I am still far away from heaven? Text: Goat (Goat)
Year in preparation for the busy soon be over. When you been thinking of the day comes, you hand, was very calm. As I set foot on the train in Xining, even a bit lost.
Tibet tourism, about five minutes Route: Qinghai-Tibet line, the new line of Tibet, China-Nepal line, Sichuan-Tibet line, Yunnan-Tibet line. Among them, the Qinghai-Tibet-Nepal line line and the most secure. The remaining three because the natural accident-prone, but to many brigades are discouraged. As for the Hoh Xil, Qiangtang area have not been completely open.
Because the relationship between time and money, this time I only went to Tibet three lines: the Qinghai-Tibet line (taking free truck); China-Nepal-line (including jeep); Kawakita Line (take caravan).
In Tibet of foreign tourists than domestic tourists, so many of Hospitality Management business model in Tibet is very close to travel abroad, self-help style.
Because of its geographic environment in which chartered tourism has become the main form of tourism in Tibet. Of course, no shortage of people ride a bicycle and on foot. But for students, you For in-depth understanding of Tibet's customs and enjoy the authentic Tibetan scenery, get a free ride is an ideal approach. Of course, extremely difficult.
The Tibet is just an experiment, a preparation for the next Tibet. Water journey had something of note, as a personal feeling. Only in this case, there is no other purposes.
Hope that we are to protect nature.

I am still far away from heaven? "One"
Qinghai-Tibet line from Shanghai to Lhasa
July 4 Tuesday Cloudy Shanghai ─ Xining
9:27 am, bound for Shanghai, Xining, 376 sub-car started.
I am in the car, I am on the road in Tibet.
Wednesday, July 5 Cloudy Shanghai ─ Xining
The 40-hour journey to a half beyond my accident, for the boring inside of the air, actually a little bit unable to adapt, there is a sense of vomiting, which made me feel a little worried about how much and anxiety, has been claiming that the body well, and for the The trip was relatively well prepared, I do not want a start was unexpected. In fact, mostly the feelings of reasons, I could not eat anything.
Cloudy on Thursday, July 6 ─ clear Xining
I have a ray of dawn will wake up from the cold hand on last night too horsepower air-conditioning, and cold I am shivering. I saw Huangshan, loess soil with mud-brick room, I was too familiar with the Northwest scenery. I remember last year, such as Gansu and saw the desert, I happily exclaimed. Now I like to go home in general. I came back, the Northwest, I have come back. All kind of natural, everything is so warm.
No difference between Xining and a year ago. At that time the station is being built is not yet completed, but most have been better. I bought a separate heading for Golmud sixty-eight past six p.m. pukuai 603 times, but also the remaining time to browse a stroll Xining. Like two days without food things. Here peaches are much cheaper, I bought a Erjin snack on the road to do. A shop on the roadside a prime point of a dirty soup 6 yuan for a package, think kinda extravagant. As usual, first come, waiter cup of tea, it is this part of the regulatory Ju, side dishes such as tea while. And other vegetables up when startled, the full amount of food, compared to 6 yuan is concerned, is really too cheap. I ate one meal a harsh, the next meal may be going to Golmud to eat.
Last visit to Xining, gave me the impression not very good. I've lost a beloved knife, and later a friend bought from Xinjiang send me only so that my heart is restored. This time I am on the toilet, because many things in the pot and something to eat on the chair, there is also another one brought back from Xinjiang knives, there are many other car seat next to the person. When I came back, the characters are not. I am anxious to Shangcuanxiatiao, on the bus after a one car to go look at a steadily, finally discouraged, Wan Nian Ju eliminate, depressed to the extreme. Can not be too trusting, and regardless of multiple things had to he would back his body! The beginning of travel to be so fatal blow, really mad me. Ah Q had to use to comfort themselves, finally did not lose money, to Golmud to buy go! Xining is a thief's paradise, I am biased to think that.
Friday, July 7 clear Golmud Xining ─ ─ Nagqu
Although I was fully prepared mentally, it is still at a loss for the advent of the cold night. Cracks where cold air from penetrating, I added a T-shirt, still nothing. Crimping coat at the bottom, I really do not want to spend great efforts it out. The result is so cold that I could not sleep all night all night, especially the feet, cold sore, it seems a bit swollen, has been so I can not sleep. I would like to car outside temperature should be zero under the passenger side are mostly experienced local people, wrapped themselves in large cotton-padded jacket, the half-asleep with, people envy. My eyes open to a four-point, as if to say the book Ma?? Period, I finally could not help but come up with sleeping bags shop in the seat beneath the thousand foot, and thousands of imagination stepping sleep drowsily去. The shoes are often made to pillows kicked, I woke up: After a child, spitting voice again makes me sick for a long time. In short, how sad you want to have more than uncomfortable. The only advantage is that feet got it together, and finally feeling a little bit. Now, I can forget the seat on the floor, everything that may arise.
