Magnificent mountains and rivers, long history, last year's trip to Xi'an, and now the long-awaited trip to the mysterious holy land is about to start, and I wrote my wild thoughts on the way to the plane.

On the plane from Chongqing to Lhasa

On the plane in the early morning of December 16, 2019

The foggy city of the mountain city lives up to its name. When boarding the plane at 6:20, the entire airport was blocked by thick fog. At seven o'clock, the plane circled the ground and finally took off, roaring through the fog and piercing the clouds. In the morning, the plane may have too heavy a task, dragging the heavy sun, so it kept bumping when it ascended, and the player kept playing soothing greetings, and my heart was still bumping. When the plane stabilized, the sun was about to climb up the clouds, and it spewed out boundless karst behind it, chasing the plane with light and heat. Looking back, my dear, the sun is shining above the sea of ​​clouds. Looking down from the plane at almost eight o'clock, the mountain peaks pierced through the clouds and mist and gradually revealed their majesty, and more and more of them spread across the land. After a while, the mountains disappeared, and the plane probably entered the sky over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The place where the eagles fly will welcome me.

the sun rises behind the plane

The mountains are getting higher and higher, and there are almost no clouds in between. Occasionally, there are two fogs floating in it, which look like holy snow lotus before the sun shines! The mountain is rising, and there is no green on the mountain, even if it is yellow. But after a while, I saw a deep stream sprinkled with a wisp of green drifting away under the plane, wouldn't it be the Yajiang River? Gradually, there is more snow on the mountain peaks. At this time, the mountains are only black and white, which are particularly distinct. The tops of the mountains are like knives, axes, and chisels without any bluntness. They are extremely sharp, like knives or swords. Po Qiong, could it be that the Himalayas grew and grew by virtue of this power? There is a song that says "connected by sitting and sitting on the mountain". It's nothing, they are groups and groups of people who are entangled with each other to worship Mount Everest. When the sun rises and looks down, the top of the snow-capped mountains emits a golden light, which seems to add to the strength of the mountains to advance towards Mount Everest.

At 8:30, I saw that the mountain peaks under the plane were almost completely covered with snow, and the vast snow field could not reach its limit. Maybe the altitude is higher. Near nine o'clock, probably because of the sunshine, many snow peaks rose up with clouds and mist, which gradually became diffuse, and the wind and clouds rushed to the sky. In a vast expanse of white ocean, it is gradually difficult to tell which is the cloud and which is the snow-capped mountain. The clouds and mist are getting thicker and thicker, trying to cover the snow-capped mountains, but Bai Kaifeng shows his majesty unyieldingly.

After staying up for a long time, I was so tired that I finally couldn't hold my eyelids, and squinted for a while.

At 9:45, the plane approached Gongga Airport. The mysterious Tibet drew my eyes out of the cabin again. There is less snow on the mountain peaks, and the mountains are still continuous and majestic. The mountains are like brothers and sisters standing shoulder to shoulder and holding hands with each other. I used elementary school math to calculate, there are at least 1.4 billion brothers and sisters in the Himalayas!

Under the plane, the boundless and endless snow-capped mountains stretching for thousands of miles

Strolling in downtown Lhasa

December 16, 2019

It was already noon when we took the bus from the airport to downtown Lhasa.

The sky in "Sunshine City" is blue, touched by the sun, it is not as cold as imagined, minus 7 degrees, it feels as warm as my hometown Yibin, and there is no altitude sickness (the reaction gradually developed later).

Entering the urban area, the architectural style is completely different from that of the mainland, and the shadow of Bugong can be seen everywhere. If I want to get around in the city, I want to find a scooter, but there are no shared bicycles, no small yellow cars, let alone shared cars. I have brought a driver's license in vain. It would be bad if you dumped ham in the city. I didn't bring any luggage because I was born out of touch, so I decided to walk all the way from the place where I got off the bus to the hotel. Whole pieces and whole legs of beef in the alleys and streets of the urban area are placed on the side of the road to choose at will. The beauties walking on the street are also turning the tube to chant scriptures, men and women often wear skirts, fluttering and pious. But men wear hats and women wear masks, I don’t know what it means, skin care? Maybe it is, most of the faces have plateau red. The handsome men and beautiful women in Lhasa are different from those in the mainland, and they are in the same style as the coldness of the plateau mountains.

