Road on both sides of an embankment Cang yellow screen often jumped out to destroy the quiet, this is the state has invested 50 billion yuan (including 26 billion central budget expenditures) the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet railway. Qinghai-Tibet Railway line parallel basic and the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Here everywhere a means, that is, a world record in the history of the railway, such as the highest, the longest mileage by permafrost tunnel height of the highest in the elevated than the largest, and so on. From the field of view, along the embankment project has basically completed. Is said to be completed Qinghai-Tibet Railway will be opened to traffic in 2006.
I am not surrounded by the strict sense of the activists, and I know that the construction of the railway sector in the engineering and surrounded by a lot of controversies, many environmentalists as the world's last piece of land inaccessible by rail loss Rusangkaobi, crying runny nose. Activists noted that: no man's land in northern Tibet railway construction will bring about extinction of wild animals. Climate scientists say: Tibet's development, would undermine Tibet's fragile ecological balance, and thus affect the whole of the Yangtze River and Yellow River water environment to bring disaster to the whole nation.
This railway project from the beginning of stop-bits and pieces, it is already started the third degree, we can see the difficulty of this railway project is huge and controversial great. However, with the country's development and resource constraints, bottlenecks in the degree of increase, the construction of the railway can not be avoided, no matter what! In northern Tibet, China gradually found the largest chromite, China's second largest copper mine, as well as 50% of the total world reserves of lithium ore. Associated to the construction of Qinghai-Tibet Railway in 1967 because at that time the Geological Survey that the paucity of natural resources along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to stop building, I really do not know Tibet's rich and happy or sad.
However, I am not very in favor of a category, such as the Green Party of extreme environmental groups environmentalist point of view, from my contact with the people of Tibet along the way observation seems to me the construction of the railway generally expect and welcome the attitude of holding, and they expect the railway construction will be in close contact in Tibet and the outside world. They look forward to the opening of the railway after a new life. Moreover, the insistence on strict environmental doctrine, in addition to talk about cause and in addition, changes in the world of reality simply do nothing. Also, I have always insisted that human beings can always be found in the development of problem-solving way out. And human development, only to find the problem from the way out.
My left sat a seat this year, just graduated from Liaoning University of Geosciences young man - named Wu, Xiao Wu, a descendant of immigrants in Tibet after graduation because employment has returned to Tibet. Today is going to apply for work Nagchu Personnel reports. Exactly the way the scenery of this geography to him for advice. Xiao Wu is also rarely encountered a geographical interest in people, the scenery along the way will be Qiangtang grassland geographic, cultural scenery with his right. Time in pleasant conversation over the middle of the fast.
About four hours time, they arrive at a Damxung County, Lhasa, Nagqu direction to turn left, the former line is that wood measures 60KM. Xiao Wu told me, simply do not go there Damxung County shuttle wooden measures, and Xiao Wu is a pleasant enough chat, as well as tourism in Tibet, for me, just hate the lack of time, unfortunately had to miss the in many places. There is no specific scenic is not my visual feast, no one place is missing is not a pity. So I decided at Jinribingfa Nagqu to that known as "Tin City" of the city, to the travels that are placed in the roof of the world should be a wild yak and Tibetan antelope plateau where Mercedes-Benz boat.
Tibetan lakes called for measures, Salt Lake for the "tea cards." River as "Song", Nagqu town lies on the edge Nagqu Nagqu River named, the Chinese language means "black r." means, as to why is known as black r., I at least did not see how Nagqu River water Black.
Spent more than six hours, the vehicles arrive at Nagqu Town, named Wu hurry to go to Personnel pay files, and named Wu sue the other, looking at Xiao Wu, a sportswear, shoulders are carrying pouch, an urban youth fashionable dress , into the middle of the back of the pedestrian, I can not help but think: There is a further in 2032, named Wu body would do such a fashion element? Since then, he will not become a dark suit like a portly Tibetan cadres, or a uniform of a field exploration specialists? He could do well to find a girlfriend? The wild life would not let him lose the ability to communicate with the outside world, he will not regret today's choice?
Xiao Wu is clearly not in line with our today's "promising" young people's standards, and even some honest and wood cassock. But it is these "honest", and diligent, and no more opportunity to choose those who bear the deepest pain in this society to get the exact insignificant remuneration, they are also the backbone of this society.
In addition to Tibetan areas outside Lhasa, and only on strategic plans, Qamdo and Nyingchi and Nagqu is still basically the city has a minimum size and function, other cities, especially the county seat, is basically one or two streets, San Siqian of the population like , the city's service functions of a town than in the Mainland not enough. However, while the Tibetan Nagqu third or fourth-largest city, urban or small-scale surprise, probably thirty or forty thousand people population size, the city's streets named after the mainland aided provinces of Liaoning Road, Zhejiang Province and roads, the highest building is seven storeys above Xinyuan Hotel.
Tourist destination because it is not the reason, the entire city's planning did not take into account the reservations and reflects the Tibetan ethnic characteristics and local characteristics, and so it is a perception shrouded in dust and storm the middle of small border town. But to listen to the local person, even if this is the case, also in 1996, the building of cities and towns around the results of the. Nagqu was previously famous "Tin City", the entire city only a few hundred households in the population, in addition to the regional government is a permanent building, the other houses are almost always done with the tin roof of the temporary buildings, in an absolute winter temperature of minus 36 degrees places, such construction is the first generation of mainland aid-Tibet people have families to protect asylum only to rely on.
The advent of the night quietly, this is situated at an altitude of 4500-4700 m in the border town of Qiangtang grassland gray sleeping in bright moonlight which, (as if there should be the highest in the world cities, but the region of Amdo County, Nagqu The elevation is above all in the 4700 meters, so not sure) I am from where I lived most Xinyuan Nagqu hotel window looked out, sparsely scattered in the boundless light flickering in the darkness, as if a gust of wind can bring them to blow out.
Time, however, the evening's 9:00, the streets is already a little pedestrian. Different Nagqu and Lhasa, where Chinese residents will be the proportion of small and would say that the usual Chinese vocabulary is relatively small, the inconvenience of communication makes the night in this city is full of fear. I always like to fool around at night to stay in the shop night, but seemed to provide sexual services in addition to those places outside the nightlife here is not a city, I dare not walk alone in this strange, alien language in the city. To find that did not know there is no bar deposit.
Hotel room there is a far people are not accustomed to the butter flavor, not that packed the room not clean, and Tibetan painting and paintings have butter inside the paint composition, the newly renovated rooms in the roof and Yam angular position, are with this special paint draw the Tibetan traditional schema. Butter inside is also filled with the smell in the room air. Fortunately, however, this low-quality paint and painting with the mainland in terms of decoration, at least you know that this is at least harmless! Alienating the middle of which you are not aware of the harm to those so-called high-tech.
I can not sleep, not because of altitude sickness, and I am the plateau seems to have no reaction, even though there was standing 6200 meters in height. I realize that I actually still deeply cherish the urban way of life, bars, Internet, Food, and the lovers! I am bound to be the passing of this highland city.
The highest in the world the city's first night, I did not experience the fresh adventures. There are only a kind of idle lonely! Tomorrow, tomorrow, I went to that wooden measures, where there are a lot of tourists waiting for me, your tent will be open to do for me? You make me lonely souls find a home do?
Nagqu, Nagqu (3)