In another four hours, went to Golmud in. What you see now is the Gobi Desert, on the last year through the "Taklamakan" big desert-like. Sunshine time is late for a 21:00.
Accompanied by two from Xining to Golmud of tea division, as well as a grown very cool little brother dressed very stylish. Sitting opposite to me, but they are not as Lianxiangxiyu is still just sit and look at me cold night. Of course, they themselves do not feel better than I do how much.
Several Tibetan youth, the car should be finished very powerful, they are singing pop songs, some even translated into Tibetan, I am infected by them, and I feel comfortable to a lot. Later, talking about a genius to know that they home in Shigatse. They always sent to Chengdu, the national primary, national secondary school. Go home once a year, tuition, living expenses, toll free, after graduating from high school, sent to Beijing and Shanghai University. Of course, the result must be good, is still free, but must return to work in Tibet after graduation. Four young men on board are to graduate this year, is to report back to Shigatse.
Qinghai should be a place where the intersection of two cultures, I can see monks dressed in ethnic costumes, wearing dark glasses, sitting, soft sleeper.
12:00, vehicle stopped at the Golmud Railway Station. I looked at the sunny days, for myself that journey is just beginning!
Everything seemed to be very smooth, I find a soldier with the help of the Tibet transport station in Golmud. Inside a little sister to see me a people to Tibet, very much concerned. So I looked for two Han Chinese master. They shipped cement to 16:00 Nagqu, and then I take the CMB into Lhasa from the Nagqu. By ten way, they call me that people who ride called phishing. On a good price is 80 yuan, in fact, much like my kind of fish, because trucks can only take one or two, so the fish are extremely limited, as a separate people into Tibet rare. Second, trucks sit cold, but cold at night especially, it just turns me how are qualified, of course, I jokingly call myself a "small fish" rather than "big oily fish," the.
There is still a matter of time two hours, sitting side to the city center teach you for a moment about the first called Jiao market place. I want to buy a missing bottle. Happens can not find how to find, and Italy's glasses do not have. Longer think of the way, there are a lot of food to buy back. Later, practice has proved that apart from loss of these foods other than on the road nothing intact. Incidentally, to my mother playing the phone.
The feeling is not very comfortable truck, only to sit straight, the car was shaking a lot. 2 driver, surnamed Gao, surnamed Lee, Shanxi. We are five minutes from Golmud in mind.
There is a small episode. Car transport station, etc., is a girl who may be called Xiaoxian (that is, who in front of the small sister), and a Uygur young men to accompany me and so on. I watched a young Uygurs a door to speak with the girls look like, and consciously tell me that the young man crush on the girl. The girl went out points such as goods, I am implicitly asked who Uygur youth, God bless, it really is the case, but the girls who do not know. Uygur Youth was surprised my eyes, "why she had no feeling for six months out, and you look out on a second?" I smiled, I wonder if he understands the Chinese language, "spectators" do? And the eyes of girls and boys to see loved ones is of course different. Of course, he was unwilling to miss this opportunity, he fears, he can not say. So let me say to the girl. Some think that two all came to a good fit, and I pull the car in the Pro girls, so it goes on, so to say that such a pass. The girl was surprised to hear Ye Hao, happily or, the following things with me matt, and immediately hopped in the cab, slide also! The little girl the story of the outcome of how the big boys, for the time being refrain from that.
Several drivers dinner at Xidatan resolved. I have also been enthusiastically invited meal a meal. I helped them photographed a few similar, in general cooked quite in the mix. They admire my kind of adventurous spirit, but also very worried, and they advised me to join back to Golmud. I smiled, "I always run into good people like you, how worried about it?" Yes! Now that came out, how can return? Is never flinch do?
