DAY1: Yushu - Laxiu
To be honest, if I hadn’t met a Tibetan primary school student singing on the side of the road and recorded the video from a distance of more than 10 meters, and vaguely heard the words “every river, smoke from cooking...”, I would not have heard this song during the National Day surprised when
After leaving the Princess Wencheng Temple, the sky was cloudy and cloudy, and the road under my feet stretched into the distance with the rolling wheels. It rained from time to time on the way. Fortunately, the wind blew away the clouds, and the little blue flowers on the side of the road caused my anxiety. Pay attention, stop the car and walk over, squatting on the grass, the flowers shaking slightly in the wind, so lovable
What this bright color brings to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in September is not only the vitality and pleasing to the eyes, but also soothes the impatient hearts of travelers at this moment.
In the afternoon, there were no big ups and downs on the road. There were flat rivers and scattered houses and villages on both sides of the road. There were a few figures swaying on the grass not far away. At first, I didn't pay attention to it. When I was passing by, the people sitting on the ground suddenly He got up and stood up, accompanied by a burst of yappy singing, stopped and looked at three Tibetan primary school students, took the opportunity to take out his mobile phone
The little girl from the right in the picture above has the loudest voice, and the little boy in the middle followed suit, meticulously. The cutest one is the kid in white clothes, who probably hasn’t gone to school yet, imitating his older siblings while saluting and hiding behind
Although it was a bit far away, and there were vehicles passing by, I couldn't hear it very clearly, but judging from the behavior of the children, they stood upright, saluted the young pioneers, and sang very seriously
After listening, beckon the children to come to your side, take out a few candies from your pocket, stuff them into everyone's hands, get up, and run back one by one. When they got on the bicycle again, the children waved and shouted bye bye bye bye bye
After saying goodbye to the child, I buried my head and continued on the road. I approached the foot of the mountain, and the altitude began to climb gradually. However, on the first day, the body is still in a state of adjustment and adaptation. The sun is still relatively high, so there is no need to rush to climb the slope. After the heartbeat and breathing gradually calm down, the distance from the top of the mountain is getting closer and closer.
Half pushed and half rode to the pass. Galaga is 4493 meters above sea level. Ga pronounced gǎ means small. It is often used by Qinghai people, such as children, generally called Gawa, Ga brothers, etc. The weather on the plateau is like Ga The face of the baby is the same, it changes as soon as it is said
After hanging up the prayer flags, throwing Longda, and chatting with the Tibetan driver, the clouds quickly blocked the sun, so I couldn’t help wrapping up my clothes tightly, ate two mouthfuls of dry food, and looked at the time. Go to the front village to stay
After going down the mountain, I soon saw a fork. The road sign indicated that I went straight to Zaduo County and turned left to Nangqianleiwuqi. It was 24 kilometers away from today’s destination—Laxiu Township. The weather was cold and cloudy, and there was no scenery. After driving for a while, the road began to pass through the canyon
Huge patterns engraved with scriptures and Buddha statues appeared on the top of my head or on the side of the road from time to time, which attracted me to look around. I took out the binoculars from my bag and watched them carefully. Whether it was on the top of a hill or on the bank of a river, any relatively smooth stone wall could be seen. Cliff stone carvings, so many holy sites, we can see the influence of local Buddhism, which probably goes back to the era of King Nangqian...
At 7:30 in the evening, when we arrived at Laxiu Township, people in crimson clothes appeared in front of us one after another. They saw a tall pagoda with a different shape, and hurriedly stopped the car, which soon attracted the attention of lamas. The onlookers took the opportunity to inquire about where to stay, and felt relieved to hear that there was a hotel. Everyone looked at me curiously, and some asked me where I was going? Some ask are you alone? Caressing the prayer flags on the handlebars, reciting the scriptures above softly, discussing the content that he didn't understand
Not far from the temple, a row of houses began to appear on the side of the road. There were shops and car repair shops. When I wondered why I hadn’t seen the hotel yet, I saw an old woman waving beside the truck adding water. I looked back and saw that there was no one else behind me. , are you calling me?
Pushing the cart and walking over, I found a place blocked by the front of the car. There was a flashing signboard with the words "hotel" written on it. I opened the curtain and poked my head in. Inside was a place selling steamed buns, saying "Grandma" He led me into the gate next to it, and there was a small house in the backyard, with a few beds scattered around inside, but it was clean and tidy.
At this time, an uncle who was five-year-old and three-year-old came in and took the initiative to talk to me. To my surprise, in order to let me have a good rest, he cleaned up the only single room (Jingtang) in the hut and told me where to eat noodles , where to eat rice, introduced by my uncle, at the Chongqing restaurant opposite, I ate three bowls of rice with a hot potato casserole, returned to the hotel, and charged the device
Get into the sleeping bag to feel the exhaustion of the body...
