Order: 2003 September 22 to October 6 in Tibet, Nepal trip. Time over half a year, and eventually was determined to journey to write about.
After a period of being betrayed and hurt feelings, I chose to go to Tibet, Nepal travel, can not we give himself a change of mood is really a bit to grasp at all. Since the decision, they begin to prepare a lot of information from the Internet down. The Den hear my plan, but also insisted on going along. Considered for a long time, readily agree that we might himself does not know their mind. As a result, the road by one person into two. Although he had been to many parts of the tour, but this time to Tibet, they still prepare some. For the purchase of equipment, both Qu Letang Hong Kong, and textual research of the User's argument: Hong Kong's tourist and equipment do not cheap prices, and Guangzhou about Nikko. But still a lot of purchases, including the Swiss knife, headlamp, flashlight, compass, password lock, sleeping bags and so on, these things than the quality of Guangzhou, the relative price is pretty cheap.
Were prepared in all cases, fail to live up to himself a cold, because the body is not very good, although there usually head to the gym, but a year almost a cold 5-6 times, each time from the onset to the end are subject to undergo a months. A year's time, colleagues are sure to see a cold and cough troubled me. At this point change floating feeling of natural noise, because the holidays are, please Well, in the two days after the trip was postponed, I decided to set off sick.
22SEP 5:30 AM to get up, after eating instant noodles, they rushed to the airport. Take the 7:10 of the aircraft, aircraft Diqing Airport stops half an hour, as the temperature dropped to 9 degrees, the passengers were put on a coat, I breathe the fresh air, feel the excitement around the passengers. Noon to reach Lhasa Gonggar Airport is 12 points. We sat 35 yuan / peoples to urban areas for civil aviation flights car building. In the car may be tired, he fell asleep. Wake up, mouth dry, cough a few times, his chest began to feel uncomfortable and not actually a bit worried about their body. However, I believe that my will power can overcome all this. Drank a few saliva, telling himself a certain line.
Because it is white Den classmate Tolasa friends to help us to do a visa in Nepal, while the white is only 3:00 minutes to go to work, sometimes not reach two buildings in the vicinity will be in the air to eat lunch, take a break, etc. to contact a friend after the , to help us pre-Rollin White Hotel (160 RMB / night), across the Tibetan Academy of Social Sciences (salad on the road). Just pick up a good, white Bianba our visa brought, because the Nepalese authorities to encourage Chinese people to travel, Qiao good we are faced with Nepal Tourism Festival, the Chinese people visa free of charge. To consider my physical condition, Den insist on living here, and did not go to school and other snow-covered and eight Gallery Backpacker Hostel to live, how much was a little disappointed! However, there are several times and out and feel like a big family, many of the backpackers, Paste door Billboard on trips with many seeking a piece of paper. Settled, the two will be rushed to the two hotels, scheduled to go to Namtso and Nepal car. Lhasa city, the taxi did not play table, a unified city, 10 yuan, a rickshaw ride in general can be 5 yuan. At this time, I really feel has left a familiar city, an exciting, leisurely feeling of freedom for us. To Namtso can not find to go with us because of temporary visitors to camphor just learned about car will return to pick up tourists, but do not have the exact time, so leave contact telephone number, we continue to go somewhere else to find . Finally near an agent, inquiries that there are places tourists planning to go, but he was only one day. Just came back from the Namtso two visitors learned a very cold night in the Namtso, Den decided that day to go back the same day. So they arranged to meet three people 900 yuan rented a Toyota, 62. Worried that the plateau reflects the simple solution of the dinner, a bath is also free, and goes to bed. Middle of the night waking up two points more than the head start hair up, and finally to experience the plateau reflects the feeling. I can not sleep in bed Xia Xiang, but also open the door heard the voices do not seem safe, in any case have forced themselves on daze of sleep.
