The tenth day of October 2 clear xinduqiao
Today, travel 0 km!
I was attracted xinduqiao beauty, and the courage to launch a motorcycle. Holding the camera around aimlessly roaming the land and look horrible in the murder of film. Xinduqiao scenery can only use one word to describe - "beautiful"! Here the air clean and spotless, clear galaxy hanging in the night sky, a meteor across from time to time.
Here I met members of the Chinese Photographers Association, the state a photographer - the morning old Mr. Han wide. Mr. Han Lao, 69 years old, has repeatedly come to the plateau collecting folk songs, this time accompanied by her son once again came to xinduqiao. Mr. Han Lao very talkative when it comes to how he was engaged in photographic work, he spoke to me: "In 1959, Jincheng cultural centers at that time working photographer encountered from Beijing on the interest in photography began. Listen said that Beijing has a red photographic equipment stores, went to a letter asking the price of cameras and film. a result, a month later, Beijing red light camera equipment shop to the mailing to 400 yuan worth of cameras, film and printing materials. There was an old, under the small, no savings. only thirty-odd monthly wages, had a monthly deduction from the wages of inside, the wife and kids can pick up Lan Cai leaves to eat. In this way, boil for two years, and finally is also finished debt. since then, they vowed to some achievements in photography. "gentleman's remarks, deeply moved by my own long way to go just a little effort, there is no can not be learned.
For advice a lot of old gentleman any connection with photographic knowledge, and that go well tomorrow, Litang, only reluctantly to say good-bye.
At dusk, the landlord's son to call me at home, so I went to the roof of his house to see snow-capped mountains. We climbed fast to the roof, spectacle in my eyes. Rarely show their true colors of the Gongga mountain today in the sunset light, a given golden light. I am surprised 1:00 unresponsive, duo-mile shiver of the shutter, with a different exposure time Kuangpai a roll.
Living in xinduqiao encountered many fellow of the people, mostly use as a holiday experience exotic Kham region. We are the Lunar夜话and exchange with their travel experiences, until late at night.
11th October 3 days clear xinduqiao - Litang
Early morning, Han old man's sons would wake me from sleep, and we went together to take to help Litang. They opened the Paladin is a Zhengzhou Nissan Chupin, Mr. Han Lao afraid I have to keep up with motor specifically account for his son to slow down a bit.
Xinduqiao out along the way slope, unconsciously come to the Peak, signs marking which is 4412 meters above sea level of the Al Gore Temple Hill. Washed down the Peak, across the Yalong River Bridge, into the Yajiang county. City is located in a narrow valley surrounded by mountains rise steeply on the ground, there are many houses built right on the slopes, a bit uneven, crowded disorder. The county is only 2,200 meters above sea level, AGB Jiang's Tibetan name is "Asia song grid" and "estuary" means, since ancient times is an important crossing. Through Yajiang County, but also the way to climb a mountain with a, seemingly endless jagged. 4659 meters above sea level passing the scissors curved pass, the temperature dropped drastically. I stopped cars, but also to find out wearing leather vests, somewhat hint of warmth. I have been at an altitude of 4,500 meters, hovering around mountain roads, motorcycles, weak breathing with, and good scenery constant stop-go the way we climbed over 4718 meters of the clamps pull-Pass, came to the world known city of Litang high.
Litang an elevation of 4,700 meters, is the world's highest city. Surrounded by vast grasslands of Litang, every August the Jockey Club will hold a grand, dressed up Tibetan compatriots will then come together to celebrate this most festive holiday.
To find accommodation, because of the blackout could not bathe, are now complaining about the boss, the boss said you can go to hot springs, great music to listen to the hearts of remark. Pointing by the boss, I riding 5 km west of the mountains came to the county seat. Here opened a lot of hot spring bath, ten-dollar a packet, the inside has a 2-meter pool, hot spring water piped into the pool, the water temperature nearly 50 degrees, is suitable for bathing. Kuanyijiedai, slip into the pool, and a faint smell of sulfur nasal inhalation. Half an hour later, a new look out of the bath, I returned to the county seat.
