Many people there are too many reasons for fear dare Tibet; I go, there is only one reason: because I'm going, so I went.
Do not have much preparation, that is, the Internet search a bit about the route, weather and so on, September 9, I, brought a finders bought the knife, she drives her little truck has been six years old under the age of the seat nag - Volkswagen Poussin cars, set out.
Road will be long xi
At 9:54 on the 9th by the Hangzhou-Ningbo Cixi High-speed, over-Huzhou, Wuhu, all the way high-speed, road conditions good, 18 o'clock we arrived in Bengbu smoothly.
Starting at 7:00 on the 10th, intended to jump the queue in Xi'an, one-day li go through Anhui, too Henan, Shaanxi, the task is arduous, they had been in Kaifeng, Zhengzhou and not into, and pass by the famous Shaolin Temple in the afternoon and reached historic military fortress - Tongguan, then entered the territory of Shaanxi Province, Xi'an in the evening to 5:30. 1,600 km journey on the 2nd. BMW is said to Ferghana day trip thousands of miles, nocturnal 800, my "horse" double children, but also OK.
Xi'an
11, Xian tour.
Xi'an ancient times known as Chang'an, is located in the Guanzhong Plain, central, commanding 800 years Qinchuan, north across the Weihe River, south Qinling. Xi'an ancient times, that is, "Qin emperor in ancient times, state" reputation, the history of Shang and Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties in this 12 its capital, lasted for 1,100 years, is the world famous city of Athens, Cairo, Rome famous as one of the world's four major ancient civilizations. "Chang", "Central Plains" these terms, than the "Coastal", "developed" more of their cultural heritage, and even more enticing to me, in any case have to linger on this day. The Xi'an, the most enlightening is the eighth wonder of the world known as the terracotta warriors and horses of the.
Terracotta is a hole of the Pei Zangkeng in one of the many, Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is located in Xi'an, north-east of the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, the entire cemetery to seal the mound as the center from east to west, north and south 7.5 kilometers long, covers an area of over 56.25 square kilometers, in China emperors tomb, with its large-scale, world-famous burial rich. However, because of various reasons, so far not yet excavated, we can only see a huge mound, there is not much of an ornamental.
The magnificent Terracotta Warriors, Terracotta Army Pit nearly 3 8000 figurines, pottery horses were deployed in nearly 2 million square meters of land, the visual representation of the Qin army best players together in the grand scenes, figurines average height of 1.8 m, Tao Ma 1.7 meters tall, length 2 m, each piece figurines large body structure, as small as hair, eyebrows, all carved meticulously. These different figurines, there are tall and burly, Qi Yu extraordinary general, there are awe-inspiring fortitude, battle-hardened military attache, more looked different, vivid portrayal of soldiers, can be described as thousands of people of a Thousand Faces, and do not identical, I am pleased Anger funeral music, each with their feelings is completely then a true portrayal of Qin soldiers. Place in them, the Millennium reminding us of scenes and fast, actually I do not know right here, or I am right here.
Within the four seas are brothers
Farewell Xi'an, yes 12, 8:00 am. Before this, the distance is not a high-speed, that is, provincial, road conditions are good, I thought he could have Xiong Jiujiu, gas and high-spirited to do advance Lhasa Unexpectedly, 10:30 am, see the dark mass of a long queue of cars, near to a question, the original front of the cave due to , this place has been a traffic jam for seven days. Heard of Baoji, Tianshui, Gansu Province is due to winding roads, frequent traffic jams, but seven days ago, they nest here, could not move, which in any case beyond my imagination. Fortunately, there are already 12 o'clock news that will be opened to traffic today, I not but Xiachu soon as cold sweat, if not in Xi'an yesterday's rest day, not to make good time consumption where it?
12:00, and indeed the opening of the.
Rare can be a good way to run, my "horse" would cast of the hoof, detestable is behind the red car has the gall Zheliang than me, how can concede it? Sometimes I catch up ... ... in front, sometimes he was ahead, but ultimately the performance of his throne is stronger than my old horse, on the speed they Yi Liuyan to disappear. My old horse is also hungry, and was about to admit defeat, clever, and it is also gas stations, is really a hero Brief Encounter, sympathetic. They have two people, my hometown in Hebei, to do a project in Dulan. They are one day earlier than I do out of Xian, but blocked the road for a day. Single way in the world have this benefit, within the four seas are brothers, the moment we decided to peer way. On the road because their car out of a little problem, Momo endure hard life is, at 9:30, accompanied by only came to Xining, the date of travel 860 kilometers.
