The coveted Tibet, I was finally able to put your arms. Although the journey difficult, but everything is so memorable.
July 8: I and the other three girls boarded the train to go to Kunming. Along the way poker, chat, time in our laughter in the slip.
July 9: afternoon we arrived in Kunming. Kunming in the train-friendly introduction from a friend, we checked into a widely Park Hotel, ready to fly the next day's morning flight Zhongdian.
July 10: Our plane is more than 7 am flight from Kunming to Zhongdian. The van actually had an appointment with us to fly. 5:00 am more than a quiet street in Kunming, and only occasionally a car driver. As the backpack too hard to find two taxis, we hung the heart can finally put down. To the airport, something unexpected has happened. We even find that we take that flight CHECK IN areas. Zhe Xiake Oh! The few of us have to find separately, and the back of a big BACK PACK, that taste can really feel good. Asked a lot of people to the ticket and realized that we had been cheated. End of the ticket is written, is Zhongdian, while the airport is displayed as Diqing, indeed, let us a false alarm, thinking to canceled flights. To the excess baggage security check, I really admire himself, obediently, I BACK PACK There are full 17KG, can not think of bar! Around noon, we are finally in Guangzhou with the appointment of four men in Zhongdian poly head. In determining the vehicle and the road, we purchased some local Tibet's dry food and drinking water.
July 11: We have not even hire the driver and his entourage of 10 two Toyota jeeps, and finally embarked on the road to Tibet. As the two drivers are the local Tibetans, according to local custom, we must first Songzanlinsi near the prayers to pray for a safe journey home.
We live in is already in the Zhongdian plateau, fortunately, is that we do not have altitude sickness, cold does have a point, but the medicine to eat on a hook. THANKS GOD!
Leaving Zhongdian, the mountain continued to rise, slowly turned into the dense forest of bare gravel steep mountains. Highway gently like a ribbon around the mountain side. Che Xingzhi mountains somewhere, we encountered a heavy fog, visibility down to 5-8 meters at once, as this is our first time in the high mountains under the conditions of this journey in mind, some can not help but be afraid. But then we found a large roadside slopes Shanghao wild flowers, red, yellow, such as Fuchsia, in such a wonderland in a very aroused love and affection.
Our car has been running in the transverse mountain road is poor, wandering between the speed at 20-40 km. Occasionally, when the car stopped, you can really feel what mountains. Exposure in the sun, under a seat sweeping mountain grass, giving a false feeling. It is this untrue, so that you feel like being in a model of military operations which, a little pointing Jiangshan taste.
Climb up to the moon, while we are still rushing night in the Lancang River Road. 11 pm or so, we have finally entered the territory of Tibet, Yunnan-Tibet Highway in Tibet reached the first County - Salt county. Day's bumpy day's dust, the time we reached the accommodation has been a hot-water supply time. But our driver who was a heart, to find a place where you can bathe in hot springs bath. Although we have yet to eat dinner, but everything after we wash the comfort of a good hot shower then we'll talk!
July 12: Car left the riverside, but also on the Po Shan Road. Hill is still the towering mountains that the road is kind of bumpy. 800-1000 meters under the peak is still accompanied by the line of the Lancang River. And the car in such an environment feel a tiny.
The afternoon, we had a long way. I do not know whether it is actually quite road. Car stuck between two mountain walk through, which was recently caught in the middle of the flood washed out to the mountains, there are 70-80 meters wide. Road workers and soldiers have started to get busy, and engineering vehicles from time to time during the shuttle. However, the road can really be found.
Road is not good to go. Days did not black, we are in a little place called bamboo card inside stay there in the depot. It was a depot surrounded by mountains. Stationed there for 13 years listening to the company commander said that because of the mountains, where the winter is not too cold.
July 13: We found a nice little bay landscape, we discussed a moment and decided to camp here. We soon had the division of labor, the small driver and a male compatriots drove to a nearby village to buy pots and firewood, while three fellow men, and older drivers, bar tents, girls picking up again in the vicinity of some firewood. All are ready to or less the same time, the driver took out like a magic-like nets, fishing nets hanging to have a male compatriots. Harvest can be really good, 10-to-minute appearance, has been hit by more than 20 fish in the ranks.
