            In the last lecture, we walked the Qinghai-Tibet line to Golmud. In the next few days, we will travel eastward to Maduo County, then from Maduo to the south to pay homage to Xinzhai Mani City, and then to pay homage to the Princess Wencheng Temple. From the ancient Tang-Tibet road to Leiwuqi, there is a small cycle in Qinghai, that is, the Qinghai-Tibet line and the ancient Tang-Tibet road, wouldn’t it be wonderful. Before traveling, it is necessary to do a foot trip book at home.

 1. Golmud → Maduo

 

     The next day, I started the engine at 9:00 and drove away from Golmud Hanting Restaurant and continued to walk through the Qaidam Basin. Look at the sky, it is gray and wild; . I sat in the co-pilot and watched these rolling mountains, and I still looked at these "human bodies" looking up at the sky like mountain gods with awe: Oh, that——like its head, looking down Its face, then its chest, just looking at it, thinking about it, for hours.

 The car drives through the mountains (2020.7.3-15:20 mobile phone shooting)

    Oh, the sky turned blue, the white clouds became more leisurely, a blue lake appeared in front of me, and my mood became clearer, and the car drove towards the lake ahead. The car slowly drove into the parking lot by the side of the road, and I didn't know He Ou who was looking for food in the trash can (later checked on Baidu and said it was "fish gull")? Their graceful hovering posture is very attractive. These fish gulls are a bit like the red-headed gulls on the shore of Kunming Lake, so I took out the bread, tore the bread crumbs and threw them into the air. The birds flew up and down, so leisurely, why do people That can't be the case! Nature can cultivate interest, and it can also make people forget each other in the rivers and lakes. Looking at the flying birds, I am also like a bird at this time, holding a selfie stick and running towards the lake.

Beijing-Tibet Expressway, Golmud → Maduo section. The convenience in front is Donggitsona Lake, which is located next to the road. (2020.7.3-14:25 mobile phone shooting)

      It is very common to meet this lake in the Tibetan area, but this small cycle of our trip is either the barren Hoh Xil or the snowy Kunlun Mountains. It is really joyful to encounter this clear lake. I quickly opened the Gaode map on my mobile phone, oh, there is really this lake on the map, it is called "Dongjicuona Lake". Regardless of whether it is winter or summer, I ran towards the lake quickly. I ran and had to stop, oh, there is a large wetland, there is no road, there are some footprints in the faint, look around "I don't see the ancients before" No one will come later." Well, that's all, if I fall here, it's still important to survive, so I can only take a few photos of Dongjicuola Lake from a distance.

Donggeicona Lake, also known as Toso Lake and Black Lake, is located beside the Dema Expressway. Free attractions. (2020.7.3-14:35 mobile phone shooting)

Flying fish gulls (2020.7.3-14:33 mobile phone shooting)

      Playing with these fish gulls is enough, and my throat is tearing from laughter. Continue to drive on the road, the car returns to the Dema Expressway, and still walks along the two mountain ranges. I see the mountains, and the mountains see me. After passing Huashixia Town, turn right and go south, and finally arrive at Maduo Ridge at 16:50. Township inn. At this time, people are still in the haze of the new crown. My Wuhan ID card caused me some trouble. The owner just refused to check in. The staff of the Xuxian Epidemic Prevention Station came here to check. In the era of big data, it’s great, no need More to say, my itinerary code shows that I have not entered Wuhan during the epidemic period. Thank God, I only checked in. During the epidemic, no request can be overstated. The staff let me understand their policies, and I thank them for their hard work. As a Wuhan citizen suffering from the epidemic, what else can I not understand.

  After completing the check-in procedures, I tossed and tossed my luggage again. It was getting late, and it was time to go out for food.

  Walk out of the inn and walk along the South Street. Oh, there is a statue standing in the center of the street. Take a closer look at Shiling·Gesar Theme Park. If you go around the theme park, you have to get enough food and clothing first. The two of you can watch it while walking. Well, a Jiuding beef restaurant with a lot of customers can be spoiled here. I ordered a piece of stewed beef in Zhendian, and then a bowl of beef noodles. Wow, the beef tastes really extraordinary. The store's secret juice is really eloquent. Since the Qinghai-Tibet line, it has been either hot rice or bare noodles. Today, I finally seized the opportunity. Together, I will have another piece of beef. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 4,250 meters replenishes energy Just rely on it.

   Maduo, which means "the source of the Yellow River" in Tibetan, is known as "the first county at the source of the Yellow River". This is where the rolling Yellow River originated. This time I came here not to eat beef, but to find the source of the Yellow River ——Zhaling Lake, Eling Lake.

   People say that Nazhaling Lake and Eling Lake are formed by the gathering of snow water from high mountains, without pollution, the lake water is clear and blue, and the scenery is beautiful and attractive, but they can’t go there. The country has implemented protection for these sources and prohibits tourists from entering. Thanks to us I have been mentally prepared, otherwise the shopkeeper will knock me unconscious when he tells the above news firmly. If you can’t go, don’t worry about it this time, just rest here and rest your mind.

2. Maduo → Yushu 322km

    Today's itinerary is very easy, only more than 300 kilometers to reach Yushu, no need to get up early like a donkey, simply go out for a stroll to see the scenery of Maduo, the first county at the source of the Yellow River: the county is not big, there are several streets, facing the street They are all simple two- and three-story Tibetan-style buildings. At the end, there is actually a movie theater that is rarely seen in the mainland, that is, Maduo Cinema. The altitude here is 4265 meters, it is July, and the north wind is still howling, and there are few pedestrians on the street. The two rushed to Jiuding Beef Noodle Restaurant again. He has a big bowl and I have a small bowl. The portion should be no problem.

