holy mountain lake
7DAY Today is the seventh day of travel, we approach Sichuan from the edge of Qinghai Province. Golmud --- Maqin (Donggicuona Lake and Animaqing Mountain along the way) 580 kilometers (overnight in Guoluo Town). Today is considered to have really entered the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. When we climbed the rubber mountain, we were still excited Singing Tengger's "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", and then crossing the Donggla Co Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,500 meters, I began to have altitude sickness, dizzy, ears buzzing, breathing became a little urgent and tight, and the joy just now Jin disappeared instantly.
We walked along the highway and bid farewell to Dongglacuo Mountain. I saw a glimpse of blue waves flickering in front of my eyes from a distance
. We were excitedly looking for the entrance to Bibo... There is no formal entrance here, so we finally found a place without fences, and drove the car straight to the lake without hesitation. It turns out that this is the Donggicuona Lake surrounded by mountains in the faulted basin between Buqing Mountain and Burhan Buda Mountain in Maduo County. Donggecuona Lake belongs to the source area of the Yellow River. The water of the lake comes from the Animaqing Mountain. Its "birth" is so noble that it is a rare large freshwater lake on the plateau.
, so there is also the saying of the holy lake, which is an excellent place to cleanse the soul. It is lucky to be able to see the lake on the plateau, let alone such a large freshwater lake.
Donggeicuona Lake is beautiful, clear, quiet and holy. The open lake surface is quiet and serene. The breeze blows, and the lake surface has ripples. It shows beautiful waves in the afternoon sun, and the mind is rippling with the waves. Come on, the beauty in the world is nothing more than this, don't worry about trivial matters anymore
.
After running around for half a day, everyone exhausted a lot of energy, we started the most sacred lunch in our life on the edge of the holy lake
.
After resting and relaxing, continue down the mountain along the way. After several continuous snow-capped mountains, a high mountain peak appears in front of the right, which is the famous Animaqing Mountain
, which means strong ancestors in Tibetan. The Tibetan people call Animaqing "Bokawa Jiangong", and it is the holy place of the ancient Yongzhongben religion in Tibet. That is to say, one of the nine gods who created the world, ranked fourth among the 21 gods and snow mountains believed by the Tibetan people. Tibetan savior.
On the way down the mountain in Maqin County, the weather was clear and cloudy just now, and then a few tiny raindrops appeared on the windshield. In the blink of an eye, the raindrops turned into small white flowers. The snowflakes on the snow, the grass on both sides of the road outside the window has been covered with snow, the snow is white, and it looks like a northern scenery
. We who live in the south have never seen such a beautiful scenery. When we were repeatedly claiming to be amazed, hailstones the size of pigeon eggs had already hit us, and the sound of crackling hailstones was heard everywhere on the car...
The road became extremely difficult and slippery, and the off-road vehicle was switched to snow mode. With great difficulty, we finally arrived at Maqin County in Guoluo Prefecture step by step. This is a small county full of Tibetan characteristics. Regardless of its small size, it is also the capital of the Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. As soon as we opened the car door, we were blown by the howling snow and wind and we quickly hid in the hotel.
The hotel I stayed in that night was full of strong Tibetan colors. Although there was no air-conditioning, an oil nail in each room could be properly heated. In addition to the fragrant dairy products, there is also delicious braised mutton. In the nearby farmer's market, we happily purchased a lot of potato vermicelli...
