Always thought to Tibet should be a matter a few years later, because I was not ready.
When accompanied by a friend a month's leave, when the World Cup more and more disappointed when I sat in front of Old Town of Lijiang Youth Hostel to find someone to chat on the bench, I met Lee. Lee is coming from Shenzhen, the second time in Tibet, to listen to him talking about all kinds of Tibet, one would want to gather several of Tibet, and everyone from talking to the late evening, only scattered 11 points.
That night I sleep, and brain are always emerging in Tibet Mirage, until I said to myself: go to Tibet bar.
With an impulse night three days of travel time for the preparatory work for the year June 28, 2002 I backpack alone set foot on the Yunnan-Tibet line.
Train ride all the way from Lijiang to Deqin, feel from time to time with the last month to very different: The last time was chartered a few people along the way stop to stay to stay, do not feel more tired; the lonely one person on board, mostly Tibetan lonely since no words, coupled with a strange odor inside the way, it realizes that the long road of hard-line.
Deqin - Markam
In Deqin Station House passed a more unpleasant evening, at night down the rain, I am worried whether the smooth road to Markam, early in the morning got up and asked the station to the shuttle Markam classes have not yet been reported. Until almost 8 o'clock and we have to learn to Markam car today is a minibus 8:30 start, but fortunately, immediately went to the rainy season, and can be fast day is the day. Lee received a short message, he said, and a friend to the rain collapsed the village, and even two days, let me go first.
Weather is good, although still very dark sky, listening to the driver brother said that because of heavy rain last night and today will be out of the sun. Not a large number of people on board, I have accounted for the car pre-Fu Zuo, so that the air is good, view is also open. Great valley fog, flying on to the temple when the days clear up the fog thicker, a troupe of up Mao. I say again today, do not see the Meili Snow Mountain, and was last seen only a few side-peak, then just down, a regiment fog flash from the car at the past, the driver brother that it was not out of it? I will clear a look at the whole Meili Snow Mountain is really stand out, because the fog reasons, looming like a dancing goddess Kawaboge peak in the cloud is even more beautiful. Not psychologically prepared to see the Meili Snow Mountain, I forgot to take pictures! Look at the car Tibetans are also excited. Meili Snow Mountain more than an hour before disappearing in my line of sight, I think I was lucky, and I pray in my heart: Kamiyama, protect me all the way successful bar!
Car along the Lancang River ahead the road is not too difficult to walk, only sit by the river side when it felt dangerous. Guo Deqin Finally found a village security Township tire leak, good hanging! If broken on the edge of the cliff in a miserable, and take advantage of tires and twisted my time in four weeks, the villagers said, went to Tibet in front of two kilometers of the. The police station on the car onto the identity card and items, after all, this is the last village in Yunnan Province, but they still very friendly to visitors.
After a Yunnan-Tibet's boundary marker, did not take long to Salt, the streets are muddy, feel chaotic. This is my first one township into Tibet, but there is no sense in Tibet, perhaps the Naxi village's sake, but more like the last one township in Yunnan. Eat a bowl of noodle, rice noodle after this is hard to find, and then went to sit on the wooden bench in front of their shops across town to see the mountains, a large red and white slip of Hitodo body, could not help but think of the next road whether it is built in such a slippery slope? Because it followed more than 5000 meters to climb over the mountain Hong-Xue pull, which is the most dangerous sections of Yunnan-Tibet line.
Salt up a lot of Sichuan, young lady, the car appears to be crowded, but also dirty a lot. Car slowly climb along the Lancang River, I was sitting on the side of backing, I do not think that many insurance is looked down, such as red snake river winds before the general, the two sides cliff landslide, really very spectacular.
While vehicles in the water, I took a few photos here and Diqing Tibetan houses have obviously different. I was the first time to climb over this mountain more than 5,000 meters, there will be worried about their reaction to high altitudes before, when vehicle arrives at the Peak, I was relieved not strange, it seems much better than 5000 meters Well. Turn the pass, we can find a large hill north of the woods, listening to the driver brother said that the past more and bigger trees, now have nothing, and near to look, a number of startling and shocking reminiscent of a large tree stump in the past where the original is a multi-dense Forest ah!
After the car will be down into the grassland pastoral areas and villages and the tent 11 from the eyes flash, casual fan and the White Tower by the towering, red head hung heroes section Kham man, I really feel that I went to Tibet a.
6:00 when the car finally over to Markam. This is a real town, the Yunnan-Tibet line travel Inn, military significance, and even the station did not, let alone a high-rise buildings. Grain Bureau to settle down in the House after the wanted to go around in circles, the surprise World Cup finals began, had to watch the match of the.
Brazil's win let me fall asleep safely.
I dream of the Potala Palace.