In the Sandy Lam's - at least you - singing under the Fei Mei and old drivers, danced a dance, and our bonfire party officially began. Instant noodles, canned food, sausage, handcuffed fish, fish soup, it really enriched; singing, laughing, bustling; there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, but also secretly hiding in the clouds We are the envy it!
Late at night when the days they played a heavy rain the next.
July 14: In the morning together, the four of us found a tent outside the ocean, rucksacks and clothes are all wet. We discovered last night, did not check at the entrance of the tent zipper pull good. Later, Fei Mei also told us that she was a little no sleep at night. Because of the rain too much, and she worried that tent water, so moisture from time to time to test it under the hand is wet. Fortunately, we have not been soaked in water. A place to camp clean-up into the original appearance, we set off.
Clear understanding of Uzbekistan night we checked into the depot, the depot's vice station Let's treatment of female compatriots will enjoy a head - we four girls were admitted to the two double rooms, then head of the lounge, but it!
July 15: the driver was right, Ran Wuhu is indeed a beautiful place. Lake green hills, the water calm as a mirror, while the distant snow-capped mountains in the clouds little shy of half of his face exposed. We are walking beat, and sometimes climb climb low, with the murder of film from different angles. When I was in hiking only when I really felt on the plateau, each rising a few meters, I would have Qichuanruniu feeling.
Originally intended to camp at the lake, due to not buy the sheep, plans had fizzled out of. In fact, the mountain lake there are groups of sheep, but we called the Lao Bantian, I could not find a shepherd. It seems our luck too well.
The evening, the driver let us put on eye drops to visit a Tibetan village. The beginning of the Tibetan children look at us strange and scared. Our Tibetan Tibetan with a small driver to try to talk to them, although the local accent different, but was soon dispelled the gap between us. Children are no longer as escape, as the beginning, but from our hands take away eye drops and food.
July 16: Since today is basically to go back now, so we decided to study the Tibetan language to small drivers. However, we found that the Tibetan language than English, or even French, is immune science, there are some sounds so you do not do not understand what parts of it in the end is sent to. For example, nose and small drivers to teach our Lao Bantian, only one person could give more accurate sound, the other three are how the sound is wrong. Daoshi we teach English to small drivers, the smooth, basically he can not have our correct his pronunciation is really interested.
From Ran Wu went to Qamdo the way we bang through the grasslands to see the most complete one full lunar eclipse. We are a small car drivers are confident that this is Nintendogs eating the moon. While he sounded his horn while still cried, as if the moon should eat Tengu off. Little Driver's move is not an individual. As we passed villages, also see the same situation. While Later we explain this to the small drivers, natural phenomena, but do not know whether he can understand and accept.
July 17: The whole Qamdo are busy access road shall be commemorating the liberation, people filled the dust seems to have become accustomed to the.
We are in such an environment in a tour of Qiangbalin Monastery. At noon return to residence, the intention to continue the road, the driver tells us the bad news: the road ahead collapsed. We really give trapped! First, the front dengqen - Bazing section collapsed, followed by the Sichuan-Tibet Litang - Batang paragraph also collapsed. There are Yigong early section collapsed before our departure, and to listen to the military command said there was no road for half a year's time is a bad repair. In this way, we only backtrack land is feasible. But we do not retreat. Tibet is our dream for many years, finally came to, we can not go back this way.
Heaven always leaves people a way out. Qamdo nearby military airport and a civilian aircraft landed. The news seems to give each of us a shot booster. We are getting busy up.
July 18 -7 20: We are all busy for the ticket. The best plan to be flown directly from the Qamdo Lhasa, but unfortunately only one flight per week. We had to take Quxianjiuguo line, the first flight in Chengdu, and then fly from Chengdu, Lhasa.
July 21: set foot on the aircraft, our hearts finally settled down. Tibet on the way we fly, and then 2 hours later. We also fly into this piece of sacred land of Tibet and enjoy the stretching peaks of the heroic.
