Tibet was in my story, now in my experience

The story about 22 years old begins

I gave life a memorable trip

The year 2020 has taught me to cherish what I have now. In this year, I have grown a lot, traveled to many places, and experienced a lot. Tibet is the place I want, and here is the freedom I want. In my impression, Tibet is sacred, and it is the holy land that I will reach in the future. In 2019, because of an article, I saw the Potala Palace under heavy snow, so I decided that I should fulfill this dream immediately, so I planned that I should How to go to Tibet, when I was ready, the epidemic broke out in 2020, I was a little far away from Tibet, and the place I want to go will eventually arrive, so now I am here

Lhasa in my past stories

In November 2020, I decided not to miss Tibet, so I came here. The moment I bought the ticket, I felt that everything was safe. I took my luggage and my camera and went to Tibet, more than a thousand kilometers away, on the plane. For a moment, I was very excited to see the snow-capped mountains passing by one after another. But when I arrived in Lhasa, I was not as excited as I imagined. It seemed that I should have come here a long time ago. Walking on the streets of Lhasa, I didn’t feel that I was in another land. , Lhasa gave me a very cordial feeling. I finally came to this place I was thinking of. Standing under the Potala Palace, ginkgo trees are falling and people come and go. I am just a visitor here, sitting in a coffee shop and watching the sunset. The Potala Palace may not be able to see this scene again in the future. The sunset makes the Potala Palace more solemn and sacred. The bus stops at one stop on the streets of Lhasa and sees people coming and going. It's just a passer-by in my life, "Life is a passer-by, why bother with thousands of knots, since you have come to the world, why not be free and easy, and be at ease in the wind and rain"

Airport - downtown Lhasa: 30 yuan (cash is more convenient)

Lhasa city bus: 1 yuan in cash, there are Didi taxis, taxis, tricycles, etc.

Accommodation: Cidu Hotel - Potala Palace can be seen from the roof, and the Potala Palace at sunset feels the best.

Heaven and earth my Ali area

What makes me excited about Tibet is not only the stories here but also the culture here. The former Tubo Dynasty carried many historical and cultural cities,

I didn’t stay in Lhasa for a long time. With a heart of searching, I stepped on the bus to Ngari. I met many people along the way. They cared about me and praised me. I didn’t expect that one day I would come to Tibet alone. People who used to be afraid of flying alone can now fly alone to Lhasa to Ali, which is more than 3,600 kilometers away from their hometown.

The average altitude of Ali is 4,500 kilometers, a no-man's land that no one goes deep into. The high altitude here is dangerous and beautiful. It wears a mysterious veil waiting for us to uncover it.

Maybe I was looking for your (Cangyang Gyatso) footprints in Lhasa, but going to Ali is just to prove that I have become braver and stronger. The year of 2020 has made me grow. I saw the Pangong Lake incident on the news and let me come The first thing in Ali is that I want to see this lake. I haven’t rested in Lhasa for a long time, because the most beautiful Tibet is not in Lhasa but in Ali, so I went to Ali with excitement. I am worried about the high reaction rate, and have thought about whether to buy an oxygen cylinder or something? But I believe that my intuition will not be high reaction rate, so I give up buying those things (don’t refer to everyone’s ability for dangerous behavior)

District Notes

Because it was already winter when I went, there were very few people. At that time, there were only eight people in one car and the drivers, and they sat in any seat.

I went to the bus station to buy a bus ticket. It departed at 11:00 on November 2nd and arrived at around 5:00 pm on November 3rd. The journey is more than 1,600 kilometers, and the bus will stay at the hotel for one night ( Because driving at night is dangerous and cold)

I will stop to eat on the way (but it’s very late, so I’d better buy some snacks for myself, I didn’t eat on the way because I heard a big sister said it was not delicious, so I didn’t eat it)

It’s very cold in the car, so you should take out thick clothes and put them next to you in advance. When it’s cold, it’s easy to get high. When parking, try to get out of the car and walk around to adapt to the plateau environment (you can’t walk too fast or jump, so you don’t miss it.) adapt to high anti-yo)

Transportation: Buy Lhasa-Ali South Line at Lhasa Suburb North Passenger Station (if you don’t know where to buy it, you can buy it at the manual ticket office, you can’t get a refund and you can’t be late and arrive at the station one hour in advance)

Apply for a border defense permit in advance, or you won’t be able to go to many places. You can apply for free at home.

The accommodation in Ali is generally not as good as Lhasa. On the day I arrived in Ali, I went to see the Shiquan River (I didn’t rest because of the excitement when I arrived. It is recommended to rest before going out to play)

Ali Transportation: Taxi (no bus anymore)

Ali Cuisine: Longteng haggis soup pot (it is only so happy to eat mutton at minus ten degrees Celsius) about 100 per capita

Hantang Restaurant: Stir-fried Latiao (delicious and a lot of portions, I didn’t finish it all by myself)

I think the deep-fried dough sticks in Tibet are generally very big, and the deep-fried dough sticks dipped in soy milk are simply delicious.

The largest supermarket in Ali is Baiyi Supermarket, which is the largest in Ali (it has everything in it, including clothes and the like). There is a store at the checkout door of the supermarket that buys braised meat (braised beef is delicious).

