August 9:

Aircraft at 12 o'clock for a long time to Da Gongga airport. Finally got off the plane. Heart Zhi Han: "Tibet! I can finally put your arms!." Thought the plane would pick up a couple of partners. Results down the machine, or one person alone, how can I do? Was a little anxious. Fortunately, one will be able to ride to the airport to Lhasa city car. The car is pleasantly surprised to encounter-ling, and two girls in Hong Kong. Well, regardless, and would follow them, behind the trip finally become available, and finally put down the stone heart. The way to Lhasa had been walking along the river, the plateau of the river were very eager and swirl appearing everywhere. A kind of water on the ground Pentium feeling. 2 hours after the car has finally come to a "sun city" of Lhasa City. We went straight to Asia hotels, to Tibet before the Asia-Ling learned Lhasa Hotel is the most famous hotels, where most backpackers. Together most easily. Although not Paodetaikuai arrived plateau, but I, and Ling backs Yasumichi go fast. Hong Kong 2 girls are far behind. Go to the Yak Hotel, the only then go to 160 yuan a double room. For me this is indeed the poor donkey is not cheap. Ling and I thought exactly the same, so the two of us choose to stay in a hotel not far from auspicious Asia hotels, (25 yuan per day,) and the two girls in Hong Kong due to altitude sickness and to stay in Asia Hotel. This time, almost all of the hotels are filled by backpackers, Lhasa, Beijing East Road, mostly Tibetan hotel. After moving. We take a nap for a while in the evening, they enthusiastically visited the street was, and the Jokhang Temple. Although the evening was still feeling the sun shining behind the red-hot, until completely black days down, it is already at 9 o'clock, and I finally understand why Tibet is called "Solar City."

August 9

After dinner is around 11 pm, so, and Ling stickers recruit ready to go Nyingchi saw posted there is a board foot Medog expired stickers, a walk I was in high spirits that I personally very much longing for adventure, stimulating. And Ling, one that views coincide. So the board will soon posted to the addition of a one Nyingchi, and walk Medog night in tents news. Standing Bangbian of a Laolv immediately discover our news keeps complimenting our brave heroes. Spoken in a bit ironic smell, I-Ling understand the meaning of his words outside. An understanding of, the original black off relatively barren, wetlands are more a leech and snake infestation, the more dangerous in tents. Most of the people on foot to the old Tibet. To have some experience. Ling phase, as I hear laughter. Have a good feel childish. Bitter! I'm not afraid, and danger! I am not worried, but they are things of the leech was scared to death. Then finally we see the proposal adopted Laolv's ready to participate in horse racing festival Nagqu.

August 10

Early in the morning, and Xiao Xu (Xiao Xu is a young man in Chengdu, Sichuan, businessmen. Also lived in the auspicious hotels, she says, she Sichuan University The Young and Ling are able to talk), Ling Xiao Lu then went to the Potala Palace. Yamin they happen to contact me, so we are ready to go with the Potala Palace Square, Round, "Pathfinder" rent tents, in the "Pathfinder" I chose the value of 280 sleeping bags. (Suggest that you do not use Pathfinder, poor quality) and rented a tent with a few people, (a tent 30 yuan a day rent. If you are not afraid of a heavy-line arguments, then, it is best to buy from the tents, and do not buy in Lhasa . in general more than 200 yuan in Guangzhou will be able to buy double of the) evening to visit me and ling End Tibet after the museum bought our tickets a few people to Nagqu (53 yuan each, very cheap). Auspicious night stay hotels,) (auspicious bathing conditions for a better hotel. There is more than triple rooms, and rooms.)

August 11

Am to 8:30 pm starting Nagqu, a pedestrians-ling (Ling, Guangzhou, a coffee dealer, very smart and capable, knowledge, and society are very experienced and can speak fluent English. Xiao Lu (later found out he called Lucon wild, is a Mongolian, is St. Petersburg university film and photography professionals, is a favorite streaker's "crazy"), Ya-Min, sub-Court, (the two little girls from Guangzhou.) Small Xu (Sichuan businessman). There Xiao Cai and his female companion to sit another car trip.

A good way to go all the way are the cement road, Nagqu area is only president of grass, whether it is mountain or plain, you definitely can not see a tree. Nagqu grassland is not very wide, mountains are more common. Near the snow-capped mountains when read Tanggula. At that time very excited, the murder of a lot of film. Along the way to see catch on the railway project is carried out. Look busy workers, my heart surging: I should be happy because Tibet soon be able to pass the train, and the western region development project can proceed smoothly. We humans also conquered the harsh climate and topography of the plateau. But we have a drum sorrow rise in my heart. Beautiful grassland had been destroyed. The last beginning to stir and the Pure Land.