As the auspicious full member of the hotel, and we live in a lucky hit an eight-Long learning hostels. Small hotel in Lhasa have some bulletin boards, which is set up specifically for travelers. You can find the right line of the above, time and travel companions. If you are not desirable, and you paste a big deal, wait a day or two, travel companions can be found. The eight co-Long study the most we hope to places that can stay free of charge for those clothes. This brings us back to Lhasa after the two were admitted to the eight-Lang study, and to a lot of dirty clothes to the attendants, while we ourselves are to enjoy the day and night in Lhasa.
July 22: That fellow decided to advance Ali, while we continue to advance the line as originally planned, resulting in groups to Lhasa in the early decision of the San Huo.
July 23: We pack up the luggage, set off to the Everest base camp. Played up and down early in the morning rain, seems to be a bad sign. The results we missed the beautiful calm Yamdrok Lake. Displayed in front of us Yamdrok Lake in the rain in quiet and beauty, just the occasional one or two birds flying over it only adds a little angry.
July 24: Today the road is muddy. Lazi saw a car go through the three most difficult sections. The first two we have successfully passed. And met the team trapped in the two big wind Poles. Their car stuck to the mud, and hope that our car can carry them to a trip. We Erhuamoshui agreed. But they did not take long on the train, our car also fell into the muddy fields. Jack, stone, and even the nurse of the King we have to make on the. Car finally delivers the goods out of the mud. Drivers, thus beginning to believe that two foreigners had brought him bad luck.
Along the way the Polish boys to tell us about their experiences, and that girls as English is not fluent in Russian and the boy only occasionally exchanges. In this process, we discovered that they like us, they like to eat in Xinjiang Taipan Ji. Along the way we are all very pleasant conversations with. The Polish boy was also surprised that we speak English so well. This probably stems from his ignorance of the Chinese bar.
Night we came to the foot of Mount Everest a small town called Xegar. Drivers, poor road conditions and into the mountains in order to examine the reasons, saying that the two foreigners are unwilling to bring Mount Everest, then we also had to give up the idea of the.
July 25: We are finally at 2:00, when standing at more than climbing Everest base camp of Mount Everest and the waiting time is not far in front of us. As the clouds are more Everest is temporarily unable to see the whole picture, we have decided to wait. Although there is a strong overhead sun shining, but living in more than 5000 meters wearing a down jacket bursts of us still feel the chill. We waited in the cold wind of more than three hours, after 4 games hail later, Everest finally show his face in the Shy. We are blessed! Should know that many travelers is to wait a day or two failed to see. Everest to see the moment, I did not even know why shed a tear, I just feel like it, if your loved ones to close.
July 26: In the way to Old Tingri, we can finally do not regret to see panoramic views of Mount Everest. It is so pure no time, so that you can not bear to close your eyes, afraid of missing it again the next minute.
Out of the old Tingri county, we found that the roadside two familiar faces - two Polish foreigner. They also intercepted by the roadside to the camphor to ride on. Although our car had been moving forward more than 100 meters, our drivers or the car fell back. When they found us, we direct exclaimed "CHINESE ANGEL". Because they have been waiting there 4 hours straight. Have not yet willing to set a car on them. Compared with yesterday, they did a lot of red sun, wearing sun glasses places have left a visible mark.
After Nyalam car after the green side of the road more up the mountain began to decline. We unconsciously into the mountains, moisture and heavy mist are up. We went to the camphor, a small town bordering Nepal.
July 27 -7 28: backtrack Lhasa. From camphor wood, we found that to the time when the green hills have been put on a white hat. Another plateau you really unexpected weather changes.
July 29: Lhasa rest in preparation for Nyingchi loop tour.
July 30: whether it is elegant strokes out wind and rain do? Sheung Before long, we encountered rain.
