It is 19:36 am revealing still more penetration into the light, the lights inside the red light. This evening to spend the night on the train can reach the 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in Golmud. Now about 3,500 meters above sea level, there has come to feel sick individual comrades, and perhaps the usual lack of exercise's sake. Feel that we are too exaggerated, each new pair of shoes, but also see that we usually not very long journey, the most exaggerated and is very eye-catching colors with big foreign pullover despicably great new backpack, presumably everything loaded into the , and engage in such a big wardrobe, yeah ... ... It seems the comrades still need to work ah! Wake up is 8:00, and the train is still Feishi forward along the Gobi, bottomless salt bridge, tea cards Salt Lake. In the reflection of sunlight, the desert suffused with some dazzling white light. We arrived at Golmud railway station at 9:40 at the Post Hotel a rest for a while. Several negotiator talk about cars, the last of the chartered 300 yuan per person price from Golmud to Lhasa, so we set off on her own luggage. Startled to see car was originally imported four-seater Toyota 4500. But also armed police car. Later, and the driver chatted until the middle that was originally bought a 12 car happened to arrive in Lhasa so we set out on our 8.
The westbound journey officially began! 12 car 11:00 Chiru the Qinghai-Tibet line, mighty to set out. On both sides of the road is nothing, only the endless expanses of yellow and blue. By 22:30 pm the team stopped at the Tuotuohe soldiers stopped one night. We have 4 double beds sleeping 8 people together to fight the good condition of school accommodation is also difficult than in the past. May be due to reaction to high altitudes over 4000 meters above sea level it, most of the comrades are not how sleep at night. 5:00 to 4:00 to get up early in the morning again with the team to start the daytime. Opened a section of highway with the road surface wave like Britain who awakens the spirit of Yehao a lot. 8:36 am After an altitude of 5213 meters of the Tanggula mouth, I do not have the plateau feeling unwell the night before the comrades are now also jump patting photos, it seems are also psychological. Along the way just before the climb Tanggula loess, sand, oil pipelines and construction of roads. Overhead wire and wood, but it also there is no vegetation, animals, much less home. After the turn the Tanggula saw northern Tibet eight towers, rainbow, rolling snow-capped mountains there are villages of residence, of course, also seen along the worship of believers.
8 towers located on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway Nagqu to about one-third of this period when the male side of the road on the icy prairie grasslands Wuli this group of tower group so that they put on their air of mystery tragic colors. According to legend, eight towers this year with a Prairie King Gesar has shuaibing ride in this expedition, Walking Tall, King Gesar, a great general Harper men buried here died, in recognition of Harper's exploits, the construction of eight tower and he was buried among the eight towers. Today on the 15th Tibetan month, on the 30th, grassland nomads on a few dozen kilometers from the outside must be transferred through the worship of this.
From time to time along the way we see the faithful hands wear protective gear, knee with knee pad, formerly a fur hanging clothes, dust covered face, along the road, fear 10000 1000 hard bitter, three-step a knock, or plot months, or plot all year long pilgrimages to Lhasa, 35 people met into the team, dominated by a common faith, devotion to the venue and the line. First they take stood at attention as he remembered, while his hands clasped together, Gaojuguotou, and then one step further and continue to clap their hands and moved in front, and then one step further and moved to his chest with both hands clasped together, a step the third step, the hands move from the chest open, parallel with the ground predecessor, overlooking the palm facing down, the knees touch the ground first, the latter overlooking the body, the forehead, knocking to the ground. And then stood up again before starting rehabilitation. The driver told us that believers have a special food specifically to deal with clothing, in charge of kowtowing believers clothing, food, shelter and other logistical aspects, in order to provide a convenient companion, and this one may change their kowtowing. The knock long head of the faithful is meticulous and will not be with the lazy way to reduce fatigue, and thus the letter, relying on a strong conviction toward the holy city of Lhasa. Tibetan people can knock the other from afar to visit Lhasa, the first length, the purpose is to see a princess into the Jokhang Temple in Tibet the Chinese cheng Zhenfo and give Lhasa temple, Buddhist temple in which the ever-burning butter lamps Tim a mound butter, it can be hard work I accumulated the property free of charge dedicated to the temples, the golden Buddha statues before the pilgrims were stacked a lot of spectacular style a lot of money and numerous gold and silver jewelry, money in the eyes of devout believers, mind is no longer money, it is the Buddha's sincere loved ones. So when you drive long head of the faithful everywhere knock around when we will pay tribute to them waving.
In my opinion, that Tibet is a physically and mentally with the gods and the closest place, but we have to fly with the way city folk or car to enter Tibet, will want to understand each Renzailvtu a strange place. I do not want to be a passer-by from the middle of Songzanlinsi, the Tar Monastery in Qinghai, could not pull froze Temple, this time after a difficult 36 hours came to Tibet.
