Lifelong passion for travel, the greatest ideal is around the world. On the world-famous, mysterious and unpredictable, particularly in Tibet yearning. Not married before the boyfriend comes a time when you perform, regardless of where to go, gave an order, after the saddle before the horse closely follow. In 1989, when there was a chance to go to Tibet, is elated to prepare travel when, suddenly unrest in Tibet, dreams washed away.
After marriage, have a warm home, a boyfriend escalated into a husband, has undergone a qualitative change in status, although I love a plus, but no longer, as did pre-marriage after the saddle before the horse to follow.
No matter how independent many women before marriage, romance, marriage and gradually immersed himself in a warm family life and give up a lot of pre-marital preferences. I have a love of travel has not diminished because of marriage, but her husband can not accompany a lot of travel plans delayed again and again, Tibet, the dream has never come true. Twelve years have passed later in the summer last year, has been a period of leisure, thinking over and over again, and finally decided to own the road, a circle of Tibet dream. Her husband, though not to follow me to go, but also expressed their support after the family settled and began the long charmed the Northwest Tour.
In order to fully enjoy the magical scenery of the Northwest, I chose from the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in Tibet. Take a train from Beijing to Xining, one night at a friend's house the next day aboard a Chinese Academy of Sciences High Energy Institute package to Tibet, China and Pakistan set off.
Almost Lost in Qinghai Lake
The first stop is the Qinghai Lake. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city overlooking the azure blue sky, white clouds under the lake, could not help but relaxed and happy, imagination, fugue-day things, such as my extreme dismay of the soul back to earth, only to find large team of people missing. Although I have always been independent strong, then can not help a bit flustered, tens of miles radius of the Tibetan Plateau is often indistinct no smoke. Man is a very strange animal, many people will make people upset, but no one has had people flustered. I had to stand by the roadside of the project, did not dare to eat lunch. And so on for half an hour, finally found a large team of people, the courage to go fast around leader, not daring to leave the three steps away.
Bottomless salt bridge can not eat
Qinghai Lake from more than 200 (can not remember, and less accurate) kilometers to see a strange bottomless salt bridge. The bridge formed by a salt casting, the length to ten feet as a unit, there are lofty long, hence the name bottomless salt bridge. Did not see the salt bridge, I thought that salt bridge is white, to the front a look, and no difference between an ordinary asphalt road, carefully think about all day sun and wind, cars come to, can not be white. In the salt bridge on both sides, there are a lot of salt, in the sunshine has become more dazzling white. Salt bridge in some way to go after the encounter roads, cars can only detour from the Bridge, in the sand. Our car in the sand on the left into a bunker, unfortunately, after a while, how are all get out. People down the entire vehicle had to be implemented through the hardships to pay several times more effort than usual the car finally go straight. On the bus asking for a look, finger on the shiny, the Tianyi Tian is salty to prove that the salt bridge is really made of salt, but this salt is industrial salt, can not eat. To the destination, the driver immediately go to wash the car, because the salt-stained the car, the car would have made the formation of metal corrosion.
Far to see the Tibetan antelope
In recent years, along with a lot of poaching, the state-level protection of Tibetan antelope has reached an extinct animal. We would have lost any hope to see the Tibetan antelope, but also on luck. Through the Hoh Xil no man's land (which is frequented by local Tibetan antelope) is, everyone stared, focused their attention on the roads in the heavens work pays off, the Tibetan antelope has finally emerged to 100 meters away there Five Tibetan antelope, a leisurely stroll contentment in the grassland, followed by another seven, three. All cars people are excited to count. According to the driver say, Tibetan antelope is not easy to see that the fear of being hit, and off the road and far off are not clear prospect of a solution. Suddenly appeared in front of a few Tibetan antelope away from the roads close, everyone was excited not, address him by parking the car stopped just one, not enough time off, the Tibetan antelope on the panic to escape, thinking that people have to hunt them, and this situation Cijing, I do not know the sorrow for the Tibetan antelope, or the sorrow of mankind itself. By Suonandajie Conservation Station, we have to donate money to sign support the protection of Tibetan antelope and the natural environment.
Tuo Tuo River depot to see the moon
The source of the Yangtze River Tuo Tuo River Depot is that we stay this way the most difficult places. While guarding the Yangtze River, but lack of fresh water, Tuo Tuo River water is salty. There is no cold water at night, and only boiled water, boiling water with a towel dipped in a little "cat" washed my face, early in the lie of the. To the Tuo Tuo River is the departure from Xining, the third day's journey along the way fatigue coupled with altitude sickness, High Energy Institute of the woman to a depot on the fall, and rice also did not eat, so her husband brought her. At this time her husband felt the benefits of. I can only eat themselves. My roommate's companion is a human being out of tourism alone, and her reaction to the altitude is very severe, splitting headache, the noon meal to eat all threw up. She said that now would like to return to Beijing at home, anxious to drive the aircraft to fly back pack, but this is impossible. We are just in the middle of the road in Xining to Tibet, back up was not possible, can only bite the bullet and move forward. My roommate told me half-jokingly in a will, if in case she was glorious, and so I put her to donate the deposit to protect the Tibetan antelope.
Since I am at an altitude of about 1900 meters, Kunming lived 20 years, may have a stronger adaptability to high altitude. Along the way there is no obvious reaction to the altitude, but in Tuo Tuo River depot could not sleep, I guess that is altitude sickness. My roommate a splitting headache, shortness of breath, suck a bag of oxygen. Both of us could not sleep, Jiupaqilai to see the moon, Tuo Tuo River elevation of 4,700 meters, the visibility of the sky very well, round moon clearly made, it is gray in Beijing can not match. Moonlight before watching a moment, a moment Kan Shan, Deng Deng finally drifted to sleep half an hour.
The world's highest one-star hotels can not find the quilt
Tuo Tuo River to leave the depot, to continue westbound, may be gradually adapted to the plateau environment, everyone's physical condition and mental state is much easier than the first day, and talked and laughed along the way, to the Tanggula embarked. Usually love to see martial arts novels, a lot of martial arts where there Tanggula description, today could finally glimpse of the real Yen. Has an elevation of 5231 meters of the Tanggula mouth, all cars were off camera to cheer about. Yamaguchi Mani Dui standing beside overlooks four weeks, the blue sky and white clouds, Castle Peak snow, coupled with bursts of whistling wind, constitutes a magnificent snow-covered scenery.
The accommodation on this day is Nagqu, more than 4600 meters above sea level. We live in the world's highest one-star hotel, the psychological rather some pride, and in any case in the world. A few days before my body can be, but that day a little uncomfortable, a precursor to a cold, the body chills. In the plateau are most afraid of cold, may cause myocarditis. I have to stay in the house, eating a packet of instant noodles, ready to sleep. Although the summer, but the plateau more than 4600 meters above sea level are still very cold. Only the bed blankets, far from being able to withstand the cold plateau, in the closet, closet After asking many can not find a quilt, ready to call up the attendant, telephone lines may be cut off again. Dare not stand the cold out, had to wear and carry with him all the clothes are built in blankets on reluctantly warm, and eat cold medicine, early and stayed to sleep.
Work may be cold medicine, and the next day wake up condition as normal. In the car, complained to his companions from a star-rated hotels and there were no quilt, the quilt I was told that the cupboard under the TV, I did not think the quilt will be placed in any case, TV cabinet, but also never come across such a situation, only blame themselves ignorant. Fortunately, there is no cold disease, Buddha bless!