 

         Leaving Maduo County at 9:15, the car walked through the lakes along the G214 National Road. On the right, there is a large and endless lake, that is, Zhaling Eling Xingxing Sanhu Lake. On the left, it is still a large lake. The green grass is faint, blue and green are intertwined, and large swaths of wetlands are presented in front of you. It is really full of lakes. It is said that there are 4,077 large and small lakes in Maduo County. The source of the Yellow River is really the name. The car continued to drive, and ran towards the Xili Expressway parallel to the G214 National Highway according to the navigation. Floating in the gusts of wind, Mr.H was driving the car numbly, and I was wildly fantasizing, sometimes like waves rolling, sometimes like calm water, just watching and thinking like this, Mr.H suddenly said to me, I want to eat later Just a few minutes after ordering pancakes, we saw the front of our car rushing towards the gray guardrail, and I yelled; "Attention" Mr. H suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left. Car crash accident. This is what the travel writer Hong Chen warned in the book "Off-Roading and Crossing Tibet": "The Qinghai-Tibet line with the safest and best road conditions is the "death line" with the most car accidents. Time drives on a long and boring wilderness road, and its safety is rarely guaranteed." Alert, alert! The two broke out in a sweat, Mr. H didn't feel sleepy at all, and urgently needed to find a place to soothe his frightened heart. Fortunately, after running for a few minutes, he saw a gas station in front of him, and drove past like a savior. Only then did we realize that in high-altitude areas, people are prone to starvation due to lack of oxygen, hungry and drowsy. Mr. H just closed his eyes for a second or two and almost caused a catastrophe. Not much to say, let’s quickly drum up natural food. Finished our lunch in the snowy parking lot.

 

After eating, I put all the dried fruits, refreshing plums, biscuits and pancakes that I could easily take, and the two returned to the highway again with lingering fears. I have been traveling for seven or eight years, and have traveled almost all over the country. Even the southern Sichuan-Tibet line and the Duku Highway, which are known as the most dangerous, have never made such a low-level mistake. Things that cannot be explained can only be explained by ghosts and gods. The car continued to move forward, and I stared at the front with my eyes that could no longer be opened. I got off the expressway and entered the G214 National Highway again. I came to the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve Monument, a free attraction, and two people who love money. Most will not miss similar attractions.

As a scenic spot, there is only a majestic monument carved from granite with a height of 6.621 meters standing in the scenic area. The height of the monument is 6621 meters. The eight characters "Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve" inscribed by President Jiang Zemin. There is also a viewing platform in the scenic area. Standing on the viewing platform, you can overlook the Tongtian River rolling in between the mountains. Of course, only the source of the Yangtze River is eligible for such a domineering river. The source of the Yangtze River is also the source of the Lancang River and the Yellow River. Because the Yangtze River, the Lancang River, and the Yellow River all originate in Yushu, Yushu is called "the source of the three rivers". As the most important water source in my country, a monument to the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve is set here. The meaning is far-reaching. Looking at the two giant hands raised above the stele, isn't it a warning to people to protect the "Three Rivers Source" well!

The landscape stones of the Yangtze River, Lancang River and Yellow River marked "Source of Three Rivers" are placed in front of the monument. (2020.7.3-13:50 by Mr.H)

 

     The scenic spot is not big, go up and down, look left and right, 20 minutes is enough. Go back to the parking lot and start the engine again, continue along the G214 national road, and arrive at the Yushu Shande Nima Hotel at 15:30 in the afternoon.

  Yushu, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, knows it because of the earthquake that shocked the people of the country in 2010. Apart from that, I don’t know anything about it. I often laugh at myself: 9.6 million square kilometers of great rivers and mountains, 34 provincial-level administrative regions, it is a bit extravagant to rely on this way of walking to obtain these knowledge of human geography, but for me, it is effective. During the eight or nine years after I retired, most of my daily browsing was maps. Through reading and walking, I had a feeling of "knowing what I am dying every day, and never forgetting what I can do every day. It can be said that I am eager to learn." (" According to what Zixia said, I can be regarded as a studious person, and studiousness makes my retirement life peaceful and rich. I have come to Yushu, let me take this opportunity to remediate my lack of knowledge.

   Walking out of the hotel, looking around, there are continuous mountains, and a number of novel and unique Tibetan-style buildings are built on top of the mountains, layer upon layer, which is very spectacular. Looking along the ramp, you sigh, hey, a clear river meanders here , injected spirituality into this city, what a beautiful city, Princess Wencheng who came here more than 1,000 years ago should also sigh.

      Continue to travel southward, and after crossing the Zhaqu River, you will come to the "King Gesar Square". On the square stands a colossal statue of Gesar galloping on a galloping horse. Gesar, the legendary incarnation of the Son of God, subdued demons and subdued demons all his life. For more than a thousand years, King Gesar has become an unrivaled hero that the Tibetan people are proud of, and this is the birthplace of the Tibetan heroic epic "The Legend of King Gesar". No, the current King Gesar The square has become a landmark landscape in Yushu City, Qinghai.