The evening is the two drivers take turns driving, and I also started after Chibaohezu drowsy. I can only sleep sitting, wrapped casually wrapped in sleeping bags out to the window on the tripod is very difficult to sleep. Car is very strong shake, I drowsily, cold, sleeping bags did not play its a very good function. Among vague, I think the head is very sore, like a crack-like, with the car every beat, it is too fragmented and split, but soon composite; eyes seemed to pop out of the dark too, and very dry lips hard may end up with skin, are the gas within the cranial cavity. Inflation! Inflation! Inflation! ! ! I was very uncomfortable, I gently said: "Master, how much sea level?" "More than 3000!" No That's right! And the Golmud summoned up the courage, can not be altitude sickness. Cold! I think it's a cold. The thought of a cold, I was very scared, I had heard that a cold can cause pulmonary edema in Tibet. I do not exercise the body do? How a cold, mostly cold. I know that place where medicine, but I did not take strength, nor wish to bring up. Drowsy daze, but also come up with sleep music, a harsh smell of the few, it seems a bit easier, there is that no use. In this way has been struggling, it is trapped, it is difficult subject, but I can not sleep. I started thinking about my mother, and started thinking about friends. Last year, the Silk Road trip I also won a gastric anti-disease (toothache painkillers when I ate too much), then I am also very much like her mother. Now, I am also. Suddenly, high-pushed me with "Look, the birthplace of the Yangtze River, Tuotuohe!" I instinctively turned away to go take a look at the dark, dimly seen an Jiao, Jiao the black kick into gear, and could see nothing, it seems there is running water sounds. I quickly closed my eyes, Tuotuohe! Edges of Go! This lady got a cold! Feels like the only close your eyes, pushed higher again, I woke up. I opened his eyes, Liang-liang to stab people, beep, white! I do not know when it snowed, and hard. Hill gave a shop were piles of white, like bread-like, soft snow against the background color, the beautiful mountain arc extends to commence until the end of the line of sight, the snow is very evenly distributed, so you can see just a white, others were covered in retreat. In the noble white face, you can not resist the breeding of low self-esteem, and are not ashamed, willing, and concessions on the concession bar! Even if you're not convinced, for the sake of a beautiful, what complaint do you have? Head does not hurt, and eyeball has been retracted the original seat of the! I am desperate to pick up a camera to take a shot, I know that the car looks to be ineffective, but I still can not help, as if to shoot is a sin, nature is really strange in June under the snow, high - said that even in Tibet, which is rare. It seems I was indeed a lucky girl.
When I wake up again when the time has come to Tanggula soon. Because it is full of snow, could not open eyes, and I just barely saw a stone commemorating the Qinghai-Tibet highway, like, there is a Mani Dui, I will give drivers side of the stone according to a number of statues made their Quedui Mani Dui stay. White shrouded horizon, this brightly colored cloth first in Jigen pulled by a rope, was able to penetrate the white obstacles, in the vast display of their existence, although small, just a little would have been sufficient. Inner strength easier to drive straight, landed in people's hearts. Small Mani Dui so pious worship of countless believers, but also that they live on hope and pillars. The more full-color world, the more so that Mani Dui clearly exists. My eyes have not studied, only the wind triumphantly around the sacred mountains and holy lakes of the streamer Tibetan pilgrimage old.
Spirit are intertwined, although there is a variety of different each other.
【Note: from Qinghai to Tibet may be long-distance car ride 130 yuan, but you want to save money and have free time taking pictures, choose the free ride is a good idea. Ride is not hard to find, in the Golmud station to ask the transportation is very easy to find the. For insurance purposes, the best choice Han's car, the driver is good or bad way to the decisive factor in the level of safety factor. 】
Saturday, July 8 Yin Nagqu
Nagqu is a very broken town, the town is full of Sichuan Museum, Xunhua snacks. So far, I have yet to figure out, Xunhua in the end is not a place names? The absence of a complete flat streets, goats in the garbage looking for food, a variety of dogs jumping around, dirty. Tibetans began to rise more than another, and sometimes feel they are cute, wearing distinctive costumes, but the feet are shoes with Nike's sports cap or the head. Tibetan and Uygur people, for health, stress and Han Chinese, they were able year-round dressed in thick clothes, only washed once, when St. Bath. Under the impact of modern civilization and culture, has quietly changed.
I am lodging in the National Hotel. First thought was taking a bath. My body pretty well, cold symptoms have been weakened. Tanggula I do not think I had any abnormal time. Everything can, I thought of a bath. In Tibet, Xinjiang expensive than taking a bath, a Wu Yuan, and the water is lukewarm, until I feel that this temperature and Wu Yuan is not directly proportional, I have begun shouting waitress, and then began to tend to the proportion of co-ordination. Wash the bath, the spirit of a lot better yesterday evening meal early evening car Tude spotless. What makes me more uneasy is that late night stop the dark to the toilet, stepped into a foul ditch, half pants wet, and the ditch has been the flavor of the day I had no appetite. Now empty stomach, looked for a hotel to see is also the cheapest noodles, Wu Yuan, casually ordered a bowl of pork noodles. Such as time, saliva must flow out, the surface came, ate a little and then I tried I could not eat a half gone, and felt wasted, afraid of eat vomit hand, more harm than good, had no choice but to leave the rest of the bowl surface.
Erupted in the restoration of human kind of like. Sometimes people are particularly vulnerable to meet, especially now.
