The lives of young unruly hidden in my heart impulses and passions. Xinjiang, Tibet, that distant beautiful place, and carries the number of life desire and happiness. Pure pure sky, floating clouds, complicating the city to live in between the day and earth disappear, only the most primitive of human emotions, this is the meaning of our existence. Only experienced, can your heart to understand. Heart Road, capricious, and surely not everyone can accept and understand, can give you happiness, but most is annoyance, because impermanence is not being accepted by ordinary people.
Nearly pass away, there have been many dreams, all dreams are all around a subject: to be a happy person. Child, teacher, parent education, we have to do a good boy. Parents, brothers and sisters of the standard is our example. Later, do a good father, good husband. The needs of family friends became the main purpose of our lives and standards. We also assume a variety of roles: a good staff, good staff, good superiors, subordinates ... I feel a good word: tired. Turns out that we live in a society has long been the standard cure, the ways in accordance with the original meaning of life through the extraordinary life do not consider it? Has always been an unavoidable topic that bothers me.
For the development of personal preference, we should consider following you for many years the feelings of subordinates and colleagues; you want to leave home a long journey, to miss home vicissitudes of the parents; they're going against the laws of the community and acted cure, we must take into account the views of friends and family. Does this mean that the nature of life is sacrificed? When will we live for themselves a return to ah!
Remember to write a book: From tomorrow, be a happy people, horses, firewood, has traveled the world, from tomorrow onwards, concern with food and vegetables, I have a house, facing the sea, warmth of spring ... ... This is most people's dream!
Realize their dreams of each individual's needs, then we are still waiting for? Waiting for business success, we re-start? Earn enough money to wait before they redeem free man? You may be successful, but the opportunity does not come every day. Dream seems farther and farther away from me, a loved one to abandon popular people into her dreams, but mediocrity has left me closer. To give up towards the beginning of a new life, but should be willing to do my own thing. One piece Come on, do not want to wait any longer.
Decided to travel from the first day, I set: Even if a person, but also to do this want to do. Said I was crazy, laugh at me crazy, but this is not the experience everyone can enjoy, and I is me, do what I want to do.
Time to return to the beginning of New Year's Day, this year's trips with friends to discuss plans, coincidentally set 51 targets in Qinghai Lake. During the last three months of preparatory work one by one start: membership car rental, write plans, view the way the book, buy insurance, open co-ordination will identify the players. . . . . .
April 27, in order to ensure a smooth day car rental in advance to fly back to Beijing from Hohhot, work the first time a private matter for the road.
April 28, in order to ensure that the afternoon before the work on time car rental, driving has been five years in 2000 to the speed of 180KM Tong in Beijing high-speed flying back to Beijing, 7 pm to mention car is completed, the lanterns. (N number of car rental point of the road show calls, no access!)
April 30, at night for late night, did not go to work, and enjoyed a company-level leadership treatment. Wanted to sleep more, but were parents of repeatedly exhorted, endless reminders bother, they simply refuse to sleep in preparation for carrying goods. Looked at the side of the ACME big package, but also allows you to hit the road, an old friend,呵呵~ ~ ~ cars arrived late a bit, and finally connected to me, and Du Jiakan Fortunately, not far from my house, all the way 120KM go through. . . . . .
Such as toll stations around the Du Jiakan there would be cars, rush to take over the walkie-talkie during the first vehicles sped fly, in addition to exhaust did not leave a superfluous words. I leisurely's got in and shut the door, fasten your seat belts, a reminder about us: we officially set off!
Raised deep breath, Guadang, walking. . . . . . (One without it)
Shijiazhuang, North Shui Agariishi out too fast, not long after the road closure discount on 307 State Road, the road gradually more carts up, do not stop the phenomenon from time to time, thinking it will not be stopped in this bar then left to rot in remote places, the former village Buzhe Buzhuo shop, but fortunately roads, but no sealed, and the slit-like drills in order to survive out smoothly in Yangquan back on high speed. Pointer 5:00 into the continuous opening of the seven hours the night road, keep an eye lids is not live, and for everyone's safety, when I take the initiative to step aside near the Taiyuan Fu Jia changed. Waking Dayun high-speed inter-miss entrance, but also heavy on the retrace.