For thousands of years, the Tibetan people have recited it orally, and it is rooted in the folk King Gesar. (2020.7.4-18:50 by Mr.H)

 

 

    The two people wandered around the square. Most of the people on the street were Tibetan compatriots holding rosary beads and wearing Tibetan robes. I checked Baidu and found that the Tibetan population here accounts for 97.6%, and almost all people believe in Tibetan Buddhism. No wonder there are many temples here. Looking up On the north hillside, there is a magnificent building with a golden roof, halls and monks' houses. It is a magnificent temple. This is the most famous Sakya temple in Yushu - Jiegu Temple.

   Continuing to wander around, I suddenly remembered that I almost sacrificed today, and I couldn’t help but feel rewarded. The two walked into the gourmet city after spending extravagance, and ordered a dish related to blessings——“Family Portrait”, its name is good, The dishes are not flattering.

2.1 Yushu - Xinzhai Kanamani City

 

    The next day, Mr.H woke up to the sound of the rain, stretched his waist, and gave up his plan to go to Xinzhai Mani City. Based on the failed incident that happened yesterday, it was very comfortable to lie in bed and sleep late in this weather. After traveling for more than 20 days, Driving on the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for more than 10 hours every day, the physical exertion really exhausted him physically and mentally. He really wanted to rest and recharge his mind, while I went on my own excitedly.

 

Walking out of the hotel, the rain is getting heavier and heavier; the wind is getting stronger and stronger. I stood by the side of the road holding my umbrella. There were few people and cars on the street. I finally waited for a taxi for 20 minutes. A middle-aged Tibetan male compatriot, I saw his eyes, so clear and so good Clear my mind, I looked around the inside of the car again, it was very old, I asked him: "Is it difficult to make money now?" He replied "Difficult", I asked again: "Do you want to make money?" . I am silent. People may be less materialistic, and their eyes will show sincerity and less cunning. The calm and calm life attitude of Tibetans is always incomprehensible to us who are used to being busy, but it is also very enviable.

For more than ten minutes, the car stopped at the intersection of Qionglong Road, without navigation, just followed the Tibetans slowly forward, oh, the jingle of carved stones, the sound of "Om Mani Padme Hum", brought me into this place The largest mani pile in the world - Xinzhai Kanamani City.

"Mani" comes from the abbreviation of "Om Mani Padme Hum" in the Sanskrit Buddhist scripture "Six Character Mantra". It is called "Mani pile" because "Mani" is engraved on the stone. The Manidui here was built in 1715 AD, and its founder was the first living Buddha of Jiegu Temple, Jiana. It is said that this living Buddha is versatile and created more than 100 kinds of dances called "Duoding Qiuzhuo". The famous hometown of Tibetan singing and dancing originated from here. Mani City, Xinzhai, where I am now, can only be searched by adding "Jana" before Mani City on the Gaode map. It can be seen that people respectfully call this place Xinzhai Jiana Mani in memory of this living Buddha. city. Since the establishment of Manidui, Tibetan compatriots have gathered stones engraved with the six-character mantra in this folk way for 300 years, forming the current 300-meter-long, 80-meter-wide, and 4-meter-high stone. , the Shijing Wonder City, which contains 2.5 billion Mani stones, has become "the largest Mani pile in the world".

The rain is drifting, the clouds and mists are curling up in the mountains, and the colorful prayer flags are fluttering in the wind. Everything returned to silence, only the sound of the people chanting sutras and the resonating voice of the chest cavity combined together, "Om Mani Padme Hum" was like spiritual music permeating the air, and the sound stirred in the depths of the soul. It was still raining and the road was very muddy, so I followed these Tibetans around the mani pile and thought about it slowly. I remember a few years ago, when I was studying yoga philosophy, I asked my teacher about how many hours a day yogis spent reciting. Teacher Tan Mozi said very vividly: "We want to cleanse our own body. Yes, we have to take a shower and change clothes every day, otherwise we will feel uncomfortable, but have we scrubbed our souls? Then continuous chanting every day is actually a 'bath' for our souls." Yes, if you don’t believe it, then when you put your hands together in front of your chest and bow your head, a heart of humility will arise spontaneously. At this moment, you can see yourself cleansing your heart. Look at these Tibetans holding Buddhist beads and silently reciting the six-character mantra in the wind and rain, as if they are talking to everything in the world, their hearts are so quiet, and their attitudes are so pious. The calmness of life and the quiet beauty presented with the precipitation of the years.

 It is 300 meters long, 80 meters wide and 4 meters high, with about 2.5 billion mani stones piled up.

 Mani piles are also called "shen piles". These scripture stones are of different sizes and shapes, just like the masterpieces of artists. (2020.7.5-10:35 mobile phone shooting)

The most common mani stones are the six-character mantra in Tibetan. It is said that there are tens of thousands of mani stones engraved with laws, calendars, artistic discourses and various Buddha statues and complete Buddhist scriptures. The scriptures are nearly 20 billion words. , also known as "the world's first stone carving library". (2020.7.5-10:26 mobile phone shooting)

 The devout Tibetans firmly believe that as long as they persevere in engraving scriptures that they read silently day and night on stones, these stones will have a supernatural spirituality and bring them auspiciousness.