There are not many people in the small roadside shop when it is time to eat. After looking at the menu, it is generally not the same, and it is twice as expensive as the mainland. Ordering a Tibetan rice bowl is a little expensive, but it is fragrant and delicious, and I can like it. The stamina of this rice bowl is not as long as that of my hometown. Yibin rice bowl refreshes the spleen and lungs and is unforgettable. I miss our big Yibin burning noodles again. Floating clouds wandering in the clouds, old people in the setting sun, I feel homesick just after eating. Chatting with the boss, it is said that there are shared bicycles in Lhasa, and someone picked off the locks and disappeared, so now the shared bicycles have disappeared. I remember that just after I got off the bus, a group of tricycle drivers came around and offered 25 yuan to take me to the inn, and the price was the same, not a lot! In fact, it only costs ten yuan to ask for a taxi for two miles. You can't get caught if you ask. It seems that no matter when and where, people cannot generalize. When I arrived at the hotel, I told the boss that my legs and feet were inconvenient. The handsome Kham man offered to borrow a bicycle for me for free without further ado. How can this kind of morality be explained?

When I went out of the hotel and went shopping in a store, I sat there for more than ten minutes without the clerk paying attention to me. This kind of business is different from the mainland. The goods are there, they are not dusty or dirty, neither born nor destroyed, neither increase nor decrease, you can buy them if you want to buy them or not. Maybe the Lhasa people's "Prajna Paramita" is well-read and the theory is used in practice. So I had no choice but to greet the salesperson in turn, and bought some Tibetan medicine for the old father at home, hoping that the medicine blessed by the gods would bring good luck to the family. When you come out of the store, the sun shines unobstructed, and you set up a pergola to look at the sky. If you realize something, the people here are probably "clear and clear", so there is nothing to worry about when doing business.

Potala Palace, Barkhor Street

December 17, 2019

Last night I had a hasty meal and fell on the bed without moving. I woke up early today. If you are planning to go to the Potala Palace and Barkhor Street, you can spend a day in the urban area to get used to Gaofan.

The sky is white, and I took a car to Bugong. The stars are still blinking in the blue sky, and there are already many worshipers along the way, chanting words in their mouths and prostrating in three steps, and counting each time they pray. There is a row of prayer wheels on the left side of Bugong Square. Pedestrians go to turn around. I also feel the prayer wheels and turn them one by one. The cold wind in the morning feels cold but there is a kind of heat in my chest.

Continuous peaks surround the city of Lhasa, and the holy city is silent in the basin. Looking up, the sky is blue or blue, and the panoramic camera can't capture a cloud. The sun rises and the moon still hangs in the mid-heaven. It is really the sun and the moon. Approaching the Cloth Palace and looking up, the White House is grandly spread out on the two wings of the Red Palace. The entire palace stands majestically. You can really experience the "immutable solemnity"!

It is not allowed to take pictures in the Cloth Palace, you can only check in outside, and left a few photos to enter the Cloth Palace.

Ten steps outside the palace

The color arrangement on the red wall of the Cloth Palace is superb. The five colors of red, yellow, green, blue and ochre are spread on the thick and heavy wall. The Tibetans walked slowly with lowered eyebrows and eyes. Seeing this piety, I could only follow silently. The rented voice guide introduces the past and present life of the living Buddha in front of each Buddha seat. The magnificent palaces are full of gems and gems, and the voice of the commentary is deaf.

Looking at the Cloth Palace from afar

The sun was already high when we came out of the palace, and the cold air in the morning seemed to be completely scorched by the unobstructed bright sun. The air warmly enters the spleen and lungs, and the heart becomes as clear and open as the sky here. Wearing sunglasses to face the sun, trying to find the feeling of being closer to the sky. Bathed in the sun, the stomach growled in meditation, so I accepted the primitive call to wrap my stomach.

After eating, walk on the streets of Barkhor Street.

The landmark of Barkhor Street, the inscriptions are vigorous and the stone slabs are simple and unadorned

This place is really called the two heavens of ice and fire. It is as warm as spring in the sun, and cold under the shadow of the building.

Ice and Fire

When the sun is performing its duties, the clouds and mists are transpiring, and the clouds are floating in the sky as if to set off the blueness and clarity of the sky.

Thousands of bundles of beautiful women's long hair fell to the ground, and they walked slowly in full dress to worship the Buddha

The message of commercialization of Jokhang Temple is very strong, but the Tibetan Buddhist believers who come here support the old and the young to prostrate and worship. The devout group bows, kowtows, bows three times and bows again. Is this kind of kowtowing an ancient sport here? Wandering in the center of Buddhist culture in this holy city, there is a kind of information permeating the air, soaking into the skin and implanting in the soul.

After dinner, I wandered aimlessly in the night on a free bicycle. The traffic flowed on the road, the pedestrians were silent, and there was no publicity in the city. The Lhasa city was brightly lit at night, and it was more quiet in the cold.

