Tibet - Nepal - Mount Emei - the Three Gorges
If walking hurriedly Xining
Westbound train will proceed to Xining - the first leg of the trip. I am very pleased to own and finally determined to leave for a trip which, in fact, the initial goal was simply to go to Tibet, and not too detailed plan, because there are too many on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau uncertainties, coupled with and there are abundant time, we might as well consider walking next trip.
Pairs responsible for their own sake, I also see some information in advance of Tibetan culture and history, travel guides and related materials. A person's travel is always filled with more surprises and challenges, many people choose to peer with others, or in order to share costs, or in order to share a dream, but I chose only solution is to test their own independence. Did not expect that travel better and better, even walking for 47 days, it is an unforgettable life experience.
Compared to Shanghai, Xining is just a small city, but the more developed western China to the hub. On the train I met some backpackers, and talk over a few words, but also joked that perhaps in Tibet can hit, but life is so that we may not meet destined Where? In Xining, not to the Tar Monastery and Qinghai Lake, is a first-class regrettable. 既来之,则安之, Qi You do not visit the gift? Tar yellow Gelugpa indeed worthy of the main temple, large-scale, temples everywhere, every temple entrance ticket has a monk. Most temples have a turning cylinder, with copper also have wooden, copper generally relatively small, while the wood as the background in red, gold, blue, white, green, yellow and other colors painted by Dragon and the Buddhism, in the middle there is Liuzizhenyan, "Oh Well microphone Padme coaxing" (purely transliteration) is very beautiful. Butter Sculpture Museum brings together a lot of butter made treasures, from the unique Tibetan butter colored pigments mixed ore extracted, molded statues of various shapes, color harmony, posture realistic, it is amazing. Avalokitesvara with faces as white jade, calm and moderate sitting back, the Buddhist goddess of holding an object, slim slender fingers, the texture of butter makes the statue more humane. But heard that the monks make butter, to old age when the finger on the result of frozen and unconscious. The production of butter to be at a very low temperature to work long hours, but those pious monks in order to Jingfo was willing to pay a price, can be seen the power of religion allows a powerful nation has become mild and gentle, you can go to sacrifice in order to faith everything, I think this is the origin of the truth of all religions bar. I was impressed with the Tar, there are a block of stone covered with colored silk thread called "sons monument", "loving mother hands of line, wanderer who clothes," people come here, added a thread, that is, send the last thoughts and wishes. Finally, we came to the highest point overlooking the entire Tar whole picture, which is indeed a spectacular scene of ambitious people admire. Tar is currently still in the building and expanding.
The next day, go to the Qinghai Lake, along the way the driver stood sensational songs, chartered with the four individuals together and sing, as if returned to the campus that outspoken romantic time. After the car into the possession of Princess Wen Cheng of the pilgrimage office that year, where the high mountains for the first time we see the streamer, which is connected to a number of colorful flags of numerous white hada, the formation of a hill, the wind flag move, so that people have unlimited Xiasi is Heart of the bar, the Buddha who goes? Because the hills upwind large, I specifically asked the driver borrowed a suit according to a phase Beyond. Yes! Like a handsome soldier! Cars move ahead, and soon began climbing, and beside a small river shedding, though by the end of July, but the grass is still green, grassy slopes dotted with Tibetan shepherdess on the tents, goats were grazing at the side of the quiet time to time take a look at the rise of the passing cars on the road. To see such vast natural beauty, feeling a sudden Shu Fang a lot. Moment, large tracts of flowering rape appeared in 109 national highway, too beautiful. This is unexpected, however acquired. The distant blue of the broadband sub-What is this? It is our Qinghai Lake. Stopped, the scene where the camera bar income! Blue sky, Bi Cao, golden yellow of the rape, the deep blue sea of the water color, as well as the forget-me-a clusters of violet. How can I forget you?
Car to Qinghai Lake, we are disappointed, the legendary beauty of Qinghai Lake has become a bustling commercial district, lake beach is full of hawkers selling small commodities, and dim sum stall, we are still over there riding the sea horse, white horse in the Mercedes-Benz on the beach, splash blossoming white horses, that look after the horses of the Tibetan girl, as if what is called Droma? Interest in the beach walk to see what special souvenir, and later decided to say to yourself, to buy a bar in Lhasa, and now buying equipment also increased the weight of it.
