Sichuan highway everywhere overhaul of stop-go, stop-go, often have to wait an hour or two. However, very good scenery along the way, waiting for the opening stretch out when they look at bones, open two jokes on par with those in the city traffic jam so anxious air dry. All the way along the white, Henan, and through Vientiane Daiji Falun Lin, noon to get red of the original, go first to the places the car sent to repair.
As the name suggests, the red revolution, the original county seat of course, meaning the Red Army march through the prairie. Cement streets, straight wide, there is no shade, no scenery. The fierce afternoon sun was scorching hot forehead of people, I walked into a small roadside barber shop, it is the occasion for their own way of life of a hair cut. Master barber was for me, or more precisely my hair, sorry, insisted that I put them away.
Canada finished the oil straight to Aba. Vehicles in the fork in the road big bend of the Po, the boundless grassland abdication, beautiful mountains debut. Missed out on the road has some small failures, bits and pieces Nongnong in the evening, finally came to Aba. Aba roads into good repair, black road curved along the green slopes, there is a beautiful arc. Turn a few bends, the immediate emergence of a large barley, the same as the lake breeze in the street with attractive light and shadow, like most of my favorite postcard. Distance is the Aba unique ancient dwellings, walls on the brush with a Road pious white. As if suddenly came to Xanadu, hearts full of joy could not carry, from the tip of brow mouth overflow out. Linger for a long time before they go to Napian beautiful house go through. Do not know whether Fading good magic, everything is beautiful like a dream. To say nothing more than field trees, the village, but this is a different kind of field tree farms, so that spiritual ecstasy, but full of quiet, is only the heart can be converted to places. Vehicles into the town, the streets on both sides of a blacksmith's forge, such as old-fashioned shop, there are often a small grocery store. Half-open windows on the second floor in the evening sun beating bright flame-like brilliance. The bustling yet peaceful, deep breath of life in the air was filled with, I suddenly fell in love with Aba. Be able to lead their lives here should be pieces of a happy thing.
The next day to watch a temple.
Said Aba Tibetan Buddhism focused on all existing factions, including one of the few Nang sects and Bon monasteries. Nang faction soog block wooden temple gate on end: the prohibition of women Rusi. Already off the hair, then left unattended, I am given the right to regard themselves as nuns, cautiously went inside. Shag monasteries are slightly worn, I did not dare enter Buddhist temple, did not dare to speak a little wait and see what they left.
Bon existing temple in accordance with the largest temple in the diagonally opposite Long slopes, there is a car. Hillside temple there are always exceptional momentum. Chatted with a shag of the monks of the moment, but forgot the Bon in the end what is special about it. Climb the hill, panting, to the hall, red and white two-color wall face strong, red is vermilion, white is white, there is no transition, no compromise, and tells the people shines.
Geer Deng finally went to the temple, in the northwest corner of town from the hotel we stayed close to the auspicious new home. Yellow Sect monasteries become more common, turning circle, without a very special harvest, but added a small grocery store next to the Basilica rather mean, the walls opened a small window, there is a special letterhead Geer Deng Temple to sell, 2 yuan a. Two small lamas in the window probe heads, and looked inside a variety of food, a long time refused to leave, so that reminds me of high school when the school canteen, but also so kind. Soon, a monk after class, and a large purple-red gush to flood, it is spectacular.
Move the dining hall in the county eaten lunch, we hit the road. Next stop is Malcolm.