23 SEP After an uncomfortable 7:00 am, a new day started, my energy has returned, and solve some of the foods. 8:00 am departure. The driver is honest Tibetans, whose name is sub-wang European beads, with a Toyota 62. According to him, by the end of his intention to change a 4500 Toyota. At the same time he left the phone to me, if the future Tibet, will be able to contact him directly, and without passing through hostels. For him, he felt that in fact 62 more than 4500 performance is good, but older models, fast enough, mainly tourists now prefer the 4500, it was intended to change the. Presumably this car can be seen only in Lhasa, the car in the city to exercise Fortunately, could be a city, the perception of what cars are faster than our open, the driver said, can reach a top speed of 120 kilometers, in fact the fastest way only 80 kilometers, is not the right approach, an average of only 40 km. To when the road conditions were good pre-hung is the asphalt road. Zhaxi Damxung to the island from the bumps and dust all the way over. I sat in the front row, watching the scenery along the way, all the troubles in the city has long been thrown outside of the Jiu Xiao-yun. Just installed this in mind for themselves and this piece of heaven and earth wide. From that wood Cuo finally getting closer, in the 5,000 meters Nagen Yamaguchi, address him by the driver to stop, standing on a height overlooking the holy lakes beautiful, like an emerald blue, soft calm, beautiful people suffocating ... ... . Today, the state is also OK, in addition to cough, the other there is not much reflected in the stone edge of the times may Natural Toilet, 10 ran a few steps back, suddenly the hair up, and finally could not understand the logic on the plateau of the exercise. After a period of time to exercise, I finally came to Namtso side, this time his hands touch the holy lakes real, in the snow around the holy lake is so under the vast, boundless boundaries, the water is so clear bottom, the lake shore impact, issue of sound, as if to convey to you the beautiful message. The lake not far from the rock pile, Hada entangled with the wind Gone with the Wind, by carrying the blessings of Tibetans, soaring eagle facing the sun. Hot sun, so that you can not open their eyes, only用心去感受her strength. Pious elderly Tibetan lake will be a grain of rice thrown into the hands of the bells, up and down on the water tap. I also could not help but take over their hands of the bells, followed them and their doing the same thing, although I do not know what it represents, but I have and they are equally pious soul. Pick up water with both hands, gently pat in his cheek, feeling the cool and pure. Before departure, I took a pot of holy water, the next journey, my condition gradually improved, and I do not know whether it is that the holy water pot brought me strength.
Car began to back open, with the car Henan friends really好惨, in Namtso began with fever, hastily read a few minutes, you can not stand cold wind and glare of the sun, back to the car a rest, I will take the anti-fever tablets to give him clothes, he drowsy and fell asleep. Back to the road through the Yangbajing hot springs, is an outdoor swimming pool, said pool of water is the hot springs, is really nothing special. Back to the city is already 7:00 pm in. Things down, then rushed to the school hostel about 8 gallery going Zhangmu car, just 25 days of the Department of Hino minibus to camphor pick passengers back from Nepal. Finally booked the car in Nepal 300 yuan / person, and I intend to have a good rest Den better, because only yesterday to Lhasa, did not give yourself time to adapt to today directly on the altitude of 4,500 meters Namtso. To a real relaxation time, Den began to reflect, legs sour, it may be blown to the wind, rheumatism, seizures, bought some hidden patch to the evening, began to feel giddy head, I took in Guangzhou to buy his dose of Rhodiola rosea , watched him fall asleep.
24 SEP early in the morning they get up, get up to see Den yes, they have themselves to the Potala Palace Mai Menpiao, votes are required to buy a day ahead of schedule, but the breakfast to go or you can buy the same day. Lhasa early morning, there are already a number of devout Tibetans rush to turn through. Square in front of the Potala Palace, there are many Tibetans in the worship. In my opinion, this should be a real focus, care of our own beliefs, the whole body and mind, surrounded by no less than the static and dynamic affect them, and think of city people that easily agitated state of mind, but here, by this atmosphere of impact will naturally calm state of mind of many. I came in first, see the note hanging Pavilion, they find that they forgot his ID card had. But if go back and take, and certainly can not buy today's votes, then keep at that until 8:30 kiosks opened, Please help behind him and bought two tickets, tickets 100, Rugong tour time is 11:00 am half an hour a group, restrict flow of people, this is a good scenic spots protection.
Go back to wake Den, he seemed uncomfortable, his eyes a bit bloodshot, it must be he did not wear sunglasses and burns, while ultraviolet radiation is very powerful in Tibet. As he who usually face out of oil, this time also need to paint on skin care products, sunglasses and skin-care products in Tibet must carry.