Departure from Lhasa, and our car has always been a beautiful asphalt roads in the Mercedes-Benz. This is the best road into Tibet after the section of the road. The road landscape and the way we had previously taken over the past not quite the same, and really deserves to be called the Jiangnan of Tibet, the green a lot more than the previous road on both sides of the growth of the bush. Our car drove along the Niyang, the rain finally stopped, the sun came out. We have found between two mountains and a rainbow, which we have seen in Tibet has been the most beautiful. Everest has seen before in the foot before, but this color is not the present one is more brilliant.
July 31: We Basongco a small room off the lake the night. Early in the morning we went to the Wonderland-like tour of lake-ri. That was an isolated world, and from the traffic is only one row of pull-rope raft. In addition to several of us on the island today, there are two things came to the island from Shigatse monastery monks pilgrimage. To see their devotion to religion, so you have to sincerely admire them.
As the road ahead is not a good reason, we did not stay in the town of 81, but arrived at the Millington.
August 1: Early in the morning, we follow the agreed upon time to prepare to continue the road, but right-left, etc. were also not seen the emergence of the driver. Inquire about a driver Jiaozhong only know what we had and can not be driving. This time we are worried because our workers should be back in Guangzhou, but this time is just planned. Only when we informed the driver where the travel agent, after leaving the driver rest and recuperation, we ourselves would like to remedy the damage. To move forward, traffic is not good, but not rent a car, time can not be guaranteed; it seems that we had along the way returned. Thus we were four girls crammed full of butter-flavored Barry returned in Bayi Town. In the Bayi town to celebrate "81" Army Day, meaningful bar.
August 2: Fortunately we are in the final few minutes to buy a ticket back to Lhasa, but luck does not always come to us. The road from Lhasa to 81 are the asphalt road, we at least believe that they can successfully go back. Who knows after a cloth in the river reach is not as long, and they know in front of landslides, Zhe Xiake good, and our wishful thinking once again disappointed.
The landslides, and our car to wait 10 hours and thought no problem through the cave section. Could be the problem happens again in our car - the water tank leaking. The results we have arrested people at an altitude of over 4000 meters of the mountain through a long night, feeling really never forget.
August 3: the car was finally repaired. When the car speeding, my heart flew back to Lhasa. In our view, Lhasa is like our home, a home can be replaced dirty clothes, the comfort of a hot bath. It feels so good!
As we come at this time did not run into the Sholton Festival, so we chose to auspicious days of the mad cow restaurant, enjoy the traditional Tibetan buffet and watch Tibetan Opera. But here in Lhasa thousand popular places to eat have to order it in advance.
August 4: In the travel agent's help, we came to the outskirts of Lhasa, a large funeral Taiwan secretly watched the mysterious burial rituals.
August 5: Two girls boarded the plane back to Guangzhou in advance. And I and another girl with an appointment in advance of a couple and one in Hong Kong to Beijing embarked on a trip to Namco. If Yamdrok Lake trip pity, that Namco is making all the compensation. Entrusted God's blessing, we see two different posture, Namco.
Nam Co in the sun is like a blue gem embedded in the green grass. The lake sparkling in the sun suffused with golden light, in the Tashi on the island that we quietly waits for the arrival of sunset. The spectacular sunset we did not see, but we have seen not less than a sunset - the sun and the clouds in the mountains between the injection light is also shiny red shiny red lake clouds, as if all this is to melt as a whole.
To see not a sunset, there is such a harvest is not bad. Would hope that tomorrow you can see the sunrise bar.
August 6: waking up when I heard the rain, it looks likely to watch the sunrise is gone. However, a tent, I give them to the overawed in front of scenery: the sky gloomy, as if the lake should hold him down like yesterday, still in the distant peaks have all gone out of sight, leaving only a light green while waiting for the lake alone. Outdoor cold, wind is also great, I can not bear to leave it for such a view, Dai Li in the lake, a long time reluctant to leave.
Car left the lake, but the more open the more wrong, how the earth formed the white light, look at the distant hill, the green of the hilltop yesterday has been replaced Wonderful Time I Spent prime wrap. Under the original, early this morning a snow scene suddenly have changed. Come to the hills when a thick snow cover, so that our cars have to be careful to move forward. Looking back on high ground Namco, she has become so unpredictable and mysterious.