1 point for a long time we arrived at the station, and Xiao Cai Nagqu them round. Station, there are more than 500 meters away from the racetrack about carrying a heavy backpack with the plateau pressure (elevation 4,500 meters), which is more than 500 meters of the road seem to have taken more than 5000 meters, stopping several times along the way, every step is seems to change, but angry. Tent into the Tibetan way Henlan were found, probably because these days wet bar! To participate in horse racing festival a lot of people. Not the right approach, that should have been riding too pulpy. In Tibet, rarely see a toilet, the Tibetan people were defecating and urinating. Walking along the street had accidentally stepped on the possibility of human waste. Tibetan tent parks everywhere, and Ren Fen Chong denounced the mixed smell of horse manure. Days! This is what I imagined Nagqu horse section? We had to change in the Tibetan tent area next to the tent of the plans, environmental bad. After discussing with several people we have to target on the hillside opposite the racecourse. There can saw racetrack situation, not far from where there are herders tents. But also away from the smell of feces. Huaizhe disappointed heart, carrying a heavy line of arguments continued on our way to the hillside to go through a swamp, marsh bumps and hollows, every step, believe it is possible trouble. When everyone wading through a swamp until the child turned into mud.

Inquire into the horse-racing at 14:30, so we should first improtance tent, settled things were to go. Results oro-altitude sickness a lot and look left tents. Xiao Xu is also a reaction to the stream of the nosebleed, and headache. But still supports Come with us, in fact, the first time I have terrible pain, but thought we went all the way, call the Mountain wade with difficulty here is that in order to see the horse-racing style. How can we not? Into the racecourse, activity has begun, but it is disappointing because there is no horse racing, only song and dance performances, the stage is too low, and people inside tiers crowded around the stage, in which case the camera bag hanging Xiao Xu The thermos was soon stolen. So we shot a few photos, left the racecourse.

Weather still early, I heard that butter tea is the Tibetan characteristics of tea, so tea into a tent. Called on the pot of butter tea (8 million) enjoy together, drink first mouth feel, and with a burst of salty butter flavor. Really, not too used to this taste, thirst and exhaustion, but had to drink slowly, strange, but Yuehe Yue has flavor. Drinking tea in the teahouse herders who looked at us with great interest, rest rooms, to see a Tibetan young man sitting opposite me are holding knives to cut small piece of something small to eat the meat with relish. That seems like something in the human goods must Goods. Curiosity made me want to know what reminders. And generated the impulse would also like to try. So gesture that guy holding the piece of meat called over Let me see. Was originally cooked beef. But like I have nothing to boast about beef. Out of the teahouse. We cried stomach cooing. So I suggest looking for restaurants for dinner between the tents. Dinner is simple and rich. Each of us is called a bowl of shawo beef, the shop owner Qinghai, very thick mound two brothers. That I still have a dinner food for thought. From that meal since I know the taste of beef. Is to understand the young have to eat beef with relish. Xiao Lu is also a result of taking into account the lying in tents, Ling and Xiao Xu, Yamin after eating to help bring a shawo oro-burning tent at the first back.

I and sub-Yuan is responsible for purchasing materials for lighting fires. (Our tent at no lights) Tibet is full of grasslands, deserts, small tree. Fuel can only be mainly based on cow dung. So we spent 10 yuan to the tent restaurant owner bought a half bag of dried cow dung and very fortunate to be able to buy half of the bags of charcoal. And the Court, both struggling to carry the heavy bag full of more than 30 of the faeces, due to high altitude terrain, we are struggling to stop-go. It took nearly an hour before returning to the tent Office. Tired one fell on the tent.

Pre-existence in the dark in order to catch a good fire, and Xiao Cai they consciously starts to get busy. Picking up rocks, looking for fire cited, light a fire. . . . . . Ran finally started the fire party啦! So we have come up with prepared fruits, food. Chattering away around the fire Shuiyuexiaoxiao, Ling has also contributed to her moisture-proof pad. Only Xiao Lu is still not out of pain, brought back to eat dinner have no appetite for a cold on one side. Shen Jin-excited when we, the slopes there are sounded Lei, twinkling of an eye it becomes squally showers headed toward us. Poor pile of cow dung and charcoal burning have not had time himself. Was extinguished. The worst thing for me and ling's tent. (We are the first tent), did not nail a good wind rope. Tent with the wind Yao Yaoyu down, I wore velvet suits, not anti-wind and rain. Had ran into the tent and the top of the head with his hand desperately try to keep the wind tents, it's blown away, and Xiao Cai Ling, braving wind and rain that hit a nail on the outside, looking for stones. Fortunately, Xiao Cai field experience. Finally help us to tent truss. Ling's Jackets had been soaked. Did not fire, surrounded by dark again, the storm beat the tents, issued rustle. Yamin they already drilling their tents so scared afraid to voice. Lying beside the ling, quickly falling asleep, and grunt. Only I did not feel safe to sleep over and over again, happens when they feel anxious inside. Voice calls with the outside wind noise and severely beat the wind, the sound tent, with a total, as is a mighty force to me descend quickly. Also suspected bandits are surrounded by us. Emancipated find that tents had been flooded at the end of his hand first touch the sky! Damp, wet sleeping bags are also part of the heart can not help but Zhima damned bad "Pathfinder." . . . . . . Finally, I do not know when the rain stopped, and urine which Jia! Ling had to wake up with me relieve themselves. Stuck your head out a look, after the rain the sky filled with twinkling stars, away from us so close, never seen such a bright star, just like fireworks in full bloom, bloom a smile to us. . . . . . .