 

     The rain fell and rested from time to time, and my umbrella was also retracted and released accordingly. I just followed them and turned the mani pile sacredly, just like what Teacher Tan Mozi said to take a "bath" for myself, so that I can have a moment of tranquility . Two hours later, I saw some small shops next to Mani Dui, all of which were opened by locals. This is my favorite place to wander around. Hey, there is a rich middle-aged woman in front of the counter I was matching some accessories for the beads she was wearing. Fortunately, she could speak Chinese. She showed me the black beads she was wearing, and said that the beads brought her good fortune. The shop owner joked in unproficient Chinese: "She is blessed. Her husband is the head of the government, and her children work in the government. She counts money every day when she goes home after transferring scriptures." I was a little puzzled. Give it to her, it’s not that she counts money at home every day.” We all laughed, and I also joked: “It’s so amazing, your blessing is really what I want.” Okay, then I will come first like you A string of gold Yeti Buddhist beads from Indonesia. The beads were finalized. The Tibetan sister told me how to configure them. I smiled and replied, "I'm all on you." She agreed, "Since you trust me so much, I will I will make a good selection for you" and said, "Look, the three turquoises you need must be of the same size and texture." She continued to choose from the blue lakes on the market. It must be consistent, otherwise it will be incongruous if they are placed on both sides of turquoise and beeswax respectively. She explained to me while choosing. I'll pay you, beeswax 40 yuan/g." This price is indeed fair. I asked about the price when I was in Lhasa, and it seemed to be 200 yuan per gram. He continued: "25 yuan/g for turquoise and blue lake." Both parties confirmed After setting the price, the shop owner weighed the scales and began to string beads. After a while, a pair of red, yellow, green and black beads appeared in front of my eyes. Oh, it was amazing and beautiful. The shop owner’s wife saw me so happy and gave me a silver Chinese knot. Decorated on the beads, I thanked them loudly in Tuqiqi, a Tibetan language I just learned, and everyone laughed knowingly. Oh, I don’t know when I was surrounded by Tibetans watching the fun, haha, at this time , I fell into a minority.

My prayer beads (2020.7.5-10:10 mobile phone shooting)

       Wearing the newly purchased prayer beads, I thanked them again and walked out of the small shop. Who said that only Tibetans like these naturally formed prayer beads, and I like them as much. Hey, there are more and more Tibetans, and the smoke is accompanied by the fragrance of plants. After asking, I found out that today is the fifth day of May-the Tibetan people's simmering mulberry festival. Oh, I am so destined for Buddha. 

Simmering mulberry is the oldest and most popular ritual of the Tibetan people. "Sang" originally means "cleaning, eliminating, expelling" and other purification. Well, what are you doing in the Holy Land, isn't it to purify yourself? Followed by the Tibetans who were going ahead, they hurriedly bought some cypress branches, and the tsampa powder joined the team of burning mulberry. Following their example, they first put the cypress branches in the mulberry furnace and ignited them, and then sprinkled the tsamba powder, After reciting the mantra, the villagers continued to turn the holy place Manidui in their hearts. I put my hands together and watched the rising mulberry smoke, praying that the simmering smoke can drive away the evil and epidemics in the world and make the world a better place.

2.2 Yushu - Jiegu Temple

   

   After lunch break, open the curtains, oh, the sun is shining! In such a fine weather, I didn't want to lie on the bed in a daze, so I got up and walked to the Jiegu Temple behind the hotel.

After getting out of the hotel, I followed the navigation for a while to climb uphill and then climbed the steps. I finally passed through the residential area and looked at the Jiegu Temple standing on the top of the mountain. It is not easy to climb to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 3,700 meters. Fortunately, I There is a lot of time to walk slowly and watch slowly, continue to climb up along Jiegu Temple Road, oh, the shining golden roof of the red temple is just above the front, I will take a look at the small Tibetan style on the right hand White Pagoda, take a look at the layers of monk houses on the left. What a quiet place, this is really a good place to read sage books.

Stop and go, and arrive at the Golden Temple in half an hour. Could it be that today is the Sang Sang Festival, and the Golden Hall and the Sutra Hall are closed at 4:30. Look around, there are very few people in the temple, and I want to find a guide. If you fail, then wander around by yourself. From the main hall, the scripture hall to the monk’s house, and then wandering around to the back mountain, when I didn’t know where to go, I met a little Tibetan boy. During the conversation, I learned that he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I was very attracted to Zhaofeng's ears and the plateau red that is unique to Tibetan children on the cheeks. I asked, "Can I take a picture of you with my mobile phone?" He replied unlike other children, "I don't like it." Take a photo" I said: "Okay." What a special child, I asked again: "What do you want to do when you grow up?" He replied: "I want to be a monk." I asked again: "Why?" He replied: " My uncle’s child is a monk, he is very wise, I envy him very much.” His answer made me ponder for a long time, the pursuit of wisdom is the goal of human’s incomprehensible efforts, I remember the “Ji Shaoju Analects Explanation” launched by “Himalaya” In the book, Ji Shaoju once said that there are two kinds of books that a person must read in his life, one of which is the Buddhist scriptures. A child in the fourth grade of elementary school knows the importance of pursuing wisdom. Compared with it, what else can there be except shame! When I told this story to a friend, he straightaway said that this is Tibetan.

My understanding of the monastery originated in 2019. That was the first time I visited Ganden Monastery in Lhasa. I was very fortunate to meet a Tibetan expert, Mr. Danda, who taught me some knowledge about Buddhism and related monasteries. , he told me that monasteries are actually higher comprehensive universities that you Han people talk about. For example, famous monasteries like Ganden Monastery are similar to your Peking University and Tsinghua University, but the disciplines offered are different. Monasteries generally offer a statement (linguistics) ), Yinming (Logic), Yifangming (Medicine), Gongqiaoming (Technology), Neiming (Buddhism), etc. It usually takes 5`8 years for students to complete their studies, and the students they train are high-level Tibetan intellectuals, so Whose children can enter such a monastery to study, just like your children are admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, which makes the neighbors envious. This subverted my understanding of the monastery only chanting scriptures and meditating. From then on, I prefer to walk into it and listen to the sound of these students reading aloud.

