June 27: Deqin - Napa lake - Songzanlinsi - Zhongdian to leave Germany early in the morning the new Tibet House floor, left back to Zhongdian. Because it is backtrack along the scenery has long been seen, we have began to doze in the car yesterday, I could go a little tired to climb Mingyong disaster. It is in this Jiaoyangsihuo sleepy circumstances, an accident happened.
10:30 or so, I am sleepy eyes dreamily opened his eyes and found that car parked in a foot of the mountain, this time the temperature is high, driving the wind blowing from the window is still felt cool, once the parking is very hot on the feeling. I do not know why this stay, but also believe that Master Liu driving 10 years and is quite discreet, so there must be a point. Thought of here cast a glance of a master Liu, Liu teacher happened to turn around and see I looked at him, probably missed the point, a step on the gas started climbing the.
Yunnan-Tibet Highway and Sichuan-Tibet highway we later walk is quite different, both the poor road conditions along the route are also more dangerous, take this mountain, the side of a cliff on one side is a cliff, its width has been to stay in my city person, that can only be considered one-way street, one to bend a bit gripped with horror and fear that if too late to head to car, and no room for the wrong car. Liu master drive more stable, usually prior whistle every corner, so we in a variety of sharp bends have never been dangerous situation. Today, this ascent Liu master unhurried opened, only about 20 kilometers per hour. I told him to drive very much at ease, thus gradually ease off.
Unexpectedly, there are still away from a big bend at more than 30 meters, when they had failed to hear any whistle, a Tibetan brands of Dongfeng truck loaded with pigs, a sudden head turn from the turn out at great speed dive down, see that we do not have the slightest signs of braking - when its speed of at least 40 kilometers, even if the brake is completely too late - and this way we are at a very disadvantageous position, Liu master response has been very fast, slow down immediately reversing, one side to the Yamashita retreated, as far as possible to the stone walls on one side by "Bang, bang" is heard, the rear has been hit the stone walls on the back no retreat, when a truck had come to the front, you can clearly see where the cab driver was dangling from the Tibetan smoke, very young face. I was already nervous too far instead, there is no fear, and feelings of unusual quiet and watch this monster to us pressed down, the two vehicles that were not considered in such a narrow mountain cliff, what would the consequences of a collision.
"Call" is heard to my awakened blankly, like a gust of wind, like the truck and the cliff from our narrow space between the sweep of the past, finally there is no accident.
Master Liu is the time I have never seen a master Liu, surface, such as ashes, pale and was not a little bloodless, well before a while to recover. Indeed, just the experience, he is taken by surprise, according to Liu chef later told us: This is a stretching several kilometers, the Baima Snow Mountain ascent is very dangerous, combined with hot weather, he drove for a long time braking system will greatly affect its performance of heat , at a critical time might not brake car. So he was prepared to rest at the foot of the mountain for some time, cool down and then up the hill waiting for a train. But before long just connecting with my eyes, he thought we can not wait to hurry back to Zhongdian earlier, and therefore hastened to start the engine hit the road.
But this time the culprit is not in this incident, but that is entirely in the Tibetan Maotouxiaohuo child. This is clearly a buy pigs from Yunnan to Tibet brought into trucks, big load, but also all the way straight downhill, but still dare to maintain such a high speed, but the corners do not whistle in advance, otherwise the master Liu could have prepared earlier to find a spacious place to stop and wait for him in the wrong car. Just now it is close call, thanks to the road is still wide, and we are firmly affixed to the rock walls; if not enough width relative to the two vehicles can not be wrong, the other side there are two options: First, we try to hit stop, first, the valley falling. There is no doubt that he would choose the former, life-saving important thing. He Zheliang old truck with a car is also the value of pigs can not be 50000 money, they can crash later abandoned the vehicle and fled, back to Tibet, went into hiding. Tibet is so great, but also the autonomous region, even if the traffic police in Yunnan insisted there was little to arrest the perpetrators may eventually bring him to justice. But on our side the loss may big, light Zheliang Iveco to say how the value of a Yiershiwan, and if with such a heavy-duty truck collided head-on, then the master with sitting in front of Liu Xue-Quan wife and I Potential non-physical; and a coach full of Returned Overseas Chinese out of such an accident, the Yunnan provincial government must be held accountable, the company also has no future.
Off view, hit a big deflated rear slots, taillights shattered glass also Zhuang Cheng. The truck Daoshi intact, luckily escaped after the frantic high-speed drive away, and for the "Tibetan compatriots," We also realize that the mood powerless to pursue the matter, also let him fled the palace.
Lunch is still in the benzilan Tibetan hotel boss to know the matter very enthusiastic willingness to testify, accompanied by Liu master to the local public security bureau issued the accident proved that the master Liu was able to prove to insurance companies relying on the claim, this is something for , put aside.
