Was trapped, lying on the sleeper to sleep, feeling hot, head straight Tang Han, dry throat, a little bit of change, constantly drinking daze sleep for a while at night more than two points, up to the toilet, and then back to bed on the then I can not sleep, and a little bit of land Yankou Shui, the same as the pancake over and over again and like a dried up pond about fish. Eyes have been shut, thinking has become increasingly clear, so much came all the way to what it is to suffer?
May be passed two or three hours, simply get out of bed to see desert scenery, trains in the vast Gobi Desert in the forward corner to moon hanging in the horizon, glittering behind the distant mountains, the sun will soon rise up, to yellow, with no grass , there is no sign of life, this is the west, this is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Out of Lhasa, along the Lhasa River, there are large areas of wetlands, which is Lhasa's lungs, "Happy Spring plumbing duck prophet", twos and threes of ducks in the water games, Lhasa, Willow Valley has felt the breath of spring, can not wait to out new shoots.

Setting sun shone on slowly flowing river Yajiang zigzag, golden, the wind stirring up the river sand, dried tree dotted in the villages, luxuriant green and that is in front of Shigatse.
Tingri before a checkpoint, the roadside are yellow grass and barren mounds of earth, blue sky and white clouds, pastoralists in the roof of the streamer fluttering in the wind sounds, read the sixth mantra over and over again. I humbly believe and Ali scenic area is similar to carry do not live for fear of their own, decided not to Ali, this is also fancies.

Hotelier two young little girl sitting in a chair on the balcony in his eyes, so innocent smile, take pencils to the six-year-sister, shy for a long time it took over, picking up a camera Kuangpai.
Road, the lunch restaurant can be seen in Nepal tourist signs fishtail peak, looming, Yun Er is its mystery. Travel is a life, the same scenery, the same way, people will no longer walk up and have different feelings, and perhaps this is to choose the reason has been on the road bar.
