Nagqu, Nagqu (b)
Early morning sun is like without shelter stopped the transmission into my window, I finally gave up trying to deep sleep a night attempts. A thick quilt to sleep early, when some of overheating, but sleep on the cold night, when some uncomfortable, but also do not want them to find ways, it is so lazy and cold in the process of confrontation ushered in the dawn of the first wiping the sun. A ghost! Here there are as many average daily temperature 15-20 degrees Celsius so much.
That tongue-dry, it is no wonder that, where the oxygen content is only 50% -60% of Chengdu Plain, the average humidity during the dry season is almost zero. And Nagqu is a land of water, annual precipitation, but only a few dozen to 100 mm. Dependent on the formation of the plateau snowmelt rivers and wetlands were maintained for the life of this plateau the minimum conditions for survival.
When the face, nasal dry to death, have been recovered for many years nasal broken old trouble again committed, blood nose, surging stream, with a lot of cotton yarn only then the blood stopped. Chong himself a cup of Lipton tea, would like to add moisture, I feel the water temperature problem. Let attendants specifically for a bottle of just filling the water, but also win Tun as before, combined with yesterday's night of sleep at night and this morning nosebleed, all the anger suddenly exploded on the floor of their attendant large light a fire.
Rush checkout. In Liaoning Province found a way to open a small restaurant Sichuanese. Let the boss gave me cook a bowl of beef noodles. To see the boss put his head in the fire all of the pressure cooker, understood why. The original atmospheric pressure here is only 0.56 atm! Water temperature in the absence of pressure containers are heated, at about 70 degrees water is boiling, so of course, you will never soak a cup of tea with the Chengdu, the same fragrance! Their hearts can not help but regret their temerity big.
I was good at forgiving themselves, but just right Xinyuan hotel attendant misunderstandings and offending was a bit embarrassed to forgive himself. I have always prides itself on being a Hiromi miscellaneous learning who may be nosebleeds streaming down bar with my intelligence, but still no response came here, only atmospheric pressure is only 560 millimeters of mercury, but also blamed on others, it will not demeanor. Change your perspective or just to leave the hotel are also some distance, and just in our time of a dispute that she was right and I do not speak politely (more rugged and morals in Tibetan areas, services, personnel, professional standards and the Mainland have relatively large difference, so as to walk people, should understand and accept the status quo) might consider an apology to the Road, a bar made too much to do!
Used cars called a rickshaw, after breakfast so he sent me to the station, three pulling me You Xiang Yuan Hotel in the direction of the letter went, I think God would like me to apologize to their own bold bar, so I let three on the master When I look slightly, on the seventh floor, the floor could not find the attendant, to the total station asked the next, not knowing gone, I can not help but sense of loss. I will never have a chance to restore my mistakes and temerity of the.
To ask a moment at the station frequency, just have a car starting, and then the one just beginning Hou classes, where the frequency is not a fixed time, but to wait until a car full of people only after starting to see the empty cars, I decided to try his luck on the road, hoping to intercept the from Xi'an, Chengdu and Golmud over the bus.
The road edge of the plateau significant special early morning silence, as if not completely awake from the night, while the rising sun is already expansive, hot thermal radiation with its own light, the plateau is transparent and clear space You seem to be able to understand this was shrouded the middle of several things in one, two, three light, though oblique morning sun, but shining directly on the bare skin has been baked, or there is a heat. Feel warm, but it also felt the sun is in line with the body of which you want to take away from your more moisture.
The Qinghai-Tibet road vehicles, the morning low, long time to get a car passed, get up early Tibetan knight riding big motorcycles, roaring from time to time from the side and disappeared in the far road or scattered deep into the grasslands, yaks group leisurely from the road side of the pasture into the road side of the pasture, when passing a car and was startled into the Yak will be quick to avoid the roadside grass. Furthermore, there is also scattered in the grassland with children Kuangpao Huan.
I have been to West Sichuan Grassland, Inner Mongolia steppe, from the literary works which are nothing more than an impression of grassland: the green and wild and fog, wind and grass see the sheep's imagination, where the grasslands are grasslands with my previous Jian Zhao is not similar.
