I went to Tibet last September. Fortunately, this trip is really hard, but fortunately scenery is really beautiful, and can be considered worthwhile. I have been to a place not that much, but Tibet is the most beautiful I have ever seen places. Many mountains in Tibet, in addition to same mountains, but different, and some bare grass, and some rugged rocks, and some is simply virgin forest, and some were snow-covered, solemn and majestic. There is blue sky is very blue, and deeply shallow different colors of blue, very good-looking. Different forms of clouds, but also very low, as if within reach. Within the lake was like a weird shaped block of jade, a distance, with blue sky Bimei, nearly see also cleared up as transparent as glass. Prairie endless, flocks of cattle and sheep grazing leisurely walk, look like stars in the night sky, full taste of what is called "wind-swept pastures are cattle and sheep." We first adapted to a night in Chengdu, the next day to fly to Lhasa. Lhasa airport is the airport in the country furthest away from the city more than 100 kilometers. We are off the plane, it can fully appreciate the "Solar City" of Lhasa powerful, that the sun is really strong no, less than a minute drying the skin a bit sore, and eyes feel very stimulated. Our guides are local to accompany, a meeting presented on our white hada, and teach us a "le," (meaning "auspicious," said the meeting will, as we say, "do eat ? "do). To meet us is six Jeep (our party of 19 individuals), billing is 3 yuan / km, cars older, but all imported cars, Mitsubishi and Toyota, the driver said that Tibet is Chinese-made cars could not walk the hill. In addition to in Tibet taxi, it is difficult to see cars in the street, almost all jeep. Bus drivers are the local Tibetans, can speak Mandarin, but not very fluent, as far as they said they rarely receive domestic tourists, foreigners are generally quite a lot of ground to accompany our reception was the first time within the bin. So they can speak more commonly used in English, Japanese, German, French, and so on. Over the next few days, we do see foreign visitors to be more than domestic tourists, while domestic tourists also mostly Cantonese, as always to hear speak Cantonese. Tibetans are not their father's surname, usually the names of two or four characters are taken from Buddhist scriptures, such as our driver, "Laba Tenzin" means "born on Wednesday, the Tibetan people" and another called "Nyima" is "The Sun", "Tsering Yangzom" is "Longevity fairy" means. We are sitting more than 1 hours by car to Lhasa City (elevation 3,800 meters or so), pretty good scenery along the way Oh, we see the way Wei Yan to Lhasa Brahmaputra, it is the world's highest river. Although the Tibetan capital of Lhasa as, but looks are not very prosperous. The next day we visited the Potala Palace. Perhaps read the Forbidden City, and I do not think the Potala Palace is very grand, but something inside the Forbidden City is far from impressive. However, there is a V Dalai Lama inside the pagoda, it really makes worthless alone Lama It took more than 3400 kilograms of gold produced, but on the outside of pearl inlaid precious stones and funerary objects to ten times the outside The value of the gold estimated to have over one billion price. Then we looked at the Jokhang Temple, a 5-step to see a lot of Tibetans admire land prayed. Tour guide said that many devout Buddhist is all the way from Qinghai to come here to worship on bended knees, and prayed all the way for a few months, even a car ride they would not take, and think it is a disrespect for the gods. Honestly, I think that Buddhism was really possessed by the Devil, even though I am deeply impressed by their sincerity. They are intended to make money donated to the temple, that this can be expressed admiration of God. We see a lot of other people in the temple to donate money, what currency are, you can say that I personally have never seen so much in so many countries currency. A colleague of mine asked: Is afraid of people stealing do? Guides are very angry, as if we planed the graves of his like, and repeatedly said, "We are all dedicated to the Buddha, how could someone steal it!" Later we visited the nunnery. The most funny is here. We visited a Buddhist nun who do hand-living house, inside there is a row of about 10 or so nuns worked on it, we go take a look, I do not know why, we have a line of 19 individuals, nuns that fancy me. There is a chair look like a nun asked me how much, but he still asked me to ride her. I look at the tour guide, he motioned me to sit, I sit, and who knows nuns actually asked me, "Do you want to do nun?" I thought I got it wrong To her surprise, she took the scissors to cut my hair, so powerful, I could give her scared to death! I side Huzhu hair says: "I Do! My hair, but left a long time, not to mention I'm not married then, I am very vulgar, I do not eat meat would be intolerable!" I almost want to run away, and she said with a laugh with my jokes. Really, the joke did not find another! Colleagues looked awkward shot me down, but also I have always made fun of Buddhism in their hearts.
The next day we set out for Yamdrok Lake (Tibetan in the "wrong" means "lake" means), along the scenic good, but the mountain is too dangerous. Are all winding mountain roads, the road also the most wide enough only two cars in parallel. Hill Road, almost all of the corner of twenty to thirty degrees, and one side is the mountain side is cliffs, the event fell opinions on the left really is no kind of slag. However, for those drivers or kept overtaking, I saw the death of a Pakistani to be beyond our cars, I've seen it several times to have a round have been slipping in the cliff edge, and I gave it a cold sweat scared. I was the first car, often have no way to see ahead, and seemed to be falling off, and the drivers blow to the steering wheel, a result I have been hit over the past hit to the destination. Yamdrok Lake was beautiful, but the road is not good to go. Later I learned that hard way to go is yet to come it!