More than two in the afternoon arrived in Napa lake. It is located in Zhongdian, Yunnan-Tibet Highway to the exit Deqin Section Zhongdian County, is a seasonal lake on the prairie. Tibet lake known as the "sea", we passed along the Zhongdian Bita Lake, Napa lake, Inagi of Tara sea, colored sea, the sea of milk and even the spark of Jiuzhaigou sea, rhino sea, Jian Zhuhai and so on are among the In this case, with the Tibetan Buddhism on the Mongolian, Manchu influence of Beijing's Zhongnanhai, Beihai is also the resulting name. As a seasonal lake, Napa lake gradually with the advent of the rainy season into the lake, but also with the increasingly dry and cold winter, dry, and so endlessly change from year to year. However, due to various factors, in recent years, there are diminishing Napahai dry trend is worrisome. We have come at a time when the rainy season beginning, lakes and not yet fully formed, only the grass on the marsh just a few pieces, the Red Army in Sichuan Songpan area northwest of the plants to wade so presumably Dalv bar.
Napa lake is not a state-run tourist attractions, but by the development of the private enclosure, you can pay 30 yuan Qian Ma take you by the Tibetan groom walk around the lake, but need to be reminded that: just go only, whether we can from the groom have to see your own ride luck and eloquence of the. My groom was a Tibetan girl, from beginning to end tightly controlled the reins, I do not want to walk a few steps into their own, not to mention horse racing, and this more backward than the magnolia paddock too much. Groom is said to fear that tourists are not riding fell off an accident, it is in a valid point, but this place I will then not be the second time.
In fact, if, as a prairie Napahai to appreciate, then was good, we ride horses finished out of the Napa lake, sitting in full of yellow, blue and purple flower of the grass, the Tibetans used to rely on a large wooden drying barley shelves, looking at the large leisure brought by the yak, horse, and green and blue distant mountains, suddenly felt the touch of a so-called "Shangri-La" feeling. This is down is in line with a sightseeing tour of four of my years of experience, the feeling of a place more often than not from the deliberate development and operation of tourist attractions come on the contrary, often on the road in a small corner of inadvertently get The.
We drove to the left Napahai Songzanlinsi, Zhongdian is located in northern suburb of Songzanlinsi Heights, overlooking the Town to construct the sun shines, we are on the road have also seen that well-known breast hippopotamus shop, a Tibetan architectural style of the inn. These together is probably the British James in "Lost Horizon" where described as "the sun shine in the first place, the construction of the East Tong, human most Most Excellent place, is breast River Shangri-La." Bar.
Songzanlinsi also known as naturalization Temple, all named "Karma Dan Songzanlinsi", which thanks to the Dalai Lama, called V, "Karma Dan," said the Yellow Sect of succession established by founder Tsongkhapa gandaingoin, "Song Zan "refers to heaven three God Jeseoksa, Meng Lee, and Lou residential place to live," Lin "is the Temple of meaning. The monastery was built in 1659, is the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism's most prestigious temples, one of the layout of the whole Temple, the Potala Palace in Lhasa imitation, according to the previous cascading mountains, extraordinary style, there is little known as the Potala Palace is Yunnan's largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. Monastery has eight health parameters (presumably for the Living Buddha of the next level, wait for verification), each have their own temples.
Songzanlinsi buildings are divided into three layers around the most external is the residence of monks belonging to a subsidiary of temple architecture; followed by oval-shaped city wall and the long stone steps, a solemn silence, with the eight health parameters between the Diange; Main Temple Zhacang monastery built in the central hall for the five-story Tibetan carved floor, building blocks for thousands of people chanting fight, hall mural colorful, delicate strokes to describe the Historical allusions, and carry forward the main teachings of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, Tsongkhapa, V Dalai Lama and other Buddhist statues in the butter lamps shining brilliant golden wall.
When we went to the temple is being renovated, many halls do not open can not be visited, but fortunately happened to also see a Buddha, we have invited up to his defense, the results are got what they wanted them received a small golden Buddha. I have nothing to turn a moment's Basilica faithful to prayer diary, a time when the eve of college entrance examination to see above all the local high school students better pray to the Buddha's words into college can not help but amusement. The ancients said, "days Gentleman self-reliance", their own future and their own break, whether admitted to the University of blessing for the Buddha can be of help? Only know that the children of South Korea in recent years been causing severe pray that I never expected the domestic remote areas, too, something worthy of bad news.
Songzanlinsi ticket is 10 yuan, the students can get half-price concession vouchers pieces, in fact I have only to show me a person's documents Jiuji we bought half-price tickets, can be seen here, were simple and sincere. Siwai There are many stalls selling a variety of Tibetan handicrafts, including the world-famous knives. China has 56 ethnic groups, only the central government to allow Tibetans and Jingpo saber travel, like me, a Han Chinese man with a knife if the other around the waist in the street not be long before the words of Akira will be seized and turned over police station security detention. Here, though there are many varieties of knives, process models are also good, but because of carrying knives will travel by train is illegal, if our family can still care here at home business, took the post, if you want to return to Singapore belong to 10000 if possible. Since I can not bring home, we also give up the idea of.
