The next day I got up very early, and my refined than God, although there is no real reaction to the altitude (which is normal), but the old listen to someone say there Shuishui symptoms of altitude sickness, I can not help the tense, feel chest tightness shortness of breath, rapid heart beat, then walk to the hotel courtyard, by the way breath of fresh air.
Last night down the night's rain, humidity, outside the great room is also very cold, I turn full circle in the yard faced a waiter, he chatted up with him, began to realize that not only the high altitude, low temperature and Zhongdian, and in May coincides with the rainy season, it rains every day is also normal for a few days ago here, also down the snow, this is not yet cold, but have been frozen for the howling winter shivering I do not regret bringing the cotton-padded clothes.
About 8:00, A Peng brother drove his Toyota truck to pick us, so a new journey began. Places to go today for the first one called Napa lake, here called "the sea", meaning the highland lakes, as here, is located inland away from the sea, so the sea became the most local people aspire to, so I named the lake here called "Sea."
Came to Napa lake, here in the northwest of Zhongdian town, 8 km away from the county seat. Is a nature reserve, every year a number of black-necked cranes come to spend the winter here, so there's hometown, also known as black-necked cranes. In fact, Napa lake formed by the lakes and meadows, it may often reasons rain, the meadow has become a swamp, it is impossible to walk into, and so we rented it from the local Tibetans to horses, rode mighty walked to the grassland interior.
Napa within the four seas flat, surrounded by the mountain. Yan Yan, on the meadow grass, a few yaks grazing quietly on the grass, the snow-capped mountains stretching far been shrouded in white clouds, time disappeared the next. Walking in the soft meadow, the ears seem to think of the famous Inner Mongolian folk song: "Bai Yunpiao blue sky, white clouds following the horse race ... ...." In addition to the horizon undulating mountains, where the vast grasslands, flocks of oxen and horses, lush pasture, and the steppes beyond the Great Wall, what difference?
Tibetan home visits to leave the Pana Hai, we came to a Tibetan's home tour. From the exterior view Tibetan houses are generally tall white building is imposing. Mainly civil structure. Into the yard to see that housing is divided into three layers, a layer for keeping poultry and livestock, and along the ladder on the second floor, there are living people. The whole room wooden structure, whether it is a wall or furniture, are painted a very beautiful painting. Rooms large, but very dark, listening to the master that can accommodate up to 150 people, surrounded by furnishings with benches, and the space is used to singing and dancing, and whenever guests visit, hospitable Tibetan friends, will be presented a white hada come up with highland barley wine, buttered tea, cheese and other entertain guests, and guests while songs while dancing, enthusiastic. Unfortunately, our trip because it is in the daytime, so there is no press row of such activities.
The remaining room is a bedroom and kitchen, but that's a few rooms on the relatively straightforward. Usually in the Tibetan's home, furnishings of the most clean, beautiful place, it should be regarded as temple, and ordinary members of the family is not able to be eligible to sleep here, and only a monk Lama to come back before they can live here.
Three layers is used to stack hay, grain and debris in. Through this visit opened the mystery of the Tibetan people, let me have some understanding of the Tibetan people.
Left, look out Corporate Banking Tibetan friends, my heart silently say to them: "Tashi Chandler, Tibetan friends."
Zhongdian Bita Lake we went back after lunch, a short break, we rushed to the Bita Lake. If Pana Hai is a robust young man, then the Bita Lake is a Qingli but shy girl, secretly hiding in the mountains 25 kilometers away from Zhongdian into.
We first come-first-Dabi Tahiti nature reserves, full of lush, full of endless forests and the beautiful azaleas Man Shan, and we at the foot of this piece of land might be our highest place where this trip about more than 4100 meters, far Department's snow-capped mountains are cloud covered, and be able to see the flow of clouds.
Artificial Plank Road along the paved walking down the hill, to pass through a jungle to get to Bita Lake, Plank Road on both sides of tree shade and forest trees. Known as the "living fossil" spruce tree, tall and straight. Protected areas, vegetation consisting mainly of fir and spruce, depending on the altitude distribution of the azalea, bamboo, moss, honeysuckle, spruce, mountain pine, alpine oak, short thorn oak, red cedar, red birch, Populus, Betula platyphylla , alpine willow and so on. Here into the natural vegetation, as the museum.
"Bita" is the Tibetan language, meaning that oak tree into the carpet place. Lake around the ancient oak pines crowded in upon each. Lake clear and bright, and as daylight lighting, observation of near and far different, showing a different color, sometimes dark green, sometimes green, sometimes sky blue. Lex lake, the lake went so far as to issue the Po bright blue, takes away people's eyes, it is amazing. Lake has a circular island, lush, as if the deliberate arrangement of nature, multi-layer landscape, and there are a layer of cover, so that becomes all the more grace graceful and Bita Lake.
Bita Lake Quaternary glacial period has left ancient creatures, biologists have been referred to as "Zhongdian re-lip fish." Whenever the season in the spring azaleas are blooming, heavy fighting over the fish lips have drunk and the Cuckoo Laying floating lake, black bear while fishing by moonlight night drunk food fish, the formation of an exclusive "cuckoo drunk fish", "Laoxionglaoyu" strange landscape .
Since Bita way back, I flew all the way. Known to the limits of their own challenges, but have not yet returned to the car, had a splitting headache, ears and hair-ming. Their own fear of altitude sickness has finally emerged. Back to the hotel at night after dinner, I went back to the room are drawn down, asleep.
