue end of Lang Road; Secondly, Bailong wear Township and before, northern part of Gansu, south part of Sichuan. Temple is also, within the Sierra Leone Red Monastery in Gansu, which is usually referred to Langmusi; Sichuan Nagel at the end of the territory of Temple, in addition to a mosque. Gansu Province had also built a mosque, the location on Lisa restaurant across the street. But the construction process, the Tibetans have been strongly opposed, it shelved down.
The Langmusi, Bailong is actually a stream, but the large amount of water, water flow are also extremely anxious. Human guidance, from the villages through the two-pronged. At the same time, it is also a ready-made line, put into small villages on both sides of Gansu and Sichuan. Streams, there is a concrete bridge, there are many distinctive wooden bridge. Hui's house, some on the built in between the two streams, Bailong murmur and before, Tingyou Emotions from the Perspective. Walk along the creek do not see a big water truck, can have, under the impact of slowly rotating in the water. Above, the house was locked, it is estimated with a mill inside.
A small bridge, flowing water, others, the distant mountains, temple bells, a monk, Hui, as well as tourists, this is you can see a picture Langmusi.
Langmusi most famous than burial, where the burial open, you can buy a ticket to visit. Although the Tibetans, it is disrespectful and is a desecration of the sacred.
6:30 on the morning we set off to Tianzang Tai luck to see whether the dynamic and static. Is not yet dawn, fog large, flip over the back of the mountain to see the top of the hill stands the streamer, where there is a Tianzang Tai. And previously learned online is different from the mist, I walked Tianzang Tai ago, did not find any and death directly related to things, such as blood, bloody axes, clothing, debris, etc., only to see is a burnt pine and cypress branches of residual ash.
For a people, here or say that this xintaizi is that he stay on earth where the last one. Here, through the Eagle, will bring back his soul to the world of God, that he came to place. Therefore, also the home.
Listen Ding said Tian Zangtai there are two, one for the Tibetans and the other is for monks, not together. We went to this I do not know whom to.
From the Tianzang Tai continued to move up to a higher peak found here is yesterday's paper to see where monks sprinkled incense. At the time really unforgettable scenes. Far from the foot of the mountain to the hill-top view, Hui Yan curl rises a tall Lama to the Quartet Sazhuo by paper, the mouth should also murmured through the bar, it is one of the soul and the divine dialogue.
7:30, really thick fog, we have to go back through the hall to listen to monks chanting scriptures. Iron bar Lama is very good, but hands let's buy a ticket. Only buy it, go all the way Gannan has not yet bought tickets for it, can not be justified ah. Trot all the way down, ticket, or yesterday, that smiling monks. Enter through the hall, surrounded by Xia Guang, see the Buddhist murals and see piled high full of the classics, but also to see lamas playing with a variety of musical instruments, read a will after blowing several more Fahao, knock a few drum cymbals. This is ahead of Labrang Monastery and the Tar characteristic. Only a few monks chanting through the hall, I heard that there are other places to study, there is only one.
Monks chant scriptures in the very focus, and a lot of desertion. Lama dignity is not enough iron bar, iron bars, smaller than the Labrang Monastery to see more, actually only half of it urges, a wooden pole outside wrapped in a layer of metal, the top half of it urges the rope. The Labrang Monastery of the iron bar, the long, rough, small lamas were carrying away. With the comparison, that the lamas Langmusi commandment appears to be less than in one of six major monasteries of the Labrang Monastery and the Tar-formal. Listen Ding said that the Living Buddha Langmusi do in Beijing to prepare for Shiliu Da. There are monks ran to the boss of Guangdong to the chanting, one income 5000-10000 per month. Moreover, a lot of the local monks still gamble. It appears that populations of any religious belief, there is always lost its lonely.
The Hall Lane finished, went to the yard to study and then debate the scriptures. Then see Zhong Lama chanting led by the head, nowhere to be seen, a ferocious, especially those eyes, but the voice is really pleasing to the ear, then the vigorous, there should be magnetic. After finished, after the first left. Because monks and between the iron bars, asked the question Babao pattern, after the first come to me, give me answers. In fact, in the middle of pattern that contains two treasure, namely, Triton, and Lotus. A closer look, really is. This time, through the head seems to change a person, grin, very cordial, and there definitely is a good time to chat with the object. It's strange, after the first-known Buddhist Eight patterns, iron bars, Lama actually do not know, he's governing education呀.
Years before When browsing through the hall, but also secretly to the inside of a small temple visited some. At first sweep of the monks are not allowed to repeatedly insistence, allowing us to turn a lap. Buddha inside is really over, but put together, gives the feeling like a warehouse-like, because the ground placed several statues of that gave me the impression that it is temporarily stored in this, in some specific days may get out of the . Otherwise, such a small space for so many statues of Buddha, for the first time to see if the anomaly.
When other visitors to the debate by the monks still camera, we are down, and now it is 9:30. Atlanta on the road again they encountered two students say hello.
Hungry, without food breakfast, cold days, in particular, to Lisa breakfast bar. Fried eggs, chocolate, apple pie, yogurt (and Xiahe eat almost), as well as eight treasures tea, a burst gobble. More than ten minutes to pack up ready to return journey. Take the month to Diebu of the car, the money to stand a bridge, and so on back to Lanzhou car. 11:30 or so, Diebu to Lanzhou Iveco arrived, just there are seats, along the way, then 21:30 to Lanzhou. One night, sitting next morning the T118 back to Xi'an, the end of the Gannan trip.
The most important thing is to hurry back to photo wash out and re-look at this memorable trip aftertaste. In addition, the recall measures to the Labrang Monastery of Tashi Jiang, Maqu of Ga sheet and the Ding Langmusi send photos.
