Such sunny days may not be many, but it is the norm in northern Tibet. The lake is wide and the sky is high, the air is pure, the day is warm and the night is cool. There is pure land in the eyes, and there is sunshine in the heart.
In fact, the Ngari North Line only starts from the Shiquan River in the Ngari area and passes through northern Tibet and the Qiangtang area. Traditionally, the Great Northern Line is the National Highway 317 from Ngari to Nagqu. It mainly passes through several counties and the road conditions are relatively good. In the middle of the parallel between National Highway 317 and National Highway 318, there is a relatively barren area with changing road conditions, where you can see wild animals and more beautiful lakes that make mistakes again and again. The itinerary is more challenging and the scenery is more diverse. Known as the Central North Line. There is no fixed route along the way, generally an old driver is required to take it, and it is often an unnamed road.
Whether you are taking the Great North Line or the Central North Line, donkey friends must know Renduo Township, which belongs to the northern end of Zhongba County and borders Qiangtang No Man’s Land. The altitude is about 4500-5000 meters. The best place to camp for a day. The terrain in the territory is complex and diverse, including the peaks of the Gangdise Mountains, the majesty of the source of the Yajiang River, and the rich grasslands in the north and south. There is a gourd-shaped small fault at the entrance of the township center, which can be regarded as the starting point of ""repeated mistakes".
The center of the township is on a flat dam, scattered with Tibetan dwellings, and a county road 711 passes through it. It is estimated that most of the population of the township is here.
A once-closed village has become a small popular place due to tourism. Due to the sparse population here, most of the villagers live on animal husbandry. Many Tibetans from the Qamdo area have settled in and opened guest houses and restaurants. Before winter comes, this place is still Some lively.
Arriving early in the afternoon, the proprietress of the inn greeted us for tea and took out their dried yak meat, which was a perfect match with butter tea. Ultra-dry beef has high calories. It can be stored for one year in the alpine areas without refrigerators. It is even more effective in the freezing winter.
It was the first time I walked the Ngari North Line. I was a little excited. After drinking the buttered tea, I felt wild. I was wandering in the central street of Renduo Township. I ran into a Tibetan girl, Yixi Zhuoma. She was shy at first, and it was difficult to communicate in Mandarin. , After taking a few photos, the hidden innocence came out, and quietly said "yeah" with one hand.
The cold night is about to enter, and the Tibetans in Renduo Township have a good dinner, wear traditional costumes, gather on the only street, take a walk, greet or talk, and enjoy the most relaxing and warmest moments of the day. The altitude is 4,800 meters. The setting sun elongated their figures, like a section in a movie.
In the northwest of Renduo Township, there is Angla Rencuo, which is a brackish water lake with an area of 560 square kilometers. I did not find the way. To the east is the famous Renqingxiubucuo. In the morning when Renduo set out, there was thick frost on the glass, passing through the uninhabited grassland and turning over a mountain pass. The snow-capped mountains reflected in the morning sun, and the lake water was golden. Renqingxiubucuo looked like a huge The amazing oil painting of Ali Zhongbei Ring Road kicked off again and again.
The sun rises behind the snow-capped mountains, and the golden brilliance sprinkles over the lake. Walk half a circle around the lake along County Road 711, or stop by the water bank, and let the short morning light on the plateau surround you, and your eyes will be pure and warm. Importantly, the car can drive to the middle of the lake.
Next is the interweaving area of Tibetan pastures and wild animal pastures, and there are more and more wild animals. You can pass a hill and look at the Tibetan gazelle.
Passing through a pasture, I ran into a Tibetan girl grazing.
There is a swamp between "Renqing Xiubu Co" and "Zhabu Ye Co", where various gulls and birds are flying and reflected on the water surface, which is very beautiful.
Where is this big bird?
When approaching the Salt Lake, there is an uninhabited grassland, where a large number of old and lovely Tibetan wild donkeys wander here. When approaching, they will raise their big heads and stare at you in a daze.
Zabuye Chaka is located in the Gobi Desert between Renqin Xiubu Co and Taruo Co, covering an area of more than 300 square kilometers, and is one of the three largest lithium salt lakes in the world.
The colorful colors are reminiscent of the many salt lakes in Qinghai. It turns out that lithium was so beautiful before it became a battery.
There is an internet-famous fox in Zabuye Chaka. It is in the isolation zone between the north and the north of the Salt Lake. You wait patiently and take out something to eat. The fox will run out when it smells the scent. I went to store it in different caves, probably because I was going to prepare for the winter. I was alone, and I didn’t know when it would become a sperm.
Finally, from Zabuye Co to the south is Ta Ruo Co, which is not well-known, but there is a viewing platform out of the circle. A rocky mountain protrudes from the shore of the lake. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the blue lake reflected by the white clouds. These beauties are all within the scope of Renduo Township, and it only takes about 3 hours to drive from the center of the township.