Tar beauty of Qinghai Lake
13, in recognition of the companions, we intend to this day just to Dulan. Xining to Dulan was more than 400 kilometers, the time for me up suddenly generous.
The urban area 25 kilometers southwest of Xining, there are blocks Tar is a well-known, one of six lamasery (the other five of the Sera Monastery in Tibet, Drepung Monastery, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Ganden Monastery and Labrang in Gansu Temple), is also the birthplace of Tsongkhapa, founder of the Yellow Sect of Lamaism. Are still far away from the temple, it is a grand and splendid dazzling gilded tower, and colorful painted buildings of the shock, according to the gentle slopes of the temple construction, Diange, after church, pagoda, shag Goulian constantly doing all the spectacular conflict. Teramae 8 wishful towers side by side, Taki's vivid lifelike painted sculptures Tota king. Because the tower Temple and therefore called Tarr (children) Temple. Temple of the Butter Sculpture, murals and Duixiu, known as "Tar Ruin" the courtyard there are several strains of trees, leaves thin gray, fragrant smell of the temple monks told this is the bodhi tree, that is, when Sakyamuni taught Wu shelter of the trees, it really is more spiritual than any tree; Tar steady stream of the faithful, four creeping worship. Cult who want to take off their shoes to the socks, the first is located in the place mat with both hands put on thick cloth, forever, the friction had appeared on the floor two deep grooves, really a combination of piety and strength. I saw a Buddhist temple before the monks concentrate on a small Koubai, Fuseshita to stand up again and again, totally disregarding the visitors around the eyes, lenses.
Their car in need of repair something, I just let the teacher help the mainland to see my car. Master on improving coastal car sympathetically, some check, the spark plug adjusted a bit, saying that because of lack of oxygen, so that ignition advance, after he was an instrument the it is really God, the car power increases the speed click to open to 140 Ma.
11:30 out of Xining, too huangyuan gorge and soon to Riyue.
Riyue, Tang Dynasty, when the name Akamine, in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, elevation 3520 meters. Princess Wen Cheng said that year, and the pro-Songtsan, after the mountain, East Chang'an not see his homeland, monastery is surrounded by the West balcony, green and wild and fog, so sad from the heart, the accidentally dropped thanks to the departure of the sun and the moon Hokyo when the Empress , Hokyo divided into two, half days into gold, half silver into a month, the Princess's tears were merged into a surging daotanghe, since ancient times, only to hear "a Spring River Flows East", daotanghe the river it flows east to the west, accompanied the Princess Wen Cheng to the Qinghai Lake.
Qinghai Lake is China's largest saltwater lake, more than 3260 meters above sea level, covering an area over 4400 square km. Blue sky, such as washing, white clouds too busy, sparkling lake Qinghai Lake, green, such as dyeing, the Qing were translucent, standing on the shore, there is wind, the Jing Si buttressed by thick buttered tea incense. Unfortunately, a little late season, Bird Island birds are flying south, the lake saw rape, the rape not seen to open, said the best scenery of Qinghai Lake - yellow, green water, blue sky it is time Qiba Yue scenery. From east to west around the lake and the trip took an hour.
5:30 pm, to Dulan, west 5:30, the sun is also Lao Gao go again. Hebei friends to do the works of people actually Ningbo, Ningbo and Cixi who meet in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is really intimate.
Hoh Xil, Kunlun Mountains
14, 8:00 am, bid farewell to new acquaintances, and then became a single journey. Yesterday or the sky blue, grass green, but today is the endless expanses of the Gobi Desert, which is well-known Qaidam Basin. The monastery is surrounded look around, only the horizon and the vast expanse of yellow sand, gravel, pebbles, and the vast endless road together to the remote office. However, an excellent road, too, though only two lanes, but Lu-Ping Road, straight trucks less 11:00, they arrive at Golmud. Qinghai-Tibet Railway from Golmud to Lhasa is, I think difficult and challenging of the last minute began.
Xining, even when out of snow-capped mountains are, and have a Golmud, snow-capped mountains, the more, and also no longer had possession of the first hidden face. More than 100 kilometers to the southwest, went to the Kunlun Pass, which is across the Qinghai-Tibet highway must pass through the Kunlun Mountains, the altitude of 4767 meters. Boarding pass, Kunlun, five thousand years stand with a single step, as the towering Kunlun's Qianfeng Wanhe the group dressed in silver armor group gallop, with the surging, roll forward. Think of the martial arts world famous names were on the Kunlun Mountains were here, can not help but Dunsheng lofty.
