Qinghai Travels (1)
I have a special feeling in Qinghai, and 58 years, my sister graduated from Beijing Normal University, and a number of big brother and sister together to support the Northwest, and in those years of burning passion, they are a high sings "to the rural areas, to the border to go to the country where they are needed ... ... "revolutionary songs, get on the train going west, one to go is a few decades, and now some of them have left the Northwest, and some have already taken root there, and their children has become a new generation of the northwest. This is the third time I have come to Qinghai, Xining, in my mind is still in the same county as a city, but everything changed, when they led the students in my sister species of trees had become a sturdy tree, mud-brick houses are has been replaced by high-rise buildings. This time my sister they are university students in the Northwest have gathered to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their enrollment. Of course, I just play for. How would like a good look at Qinghai Lake呀.
Qinghai Lake - I came again today, we want to go to Qinghai Lake, my teens came to Qinghai Lake, when her sister is to play here, and I always have a special favor in Qinghai Lake, always want to again a good look at it, but also saw the Qinghai Lake, and mood is still pretty exciting. This is my sister's son led a good friend of Xiao Shao, he grew up in Qinghai outsiders, and later went to Macao, read Dr. Macau is now living, but he still did not forget his childhood partners, each of should be back to Qinghai one month old. He said the simple yet profound morals here, and only together with his buddies, it was a genuine affection, there is no formidable in which the kind of happiness is not to be found outside. Our line of 10 people, drove to the Qinghai Lake. .
Qinghai Lake is China's largest saltwater lake, but also large-scale high-altitude lakes in the world, one of which an average of around 3,200 meters above sea level. So, some people here would have some discomfort, but most people do not have much reaction, after all, came not long. Qinghai Lake is a historical name of Lake, as early as the Han Dynasty before the nomadic Qiang people in here, here, have occurred in the Tang Dynasty Tang and Tufan in war, Du Fu, a poem "Do not you see Qinghai head, the ancient bones of the dead no income." Ming Dynasty has happened here, by the Mongolian tribes compete for pasture and cattle and sheep of war. What a beautiful and rich can be seen here, the grasslands of the ranch.
We first came to the northeast corner of Qinghai Lake sand island, as the global climate change, water level of Qinghai Lake average annual rate of 0.1 to 0.15 meters, then the eastern edge of Lake Qinghai Lake, there were two from the mother's son Lake, called Garbo sea (the locals call it the Sun Lake), an ear is called the sea (locally known as Mondsee). Our car stopped at the lake when the moon, that blue water, has been fascinated by the people. This is the Qinghai Lake may be the youngest son, move on, we finally came to the Qinghai Lake Dongbin - dao. The beauty here should be a primitive beauty, desolate beauty. It is precisely because there is no development, it was to preserve the natural scenery. The lake is a boundless dunes, the sun's irradiation, a dazzling white light. List of Qinghai Lake in order to picture, we have spared no effort to go above the sand dunes. Ting-Ting real fine sand, although unlike the land in general hard, but it does not like the sandy beaches and sand so soft, so go up and still feel quite the effort. We climbed a sand dune, in front of another, in order to stand higher, we move forward from there in the past. Go long, calf very difficult, after all, this is Sand Hills. We climbed to the high point, and the beautiful Qinghai Lake on your feet by. Rippling blue waves of the lake, and blue like a piece of precious stones, if not the distance you catch a glimpse of the gray, yellow a thin land, you would thought it was great standing on the beach beautiful. The above is a tile blue lake the sky, white clouds with their constantly changing the shape of the space, floating in the lake. Qinghai Lake is no wonder that there will be many beautiful legends. Lake there are many unknown plants, in such a barren sand, in the lagoons around the minimal amount of water stubborn to learn, but still so green, so pretty. It is sand-fixing, giving oxygen, how great life.
Down the hill from the sand, than on the more difficult, but if you just sit down, like sliding down the same slippery slide may be much easier, and is nothing more than get some sand in the body, is also wrestling Buzhao. We then simply come to a sand-boarding, and soon went to the bottom. Then we reached the lake of. Qinghai Lake Youxiang show you another style of her beauty. Because of the vastness of Lake Qinghai around the different shades of light is different from the color of the lake is volatile and gives people a mysterious feeling. We went at a time when early in July, is a bright sunny noon, near the lake clear and transparent, appearing under the ripple in the breeze. More to the distance the deeper the color of the lake, water days, connecting places, actually won the Sapphire has become. Transparent blue sky, blue, various shades of blue intertwined, really beautiful. Occasionally a few birds flew, white wings in the blue sky in the extraordinarily pure stretch. Here you will dissolve in nature, left the noisy earth the soul has also been purified. Here in addition to our 10 almost did not see other tourists, travel agents, will not bring people to come here. So few people come. Xiao Shao greeted us out, and have been 13:00, and we do not have to eat lunch. Accompanied by two girls disappeared, are you around to look for when two people riding horses in the distance came slowly, and in the silver lake beach, that the situation was really touching scene. We went and their convergence, the poetic images of the site incorporated into the lens.