Gonggazong Site, Yamdrok Yongcuo Lake, Naiqin Kangsang Peak, Karola Glacier

December 18, 2019

Mount Everest and Bugong are the two major goals of this trip. Feel the pious atmosphere, and then complete the long-awaited ultimate trip of geography. The trip to Mount Everest starts, and the first stop along the way is Yanghu Lake, which is estimated to arrive at twelve o'clock. As soon as you get on the highway, the desolate and almost lifeless mountains sweeping towards you. There is ice on the road, and the tour guide can drive about 90 miles.

The sightseeing seats were occupied by two beauties, so it's a pity that I couldn't take good pictures. After nine o'clock, the sun has already looked down on the earth, and the mountains in the distance are interlaced in the light and shadow, and the yin and yang are distinct. Looking around, the vast sky is full of gray tone, and there are occasional snow-capped mountains outcropping in the distance. Although the scenery is monotonous, fortunately, there are always some color changes that can cheer people up when the cars move and the mountains move under the sun.

After exiting the expressway, the wooden roofs and window eaves of several Tibetan houses on the side of the road are raised, and there is a trace of Bugong. Although the air is not as intense as the light and shadow, but when the car reaches the Yajiang River, it is also a little tight. Take out a cigarette and smell it to refresh your mind. When I first got into the car, the chattering little girls were also silent, only the impact of the car windows and the friction of the four wheels against the plateau could be heard.

Stopped at the viewing platform of the Yarlung Zangbo River at the Gonggazong site, got off the car and put on a golden hada to take a photo with the Tibetan mastiff. I was in a good mood.

Overjoyed

From a distance, the Yajiang River looks so gentle and peaceful in the continuous mountains, the moon is still hanging on the blue sky for thousands of miles, and the mountains are clustered and boundless across the sky.

The peaks rush to the Yajiang River

Arrived at Yamdrok Yongcuo Lake. Taking pictures on the viewing platform, the lake water captured by the lens is shining like an emerald under the blue sky. No matter what angle and posture people take in the image, they cannot compete with the lake water. Driving on the road along the lake, I saw a blue sky, unrestrained and unrestrained. Along the way, the mountains and valleys rush forward, and the snow-capped mountains are stationed in the distance to look out. The sun shines across the lake from the opposite side, jumping out of sparkling golden waves. This Yanghu lake is nourished by many waters, and the sky is so clear and clear. The gullies and ravines between the mountains flow down and trickle into the lake. This clear water is the result of the exchange and contest between the most soft and the most rigid!

Plateau Mingzhu Stone Lake---Yamdrok Yongcuo Lake

The mountains around Youmu are endlessly pale and yellow in this winter, and it is also a magnificent scenery for the eyes, but the Yanghu Lake and the sky are too dazzling to form a blue sky, but it has become a foil.

Cangshan accompanied by lake jump Jinbo

The wind is strong by the lake, and occasionally the sand and dust blowing up by the roadside gradually rises to fill the sky.

The lunch arranged by the tour guide was not very good, the little beauty was not happy, but I ate two bowls, maybe I was hungry. Eat less in the future, it will be uncomfortable to go to the toilet. That butt was blown by the merciless wind as if it was going to peel off. The peculiar smell brought by the wind permeates the wall and the pit, and a gust of wind blows sand and rocks, and the women's toilet next door can be heard screaming and screaming.

Red River Valley, Highland Barley World

The sightseeing car cross-country crosses the mountain and stops in the Red River Valley.

Naiqin Kangsang Peak in Zala, Shannan City is one of the four sacred mountains in Tibet. The glacier on the southern slope falls down like falling from the sky, and connects the clouds and the sky to Lian Shuidian. The white peak pierces the sky, and the high ice cap stretches down to form a solidified river, which has been flowing for thousands of years in the sun, dazzling and incandescent.

The wind at the foot of the Karola Glacier should be cold, but after walking a few steps, the air is tight, and the air is no longer friendly. The tour guide said that coming to this plateau is to experience high resistance!

Most of the people in the car were tired and didn't want to get out of the car for sightseeing. The brain melon kernel seems to be not a whole with the head, so don't experience the shaking of your head, just be careful not to shake the brain kernel out! At this time, I want to be quiet.

There are still some people in the same industry who want to try to experience the climbing under the high-resistance. From the stop point to the highest viewing platform, the altitude difference between 4980 and 5170 is less than 200 meters. I didn’t use an oxygen tank, and I was panting like a cow on the road. I stopped three times in the middle and kept encouraging myself, “Brother Yong, be brave.” ", unremitting efforts finally climbed to the top.

As you go up, the wind gets faster and faster, and the colorful prayer flags on the highest viewing platform dance fiercely, sometimes making a cracking sound. The cold air swooped down from the valley wrapped in the bitter wind at high speed, and the prayer flags carried the belief of the Tibetans unyieldingly flying against the wind, and gradually the cold wind moved slowly away, and the prayer flags filled the air with pious notes , began the melodious narration.