60 kilometers out of Lhasa, board Tanggula started, it should be that the scope of the Qiangtang prairie, in the Tanggula range, until out of the land within 40 kilometers Damxung County, Qiangtang grasslands has been a rich network of rivers and wetlands, water associated, water-rich grassland has shown an oily green, is particularly lush, where the elevation from 3,800 meters to 4,500 meters successive rise, grasslands grazing cattle and sheep can be seen everywhere, people have thought that a lush, rich, vitality, by plants door to such a term.
When hung out after 40 kilometers, 4,500 meters above sea level on all the above, till the highest point of the Qinghai-Tibet line, 5,300 meters Tanggula pass. Gradually along the road to meet again the larger streams and dense water network, and the color of grassland is no longer the kind of oily green, but a little greenish yellow with yellow-green. Down the road, standing on the grasslands It is sand stone Shuo squish, foot down, smoke up on the risk, it appears as though the ground had been dry smoke in!
From a distance, the grass is spreading on the ground appears to blanket the grass, near look relatively sparse, September is the last of the hot season Nagqu should also be the most lush pasture a long season. By October, Nagqu grassland began to snow, grass began to wither. The friend came back from Lhasa in November, he told me that Tanggula mountain road had already been covered by snow. Thanks to the daily traffic on the roads of snow bulldozer to eradicate. The Nagqu prairie has long been the world into ice and snow. Grasslands, snow has been spreading the Zhetiangaidi. Plateau at this time is the real area of snow, snow kingdom.
Yet even the most lush pasture season in September, where the grass is nothing but sparse, shallow layer. Grass height of no more than 7CM. Tillering plants little one on top is usually only three or four leaves, grass Carex Formation mainly the Qinghai-Tibet, the small pole grass formations, lobular Oxytropis Formation, northern Tibet pole grass formations, red grass group Department and other varieties. Pasture growing season is May to October each year. Therefore, northern Tibet for those of us who look at Western King speaking, may be able to reap the sublime, the male broad, desolate, dangerous. This aesthetic experience. Might be singular here, the national customs and scenery of the magnificent snow-covered intoxicated, but he was born and bred in the people, God is too mean to him gave. The exchange of such limited resources, it will also be too blame.
I have been with the Inner Mongolia grassland and grassland compared to western Sichuan, where the pastures of the growth cycle the shortest, generally May to October each year, Kawanishi grassland pasture growing season is March to November, the shortest period of natural grazing : In early November every year, Nagqu grassland pastures will be snow covered until the ice and snow melt in April next year. In this long season, need to fully use the savings in the prairie grass to grow where to captive breeding livestock.
The Western Sichuan natural grassland grazing can be guaranteed for at least 11 months of the end of each year and, even in the closing hillsides to facilitate period, the grasslands of the snow is not thick, and livestock can be grazed in the grasslands to the snow surface under the hay, only need to add very little forage and feed.
Here is far below the carrying capacity of pasture breeding prairie western Sichuan, where a yak is said to require more than ten mu of grassland, a goat, or Tibetan sheep require more than four acres of pasture to ensure they have enough grass to keep. Therefore, although the vast grasslands of northern Tibet, and it is also a barren and desolate, he was so stingy charity of mankind should never have set foot here? Or must they be set up such a harsh place to maintain the sanctity of the snow?
The Qinghai-Tibet Road, the morning a bit obvious losing their leaves and waited a full half an hour, and did not see a shuttle bus to Lhasa, I can take to try to ride that when hung, in accordance with international practice, whenever a car over time, I tilt the driver can give a thumbs request for convenience, a pity that the vast majority of the morning on the road by trucks and local long-distance running transport vehicles. In addition to full harvest of gasoline outside of the nose, without a car ready for me even if it is slow to ask me where to kick the oil!
