Self-driving is a dialogue between oneself and the soul, and the bridge of this dialogue is the car and the road. Mountaineering is a process of accepting and being accepted, and the bond of this process is breathing and altitude. Photography is an expression of emotion, and the medium of expression is the camera and imaging. On the way of self-driving and mountaineering, what we appreciate is not only the beautiful scenery left behind, but also the thoughts brought to us by the rugged, bumpy, thoroughfare, or smooth roads leading to the unknown. I often think that what your heart looks like is what the world you see is like. Some people like entertainment, some people like leisure, but I always like to throw myself into an environment that needs to constantly overcome resistance and challenge myself. .
To travel is to go to different places, meet other different selves at one corner after another, and then bring them back to achieve a new self and continue to live the previous life. In fact, there is not much reason to choose Xinjiang. Maybe it's just for the fragrant melons and fruits, maybe it's just for the tempting barbecue, maybe it's just for the vast land, maybe it's just for the rolling snow-capped mountains, maybe...any reason is enough for us to embark on a journey. I never thought that I could go to Xinjiang easily. In my heart, it is a remote and sacred place. If I set off casually, it must be a kind of blasphemy. But the moment I packed my bags, I knew that there was no need to prepare, and every moment was the best time to start.
I have walked many roads and crossed many mountains, but there are very few that can be called beautiful, but the China-Pakistan Friendship Snow Mountain Road can definitely be called beautiful. Along the way is the towering Danxia Mountain, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance stand tall in the rain and fog. The China-Pakistan Friendship Road, also known as the Karakoram Highway, is known as the highest and most beautiful highway in the world. The lowest altitude of the entire highway in China is 1,154 meters, and the highest altitude is 4,733 meters. It is rated as one of the "Top Ten Dangerous Highways in the World". There are not only the most beautiful roads here, but also mountains and snow peaks waiting to be climbed. Every step is an exploration and a discovery.
Professional explorers and outdoor enthusiasts who dare to get involved in nature can always deeply feel the beating pulse of nature in the vast world, and fully experience the passion and fun that outdoor adventures bring us. In high-altitude no-man's land, signals can be said to be a very rare luxury. Roads and directions can often only rely on street signs and paper maps, but altitude, azimuth, atmospheric pressure, and temperature/humidity must rely on other equipment.
Barometer, compass, thermometer, altimeter, charger? No, no, no, when you carry all of these with you, your long journey must become very heavy, and the already difficult journey will become more and more cumbersome. But if you have a fully functional mountaineering watch, then all this will be easier. Although the journey is difficult, wearing it will make your progress and climbing steps firm and powerful, and your belief and direction will not be lost.
Just like successful people regard a top-notch car as a symbol of their status, sports enthusiasts regard a pair of comfortable running shoes as their partner, and photographers regard a valuable camera as a professional symbol, a piece suitable for crossing Watches for mountains, seas, and self-driving travel also demonstrate the taste and temperament of those explorers who are brave enough to challenge. Just like today's mobile phones not only have the function of making calls, watches are not just as simple as displaying the time. On the way of exploration and travel, we often don't care about the time, and we don't need the speed of time. What we want is direction guidance, accurate data and reliable support. Maybe we will think of a series of professional equipment, like those mentioned above, but for boarding or exploring, any extra items will become a burden, even a small battery. It has solar function and six-station radio function to give us enough confidence to move forward, and its super battery life is enough to allow us to continue to obtain the data support we want.
Under its guidance, with the crisp sound of the pointer and the sound of the wind, after bypassing several mountains, the winding road suddenly becomes clear here. The white and delicate sand hills stand in the blue sky and clear water, which makes people have to admire the uncanny craftsmanship of nature to create such a dreamlike and strange landscape.
In fact, it is because a large amount of white sand washed down from the mountain is deposited on the bottom of the lake. It is precisely here that there is a huge air vent. Whenever the bottom of the lake is exposed in the dry season and the wind is raging, a large amount of white sand is blown up the hill, which naturally forms this unique white sand. Mountain. On the Pamirs, the lakes are moving, but the towering mountains are also fascinating. Muztagh Peak, Gongger Peak and Gongger Jiubie Peak, the three mountains towering like jade pillars, are the most charming landscapes on the Pamirs.
In the east of the Pamir Plateau, whose geological history can be traced back to the Ordovician period 400-500 million years ago, stands a majestic giant peak, which is "Mustagh Peak". Although Muztag is often covered by clouds and snow in winter, he may not be able to see his true face, but this will not weaken his majesty. When you come to the shore of Karakul Lake and look at Muztagh covered in clouds and mist, the cold on the Pamirs seems to freeze the cloud and mist falling on Muztagh Peak. The dark brown mountains are exposed at the snow line, and the dark peaks stand among the ice and snow, which are extremely firm.
Standing on the bank of Karakul, the magnificence of Muztagh Mountain is hard to describe in words. More than a dozen glaciers of Muztag Peak pour down from the peak along the steep canyon like a rushing river, and at the foot of the mountain, the slope slows down, forming a magnificent forest of seracs. The top of the mountain still retains the original flattened surface, and the round top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, forming a rare type of glacier-ice cap. Around the top of the mountain, there are dozens of glacier canyons with a depth of thousands of meters. In the canyon, the huge thick ice is eroding upwards, constantly eroding the dome-shaped mountain top, cutting the mountain into petals. On the other hand, due to its own gravity, the glaciers in the canyon move down slowly, even reaching the foothills, and spread out to become wide-tailed glaciers. The entire mountain is in the form of an isosceles triangle, which is indeed a miracle of nature. The top of the mountain is an ice cap, and mountain glaciers develop at the foot of the mountain. Such a combination of glaciers is really rare among the highest mountains in the world.
The white sun is shrouded on Muztag Mountain, and the clouds and mists in their ears also want to hear the legend about it. The majesty of the father of the iceberg resounds through the Pamirs, and the quiet Karakul Lake is next to it. Higher than thousands of mountains, farther than thousands of waters, the wind here will send your reputation to other places without stopping for a moment.
I have seen the majestic snow-capped mountains, the emerald-like lakes, the vast Gobi desert, the kind and friendly ethnic friends, the bustling bazaar, and the leisurely life there. Green grass and blue sky, I have seen the winding mountain road there, and I have also seen the five latitudes of light there...I wear it to walk on the earth, mountains and rivers, and it takes me to never lose my way. Those unreachable distances are already the scenery behind, and those unattainable mountains have also become the sand and stones under our feet. May you and I, no matter how rough or rough, we can move forward.