As for Jiegu Temple, it is also well-known in Tibetan areas. There have been many eminent monks in history. The most famous ones are Gyana Living Buddha, the founder of the above-mentioned "Xinzhai Gyanamanidui", and the ninth Panchen Lama. He died here on his way back to Tibet in 1937. The introduction of Jiegu Temple can be found on Baidu, so I won't go into details.

     Turned around every part of Jiegu Temple, climbed to the highest point again, and looked down at the whole city surrounded by mountains: I saw a city with green mountains and lush trees in front of me, that kind of "trees are as precious as jade" The era of "Yushu" has also become history, and Yushu has flourished again after the earthquake.

      As night fell slowly, the quiet square was boiling again. Men and women Tibetans formed a circle and danced a cheerful Guozhuang dance. I paced and slowly enjoyed the happiness they brought me. When the music ended, why not The weather has changed, and the climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in July can change as soon as it is said. A gust of wind is so cold. I tightened my down jacket and returned to the hotel resolutely facing the wind.

2.3 Yushu—Princess Wencheng Temple

    The Tang-Tibetan Ancient Road stretches for 3,000 kilometers. Like the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, it has survived through the ages and has been praised for thousands of years. However, it also follows the progress of history, just like the Silk Road. It is difficult for people to find the yellow road in history. The sandy and difficult road is also like the ancient tea-horse road. We can only vaguely find the hoofprints of the caravans. Now we run from Maduo County along the G214 National Highway to Yushu City, and it is difficult to find the ancient Tangbo road. Fortunately, today, the Princess Wencheng Temple located in Bainagou, south of Jiegu Town, is one of the important cultural relics of the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road. Today's task is to pay homage to Princess Wencheng Temple.

Hey, come here for whatever you are afraid of. I went out early today. I moved the car to a place where it is easy to get out of the garage last night. I saw it in the morning. Hey, I don’t know which Tibetan compatriot’s car is blocking our car. Yo, with acrobatic skill the car was removed within a hair's breadth of the pillar, thank goodness nothing went wrong, and finally set off at 8:04.

The car left Yushu and continued to drive south along the G214 national road. After more than 20 minutes, the car drove into a canyon. The mountains were criss-crossed and covered with five-color prayer flags layer by layer. Oh, it should not be far from the Princess Temple Okay, go, wow! So holy! The flying five-color prayer flags greet you overwhelmingly, and you follow it as if the gods are leading us to a holy place.

When I came to the temple, I saw a temple with a red wall and a golden roof clinging to the cliff. When I entered the gate, I realized that it was a courtyard. Princess Temple! After a few steps, I entered the main hall, and saw nine Buddha statues chiseled on the rock wall directly above the hall. In the hall is the Dainichi Tathagata Buddha about 8 meters high. Oh, it’s not Princess Wencheng. Rows of butter lamps are twinkling and placed on the altar. It has lit up the temples where fireworks have been constantly lit for thousands of years, and the butter lamps have been bright and dark day and night. Undoubtedly, it has also lit up people's hearts for thousands of years.

After lighting the butter lamp, I knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and looked up at the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha on the lotus seat. She was so dignified and kind, and an indescribable tear burst out of my eyes in an instant. I took the tissue paper handed to me by the monk, He wiped away his tears with all his strength, so powerful. No wonder people say that his blessing power is equal to the golden Sakyamuni Buddha statue in the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa.

After leaving the temple, I still think of Princess Wencheng 1300 years ago: a weak woman, from Chang'an, a prosperous city, via Xining, over the Riyue Mountain, wading down the Tang River, trekking 3000 kilometers, shouldering the burden of Tang and Tibetan friendship. Mission married Songtsen Gampo of Tubo. The princess who left her loved ones must have tears in her eyes, but she doesn't complain, what is she relying on, is it the Buddhist power she believed in since she was a child! In the existing literature, we know that she did not complain, but spared no effort to teach the people along the way during the long journey: how to farm and teach textile technology, and brought the Central Plains culture to the Tibetans. This is when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet. In the place where the stagnation is the longest, Tibetans in the Tang Dynasty set up a temple here to commemorate her, and worshiped the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, taking the meaning of "Da Ri" to get rid of all darkness, and let the sun's brilliance illuminate all things in the universe and nourish everything in the world. biology.

  After leaving the Princess Wencheng Temple, it can be said that our travel mission on the Tang-Fan Ancient Road has been completed, but we still need to write it down as our own travel records. Next, we will continue southward to Leiwuqi, where we will stay tonight.

 

    After the task is completed, I feel relaxed. I still held up my mobile phone to take pictures and videos while he was driving, and changed my limited skills. I only stayed in Yushu for two days, and it seems that I haven’t run on the road for a long time. Take a look God, look at the clouds, it's cool. At 11:30, the archway of "Qinghai people welcome you" was ushered in. Hey, we entered Tibet again along the G214 national highway.

    The car ran for another 4 hours. I looked at my watch and it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I quickly found an open space to open the folding table, set up the Cass stove, cooked instant noodles, and then put in the eggs that the hotel was not willing to eat at breakfast, and the fragrant noodles after a while It's ready. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the yaks ate grass leisurely, while we ate hot noodles while enjoying the beautiful scenery, it was still very harmonious.

    After eating, the scenery here is good, with rolling mountains and clusters of green bushes that have not been seen for many days. When you are happy, stretch your legs and bend your waist to exercise your muscles and bones.