In my experience in the middle of a lift, I think the most is that someone else is willing to Beijing, Mix, and then followed by Guangdong and Chengdu Mix. As in Shanghai, one of the cars came Zijia little opportunity to meet and then, as if they are not the kind of on the road more open-minded attitude type. In my very personal experience, the spirit of the country's most tourist city is Beijing, Guangdong, Chengdu and Shanghai. As for other parts of the Brigade of Friends, as if the movement is more with the group a little more.
I wish I could encounter a car coming from Chengdu ah, in the middle of my experience, I stopped the car in Chengdu disappointed when very few, or whether you Beijing. Roadside wearing a uniform of military training of the young man looked at me riding a bicycle hailed by show of hands, and then swept back over the body to avoid the dust, and then to lay down their arms frustrating endless self-deprecating look, and laughed.
Boy black skin, matted hair, wearing a pair of shoes under their feet, a standard of the young Tibetan Mo Yang, but his smile was warm I am familiar with and touched by the kind of smile that I was impressed by kinds of smile, I had the cocktail party, universities, night-club, read countless times this bright and confident smile. It and Tibetan boy or a shy smile, or honest not the same. See this smile, as if a kind of Robinson, with great difficulty Jian Zhao a civilized people like surprises and being happy.
The junior boys in West Beigong students from Xi'an by train to Golmud then, bought a 260 money, the most common light bike lasted 13 days Tanggula pass through the altitude of 5,300 meters and 400 kilometers in northern Tibet No area riding them there. Xiao Tang (I can not be determined) reach out to shake hands with me, his hand has been completely split from Chen a, and the lips off the skin completely off, it is obvious symptoms of vitamin C deficiency. Xiao Tang asked my destination, I have engagements that he and I go with wood measures, Xiao Tang told me to school soon, and he had no time and no more money to those measures of the wood. He plans up to go directly to Lhasa, and then sell bicycle ride back to Xi'an Great bar.
I asked Xiaotang there is a need to help place? Xiaotang Thank you my good intentions, he told me that he came from Xi'an, when there are 1500 found the money spent to get rid of 260 yuan to buy a bike outside the 600 left, he went Nagqu enough he bought a return to Xi'an meal ticket, and on the road. Xiao Tang had never Mai Menpiao into the area, I put my camera pictures show him to look at, and asked Xiao Tang regret? Xiao Tang said: Unfortunately, ah, he did not even have a camera, but compared with his classmates, he was the only person who has been to Tibet, and almost finished with the rickshaw measuring the entire Qinghai-Tibet Highway, so he also felt very happy.
I always respect people who have mobility, but respect for Xiao Tang is simply more than just admiration of the. In fact, the achievements of the same things, conditions are always relative, there is persistence and mobility, many impossible things are at the foot of the brave to become a reality.
Assigned to some of my carry-Xiao Tang Li-carotene and vitamin A capsules, told Xiao Tang attention to his own vitamin deficiency symptoms, Xiao Tang naturally accepted my good intentions. I think that can be self-confident and magnanimous acceptance of other people's good will and help is a kind of self-respect is more precious than the personality, I am like a mirror shine then that emotional side Qiu, warm and hearty young I am.
Parked on the roadside outside the hotel two fully loaded trucks, I want to go to Lhasa to see if they are not the direction, waving goodbye to Xiao Tang, I found the driver in the hotel for dinner. A further inquiries, it really is to Lhasa. I took out two years from his backpack, "Dannemann" machine-made cigars, asked the two drivers are to smoke, and then I asked him to be able to take along to the Damxung County intersection. Drivers, so I agreed readily, ha ha, it seems a good luck today!
However, when the car, there are still things to me a little accident, the driver told me the money to the 30 travel, looking at him like a top university expression, I could not believe him and it was quite an enjoyable talk of the driver is the same person, not to mention that my cigars are the value of RMB 40 each! Think also relieved, and on the road since there is very Huan Xiao Tang meet as friends, of course, there are bottom-secular, of course, it is to walk part of life.
Since the difficult things in the world actually less than satisfactory, then let us always a brighter side of life, as long as the light bar of our trip! ! !