The Haiyan county seat, ate lunch, are Xiao Shao's childhood friends and their wives, drinking Finger Guessing Game with one of affection. The afternoon, we all came together 1 km away from the Haiyan county seat of Golden Sand. Here luxuriant grass, people with gold and silver over and over to describe this piece of fertile land, so named after the Golden Sand. Greater height of summer, an open prairie flower, an open white flowers, Golden Sand's name is more appropriate. Now and become a resort, enter the door kind of Tibetan girl hada presented to you, while yours truly three cups of highland barley wine, if not drinking, you use your ring finger right hand dip the shells in the cup inside out, and then symbolic sip 1:00 says that receive their kind. Enter into this piece of green meadow, a tent show in a Tibetan your eyes. Shepherd girl, the middle has a statue carved Wang Luobin below was written by the famous song, "In that distant place" song of the read music. The 20th century, 40's, the famous director, Zheng came to the Qinghai Lake movie, the election Haiyan sanjiaocheng 1000 the daughter of long-playing shepherd girl Dolma, Wang Luobin as her assistant, filming the process of Wang Luobin careless with a horsewhip beaten the what Drolma horse riding, horse bouncing up and glare at the Wang Luobin a Droma back with a whip in his back gently pumping a bit, the whip to the Wang Luobin creative inspiration, leaving the Qinghai Lake ago, he wrote down the Chinese and foreign songs sound pretty "in that faraway place, there was a good girl, people came to her accountant to be looked back nostalgia of. ... ..." In the Golden Sand, what we see is a green grass , and the blue blue distant mountains, distant mountains can be seen under the white sheep. Sky Blue's so clear, the sky clouds horizon like a flock of sheep. Some people say that the scenery here, like the Swiss, but I think it is more natural than in Switzerland, there is no decorative carvings of the simple beauty. Opening a meadow full of red and white wild flowers, wild flowers, I never knew there is such a fragrance, incense fascinated people, the United States to make people linger. Get in tents, but also a barley wine presented to you, you are also filled milk, eggs, butter yellow, put a tape, reportedly 20 pounds of fresh milk may be stirred out of a catty butter, then milk fragrance is really tempting. Tibetan girl with a good barley butter mix with fried noodles, bunched up into a finger thickness of the cylindrical, which is the so-called tsampa, you can eat, sweet and palatable, but you can not eat more than a day is said to have two herdsmen do not need to eat. 手抓lamb, roast leg of lamb arouses salivation, where you can enjoy the sheer prairie style. Here at 3,500 meters above sea level, if there are not too tired feeling. I feel some headache, but it will not have much response. The weather is very cool, Beijing coincided with the height of summer, every day at 35 ℃ or so, can here also wear long-sleeved T-shirt, the sun about mountains, the temperature only 8,9 degrees, wearing a trench coat or a short piece quite appropriate. However, the absolute UV-strong, and we went together to the young man, nose peeling of the sun. So, have to cold sun.
Haiyan County of atoms in the City - China's first nuclear weapons development base in May 15, 1995 fully retired, and now it's style remains the same, but the thousand people develop personnel and their relatives, had bid farewell to them with blood and sweat and even built a base of life, went to a new position. Maybe some people had long been forgotten by the world, and their spirit is still available. Those who sacrificed for our country's nuclear industry and even the lives of their young people, at this elevation of 3,000 meters above the alpine pastoral areas, lack of oxygen, the average temperature of around 0 ℃, poor natural conditions, we are faced with 1960 to 1962 natural disasters, hard work in the hunger for several decades, at 3:00 p.m. on October 16, 1964, in this base the success of the successful development of the atomic bombing, June 17, 1967 hydrogen bomb was detonated successfully. It's hard to imagine what they are enduring the hardship of life in order to confidentiality unknown, the spirit that is now willing to make the lonely people can not understand. They kind of passion for the motherland is also dedicated to people today have little to do. The front of the city's monuments atomic Aiping General inscribed, "China's first nuclear weapons test base" 12 golden Chinese characters, followed by 600 words inscription recorded great achievements in development of personnel. Right and left is the atomic and hydrogen bombs exploded in smoke relief, the top of the monument of stainless steel ball, symbolizing the atomic bomb. Underground test site open, and enter the test room at all inside the original is still preserved in the state, life-scientists sculpture dressed in white overalls, allows you to produce a real person to see the illusion. At that time, no matter what kind of background, but these people are great, and many college graduates leave school to enter the one this piece of wilderness, a lifetime dedicated to China's nuclear industry. Come here you will be deeply shocking.