Because we have decided out of Tibet by the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, there is no truck back to Lhasa, but the station's stay there a while Heroman.
August 7: Take the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is another objective is to see if we can come across Naqu Horse Race Festival. The results we have inquired into the Naqu Horse Race Festival will begin on the 10th, so we decided to Damxung Duodai a day trip to the Yangbajain.
Experience tells us that our predecessors, to the Yangbajain can Chengpian car, but because the period of trying to fix the road, not easy to cut-off vehicles. May God's mercy, we are staying at home and it has found a bandwagon. While on Heroman the station's home to a team investigation, Lanzhou Institute of Qinghai-Tibet railway survey team, they just have a car people will undergo Yangbajing, and can bring us.
Get off, we can see that spring is far from the rising water vapor. Goal seems close, but Wang Shan ran dead horse, we have spent more than an hour to get there before spring. We are disappointed that the spa is not as described in the book, leaving only a pool and a geothermal power plant. To listen to a power plant here, 10 wells of the workers say the situation of many years ago really spectacular, but due to the development of geothermal, we have not see the fountains and geyser of geothermal energy. Return, we sit down at the most senior Tibetan road car - the wind fields 4500, it was a group of Cantonese, they are also preparing to go to horse racing Nagqu section.
August 8: We have left to Nagqu the. A few days ago a girl in Shenzhen due to the introduction, we decided to cut big Dongfeng road, abandoned bus. This is the first time we really stopped ride. At 9 am, and we stood in the depot hailed the door, but the car Or else we stop, or to ask your destination, and then drove silently away. In this way, until 13 o'clock number that we successfully stopped the car and said good price. It seems difficult to ride up and cut. Great feeling of sitting in the car with the jeep ride completely different. In the big wind, we have lofty, much of the scenery in front of the windshield so that glance. It feels special stick!
Do not have some flavor of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Straight asphalt roads pass through the green grassland to the sky, while the blue sky and the blossoming clouds, as if to come to earth with the flocks of sheep and cattle to make one with like.
August 9: Naqu Horse Racing Festival very hot, especially the residential areas. Is that not right last night, still living in Nagqu hotels, today we have to find a place moved. Heaven helps pays off, we have found a place to live close to the Jockey Club had.
That night, Nagqu does not seem to calm down, everyone is busy section of tomorrow's race up.
August 10: Naqu Horse Racing Festival has finally opened its doors. In the way to the venue, full of people Sheng makeup, child care and women flocked to the opening ceremony. Outside, a tent surrounded by layers of good laps, there is a place to eat, there are games where there are like family to bring festive tent. Tibetan women, and that a decoration that makes you wonder, turquoise, red agate, silver, pigtail hung a heavy Needless to say, I heard that the value of even more shocking. A Tibetan driver told us that the less a complete set of clothing was worth one million.
Taste of Tibetan costumes and exquisite beauty of riding, we stopped another a big wind hit the road. 10 pm and more like our car through the famous Tanggula pass. After also pass, I saw her first snow. Start a car outside, it began to rain, I do not take too much notice. Climb in the car, outside of the lamp's reflective rain worsened, Gezhaojuchuang rush to my head over, so I have a feeling of exposure time tunnel. At that time I noticed white street has already begun, and outside the snow! It was snow, why it was so strong reflection.
August 11: Qinghai-Tibet Highway, though the traffic arteries into Tibet, but we also can see the occasional vehicle passes through. After a five beams, rolling the Kunlun Mountains on the show before our eyes. Weiwei Kunlun Mountains, I do not know how to use words about your heroic movement of people, I can only用心去感受you.
14:00, we arrived at Golmud, Qinghai, but also announced that we achieved in 2000 of about Tibet.

One-month trip to Tibet, we have the laughter, there were tears; we help others, they also help us; have good luck, but also the unfortunate time. But no matter how, the way the scenery along the way make me an unforgettable experience. I take this opportunity to travel companions with the same aftertaste joys, and friends to share their happiness.
