1. Starting "Are you a man?"
"Ah, a man."
To mention the 80 liters of my big backpack, I squeezed in a while you are pushing to find my shop, the familiar sleeper cars, the familiar smell of carriage, the familiar feelings of a long journey back pack alone.
Greeted with my uncle is a Kazakh, in my shop opposite the end of the car is Urumqi, presumably the car should have a lot of Uygur and Kazakh ethnic brothers bar.
Urumqi, that the flyovers in the city center can be overlooking the snow-capped Bogda Peak of the Western Regions metropolis, that in southern Xinjiang and the northern access to the transit point, had been to the place, they have gone back in a dream place, but this time she was not my destination, I'm going to the Lanzhou, nine of the Yellow River water has been dyed a golden city.
As the train wheels hit the tracks of the Kacha Kacha sound, I knew I was to the west, to the west, then west. Ah Northwest more than two years, and I am back up to you ... ...
二. Lanzhou Jincheng come, come, I am finally to the flavor of this beef noodles floating around the city. This is the Lanzhou? I was in the northwest it? Jincheng was busy looking at the streets, there is a little bit confused. West Lake side of the station to find a hostel stay there, bought the ticket the next day to Xiahe, Enron sleep.
The next day we got up early in the morning before 6:01, and looked for a shop to be a bowl of beef noodles authentic. Comparing down, feel that either the appearance or taste are all the same, Shanghai's "Lanzhou Ramen" different. Lanzhou beef noodles of the liquor color is clear, and beef is cut into small, whereas in the compound would also like to put a little addition to beef, radish, while Shanghai's "Lanzhou Ramen" liquor color is poor, beef is sliced, but there is no radishes trace.
The green belt along the Yellow River walks, from time to time you can see some shadow boxing, old man. The foot is the mother river of the Chinese nation, five thousand years ago, she has always used his milk feeding our nation, but today she was growing old, and turbidity of the Yellow River and the scarce water to the eastward with a lot of garbage to go heard of the dry season has lasted for more than a year stop for two years, and sadness do? A heavy heart? Good of the Chinese nation should be kind to his mother ah.
Of the Yellow River in the Tibetan language was called "Maqu", meaning Kongquehe, because the source of the Yellow River in the highlands are densely covered in the sunshine like a peacock in Kaiping, but at this moment looking at her, looked at the other side of those bare hills, I just want to cry!
三. Xiahe - Labrang Monastery in Xiahe did not expect that from Lanzhou, the train bound to encounter on the Mix and color so many friends, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shandong, and staff a big backpack to the already somewhat crowded CMB car packed crowded.
Illustrious company, however, is always good to run into, because they, in the later days of travel, I do not experience loneliness.
Always feel that they fit lone, I really like the lonely? I do not know.
Driving through Linxia Hui were small round white cap full of the whole street, a very rich people yearn for Islamic customs. However, because of the time limit I can not stay here only to those who constantly Han "in Iraq to" join hands with eyes ceremony of the mosque.
Guo tumenguan Soon after, we saw a long absence, White Tower, she seemed to tell me, Gannan is up to the Amdo, Tibet to the Buddha favor with the Gannan yo! Bovine fat horse and strong Amdo yo! Into Tibetan, Vision will gradually open up and replace the yellow and blue mountain slopes, Baita the frequency gradually increased, and many Tibetans in the walk along the road, I can not help but think of more than a year ago in Kang days.
Bus Station and get off at the Xiahe county is willing to accompany the tube backpack spontaneously together in the course, I also become one of them, our team a total of nine individuals, other than myself, they are Chongqing, Xiao-hua, kariko quasi-wife, also a big beauty Xiaoyan from Chongqing, Jinan, a senior member of the Wuji Triple child (who was carrying the three body plus three lenses, including a large barrel of a gun), Guangzhou donkey bird (including the most Light and without cameras, Mix the highest state!), and I am equally from Shanghai Anping, and Taiwan compatriots, and the Old Wu Lao Gao.