    After cleaning up the pots, pans and ladles, continue southward. At 15:30, we ushered in the welcome archway of "Tibet Little Switzerland Charming Leiwuqi". Oh, we are getting closer and closer to the destination.

Leiwuqi means "big mountain" in Tibetan, and its name comes from the Deqing Pozhang sacred mountain behind the "Chajma Hall". This is the intersection of G214 and G317 national highways. You need to live here whether you are entering Tibet or leaving Tibet. This hotel has a large parking lot, so most self-driving guests live here. This is the best place to check the road conditions. Traveling to Sichuan and Tibet This homework is a must. At this time, we were unloading our luggage, and five or six people in a nearby car were busy carrying their luggage, asking the driver for his opinion from time to time. We were trying to find out the road ahead, so that the driver could start a conversation. It turned out that he was not the driver, but the driver. It was the leader of their team, who had just finished the Xinzang line and started to return to Beijing. He also drove more than 10 hours to arrive here today. I asked, "There are many people in the same party, why don't you drive in rotation?" He said: "Others I’m not familiar with his car, so I’m worried.” Good health, I asked: “How old are you? What job did you do before?” The answer: “67 years old, a veteran” and said: “We have traveled four times The Red Army Road, and there is a book "Revisiting the Red Army Road" "It's amazing! I admire from the bottom of my heart, it is really beyond the sky. Writing this episode, it was the story of this great man in Beijing that let me know: Why some people are dull and passive when they return to their families from society, while some people will live their retirement life happily, it still depends on each person Have a different attitude towards life.

Mr. H also drove for 11 hours today, and he is one of the best. This is a passing point. I stayed here last year, so there is no need to wander around. It is OK to have a rice bowl in the hotel restaurant.

3. Leiwuqi→Sichuan Dege 410km 11h30m

 

    I had a good rest last night, and I was refreshed again in the morning. I hurried to the restaurant to eat a bowl of hot Sichuan noodles.

The car slowly drove away from Leiwuqi. The scenery ahead was good, with clouds and mist, new roads, and beautiful lights. Oh, why didn’t you have this vision last year? Continue to move forward, and soon step on the Sichuan-Tibet North Line, which is the G317 National Highway, and start running eastward towards home. Oh, there are more and more green, eye-catching. When you arrive in Qamdo at 10 o'clock, start walking close to the mountain, along the Walking in the water; at 12:40, after eating a self-heating meal by the creek, resting for a while and continuing on; at 16:34, the car slowly drove through Jiangda County; The memorial archway of "Kangba Jiangda" saw the Jinsha River again. After crossing the bridge in front, it was within the territory of Sichuan; when rows of trees with luxuriant branches and leaves came, Dege County arrived, and arrived at Dege Que'er at 19:30 Mountain Hotel.

    Tired, too tired, it was already 8:30 p.m. after unpacking the luggage. Although it is only a few minutes away from the Dege Sutra Printing House, based on the visit last year, let’s forget it this time. As I write this, hey, my history owes too much: I have entered Tibet three times in a row, and I have completed all seven domestic routes to Tibet, but what about the records? We have only completed the writing of the southern Sichuan-Tibet route, the Yunnan-Tibet route, the Qinghai-Tibet route, and the ancient Tang-Tibet route, and strive to complete the travel records of the Bingchacha and Xinzang routes this year, including the northern Sichuan-Tibet route, so Dege Sutra Printing Institute will Included in the chapter of "Walking in Tibet-Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line". If anyone sees this place, he strongly recommends to visit the "Dege Sutra Printing House", which will have a different harvest.

If you want to live in a good and delicious place, Queershan Hotel is a good choice but a bit expensive. We choose it because of the convenience of parking. When going out, it is very important to protect the car.

    The two are also a small team. The captain Mr. H ordered in the morning: There are few scenic spots along the Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line. I ran there again last year. If there are no special sights worth seeing, I will go on my way. I have to obey. Who told you not to master the steering wheel? Woolen cloth. Departure at 8:10, continue to go east along G317, one hour later he shouted that the scenery ahead is good: I saw three or two simple huts under the mountains, and yaks grazing leisurely. We stopped the car and walked slowly towards the hut.

      12:15 Pass Ganzi County, continue to raise the whip and set off, oh, I don’t know what scenic spot is ahead, there is a big parking lot, and there are not many people, this is a good place to have lunch, after eating instant noodles, climb up the hill, wow , boundless, flowers blooming grassland, mountains, lakes, no one, so good, I enjoy the beauty of the grassland. I don’t know how many grasslands I have traveled in the past few years, but I have never caught up with the most beautiful season of the grassland. Today, I seized the opportunity and picked up the selfie stick. For a while, I was holding scissors, and lying on my back on the ground for a while. How excited I was when I took pictures. At this moment, I knew: How important it is to please yourself first and please yourself! From this day on, when I am at home, I will always buy myself a bouquet of flowers and place them in the corner of the living room, so that I can keep a happy heart every day.

        At 17:08, it took 9 hours to drive slowly into Wengda Town, Seda County. I stayed because I passed through Seda last year, and this year I can see different scenery in another place. This small town is not big, but its houses are different from other places: the stone building is not strange, but the top floor is surrounded by plants like rattan, which is like this in every house. Bearing in mind the great achievements of Gesar's loyal and beloved General Serwa, he cleverly used local building materials to build a series of Tibetan houses that resemble the images of heroes: the two windows resemble human eyes, and the upside-down woven wicker resembles the hair of a warrior. , the whole building resembles a human body. What a special town.

