Into the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon
Author: ratpetty
Before arriving in Tibet, I read a lot about Medog and Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon's book, Deeply into their courage and the will of the people's admiration, but also secretly summon a person to try a trial of strength. May 4, we drove to the village to send the way of charm and witnessed the Namjagbarwa into the Grand Canyon before the Brahmaputra-e-na. Encountered a dinner on the back from the Medog-fu, to listen to him about 12 years, countless times and out of danger (Medog is the only county highways!) Experience. Dora looked at the mountain not far from the male mind has never been filled with the urge. However, as was often hung Dora mountain avalanche, coupled with the trio, I was the only one intention of a firm impulse eventually gave way to regret. However, we unanimously decided to try to walk into the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon.
May 6 as early as we proceed from the Nyingchi, climbed over 4702 meters above sea level plot pull the color all the way down the hill in the afternoon 4 pm to reach self-Heung Pai Long Monba Longzhen row seat of government. To see the mayor he realized it would like to ask for it is also not an easy task, the Grand Canyon has been designated as a National Nature Reserve, there is no permit issued by the regional public security department shall not enter. After the military sub-district leadership and the mayor by the Nyingchi direct call, we will not be allowed to take place. Early the next day, I, W (M, 38 years old, from Guangzhou), and Z (F, 30 years old, from Beijing) plus two Monba guide and porter five members of his assembled Sheung. Wizard younger Dorje is called the White Horse (later known as more than white), 19-year-old, a very fluently speak Mandarin, people are very clever. Another work called Caiwang cloth, 35-year-old white mayor Ma Jingcun (later known as village heads), and a look Lianbinhuzi, their manners and awkward in Putonghua always reminiscent of the "敌后武工队" Lane pig's head team leader.
From the row Longzhen to za qu village for two days to go, and started to the east along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway and from the Nyingchi flow over the Nigerian foreign music (Niyang) go about 1 km, Nepal Import from Qu Yang Bomi the direction of flow over the Tibetan fabric Parhong Jiang, since we have been along the Pago River south. Fairly good along the way to go, but large and small, rugged stone for feet children endured its share of headaches, we are like a drunk in general was bouncing around before the trip. After a mini-Mu Banqiao, the slope along the way came Tong Village. There are only a few households, scattered on the Banpo around on several Muban Fang planted barley, potatoes, radish and cabbage. We went into the roadside a family, move on drank some water. See, however, the two sides along the way lush, gurgling river torrents, from time to time see a jade belt from the top Shuaixia (which is the peak melting snow for many years after the formation of the water follow the path into the Parhong zangbo River). Hu Ting Xiao Bai walked more than a loud cry, "stop!" Then hands us to retreat. Turns out that we entered the cave area, it is a stretch of about 60 degrees slope, full of small and large stones, and the last major landslides have been uprooted trees Unplug. Looked up and saw a few stones were rolled down! Alas! If it were not found in white-more time, I do not know whose skull they will patronize it. White multi instructed us to go this way when you want to watch whether the whereabouts of the Rolling Stones, as was confirmed that no should be adopted as soon as possible.
Along the way due to the camera, I have been walking in the final. Saying that Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a high mountain snow thick and thin air, everywhere deserted. However, just as we passed on the road, and constantly surprise me there will be novel. I saw in the mainland are also rare fresh bamboo shoots, realize the "sharp-tongued thick-skinned belly empty" means; I suffered a roadside wild strawberries, those little finger belly large, light green, sweet with a tart little Fruit makes me glad not have to "fancies"; I see a small vine Chansi spectacle of giant trees, to the cruel nature of "survival of the fittest" to marvel at; feet appear from time to time in the growth of the red flower in the crevice, giving rise to I the "Hanmei Ao" praise the tut. We have also seen the way Xun Ma, snakes, Gecko, Firefly, and other various non-call on the name of plants, birds and insects, these horizons to some extent undermined the road and dangerous for our negative impact.
