In the later, I met a book. Because I did not go deep into the broader northern Tibet where they saw more people, learn more things, I would like to use it to make up for my lack of narrative to the friends left behind was a compromise move. The Tibet is a broad and complete history, nature and culture as a whole, more I can not "go to, see and conquer" a place, I will try to find and I would have a strong interest in Tibet, and better than I do who works to meet the needs of your reading and information for reference. "Traveled northern Tibet," Tibet, Ma Lihua gone through one of the series documentary works.
However, northern Tibet is Tibet's most attractive regions, just under the blue sky and white clouds singing songs, watching the cattle and sheep, as well as Chinese caterpillar fungus and beautiful snow lotus charm enough people to defect to its embrace, so that linger afternoon a memorable one . ● 178
Recent afternoon, we went to the first town in northern Tibet: Amdo County. Here in the 4800 meters above sea level around here, if you can not find difficulty walking and conversation, you really have to congratulate you, degree you are able to withstand most of the plateau on the special concerns of your body.
15:00 PM, appeared in front of another shadow of a city, there are several white reflective materials on the plateau where the sun especially pronounced. ● 179 close look, that white thing was lit Cheng Cheng's metal roof, here is the Nagqu. Iron roof, mud walls of houses, is said to be the last century the characteristics of the sixties and seventies, it was indeed big deposit is running out. Instead, a typical Tibetan, Chinese, Western and some other could not utter the name of nondescript buildings. Nagqu is a city full of dust, ● 180 perhaps because of the need or are being built everywhere reasons.
Nagqu is the world's highest city, more than 40 million square kilometers of the jurisdiction area of 4500 meters above sea level on the order of Nagqu town center ---- In fact, it is the center of the entire northern Tibet. Qinghai-Tibet Highway which traverses the city off, road construction on both sides of the composition of the city center. This is the street, and even the city, they exist in the open-ended so abruptly in the prairie, very abrupt, and even some weird. In fact as to where the earth as the center of the northern Tibet as people, at home or the temple will be dedicated to portraits of the Chinese Communist leaders to allow these representatives and the gods of atheism integration of services, adding distinctive in nature. Whether pastoral areas in central northern Tibet, or the surrounding semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas, not to mention more to the north, occasional scattered into the no man's land where the tribes, almost everyone can not remember their singing and dancing along to where the art. Some people say that Qamdo, some people say Xigaze; and never will say that dance is a local pastoral animal husbandry. Yes, due to the absolute life and imagination of the art form, no longer known. Even more surprising is that, perhaps there will be more like me "lucky "---- encountered Tibetan, said: We do not sing, but not dancing, the only meaning is breathing.
This is not a place can not survive, but it is increasingly unsuitable for human life. Ultra-high-altitude hypoxia environment, and the disappearance of culture, northern Tibet is struggling to continue with the myth of color; despite the constant breakthroughs, and the advance to the no man's land.
A simple variety of practical shop opened in a typical Western low-rise buildings, these houses are generally two to three storeys, roof tiles are neat ocher. ● 181 of these shops usually provide some of life's necessities, or services such as hairdressing, bathing, local snacks, non-staple food, daily necessities, and repair shops and hotels, usually hanging in the doorway with the Tibetan and Chinese written on the store signs. At the same time, these stores will generally move with the mainland so and so place names, people one can see from where the operators, so that the guests from afar can also have the opportunity to find a fellow Syria; the very least, can take this convenience store business to know local characteristics, such as Sichuan. Developed in the Mainland, bookstores, cafes, florists, make-up, audiovisual, tea, or rather sentiment massage shampoo, as if no shadow. ● 182 according to the pedestrian streets and shops where customers distribution, where consumers will enjoy the always crowded no fun.
Next, we continue to try with their own eyes, to close to make along the infinite beauty.
Sun, sky, white clouds, grass, blue water, is the eternal way. ● 183
Grass on the yak, and the occasional lovely Hantai visibility of vigorous step like flying, what is the true interpretation of the life, what is the movement's vitality. ● 184
Occasionally can be seen, scattered on the grass among the pastoralists residential areas, has always been on display here were once a happy noise. ● 186 Nyainqentanglha mountain peaks have been faintly visible. ● 185 Nyainqentanglha located in Damxung grassland, blue sky, snow-capped mountains under a luxuriant gray Bingfeng. Who walked the Qinghai-Tibet line, can be a long time to see this spectacular scenery. In a pair of snow-capped peaks, the maximum is the peak when the pull-Jun Shan, 7111 meters above sea level. ● 187 is far from looking in the past, it is chiseled like a pagoda roof, and in the sun shining bright. Over northern Tibet from Qinghai and the pilgrims are tightly packed in the open-top car, a far beheld this Kamiyama, then jumped down devotion to step in a long call-in to get close to it, with its own It is magic of the whole body into every inch of land of asylum. ● 188 villages in the next hot area to watch the best location Nyainqentanglha peaks.
When the male prairie for many years enjoyed the pro-Nyainqentanglha ask, ● 189 here in the mountains will be the envy of the growth of Cordyceps sinensis, Fritillaria and snow lotus. Local Tibetans would be very professional to pick these precious Chinese herbs, a little side deal was to sell kilometers, the general stuff are good, but absolutely true, prices are also cheaper. We made a little comparison, the general price will be half of the mainland Chinese herbal medicine shops to one-third.
If we can have time to stop here, for this season, the Chinese caterpillar fungus is the most worthy of attention. ● 190 Cordyceps winter for insects, because the fungal spores of the parasite and the length of grass in summer. May each year around, is the excavation of Cordyceps season, but because the low temperatures in the Tibetan Plateau, in July will be a normal excavation season.
