The first day of
At 4:20 am, the hotel's Morning Call and cell phones have alarm clock wake me. Chengdu meticulous detail accompanied by delicate, light rain, accompanied by six individuals arrived in the collection sites.
Our point of departure is only 500 meters above sea level Chengdu Shuangliu Airport, 2 hours later arrived at is the altitude of 3600 meters De Gonggar Airport in Lhasa. The flight from Chengdu to Lhasa, among the most experience among the flight is bumpy, but for me, every time bumps are so natural; because it is the altitude of the flight, one of the largest span do? Joy and excitement among the, A340 aircraft landed at Lhasa airport, the safety of the runway. May be due to frequent travel by plane has caused me when the plane, is also what people say, do not feel altitude reaction. At the airport, we saw this guide ----- Su Gang. In this way, Tibet trip began. . . . . .
From Lhasa Gonggar airport to the city there are more than 90 kilometers away from our car to go almost 2 hours. The afternoon's biggest task is to sleep, but woke up, the greatest feeling to make money, that is to come here before, the most heard four words ---- altitude sickness; brisk walking some, no; on the stairs, no; even speak too fast, for those of us on the plateau for the first time people who are relatively difficult. In the guide's suggestion, we have adopted a way of oxygen did not immediately adapt to the body's response, the same as the tour guide said that stimulate their own potential.
At night, or bought Rhodiola Oral Liquid (which is a complementary medicine red blood cells), hurriedly drank two bottles, felt a lot better. That night, and repeatedly, and repeatedly, always can not sleep.
Night, this night in Lhasa. . . . . . . . . . . . (June 2 in Lhasa)
Next
The next day, Tibet trip for me is the excitement and difficulties in parallel. Excited to finally involved in my dream the Potala Palace, where the feelings are really probably can not use language to express. Before this, I have also seen the church of Rome, the Roman Colosseum, the Louvre in Paris; also have seen a number of famous European Renaissance paintings, architecture, sculpture, etc., but they are given by the I am just a gesture of respect or as a surprise; in here, in the Potala Palace, which I found that I was not a surprise, but a moved and touched by the genuineness. I do not know that I moved from where, just guessing that perhaps this is the power of a Buddha bar!
I stood in the Potala Palace Square, feel the warm sunshine here, I know that this brilliant sun; I understand the warmth of the sun; I understand what the other side of days like the concern an uncontrolled run, I see the other side of the mountain what it was like a miss.
Difficulties in the plateau today is more intense reaction, but I do not live up to expectations that the temperature has reached 37.9 degrees, cold for the first people on the plateau is fatal, and I became the primary task of taking medicine. Drugs for the trip, I am prepared very full. "During the day look at the temple at night to sleep + medicine" has become my main work today. 20 o'clock is too early to start 12 hours of sleep, which for me is a new record for many years. Because in the Mainland of sleep on weekdays and never more than six hours.
Snatch sleep, and sleep. . . . . . (June 4 meeting recorded in Lhasa)
Day
Today's Lhasa, cloudy. Even cloudy, the sky is blue. Tibet Museum and the Jokhang Temple is clearly not as good as attractive for our Potala Palace, perhaps precisely because of this, standing on top of a distance, the Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple in Temple, the feeling was really different, and can be unexpected found that MTV "Sister Drum" in the opening shot of the temple come out top of the Jokhang Temple.
Very often, we revel in "" Back to Lhasa, "" joy; appreciation of the "" plateau "" a high-pitched; feeling a "" home "" in the affection; Experience the "" Sister Drum "" bitter ; but when you really are in Tibet are in Lhasa; from here into the eyes of the people to pray, you are and understand what is religion; what is worship; What is Tibet; What is the Lhasa; where you experience was a complete shock, was a kind of derived from do not know when to begin such a thing of the nature of shock. In front of the Jokhang Monastery to see a young man from Sichuan, he is one step at a life-sized Changgui came to Lhasa, and not for anything else, just to the hearts of a desire to (As to what the wishes, we can not have no idea, but from his eyes and demeanor, and I know it has to be a beautiful beautiful wonderful desire). We flew from Chengdu to Lhasa and needed nearly two hours, he is a step by step (kneeling) to Lhasa, what is so moved me? Yourself!
