Writing is really good hard work, come home yesterday, 23:00. Until I was close until 1:50 in hand. Would also like to go to work! The results really do not want to get up at 7:30 before them. Fortunately, one woke up on the spirit of another. Today, finally hit the road.
Car out of Golmud City, and soon Shui on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. As we are developing the western region, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway construction at full capacity, so it feels just Sheung is actually quite a lot of people and vehicles. And the driver know that this two-year Master's chat will rush to the hundreds of thousands of army of railroad workers, plus hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, in fact, was just Golmud City only thousands of people, can imagine the situation now has. As the excitement, after this more than 1000 kilometers of the only places where we have a toll station and get off even forgot to take a picture with the film. Not believe that this long road toll is only 10 yuan. My God, all the people have no one to believe, and everyone stared, really want to find a receipt. This is our group of tourists came east is simply incredible thing. Slowly, the more incredible things Yue Lai had. From here until the Nagqu, cell phones will become a decoration, so each person to seize this last opportunity to home, to a friend Paul had a safe. I gave Mom say that I have arrived in Sichuan, where the ravine, and soon there will not be cell phone signals, and asked her to worry. Do not know if she really be able to rest assured that I was a little bit anyway, is not very reassuring feeling.
The car driving straight at the wide asphalt road, and does not bumps, and the Mainland, there is no difference between high-grade kilometers, we can say even better, it is a hard road to the plateau in the conservation of the first batch of road construction workers and the People's Liberation Army are. On both sides of the road you can sometimes see the various Railway Engineering Bureau of the construction site. To be honest, feel that they have destroyed the beautiful scenery of the plateau. Five years later, we can sit on the train to Lhasa in. But if you are a real travel enthusiasts, I hope you will take place as soon as possible, so as to understand the landscape that are not destroyed and feelings. Kind of gives a feeling of shock Xin Sui. Our camp today is 421 kilometers away from the source of the Yangtze River Bridge, the location of the first Tuotuohe. For security reasons, we ask drivers not to burn the midnight oil, so we have to strive to 9 o'clock arrived there before the sun was setting. (Due to more rely on the motherland, where the western and eastern Therefore, there are about two hours time difference.) Bolted all the way, although in the plateau, Beijing Jeep performance indeed also allows us not to worry. Began to run run-in, no more than 60 kilometers per hour, gradually come into no great speed over 80 km of the next. Since starting this road well, so that all vehicles are open crazy, whether Mitsubishi, Toyota, or a fully loaded big wind. That's the reason, just out of Golmud 30 kilometers, we encountered the first from a car accident. Turn to a Santana on the ground, the glass broken in one place. The people have not see the car, and the accident cars disappeared. Our driver master told me that every day, there will be such a situation, people may be gone. Yida Tiao our shock, so sitting in front of my seat firmly grasp the top handrail, repeatedly remind drivers to slow down point. I can go home see the mother does. To keep his family worry, I and my colleagues on the mother lied to Chengdu play, I can not even have to buy that insurance. Drove up and gradually get used to it after a high-speed driving pleasure, and sometimes urging drivers to increase the throttle black smoke over a large truck in front of it.
We three formed a small team Whitehorse, maneuvering to advance toward the destination. Trucks from Yunnan to the small tube of cool guys to play, led by two Hong Kong has come MM, Su A yellow and small. In the waist by three assume personal command of Guangxi, Big Brother, "thank General" leadership Nanning two sisters, "red orange yellow green green blue-violet" and Huang and the "scourge" of Xiao-Hong. By me and the third cars, "Chief Financial Officer" small Nie, Guangdong Sister JUNE hold the line. Small tube is enthusiastic backpacker and photographer. So he lead the charge, then we can grasp a good time, distance and shoot stunning beauty of the park. "If you want to eat Where to eat in that want to stop at which stop at that," Perhaps that is chartered and making the biggest difference between the bus bar. Has just begun 12 hours is not really what are the characteristics, and the road from Xining to Golmud, like to see the mountains and rivers, are kind of barren hills, boulders. With little too much so we are delighted to things, so altitude sickness slowly began to climb in our heads. Altitude sickness mainly due to lack of oxygen, causing people to shortness of breath, headache, nausea, and so on. Violent events are more likely to cause problems at the foot of the mountain can not imagine. Therefore, we must be in the plateau region pay attention. "Rhodiola" At that moment, our team is designated as "the only dedicated anti-altitude medicine." Absolute Qinghai Pharmaceutical Factory to do "care" is suspect. I JUNE Fortunately, the main problem is that we start the car trapped in a small Nie. Through the data query, this time we have started close to the altitude of 4,000 meters. Have run more than 1 hours, 50 kilometers. Have not yet visited naij tal (Kunlun Shinsen), we see the first snow-capped mountains and glaciers. Parking, size of the camera guys out front of this pair of beautiful meal Kuangpai. Master attract drivers smile, "is also in front of the beauty of living to!." Here the road will need at least 10 kilometers from the snow-capped mountains above, but because the first time in September to see the snow, so we are very excited. On the train move on, when I found a very interesting thing, every road beside the railway construction site has a small hospital, we can see the plateau in the disease, there is frequently a bar hazards. Heard that if you had a cold in the plateau is difficult to carry off Tanggula mouth, too easily lead to emphysema, and in the plateau, that was the fatal disease ah. Because of altitude sickness Moreover feel that there is not much point, we are satisfied that red and Taiwan do not stop forward toward the next target. In the future opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway will build a station here, where I also saw the first People's Liberation Army depot.
