Sequence: Xining - Yushu
Yushu, the starting point of this ride, was the place where Princess Wencheng passed by when she entered Tibet, and there are many roads from Yushu to Tibet. After comprehensive consideration of the relevant records, I finally chose to go south to Changdu to enter Tibet. What I saw and heard along the way, It has greatly enriched the imagination beyond reading, so maybe it can go further...
When I bought the ticket, I didn’t know what the shuttle bus to Yushu was like. I thought it was the kind of sleeper berth a few years ago. Although the smell was indescribable, there was a place to lie down. After passing the security check and getting on the bus, I felt chilled Halfway there, I then asked the driver when he would be able to arrive in Yushu, and the answer was around 6 o'clock the next morning, which meant a 15-hour overnight hard-seat bus.
Apart from being sore all night without sleep, there are two things that impressed me the most. One is that when the car arrived in Huangyuan County, two hawkers selling snacks came up. The aunt sitting next to him wanted to buy a piece of boiled corn. The auntie returned the corn she held in her hand to the peddler, thinking that she should insert a sentence when they were negotiating the price: give me one too, and I will give you the difference
The second is that the driver stops to go to the toilet at night and needs another driver to drive the night train. A young Tibetan couple sitting on the other side of the aisle in the back seat occupied the resting place of the driver. After being woken up, they reluctantly returned to their original position behind the car. , It was around 10:30 in the night, and there were murmurs of chanting, snoring, WeChat voice, vomiting, and farting mixed with an indescribable smell in the car.
Arrived in Yushu the next day and checked into the hotel. In retrospect, I posted a circle of friends, mainly to explain the situation in the car and the helpless mood. Many people expressed their understanding. I never thought that some people thought I was talking about Tibetans. There may be a misunderstanding; things are over
Looking at it from another angle, when we leave the comfortable environment, many things that we took for granted in the past cannot be generalized. It is precisely this comparison that makes travel show its irreplaceable value.
One day when I stayed in Yushu, I rode a bicycle around the street, searching for the scene of my first visit to Yushu (2011) in my vague memory
I remember that before getting into the station, the driver saw that I was holding a quilt and wanted to charge extra for luggage. At that time, my mother came to the station to deliver it, so she told the master that I was going to Yushu to help repair the road. The driver didn’t say anything, and arrived at a In a place called Huashixia, a migrant worker in the car had a high backlash and had to find a car to retreat overnight. After Yushu, he walked lightly, like stepping on cotton
At that time, the mobile phone did not have the camera function. When I came back here after 8 years, I couldn’t remember the road I walked with the equipment wrapped in a military coat in the snow. The dust was flying after the vehicle passed by. Temporary disaster relief tents, grocery stores selling breakfast and daily necessities, and Internet cafes full of computers and instant noodles. Since then, I have fallen in love with a drink
In September, Yushu had sunny days with little rain and lots of rain. When making plans, I had to check the historical weather records of previous years. I didn’t hesitate. Fortunately, after arriving at Princess Wencheng Temple, the sky cleared up. For the load of the car, the altitude and The weather, the body needs a process of adaptation
Located in Beinagou, Batang Township, 25 kilometers southeast of Jiegu Town, Yushu County, the main Buddha statue "Dari Tathagata" enshrined in the temple was left by Princess Wencheng when she entered Tibet in the fifteenth year of Tang Zhenguan (AD 641). The most magnificent and spectacular historical relic, it is the earliest large-scale Buddha statues on cliffs in Qinghai
After burning incense and lighting lamps in the temple, there is a memorial hall not far away. General Tie can’t enter the door. Through the crack of the door, only the statue of the princess and some text introductions can be seen. In front of the door, the grandma who is turning prayers under the white tower saw my ghost. With a sneaky look, he waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't get in here, and then he rode back
Passing by a canteen at the intersection, sitting at the door to eat and rest, I met a few Tibetans. One of them said that someone had ridden past here just now. laugh out loud
When the guy took the photo, I was about to leave. I heard from my friend Liuer that there is a bull-nosed hole nearby, and I can drill it. So I wanted to find someone to inquire about it, so I turned around and saw the canteen, and then the above episode happened, and the guy Tell me, Niubizi Cave is 3-4 kilometers away from here
At this time, it started to rain again, and I was thinking about the journey in the afternoon. I had to hurry up and hurry up. I couldn’t get through the bull-nosed hole. I thought that Shangao Road was still far away, and my heart suddenly became more at ease. Thinking this way, on the one hand, I realized that the journey was just now. At the beginning, on the other hand, when you climb over the mountain, you will usher in the downhill
