summer

In addition to the endless heat and noisy cicadas

Only watermelon cold drinks and animations written by Hayao Miyazaki can bring refreshment



Sunshine, Breeze, Bugs

Everything becomes just right in his pen



If blue is the most dazzling color in summer

That green is the most comfortable and refreshing color

The sun shines through the gaps in the trees

deep and mysterious



What color is your summer?

It is cool at 15°C with flowing mountains and rivers

It's still the touch of orange when small animals break into the field of vision

if not sure

The solemn red of Qinghai, the railway tracks extending in the water, and the golden color across seasons

It must be your most comfortable color this summer

Chaka Salt Lake

Have a wonderful encounter with your own shadow


In order to save Bailong, Chihiro got the train ticket to the bottom of the swamp from Grandpa Boiler


The water rail station leading to the "bottom of the swamp" where Grandma Qian lived


Do you still remember the scene where Chihiro went to Granny Qian’s residence to save Bailong, that section of railroad tracks that stretched into the water, that water train that only went and never returned, and even the background music on the car was so attractive that it made people unable to hear it? look away;


The filming location of the water track in the play is Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai. With bare feet and shoes, walk along the railway track to the terminal in the middle of the lake. I wonder if there is someone waiting for you on the platform on the other side?


The best time to view Chaka Salt Lake is from July to September. The weather is just right, the lake water is just right, and the clouds in the sky are just right. Everything must be just right to meet "another self".


Wait until everything around is quiet, only the beating sound of your own breathing is left, there is no external disturbance, and only the end of the water surface meets the horizon.



When the sky and the lake are in a line, can the track leading to the future be opened? The stretching telephone poles seem to guide people to the right path;


The little train parked at the wharf station, after the door is opened, will it be Chihiro and the faceless man? The hustle and bustle of the day has faded, and the mottled iron sheets have become more obvious. There are no carriages inlaid with glass.


Jump up, boys! Open a better chapter for your youth

The Chaka Salt Lake under the cover of night has become more peaceful, and people cannot bear to destroy it; when the stars "come", the intertwined colors, the flow of the Milky Way and star trails, are the most charming moments of the Chaka Salt Lake.

Qinghai Lake

15°C summer is the romance of cattle and sheep breaking into sight


I am used to seeing the cattle, sheep and horses in the zoo on weekdays, and then look at the cattle, sheep and horses in Qinghai, and feel what it means to see cattle and sheep when the wind blows and the grass is low in the 15° summer.


The picture comes from Tu Chong: @Zhang Shuoxi


The sky is blue, the lake is blue, and there is a little bit of golden light in the sun, reflecting the figures of people and animals, and time seems to stand still here.


Gesang flowers are blooming, and every eye is full of bonuses; Tibetans say: no matter who you are, as long as you find the eight-petal Gesang flowers, you will find happiness.



Galloping on the "Tongtian" highway, look at the blooming Gesang flowers on both sides and the misty mountain tops.

Kumbum Monastery

A piece of piety, a piece of the past


Kumbum Monastery is "Gunben Xianbalin" in Tibetan, which means Maitreya Temple where one hundred thousand lions roar Buddha statues; it is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism in my country. It has a history of more than 600 years and is popular in China and Southeast Asia. Has a very high religious status.


The picture is from Tu Chong: @eternallyhhh


Flags are fluttering, and the scent of bodhi trees is wafting lightly along the way. From time to time, we meet pious Tibetans kowtowing along the way, and the little lamas in red robes are laughing and playing, and their faces are filled with simple happiness.

The prayer wheel rotates to the right, accompanied by Tibetans chanting scriptures in a low voice, and the bodhi tree on the wall is in full bloom, adding a different kind of warmth to the solemn and solemn place of meditation, and also bringing a coolness to the bottom of the heart; falling under the tree The leaves are carefully picked up and treasured by believers, who firmly believe that they can be blessed and protected by the Buddha.

Ghee flower is not a flower, it is the art name of handmade oil sculpture in Tibetan Buddhist art


Butter flowers, murals, and pile embroidery in the temple are known as "three wonders in the temple". They are made of butter and various pigments, and are carved into various Buddha statues, figures, flowers, birds, animals, and pavilions; "Buddhist group mat", lamas meditate inside and chant scriptures, or secretly lean against the pillars for a while...


