2004/5/10
Today's arrangement, very rich, after crossing the Brahmaputra, visiting Samye Monastery, and then go to Yamdrok Lake, and intends to lakeside camping, to today's camping, last night arrested people deliberately buy a lot of fruit.
8:00 left is east, along the yellow sand clear water, where the vast open Yajiang, there are a few kilometers wide, only to see the other side of the trees at the misty trees. The sun has not risen, ink blue waves of the river, quiet, river sand, large and small, near or far, a few birds passing Didi De stop, distant mountains gently stretch, pure yellow, the entire field of vision in the clean and bright , as if only two kinds of blue and yellow colors, the sky clouds, the green dots is one of the roadside buffer. Could not help but think of the Nile, Upper Egypt, Valley of the Kings, too, against the river and the barren land and harmonious.
An hour later, the car hooked elegant riverside pier. Said the pier is actually a wooden park with a few of the flood. Early boats used to cross the river is the leather and seen pictures, leather boat is tough wood, wicker backbone to do the outside covered with several pictures made of Yak leather sewing, small boat, cowhide into the water, upon immersion, we issued soft, flexible shallow reef resilience capability. Leather boat can not be upstream, so the boat can only be down the river to the end, the boatman will ship pack on his shoulders by the land go back to the upstream (the weight is only 30 ~ 40 kg). Tibet, and rivers, and varied topography, sedimentary rock river bed, river rapids. To adapt to this natural environment, leather boat that water transport in this area often can be seen. However, we came to the ferry only a diesel flat-bottomed boat, early morning river waves Linlin, closer only to find Yajiang clear bottomed out, a ship full of monks in red and slip away from us, we are happy waved, Although strangers, in which between heaven and earth do not know why that is so touched and happy. Buddha say: reincarnation of the 500 sub-Looking back, in exchange for this life time pass by, fade can be do not like!
Crossing the river approximately 1 hour, in order to avoid the shoals, the ship around after another in a big Bay, take a good look bright heaven and earth, there is still loud singing, magnificent and with a boat on one side of the Tibetan people looking at us foolish silly laughter. To the other side, but also take three carved van, a great dust, only to see the distant mountains, the pace is the bright dazzling sand. Deng really only gave us half an hour of free time, it was only hurried stroll lap, Samye Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in the history of the first temple was built in AD 762, it took 17 years to complete. Legend Temple site by Padmasambhava (Tibetan Buddhist master) survey, the size of the temple by the lonely nursing (India monk) design, ZAP tshe promote Buddhism and Bon restrain invited to pass through the monks living in monasteries, Transwhiz, encourage noble disciple monks and nuns to Sang Ye attend, established the lofty status of Samye Monastery. Borneo dynasty of ancient India, the temple is built in the Magadha Oudan Da Bo Lai Temple as a blueprint for construction. The entire complex is in full accordance with Buddhist scriptures in the Boundless layout: the magnificent Uta hall, representing the world's center Sumeru; the sun, moon, 2 Temple, a symbol of the universe in the day, month 2; Uta hall four corners of the pagoda, on behalf of four kings; hall uniformly distributed around the four main hall, 8 small hall, the Quartet expressed the Ministry of the Aral Sea in the four continents and eight Small Island; surrounded by a circular wall of the temple, symbolizing the world's periphery iron Wai Shan. As and Tan City (Mandala) in a manner similar, so it was said that it is a replica of the Mandala Tantric built. Jin-Sheng Song a transitory man slowly immersed in the door ears, Uta hall filled with monks, co-authored the edge of the mural a Yunhong, lead by the middle of sitting back, and listening to the sound of loud reading recitation not help resting flat gas, quietly videotaping of a few. And Pimpin in the mezzanine hall hallway and spin in a circle, dark and humid, skipped through the high roof of the streaks of light, we can see that wall full of pictures. Unfortunately, time is too short, where the religious atmosphere, really want people to be a while.
Out of the Samye Monastery, backtrack crossing, did not expect everyone playing a boatman, not to say a good time to meet us, it is midday, hot and hungry, sheltering in the car nap, but only to the the security of not only security is just as fun. Ever since, the Ajie couple, old land, Chiang Kai-well I have in the elegant riverside playing in the water barefoot Yazi, by the way playing the battle Shui Zhang and sand. Sheng Luan everyone attack them a bit, the result is to be pursued and killed in the Ya River flood on the plummeting almost fell into the water. . . . . . Inspection of empty beer bottles at a hand grenade known as competition, far from trying to Chiang Kai-deception, then his shoes, and Ajie buried. Who knows this guy with one mind, without a few moments on the Yayaguaijiao dashed over, grabbed his shoes so scared I Satuijiupao ... .... Summed up a lesson, not both, and few people go to war, when Hitler was Zuoyoukaigong failure, or China's ancient well: befriending distant attacks. Laughing and joking in the time flies fast, for a boat to go. Return a lot of quiet, quietly appreciate this piece of great rivers and mountains.