After seeing one holy mountain and one holy lake, you can enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains. Feet too!

Stay overnight tonight.

Mount Everest Nature Reserve

December 19, 2019

According to the plan, I can go to Mount Everest today, and I will go to find the "snow field boundless sky as the shore, the mountain is so high that I am crazy".

Rolling towards Mount Everest, the car travels through the vast plateau (some adjectives must be used repeatedly, just like life is fuller because of repetition). Plains, canyons, and mountains rush to the back of the car, as if walking through a space-time tunnel where the sea turns into mulberry fields. The traces of plate uplift lie on the mountains, silently telling the long and intense history.

Along the way, the eyes are full of wild and rough mountains. Recalling the opportunity to go to Tibet and look down, the mountains and ravines with no fireworks for thousands of miles are also so majestic and majestic. Walking on such a land can't help but feel awe. Being in such a majestic scene for a long time, people are easily fatigued, so they look up at the sky, and the sky is endless. Looking up all the way, we move forward under the nourishment of the blue.

There is an open land like a small plain between the mountains. There are cattle and sheep all over the field. It is very leisurely under the warm sun in winter. The flowing water between the mountains and the plains was frozen into white streamers dotted with some bright colors. I don't know if there is still trickle or turbulence below. The villagers gather in the courtyard dam to drink tea and bask in the sun without caring about the cattle and sheep. This day is so harmonious in winter. The cars that are not seen on the road are all off-road vehicles.

The blue sky and mountains may have long been regarded as air by Tibetans. The towers standing on the field and the prayer flags fluttering are the guides of their souls.

lead!

Spirit Pagoda

Sometimes when we think about it, the less we care about what is nothing, it is often worth cherishing and exploring. For example, who can leave the air? For example, how many relatives care about! Rather, it is mysterious about the profound blue sky and the strange nature, which breeds worship and belief. This is the beginning of the rise of "Bon Religion", the predecessor of Tibetan Buddhism more than N years ago, and the source of all worship and belief.

Bon symbol

Crossing the plains and rushing to the mountains, the mountain road has eighteen bends, and people are also confused. The mountains are getting higher and higher, but the mountains are getting more and more soothing. The mountains outside the car window are like small mounds. The icicles in the river beside the road remind you that you are walking on a plateau, the altitude is too high, and the walker is advancing towards Mount Everest! There are snow peaks rising in the distance, and the altitude is more than 5,000 meters. At this time, the wind is howling, and the mountains and rivers are speechless. Stopping the car, uncomfortable! I had no choice but to take a flash shot, got in the car and took a look, hahaha, nothing was photographed in the panic.

Mount Everest Entrance

Entering the Mount Everest Nature Reserve, there is a section of "Disco Road" from time to time, and there are constant border inspections on the road. This is the time when the ID card is most frequently used in this life.

The "108th Turn" of the car dealership has a steep and steep turn, and people in the car are thrown around like sandbags. Some people closed their eyes and listened, some raised their heads high, and the two little girls in the front row passed several turns in excitement. The driver of "108 Turns" said that there are actually more than 130 turns, and when the count reached forty, the two girls lost their breath. Shake, shake, shake until there are stars in your eyes, shake your soul out of your body. Going to Mount Everest is dangerously abducted, and the tourists in the car drive want to vomit.

overlooking the peaks

Arrived at the Mount Everest Observation Deck in Tingri County, Shigatse. After getting off the car, I experienced the difficulty of mountaineering on the plateau. Finally, I stood on the viewing platform, and I could see many snow-capped peaks. Hurry down the mountain. On the way, the wind was howling, and the sand and dust flew up when the feet stepped on the ground. The altitude was too high and there was a little lack of oxygen. When walking, it was like stepping on cotton.

After punching the card in a hurry, he slipped away

At about 6 o'clock in the evening, the car stopped at Quzong Village, Tashizong Township, Tingri County, and then changed to a bus and traveled about five kilometers to reach the viewing point of Mount Everest Base Camp. The altitude here is 5,200 meters, the temperature is minus 16 degrees, and the same wind howling and cold. Water flowed across the ground and it froze, making it crunchy to walk on. You can already see the main peak of Mount Everest when you look up, but you have to walk for a while to get a full view of it. Although the cold weather made it difficult to move forward, Jiuyun's enthusiasm was even higher, and he moved towards the scenic spot with every step.