If you have time, go and listen to a sutra debate! Even if you don't understand the content, you will definitely be attracted and shocked by the exaggerated movements and excited emotions.


Notes about Kumbum Monastery:

1. Since the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong at high altitudes, please carry sunscreen with you

2. No shorts or skirts are allowed to enter the temple

3. When crossing the threshold, you must step over it, and when you turn the prayer wheel, you must turn it clockwise with your right hand

Menyuan Rapeseed Flowers

The golden sea across the seasons


According to common sense, rape blossoms bloom in spring (that is, from March to April), but rape blossoms in Qinghai span a season and choose to bloom in summer. It is a mighty stretch of mountains, such as the magnificence of the Northwest Plateau.


Rapeseed said: I have won one more flower viewing period for you


Qinghai in summer belongs to Menyuan! Golden cauliflower flowers are scattered on both sides of the road, and the glacial valleys are given a touch of gold; from the emerald green light yellow in early July to the middle of July, they converge into a golden ocean that stretches for thousands of miles, majestic and magnificent.


When the drizzle has just stopped and water drops are still hanging on the petals, it is the best time to shoot; changing into a white dress and running around the flowers, with the blue sky and golden sea of ​​flowers as the background, it is like stepping out of a cartoon.


The picture of houses, glaciers, lakes, white clouds and sea of ​​flowers is like a landscape oil painting; walking in it, the air is full of freedom.

Dunhuang

One sand one world, one city one Buddha country


According to legend, the goddess sprinkled a handful of incense burner ash to the world, and it became Mingsha Mountain.


Dunhuang, when you first hear this mythical name, there will always be a picture of flying apsaras and ancient buildings in front of you; Quicksand Gobi, mysterious and charming.


Walking into Dunhuang with camel bells, there is no yellow sand in the sky as imagined, but a bit more exotic atmosphere; when you see the ancient buildings and Crescent Spring in front of you after crossing the hills, you even suspect it is a mirage.


The picture is from Tuworm: @LambOfxX


The world in the desert is always inseparable from dryness; the dead trees in Mingsha Mountain blow up sand, making the pavilion more like Loulan that has disappeared, leading people into a thousand-year history step by step.


Before the mural painting, dance a song of flying to the sky, cover your face with a bead curtain, hold a phoenix-headed harp, and play a piece of heavenly music; everything depends on origin and ends, and in front of the world, all that remains is memories...


The picture comes from Tu Chong: @苏G技术车团


Crescent Moon Spring and Mingsha Mountain are twin sisters in the desert. Because of the growth of eye grass and charophyta plants in the circle, there are dense reeds on the south bank, which have not been buried by yellow sand for many years. It has also become one of the three miracles in the south of Dunhuang.


Many people know Dunhuang only from the prophet Mogao Grottoes. Although the Mogao Grottoes have not been damaged in any way, they are still the greatest treasure house of Buddhist art in the world today.


The top of the cave is surrounded by paintings of gods and Buddhas in the sky, flying Apsaras, Jiyue and Buddhist patterns.


Follow the guide to the cave through a path that only accommodates one person. The guide carries the key with him. Every time he arrives at a cave, he unlocks and closes it himself; and those cave doors are the keys to the gathering of Buddhas thousands of years ago...


The reclining Buddha lying on the side closes its eyes slightly, and there is a magical power in the dark to calm you down. It seems that the reclining Buddha will get up in the next second and say "Amitabha Buddha" lightly;


Those vividly carved stone statues and the flying sky painted on the wall seem to fly out of the murals in the next second, fly away from the stone statues, dance a piece of Dunhuang Feitian music in front of you, and compose a half wall song.


The picture is from mfw: @魔法哪哭


When the sun began to sink into the desert, and then rode away on a camel, Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Lake were covered with Buddha light, and my heart was full of admiration and reluctance.



This summer, no goodbye

We meet a better self in Qinghai

?

everyone, happy graduation

(Ben Qi is going to eat watermelon)