Move on, experienced two successive single-plank bridge. Acute diarrhea in the mountains flow down sideways on a log, portrait, like a tightrope shaking by. And then forward again landslide area, 70-degree slope from the soil and rock composition on the rampage in Banpo, the following more than 30 meters is that rush down the Parhong zangbo River. There is no road, only the same as the gecko limbs and use. Grasp vegetation, it will be five fingers as deep into soil, and then carefully move out a foot, in the placement of the foot on the real test, the can only take that next step. Z obstinately pulling from the past two migrant workers. I have been kicked out of date Ta Kong, down dozens of centimeters, this allows the wearer to pull my hands living in the soil before from Fate of Being Drowned. That moment, I suddenly felt the distance between life and death is so near the original! Thankfully, a few people at last safely passed.
When lunch is over, stopped for lunch (Before this, we have hunger and thirst, many times drunk shed the snow mountain). We split up the collection of firewood burning water hygiene. The three of us to eat instant noodles, luncheon meat. Two workers were using boiled water tea, and highland barley flour tsampa, and the other end of salt and pepper, add water transferred into the sauce, dip the vegetables on the road taken to eating with relish. Pinch tsampa watching them, I can not help but think of seeing in a book, "eaten a bowl of barley flour, and their hands washed," a description that really so呀. After dinner started off the first Liusuo. That is one of about two centimeters in diameter wire, hinges on Jiangliang An boulder on about 50 meters from the highest point the water about 20 meters. When crossing the river with a rope and pulley together the human, pulleys in the Liusuo slide, slide to the other side by the potential energy. W is risen from the ranks, struggling sneak middle of the river is unable to self-help, used a rope to pull up the shore. I could not even tried three times, his neck was a hard grind the next large piece of cable skin, painful to behold, in the end only with the help of migrant workers crossing the past. Z of the most miserable, and in white only to sneak under the leadership of more than half the children on her legs hanging down, people hanging in the air, feet chaos stare, issued bursts of piercing screams of. So far a I recall that scene is still absolutely terrifying.
I do not know how many they had started to climb after the landslide area, in the woods walk through. Then Jiuyang the leech appeared. Gang of black meat Huhu I do not know how things went to your body, flew aboard fall in. children, had to be found in the drilling of the clothes. Can not be a hard pull, can only use fire, hand twisted way to get rid of them one by one. Air in the mountains, but Wen Z shrieked, it indicates a leech got into her pants. Fortunately, we are psychologically prepared long ago and found that time, no one has been that they discuss the cheap to.
Climbed to near the summit and saw the corn the village. Said village, in fact, only two families. At that time already 20 o'clock, we are one by one exhausted, thirsty extremely odd stumbled along the way into the a small wooden room. This is among a dozen square meters of houses, both the living room, kitchen and bedroom functions. And the gate is a relatively large stove without chimney, no electricity, no candles, lighting the whole depended on the door and only a small window. Master of the house called Sonam Tsering, 25 years old, gentle manners, a long very handsome, but the English in general. He and 75-year-old father, 60-year-old mother and a 20-year-old sister, the family co-operates. Honest enthusiasm memba owner homemade yogurt and butter tea in honor us, and we finished off a stretch of five people in a vat of yogurt (estimated to be enough for someone to drink the whole family for a week!). Dinner was corn, the staple food of rice mixture and vegetables taken from the mountains to bring us the fresh fungus with a luncheon meat stew together Tuyangjiehe really very delicious.
Shortly after a meal outside, it began to rain heavily. The owner could be found to all the belongings gave us bedding. We are five people sleeping side by side on the floor, kind old mother could only sleep in the outdoor corridors, barely used plastic sheeting Zhe Yu. Z frown in the rain, said: "If it does not rain tomorrow, we will go back to it." One can see the rain, they will think of landslides, landslides and rain is more crazy leech, everyone there is always gloomy forecasts.
The next morning, I was crowing sound of the first one to wake up to go out a look at the rain had stopped, day is still overcast, but have changed a good sign. However, four around the Bush-Jiang Wen Parhong Tibet Pentium voice and forest birds warble vitis. Everywhere you looked, across the mountains floating Jiduo Danyun air rally with wet weight of the water vapor. Fresh air made me feel a boost, Fan Shen greeting I were to get up hurriedly washed after meals, and the owner of Road good-bye before they set foot on the road trip.