Then we went to Shigatse (more than 4,000 meters above sea level), which is the second largest city in Tibet, it in fact very backward. That night I could not bear to see the Star seen to sleep, it is too beautiful. Large cities are too many clouds and dust in the night sky, and only where the night sky is so close, as if the stars within reach, even the Milky Way band are so clearly evident. At that time I really regretted not learn geography, otherwise I could tell a different constellation. The next day visited the Tashilhunpo, it is a fairly larger temples, is simply a small village, its peak when more than 3,000 monks, there are currently more than 800. After we drove to Tingri via Lazi, Lazi be regarded as a major town in Tibet, how much? Only one street only. One can look over the whole town. The way of the winding mountain roads, six jeeps mighty chuanshan wading along the way much smoke and dust in the western taste of heaven and earth big wind took the momentum is enough, can be enough to be a bumpy way. Pull through more than 5200 meters high mountain. To Tingri, that is, near Mount Everest, and tour guide said, about 90 kilometers away from Mount Everest, and the eyes of people in the city 90 kilometers is nothing can be the next day I discovered I was wrong. The next morning, we would go visit the Everest proceed through the border station, we are very excited, said: "Today is a memorable day." (Results show that September 11 is indeed a memorable day, the day the United States International Trade Building and the Pentagon was bombed, of course, it was later than we know). 90 km of the road, we have gone a full seven hours before to the foot of Mount Everest. I do not know how many turned mountains, anyway, looking ahead, in addition to same mountains. Lu Lu is in fact not only in the mountains and river on two tires run over the rugged trail. Road is not only dangerous, but very difficult to use. I would be a good physique, and have never motion sickness, are被震the confused, almost vomiting. Some travel extensively colleagues say that have never been to been to countless places like the Everest line of the road so hard road by now. "Shudao difficult, extremely difficult for." May be coming here if you only know the meaning of "road hard line"! Find it difficult to become even more admiration for the workers has been a road here. They were all closed and hard over many years in such an environment of silent contribution. Bump of more than seven hours, sitting for a day's car finally reached the foot of the Rongbuk Everest, which is highest in the world of the temple. Why I do not understand those monks in the temples such a high place? May want to close a little bar off to heaven. We live in a small hotel next to the Rongbuk Monastery, said that these are really small, only a dozen rooms, four beds room. That is not small hotel bathroom, and all resolved in the wild, there is no bath room, can not bathe, eat only hard to swallow the noodles. Where regional high, pressure is too low, the general boiling water is difficult to reach 100 degrees, so cooking is not open. But even the doors did not lock, pushed open the door at night was often coming in, we can imagine, sleep sleep is also bad. The next day half an hour's car ride to the Everest, and finally reach the base camp (elevation 5200 meters). The weather is very cold, I wore two sweaters 2 Down feel cold. That is not very smoothly, so that clouds blocked Everest, and we have been waiting for scattered clouds. Tour guide said he last brought foreigners to come to, where they waited a week, did not see Everest, Mount Everest is not so easy to see. Wait a few hours, and finally see the peaks, and we are very excited to shoot a lot of pictures. The results guide told us quietly "see you so excited, I am sorry to tell you, in fact, you see the bare is not Everest,那座is that even the names are not. Nazuo the real Mount Everest is on the right, you just see the foot of less than 1 / 10 of it! "It's our gas bomb, and did not say okay in! But there is no way, in order to hurry, we had to go, quite regrettable. We can only halfway into the distance on the Everest of the mountains.
Then we went to Nam Co, which is the world's highest lake. China's second largest saltwater lake. Scenery along the way unlimited, endless prairie. Namco 4400 meters above sea level, but to pull over 5200 meters of the mountain, we are at an altitude of 5200 meters high mountain to climb about 200 meters on the mountain. Fortunately, really bitter, climbed to the Mid-levels, are already could not stand, and the wind almost blowing his head off. Face was wind too painful. More to the high air thinner, we can almost feel every step very difficult to breathe, walk a few steps are like a 1500 meter run when feeling down. However, we continue to climb up the highest. This is really a challenge. Lake Nam Co is, in fact more like the sea, large boundless side is said to have 8 days 8 nights riding in order to perimeter. Scenery is really very beautiful, perceptive and thoroughly at the end. They murdered a lot of film. Back to the way God made the United States, actually it began to snow, which for those of us Southerners who have never seen snow, is simply a windfall. We are very excited to shoot a lot of pictures, but also to fight off the snow warfare. Between heaven and earth a snow-white, the original snow is so beautiful. Snow is quite cold, but too excited, not at all attend to cold. We had snow and rain as the South will be thunder. Namco day, we experienced a year. Why? When the morning to go is the beautiful warm spring weather, arrived at noon, the weather was very hot, and wearing short-sleeved clothes and feel warm not work, then came back, actually down the snow, cold winter with like. Coming down the mountain, and the weather was like there is a ray, like the autumn chill, but not very cold.