 

5. Wengda Town, Seda County → Li County, Aba Prefecture 312km 9h

       Today is the 25th day of travel. We have entered the fatigue period of travel. During the epidemic period, there are few tourists. We are the only ones in this Wengda Hotel. There is no shouting for friends and friends in the past. We sleep peacefully until we wake up naturally. After eating Hot egg and beef noodles, starting at 9:00.

As I write this, if I hadn’t opened the diary and photos of the day, I would have forgotten the difficulty of walking this route, and thought that I had been returning home with a clear sky and a smooth wind. It seems that writing records is necessary.

We set off and walked along the rugged mountain road. Oh, it was raining in the sky. It was gray and the rain was getting heavier. There were landslides on both sides of the mountain. In the landslides and landslides caused by it, I stared at the mountain in front of me with my eyes wide open, observing whether the stones rolled down. Don't hesitate, if you have no bottom in your heart, it is best to follow the team. On this road, I was holding my heart and courage: seeing a falling rock, my heart trembled for a long time; seeing a car accident, I doubted my life.

      Passing through Malkang City at 14:30, bid farewell to the landslide and mudslide section, and returned to the original place, and arrived at Xinling Bipeng Villa in Li County at 17:20. The villa is very large, with pavilions, pavilions, flowers, plants and fruit trees. It is elegantly and warmly decorated. If it were not affected by the epidemic, there would be no crowds these days. The accommodation is also so cheap that you can’t believe it. 81 yuan includes breakfast?

6. Li County, Aba Prefecture → Luoba Ancient Town, Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province 419km 7h20m

 

    The next day, thinking that even the restaurants here are closed during the epidemic, there will be no breakfast, so let's cook some porridge with a health pot. After the meal, I was carrying my luggage. I saw the proprietress rushing over with the milk, bread and freshly boiled eggs. At this time, holding the hot eggs, I feel warm in my heart. We are the best in the Tibetan area. Don't use your own fixed thinking to judge the straight and straight of the Tibetans.

At 8:40, we broke up and held the hot eggs and drove out of the villa. We walked on National Highway 317 and entered the Rongchang Expressway. Kindly, please take a photo as a souvenir. The car continued to drive towards the southeast, looking at the mountains and passing through the tunnel along the way, and arrived at Qinyuan Hotel in Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province at 16:00.

After running on the road for 4 consecutive days, I finally arrived early today. This is not a coincidence, but the proud work of Mr. H, who is always pursuing the best cost-effectiveness: after running for several days, he must choose one on the way back. Scenic spots, that is, rest your feet and watch the scenery, and it is not the best of both worlds, it is best that the scenic spots are free. No, the ancient town of Xiba, located at the junction of Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou, is in his arms.

A few steps away from Qinyuan Hotel, we entered the ancient town of Xiaoba. At this time, the sky was gray and it was raining patteringly. There were few tourists in the ancient town, and the shops were running a small business. The small brown and black tiles and the mossy curbs have the charm of an ancient town: it is said that this ancient town began in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was an important station on the ancient road from Bashu to Yunnan and Guizhou Yelang. It has become a national 4A scenic spot. It is said that more than 20 film and television dramas have been filmed here. I don’t often watch film and television dramas. "The charm.

Xiba Ancient Town (2020.7.10-17:00 taken by mobile phone)

        The ancient town is not big, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with scattered heights. It is really comfortable to walk in the ancient town without commercialization. It is only more than 1,000 meters from one end to the other. Take a look at this small shop on the left, which sells Ren Yaopo's red tofu , water fermented soy beans; look at the shop on the right, selling Da Po Ren's sweet potato powder. I have been eating rice for many days, so I should stimulate my sense of taste and reward my stomach, so I walked into the "He Sanhong Soup Mutton Restaurant" with a yellow cover. The taste of the authentic local black goat is nothing special. But the store’s homemade red bean curd made me wow. I said to the boss, “One more piece, it will be delicious with this hot pot.” After eating, I spent 30 yuan to buy a large bottle of red fermented bean curd, and kept it at home to eat.

The ancient street is more than 1,000 meters long, and there are more than 2,000 small green tile houses, most of which were built in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. (2020.7.10-17:13 mobile phone photo)

It is said that the movie "Dahong Rice Shop" tells the story here. (2020.7.10-17:25 by Mr.H)

       The red, yellow or white banners hanging in the ancient town are the most attractive. Most of the shops in the ancient town are homemade red and white fermented bean curd, radish pickles, yellow rice cakes and handmade sweet potato flour. The taste is OK. Spicy and sour are very Sichuan flavors. We like to wander around these places the most. We will taste the ones from the east and the west, and we will buy some if we like it. This is not the picture below. We are looking at the handmade sweet potato flour of Aunt Ren’s. The store is very enthusiastic, with Baba’s eyes, I don’t know why I accidentally took this photo, and when I looked at this photo again, I sighed: Handmade sweet potato flour, 15 yuan a catty, I bought a big bag for 55 yuan, I paid She gave the money and the goods, and there were some sincere smiles at each other. When we finished our round and passed the store again, the woman had another face—a very indifferent face. Hu and I looked at each other and smiled: "Sophisticated people, what do you lose if you nod your head!". There is a saying: read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles. But it is also interesting to know all kinds of things in the world while traveling. There is no praise or criticism here, just a sigh. However, the handmade vermicelli is really good, and it is worth recommending to use it to make seafood stew or ants climbing trees in Sichuan cuisine.