Shanxi, Yun-gang in a big fix soon, traffic is true, in order to preserve their strength and I did not touch the steering wheel. Fenglingdu way only a brief stop on the Yellow River Bridge. Draft, almost blowing me down. . . . . .
15-point line to the Xi'an service area, Cleaning, food, full of oil after the break at full speed toward the Tianshui.
Guo Baoji into the mountains, high-speed cut-off, Shun take State Road 310.
Mountain greenery, rain and Xi Li, the crowd were unaware of how far can we reach the Tianshui, only lonely silent hurry hurry +. Might is the night slept reasons, the vehicle were not high spirits, very uninteresting.
Consecutive two valleys from the mountains into the plains I Huangdian misconception that everyone reach their destinations, has been fierce criticism of the same, then what will have been opened more than 10 hours of car parking stall, I'd love to go to bed early!
Seven nights, in the night fell before the arrival of Tianshui City, North Road area, rushed to eat sleep all day, feeling summed up into one word: storm!
Catch an early get up at 6 o'clock, in the hair with heavy musty room wash pack up their bags 20 minutes in advance to go downstairs to mention cars, warm car, Cleaning, inspection cars, doing the preparatory work for the drivers. Full of oil bound for Maijishan smoothly.
The dirt road after the rain really hard to walk, Wong Nai Tang, gone before the windshield banner flutter, Sok Fortunately, the road not far from half an hour into the scenic area.
Here, the rise of a peak, such as civil rick, hence the name Maijishan. Maijishan world-famous caves, they built on the cliffs. Here Qifeng Hsiu, Songxi tapes for the "highest Linquan of Qin", "Qinzhou eight scenic spots" the first of the "Maiji misty rain" - Rain in the hazy light of Maijishan there is a unspeakable beauty of the ethereal. Fortunately, we have come this day happens to hit Cijing is not as good as the so-called to the early years of clever ah!
Although the size of Maijishan not Yungang Grottoes, Longmen so magnificent; murals are also far less than the number of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, but its niche in the 194 holes that exist in Jane from the 4th century to the 19th century, 1500 years or more than 7800 clay statue stone statues, more than 1.3 thousand square meters murals, is hailed "Oriental Sculpture Museum." No nonsense, said more than one or more pictures is the last word, we saw digital and SLR camera turns on stage, much to install Maijishan trend back to Beijing. In the final analysis a word: No, I can not shoot, and only I can not see!
Way back in the face for the first time a bad child, of course, not my car, ha! However, no peer-to shirk the responsibility, rapid frame roof, unloading tires, changing, again, after a series of moves the road, once again advised the truck drivers do when Takeo!
Tianshui city a regular restaurant package room, staged a thrilling scene of the drama of the snatch, so I am back in college. Each attendant is not on the second course, etc., on the plate already clean dishes in the waiting, of course, by virtue of a deep grounding in my college days and do the cheeky accumulated sales, vegetables and Yao, is I did not eat, ha ha ~ ~ ~
Tianshui-Lanzhou section traffic can still be, just trying to do for the mountain to make I can not afford to retire. Elevation all the way up, as we all note that the car altitude table, 1500. . . 1600. . . 1800. . . 2000. . . 2200. . . 2500. . . With the elevation of the promotion, a lot of bad weather, first rain, after heavy rain, rain and snow stricken wait on the final surprise us and really let those of us accustomed to living in the plains who had a cardiac, straight to the door to go out to enjoy the mountains the stimulus to bring rain and snow, to experience the alpine climate of minus two is what it's like.
