Today is "5.1" International Labor Day, we do not idle, 8:00 to get on a rented 4500 Toyota off-road vehicles, soldiers made Everest base camp to the water. The journey went quite far, has to go through Yang Zhuo Yong measures Lake, Nagarze, Gyantse, Shigatse, Lazi, Tingri and so on.
After a Qushui Bridge, turn right, it embarked on measures to Yang Zhuo Yong Lake roads. This road is very dangerous, coiled in the mountains between the lesser curvature the greater curvature constant. From time to time I have to pay close attention to the handle of the vehicle in order to maintain body balance. Heard that there have been a result of excessive tension and put the car handles snapping, steep roads is evident.
Climbed over 4794 meters above sea level of the gambara Yamaguchi, beautiful lake on the show in front of the sheep. Its slender shape of soft, like a blue ribbon around the mountainside. Distant hilltop high, you can see a huge white radome, there is the world's highest radar station - gambara radar. Soldiers were stationed on the radar for many years in this tough place, and I salute them.
Bad weather, when the vehicle is winding down, when the lake came to the sheep, the weather has been Qingzhuan Yin. The weather changes do not affect our mood, and some even began to dance in the lake. Sheep Lake along the way to go to the road even more rugged, more and more gloomy sky, A moment later the snow finally Piaoqi. Snow Daoshi little, the wind is biting tight. His companions have got caught up down clothes, I was still a sports coat sleeve sweater, Actually, I'm feel how cold it seems a little fat is not any good at all.
In the county town to eat lunch Nagarze, taste pretty good, the price is also reasonable. After lunch, continue to work towards Gyantse, roads, overtaking the higher card Yala came to pass, the elevation is over 5200 meters, but fortunately, there is no altitude sickness, it seems physically okay. There is a glacier, it seems quite spectacular. Like with other attractions, there are also some Tibetan greeting visitors holding yak-riding cow photo.
Rickety climb mira Yamaguchi, the sudden change in weather, strong winds wrapped in large group large groups of snow roaring. Cong Juli looked, snowflakes sideways like a fly over to us. Has also cast a shadow over the road in front of a layer of thick fog, even the experienced and knowledgeable drivers are also extremely carefully master Gesang up, not even the slightest distraction. Climbed over a pass, the snow does not mean that to be smaller, on the road, the fields, branches have been piled on a layer of snow, car window occasional farmhouse flash by. At this point seems to come to the northern winter, almost forgot they were in May in Tibet.
Do not know how long you drive, Gyantse County finally arrived, the famous Anti-British fort ruins on the mountain were here. Barracks site is actually the year Gyangze local government, where it is located in the hillside, the imposing majesty. Way back when application of the Tibetan army to fight the British invaders of the feat can not help but fascinated. Braved the snow up the hill, but was shut out in the ticket was originally inside the fort there are several buildings collapsed, temporarily opening up, and had to live to regret away.
Leave Gyangze, continued on our way, do not move much farther, the snow had stopped. When arrived in Shigatse, the weather has been completely clear up the. Shigatse is Tibet's second largest city, more than 3800 meters above sea level, known as the world's highest city.
The next day would also like to hurry, had stayed to sleep early.