Rab-leng Temple, Tibet to the largest Tibetan Buddhist temples, is also a famous Tibetan Buddhist institutions of higher learning, and she is located in Xiahe County, west of the city into a feng shui treasure. On the building scale, she was second only to the Guardian in the Tibetan Potala Palace in Lhasa Tibet, cited on the ring edge, as the Gelug Sect, one of six Temple, her natural self-evident.
Pilgrimage route Siwai the turning cylinder, we have a pedestrian were removed from the middle of the Tibetans, devout and very mechanically turning the prayer wheels and there are many Tibetans from behind than us, they are always showing white teeth in our Looking Back smile. Butter flavor, yes, the Tibetans who ah that kind of seductive butter taste, smell to it when I think of that section after section of the graduation trip unforgettable experience and I embrace Kangba Han dynasty when the days are not even that kind of butter flavor retire, I accept it, and I am happy.
Watched the sun gradually sets and we are giving up the idea of turn Temple lap, directly into the Temple area. Labrang Monastery and the mainland's largest temples difference is that it is not closed, the whole temple architecture is very scattered distribution but very decent into the valley. Here, Zhacang and Lacan collusion mostly Tibetan architecture, Sengfang is a typical Tibetan architecture, we visited a Buddhist temple by the Tower Hall, a pity that attention to Tibetan Buddhism for some time my face sirrab Lenz Shique seem so pale, and all descriptions are misty nothingness, and people in front of deities seem so small, I know that my incompetence, I know I can not even hit a badly beaten really to understand Tibetan Buddhism, I can do is appreciate and blessings can only be paid their respects and admiration, Om Mani Padme Hum! My love!
Night we stay at Xiahe County of armed guest houses, why not live the Dolma famous hotels, is because the had heard that Dolma hostels internal pin's indifference. To celebrate the coming Gannan and can get to know each other, we have several people in a restaurant point of the extra dishes drank less wine, and then, in the light rain in the walk, each recounting his own experience, backpackers is the story of the largest group of people , because they come up far too many places have experienced far too many things to each other backpackers there is a magnetic force, and less than a day's work as if we had a group of brothers.
Snow, and security and more snow, the snow plateau.
Looking at the dim lights shining crystal clear snow, I think how I would have kind of tomorrow. . .
四. Langmusi way to work one night, the town would have been dyed white. Heavy snow last night and heard throughout the Gannan, from cooperation to Langmusi this section of track is notoriously difficult to walk, Zhexia Ke is the worse of.
China and Pakistan from the Xiahe County, Gannan prefecture co-operation was bound to spend more than an hour, half board half Tibetan travelers, there is a very genial old monk sitting behind me, a pity that the language barrier, and we can only exchanged with the eye. Co-operation outside the city there is a Kagyupa temples - Milarepa large temples, I have always been on oral transmission of Buddhist scriptures known Kagyupa a great yearning, but is due to time constraints, I could not worship the Golden Pavilion, I can not be separated Team ah. Speaking of Kagyupa, I always can not help but think of leaving the monastery to India's Karma Kagyu faction head of the Karmapa Living Buddha great, and his walk for the Karma Kagyu, Tibetan Buddhism in the end for the pros and cons Fu, I do not know, I do not think I qualify to comment on this.
Karmapa 1000 Novo! Take a good!
In the co-transfer, followed by a 100 km road took us past more than 10 hours. This is a full of snow, snow, gravel, mud and hope the road, both sides of a typical pastoral landscapes, the snow accumulation yellowed grasslands and grasslands full of yaks group of my field of vision, this road landscape for me, still not as good as the Sichuan-Tibet Southern line (in fact, I have not has completed the Sichuan-Tibet Southern line, provides only a section of them), but after Gahai my eyes still light up, the pure highland lake me feel relaxed and happy.
Several times we are in cars, each trap car that we boys always go dry point manual labor, in the highlands of carts may from time to fun, hair is enough to force a few of me breathless. We have also blocked a car, stuck a long time, I rode that time boarded the side of the road an unnamed hill, while shivering with the side with several Tibetans are literate in Chinese chat, good uncomfortable!