Mad drivers observe his head moves around the city of Lanzhou, I am increasingly running out of patience, command-style denial of the right of his truck, in a very short period of time on the 109 national highway, dusk to Xining work towards!
Western suburbs of Lanzhou, dimming the sky, the drizzling rain to another, the road to overtake a large guest rooms, awaiting refueling in Tujue two front wheels from side to side, then body vibrations on the left and the right side of the central Ge Lidun large passenger to do something snake-like, gradually Startled, the anxious grip the steering wheel to maintain the positive direction, slow by oil, out of danger. . .
In the nearly 3 minutes later, all vehicles were trapped in extreme panic, analysis just encountered dangerous situations, the latter concluded that surface water causing the tire to meet resistance deviation, an uproar in the sense of self, lighter weight, can have six kilos!
Move ahead, and bad road conditions suddenly up, many pit is also full of stagnant water, not to mention the speed is always up-5KM / H, thought, too, tonight even if the account of this road! But the strong sense of responsibility so that I once again encouraged by the play itself is full of confidence in the leading two cars toward the Xining.
Night road to vehicle high beams so I quickly into the fatigue, frustration and Fu Jia's driving skills were not assured that the entire vehicle had to adhere to. 1:00, in the struggle over access to Xining in urban areas, efforts to eliminate public meaning, I moved into a three-star hotel, fast into sleep!
The first two days driving the car 11 hours, with a total trip 650KM. . .
Be sleeping a Lanjue, dragging the pace of Yonglan to eat breakfast, all thanks to a few hours ago, I Shuaixia of that sentence. Exposure to hotel, this familiar feeling returned to my body, but also long since grown accustomed business travel life.
Close to 12 points, riding high on a hillside in the Tar Monastery on the wall and enjoy the snow-covered plateau of the sun. Have been familiar with Tibetan incense-filled, invasive Heart and people on the quiet. Devout believers to walk their own path, turning, call-in of the long head, Tim sesame oil, bless their own good to stay in between heaven and earth. Today (May 3) is an auspicious day, learning Busch, re-tell the truth, people simple, really, Fang Dexia worried about with the burden. Compared various Temple in Lhasa, where made me quiet.
Huang River in downtown Lhasa is not, there are no restaurants or snow just Caine rest at a cafe. Ran the only way the town Rouchard even more of the quiet and simplicity. Ear was filled with artisan production of instruments used in beating people coming rattled.
Tar has Akkadian more than 700, 800 people, such as Jayaa Grand Living Buddhas have more than a dozen monks. Akkadian had lived in the collective by the Church across the shag, the system to learn the Tibetan language, medicine, calendars, religious and other expertise. College have Hin-Chung, Tantric, Yi-Ming, and when the round of four Academy. Semester three to five years to ten years, ranging from more than 30 different sub-sects. Studies later, Akkadian had some training in the monastery to become a generation monks, and some work for the temple to become a monk, and some are in the process of study and work to endure temptation, but also a vulgar, find a woman married and lead ordinary lives.
Tar is a temple to support Temple, and not go out alms. After serving in various church Acre were all believers to accept the support and donation: Hada, butter, Qian meters, housing, full of wonders. Elements of the information age is also eroding the temple. Businessmen and tour guides who lead the believers before the audience with all levels of living Buddha is always brought first to buy colored hada. Expensive and outrageous prices, of course, from more than 60 to more than 600, as if not to buy Hada as a gift, Living Buddhas will not be happy, will not lend a Moroccan top and blessing. Not enough money, so naturally no one to lead, Living Buddha, I disappeared, is not yet reached the edge of France, right? People who ran the study of law is where the Buddha. May be other people do not think so, and traveled all the way come, spend a few, value!
Combined with an open mind and even a courtesy, to Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha are valid. Right through the front of the monks together and even talk to, they will not even salute together. Was impressed by the one far to the monks, even to see my co-ceremony quickly put down the cup salute, deferential. Buddhist monks in their hearts to the three treasures of prostration is supreme.