To the Hoh Xil, can not help but think of the beautiful fell on a pool of blood with open eyes of the Tibetan antelope. Hoh Xil Mongolian meaning "Beautiful Girl", sandwiched between the Tanggula and Kunlun Mountains, an area of 8.3 million square kilometers. Is the world's third-largest no man's land, the Hoh Xil high and steep terrain, weather is cold, windy all year round, with an average altitude of 5,000 meters above the Hoh Xil has up to more than 230 kinds of wild animals, harsh living environment Queshi Hoh Xil, a wildlife paradise, place where people can live animals have to extinction, and this paradox is not really a great human irony?
And then in the past is the five beams, 4,800 meters above sea level. As the saying goes, "Driving through five beams but not the father and mother", saying that the terrain is dangerous here, because from the five beams begin until the Tanggula pass, elevation from 4,000 meters to 5100 meters helicopter. Originally thought that after a five beams, they will not see creatures had no idea that there is green grass and flocks of yaks, a vitality.
7:00 pm After a Tuotuohe bridge, which is the source of the Yangtze River. To do with his physical strength and time, the car has always been open until the sun sets, 9:00 pm, to a place called Yanshiping ready for the next day to climb over their savings Tanggula pass physical fitness. This time, 9:00, also 8:00 Cixi's bar, due to its high altitude, the sun sets may also seem to be particularly late. Day in 851 kilometers.
Crossing the Tanggula pass
At 8:00 on the 15th five beams dangerous really come true, and could not sleep all night last night, headache, extending from the back of the head to the temple, but also spread to the eyes, the eyes began to ache, legs like lead-filled, like sour Shen, whole body fatigue. A strong sense of oxygen, shortness of breath, often when going to sleep, but also because of the suffocating sense of the sudden burst of a rude awakening, and so forth can only toss and turn in bed, sleeping position, no matter what the heart felt oppressed, throb incessantly. The quilt was covered thick, like the big rock, like a moment we feel that whole body dry and hot, kicked the quilt will be a feel cold, hot and cold alternately, nose and mouth dry, cracked lips, will do this die? Can only hope that Tianzao light, which is a bar altitude sickness. The morning, perhaps due to repeated lifting the quilt a little bit cold at night, breathing hot, runny nose, cough, a little fever, but the challenge of crossing the mouth of the temptation Tanggula me, excited me, and thin crisp highland air again makes me full of energy .
Tanggula, Tibetan "plateau on the Mountain", due to year-round hit by snowstorms, known as "wind and snow storage." Tanggula is the dividing line between Qinghai and Tibet, 5231 meters above sea level, over the Tanggula mouth, that is within the borders of Tibet. "Over the last look is a mountain, far as Sichuan," stop standing monument sign at Yamaguchi, feeling it is Yimapingchuan sky blue, the low on the mountain was short, the distance of the snow peak years are not echoed the same Didi De clouds, everything is so quiet, only the monument sign adjacent to the streamer fluttering sound of the Tibetan people.
Turned over Tanggula, that is Tibet. Panshan Road blew out, and a slight headache subsided, to Nagqu town until 2:00 pm and traveled 322 kilometers. Because of altitude sickness, so that this Chengcheng the most difficult section of this line, and the most to prove my will and physical paragraph. Nagqu 4700 meters above sea level.
Back to Lhasa, back to Abdallah
Such a mind has been swirling lyrics: "Back in Lhasa, back to Abdallah."
At 10:00 on the 16th starting from Nagqu, 3:00 pm finally arrived in Lhasa.
Because I'm going, so I went to Lhasa. I and my horse to teach walking on the streets of Lhasa, which lasted eight days and traveled more than 4000 kilometers. I finally reached Lhasa, in my heart the Holy Land, "Lhasa" in Tibetan means the "Holy Land" or "Buddha" was intended. I think I beat myself, and what the future will be difficult things to me?
17, the morning early to go to pilgrimage to the Potala Palace.