12th days of October 4 clear Litang - Batang
As the comfort of a hot spring bath wash, last night's sleep quality exceptionally high. Morning 8 o'clock, the streets of Litang town Exalted is still scarce, and many shops are still closed the door. Looked for a snack, drink a bowl of porridge, pay the bill without carefully exposed a few hundred dollar bills, the boss asked to: "Outside the house, not to take too much money, Batang, Litang to the Haizi Shan area was a mess and often bandits, you have to be careful. "listened to the boss, then look at the hearts of not only the slightly Deng. Previously heard the story of Kham bandits, hopefully will not occur in me.
West Litang out the door into a broad prairie. Roadside flocks of yaks, sheep and horses leisurely walks in the grass. Tibetan tents distant smoke rising curl, presumably housewives are the name of butter tea, and so her husband came back early in the morning for breakfast then! The distance on the road a mother with a small yak yak crossing of the road, lovely little yak naughty behind with his mother, so that reminds me of the son at home, always naughty wrapped around my mother. I Taishou with a small yak hello, maybe I have never seen such a dress, it scared he turned and ran. As the run too fast, to his mother's side failed to brake the foot, to a "cow chewing mud." I was laughing out loud in this scene Gaode had even miss my son.
70 km out from the Litang has been along the grassland before the line, few vehicles on the road, has not see a large number of visitors. Occasionally they can meet greenhouse migratory herders driving cars, filled with full of belongings, tottering on the highway.
Began to climb the front, and a large truck pulled into the river just dug come stone, breathing heavily crawling slowly. I have a nice overtaking moves came ahead of him. Are proud of the time, I am unprepared to 50 kilometers a right turn into the corner, the car suddenly skidding rear wheel, brakes have been too late. And the car came crashing down, my mind a blank. Inertia and the car eventually I overcome by the friction with the ground, rubbing to scratch the car has 7,8 meters long. The engine is still chug to ringing, it is estimated the car should be no major ailments. I climbed from the ground up and set the pull oneself together, turn off the engine, screw on the fuel tank switch, struggling to lift the body. The car's luggage rack is well protected by body and me, and I found the car service has built an excellent brace to protect the right side of my body, car service, had to intact. Quickly check the Driving Status with the result that I remind myself how lucky, only the handlebars have been wrestling distorted some, right front turn signal crushing, crushing the right plastic hand guard, right rear-view mirror scrap, individual decorative plastic pieces some wear, but these are all normal traffic no cause illness.
Looking back, the cause of the accident and found that the ground is just fishing from the river stone kcal car shed water, due to the cold weather, end up with a thin layer of ice, so that the wheels lose traction, resulting in a spin.
I have a lingering fear to continue my journey.
Began to climb Haizi Shan, asphalt road from me had missed. Now the road is just another fish out from the riverbed to the fist large cobbled. Jumping around in the pebbles on the car, my butt is also danced the samba with the body. Picturesque way, and I bow to see Lu Zhi Gu have time to look at King. Haizi Shan climbed over the car, because a lot of armed police along the way in repairing the roads, not encountered the legendary bandit, a little heart defects unknowingly. Alas! People can be really wrong with the typical pay lip service.
Down the Haizi Shan, traffic is worse, and the road has been pressed out of two carts deep rut. As the weather was fine, dusty dirt road, dust carts dragging a long, 30 meters away to see the road unclear. Streams from time to time, the road walk through, forming a puddle, I had to wade by.
Lu has been along the Jinsha River and, on the left side is a cliff from time to time, sometimes on the right is the surging river. Highway rather being badly rotten camel, extremely odd, it is a long way to almost only by the deep ruts and mud made a mess in exchange together. Down the Haizi Shan, elevation gradually decreased, the temperature is gradually rising. At this point, like a layer of winter clothes buckle on the body armor, not a little heat, combined with intense driving, I was sweating all over. I am relentless drilling dust every crack, and and sweat mix together, make me look like a god down the mortal lands.
I have bumps in 9 hours is 100 kilometers down the road seems to have no end. 5 pm, and finally into the Batang County. Today, moving a total of 180 kilometers, 80 kilometers before took 2 hours and then 100 km but I spent almost 7 hours.
The inquiries after the road, that today this is just beginning, after the road is still living to Samba!