Mount Everest under the 88-level wind

When approaching the sign of a scenic spot, most people don't take pictures first, but stop and look from a distance.

star in the telescope

Everest, the ultimate coordinate of the earth, means "mother of the earth" in Tibetan. Now the main peak is 8848 meters, according to the calculation of scientists, it once exceeded 12000 meters 13 million years ago. Looking at Mount Everest from a distance, she is so illusory, looming, which adds to the atmosphere of mystery and holiness. Around the main peak, the peaks are coming towards, and the peaks are surging. The snow-covered mountain peaks are shining golden in the afterglow of the setting sun. The air-conditioning on the top of the main peak condenses into clouds and is blown to one side by the 108-level gust of wind. In the sunset, it looks like a golden banner waving in the wind. In fact, she is the banner, which can always summon the admiration and reverence of explorers from afar, come to achieve immortal geographical legends one by one, and even exchange their lives for getting close to it, and welcome the peak of glorious life. The pinnacle of life is hard to come by, let's experience the extreme of geography!

Rizhao Jinshan

I stayed at the Tibetan people's house in Quzong Village at night, and there were nine people from all over the world, and they lived in a big house in groups of men and women.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Junfeng, who is in the same bed as a photographer, invited me to watch the starry sky. When I got out of the door, there was silence all around, with occasional dogs barking. The Li brothers had a great idea and put the lens on the telescope to take pictures of the starry sky. The Big Dipper leads the stars, quietly watching this pure land in the deep night sky. Things change in the world, but the stars in the sky are eternal. The snow-capped mountains in the distance present a dignified outline under the starlight, and the stars are like blazing stars. The night sky here is dazzling and quiet, with meteors passing by from time to time. Who among the stars will be the next to perish? In the journey of the avenue, change is the eternity of the world.

Qilin Gorge

December 20, 2019

I know whether the journey is warm or cold, and the beauty and scenery are all in my eyes. I hope this tour can enter an infinitely open territory.

Today we will embark on the return trip to Lhasa. The tour guide brother said that we will set off before dawn in the morning, and we may see the beauty of the sunrise.

In the howling cold wind, rushing to the morning night, accompanied by the stars, rushing to the hills with the slight dew of the morning light, what a magnificent display of the gushing brilliance!

Come and come, the peaks are burning with desire, the starlight cannot compete with the sun and shyly fade away. All the mountain tops seem to be piled up with firewood, which is being ignited by bunches of fire and has become raging. However, the sun seems to have accumulated a heavy load, or is accumulating soaring energy? Anxiously looking forward to the brilliance that breaks out of the horizon.

The sky was shining and I didn't see the gushing picture scroll. It's a pity that I was fooled by the tour guide. There is no sea of ​​clouds in the mountains and valleys of this plateau, how could it be possible to see such splendor? Feeling ups and downs, looking up at the blue sky and feeling comfortable again.

Get off the "108 Road Turn" and see the plain again. The sun also rose at nine o'clock, and an asphalt road running through the plain was like a golden carpet laid under the sunlight. The cold mountain peaks have also become warmer, and the sun sprinkled the golden sky to make everything warm. A layer of fog hangs over the quiet village, and it seems to have received energy in the sun, singing and dancing gracefully and swaying gracefully. The earth is so peaceful and peaceful yet full of vitality. This is probably the ambition that King Gesar wanted to achieve when he galloped in Qinghai-Tibet to subdue demons. Maybe the Communist Party today is also Gesar back then!

Little Gesanghua

Eat at a roadside restaurant in Xielin. Baima Luding, a small Tibetan friend, and his younger sister had their faces painted with oil, and the plateau red produced by the wind, sand and sunshine smiled on their faces with two small Gesang flowers.

The car continues to drive in the boundless mountains and wilderness, how small and helpless people are in it. Cold, hunger, pain, disease, prehistoric beasts, thunder and earth fires have all stopped in this wilderness, none of which can make people fearful and confused. I have to admire the plateau people! There was a lot of wind and sand on the road, and the water everyone brought was used up.

Along the way, my mouth was dry and my tongue was about to split. Brother Yu Yuesong each shared a piece of orange. The taste was sweet and mellow, leaving teeth!

Most of the rural Tibetan-style houses along the way are very beautiful, and the light is fully shining on the earth. Tibetans sit on the ground and enjoy the sunshine in groups of three or four. The cattle and sheep who have not gone to the wilderness to forage also enjoy the same treatment, standing or lying down lazily. Every town has a golden prayer wheel, that's the rare shop! The houses along the road, comparatively speaking, the houses in places with fertile water and grass are high-grade and beautiful, and the houses in places with poor natural conditions are mostly adobe houses. The economic strength contrast is obvious. The wind on the road is not gentle, and the air is full of roughness and wildness. The open field without vegetation is often filled with sand and dust. After passing through the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, many sand dunes on the riverside are really beautiful, some are circling and winding, some are trailing out of the shore, some are like a thinker resting on his cheeks, some are like a girl looking forward, and the shape is endless. its kind. Beauty is beauty, but when the wind and sand blow up, you can imagine that it is difficult to breathe and walk!

