Lhasa - Bayi Town
Good start to the day.
Morning 6:30, Lhasa City, still immersed in the gentle sleep, I had to rush to get up. Due to the coachman, last night, good cell phone alarm tone.
Half an hour later, I took my two BIGPACK backpack, a front and rear, leaving "SARS" take me during the Dragon Tha Kyaw Sa hotels, catch the 8:30 shuttle. A friend told me in advance, Lhasa train passenger terminal will not be on time, now they are tourists scarce, my long period of riding on a Tuk taxi with the words do not shake hands in Lhasa.
Overwhelming negative effects of SARS, such as chronic illness, as deeply rooted in each people's heads, people nervous tension, from the Xinjiang Alashankou to Lianyungang Huaguoshan, from the Russian side of the Heihe River into the mirror of the ends of the earth in Hainan, and even it is difficult on the blue sky of Mount Everest.
Lhasa bus passengers much, nor deserted.
Always thought in China, the larger number of the bus stop or railway station, crowded places on a number of ticket brokers "cattle" (originally wanted to call it "flies", in view of attack and to accept the labor of the points are equal no education, I carefully turn over), to see passengers carrying luggage on the hot pursuit. Look, Zhe Xiang had to scrape together a solicitation over: car 80 yuan a person to 81. I am calm Eurya the Eurya weight, Lek lost some water, to 60 per transaction. They took what he had been looking good of other people's votes, followed by infiltrated the station.
Incessant waiting and interchange, 13:00 car finally set off from Lhasa along the way still have to keep the body temperature, forehead, eyes, ears, over and over again the amount; age, origin, subject matter, over and over again to fill. Now recall, is indeed a special day, special experience.
Gongbo'gyamda car in areas that are not broken down, the driver can do nothing during Jiyu transfer the passengers leave the vehicle, was the other driver back back, I was glad my adaptable, save a few luggage in the plateau of "oxygen movement" .
Half-past six at night, to the Bayi Town.
Xiamen Plaza got off to 10 meters back line is the source of a prior study of good Comfort Hotel, 20 yuan a night moved into the empty three human, the hotel off-season business to take advantage of SARS in the decoration, no hot water bath.
Xianbu in urban areas, tricycles, taxis, streets, Tibet, Sichuan, back to full meals, specialized shops dazzling, Hong Kong Road, Canton Road, Shenzhen Road, Fuzhou Road, staggered extension. The western suburbs, Niyang such as a ribbon floating in the picturesque wilderness, water crystal of exceptionally quiet, green wave bottomed out, first thing that strikes strayed into the depths of Taoyuan.
Fawn giant cypress village 6 km away from the town of 81, 25 yuan Return Santana fare, 10 yuan tickets. Quiet trails, wildflowers, mountain grass fragrance. Cypress Wang artificial barrier ring, the trees more than 2600 years, surrounded by a dozen people, the trunk-line roller, pride bottomless. Looking at the distance, the green wheat fields, golden fields of rape fault trace, distant mountains and indigo, as the southern exposure.
Every day, in the western suburbs of Niyang quietly flowing, snow-capped mountains surrounded by calm repose, 81 people bathed in the hazy dawn of tim Mi wake up.
81 town I live in two nights, enjoying the Sichuan-Tibet line before the last leg of the easy life.