In the Barkhor, you can see another side of the city. Here prosperous, rich, diverse, you can experience different cultures, different customs, here is a window, here is one of the world. (June 4 in Lhasa)
Fourth day
Today's journey I am afraid of my life can not be forgotten. Because today we are going to the trip was 280 km away from Lhasa, Tibet's second largest city, Shigatse ------. We left Lhasa 3600 meters, 4794 meters above sea level on the way through the Di film "" Red River Valley "" to shoot one of the sites ----- Yang Yong lake elevation of 5200 meters of cards if the pull-glacier. Used to be only 280 kilometers of the trip, because we have chosen such a mountain before the line turned into a 350 km, and the first 4 hours away is basically winding mountain roads. Way to look at far and near the mountains, mountain color or black or dark blue or light blue, or green, you can view a variety of colors can be seen among the mountains, our mood also varies with the mountains. . .
To 5200 meters of the card if the pull glacier, I was almost no way to get off the lack of oxygen. The advice in the guide, I am firmly in the car of oxygen absorption of the mouth, hard out of the car. Vehicles may be under the impression more of a fresh, shoot photos to fairly natural. May already have forgotten to laugh, but know that he has reached the highest point of the trip. Usually the ordinary visitor to Tibet can only wait until 5200 or so; course, if necessary through the Tanggula, then you can reach 5500 meters, where there is a limit of tourists into Tibet. . . . . .
After nearly 10-hour drive, we finally arrived at today's destination ----- Shigatse. The car entered the city, the car and guides players as the distance was almost the same time hard to sing "My home in Shigatse, where a beautiful river 。。。"( June 5 at Shigatse)
Fifth day
Today is April 15th Tibetan calendar is Sagadawa Festival. Early in the morning, we came to the Tashilhunpo, where Master Panchen Lama on display. As the holiday reasons, the temple people are doing it today. Here you can clearly feel the Tibetan people for the respect and affection of the Panchen Lama.
Back to Lhasa from Shigatse tour we just spent 6 hours, there is no disc mountain walking. Along the way we have laughter, because all of the people have no altitude sickness. Evening, we know that this was our last night in Lhasa. We are prepared beer, ready to Pop the Cork. Dinner, we invited the Tibetan service staff to sing a few songs for us, when the girls sing for me a few days we have been very familiar with the song "" Shambhala is not far away "" when I cried. You say that I drank too much. However, we were just beginning to drink, how to say I drink out?
What makes me so emotional it? Is a simple lyrics do? Possible, "There is a beautiful place, people regarded it aspire to" is a Tibetan girl, do the simple smile? Possible, the girl's face red table v. her innocence and goodness. Here was born to do the kind of Tibetan singing? May arise, they Xingyunliushui like singing in the Mainland is absolutely, experience. In the end what is it? I found that I had deeply love this place, and I dare not say I love this place, because I still do not have this right, but I have started nostalgia of this place, this city, I already miss this place, where of everything. . . . . .
Tomorrow morning, we will leave Lhasa, Tibet had left. This night, this night in Lhasa, let me recently, away from Lhasa, and then recently, Bar (June 7, Chengdu fill kee)
On the sixth day
Morning, we had to leave Lhasa
The car, several people in the past few days, the feeling of Shenkan
The car stereo has been playing "Phoenix Paradise" and "Shambhala is not far away." Came here, I feel Gonggar Airport more than 90 kilometers away from Lhasa, is so long, but today felt exceptionally short. To the airport, I will own "Tibet Tour" that book gave a tour Su Gang.
Perhaps this different, in this life will not meet again. This thought is somewhat bleak, but this is the Life, oh! However, no matter what, I will come back to this place, because there I'm looking for something, because there are things I left.
Far from the city, Lhasa! Near the airport, Gonggar!
Good-bye, Lhasa! Good-bye, Tibet!
Good-bye, I began to feel in cities,
Good-bye, I began to miss the place,
I will come back, come back in Tibet, once again "back to Lhasa"!
