Thursday, August 9 Gyangze - Yamdrok Lake - Lhasa
When the morning to eat breakfast with the county party secretary and a number of Shanghai group of cadres to bid farewell to 9:00 starting from Gyantse. The way is earth and stone road, dusty, but fortunately it was overcast with light rain, closed the windows of the car would not get hot. This time, I was sitting in cars have become a leader, saying that I saw sights you can always get off a good camera, then I would doing my part of.
Came to a reservoir next to the blue of the lake was very beautiful. Out of the car, from the steep climb up the rocks of the most remote, beautiful scenery unfolded before my eyes. Soil red rocks and blue water formed a beautiful picture. Far looked the lake there is an abandoned old castle, surrounded by flood water has been estimated as a result of water storage reservoirs. After the murder of a number of film team to move on.
The car climbed the card, such as pulling glaciers, the temperature plummeted, I quickly threw a piece coat off. Thick clouds covered the summit, I can only see the clouds under the glacier, 7191 meters above sea level do not see King Kong Sang Feng Ning. Away from the foot of glaciers close, I feel is at hand. I really wanted to go closer to touch what a pity that in fact there is a high distance from the ground, but also do not have enough time for me to climb the hill to go. At the foot of a small piece of flat land, built a few herders tents. At an altitude of 5045 meters, such as pull-Pass card, there are many Zangmin holding yak, greet visitors ride to the pictures, of course, this is should be charged. There Zangmin enthusiastically shouting visitors to the toilet, built on a simple stone house. And other visitors out, some people money, and for every one million angry people Zhijiao But they were not for that dollar, but rather that there is no written charge sign Zangmin who did not go before, this is not a bit Well the taste of human slaughter. Fortunately, I started taking pictures Guzhuo, etc. After I saw this scene, they found a small hill behind the "casual" the.
Climbed over a pass, the beautiful in my eyes Yamdrok Lake began. Unfortunately, the absence of blue sky, the water is gray. Sheep Lake along the way the car is in the open, I saw a good view of let the driver to stop, the way a lot of stop-go Daoshi photo shoot. After a village, saw a cattle market, but they are hesitant or not to stop when the car had been driven out of the village Yi Liuyan way, it really made me regret it for a while. At this point, gradually revealing the blue sky, and finally let me re-focus attention on the lake in the sheep. To wait until an altitude of 4852 meters of the gamba la pass, the sky is blue sky has been completely white cloud, from the Pass of them are listed in sheep is also exceptionally beautiful lake. The other side of the pass, many clouds still floating in the hillside, the sun cloud shadows on the hillside levels are very abundant.
Bala pass down from the post on the back side of the Brahmaputra on the road. This section of track along the mountain vegetation has been destroyed even more interest in many places there are sand dunes. The way the team speed, and finally three in the afternoon returned to Lhasa.
Stomach problems resolved first. We have a lunch to eat Ramen Museum, which is the most comfortable I have to eat most of a meal of bread. Sour Milk Drinking Festival due to positive during the Lhasa hotels are fully occupied and in the end can only come to the third floor of a newly opened tea room stay there, conditions are relatively poor, but I do not care. Put away luggage, high-Bureau took us to the Jokhang Temple. Because we want to in the street was shopping, so only visited the Jokhang Temple hall and the golden dome. The gold-roofed the sky again played a large gathering clouds, affecting the photo effect.
Everyone in the street was on the shopping, my attention was not on something like that, because in Tibet, I know that a friend of mine approximately at this time also from the Qinghai into the Zang, while as early as 10 a few days ago my friend mobile phone was stolen in Gansu, and from this we have lost contact. I really want to be able to meet his friend in Tibet, in every city temples to pray they could meet his friends, and yes street was where the highest concentration of tourists in Lhasa. Although I know it is very slim, but still searching in the crowd. Of course, all this is futile ... ... It made me very disappointed, but I at least worked hard and are also considered worthy of himself. Moreover, there is one day, who knows a miracle will happen then.
Tomorrow, then going to the wrong timber, this is not on our itinerary, the yes I strongly advocate that want to go, because there is a place I most want to go I hope there's scenery will not let me down.