The first three days, driving less than 200KM, the most relaxing day, overnight Huangyuan city.
Since the 2 nights of that scene occurred, the captain, and the truck fell on my shoulder the important task of what, in order to early to see the hearts of the Holy Land, specially arranged we got up early, all the way to Qinghai and Hunan embarked line. As the route as early as during the previous night to help fill tires when the truck had to talk to, the hearts of a few really.
Starting for less than 1 hour, already see Riyue sun, moon and kiosks, at this time on both sides of State Road 109 beauty greet the long line of sight, mind excited, gradually stop greeting everyone to play. Is indeed a plateau, is not ambiguous - the cold anomalies, less than 10 minutes, freezing we do not live drilling back to the car, and move on.
Riyue is to permanently remain in the Qinghai Lake on the plateau of the barrier (Note: According to scientific research data, a number of years ago, Qinghai Lake is a foreign exchange lake, surrounded by hundreds of rivers to do to vent the lake, the lake and from the east leak into the Yellow River. in the crust fracture due to continued role in the formation of orogeny, the lake gradually squeezed by the uplift of the terrain east, creating a Riyue, so that water exports have been raised by the lonely mountains, blocking the east to the water drip down to the West, now in the daotanghe Riyue hit by a monk doing on the 1st day of clock change is the history of this period of earth's crust traces). Yakou Peak Highway on both sides, Japan and the high arched pavilions and kiosks on the other you can see the famous ancient Akamine, Akamine is the dividing line between the forces of the Central Plains and the Tubo Kingdom. And the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, exactly stacked with Tangfangudao Yamaguchi in the sun and the moon. With regard to the text into the documents the story of Tibet in this total was raised, because the Riyue quench the text into the documents of many touching stories of their way to Tibet.
Only at that moment, deep blue color of the Qinghai Lake jump in front of my mind excited about the rapid response to the hands and feet, the car I called "chills",呵呵~ ~ take into account the Bird Island will be a lot of people decided to close proximity in the Qinghai Lake in Qinghai Lake fishery. Speedboat ride in the lake, suddenly the hearts of a lot of light and spacious. Beauty is not Sheng income, photos, for example.
Qinghai Lake's best-known material non-scale growth of sturgeon fish, salt water fish lake in Qinghai, in the cold water in the one year long and one centimeter from the lake will die within a few minutes. In the lakeside restaurant you can enjoy a variety of ways to cook sturgeon fish without scales. Known as the "whole fish feast", respectively, steamed, braised, sweet and sour, garlic consommé explosion, and sturgeon fish. In addition, there are many locals along the Qinghai Lake to sell their catch to tourists, as well as in the vicinity of the sturgeon fish ? dug into the delicious mushrooms. At noon, in the fishing grounds along the edge of the hotel to eat the fish with the well-known Huangzhong to do and consommé braised sturgeon fish, fish soup is very good apart from that outside, stewed approach is too general, not very tasty. Daoshi garnish has a potato stew (Yak) really delicious beef in Beijing, not eaten so well together.
Driving through dark horse river, lake air birds are, better, mostly geese, gulls and other migratory birds, the larger shape. To the Buha River, across the river is spring Kichigo Gangcha County, is cable-year Ma village, the village the size of the town, shops, restaurants, intensive, which is the gateway to the Bird Island. From the five new bunkers, watching the birds through the promotional materials of the world, or from the five platforms across the railing nearby observation, the pace of release of light, whisper, so as to avoid birds being disturbed. The geese and the Ouniao dense in this small wetland live in harmony, or lying, or steps, or Xiang, drifting around. Females lie lay in the nest in the hatchery, neighboring birds in the side of the guard or for females foraging. No trees here, no flowers, only low-flying bird and the rattle of the rattle of 10000 birds have added a number of sensual and dynamic map.