August 12,

11:00 Multi-before we all get up. Go to the racetrack, still no horse shows, only to hold stone game Kanliaoyikuai left. This is a very weak day, Xiao Lu, and Xiao Xu. Altitude sickness continues to haunt them. Simply no reasonable effort to line out from the tent at the station, after discussion we decided to rent a sport utility vehicle to help them pull line arguments. I Yamin, sub-Yuan walk out the station, Xiao Cai and his female companion that is a long line of reasons out of their backs, and (as they passed before Ali, Nyingchi and other places, physical and spiritual was good. And Nagqu of OK it is in Tibet the first stop, comparison difficult).

14:00 o'clock when we finally brought together in Nagqu station, because the hour is late, in the Nagqu station could not be reached to Namco's car. Go from here? We had differences of opinion exist. Ling and I would like to go straight to Namco. (No matter how late the sky), and Xiao Xu Xiao Lu because of the spirit of good, want to return to Lhasa rest. Yamin, sub-two of the Utah Court shift variable. After deliberation, finally we have two-pronged, Xiao Xu, Xiao Lu, Xiao Cai them back to Lhasa. (I can not help but mutter thousand hearts: Which man; lost to Jin-guo!) I, and Ling, Yamin, sub-Yuan four girls spent 200 yuan car rental to the Damxung in when the male driver of enthusiastic help we spent 350 yuan Contacts Namco to go on the taxi (very cheap, off-road vehicle before the Mix packets to 1,000 yuan).

Way to the Nam Co Henlan, the former much dust halfway. We have to take off his jacket surround the head. (Debris-resistant, anti-ultraviolet radiation.) All along bumpy, cars often get us thrown Lao Gao. We secretly believe that the drivers are "playing" car life. In addition to this road off-road vehicles, other vehicles are also not even be able to walk long life. As expected, the car left the road about one third will be bad in a small steep slopes. May be gone too fast, too hot. Then Ya-ling attached to my ear whispered: "It seems that we have to find another car," I can not help a bit anxious to see 4 weeks. Is full of barren hills and streams, along the way in addition to our car, saw a total of only two cars through. We Shangna Zhao car? Car stopped at the roadside, I know nothing about cars. Simply irresponsible shot went off. Only Ya-ling (she understand the car) and drivers to discuss how to repair. Fortunately, our driver is watering, but also to launch, but also a step backwards, fool for a long time can finally resumed.

Just as I was sleepy, our car was a simple ticket office has been stopped, and we each bought a ticket worth 40 yuan. Ticketing staff to give us a green bag, the original Namco scenic area is to have access to spiritual and environmental hygiene practices. True indeed the holy lakes. / Then tales of a group of hat and clothes, and dirty rotten kids surrounded our car request candy. Arguments on the line because we could not train after the candy given to kids! Results There are several kids that we intend to open a rear compartment to find candy. Because they can not find what they want, and some children bad for polar to our car throwing stones. Fortunately, we have the procedures in time after finishing the ticket. And in a timely manner them far behind. Otherwise, we will certainly be the food that they looted. Having said that, I can not help to criticize some of the Mix before, they like to put some candy, pencils, etc. given to kids! The starting point is good, that is a poor west and make a little assistance, not knowing Querang these children develop a bad habit of doing nothing. (Just now, batches of children throughout the day stopped on the coach ask for something guarding junctions.)

Probably after a one and a half minutes, the car was climbing a steep slope, we finally saw a dark blue far highland lakes, we are excited to speculate on the front of the Nam Co, with the car traveling in front of more and more open, followed by the emergence of a large grassland, groups of sheep grazing freely in. Voles from time to time from the hole fast to jump into another hole. Unusual sky blue, and a few eagles hovering in the air, from time to time to issue several more dive the lake is called. Sparse distance of several top-herders tents, and we suddenly active again. Wiped out all of the drowsiness, the car continued to jolt the move go through. In front of more and more are endless, and our eyes it is very hard to search Namco representative couples stone. Soon we disappointed, the car more going forward Yuekan ends.