The Potala Palace is located in the northwest city of Mabu Day Hill (Red Hill), more than 3700 meters above sea level, covering a total area of 36 thousand square meters, total construction area of 13 thousand square meters, 117 meters high main building, a total of 13 floors, all of for the stone and wood structure. Magnificent, magnificent, "Abdallah," Temple, the Buddhist holy Sanskrit meaning is "Putuo," a transliteration of that Guanyin Bodhisattva of residence of the island, was originally No. 32 on behalf of the Tubo Dynasty Tsenpo Songtsan (7th century AD ) for married Princess Wen Cheng in this building palaces, called "Red Mountain Palace", the latter built by the fifth Dalai Lama became supreme, a symbol of theocratic regime.
The Potala Palace is divided into two parts: the Red Palace and the White House. Ranking the Central Red Palace, mainly for religious affairs. Red Palace placed the remains of past life of the Dalai Lama, in order to Gympie tower package, Baoyu inlaid, gilded, in which Lama, the Dalai Lama to V, the most spectacular. This is a basilica that was built on three floors up and down run through a large urn, Tazuo tower bottle wrapped with 11 million taels of gold, and all kinds of jewelry containing more than 1,500 pieces, priceless, known as "Mr Lam Cheuk plus", meaning "the world's first solemn." Wings brush powder is the White House, is the Dalai Lama daily life and political events. These halls bustling construction and exquisite furnishings, the Dalai Lama and chambers are particularly prominent, tea chase Jinhuyuwan exquisite exquisite, brocade embroidery bedding honor eye-catching.
The afternoon went to the Jokhang Temple. Most people think that Lhasa is the Potala Palace, Barkhor Street, Jokhang Temple, Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery and the composition of Lhasa River, in fact, the eyes of Tibetans, Lhasa, Jokhang Temple is the main means of Parknor Street area, Tibet Man means Buddha, irrespective of when the pilgrims could be seen kowtowing in front of the Jokhang Temple, the scene is very moving, we can see that the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, the status of people's minds high.
Jokhang Temple was built in Tang Dynasty, 21 years. Temple enshrines Sakyamuni, Culture and into a princess, like statues of the Buddha like Zhugong Princess Wen Cheng brought into the fan's.

Towers, carved beams is the Tibetan style, the main hall 2, Yan Xia three rows of 103-volt animal carvings and Sphinx, but also showing features of the style of Nepal and India. Temple has a long nearly 1000 meters of the Tibetan murals (Princess Wen Cheng Tibet map) and "the construction of the Jokhang Temple map", as well as two of the defending God Ming embroidery Thangka, which is dedicated to the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism of the Buddha of the two, for a rare art treasures.
Sports resort in Lhasa at night watching a very strong ethnic characteristics Tibetan song and dance performances, and comes back is still as enthusiastic, altitude sickness is not very clear.
This is a beautiful mistake
18, I looked for a local Tibet travel agency, sign up to Mount Everest. Maybe Everest gave me the feeling was so far off, when it starts, my heart is only to the Potala Palace in Lhasa to see and feel the wind highland plateau of the sun, but in Tibet, in fact I know from my Everest very close, "less than Mount Everest of non-hero," too many variables driving, Cou and the tours also bar. Everest in the Shigatse region to the south, along with Kamiyama, holy lakes, grasslands, famous monasteries and temples ... ...
19, the morning of our departure, and a regiment of a total of nine, "Heroes", seven men and two women, four Cantonese, two North-East people, two in Hunan, we multiply is a semi-new Dodge.
After a Lhasa Qushui Bridge, about an hour for duty Bala Yamaguchi, the world is the snow, at an altitude of 4790 meters south of the gamba la Pass overlooks Yamdrok Lake as a sapphire set in among the peaks, blue lake smooth as a mirror, the lake went so far as compared with the ground level, along the side of the grass, actually will be able to come to the lake, and the grass, scattered cattle and sheep is like a stroll, lake side, mountains and rivers wriggle was short, static was lying, lakes and mountains exist side by side, time seems frozen in at this moment.
Right or wrong, in the Tibetan language is the "lake" means. Yamdrok Lake of the three holy lakes in Tibet, one of the other two holy lakes in northern Tibet, respectively, Namco and Ali Manasarovar region.
If we say that the holy lake is a soft sentimental woman, Kamiyama is on her care has added Yingwu man. According to legend, Yamdrok Lake and her north gamba la mountain is a husband and wife. Manasarovar is also part of her gang-jen Pochin peak, Manasarovar is said to be the Western Paradise Queen Mother of the Jade Pool, where the peak is Gangdese Gang Ren Pochin mountain peak, elevation 6638 meters, the walls of the distribution is extremely sharp peak symmetry, the shape of a round crown pyramid, peak snow, Wei Rin Wanfeng on top of a very visual and spiritual power to shock. So far, no one is still a virgin peak to conquer.
