Profile:
Tibet's rich and beautiful natural landscapes, both the rich vegetation, Nyingchi, there are icy-mountain plateau, and more bad weather Shuanghu no man's land, the road dangerous Ali. The spring and summer should fall tour. I humbly believe, different season, different hours, each have their own beauty. At the beginning of the plateau, normally there will be altitude sickness, which is a natural physiological reaction, so be careful not to over-excited, skip along. Different depending on individual physical, reaction intensity and time will be different, but generally had two or three days will be to adapt.
Route:
The trip due to time constraints, not travels in Tibet, but a tour of Linzhi, Namtso, Yamzhog Yumco Lake, Gyantse, Everest Base Camp and Lhasa. Doubly great rivers and mountains of the motherland with emotion, magnificent incomparable! For more information, and read below.
Travel (2003 October 2 to October 12):
The first day (October 2): Guangzhou non-stop in Lhasa. I remember the plane must choose the right window seat, overlooking the opportunity to Meili Snow Mountain, Gongga Shan, Yulong Snow Mountain Oh!
Gonggar Airport in Lhasa strong winds, but the days are blue, the sun was shining, the air cold pure, I could not help a deep breath, as if No adverse reactions, but still be careful to walk. We were playing a line of three taxi to Lhasa (half-way car trip may change, because the taxi can not enter the Lhasa urban area), a total cost of 90. The road from the airport to Lhasa, I have been attracted by the beauty of the window, murmuring flowing unnamed creek, river and central sandy cay on the rows of yellow and green and white trees, shining in the sun under the spangle. I will dedicate themselves to this beautiful scenery among the forgotten earthly anxieties.
To have to Lhasa urban area, found, an excuse our goal lodging places - auspicious hotels, a total of four-story, "I"-shaped buildings, several corridors makes sense to return the student dormitories; most hi and that the corridor on the clothesline All the clothes were disinfected by the sunlight, I am afraid that SARS will also be difficult to take root in this. Indoor furniture with a Tibetan style, public toilets, shower rooms, fees are not expensive, a few dozen dollars a day Gao Ding. Know that auspicious day, but also through friends and inquiries that, after a few days time, I went to school, and compared the eight Long Asia hotels, but also an auspicious day is my favorite, and a free laundry service, of course, purely personal point of view .
The first time in auspicious day, living on the third floor, this time beginning to experience the power of high altitude hypoxia; carrying a backpack to climb three floors before I actually panting slightly, began to regret How can we help to find more housing between the lower floors. Lunch is auspicious Tibetan restaurants and guesthouses nearby settlement, in order to Qu-han, I could not even drink San Taiwan butter tea, it seems that the taste not bad. Afternoon, an afternoon nap could not help but sleep at this time do not seem to be too strong of altitude sickness. After the afternoon nap is 17 o'clock, I love the clean washed a bath, feeling the water hot so cool. Later, nothing better, We Three, on the streets of twisted my Lhasa, the Potala Palace at dusk to see the scenery. Fabric Palace, although not in the towering I imagined, but it already magnificent.
At night, altitude sickness appears to have sought out my head began to hurt a little, has always been strong appetite to eat my dinner, just barely a bit. Think maybe it should not be after so many drink buttered tea, sleeping too and bathing, because everything could be altitude sickness incentives. Fortunately, apart from the two wake up at night to sleep outside, generally sleep pretty good.
The following day (October 3): Lhasa.
Heard to the Jokhang Temple, if they can play early in the morning, wearing a dress to the Tibetan side through the skin is not enough black ash (^_^), 7:30 wipe spots there may be mixed with the ranks of the Tibetan people, the provincial tickets for the next seventy to eighty dollars. Unfortunately, in this life, sex up late, go there has been nearly 10 o'clock, had to reluctantly pocket, and the saying goes: There are gains and there must be a loss Well.
To the Jokhang Temple, can only experience what is called piety. Numerous Tibetans, some turn their prayer wheels, some body in the Temple and five voted to knock a long head, again and again. Fortunately, people in the hands of kowtowing, laptop all protective measures. But I also heard that there was doubly pious who relies entirely on the physical contact with the earth, all the way of the long head knock, the bloody, and it is only a minor issue. Harsh natural environment, making people here have a special fascination with religion and beliefs. Jokhang Temple golden dome of the sky blue shining brilliance and glory, admiration arises spontaneously. Jokhang Temple, the light, dark, numerous Tibetans and tourists row of the queue, step by a Norwegian, the thin air of butter mixed with a strong flavor, smoke, the Buddha had sat side, however, worth of its own dignified deportment, beyond the control of the people they did not receive "worship." 1000 Pan 10000 hope, and finally pay homage to the Buddha's life-sized, like 12-year-old, France, as solemn, magnificent. In the Jokhang Temple on the second floor roof, overlooking the go, peak and visitors crowd, that is spectacular. Presented here, sesame oil money many temples and the Mainland is different from a dollar and a hundred yuan of such values are, and no one will give you face to see, the key to heart devout or not. Many people do not small change, and even put a ten-dollar and then his back nine yuan, and we saw all that be called a singularity. Looking upward to the third floor of the roof looked, I saw two lovely simplicity of Tibetan girl leaning against the railings. Under the sun, they were so brilliant smile, they were like two beautiful Gesang Hua, I hasten to press the camera shutter to stay in this wonderful moment. (Note: Gesang Hua, in the Tibetan language where the meaning is the sunflower.)
