"Year of the Horse" is the Buddha Sakyamuni's Benming years, the believers, in this he was transferred to Hill, merit can be increased 12 times. That is why I so much determination to enter the next Ali, but also to turn Kamiyama reasons. I just want the right Kamiyama vow, to have 12 times more to achieve. But there are not confident that we can walk 54 kilometers in the plateau region, and this elevation of the middle of 5700 to cross the Zhuoma La Pass.

10:00 departure. Clockwise away from Daikin's bustling market, set foot on the mountain only to see quite a number of Tibetans, foreigners, the country ahead of the donkey. Within a short while began to breathe deeply, slow down the pace; back to the sun, the wind blowing off the feather just comfortable. Yamaguchi has always insisted that it stopped the rest, looking back south Daikin is a wide expanse of prairie, stretching far from the snowy peaks, a dark blue, which is the holy lakes of.

Morning walk is also easy, but some small gentle slope, streams in the next large or small to flowing. Kamiyama at the beginning there appeared ladder is very obvious and clear, and gradually we will only see the canyon on both sides of Montenegro and the snow-capped mountains of the. Roger remembered the joke, Gangrenboqi relatives too much, spend 20 hours to turn; if only just to switch Gangrenboqi four hours you can turn down.
Due to said that today would be light-hearted, they therefore carrying the camera. How did the original Dianzhao feel the weight of the afternoon was farther weight, in particular, Crimping legs is even more difficult.

Western Pioneers count on tents, they discuss the side. We took I tore into the mountains on a two-page description of Tibetan land cow, Fanlaifuqu research, is still decided to stay in situ. Then a family moved to the cottage Chinese food, Western food to the side to support a family tent.
Cottage is filled with double-glass door into the conservatory, such as very comfortable do not want to go out. Daikin last night, the excitement of the situation, thought that the only accommodation Kamiyama points behind will be more crowded. Is not the case, we went early, yet others to live, the boss very warm hospitality. Evening more and more people arrive, there are moved to the cottage, but more people are self-open tent, or sleep, or move on.
A group of Tibetans sat outside the door, burning a tea in the warm, old and there are few. Two of them graduated from college in Lhasa, the youth greeted us to tea, spoke excellent English. They are a family of people from Rada over, to spend more than 200 fare per person, sitting one day before the big wind.

Braved gale hard to go back to the cottage. Boss help us to boil the noodles. Porter of the two little daughters standing in the door, watching us with curiosity. A big 14-year-old little girl, like a plain, 8,9-year-old size; a small 8-year-old, like a plain, 5,6-year-old prosperous years; do not have to go to school, but with the past, visitors learn a little Mandarin. Asked what they ate dinner, quickly ran to their parents took a small bowl back, a look, which has been mixed with a good Zan Pakistan, let us try. Like a wet bar that Zan Guangdong fried rice cakes, was worried points, what flavor did not try, but did not dare more tried. Eldest daughter, bolder, playing my sunglasses, listening to dishes of the MP3, listen to Cantonese songs, but also mouth Zhang singing along. They called her home to sing songs, shy refused to open. End, I was dark, and we find the candles, only to find matches with lighters brought could not light a fire, find the boss asked for a lighter, but it is a play on the the. Altitude sickness really is everywhere!
After dark, the temperature dropped to minus 10 degrees, or sit outside the group of folks Rada. They are better because they have spent money to ride, has no money and then stay, while everyone old and young, there is no effort to back tent, so tonight is to prepare sleeping. Seeing them few warm clothing, but can not do to help.
Nine years, the worry that altitude sickness, by the anti-altitude sickness drug and Fenbid eating, they stayed to sleep early. From Tibet before the cold has been never ceased stuffy nose, the time seems to smooth some of today's walk, thinking of the blessed in the holy mountains, my cold good; thought to lie down now, is still stuffy nose. Thinking about these days Qili scenery, today turn life-sized head knock on the mountain Tibetans gradually sleep ... ...
September 27, sunny. Leather book pointed out that today is about to walk 31 kilometers, 8 kilometers per cent more than yesterday, but also crossing the 5700 elevation Zhuoma La Pass, the task is very arduous.
8:00 left, the sun rose on the hillside, according to the surrounding snow-capped mountains were golden sounded ... .... Mixed with snow-capped mountains in the Blackstone, sunshine Jinshan scene far less spectacular mountain Gongga attractive.
8:30 start, the camera is also carrying a larger bag for porter, carrying their own water bottles, arms Chuaizhuo Ginseng tablets and chocolate. Early in the morning, transfer hill team has quite crowded; reminds me of that year the National Day Golden Huangshan, get up early the next day is also crammed with climbing scene. Turned to look back at the Western family of the tent, but was submerged in large and small, colorful tents, the thought last night after night to this many people.
