Motors Qinghai-Tibet Railway
I have especially good luck, one to the Golmud to Lhasa on the chartered found that a good starting 3:00 that evening to Lhasa.
After the Kunlun Pass, when very cold, but the heating could not be opened inside the car too much, otherwise the driver said he would too comfortable and fall asleep, and it seems that we had to work hard about the whole thing. This is an all-pervasive cold, wrapped in a thick coat or a straight tremble, constant pressure over a dense mass of mountains, people feel very depressed, breathless, as if every time the car after this piece of the darkness is a kind of fluke . Stars in the sky away from us very close, but my mind could imagine the most horrible story takes place in such an environment. May shine in the headlights, I vaguely able to see the towering Kunlun Mountains, rocks, great tension, and also very ambitious, is indeed a symbol of the soul of the Chinese nation. Later, I remember leaning drowsily travel backpack fell asleep.
When I woke up the time had seen a glow. A very bright clouds, and slowly open the new day, especially in such a boundless open places, each point are inspiring gift of nature, it is full of gratitude. At dawn, quickly heat up, and now that Tibetans dress is very scientific, half sleeves is the most suitable way alternating hot and cold plateau. Such as the sun shone high when the road has been like to a hot summer.
The Qinghai-Tibet line is that all the roads leading to Lhasa, the road the best, with the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet line is now parallel, along the way we give a lift also inspected progress of works. Of course, stopped to check the Law! Because the front of the construction we had to wait long for two hours, but fortunately, before departure to buy a watermelon, and now just brought summertime. In fact, watermelons are not delicious, because it does not so sweet. However, we Nafu greedy relative to the nearby car where everyone came cited, and we are also very politely points to them.
After the Yangtze River source - Tuotuohe, I saw nine meandering river in the flat plateau on the characterization of the deep mark, not personally see it, hard to believe that the mother river of the Chinese nation have such crystal-clear water , slowly, and thin, but such tenderness it has a very tenacious spirit, irrigation, most of the Chinese soil.
At noon we are the source of the first bridge in the Yangtze River near the town to eat lunch eyeful to see is "River"-known restaurant, and later three of us sought out a Tibetan restaurant, "the boss, to half a catty lamb, half a catty beef, In the past a skinned vegetable soup! "very bold and the bar! Later, the boss is also very forthright on the ground for almost two, we see all stupid. Abound! Taste especially good! Delicious incomparable! And no MSG!
5 beam is legendary courage of the most thrilling and dangerous route, because with the rising altitude, altitude sickness will become more intense. Sure enough, my head hurts a little bit into a great pain from the severe, chewing gum, eating fructose, not the loose. Since I was to Golmud has been in to eat Rhodiola, a little bit purple fingernails do. Finally to the highest office - Tanggula mouth, as high as 5231 meters above sea level. I had to get up steam, as a distraction, and at that height limit to leave my photos, cold wind blowing my hat to fly, it seems like a simple chop. Is it closer to the Sun's sake? Color is too glaring sun, even sun-glasses are can not even open. In the back of the monument next to the streamer looked, majestic snow-capped mountains seemed no longer the distance, clouds associated with the snow-capped mountains, blue sky and grassland echoed. Where to stay, we met two Tibetan children, a boy about ten years old, very thin, scarf wrapped ears, brown eyes, wearing sportswear and boots; 6,7-year-old girls, but appearance, hair disheveled, his eyes large and deep, the nose to stay do not know, may be too cold, do not stir. She was wearing Tibetan dress, tied in front of colorful striped apron. I posed with them, they will do "V"-shaped gesture, I think, because this relationship through the countless Chinese and foreign travelers. That little girl was actually asking for asking us to cigarette smoke. I was shocked, such a small child, probably does not speak Mandarin, but the habit has been cultivated, and is subject to contact with travelers affected?
After a Tanggula mouth, we soon entered the Nagqu. There is the endless vast Northern Tibet Plateau, abundant aquatic plants, cattle and sheep flocks, from time to time come to our car in front of yak. Then I saw a kind of white-headed white body, black eyes, black hoof of the yak is very not like it, like a national treasure panda-like black eyes Xianxia Qu has become more like the skeleton of the skull in general, in particular the terrorist! In any case, the Tibetans can treat them as treasures of the plateau ah!
This time, we are chartered with a companion, someone because of altitude sickness is too strong and require Nagqu stay there, 5,000 meters high, ah, I've got the night there with friends to eat hot pot, go to where the monks Hall (with Tibetan music and dance bar), Le Le Zai Zai!
Later the next day to know the plateau much. Headache ripped fast, and struggle to get up, massage the temples, and good alleviate some headaches. Bad, our drivers have had altitude sickness. Along the way, we try to speak to him and let him feel dizzy sub-cut, a good car! Nagqu that when hung in the way we have gone through a streamer office, where the Tibetans give us some colorful little pieces of paper, tossed in the air at a time to shout, "Tuo Jia Jia" is a blessing a safe journey and good luck meaning. Watching dance flying colors, mind suddenly see the light, of course, do not forget to give money Hanwan the Tibetans.
August 5 at noon, I finally reached the heart of the fascinating place - Lhasa!
