In the journey in Tibet about 3,000 kilometers, and time-consuming more than 20 days, very hard, but very satisfied with the travel.
Tibet
So far, Tibet in the eyes of the majority of mainlanders who are mysterious, unknowable. The same is true of the stool, so with reference to pre-trip stool more than thirty Raiders, four different travel books and maps, several drafts, a final proof of success is a paper plan. The reason is very simple, stool and that the driver rang the doorbell's itinerary was changed teacher experience, but the reality has proved that the driver was right. This is something for the encounter to say.
& nbsp9 7 On the afternoon off at the West Railway Station, and do not hold after the departure of a friend. Wen Wen Again, it was party, led by three great women alone embark on the pilgrimage road. A half-day + a night journey was nothing to write home may be the next day at 3 pm more to Lanzhou, the platform is 4 points more than the opposite of the train bound for Golmud. To Golmud berth vote Wenwen outbound are bought, it's easy. The train is green, old-fashioned cars, Yingying the edge of the bed board two seat belts, as well as the familiar smell inside the car, always make stool reminds turbulent childhood: from one year of age until the age of eight, stool is always in Beijing, There are round-trip between Shanghai, Taiyuan, and sometimes parents and live in, sometimes, and grandmother live, round-trip for each child for six months should be run out of tears, so that now stool like Fadia, nor the tears he admits. Beijing to Golmud tolls 541 / person, including Beijing - Lanzhou T151, Lanzhou - Golmud K427, were sleeping.
Digress, and go to Golmud in the way they run into a stool over to businessmen in Fujian, in this line has been for many years. He told the bench say: the night will be checked on an elevation of 3,500 meters of the Golmud first peak, if there is no sense of time, then after arriving in Tibet should be no problem. But, very unfortunately, struggling in the stool from the middle of the night on the edge of headache and nausea, until the dawn.
& nbsp9 day from 11 am to reach Golmud over, we went straight to the traffic hotel door, unloading packages, look at the house, talking about the price, half an hour later, the stool had to live in two separate standard room. A short break, in line with the intention of eating a Bao Fan, we are in 40 minutes after riding the bus to Lhasa. The reason is very simple, this type of vehicle regardless of the degree of the old and new, or clean far better than the next day start of the retro. Has been wound up about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we have accounted for the final vacancy Zheliang sleeper car: the last row of the upper berth. Stool with great regret that did not eat lunch on the train, and did not know this nightmare has begun. Stool is almost all the way to the Tuzhuo Lhasa along Qinghai-Tibet Road, left no impression, except for that rough and violent earth-yang field of road. Qinghai-Tibet Railway in the road, the original more than 20 hours of road, because traffic control, walked 42 hours, and finally 11, 9 am, to Lhasa, I got out when the first thing that strikes the body floating in the clouds. No more delays, and we went straight to Asia Hotel.
Room and board in Lhasa in Lhasa, we have lived in Asia Hotel, which is based on the recommendation of streamers. It is said to three well-known backpacker enclaves in the most expensive, but the stool has no regrets: Because feel good. East Road in Beijing, the first statue on a yak with a place and get off at the door a large yard, flower beds at an arbor, there are always people who open or read, and then walked the path between the two houses, but also a courtyard , the sun drying countless clothes, drying under the corridor of the lazy people, here's attendants are also due to the wanton sun, bright smile, song was brilliant. Na Dong hotel in the sub-four-story building has a great top of the roof, from where you can see the Potala Palace.
Asia hotel room choices, among other things for us are: double room two kinds of specifications: 50 / room, no TV + older; 70 / room, a TV; 3 earth is 90 / room, but not the retail beds; while retail beds 4 human and 10 human, are 20 / person. In addition, there are some sub-standard hotel rooms, 260 / room. Asia Hotel has a clean public toilets and 24-hour shower, under normal circumstances do not have to queue up. When we go live in 50 /, the roof of a beautiful design, very clean; came back lived in a three humans, the roof without a pattern, but many of the beautiful Tibetan furniture and a small TV. Asia Hotel is a money laundry, the jacket 2, long clothing 3, generally a night also wash better. The only bad place is Asia hotels generally do not accept reservations, is Jiaoqian no good.
In Lhasa, the eating is easy to solve. The Sichuan restaurant on the road everywhere, not necessarily tasty or authentic, but certainly cheap; stool had been in several agreed that Lin Kuo West Road, the old Vehicle Administration Office across from the "old Wenjun" A really good not expensive recommended; there is an opposite in the Potala Palace "Yunnan ham, chicken pot Xuanwei", legs are real materials of Xuanwei ham, chicken is Rujiabaohuan domesticated chicken, Tangxian delicious, reasonable price really hard to forget, and still cherished. In addition, there are a large number of western restaurants, went to the edge of the hotel, including sub-DUNNY, taste good, but expensive; street was on the Majiami, taste in general, kinda expensive; the Jokhang Temple Square 8 profile of coffee, is probably the most inexpensive enough, and on the second floor of the arbor to see the Jokhang Temple Square, both in life phenomena, you can lean on a railing overlooking the Potala Palace. This restaurant has several kinds of Tibetan meal for sale, stool taste of some, have fled. It seems longer a purely stool Han stomach.