We are fortunate to have witnessed the car in a Tibetan style of courtship, a Tibetan young man sitting in the back in two or three companions sat in the front surrounded by pairs of a Tibetan MM did not know to sing a few consecutive hours of love songs! The end result is that the lovely face Blusher Tibetan MM will be left to their own home address that Tibetan handsome guy. Later I told this thing a few female colleagues, and their unanimous response was that the Tibetan MM feel very happy, but over here in Shanghai, then there will be a few Chinese in this way the pursuit of women? Lovely Tibetan! Romantic Tibetans! The most sheltered of the Tibetan people, ah, god!
After a day of bumps, more than nine at night, our car finally moved into the town Langmusi.
五. Langmusi in the Gansu-Sichuan border, the town Langmusi full name is "De Cang Lang Wood All", meaning "ventured the fairy," she had belonged to Sichuan and Gansu, two composed of the Gelug Sect monasteries, Sichuan is called in beagle at the end of Temple, Gansu Province is called color only temple. Bailongjiang clear with her trickle to a small town divided into two parts, at the same time Bailong is the border river in Sichuan and Gansu provinces.
Langmusi donkey in the domestic sector are very well known on the popularity and allure even with such a ratio Daocheng Lhasa Lijiang from top to bottom, but the first found here and here to enjoy life is indeed a foreigner who. Langmusi remained a simple and friendly appearance, but still can not impact the outside world to avoid affecting thousands of years of life, from the Secretary Lang wooden guesthouse owner of the eyes of the Tibetans will be able to feel it all.
Big Lanjue morning sleep, get up and find that most people have to go out only after the play, and only two are still dressing in Chongqing MM, kariko have to wait for the morning shoot out scenes, Xiao-hua, so I have two people to worship and Xiaoyan the temple and the famous Langmusi Tianzang Tai.
Tian Zangtai way to go is the one who stepped out of the gravel, much of the Tian Zangtai can be seen on the streamer approached, and they find that they have entered another world.
Bones of the dead, dresses the wreckage, faint smell of blood. . . Xiaoyan a bit scared, and dared not close to the pile of Qilingbala, obviously, the implementation of burial rituals of the place, I gently moved in the past, every step forward is careful observation that they may be trapped under human bones, the Zhi Jiao Xiao-yan behind "Do not tread bone", curiosity and fear strange combination of heart, let me here, unable to extricate themselves. I saw a skeleton of several ribs attached, on the one meter where my side, so close contact with the remains of human beings is the first time I've ever, did not dare to close, for fear of disturbing the repose of the soul, I am finally back out.
Afternoon and donkeys with their re-assembly, we basically regard the town turn times, and then decided to go take a look at what the canyon that Bailong, but the unexpected happenings like, I do not know which of inspiration, most of us Finally to climb the 4000 meters above sea level near the peak of the canopy.
Peak in the canopy can be blanketed by Su-wrapped overlooking the panoramic view of Langmusi the back is Bailong, Bailong the other side is more tall snow-capped mountains. Peak from the canopy down rain when we suffered the attack, but also nearly lost her way, my clothes and shoes were completely wet, the body has also undergone some tests. Big Bird, and Xiao-yan is the best strength has always been the first assault at noon unwell Xiaohua dose of American ginseng after my little right, I myself have been a bit of altitude sickness in the latter half, quickly dose of American ginseng tablet Not long afterwards, they jump all over, and this stuff really useful! Most of Shandong Han Ai Pi Triple children, even half-way back to town, leaving the team ahead of rest, came to be and we need to laugh about that.
Evening we enjoy a sumptuous dinner together, talking about travel, ideals, and life ... ... I think I own is destined to go on a line of people who need to travel long for me, not a recreational pastime, but a Learning and improving processes and living conditions, but in the face of profound cultural foundation and the heavy accumulation of a time when culture always feel that I was too easy too thin. Clamored for the trip to King should be supplemented by the text-based, but still not a Suzi, because I visited a seat in the Gannan Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, or aspire to the following when the steppes and the North Sichuan Jiuzhaigou, yearning for beautiful scenery have been wrong However, they deliberately avoided in order to highlight how their own "culture" that is, something was wrong. Relying on my knowledge and accumulated from a genuine cultural travelers still passing, but I do not prefer to go on like this, so I fell into a vicious circle, for their own travel values, self-confidence and low self-esteem, positive and negative, ideal and reality is always a gap, but I am fit, I can not always be to narrow this gap, because I am in the final analysis was a vulgarian!