 

At this time, it is very "enthusiastic store". (2020.7.10-17:14 mobile phone shooting)

       After eating and drinking enough, I returned to the hotel with sweet potato powder. Today's task was completed early, and I fell asleep after washing up.

 

7. Luoba Ancient Town, Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province → Guiyang 393km 6h

    I slept until I woke up naturally, the sky was already bright, today's itinerary was easy, and the whole journey was high-speed. As a co-pilot, I dare not run on mountain roads, and it is still very slippery to run at high speed. Walking around, I came to the ancient town again. I had a piece of yellow rice cake to taste. After breakfast, I couldn’t help but bought some dried radish and pickled vegetables, red and white fermented bean curd, and served it with porridge at home.

 

 Leaving Xiba at 9:00, heading southeast through mountains and ridges all the way, staying at Home Inn in Huaxi, Guiyang at 15:00. When we came to Huaxi, of course we went to look for the authentic Huaxi beef noodles. The 40 yuan beef noodles were so delicious and generous that we had to walk four miles with our stomachs and buttocks to relax our stomachs and return to the hotel. Ended the 27th day of the itinerary.

 

8. Guiyang → Dali Dong Village, Rongjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture 246km 4h40m

   The Huaxi Beef Noodles are still very hungry. You don’t need to eat breakfast. You just took the simple breakfast provided by the hotel, that is, yogurt, egg, bread, and apples, and started on the road. At 8:10, you started the engine and ran on the highway again. After running for a few hours, Xia Rong turned around National Highway 356, oh, the car started to circle up the mountain road, and saw verdant shrubs and towering old trees on both sides of the road. The "Pearl of the Deep Mountain" in the green mountains, about 30 minutes, finally saw the archway of the Dali Dong Village, let's come down and take pictures.

 

 

 

 

    Pass the archway, and then walk for a few minutes to arrive at today's accommodation - Lin's Inn. The inn is located at the entrance of the village, and the location is excellent. The village parking lot is in front of its door. After parking, you can walk into the Lin's Inn and look forward to the real estate transaction. After renting the house, I asked the proprietress what lunch she had, and she said that there was a family that raised live chickens. I don’t know what’s going on: Maybe I’m tired of staying in the city, and I want to eat free-range chickens and buy free-range eggs when I see free-range eggs. The feeling of sweeping the village, so let’s slaughter a chicken, eat two chickens, cook soup and braise in soy sauce, explain it well, walk out of the inn with your legs and go around the Dong village first.

 

      After wandering around for an hour, the chicken was cooked and the soup was ready. We started to eat the Dong-flavored dishes made by the proprietress for us. The roasted chicken nuggets and peppers were a bit interesting and a pity. The chicken was still Cantonese-style salt-baked The white-cut chicken has a pure taste.

   After the lunch break, I seriously started wandering around the Dong Village.

    Going out is the Wind and Rain Bridge, which is the landmark building of the Dong village. I saw this bridge leisurely and horizontally across the creek. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years. Although there is no wind or rain at this time, Mr. .H is still sitting on the bridge very leisurely, looking for the feelings of the old man in the Dong village.

      Our two legs are the most worthless, what are they used for, isn’t it just for walking? At this time, we walked along the ancient stone road and looked around, almost every corner of the village. The village is very quiet, mostly elderly women With children, the elderly sit by the door or play with their own chickens and ducks, while the women quietly weave embroidery, what a peaceful life.

These ancient stone roads have been around for some time, and it is said that they were built in the 58th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. (2020.7.12-13:32Mr.H mobile phone shooting)

    Stop and go, oh, the Drum Tower, another landmark building of the Dong village, it also has some history, according to the data, it was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and the stone building at the lower left corner of the Drum Tower is the ancient Sa It is said that this altar and drum tower are uniquely powerful. Surrounding the Drum Tower is a small square, which is also a place for large-scale activities of Dong village people to hold sacrifices here.

   Continue to walk along the Shuixi River and walk along the ancient stone road, and you will see layers of wooden buildings with blue tiles, surrounded by mountains and rivers, row upon row. Louyuan, a total of two to three hundred families built the Dali Dong Nationality Ancient Building Complex. This village hidden in the deep valley of the mountains was rated as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council in 2013, and was included in the Chinese World Cultural Heritage in 2006. Preliminary list. For tourists, the tranquility here and the ecological environment of the original residents are exactly what we like, and the attractions are free, so it is even more joyful.

       An hour later, go out of the gate of the village, go up the mountain road, walk to the archway one mile away, and find a commanding height to overlook the mighty Lizhai area of ​​the Rongjiang Dali ancient building complex. Deep, what a place hidden in the deep valley of Rongjiang Dali ancient buildings.

       As night fell slowly, smoke was rising from the houses in the ancient village. We put away our cameras and returned to the inn. The proprietress warmed up the chicken soup for us and gave us two pieces of home-grown corn. The combination of dry and thin was very good.

end:

 

    The long journey is coming to an end!

 

July 13, 2020 is the 29th day of our trip. On this day, we will travel another 895km to get home!

Egg noodles for breakfast, as I mentioned above, devils always want to "search" something when they enter the village. There are no native eggs, and the corn without pesticides tastes good. I threw half a bag of corn bought for 26 yuan in the car. , then shook hands with the boss of the Lin family and said goodbye, and set off. People are very strange. After staying outside for a long time, the tiredness of running around makes people miss home; after staying at home for a long time, I really want to find the feeling that time flies. The most ideal state of life is: half a year in the study, half a year traveling.
