Tibet, the majority of young people in the eyes of the south is a mystery, full of attractive geographical. It's desolate, and almost pristine ecosystem in our hearts to create a Yigu return to nature, the release of self, access to new desires. But also with a fear of many people's attention to the treatment of those who live in the Tibetan Plateau snow, thinking that they are representative of wild and wild, it seems that their life is full of bloodshed and killing. I remember a child read a movie "Snow Tears", the film has dug eyes, a man Pigu introduction, as well as CCTV broadcast in 1999 over a film introducing the history of Tibet also has a similar introduction, read indeed Bone Song Ran hair feeling. But now I want to say is, do not think so. Tibet mysterious it is that you do not set foot on a ridge overlooking the plains. Tibet's bloody it is that you do not enter the temple to explore the history. Only after wading traversed the icy river, then back everything in Tibet will be floating to the light shining crystal scales river and show to you.
Terrestrial lines to Tibet, time, cost and physical conditions into Tibet now has four lines, namely, the Qinghai-Tibet Highway (Qinghai Xining as a starting point, 109 National Highway, full 1938 kilometers), the new-Tibet Highway (Xinjiang Urumqi as a starting point, 219 National Highway, full 3039 kilometers), Chuan Zang Road (Chengdu, Sichuan as a starting point, 318 National Highway, full 2410 kilometers), Yunnan-Tibet Highway (Kunming, Yunnan Province as a starting point, 320,214 National Highway, full 3639 kilometers, in fact, this distance should be considered to Markam take the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in!). Thus far, China is investing in making one from Xinjiang Kashgar to Lhasa railway, I heard that 60 years had already started to plan for such things, and now finally put into practical action. Tibet's history might be rewritten again, so just want to do this, do not overlook the impact of this on the local environment.
I chose to go into Tibet Qinghai-Tibet line.
If you live in Suzhou or Shanghai-Nanjing line, including the Hangzhou region, my friends have plans to go to Tibet and who wants to go into Tibet Qinghai-Tibet line, you can choose from Shanghai to Urumqi, 52 trains, bumps about 36 hours (night 9 pm around the grid, around 5:00 into the third day) after the sat down, Lanzhou, Gansu, and then from Lanzhou to Golmud transfer train. If you want to first go to play the Tar Monastery in Xining and Qinghai Lake to Xining, get off it! Because I did not stay in Xining accommodation, so there is no understanding of the local hotel room situation. Xining has Internet cafes, but only found two. Xining, the night of 7-8 months have been very cool, and attention to cold. There are many the same as the Mainland, a small supermarket, you can start the car to supplement their food, fruits are very cheap, of course, refers to the melons. Banana is still expensive!
In Xining play to 2-3 days, and then choose to go by car line of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, or continue to take the train to Golmud and then transfer vehicles (Xining day trip night around 6 o'clock train to Golmud, the fare was 59 million). I chose to take the bus to go a long line of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway (fares may be discussed with the driver, but not insurance, because once someone bids higher than you, band of Moslems will immediately want you to get off, or let you make up the difference. Prices in the 240 -300 million). In fact, I was on the train have been cheated in Xining car down from Chengdu on a retro-breaking train bound for Lhasa, and because it was like to point in time in advance to Lhasa, the result of his on when. He promised to me in 54 hours after the car can be moved into the city of Lhasa, in fact, was this car ran a total of 4 days 4 nights only to Lhasa. Therefore, I advise you the insurance that is still the first train to Golmud, and then pulls cars up.
Compared with the southern city of Golmud be considered a small town. Room and board are relatively inexpensive, usually spend the night in 10-20 yuan. Eating mutton Tonga Hanamaki also two 8 yuan, it will not be less than half a catty bowl of lamb's! A bath is even more expensive, and 2 yuan a hot hot shower, even made a small soap, shampoo seagulls. Played very cheap, 4 yuan starting at 5-6 yuan can run the whole city had. 3 also many 3-4 yuan a lot of road that can run! And here, a trishaw driver, and our only difference is that they are not staring at you like flies want you to take his car. And Jiang Yuan Road, staggered one on the streets of the north there are many military stores, but also where to buy "Rhodiola" oral or Chinese medicine (Tibetan??). Golmud long-distance railway station is also on that street. Before 8 am on the street no people to go out alone at night pay attention to safety, said that law and order over chaos. Air dry and fresh on the streets does not matter if no wind, windy on the date Fui Sha. Quite hot during the day, the night cool, an elevation of 3,200, pay attention to UV!
Out of Golmud city when I looked at road signs that read "- Lhasa, 986 kilometers." I asked the driver about 40 kilometers per hour after 24 hours should be counted in Lhasa. Answer my driver to wait until at least after the days to! And the way to the Yangbajing the repair should be diverted away from the forest-week trip is about 1,200 km. Driving through the Kunlun Pass only after the car window to see a desolate plain. 5 Liang night car stopped! The driver did not dare take the risk of a late train. The next day, after I had Tanggula, Tracy plateau response to more serious, and have a Amdo still not improve, and I made the decision in the Nagqu off!
Nagqu is a new county, the whole town on a crossroads. Land is the mud, trying to fix. Mud on the road can be flooded my pair of Marine boots feet! Tracy was an officer, so we first request for accommodation of the Nagqu subdistricts treatment for Tracy. The second night because of the military head to visit the military sub-Chen teaches us a good placement in a local hotel - Wan Xing Hotel. The hotel accommodation is worse than the depot where more. The cost of one night ranged from 45-70. Nagqu Sichuanese many are going to do business. Wan-Xing Chen, a guesthouse owner in Sichuan open. Where the waitress is also a Sichuan MM, eyes wide open, come from the Fuling. Mainland people to see our words of Tingduo, and also took a lot of snacks out of my taste. Nagqu has no water-pipe, no sewers, so washing is not too convenient. I was afraid to eat greasy that may lead to altitude sickness, so did not dare eat anything, basically thin rice gruel, or dry food stave off hunger. Hug at the hotel under the Sichuan restaurant point had a sweet and sour pork ribs, tasteless, and basic did not move anything! Price may more expensive than the mainland, and 25 yuan ah!
In Nagqu day after the rest, I and Tracy got on a 5-ton Dongfeng diesel vehicles, driving is two Zhangye drivers. They say I can only understand half, Ha ha! People are very readily, I opened the price of 50 yuan a person did not say a car immediately launched a! And along the way has always told us to drive the story, speaking of his wife and children. Stood I have never heard a singer singing. The road landscape beautiful, blue sky, white clouds, the karst-type rolling majestic mountains stand tall and magnificent; sunlight suffused with light, water Chuanji torrents scale, vertical and horizontal miles; flocks of sheep and cattle in the hills, plains stroll leisurely This is like heaven and earth is their ideal world in general; there was snow lotus standing roadside holding a little girl, dark eyes are so clear and deep, it seems that the pain of earthly happiness that she has been resolved. . . . . Until now, the regular scenes will appear in my dreams.
Bumpy 15 hours after, he drove to the eastern suburbs of Lhasa city. Is already 11 pm by. Tracy and I came to playing the center of Lhasa. Carrying dusty backpack, breaking the "Shambhala" hotel security stopped, checked into the inside of the standard room, 400 yuan a night (large hematemesis ah)!