Bird Island is the beginning of this century immersed in the Blue Wave in an island with an area of only 0.1 square kilometers. As the lake decreased year by year, has now become with the land connecting the peninsula. Tens of thousands of migratory birds due to habitat named Bird Island, in the west of the island called the Hercynian mountains, known as the small sun, the east is called Hai Xipi Big Island, two islands are now connected into one. Every spring, the Bar-headed Goose, fish, gulls, brown gulls and other paid heed to the distant equatorial Xiang, during the island nesting stack nest, raise a family.
Stay late, heavy on the 109 National Road kill to Caka Salt Lake to see the sunset, in the patched disk inter-mountain climbing, often accompanied by ice road and falling rock, really dangerous. Car to the rubber Mountain, elevation 3817 meters, taking into account everyone's safety, decided to descent.
Inner struggle to make this decision for a few minutes, thinking that pass through here last year, TUOTUO bound for Lhasa, but unfortunately can no longer move the ~ ~ feeling 109 State Road, 2198KM milestone uncomfortable. . .
4-day trip, full personal driving, 4 hours, 400KM
Woke up, and traveling the first 5 days, plans for Beijing. Leisurely down sneer at the equipment, the strength of today's arrangement is not, end - Lanzhou. The night before and the other vehicles were differences of opinion have taken place in order to ensure normal working on the 8th, I chose the same route to return, do not take the Northern line car returned to Beijing.
Difficult task half finished, I relaxed a lot, rest assured that the steering wheel to surrender, having peace of mind to enjoy the scenery in the back seat. Digital is digital, Listen to me crazy in the back by the shutter, because it is bit media - really easy!
This time let Fujia child is too full driving addiction, until he shouted that I could not stand to take over, although approaching the Lanzhou.
No surprise, only in the outskirts of Lanzhou taken into the shed a bit strawberries, very fresh (for the first time picking strawberries) ~ ~
The second time auto insurance hit trips on the 6th, Gangchu service area shortly after the speed reference to 100KM, call is heard, before the engine cover off, their view is obstructed, is busy reminding Fujia the tight steering wheel, throttle Qingtai gradually sidelined, Khan ~ ~~~~~~
Nothing to say, the body of this cold-ah! ! ! Since then did not dare to speed has been super-120KM, on at 18 o'clock on the 7th the whole rub back in Beijing.
Busy three days after the hurry, no nothing much to talk about! Full 7 days, 5000KM, a person's driving more than 3500KM.
It was a temptation of the land, back on that piece of land to walk really so moving. Back more than 20 days, and my mind from time to time on the land filled with love and look back. In the night's dream, I still do not get out of Gansu and Qinghai. I am still on the road gallops forward, I am still under the blue skies of the mountain trek, I'm still playing grassland clouds shrouded still in the sun and the moon pass, in the rubber Mountain - 3817 meters above sea level, in where the cry: " Here I come! "" I really come! "
April 30, 2004 was a day late, waiting for it seemed too long. Driving a sport utility vehicle into Tibet is linger longest in my mind a dream to experience the joy ride on the plateau, to feel comfortable flying hearts. For a person who has not been to Tibet, she is so mysterious, so distant, so unfathomable. Mind not only with a bit of fear, but are so want to touch her.
That compared with more than 10 days ago in Tibet, this time made me half unforgettable journey to Tibet. Finally realized that, for me, Tibet, human and natural landscapes of all the mysterious and unfathomable is built on in the process, and only intention here to experience difficult process, and would have touched the hearts of the shock! He also finally understand why knock the head and other body length Tibetans, would the pious, would the dedication to go to Tibet for this ... ... there are thousands of miles away, the road is long, but I could not help silently blessing for them.
Prior to departure, the family friend gave me a lot of advice, the thought of the worst results. I bent to go to not work. Since the choice, as has long been the go to Tibet as a heart who ran cross-country trips, then no matter how hard the way, no matter how other people talk about terrible, I just want to experience once.
Not help set the next year is about, aimed against the Tibet or Xinjiang - Zijia!
