May 2, 2001 Wednesday, sunny weather
7 am to get up, pack up a good pack a hurry on the road. Mountains along the road most colorful, and gentle, people could not help but give birth close to the heart. As yesterday's heavy snow, better snow accumulation on both the Peak, but they are not yet a true sense of the snow-capped mountains, "flourishes saying again", the laughter.
Auto climb Gyatso La Pass, at noon arrived in Da Lazi county. Lazi is a typical Tibetan town, buildings are mostly distributed on both sides of the road, size is very small, estimated at less than the mainland, such as the size of a town a little big. After lunch the road, the road winding-on, the road was covered with large and small gravel, rugged than the mountain above the sheep among the best in the lake. Going up the Peak, vision suddenly see the light, one mind for the smooth. Vertically, top of the hill a stone, it tells me is called here, Gyatso La Pass, elevation 5220 meters. The monastery is surrounded distance, is a tall and straight peaks, beautiful and aloof, as if it alone stands between heaven and earth. Gyatso La Pass has a huge Mani Dui and is the sound of wind blowing fluttering of the streamer, relieved against the blue sky clouds seem exceptionally holy.
Is still the same mountain road, bumpy, car almost skipped down the mountain. Yamashita is the new Tingri county, but the name has been called Xegar of. Xegar also seems there is only one street, but let me surprise surprise, here was newly built in a three-star hotel - Everest Hotel, which is so tall and stately, and the dilapidated little houses here are so out of tune, as if there should not be here.
Shortly before the trip came to Lulu checkpoint, here is Quwang Everest and Zhangmu an essential gateway ports. We took the border after registration certificates and identity cards 11, to continue the road to Mount Everest. Damage the road into the mountains is even more incredible, the speed of motor cars and like crawling in general. However, there are a lot of track maintenance workers are relying on their hands are hand-side, to open up a new path. When the car drove by, they waved friendly to us, but I sincerely to them a thumbs-up.
In the last pass (where the Tibetan Dubbed the "correcting it," meaning beard), the distance can already see several peaks over 8,000 meters, but the misty is difficult to get glimpse of picture. Because of erosion during the rainy season floods, coupled with some sections are being repaired down the mountain more difficult to identify, and even the master had Gesang lost its way several times. Fortunately, the warm and honest every time Tibetans in time for us in this direction our gratitude and emotion hard to describe.
Mount Everest has always heard that the weather near the complex, it is difficult to see the "third goddess" in hosting the Games, we all spontaneously began to pray that God show mercy, do not live up to one of our sincerity. Perhaps it is our sincere touched God, when the vehicle around a ridge, the beauty of Everest suddenly appeared before our eyes. Maybe it was too sudden appearance, perhaps it's the United States deterred us, and we suddenly were silent. After a long time, before carriage burst into cheers. Finally see the hearts of the "third goddess", and an oxygen-deficient heart excitedly Pingping bounce, I do not know when his eyes were blurred with tears.
Accommodation in the Rongbuk opposite point of accommodation arrangements, they hastened to enjoy the sunset of the goddess. In the sunset of the light, a more soul-stirring beauty of Mount Everest, see I was stunned, and refuse to leave, a bone-chilling wind is Hun Wang wanton attacks on me.
At night, month, Lang-Xing thin, enveloped in the moonlight in the Everest is even more mysterious. Not contain himself excited, and two friends went outside to bring photographic equipment on the open space under the moonlight shooting Everest. Although bold people, art is not high, but also do not know how the effect of shoot-like.
The other, the day we lost quite. Tripod a bad way to Britain, because of strong winds in the Rongbuk too broke a tripod, UV lens 1. However, the so-called "get any errors there must be" able to see Mount Everest is the biggest compensation.
