July 14, 2004 Thursday Tingri - Everest Rongbuk - Everest Base Camp Qing
Travel faithful warned, can not see Everest, fully depends on fate, a lot of time, hardships of the travelers came to the foot of Mount Qomolangma, as clouds of the block, and can not see the true capacity of Everest.
At that time did not specifically concerned about it, because do not know how to see Mount Everest would be feeling. As there is no imagined the trek all the way, seems to have thought about the outcome did not go out.
Sunny Sunny, from Tingri way to mark the starting of the small hotel into the core area of Lulu checkpoints, climbing into the car is full of a streamer with the Mani Dui Yamaguchi, Laudin master Shouyi Zhi wrote: Here you can see to Everest.
Could not believe their own eyes the scene, after numerous ups and downs of the hills is a row of mountain peaks, Cho Oyu clearly laid down in the far right, left misty, but we can see that there are several peaks, here is the well-known 4 rated as the world's tallest mountain convergence of the Department, from right to left are the Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu.
All of these names would have thought that for me is the name and concept, but today it is a spectacular and Hui-hung, the momentum of what the impact on me, our feet, is the endless vast Tibetan hills, endless views of brown color, people walking on top like a slowly creeping ants, we are opposite, is to shine the holy mountain communities.
Clouds fluttering, Everest jian is gradually being realized, finally, the magnificent pyramid of Everest mountain ridges get so displayed in front of us, unparalleled shock.
Never thought could be so happy, in came that day to see Mount Everest, but also did not expect to see Everest feeling is so happy, who themselves still in the clouds ... ...
Stationed in the Rongbuk monastery guest house, where Mount Everest is said to be all over the world watching the best location, our room actually facing the Everest window, sat on the bed can be seen everywhere on the hills. Guest house in the shabby little restaurant to eat only the cabbage and egg mix in rice and noodle meal, we began to 8 kilometers away, embarked on foot Everest base camp.
Amin of the original peer Asya also likes outdoor sports. Asya and Amin have participated in the marathon in Hong Kong like the competitions, is also said to have achieved very good results. 8 km in our ears, it can not What kind of long-distance, walking is the most natural choice. However, at an altitude of 5,300 meters on foot does seem to be where the difficulty can not be compared with the plain, plateau response is direct impact on our breathing, walking is difficult to speed up the pace. 8 km away, and we walked three hours.
Three hours, we have experienced Feishazoushi high winds, hail swift, sudden pelting rain, hail, when the shield had to hide in the rock side, more often braved wind and rain on the road to walk silently. 8 km at this time seemed so long, so that experience in my life is just the first time, in the face of tremendous force of nature, man is so insignificant. People can do is to endure, persist and adapt.
However, this is Tibet, which is experienced by people in Tibet live, let us cursory, skimming over the surface to see tourist attractions in Tibet 7-8 on a beautiful, magnificent, green, friendly, but in a long period of time in Tibet and the harsh the natural environment. Wind, snow, thunder, electricity, rain, in the cities can be poetic, where it could become a hurricane, hail, snow and ice closing off hills, mountain torrents, landslides, destruction of a person can have all the power. When we in the city can safely choose the individuals struggle to realize their dreams all the time, seems to have completely forgotten how many people's lives will be the impact of the natural environment, such that we are so happy, is true ignorance.
The time has finally arrived at Everest base camp, it really was like a friend once said trip simply as a lackluster one place, clouds blocking the Everest, and do not see the slightest trace of peaks, the camp is more than a dozen tents, Everest base camp of the monument, there is a tent pavilion of China Post. Small young Tibetan boy told us about the fossils, accommodation, motorcycles and various and hope that we can give him to bring some business, said their homes had been living here, with the recent restrictions on all vehicles stopped at the Rongbuk Monastery, and their sharp fall in business. Also said to have been there for three days did not see Everest, only this morning, suddenly see the whole Everest.
Here is the starting point for all kinds of miracles and dreams, I wonder how many people in this start of the peak on the world's known throughout the world, to realize that this point can be so trivial. Walked from the camp to continue to depths, is a large expanse of rocks, it seems too long, walking up and feel boundless, snow water washed down the mountains to stay in the stone, the constantly expanding, until a stretch. The whole mountain in addition to our five and a foreigner from far seemed to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Tian Sean down, suddenly are in such a vast beach rocks a distance, the surrounding mountains, the distance between people is so far, I have a hint of fear and fear, I am into submission in this magnificent, I have fear in their own insignificance.
Return Journey to the way the feeling is more than the long, deserted road Gobi strange things strange and several times stopped to rest, eat all the candy and chocolate, had arrived in Lhasa, reached a new high of 115 heart 130. Brother constantly encouraged me, saying that the height of 5200 meters in 16 kilometers round-trip walk is enough to be proud of. Along the way has given me many, many caring older brother at this time also like a real brother gave me the most confidence and a sense of security.
Quick return to Rongbuk Monastery, when clouds block slowly Gone Everest, Everest began to slowly appear, while we are filled with tired before finally arriving at Rongbuk, the Everest mountain ridges appeared in two thick full the middle of the clouds, in the sunlight behind the clouds, it might appear so majestic and holy, it really gave us the best reward for 16 kilometers on foot, it is so close that seems to breathe accessible, it was also so far away, connecting the sky . Could not help but take pictures back to the room, sat on the bed looked blankly out the window of Everest because of the sunset color changes, but also sent for his brother could not help but take pictures out.
Night, a small simple restaurant packed with more than 20 from travelers around the world and China, the Tibetan girls do eat eggs, cabbage, rice and noodles any combination of carriage are quite a few tourists have chosen to go the 16 km, Although still feeling tired, but that foot is still worthwhile.
With great difficulty to overcome altitude sickness in Lhasa to continue attacking in the Everest, it is difficult to fall asleep, headache, dry mouth, only to hear the excitement in the courtyard of the foreigners were loud cries of greeting sound with. In these voices, I heard what I have heard the most touching love confession, it is in the small courtyard to make international long distance calls a boy:
"Hi, Hi, I call you, I call you because
There're not many people can get call from Mountain Everest, you know,
You know, I love you. "
At that moment, I hope that I can telephone Wang Dan's light girl.