Tibet trip, several of us woman are nothing too serious not meet up to that is, headaches, vomiting and nosebleeds. But those good men and bad, ah, fell ill one. The first day I arrived in Lhasa at midnight the night of a sudden headache woke up and turned in bed for two hours, never had such a headache, pain in seemed to be split, which is a kind of altitude sickness. My colleagues gave me a 100-ning on a sense of Shuidaotianliang. The next morning, "Panda" who gather head, and everyone is sleeping well. There are even worse than I had, and was vomiting all night, some diarrhea, some middle of the night to oxygen. The next day, someone said that before leaving, but we encourage one another, we must adhere to stay. The first day in Tibet would be no big things happen to the third day, the situation is bad. It was constantly vomiting began, it was fever, cold, if it is in plain, fever, colds are minor one, no one would care, but there will not be ignored. But those who get the disease is also strange, painful death on the road during the day can be night in the town to see a doctor Shi You are all right. A colleague of the most pathetic, he began the third day has been vomiting non-stop, eat, spit out anything, but could not eat anything. He said he has always had motion sickness of the problems, we also think so, because he lived down on one night all right, but his body has been very good, usually have a lot of exercise. But no one would have thought that his sudden illness of less serious. What had not, and one to the foot of Everest, he suddenly Bu Hangle. Whole person became very terrible, the whole will not move, and face, blue lips purple, even the nails are purple, what could eat everything, and at midnight was also talking about the nonsense. So the next morning to send him immediately to the Lazi playing Diaozhen and oxygen, he seems to kick down the Diaozhen good points. But not long before he suddenly felt Buxing Le, painful death. He was all blue in the face, difficulty breathing, lips and fingernails were purple. We all strained to death, had called the car the night to send him to more than 300 kilometers outside of Shigatse large hospitals, and called the ambulance halfway to pick Shigatse. The name of Diaozhen and oxygen all the way forward. More than 300 km far from the road is not too far away, may be that all the mountain during the day were alarmed walk, let alone at night? You want to know that was all winding mountain road, ah, I'm really scared. A mistake is no residue of leftover. Those drivers to go straight day of 8 hours of road, at night and then take them Qiangdajingshen mountain, I really can not be assured. I am the way, and they have to say that is afraid of them asleep. Middle of the night 4:00 we arrived at Shigatse, the doctor the results of the preliminary examination that he got moderate pulmonary edema and cerebral edema. So we rushed to the hospital early in the morning to listen to again confirmed, but fortunately, the doctors said he only cerebral anoxia. To all the way to fight Diaozhen and oxygen. So we sent them all the way mad rush to the airport. Shigatse to Lhasa from the airport is 400 km of the mountain. In order to hurry, I do not have a continuous 25 hours a drop of water Rufu. Wait to send them on the plane, I felt that I was going to faint and hungry. The result is that I have stomach pains for a day. For me, it's nearly 30 hours of fear and the rush is really a lifetime. I really have never been so face the death. Honestly, I was really scared, but we can not show who is out because I know that someone else will rely on our support.
The trip to Tibet can be considered near misses, but fortunately we are all safely back. We all asked tour guides, and Guang Zhilv have never been over to the Mission Everest, we are the first one. (We are self-organizing groups to go, the road is their own choice) this sick situation in the ground have not encountered. Because at the local country group is relatively small. People to come to Tibet, Lhasa tour are generally only taken - Linzhi (elevation 2800 meters) of the route, the road is relatively flat. The local doctors say that our line is too radical, and people are generally the first two or three days in Lhasa, to adapt to, and our pace is too fast.
If you later go to Tibet, it is recommended you go lobbied four individuals better, on the one hand you can share car travel, to know one kilometer off-road vehicles pack Boyd 3. There, the average car or van is not walk the road, be sure to pack off-road vehicles. On the one hand there is anaphora each other. Must have a doctor to be carried by a headache medicine, even if the sleeping pills are good. Where the headache is very frequent, if headache sleep well, on what the spirit had gone. In any case we must sleep, more than what medicine is good to eat. Moreover, no to the last resort, when oxygen and the chaos is best not to take medicine, this will become dependent heart. , No matter how good the best medicine for treatment of altitude sickness do not want to eat, the effectiveness is actually not large. Far the most important thing is to fall asleep at night, if I can not sleep you can eat sleeping pills, or 100-ning of the class, as long as sleeping with, endure, they are not afraid of anything. To go there, it is best not to strenuous exercise, heart and lung could not stand it. In addition to Lhasa and Shigatse, where other places are nothing to something delicious, and sometimes there is a packet of instant noodles, it has been very thankful for. Where I lost 3 pounds, the most powerful is that he lost 7 pounds, losing weight might consider. , Where the toilet is a problem. Because dry, always feel thirsty, you always need water, but one day sit down and are in the car, a little exercise are not, so it is easy to Biede urgent. Worried and there is no way, no toilets along the way, we can only come for men and women each side, a good number of minutes that are not allowed to turn and ran wild in the wilderness years to resolve. I do not know is not already a habit, and I met in Lhasa, the urban areas on the street opened Kulian streets to solve the problem of men.