Come out from the Jokhang Temple, along the Barkhor walk towards the direction of cloth Palace, pedestrian gradually rare, the sidewalk is also a broad, warm sun shone on him, was very comfortable, tired, they break on the bench in the street moment. Occasionally, one or two little beggar came up, but I have already prepared a stack of two pulled out 12 cents to them in the small beggars were also overjoyed to Tuikai. There is a small beggar stretched out hands, pulling playmate of the sleeves, the Friends of the Partial Health favorite clean, soon as he was drinking, small beggars rushed doing nothing, got the message and go away. So we kinda laugh here begging of civilization, unlike the mainland persists in arguing endlessly like a beggar. In this way Yueshuoxiaoxiao, stop-go, we came to the edge of cloth Palace, leaned against the railing Tanbian photographed this one a few tour photos.
Lunch in the fabric edge of a palace used by restaurants, but also expensive not tasty, whose name also forgot. Eaten lunch, we will advance toward the Sera Monastery, to rush to see where the debate by 15 o'clock every day. Goodfellas, Sera tickets are very expensive, is obviously designed slaughter foreign visitors, because the Tibetans do not go in the money. Heard later that some people try to free riders, but was found on a hillside too, has been thrust down obediently buy a ticket back up the hill. Poor people, to know under the mountain altitude sickness may be more effort than usual to pay呀. Into the main hall to the Sera Monastery, two in the afternoon, just lamas chanting time. (Note: In fact, "Lama" is to attain the monks in Tibet as a glorified, the general practitioner, they can be called a monk or monks. To meet the mainland people's habits, below, or use the term "lama" title.) Hall lighting faint, 100 to a monk who has been gray in the beard of the leading monks of supervision under the chorus. What to study, An Men do not understand, but the cadence, rhythm delivered, the idea is especially sweet. We look at them, and they look at us, I do not know who to see who, but one thing is certain, they are deserted in nature. I was deeply attracted to the atmosphere chanting hall, finding a place to sit next to a few foreigners, too, sitting mat. Companions are already impatient to go outside and the sun, and just waiting by the beginning of debate.
Three in the afternoon, in a small woods, Chinese and foreign tourists accounted for early in a good location, many people put up a tripod, adjusting the lens waiting for a good debate on the admission by the monks. Lama finally appeared, in twos and threes, came together as Entering. Lama more increasing in recent years, dozens of feet, and some apparently just finished chanting the. I put the camera turned three of them sitting on the ground of the monks, actually there is an hitches a ride Paoxiu block his face. Later, I met three foot of the wall under the sun Tibetan grandmother, quite atmosphere, people wishing to give them photographs has also been rejected. I think they are to retain the traditional Tibetan concept that "the soul of photo camera will take the" bar, only respect their choice, but I deeply regret to miss the beauty. Closer to home, admission from the monks, after 15 minutes, after debate began. In fact, debate is everyone out by the test questions asked, generally 221 group, a lama sat on the floor while dancing the other monks began to ask questions, like the hands and feet and mouth are not idle, dusty, was a magnificent sight. This is one of Tibet's unique culture.
Auspicious day in the evening back to hotel, take a bath brings me to wash the bad, and altitude sickness struck again, I started some a headache, chills, nausea pan, hastens stayed to sleep, I really doubt themselves that Tibet is not a self-inflicted Zuishou. 21:00, thanks to the playmate who call for me, a delicious corn ambiguous, be comforted my little stomach, but also so that I am deeply moved by their friendship. Strangely enough, drink corn ambiguous, my whole person again in Long fine tiger. So it's the plateau reaction to much haste and go in a hurry.
Scheduled third day of the tour cloth Palace, on the fourth day to the next left Lhasa attractions, but because of playmate who handled the border on the Everest permit need more delayed one day, so we decided to adjust the itinerary, make good use of this extra day of . After reading the information, to discuss further discussion to identify the best solution is to increase travel Nyingchi, while the cloth is the temporary palace in Tibet to leave the tour the day before the Fang Cai. The remaining question is how to find cars, and now it is almost 22:00. We contacted a friend of the driver, the van needed two days to go back and forth Nyingchi 2700 yuan, alas, the three men seemed extravagant a few! As a result, playmate flashlight to see the name on the auspicious day hotel bulletin board post, find more partners. We are indeed extremely fortunate that, following cell phone number contact, not only found five playmate (divided into two sets of people), and they have been linked to a more expensive van, two days as long as 2,400 yuan (300 yuan per capita). In this way, we have three representatives who arrived at 8 dial Lang Xue Hotel the same night with the driver hit his head, signed the contract. 12:00 more than walking the streets in Lhasa, cool air, along with the new vision of the road, in my heart pleasure!