六. Kawakita Prairie After dinner back to his room and then several of our people right away the next day a lively discussion of law, as coincides with the 11 golden weeks, Langmusi overcrowding (mainly came from Sichuan, but they heard to the co-operation Basically, the way to go have a retracement Chengdu bad intention), so to continue our journey by train have been very reluctant, and think the next to Sichuan either stopped crossing the car, or chartered. Triple children and I have had to go look at the Yellow River First Beach estanque intention, but that situation has also given up, ready to work with large team of people together under the Chuanzhusi to Jiuzhaigou, the last to be safe, we made the same gang Shanghai of a club who together pack a backpack to take to the CMB Chuanzhusi decision.
From Langmusi to Chuanzhusi road, near Songpan Grasslands quite similar to the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is so! Shell stone path winding snow-capped mountains in the Zuozuo's arms, the snow-capped mountains stretching to the horizon, roll with me, structured imposing majestic people shed tears. Compartment issued a humming constantly, so magnificent is the first time I saw snow, the sky is white snow is white is white, the road suddenly passing through a mountain pass, I seem to pass in from the outside a glimpse of a vast myriad of plains, but I think that is an illusion, not long before cars turn the 180 degrees, the eyes there really plain! Alas, just now it is not illusion! The following is the vast expanse of prairie covered with snow! Songpan grasslands traversed by the Red Army, is Ruleiguaner's Kawakita prairie! I went so far as a few hundred meters away from the high ground overlooking the extended prairie toward the horizon, I have moved almost shed tears!
Arrived in the evening, Chuanzhusi my heart to imagine the beauty of Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve, this night I was fast asleep.
7. Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong on the beauty of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong, with regard to those Haizi, betting pools and the snow Xuebaoding, I do not want to do something more description, because of their beauty is a universally acknowledged the United States, on their already full of praise in a variety of travel magazines, newspapers, websites and television programs in the.
Jiuzhaigou, we played a total of two days, in the Walled tree is a private hotel for the night. The first day arrived when the gloomy days, the next day completely clear up, and people thoroughly enjoy the charm of the Jiuzhaigou, especially in the morning several of our people in the tree is on the slopes of the sea base a daze a small half-day sun slapstick. Unfortunately, no longer leave at noon the next day and the bird Anping hastily leaving the team rush to Chengdu, and Taiwan's two friends are also due to physical reasons for early withdrawal of the outer. PM me and Triple children walking along the tree is out groove, two more than the big guys meter eighty two and a half of people carrying a large backpack how high attracted a lot of people's attention. Chongqing trio sit out of the ditch green car, when we went to bar such as the ditch near a telephone call from us Xiaoyan "kidnapping" back to Mizoguchi. Looked at nine of the brigade only five people can not help but burst of sorrow, nor by a sigh, vacation has come to an end.
Yes, the summer holidays were nearly over, the day goes on, Triple children has long been a hurried rush of Chengdu, Chongqing trio in the swim with me after Huang Huang airport through the new back nine Chongqing, one night I was alone carrying a large bag next to the Chuanzhusi not far from the Songpan county, is also a person, but the feeling of loneliness a little different there.
8. Li County, peach Ping south along the Minjiang River canyon and soon entered the Maoxian, towers marked the emergence of the Qiang people, I have entered the land. Inquire about a moment miyaluo of the leaves is not yet time, but still want to try his luck, then transfer to the arguments in Wenchuan county, where you can expect from the miyaluo. In fact, Li County, in the vicinity have been counted into the miyaluo scenic, and it was clear that I came earlier, in addition to sparse hillside some "little red", the imaginary landscape, and does not appear, presumably even if we really get to the town is also miyaluo will not have any good scenes, so logical hastily visited a county from the county close to stands tall towers on the hillside after the Zagunao River accompanied by clear water, I backtrack to the Li County and between the Taoping Wenchuan.