Shortly before a river. Rough structures made of wood plus stone bridge, unique flavor, when it inadvertently shows, to concentrate on walking behind followed the Tibetans, just of how to walk today. Starting with me already out of the dishes behind.
Began to pile up the mountain rocks, people follow the footprints of our predecessors walked up, the team is not slowing. Two ten minutes later, I began to stop-go, and around the Tibetans, too, 32 in groups to rest. Looked at me and walking alone in this strange land to the people who voted to encourage the eye, I have 11 return "le."
9:20 came to a place, there are many Tibetans at rest, surrounded by throwing full of clothing, covered with a silk scarf, streamer. Roger remembered a joke in the car that they had to switch mountain when throwing clothes and walked to the turn Kanyama, the body has no clothes! Holding a line sketch of Mt cowhide asked a Chinese language Grandpa would say, if there is Tianzang Tai, uncle nodded affirmative.
Then quickly sit down and look good rest, drink warm water, containing the ginseng tablets, ready to sprint 5700 level. At this time a big fish smoke in my head, do not break directly passed; look back, side dishes, but it disappeared, think she performed well yesterday, today, that nothing would go wrong.
It is then taken twenty minutes before the real Tianzang Tai, because it threw a much bigger clothes, quite overwhelming momentum; and we also stay in the back of Cardiff like family to rest and come up with streamer hung on the stone on. My whole body from top to bottom there is no spare clothes, only to find a big rock covered with streamer turn a circle, praying leave.
Time begun to enter the snow line, switch to the ranks of mountains gradually opened. Casting a few shadows in the vast expanse of whiteness of the snow like ants only in the mobile. Polar sun glare, wearing a hat, sunglasses down, and can only head down the line to go along with their predecessors, can not casually looked. COSCO distance near the snow, piled numerous large and small Mani Dui. Today's elevation is much higher than yesterday, but climbing will be done, but after yesterday's workout, but easier than yesterday. Highland extremely low temperatures, even in the event, came as somewhat of a very cold hands and feet, so although the kettle left to right Akira Akira forward to Aizhuo still is to insist on their backs, and ensure that the supply of warm water. This time is not scheduled for 10 minutes, or how much time to rest, but rather looked at the stones in front of a Fang Zheng empty, they hastened to sit down; because the more going up, fewer and fewer are getting smaller and smaller stones, People are increasingly short interval of rest, so that stones are very tight, not always able to sit down and rest, only an opportunity to break for a while. Step by step to walk for almost one and a half hours, and finally can see the pass and see Napian spectacular streamer!
11:20, I have embarked on a Zhuoma La pass! Unbelievable! I really did! If there are no crowds, really want to loudly announced to the world, I did it, and boarded the 5700 high! This moment, I believe that as long as I think everything is can be done!
Break for a while dropped kettle, turn around the view, very excited. Feast at the table has been reached, big meat, wear everywhere with a beautiful Tibetan mm camera. Then we came back-fu, the first time is the camera out, this record memorable moments ... ...
Another case of a group of tourists is also a departure from Guangzhou, several boys waiting anxiously behind the two girls; our team from four people were still behind, although Western owners to pick up tents, cooked oatmeal for breakfast, later than we had nearly an hour, but rather to cake, but slower than I am only half an hour to pass. She said that the snow line, this section is uniform breath, did not stop to rest up in one breath, and is indeed the cause of her with admiration!
Go back to pick up water bottles, intends to continue to move forward. At this time only to find it missing. Throw in the colorful land filled with Hada, streamer with the ground, thinking that no one would note that there will be no do not ask and just take, but now they indeed found, and had donated to the Kamiyama when the bar.
Starting with the cake together, big fish continue to wait behind people to see there are not in need of help.
Down the mountain is a stone beach, snow-capped mountains were Caichu a dirt road, coupled with the midday sun tan it seeping Khan, the very carefully escorted away. Suddenly a blue-green lake appears before your eyes, such as a surplus alexandrite white land, quietly lying in a public embrace of snow-capped mountains. This lake is known as mercy Lake, will not be God's tears bar.
After a period of steep slopes was a long gentle slope. In the frozen snow on the walk, not as good as jumping away at the stones. Simply be an easy downhill, and soon went to the snow line down. Feel in their own merry way like a stream jumping, ringing sound of gurgling water, has been Bengdao the foot of the river came to a halt, as the cake is far left behind the.
Eat chocolate cake with the back to catch up to continue after the departure prodded. Then think convenient, but they find themselves moving in a broad valley, and very few large stones to do a cover, and turn the distribution of mountain people scattered everywhere, where are the unscrupulous practices of Tibetan women are look ... ... There is no fear in this respect, openly and squatted in front of you, then stand up from a leisurely, all because no matter which Tibetan women, most dressed in holiday dress will definitely be a beautiful wide floor skirt, squatted only like a beautiful peacock in the rest simply will never know that there are heaven and earth.