After a second Liusuo, we began to climb all the way to. Sure enough, wet weather big leech of their child, but there the previous day's experiences, everyone calmly, Z screams frightened also disappeared. Afternoon, 1 o'clock, day began to clear up, we finally climbed the hill village only heard soon as roared "Gallas white base!" Sure enough, on the west side of Castle Peak, chaotic cloud looming on the horizon a majestic peaks, the shape is quite Like Egypt's pyramids. That it is not only because of its majestic live in high elevation of 2,000 meters above Castle Peak, but also because it looks very close to us. To prevent bad weather sets in, we all rushed to the scene shot down.
2:00 left, to the village za qu. Za qu village was originally unknown, the sub-county in Tibet on the map can not find its shadow. Since 1998 Chinese Academy of Sciences expedition in this camp, the only gradually become known. We hold mayor's letter of introduction, came Suolangnima village chief's house. Sincerely, drink a few glasses of village of the father of highland barley wine, we attend to rest, Li not only ran to a favorable terrain, to pay their last respects and filming the famous Brahmaputra Da Guaiwan children. In our less than 100 meters in front of heroes stands Abra Oyama, it looks positive cone, year-round by the green vegetation cover. On its west side, from the rural north of the Brahmaputra and the sending has been with us accompanied by the southward Parhong Tibet as a Bush-Jiang Meeting, slightly after by the twists and turns along the Abra Oyama successive cone surface to the right, draw a a near-perfect arc, and first to the southeast, abductions of a number of small Wan Er after they threw flows to the south. Widening perspectives, the horse kicked a standard form Tai Guaiwan children in front of us.
Exclaimed yet to wake up, followed by the heard the voice of the elderly, "Barwa!" Wat Sai! In our due south direction, a distance of Castle Peak above the peak Barwa God became visible to啦. Its mountains rise gradually from east to west, just like a side of the lion. Despite being geographically far apart and thus appear less tall, stern but without losing prestige. 4 pm, the weather clear. Nyima village house standing on the balcony, we also see the two unmatched in the world God peak - 7782 meters above sea level and altitude 7151 meters of Namjagbarwa white base peak of the gala! According to Tibet's old talk, it could also see this peak two gods who are very lucky person. At this point hears land Road, Jing Qiang Z shouted the opening to "What landslides, leech, the value of this life. Fairy in Beijing, some cows had."
At 5 pm, the sky a blue, white base peak Namjagbarwa and gala heroic play. The south side of South Peak, such as lion Woyu the summit of the mountains, guarding the road leading to paradise; the west side of towering peaks increases, led a number of peaks guarding the Western Paradise Shrine. Evening 6 pm -8 pm, add shine under the peak in the sunset red from white, in the surrounding Huoshao Yun and left vast areas of continuous and varied types of snow-capped mountains surrounded, even more spectacular become sacred. Turned south, the southern peak first pale blue, gradually release the golden light, turned a glowing red, demonstrate to the world with its aggressive Vermeer.
May 9 as early as 8:30, I was the first wake up, grabbed the camera to capture the beauty of dawn. At the moment, faint white clouds Lvpao Phi body of the Abra male mountain light drift and Yajiang as a pale yellow hada quietly coiled in the mountains at the foot of a hero, William Gallas white base covered with a thin layer of the veil, while the South Jia Bawa seems not yet awake ......
Ah, this unique three wonders of this world! How many heroes have gone through 1000 Sim, risking death to come, but miss each other, swallowed their anger and go; how many people can only watch the day disappointed, and in the case of sen-shaped seeking a dream. I got going on and so on before and after the rainy stage that have been bestowed with adequate inter-sky was clear and was able to peak overlooking the jade belt of God's purity and sanctity of pretty spectacular, it is fortunately, Xing Shen Fortunately, the luck again! ! !
Farewell, Grand Canyon, do not, and Yaruzampbo Da Guaiwan children. Holy Canada, the South Peak of God, so that the last time I pay tribute to you stands. I will always remember this with the hard life of adventure as well as the cost of return for the most valuable experience and unremitting sincere good wishes for eternity lucky people! The sky dimming, drizzle, and we reluctantly set foot on the way to secular Return Journey.