Nam Co and the elevation of 7117 meters across the Nyainqentanglha affectionate. In Tibet, the ancient mythology, Nyainqentanglha Hill and Namco is not only the most compelling Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet, but also dependent lover of life and death, and his wife, Nyainqentanglha Iriki lake due to set off and even more handsome tall and straight, Nam Co Lake because of the increasingly Nyainqentanglha Hill, reflected upside-lai moving.
Red River Valley Tashilhunpo
Roads are not good, after more than 200 kilometers of the trek, at 2 pm and more, we reached Gyantse. Mountains encircling the town of Gyantse, elevation 4040 meters, in 1904, where there had been a Tibetan people, the war against the British invasion, the fighting lasted for eight months, the last of all warriors Ningsibuqu Tiaoya martyr, wrote a brilliant and moving and tragic chapter. Gyangze County Center now top of the hill, stands the castle, which is the world-famous mountain of complaints about anti-British sites "were mountain fort." It has a loud alias, called "Hero City." The movie "Red River Valley," describes this period of history, filming in And it was in Gyantse, one saw the distant snow-capped mountains, I thought of the quiet beauty of the snow avalanche when the heroic scenes.
Gyangze landmark baiqoi monastery, the "hundreds of thousands of pagodas," the reputation, which is characterized by a temple capacity three factions, is compatible with Sakya, Karma when, Grew three sects, each sect are all inside the mosque with six , seven halls. In the baiqoi monastery next to, there is a world-renowned home and abroad, the white pagoda, the Tibetan name of Tony Gordon test song is followed by a nearly overlap between the Buddhist temple built the tower, called "tower has tower." Tower temple, shrines and Buddhist murals on a total of hundreds of thousands, hence the name of thousands of pagodas.
4 points, to Shigatse, Tibet, Shigatse is the second largest city, altitude 3850 meters, because the upper Brahmaputra is located, so is also known as post-possession. The most famous attractions is time Tashilhunpo.

The snow in the next Everest
8:00 am on the 20th, we set off, Guangdong women due to altitude sickness, intended to stop waiting for us in Shigatse, but we added a new member, Liu Columbia. Liu Costa Rica is a Sichuan tour guide, led to Shigatse, according to He said he twice went to Everest, but because of no through road and finally failed to go into, this is the third mission of the ride get rid of the guests.
As Liu Costa said, the road to Everest turned bad on the road always walk through the hills, but fortunately we did not turn back halfway. Go travel, I always think that most of the time during the day always sat a variety of transport modes, this day after the car sat for a day. Near Mount Everest is evening, and the world since the snow, we are finally to the Everest base camp, elevation 5200 meters because of snow, really long and almost invisible capacity. A simple supper of instant noodles with hot bubble will, and low-nutrition, high consumption, I think we are all warriors. A dozen large tents, altitude sickness, serious, and breathing difficulties, but also a Sleepless, a splitting headache. Snow down to the middle of the night, but added stopped out tent, a silver in the world, not black, nor cold, take advantage of spirits, climb a small peak nearby, looked nothing but tens of meters, although panting, but imagine himself in the world reached its zenith in the height of 8848.13 I saw, my heart is beat violently.
With regard to the Himalayas there is a legend: According to legend, early in the morning a long time ago, here is a boundless sea, one day, the sea suddenly came a great five Duron, tea carbon beings, just as birds and the animals were blind alley of the When, suddenly, the sea over the rains of the five Choi Wan, Hui Kong into a five-line home, they display their boundless supernatural power, faced down five Duron.

She returned to Lhasa
21, 8:00 am, hastily wash a bit, do not eat breakfast, we left the Mount Everest, visited here for the self-excited, sorry for the hasty departure. 9:00 to eat breakfast in the Tibetan settlements in Tibet, as if km shorter, and often heard "before drawing near, more than 100 kilometers," is if more than 100 kilometers is just a piece of cake, Tibetans in quite hard living has resulted in a sale and purchase of the money will be happy, in fact, tours may also be pretty near the Tibetan people is relatively rich into the bargain. Yes Wan Su Lazi. 22, 8:00 pm, we returned to Lhasa, feeling returned to the bustling city.