Tibetans have seen these two days are wearing a dress; especially the girls go hand in hand, forming countless vulnerable point, wearing a red coral turquoise headdress, wearing a variety of Pei-decorated, all the way rattled ringing, mischievously laugh and turn off ... ... Kamiyama is that they worship the most sacred in life, only the most solemn dress to express their worship of God. Most would like to ask some pretty girl photography, but I felt would be the desecration of their sacred souls, will disturb the mood of their pilgrimage; and feel like in the zoo to see strange: Why I do not shoot the local people in Guangzhou, where it beat again? Is this too I'm sorry person. So abandon this idea.
13:30, went to a tea tent. Many Tibetans also remain closed; they are carrying a teapot and cow dung, get tired, they sat around with, from the brook and spoon Sheung Shui, to lay down their tea, on the burning cow dung on a leisurely, as in the general picnic - they something like a pilgrimage and holiday together, and not at all not feel bitter. I quickly hid in the tent and rest awhile gas; it is like an oven to cook at hand in a pot of tea with a pot again, I do not have the cup, only eyes to the side of Deng Deng thirsty, very upset and dropped the kettle . Fortunately cake goes to the, by my lid. Wait a feast at the table, we also back basking in the sun, eating Daikin bought cake, drinking salty Tibetan tea, had about the happiness of Tibetan life.
Big Fish said that he pass until the bread and chocolate. Chocolate seems to be altitude sickness, but still insist on living. Thinking of them did not take cake to eat, they leave some waiting for them to eat up. Is still my first action and.
After the 10 km road is still a smooth sailing, but the face of the sun and the biting wind blowing pass and had to bow to brisk walking.
16:40, I came to turn the third temple on the mountain, the ancestral temple of Chu. So that today's distance, leaving only one-third can be done if it tries about three hours to complete my Year of the Horse on the wish of the feats of the Year of the Horse!
Roadside a row of bungalows, which would give the turn-off to rest stays Hill; there is a perfect open-air toilets, really pleasantly surprised. Big Fish brings newcomers news: Western Pioneers have climbed back to his decision to climb today, Daikin, do not leave their luggage, etc.; dishes There are a number of Tibetans to help escorted with a cane, which can also be safely go back to Jin dynasty.
17:00, full of excitement to the finish line embarked. Did not expect this last three hours is so painful. The valley gradually narrowing down the open terrain, it is necessary as the peaks and valleys in the mountains walking, so that the two-day accumulated fatigue over the attacks; looked relaxed trot Tibetan yak rushing through it, envy may just want to point there are porters to me carried away. Numbness in the hillside around the turn with, Yamaguchi finally in sight. Is far from a tent, a ticket collector I do? Hunzhuo Tibetans fast walking past; soon, as well as a tent, and surrounded by a group of people, I wonder if I still shop ticket revenue is still trot walk. Napian exports are still seeing the vast grasslands and rolling peaks, two days of hard, let me, if new.
Finally only three kilometers back to Jin dynasty, and there are wide road, but no cars. At this point just want to walk the 100 steps of 99 steps, has completed this last step, I choose to Mt constitutes perfect virtue, so they bite the action and sit on a bit. Staggered walked steadfastly towards Daikin, Daikin and the lights seem to always be in the distance. Seeing the light draws near, more is not willing to stop for a rest. There Tibetans sitting around with tea, greet me stop drinking tea, but also be kept in my footsteps. At this time only bent forward to the completion of tasks, sit down and bowl of warm belly things. However, asthma is, the rest on the stand, with clean hands after a monk, but also feel in, I will insist do not live ... ...
Dongfeng ... finally emerged the big tent bazaar ... ... ... ... the crowd! Stumbled through the crowd, I do not know Daikin so big, so lively, so many stall ... I almost thought he would faint. I looked around, and the bitter insisted on the last vestiges of effort to find we start from the Gandise hotel, surprisingly there is a female donkey is not just clinging to ask me to switch back mountain, is not going to Shiquanhe, can bring her! Thought I could still speak, but also asked her how she went Gangdese. Thankfully, the original turned a wall, is just 20 steps away!
20:10, I finally reach the destination. Paralysis at the table, never move the slightest way. Moving outside the gorgeous sunset sky, but also anxious to see the sunset under the holy mountains, but is powerless to change the ... ...
Bowl pork noodles Xiadu will resume only when a little effort, look for Roger to pass access to other partners. After ten, Western family of arriving home, all exhausted, listlessness, and the side dishes, or not see shadows. Dark light dark, I do not know not to Roger Yamaguchi keep on waiting. We are worried that the, fleet side dishes with a cane, as lively as ever to come back. I found that she had returned as early as 9:00 Daikin, found a restaurant tent were re-fed for a long time to find finishes here. Finally we are all safe and sound, and some have hastily pack up their rest. Today we can still find two four humans, sleep more comfortable point.