A corner of Qilin Gorge

Passing by a wonder "Qilin Gorge", located in Qiongzi Township, east of Dingjie County, Shigatse City, Tibet Autonomous Region, also known as "Mucun Soil Forest" canyon.

The depth of the river in the canyon cuts the surface, resulting in unloading cracks on the slope. The river erodes along the cracks, the surface sinks hundreds of meters, and the remaining parts form a soil forest that springs up like mushrooms. The natural uncanny workmanship, wind carving and water erosion have created a group of sculptures, which are mighty, tangled and scattered in groups, standing like a forest. At a glance, it seems that hundreds of millions of years have passed, and time has stopped in this strange and towering canyon.

Spectacular soil forest

Back to Shigatse at 6:00 pm, the altitude dropped 1,500 meters, and the trees could be seen again, but the branches were bare and there were no leaves, so there was no life in this winter. Gesang flowers will not bloom in this season, so if you see the bright dresses of Tibetan women, imagine the flaming flowers.

Brahmaputra Grand Canyon

December 21, 2019

Today, return to Lhasa and return to the Potala Palace, and watch the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon along the way.

Tashilhunpo Monastery

Think of the lyrics: Go to the top of the snow mountain to wake up my soul, go to the Yarlung Zangbo River to wash away my heart.

Before checking into the hotel yesterday, I went to Tashilhunpo Monastery to listen to the sutras. Strolling in the serene temple, the bells are melodious in the wind, the believers are devout, and the temple is solemn and solemn. There is a big tree in the temple that is vigorous and vigorous, and the monks and believers can't accurately name it.

unknown tree

This big tree has taken root and survived the world without knowing how long it will be. Listening to the Buddha's words, it is unparalleled in the world, and it cannot be named! I can't help but stop and meditate on the series of thoughts, and my dizzy brain is rolling in the world of mortals, looking forward to the birth of a ray of wisdom. When you are in the Buddhaland, you can't help thinking about it. The Buddhadharma is boundless. Can you find the upper limit of your ability? God is omnipotent, can you cook a meal that you can't stop eating? Contradictory! How many things have been wasted through the ages, the rise and fall swim out of the chest. Deep and complicated pictures emerge in my mind, and the moon falls into the star field in the starry sky of my thoughts. Fame and wealth, wine and wealth, sound, color, taste, sex, fame and profit, sensory pleasure makes people forget worries and pains, and food, wine, music and beauty are inescapable. Willing to be detached and far away from the sea of ​​suffering and the world, is it suitable for the moderate and the far-reaching? Can't stop, where is the answer? Nostalgia for a foreign land escapes, and the yearning for the eternal sky is still there. If you dare to ask where the road is on a heart-washing trip, if you can’t "Wukong", just hum "fake names and sing lightly, travel can slow down drunk" and let your heart fly!

After traveling for a few days, I slept soundly last night. This morning, I was still tired from driving and gradually fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already the scorching sun.

A corner of the Grand Canyon

On the way back, we drove through the Grand Canyon, the altitude was getting lower and the altitude was still a bit high, my head was heavy and my lips were dry.

Passing by a celestial burial mountain during the journey, the tour guide’s face was immature, but he said seriously: This is the place where the body is destroyed and the soul soars! I can't help but think of the magnificence of Dunhuang's "Neon Clothes Dragging the Broad Belt, Floating in the Sky". We are atheists, so what do you expect from Feitian.

Now the road is being built, and the road is full of dust and "dancing disco" again. The car travels through the Grand Canyon, and the mountains on both sides are embedded in the blue sky with rocks and snow. Most parts of the canyon are very wide, and there is a feeling of flatness. It is not easy for you to feel the steepness of the mountains on both sides, but this is indeed the highest and most dangerous canyon in the world. The Yajiang River runs through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for more than 2,000 kilometers. The river rushes to cut mountains and mountains, and the mountains on both sides of the river tower into the sky. It is really spectacular! Occasionally, the mountains become steeper in narrow places, and the deep streams become more rapid. There are Tibetans living together in the open area, and there are also houses scattered on the edge of the stream. The houses are dotted in the deep stream of the big gorge, and there is a bleak but strong vitality in this winter.

The car is speeding, the canyon is winding, and the Yajiang River reflects colorful light in the interlacing changes of light and shadow under the sun, which is truly psychedelic!

Stopped to check and then went to the toilet, squatted in the pit for a while, kissed the buttocks in the strong wind, the wind and sand blinded the eyes, and the roof slammed. Perhaps the interlacing between suffering and beautiful scenery can better understand the ultimate landscape, thank you for the gift of nature!

