Seven days and nights in Tibet row
Tibet, the ultimate temptation, I finally threw me for her ... ...
1, long Qinghai-Tibet Railway
Has just completed renovation of Lanzhou Railway Station waiting room, city television Xiao Zhang, small Lu, provincial television stations a small single-Atlanta Komori Department of Chinese graduate students, as well as me, and five are being submerged in a crowded crowds of migrant workers being. Just two days ago, when we sat in the peasants Lane, when the fast-food table to discuss the schedule, we still doubt the feasibility, from Lanzhou to Lhasa, and from the distance over 5000 kilometers, and in order to save money, we are ready to access all by land, the time is only 51 seven-day holiday, cost estimates of no more than 1,500 yuan.
Away from home for the Chinese people always try anything to take precedence, refused to give the big bags have been hard-seat carriages blocked the entrance, fortunately Before this, I have been able to occupy their own seat should and luggage frame. This is the one bound by Lanzhou, Golmud, Qinghai to pukuai, passengers mostly to workers in Qinghai, personnel, many of them are directed at the formal start of the Qinghai-Tibet railway will soon go. The train from Lanzhou out soon, hard seat carriages to stop the water supply, but the cleaning crew is still timely, carriages always clean and tidy. The sky had been overcast was beginning to rain through the window of the seats every seat cool Let me quickly receded when one of the cars on the clogged sweat, in order to spend this long night, Xiao Zhang, small Lu, Komori and I play with the upgrade, a small single is close their eyes meditatively. To 2 am, everyone can put their own position to fall asleep, and through hairgi slightly light on the platforms of the station, I found that out the window was snow, and quickly added wearing a sweater, but also into the ranks of rickety .
Thrown up in a white horizon repeatedly greeted everyone pull themselves together, and here is the northern edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the window gradually clear that the Gobi, marsh endless shrouded, as well as the distant snow peaks at Qilian Shan mountain range. Rail has always been around here for a great circle, disk to disk to go Though the station is small and Nago poetic, "days Joon" gives people a sense of very far-Joon, "Keke" is reminds me of romance . Delhi is the third largest city in Qinghai, the city close to the towering mountains, only two or three months a year, the Peak of snow will melt. A longer time due to parking, we all get off to the site to a breather, Komori might seem bad, the night that some uncomfortable, Chile Yao felt a little better, but his face still pale, and we call him a laugh Return to Golmud bought tickets, and then stay for six days at home, and then tell all know that he went to Tibet's friends - photos were not washed out.
By noon, the window left of the Gobi-inch grass without students, people with stones and fences block the continued expansion of desertified land, and thus, in the Kunlun mountain of barren land with the second largest city in Qinghai - Golmud , I almost did not feel that the famous saying goes, the presence of salt bridges, the train rolled into the Golmud on the site.
Golmud railway station opposite the bus stop on one and a half hour later, there will be a bus bound for Lhasa today's final. Of course, the square at the station from time to time someone will ask you if you go to Lhasa, but in order to save funds and security considerations, we decided to fly aboard the state-run long-distance car, even though I know that the conditions will be poor. Szechuan Restaurant next to the station, we have everyone wrapped belly of the biggest names in a rice, Komori is no exception, he seems to not immediately return journey, and so we are confident to put off a succession of high altitude oxygen bags and sell drugs. The state-run long-distance truck from Golmud to Lhasa, there are three flights a day, than I called to ask when the fare rose 10 yuan, lower berth, each member 230. Poor air quality, narrow space, black bedding, there are only sideways, but after the aisle where the bags filled, and this is no railway in the region for long distance travel, in order to save the cost of the price to be paid.
"Into Tibet, may find the ideal; into Tibet, and may be able to see the heaven ... ..." In this way, accompanied by Li's singing, I really get into Tibet!
Golmud in Qinghai-Tibet Highway not far out into the Kunlun Mountains on, due to overcrowding, he drove slowly into the sunset when the Kunlun Naij Tal spring, Yu Everest dressed in twilight gradually disappeared from the screen in the color being. Before dark to the Kunlun Pass is no longer possible, and later heard that desirable piece of stone in a major earthquake fault, leaving only "Pass" word. After a Kunlun Pass, elevation has been maintained at above 4,300 meters, some people began to vomit, and Drivers voice to stress that the vomit in the car, our fire with Komori in the non-stop coughing, but drugs have been deeply buried in the pile of luggage. With the weather warming, Frothing bumpy road makes the car sharp, this night, your seat in the last row of us will never forget that time, I think the whole person vacated first, and then hit the pillow after a metal frame, the tight Then, the original bottle on the head of the military is also flowing down down, heavy hit in the forehead.
Wudaoliang more than 4700 meters above sea level, due to the high altitude region is located in the most middle of the oxygen content is very low, always confident and I feel a little晕晕Hu Hu, and Lu Xiao Zhang and small that they do not want to do a few 1:00 sports, and even a few rare chance to get off easily give up. This night, the way an area of five beams with snow, the stars in the sky thick with a small roadside shop, ringing over and over again, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau," the songs of a people who get off easy kneel in front of the car, and weak Let people pull in front of him something, I looked more dead than alive to a few partners, according to Chang, as played called "four 'discuss eating' in five beams."
As the next snow, the car delays, and just after dawn when Tanggula spring, although no sleep a night, I went to sit in front of the engine cover, to enjoy the beautiful Tanggula. Knot in a thick windshield ice, only the driver in front of a clean-up out of a transparent region, showing a straight highway, road side of the same poles arranged in a straight line, waiting for reviving the vast expanse of straw, as well as continuous distance of the snow-capped mountains.
Near noon, we went to Tibet after the first cities and towns, security and more rare to see pedestrians on the street, a few sheep nibble the roadside just Fanchu the short green grass, a small restaurant a potato wire to 12 yuan, a small bowl of gruel to 2 yuan, went to look at a simple roadside toilets, someone asked me 1 dollar received, on the train, I had a pot of free irrigation water, prepared to use portable hard tack adhere to the final end journey. You leave out, I have been in a half-asleep among the few of their companions also features a move to sleep, when the first city in northern Tibet ever Nagqu do not know, when I have some awake, it is already seen Nian-Qing Tanggula peaks, and Nyainqentanglha is secondary to the meaning of Tanggula may be far higher than the peak of its Tanggula. When the male not far away from the foot of the Nyainqentanglha peaks, which stand Dawa Tibetan girl, a statue of the central cases, that is, in this place, she was taken to the Asian Games in the fire, where there is a hot spring resort built grassland in the flowing stream wrapped in a touch of mist. Later on, we have gone through that when hung, less than 50 kilometers west from here is that Tibet's first Great Lakes wood wrong again after dark when we Yangbajain, and then we see the continuous emergence of roadside street lights and shops , and finally to Lhasa, and then after that they started the first 49 hours, bus had been driving for 30 hours.