Live in the west the town at night, here is the atomic city, is China's first nuclear test base site, and now the capital of Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the source moved from the door here, the town was renamed the West Sea. There are wide streets, monuments of national unity, and the atomic city exhibitions. In short, everywhere ruins left unsung heroes of entrepreneurship bring rambling material and spiritual wealth of people can not be measured by money.
The next day, we drove to Bird Island, as water levels drop, there has become a peninsula, is intended to go by boat, and now repair a road, through Bird Island. Car along the highway to the west around the Qinghai Lake opened, where the lake road, very well and will soon be here, a bicycle race held in the lake, close to noon, we drove to the Bird Island. I am 68 years, Bird Island, because seal Island, did not on the island, it has been my regret. Now I can enjoying scenery of Bird Island. Battery ride car first came to the Hercynian mountains, where due to eggs everywhere, so called "Egg Island." In this area of only 0.27 square kilometers of the island, once a habitat for migratory birds, 10 thousand in each of 3,4 month, the Tibetan Plateau snow and ice melting section, the Bar-headed Goose living in the southern cold, brown-headed gulls, fish, gulls, cormorants Ci, etc. will be more than 20 kinds of migratory birds in groups across the mountains and little hills, facing the snow and wind, traveled all the way to Bird Island camp, where a superior living environment, the lake's fish and delicious shrimp is that they food, plants lush, cool climate, quiet environment so that they tie the knot here, enjoy the honeymoon. To a 4,5-month nursery birds began to lay eggs, chick feathers 6,7 constant fullness of the month, when birds crowded in upon, a few miles away can hear bird sounds. Unfortunately this is the last scene, and now the bird much less, possibly because of environmental degradation, but we have seen the scenes are still beautiful. Here you can no longer close to a bird habitat areas, railings to separate you and the birds for some distance. But there are still Shangqian Zhi bird in front of your eyes from time to time to take off and landing. In the near bush, revealing white eggs, if with a small telescope, see even more clearly. Locals told us that fewer birds now, and this has caused the Qinghai Province, and even national attention. Bird Island has been included in National Nature Reserve, the United Nations included in the 【Manual】 Wetlands of International Importance, and joined the 【waterfowl habitat】 Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, which would have the protection of the Qinghai Lake and Bird Island has played an important role. 1 kilometer away from the Egg Island is another island - Hai Xipi island Wo legumes, wild onions and other plants grow lush, cliff east of the island, in the islands more than 10 meters of the lake there is a huge rock towering rugged, top However, an area of 30 square meters full of cormorant nests built, several hundred cormorant habitat in a small place, noisy, is like a bird's castle, as here, the birds are mostly cormorants, so called cormorants Ci Island. Rock, the blue water sparkling in the sunlight like a glistening scales, a rosy clouds, so that water changes out of pink, yellow and other exotic colors, from time to time cormorant flying wings, so you entertained.
From the Bird Island out of the car speeding east along the south bank of the lake. Here are mostly broad meadow, along the road are the beautiful pastures, as the song to sing: "The snow-white clouds on a day like sheep ... ...," a calm gentle yak grazing in large areas of grass, dark blue to the lake a limitless, you often think you are came to the beach. This makes me think of when I come to the scene of Qinghai Lake. I was still only 18 years old, because in Xining Yan'an to jump the queue on the go play, when there is no tourism, said his sister to me and cousin (who was also Yan'an to jump the queue) to find a bandwagon, is to send cement Golmud , came back pass Qinghai Lake. At night the driver of the dark horse living in the Qinghai Lake Changhe Town, my cousin refused to hotel accommodation, one to save money, and secondly, for a good look at Qinghai Lake, the two of us to put on coat, on the Qinghai Lake sat night. Days gradually dark enough, there is no trace of a thousand miles prairie lights, night is dark, and even the stars in the sky seemed so close, so much. Black Lake was scary at night, Kazamaki flutter over the big waves toward the shore, like a huge beast, whistling, pops a shot to the shore, a big wave and then a really a bit frightening taste. That is not a lake, there is the sea. Lake of wild flowers were strange, I have never experience such a feeling, this time I really found this wild flowers, know who to issue such a scent. When the morning comes, the East appeared bright, we are staring to wait for sunrise, I have never seen such a beautiful sunrise. Start the East edge of the red sun appeared, it was actually then the red glow of the sun slowly become larger, and small half into a half, the sky becomes colorful at this time, the sun went so far as surrounded by the beautiful ribbons, "Who holds color refining the sky dance," this is true wonders of it. Slowly, the blue of the lake has been dyed a golden yellow, the sun began to golden success, it Caixia will disappear, and you will think you came to the kingdom of the sun. The sun as a whole rose up, and finally jumped up from the water.