There is a flying bridge across the big river, the arch spans the long river, green waves flow, and the humanities and geography shine.

When the long river is rushing, it is anxious and angry, but when it is slow and tolerant! Along the way, there is still wind and sand dancing. Could it be that the preface to the sacred teachings says "snow flies in the morning, land is lost on the way, startling sand rises in the evening, and the sky is lost in the sky", wow, this is also a pilgrimage to learn from the scriptures.

slow flow

The driver is the tour guide brother, and he has to take a break every two hours. It is strange that he can always stop by the scenic spot every time he takes a rest. So I got out of the car to take pictures. This scenic spot is in a narrow valley, with frightening sand blowing against my face and strong winds. I want to fall to enjoy the scenery near the river.

dangerous valley

The scenery along the way is psychedelic, there are high mountains reflecting snow, there are blue waves washing streams, the mountains are high and low, and the peaks are criss-crossing. The water roars furiously in the narrow place, and the ripples flow out of the river in the wide place. It's really a mile of scenery, thousands of miles change, the beauty is endless, and the magnificence extends to the sky.

The wind dances through the big Jiansha to take advantage of the situation,

The mountains and ravines bring the flow.

Jin Hui bets to urge the river to flow,

Pentium has not competed for thousands of miles!

Lhasa to Lanzhou train

December 22, 2019

Goodbye Bugong, goodbye Lhasa, leave today by train to Lanzhou, the first city on the Yellow River.

Finally see shared bicycle

I finally saw a shared bicycle at the train station. Mobile phone navigation in Lhasa is inaccurate, and information technology and convenient services are still relatively nonsense.

After a week, the body was ups and downs on the plateau, and the muscles and bones were about to loosen. The scenery is infinitely beautiful, and the people are too uncomfortable. Looking up at the blue sky, I am in a good mood. Fortunately, in the heart of Meijinghua, it is open to the heart!

Reluctantly board the train step by step.

I can't see the condor from the train window, is it hibernating?

On the way out of Lhasa, the altitude increased again, and the snow-capped mountains were approaching again. It was as magnificent and desolate as outside the window. Some rivers and small lakes were frozen, and the oxygen in the lungs became thinner and thinner. In the distance, there are black flaky elves floating in the sky, with a light and relaxed posture, that is the condor guarding this land.

Wilderness Snow Peak

The wheels are rolling towards the pass of Tanggula Mountain - the world's highest railway station, the train is rushing, and the natural world is shifting among the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. On this vast and boundless land, the eyes are easily fatigued, and the magnificent beauty here has become numb. The few people along the way are like the thin air on this plateau. The snow-capped peaks are protruding in the distance, and you can ignore the galloping train when you look far away. Although the snow-capped mountains are within reach, they are farther away than imagined, and feel as ordinary as the small hills in my hometown. Therefore, it is hard to believe that there is a drop of several thousand meters between the place where the place is and the snow peak that looks like a little white hat!

Xue Ye Wu Trace

Under the sun, the fertile fields of Liaoyuan are strewn with ice and snow. The sound of wind and thunder outside the window can be heard as the train speeds up. This world of ice and snow gives people a kind of heroic spirit. The Yunwo Mountains are snow-covered, and the sky is full of light and the ground is white. The vast expanse stretches beyond the sky, why be afraid of the wind, thunder and scorching sun.

snow, mountains without boundaries

After descending the Tanggula Mountain Col, the night became deeper and lower, and my breathing became easier, which is a good thing. The sky was cold and foggy, the sun was about to set behind the train, and it felt like I was heading into the night. The sun chases the train to see me off with the afterglow, but I have to say goodbye after thousands of miles, goodbye to Lhasa and Qinghai-Tibet.

At night, the sleeper car of the train is very quiet, except for sleeping or sleeping. When he woke up, Huang Liang was not there, so he turned over and Duke Zhou came again. Hearing the sound of the train drilling holes, how much lower is the altitude? The fantasy of walking and walking from the heart really started from a dream, and the rolled-up quilt fell asleep again. Arrived in Lanzhou at noon, exhausted and tired all the way, so we stayed in the hotel first. When washing, I saw that the years on the face of the person in the mirror seemed to have engraved some vicissitudes, but added some traces of the smile that once stayed. After washing, I took a nap again.

Lanzhou City, Baita Park, Yellow River

December 23, 2019

After traveling in Lhasa for seven days, I traveled to Mount Everest and stayed in Lanzhou on my way back.

At 14:00 on the 23rd, leave the hotel and take the bus to Baita Park. After going out for a long time, people are a little tired, so I get out of the car and walk slowly on the first bridge of the Yellow River "Zhongshan Iron Bridge". Stay and watch, and smile when you come and go. As far as the eye can see, it seems that the vicissitudes of life are slowly coming, and the narration is endless.

