Everest
The morning of May 9 and left the warm and hot, and humid camphor to Everest. We have deliberately put Mount Everest on the way to stay in return, because to enjoy the twilight of Mount Qomolangma, the best one night in Rongbuk, 5400 meters above sea level, for the first people on the plateau, there will be a strong response.
Three in the afternoon, we have opened to the villages at the foot of Mount Everest, the roadside signs which stand into the mountains. A barrier blocking the avenue, janitor came to ask us to produce tickets. We are surprised here, do not sell tickets? But along the way we are on the lookout for, but also found no ticket. He asked to return tickets, pointing us away from here about ten kilometers away, it means an hour of time consumed. Lee Chien-line master in order to light rail vehicles to stay in the car with him Kobayashi tickets, and we three remained in the entrance.
We have just became firmly established in that, there is the village's children, came around we look at. Within a short while, they surround more than a dozen. They wear clothes other than what we have seen many children to be clean, tidy, but also all of the Chinese dress. Which has a little girl about three years old, curly hair, round red-scarred face, a pair of dark eyes, very cute. Her clothes clearly not domestic. They gathered around us Qi Shuashua out of his hand, said: HELLO, HELLO. We have not found anything to eat. They read out, one of the larger point of the child, indicating that we should buy them to eat. Xiaoyun by her to the roadside only a small shop, bought a pound of sugar, give them one of the few points. We sat on the roadside sun, not too much so, after eating sugar, they surround came, he saw the hands Xiaoyun also sugar, and then to be. Xiaoyun did not give them a barefoot little girl, asked Xiaoyun buy her shoes to wear, canteen where a resolution is not so small. They came over and asked me to buy candy to them, I do not agree with. They are no longer obedient, as just as well-behaved, and took out his pocket for snacks barley threw at us, all the kids seem to have been inspired by barley thrown at us one after another. Unexpectedly, the children here so unruly. They throw barley is finished, began to pick stones vote for us, did not accede to their request for retaliation. Trouble for a while they see no results, and also there will be no tourists come, they dispersed.
4 weeks again attributed to a quiet, windy had. Become more apparent after a long time. We have become accustomed to patience and wait.
Toyota, 62, wrapped in billowing smoke finally opened over. We can hit the road. The drive to Everest mountain dirt road, but also being renovated, more narrow and difficult to walk, only allow one car through and can not be cars. Due to bad road conditions, we have opened it slowly. Road workers do not consider the traffic are convenient, mounds of earth to be everywhere, the roads are blocked. Sometimes, we often crossed the one-meter tall mound.
We plan to Rongbuk Everest to see the sunset is not possible, and at sunset, we stood by the Vatican, a measure hung overlooking La Pass: four peaks over 8,000 meters lined up. Everest pyramid-shaped mountain is quite clear. Sunset dyed the jian, until the color gradually dim, we left on the bus. In the night, we still have to keep the crossing the mountains, the road is very difficult to walk, cars like the waves in the boat, in the gravel on the bumps. Stars shine in the sky, a meteor across the night sky.
23:00, we're finally to the Rongbuk Monastery. Kobayashi and Xiao-Jun must be brought tents to sleep in one night at the foot of Mount Everest, not to mention the weather is very fine. And I still live Rongbuk Xiaoyun.
6:30 am, we wake up to the Rongbuk Everest outside to see the sunrise. Several Cantonese frame of seven or eight tripod, support the combat readiness Zhangchangduanduan camera. It is said that they slept one night to shoot the Star. 7 points more than a blur of crimson rose to Everest, because the mountains block, other mountains are in shadow, only the pyramid-shaped summit Everest bathed in the glow of the sun gradually strong, red also by the deep fades. Sky blue, such as washing, there is no trace of cloud.
9:00 and more, we go first from the Rongbuk base camp. A dozen blue sheep by the roadside to an audience to bounce. Car turn the a detour, a Tibetan side of the road leaning on a stone, looking bruising, Ziyaliezui very ferocious, has died. We are shocked, asked off to see if have been saved. Li master resolutely stopped. We should call a report. Master Lee said: You do not do this foolish, then, you say that is not clear. This is how many people each day on the base camp ah, how nobody? He also said an understatement: he was frozen to death, and Tibet is not new.
To the first base camp, colorful tents teams in the valley. We went to post office to buy postcards, post offices built Mount Everest chapter as a souvenir.
From Everest down the road to Shigatse Chef Lee's is something that can be eager to go home by. We joked with him that he and wife a very good relationship. Nearly 12-point leads to the Shigatse, still insist on bath could return home.