Drivers to buy the lake Qinghai Lake, yellow croaker, and we also wanted to give his sister to bring some back, suddenly we find that in a small pond, inside there are a lot of fish, old fish, so many of Qinghai Lake, and we quickly get string bag has a lot to, Hing Chong Chong's got the car, the driver told us that the fish which is the Qinghai Lake, which is marked with fishermen, fish, dig small reservoirs, the fish are raised in the inside, no wonder so many good fishing for it. Made in, fishing, fishermen are back on board to sleep it. Nao Lege big joke. At that time young, really know nothing. The yellow croaker also eat, and although the lake closed for several years, may people have been Touzhuo fishing, and we eat at a restaurant in the Lake Qinghai authentic fish, it had no scales, very delicious. But somehow impractical to eat, after all, do not allow salvage.
Eaten lunch, cars began speeding east, more and more of a rape a bloom in the lake, then golden, as we see the same in Switzerland. The more east, closer to agricultural areas, rape is also more green grass, yellow flowers, blue lake in the backdrop of blue sky and clouds unspeakable beauty. The plateau was such a clear day, was such a golden yellow, grass is so green and the original, not eyes to see can not imagine. Daotanghe because it flows with the other rivers from the west to the eastward is different and will flow from east to west is named, in fact, are a number of river flows to Qinghai Lake, so the direction should be different, originated in the surrounding high mountains more than 50 rivers, was the heart-shaped into a lake, so what direction it should be said of all bar.
Car along the alpine meadow has been opened to the Riyue. Riyue purple red sandstone ridge, so in ancient times referred to as "Akamine," legend, when Princess Wen Cheng to Tibet and went Riyue, board Akamine distance, see the mountain's western mountains of ups and downs, everywhere is a vast expanse of grasslands, and she very much miss his hometown, he took out his sun and moon Hokyo immediately see the beauty of Chang and his family, Princess Zhu Lei horizon, Rouchangcunduan, but she thought of Emperor Taizong of her repeated instruction, the deep know themselves a heavy responsibility, he resolutely threw the sun and the moon Hokyo Akamine Dongpo Tufan set foot on the land to the west, Tibet and pro. To make a contribution to Sino-Tibetan unity. She commended the people of this mind will be Akamine renamed as "Riyue." In 1984, the provincial government of Qinghai-Tibet Highway in the Riyue dumb (elevation 3520 meters) on both sides of the construction of the Japanese Pavilion and the Moon. The two pavilions are octagonal brick-wood structure, Ting Ding glazed tiles, painted cornices, painted the moon and the sun patterns, glittering, with a strong Tibetan architectural style.
There is a saying goes, a local called "come to Riyue, two tears quit." In fact, this is to say, one-off Riyue like Wong Zao, and everything changed. The reason is China's physical geography on the Riyue an important dividing line is the outflow region and flow of China's regions, the monsoon region and the non-monsoon area, the Loess Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the dividing line between agricultural and pastoral areas. Riyue the east, thousands of fertile fields, the scenery of southern school of Frontier; the west side of the vast grassland, cattle and sheep flocks, a view beyond the Great Wall. We are also able to see firsthand the huge gap. Guo Riyue ago, mountain green, everywhere pasture. One-off Riyue, they entered the agricultural area, the vast plains, green crops and large yellow cauliflower, bees gather honey, water gurgling, really beautiful. But locals still very poor, many houses still using adobe Lei Cheng bargain.
After a Riyue we went straight to Xining, and playing in Qinghai Lake, which lasted two days. Unfortunately, we have to catch Unfortunately, in the Qinghai Lake fishery, every Saturday there are sailing into the sea, mountains, said the island surrounded by rings of water, away from the earth, built temples on the island as early as the Han dynasty, there are many monks in that practice winter, frozen lake, the faithful come out, back less than a year's rations, and living supplies, for one year will not come out until the second year in winter. After his followers continued to build temples, Baita. The island of green grass and wild flowers everywhere, fresh water springs, the environment elegant. Climbing distance, panoramic view of Qinghai Lake, which opened up, Shuitianyise, gulls diving Xiang magnificent scenery, especially the beauty of sunrise and sunset will make you entertained. I hope I will have a chance to Zaiqu. If someone want to go, may apply to the Xining-day lake tour information. (0971-8250107, or 3969247). This is what I deliberately copied down.
Qinghai Lake is beautiful. Unfortunately, there are too isolated, do not receive proper publicity, there is no good development. However, the development is not enough, it left a natural pristine beauty.