Move to the park platform to overlook Lanzhou City, but you can see the fog (sand dust) covering the Jincheng, and the sun is shining purple. It may be quite a long time ago that I passed Hangu Pass and came here. Fog evaporates in Lanzhou City, and the sun is full of purple air; Laojun rides a bull, and there is little air outside the Great Wall. Lanzhou's alias "Jincheng" means "the sun reflects the yellow sand and purple air"? In fact, Huo Qubing, the illustrious God of War, once stationed troops here, sealed off the wolves and lived in Xu Mountain, chased them away with whips, and howled the wolves of the Huns. The place where troops were stationed was named Jincheng in those days.

Jincheng Ziqi

It is another scene to climb up the White Tower slowly and go up to a higher level. But see, the white pagoda nurtures forests with light and sparse shadows, and the long river is full of wind and weather; there are long whales and dragons singing and whistling in the valley, and the sunset is full of peony pavilions.

Undergrowth light and shadow

The sun has set in the west, thousands of mansions stand along the river in Jincheng, and thousands of people build their dreams, and the sunset is sprinkled on the long river.

long river sunset

At this time, you don't see the lonely smoke in the desert, but you see the long river and the sunset. Great! Walking to the forest of steles is not allowed to enter.

Thousands of buildings compete to build thousands of people to build dreams

As night fell and walked across the Zhongshan Bridge, looking back at Baita Park, the lights were already dim. The "Caosheng Pavilion" on the top of the mountain in the distance is dominating it. I don't know if it is crazy or not? Sorry for not being able to see the real thing! Suddenly seeing the reflection of the Yellow River in the Caosheng Pavilion, I feel relieved. The holy pavilion is filled with the juice of the Yellow River, and all the madness and Xu Su are holy; why bother to see the true meaning and write along the river.

The drums sound in the belly, people are sleepy and their legs are slow, so they look for the tip of the tongue and meet in Qingzhen.

Er Er put a piece on one side and grabbed it with one hand. The two elder brothers on the opposite side served a bowl each. The noodles came up and sat upright with his head down, only to hear Siri raise his head and raise his eyebrows, a rhythmic whirlwind. I just ate a piece of finger meat, the voice on the other side stopped abruptly, and I looked up in shock! Food, the best food of the week. The portions are too full and I don’t want to leave. The stool on the opposite side has long been cold and a new person has been replaced. So he poked his teeth in full style and had another cup of tea. After sitting for a long time, the boss didn't rush to pay the bill. I wonder if I can eat in the waiter? Such delicious food, if it slips away coquettishly, it is really unreasonable, Amitabha, sin, sin. So thank you very much.

"Noodles like"

Golden soup embellished with emerald piles of jade pieces,

What's the use of the nose when the fragrance gets into the eyes?

Eat three spring fresh in winter,

Don't hear the lingering sound lingering between the beams.

A large water mirror on the pedestrian street

Shuri went to the pedestrian street after a full sleep, and it was slightly cold at minus six degrees in the morning.

Lanzhou Beef Noodles

A Bite of China's Old Horse

Unexpectedly, the Yellow River water, beef noodles, grilled skewers, and egg fermented glutinous rice are all swallowed and moistened. The beautiful scenery is accompanied by the tip of the tongue. After seeing it, go to try something new;

All the way through this trip, I posted photos while traveling in the WeChat classmate group, and also attached explanations and feelings, so I left the above text. Although traveling alone is alone, it is also very pleasant to share the beautiful scenery and exchange thoughts. Alone outside, not stealthily caring about him, able to indulge in excesses. This solo tour is unfettered and unfettered, the sky is high and the clouds are light, imagine and experience the joy of happiness!

All the way, the wind and dust are so beautiful. One stop in Lanzhou, the end of the journey is also the starting point of returning home, which is not only economical but not economical. Sit quietly on the street of the first city of the Yellow River, bathe in the sunshine, and say goodbye to the warm thoughts of the Yellow River. The previous descriptions of the Yellow River are also prepared, but the feeling of grasping things is the same? The rise of excitement, praise and comfort!

Song of the Yellow River

Qinghai-Tibet pregnant Bayan,

The Yellow River comes from the sky;

Across thousands of miles,

Mission to the East.

Kuang Sha Teng River rises,

Wan Ren rushed to hurry;

West to conquer Kunlun,

Go east to Yuelongmen.

Hongbo Baichuanhui,

Roaring Dragon Qi Wei;

Nourish the spirit of the shore,

The soul of grand plan Shenzhou.

The river competes with the wilderness,

Liver and gallbladder worry!

galloping into the ocean,

Merry around the world! !