Along the way I JUNE chat to talk to, it does not feel any strong discomfort. (JUNE her prior to departure from the Guangdong Rhodiola began to eat, so a little along the way there is no response, and later proved her fame have already been taken.) Time flies fast, starting three hours later, 151 kilometers from Golmud, which oxygen bag when we car exploded because of air pressure is too small, so we have some length of the neck, quite a few mouthfuls of Meng Xi, there is no sense of good points. Soon we reached the first world-famous Yamaguchi, Kunlun Pass. Although now over two months, I still clearly remember the Kunlun Pass is 4676 meters above sea level, the memory is too strong. After the car stopped, but also a burst Kuangpai. Here we see the hero Suonandajie monument, he buried antelope in order to protect the precious sacrifice in this piece of snow-covered plateau. We stood there silently for his moment of silence, I do not know really what else God has a soul. When I cry in that moment, a small snow days Piaoqi. Really, my heart and tightly integrate this piece of land. September snow, the heroic soul of the deceased should be send comfort, and countries have increased the intensity of the protection of burial antelope, there are more and more people became aware of the importance of environmental protection. However, like "wild yak team" dissolved. Here we will really feel the altitude sickness of severe, due to excitement, pranced. Will soon have the abusive practices and altitude sickness can not stand the cold biting wind, hid in the car. There are 270 kilometers to get to the rest, the only hurry hurry, evidently driving at night is inevitable.
Because at this time has reached 4676 meters above sea level, from the beginning here after more than 800 kilometers Although some downhill journey, but it will be more than 800 kilometers will be at an altitude of 4,000 meters above the plateau road. 4,000 meters above sea level What is the idea? Write a few figures everyone is clear, altitude 1545 meters Mount Taishan, Mount Huangshan to around 2000 meters. Snow is not surprising at this time won, well looked, the horizon of the snow and the sky is always linked together. Here is very low cloud, day very blue, the air is very pure (that is, a bit less). "Too beautiful." JUNE Jiusheng said the only sentence in this. Here God is the largest one the sun, you will feel heat, wear short-sleeved sympathetic piece on it. But if he is an unhappy, then I think the best of all will be wearing the clothes the body, do not, and God go against the common cold may steal sheep away. Beauty on the road is too many, two eyes are always so, but feeling. Gains will lose, altitude sickness really started in our team there. The first is the terrible start on the 1st car A yellow, her severe headaches and began smoking in oxygen. In order to prepare for more serious problems arise, on the 1st car stopped behind us and stopped the vehicle in turn. Several teammates are very concerned about scrape together up, niceties. The few of us master leader and drivers to discuss for a while that this is not a big issue and should be continued on our way to bear, to the Tuotuohe, where hospitals also have depot, better rest and treatment. Therefore, the decision made to move forward. But the weather has been gradually dimmed, and for the entire team of security and mutual have anaphora. Older on the 2nd car to thank the elders for a long ride to a car to take care of the sick, the small tubes came on the 2nd car. The distance between the vehicle can not be more than one kilometers agreement, if the case, then after the car strobe headlights, parking break. After a good decision, we quickly resolved on the spot to the toilet problem. Qinghai-Tibet line standards Nanzuonvyou tough conditions, but only some of the case. At this time our car has not got to five beams, there are more than 180 km away from the Tuotuohe it.
The more difficult the more moving forward, it is fresh in my memory for some now think. Our staff response to the lightest cars, JUNE without a little thing, I was very severe headache, but the stronger loaded laughter, this brother so that the entire team can be more strength points. Our small Nie has been impossible to confused and fell asleep. Add a little to give her clothes, prepare for a cold. Once it was dark, the temperature dropped sharply, the temperature is close to zero in. The first car sick pretty good, although have some headaches, but after the smoke point of oxygen can survive it. Number one on the 2nd car is not a long time Jiuji strobe headlights of the jeep. Open the emergency lights, step aside have a look. Huang has had on the 2nd car Buxing Le, open the door will be on the big spit up, internal organs all seemed to be badly in. "Travel with the team doctor" JUNE immediately from the bag out of vitamin B12, to her taking the (very useful), the oxygen also she was ready to the past. Time is running out, we will continue to move forward on their way here before the middle of nowhere shops. Can only go on a tough forward. In addition to our three cars along the way and then there is no peer vehicles, and when the lights are far to see a little car, I will be very happy, it was a. However, you drive out to a good long time to come across. At this time really be able to deeply feel that the individual in this vast wilderness where a small, if there is no one to help, it is difficult to imagine how a person go out. I do not know how much of time, gradually to see the distant lights, not headlights like the one on one, but rather bits and pieces, is coming, finally drawing near. I could not help this strange little town had a strong sense of coming home. Members may be due to the role of psychological bar, have a clear over. Looked far from the lights, thinking soon got into a warm quilt, too happy. It is too sleepy and tired, when there is not even to feel the belly of the hungry.
