Hu Dongyue
■ That summer, the Tangfangudao on the ride in the passing of the Yellow River source, of course, now there is a difference between Road and ancient, but roughly the same direction, similar, basically the same, but the difference here in the Yellow River source out of tens of kilometers, So I decided to go with the companion E-Ling Wu take a look.
Maduo County Government Guest House out of the morning, riding for two hours to the old fishing grounds, and saw the sea-like lake E Ling heart suddenly drunk, we went to when the weather good, E-Ling lake in the sun's shining even more beautiful and moving.
■ I have seen a few hundred meters inscribed with "the sixth forbearance" by the Wall
Plateau said the day as they please, hurry to the destination to come to a shower, originally as Beijing Mid-Autumn Festival day, suddenly turned into a "winter", the temperature dropped a lot about this gift on his arrival, gave us a wash Zheng Chen , Do not this piece of dust into the net.
Come all the way to see a building, measures and even went to wow Ga, which is a small block villages, the village side has a relatively "massive" temple - measures wow and even then the multi-card Ga Temple, the monastery for Ling Lake, back in accordance with wow even Garbo measures are mountains, up to several hundred meters of the inscription, "the sixth forbearance" by Mani stone walls and pagoda, multi-card temple attracted me the most is the most distinctive Buddhist temples in southern Qinghai, streamer, which is a wood frame or a Jusan support, streamer cabinets, very attractive.
Locals are very warm (Unfortunately, there is a language barrier), invited us to their lives, but our aim is closer to nature, so we in the lake shore up tents on the grass when we have good teams, after the old Tibetan local curiously touched the tent, a long time and refuse to leave.
Early the next day we ride up the mountain to see the monument horn, winding spiral forward to the peak, this road is extremely worn out, and finally to the mountain top, where an elevation of 4610 meters, horns on the construction of this monument, the monument stands 3 meters, Beizuo 2 meters high on Hu Yaobang and the Panchen Lama were used in Chinese and Tibetan inscribed, "the source of the Yellow River," four Chinese characters, are inlaid copper mold. Monument overlooks the four weeks from the horn, E-Ling Wu, Zhaling Hu panoramic view, as if the two mountains encircling the pearl.
■ exotic animals and birds with the hole phenomenon
The Yellow River source region, a special ecological environment of the plateau, for the survival of alpine wild animals provided the conditions, the light there are eight kinds of fish, there are six kinds of birds, where there is a strange phenomenon - animals and birds with the hole, brown on the sly frequented by ducks and rabbits and other rodents in the marmot, and an abandoned cave, which these caves as a breeding or to escape predators and inclement weather, high altitude shelter, chicks grow up to be able to fly inside the cave, when out of its hole, as they adapted to the plateau environment, "do as the Romans", and became the resident birds.
■ far to see that the Tibetan wild ass
As we covet E-Ling lake beauty, decided to spend the night, tents on the bar in the old fishing grounds on the edge of the grass, where the grass is very thick, sleep on the top was very comfortable, is the best wild life areas -- fresh air, no pollution, no visitors, even locals are very few, only the beautiful scenery and wild animals to accompany.
Morning drilled tents, far from seeing the Tibetan wild donkey, on a plateau several times, this is the first time to see the Tibetan wild donkey, I would like to see it plateau Bad Wolf, a pity that I aspire not to be fulfilled.
Today is the day to leave the E-Ling Wu, before leaving about how have to swim into the water, or heart always felt something was lacking, the lake is still relatively cool, but it feels good, I have to swim at high altitudes, but this time and to the second biggest difference is that - clean, you can drink water directly, in addition to others to wait no companions, very quiet, like really into them.
The time to leave, suddenly there is a Nanshe it hard to leave the attachment, ride cars, pedal several times, a back, really do not want to leave, playing outdoor activities, nearly 20 years, this is the first time, it is is sad, as if falling out of love in general.
Can not find E-Ling Wu, the edge riding side thought, I think every one likened to the Yellow River Mother River of China, should this pilgrimage, even if only once a lifetime.