11:00 am, finally have the opportunity to see the Potala Palace, and requested a tour guide 50, by a tour guide introducing the history of the Potala Palace, cloth, to learn about a lot of knowledge: fifth century, Songtsan to marry Wen Cheng Princess and built on Red Mountain's. Start of construction of the Red Palace, after the Dalai Lama V, as the Dalai Lama generations (theocracy) in sites, palaces. The palace has V, VI, VII, and many of the Pagoda of the Buddha, is really magnificent palace. 13:00 many tickets went to the Jokhang Temple 75 / person, tickets are attached to Places of Interest CD-ROM. Den by DV capture his heart feel things, the lens, there are benevolent old woman teaching grandson of worship, Temple has a long turn through the platoon leader, I toggle the hand slowly, all the way down, can not help but hand sour. Standing on top of the Jokhang Monastery, overlooking the Potala Palace, but also at the bottom Bajiao Street. Bajiao Street is named for was octagonal, hawking trinkets are really a lot, but seem similar, also seen in Guangzhou. Finally bought three bracelets, each five-, and several silver rings. Today, a day in Lhasa city, stroll, unknowingly began to dark days, but time still early, so sat in the Potala Palace Square, and Den chat. In addition to the Potala Palace, opposite the points scattered light, the other black one. In a few days is the National Day, in the Square will hold a series of celebration activities, go there is the Potala Palace will be lit. We should have been in Nepal, and no opportunity to participate in the National Day Festival. Back to the hotel, we went to this a few days go to Sichuan, with a small restaurant for dinner, this restaurant opened a couple of men wearing a pair of glasses, like a intellectual, but he was the main spoon. Dish entirely consistent with our taste, very light and very fresh vegetables. Tibet did not eat before I felt, especially not vegetables, may be this time to this, it was found the development of Tibet is really very fast, memory, the information in the long past. Lhasa, the supermarket has everything, Guangzhou and some commodities, 90% is also looking into the price the same. Due to the cancellation in the Namtso spend the night before departure in Guangzhou, the procurement of food, has become the burden of my journey.
25 SEP began a trip to Nepal. Cars will be coming to meet us early, but not until 10:00 before starting. More than a dozen passengers, including the Den and I, only three Chinese people, nearly one-hour lunch break to eat, I'm not hungry, they sat outside a roadside restaurant and other tourist exchanges. 17:00 to reach Shigatse, Tibet's second largest city, attendant to pick up passengers guides, said here Lama, Temple and Lhasa is completely two kinds of style, suggested that we come back to go and see. Along the way, sustained at an average speed of 40-50 km, to 9:30 pm only to the Lazi, Lazi farmers stay at hotels, 25 yuan / bed, where meals are expensive, 10 yuan a fried rice, fried cabbage, 15 yuan, two fried eggs 8. Meals, wash after eating a fruit, they got into sleeping bags to sleep. Very comfortable beds, quilts smelly, weather quite cold, Den did not bring sleeping bags, I think he definitely did not break a good night. I am also a little head spinning, sleeping not sink several times on the toilet, where it was dark, the door does not close again, every time the flashlight on the clothes, the fear of falling to go.
26 SEP finally to 7 am, and I climbed out sleeping bags, it seems that the days in Tibet, I am looking forward to quickly dawn every day, because I can not sleep at night, when relatively hard to get by, do not know when they sleep in the end with the. Open the door to see the sky is still dark, but the pre-dawn scene was deeply attracted me, and everywhere is also a quiet sky the stars are so bright, hanging in the air, but the sky and the earth is so close. Each room is dark, everyone is tired of the bar. Only lights on the hotel restaurant, probably the owner has already begun to prepare breakfast for everyone. I have a flashlight to go brush your teeth, wash, water is ice, look at the whole person to wake up. Hot water pot to the kitchen installed, all the hot water with a heavy smell of butter tea. Back into the house to eat chocolate, to add heat. Again after 10 minutes, step out the door, days have begun to daybreak, and the driver in the courtyard of a cold night to launch the car, a foreigner in the hotel gate for stretching movement, with the car, another Chinese friend's room, bright light also can be no one to turn around only to find him after the open space in the room, Betty, in which a South Korean girl they pick up pots of hot water wash your hair ... ..., everyone is their own affairs in the dry, I sat in the hallway, note the diary. Everyone is smiling, gently say hello to meet each other asking whether there is a good sleep last night. Den is also up, but probably not clean to eat last night and because of his poor stomach, middle of the night Naodu Zi, several times on the toilet, quickly take his dose of Po Chai Pills, hoping that he can quickly get better.