Tao Ping is a typical Qiang Zhai, two towers shining in the sun seemed exceptionally tall and straight, under Wei-I do not know that they have long guarded this village. In this era, has been praised up and backpackers who are often a good place to fall soon in the never-ending "protection" and "development" into, and then, a number of groups holding flags to speed up the duck and the band behind him a hat or a badge of the ducks will be there, they will gradually try to "reform" something, and then, a number of groups claiming to be a "donkey" angry young men in the FB of the General Assembly, in the Internet or in other media on there vocal opposition, however, does not know precisely where donkeys are the first to promote the fire pit. . . Taoping also appears to be the number that ultimately can not escape, obviously, although the former way of life or the continuation of well, but I have been able to clearly smell a funny smell like Zhouzhuang Unit, with a.
But I am very lucky, because surprisingly few visitors that day, and I understand that preparations for the visitors to spend the night in Taoping I was the only one. Stroll in the labyrinth of the stockade where more than an hour, in a block building to jump up and down and allow myself to get lost (which in itself is where the fun Qiang Zhai) and finally I chose the large towers on the highest floor sat a daze, watching behind the stockade of those nameless peaks, quietly waiting for the sun sets. . .
Yang teacher's house in the village overnight, 13 yuan of the seven dishes, soup, I eat a very enjoyable evening, and Yang family teachers talk of everything, the Qiang people have a strong sense of national pride, but the sad thing is, Qiang language has been soon lost, and all of China's Qiang Qiang in the protection zone is only some text (euphemistically: research), but has almost no one in the teaching of the text of the Qiang. From this we go there in Kang's Inagi, Tibetan guide told us with a heavy tone of a professor in Tibetan Daocheng County, to prohibit the county, his face expression, as well as the presence of all the Tibetans and the Han people's face, it is a way to sadness, anger, pity, compassion, fear, together, the expression of fusion, but suffocating.
The next morning, bathed in sunlight the plateau, I left Taoping, but keep in mind quietly remembered another name, set thousands of pet in a city southwest of first - Chengdu.
九. Chengdu, Chengdu, way back I Zengjinglaiguo time, I was so in love with this city, and she let me mesmerizing.
Leisure and comfort is the best description of this city, all over the streets of the teahouse, and everywhere you can hear the sound of mahjong people know what is life. Although I do not mahjong playing, is not keen on tea, but I was so thick Ichii lingering taste of this unit.
Chengdu snacks for those months, what Han Zhong dumplings steamed buns Long抄手Lai gnocchi Dan dan noodles, plus exciting authentic spicy Sichuan, Chengdu, even if you do not like can not guarantee that your mouth do not like her.
There are Wuhou Temple, which enshrines me one of the most admired historical figures. Chengdu is the prime minister's second home, presumably as far away as the foot of Mount Dingjun Hanzhong People here are so old that his memory should also pleased with the bar.
There are stations and chadianzi South Gate station, which is two to ignite passion backpacker place, look at those long-distance bus terminus, Kang's Kangding, Litang, Inagi, Daofu; security number of Aba, red the original, Malcolm ... ... people wait for them to immediately go back package.
I have lived here for the full three days, just three days let me be completely relaxed, I can live very happy. And then in the evening, I boarded a plane to fly to Shanghai, waiting for me that I must face the reality, I come back.
Departure of a person, a person return, I will always cherish the memory of this trip, that superior labrang, picturesque Langmusi, blinking Jiuzhaigou, ancient quiet Taoping, there is alienation between the ideal and reality Chengdu, of course, sub-band of the friends. Their memories will be my life's wealth.
To ask me why I so love to travel? Because I think that travel is a kind of self-accumulation process, in travel, in the same time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, I also learned to appreciate every way of life.
Because there is love, because I am so in love with my country!