I live in 208 rooms, the driver can not unload their cargo because of the weekend, but also live in the 207 and 210, they are afraid of me at night something happens that one has happened to knock on their door. What happened was indeed give me the opportunity to knock on their door.
I would like to have a good sleep, because in here that I am really Nagqu plateau reaction, chest tightness, breathing or not, the slightest movement of asthma. Will be adapted to a good night's sleep, I think so.
About 12:00 or so, the waiter picking up a Tibetan youth, come in, that there is no room in the same room with me, I am the boss offers a sense of gratitude in house prices + on the goodwill of the Tibetan Youth + no energy to argue cases, three factors agreed. Youth who lie down, close the lights, we Tanleyihui days. But I really tired, Bu Zhisheng had. He is always talking down to me for medicine, buy medicine, I am listening to a sleep. Confused in as if he slept with me talking, I refused, he said he neat attire, there was nothing to fear. I still refused, I said I have a headache, do you honestly hang out in bed, next to my friend, as I shouted, they will come. He said nothing to nothing, before I make it clear that he would climb up my bed came. Then I found a knife and no, I do not know where the Swiss Army knife threw gone. I am afraid that is no longer being, I just feel tired. I said I want the toilet, he actually helped me turn on the lights, I was afraid he stopped I went out, and quickly ran to the door a little. He also ran, "I can help you turn on the lights! I can help you turn on the lights!" He turned out to help me turn on the lights, I went straight to next door locks Yiniu 207. I crack the 207 rooms, and ordered a master to my room to sleep, and his change wards. Young people who found out one man and one woman came in, and scared the boss called for the room. I went back a total of 208 rooms. A while, Lee knocked on the door by the lipstick Tu Tu, and took a bottle of water, said dry mouth. After a while another child, the young man again Mengen, saying that the boss was and I told him the same room, this is not how do I open the door, his children after a while, maybe gone, the door did not sound. I was too tired, and one night, constantly run up and down, I really get tired. When I go to sleep just when, someone knocked on the door, is high, I am forced to again rise. He said he just saw the young man walked up and down in the corridor, for fear I would crash, come take a look. He asked me if he could not sleep in here, there can be anaphoric. I'd love this way, not even imagined I agreed. Began, he said that keeping lights on, after a while child, he shut up, saying that light is too bright can not sleep. After a while another child, he added thirsty, I found him really annoying, work more and to death. I have great difficulties, and did not air any attention to him, saying that there is water on the table. Hear his voice getting up, drink the sound, then is not right, he climbed on my bed to a sudden, he wanted to sleep with me! I was really, and I have been as high as my brother look at the road he was to take care of me, and I Nagqu had confiscated travel, I have always been well disposed to him Tingyou Unexpectedly, could even suggest such a thing happened. Mother's, the world of the men how it? I am angry Geological asked him: "I have always treated you as a brother, how could you do that?" Told him not to go nuts, just want to hold me to sleep, "and that gangsters who you and just what is the difference? If you can not stand , called the boss to help you find a prostitute! "He's angry," I can not so degrading! "I do not know where's the effort, and loudly shouted:" Do me so degrading? "he did not speak, after a while children, murmured said: "Since you ignored me even in!" After one second, he bowed his head softly, said: "I'm sorry, tomorrow I will ride you up." He went back to his room. We are all happy, I do not even bother to get up and locked the door, and such things have happened, and you have nothing to worry about. I do not think many would like, they fell asleep. This world, everything, do not easily feel strange!
【Insert: into the Qinghai-Tibet Railway pass inspection, I have black face with a towel wrapped to prevent a result, the checkpoint thought I was a foreigner, I simply wanted to come up with all of the documents before they can, toss another half an hour did not leave until I had cards. Heard that quite tense situation in the past few years is that it should be strict control of foreigners more. 】
July 9 Sunday Cloudy Nagqu ─ Lhasa
I actually even made a high on the CMB to Lhasa, I was sitting in this train, coming from Xining, full cars stink to death, there are also Tibetan Chinese. I lay on a mat in a chair, but also regardless of what is and has been sleeping in there, water, no food. I just with open eyes, to their minds. Were weak, it is very easy to feel lonely, then you will be hard memories. Just over 300 km road, this train ran nearly 15 hours to 10 pm in Lhasa has been.
Can not help but to family, friends, phone calls, finally arrived in Lhasa, and heard the familiar voice, I speak also was choked with sobs, not knowing why, always feel particularly aggrieved, but we can not say they would worry.
Spending the Night in highland hotel, a bath, climbed in bed, get a good rest bar! The book said that the hotel has a shower. Shit! I used the vacuum bottle wash, cold dead me.