The Gonggar county eaten lunch, we are already excited to discuss the plan to go camping Sheep Lake, and Gordon really to see if they are also some cardiac "Well, I'll try", because franca in the sub-county roads, instructors are specially inquire out a trail from the mountain to go through, so we should see the sheep, lakes and most people see a different point of view and look at the mountain not very high, but the way I see it is the most rugged, mountain 18 Bay is one such, and our car Yakou, saw a large blue lake seemed to have a life-like color in the sun constantly changes, from deep to shallow, from dark to tomorrow, a variety of blue woven together, remember that reading, see a color you can take on many of the names to be broken down nicely, and could feel trouble, can now really regret not properly recorded. The surrounding mountains to greenish yellow as the keynote ups and downs as well as between the clouds were floating in from the endless change, nice to do this piece of puzzled Lake border.
Out of the car, is a lake of the meadow, a few head fat horse is slowly walking, riding for a while, and resolutely do not groom holding, right or wrong should be vertical and horizontal look, it appears Pimpin is the most handsome of the heroic immediately. While the other side of disputes and unhappiness has spread in several master a camp on the head with Bo Langgu shaking of the same is even more exasperating is that they actually just want to let us see that we must go back a little bit of a fraction, particularly in Nepal Mary, it seems old habits die hard. Gordon really is very difficult, the President furious, and not seen his face so serious. Really do not wish to recall this scene, the last can only be a compromise. We abandon the camp, then move forward to open a master. This decision is very wise, sheep and winding lake from the map point of view, very irregular, abductions of a small Bay, eyes suddenly see the light, so that the lake is simply the sea, a layer of the waves beating the shore. Beauty of the temptation to get me step by step forward, a look back, the old land has begun to climb, and stole a little lazy, from the roadside was taking a short cut up on the cliff, in fact, is not high, 56 meters bar, but did not expect to climb half was found at the foot of loose gravel, a force on the slide down, then it is riding a tiger, can not stay, suddenly very nervous. For their lazy is extremely upset, but it can only be firmly attached to the cliff, listening to his heartbeat slowly easing up, took a deep breath, break the big bang up, standing at a safe place before the body that are cold sweat. The next climb is the effort to live, the last of the sheep up Lake Six Strong Guys, hereby help earn Memorial: A Jie brother, sister Luo, Xiao-Mei Lu and Chiang Kai-old take-away like family. Standing on top of the hill, watching this piece of beauty, very excited, but still the tears. Never thought I would be so fragile susceptible to heart this time is probably the most flexible time.
When the car was found on the board is really very bad mood, even though there is no camping, this brother is still to be called. The Kamba of this honest and straightforward guy some red eyes, in fact, leave even more regrettable that it smacks of obsession, and the E Jie Deng true way to console, make him feel changed for the better, so good people on our side we do not have to look at, it should be good protection, Hehe. Back to the road, such as Amy's car left the right, have been do not come, Ajie some anxiety, the roadside is precisely a deserted cabin, windows and doors Daohai integrity, and the baby a bet, the result that he was not thrown into the window box, polite knock him cold meal, and so on for a long time, finally contacted the original half-Road Amy's car into the sand flame, finally repaired vehicles are driven over, everyone at ease, and this time, baby, and somehow Hongjie a car under a car up loud noisy I do not know why, also each have a nemesis. Finally have been allayed.
Such a delay, we have until nine to Lhasa, the team facing a long queue, as well as traffic lights, suddenly very disappointed in Lhasa, in my eyes As a result, and in general there is no difference between cities, Tang really happy to call home , remember that he asked a lot of people, do you have to cry in Lhasa, when no idea, and now I know, I moved been exhausted. Threshold increased, but when Abdallah stunned appears before your eyes, a city of noise in the silence where large stands Chakpori and Abdallah, the way Bashansheshui all the way, this is what we search for a symbol or sharp fluctuations in moods a few.
Living in the auspicious hotel, room small, bathroom is poor, nine men were all to live a human, said a total snore at night the sound of flying together, in the auspicious day to eat a bit random and found that indeed well-deserved reputation in Lhasa yogurt, send a copy to the sick taste of small leaves taste. After dinner spirits still high, a group of people through Jiu Jin, Sapporo Sapporo leisurely along Beijing Road swing the past, dim the lights, all the shops have been closed in the darkness like a sleeping beast Abdallah, sitting In the gate of the steps, gently stroked the top of the inscriptions, faint smell seemed to some historical atmosphere and return to auspicious day, the door has a barbecue stalls, it also provides highland barley wine, cooking and for the sake of slaughtering the sheep would be a to drink 300 cups, is to eat happy, baby, and nancy is also stroll back, one can see the gratification we eat, but also to sit down and drink big mouth big mouth to eat meat, we are well-intentioned bunch of bananas to help them to divide up clean.