There is a pavilion at the old bus station in the Ali area where you can see the whole area (the wind is huge and huge, I was blown stupid when I went there, it is recommended to wear a thicker hat

It is recommended to eat less and walk less when you just arrived at a high altitude place (I was an accident myself, it depends on my personal situation)

Because of you, I travel thousands of miles just to meet you

The first time I heard about this place was my friend. At the time, I didn’t think it was so beautiful. Later, by chance, I saw this place on the news. It was a territory guarded to the death, so I wanted to see it. The land, driving through the mountains and valleys, crossing the lake, the blue sky and white clouds are so beautiful that I am intoxicated, staring at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, maybe you are behind the snow-capped mountains,

Pangong Lake (Pangongcuo), also known as Cuomu Angla Rinpo, means "long-necked swan" in Tibetan. It is located about 12 kilometers northwest of Ritu County in Ngari Prefecture. It is a freshwater lake in my country and a saltwater lake in India. When you arrive at Bangong Lake, you will first go to Ritu County, which is the gateway from Xinjiang to northern Tibet.

When I came to the Pangong Lake Monument, I thought that I finally came to the junction of the two countries. I can’t go further and can only stop here. I have no regrets. It seems to be relieved. I used to only hope that I could reach Tibet, but now I’m across I dreamed of the whole of Tibet,

You can take a boat in summer, but you can’t because of the cold in winter

Transportation: Ali has a bus to Ritu County (we drove there by ourselves)

Accommodation: If you go early, book a room early, and if you are late, there will be no such heated houses.

Clothes: Thick, very thick, and the cold is really cold. I wear two down jackets for fear of catching a cold. After all, it’s not fun to catch a cold in the plateau?

The altitude of Ritu County is around 4500

I'm here because of you

On the way to the Ngari area, you can see the holy mountain, but when I went there, the weather was bad and it was going to snow, and the holy mountain was covered by clouds, so I saw the holy mountain on the way back. The shape of the holy mountain is very unique and there. The mountain is the highest, so it can be distinguished at a glance. It can be seen on the 219 National Highway without going to the scenic spot, because there is still more than 100 kilometers away from the 219 National Highway to the sacred mountain. There is a viewing platform on the 219 National Highway. I will be a pilgrim in the future Go to Mount Shenshan.

On the way back, it was already snowing. The mountains and snow in Ali are really beautiful, and they are amazingly beautiful. You must see the beauty here with your own eyes. You can see the holy lake Manasarovar just in front of the holy mountain (219 state Road)

You are in my heart, in my memory, now you are in front of my eyes

Tsangyang Gyatso once said, "I am the biggest king in the snow region when I live in the Potala Palace, and I am the most beautiful lover in the world wandering on the streets of Lhasa." Go follow his footsteps and be the most beautiful lover in the world. After listening to the explanation in the Potala Palace, I hope I can go to Fairy Lake to see my past and present life next time.

In winter, it is free to make an appointment online one day in advance. If you go to the Potala Palace, you can invite a commentator so that you can better understand its history and culture. Photography is not allowed in the Potala Palace.

At night, you can go to the Potala Palace Square to take pictures of night scenes. Seeing people coming and going on Barkhor Street, I think maybe we have passed each other. Go and see Maggie Ami looking for the shadow of Tsangyang Gyatso and take a group photo Tibetan clothes to experience the beauty of Tibetans,

Accommodation: Xi'an Hotel (good environment, fully automatic facilities, about two kilometers away from the Potala Palace)

Food: Strongly recommend the auspicious Shengxue Tibetan meal, it is delicious and nice for many people.

Next time I will come to feel your beauty

Walking through Nyingchi and crossing Linhai, I met snow. I was saying goodbye to Nyingchi on the snowy Sejila Mountain. Nyingchi in winter is still very good. From Ngari to Nyingchi, I can obviously feel the comfort of Nyingchi? The low altitude is full of oxygen, The air is fresh, hahaha, it’s a bit drifting. In winter, the water and snow mountains of Wuhu Lake set off its beauty.

On the return journey, if it is snowing in Sejila Mountain, you must wear snow chains.

Listening to the sound of snow falling slowly can probably be realized here,

I have traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains in my life

Driving on the dangerous No. 72 turn of the Nujiang River, I have no fear of heights. Looking at the opposite snow-capped mountains, I am saying goodbye to Tibet. I don’t know when I will be able to set foot on this holy land. Maybe you will not be here at that time, and I will come to Tibet. But I'm not here for anyone, I just want to have an experience for myself,

This is the land where I grew up

Back on the land of Sichuan, I walked through Litang, the highest city in the world. Litang seemed different from my impression. In my mind, Litang was covered with green grass under the blue sky. At this time, Litang was a khaki-yellow spot on the dry grass. The house, even so, Litang has a different kind of beauty. When I return to the noisy city, I think I will forget the tranquility of Tibet. I am afraid that it will arouse my desire to go again.

My 22 years started with you

At the age of 22, I set off from Chengdu for a month. I traveled across the whole of Tibet. It was the first time I went to such a cold place. My journey of more than 7,000 kilometers was completed. It was the beauty in my dream that fascinated me. Next time If you have the opportunity, you can go to more places in Tibet to see more beautiful scenery. Life is very long. If you miss an opportunity, it will be difficult to get it again. So when you want to go to a place, buy a ticket, pack your luggage and walk on the road.

Avoid eating too much when you first arrive at the plateau, keep warm, adapt to the environment before going out to play, if you are too tired or feel short of breath, breathe evenly and rhythmically (I figured it out by myself, if it doesn’t work, go to the hospital) Wear a hat (the sun is big It's really big, the wind is really strong, and the cold is really cold), sunglasses, border defense card

Sunscreen, facial mask mask (I just don’t bring enough, I’m a rough guy in Ali), everything for hydration can be brought, warm baby (I bring it is useless), remember to seek medical treatment in time for colds at plateaus, don’t delay, other All you need is to bring your usual stuff.
