18th days of October 10 Warrington Nyingchi - Lhasa and 430 kilometers
In order to Nyingchi beauty, dared not up late. Get up early and ran out of camera. Nyingchi is located in southeastern Tibet Brahmaputra downstream, with an average elevation of only 3,000 meters, climate and humid, and pleasant scenery, known as "the Jiangnan of Tibet," said. And the other day see the many mountain rivers compared to here more of a romantic landscape. Nyingchi in late autumn, into thin sheets, issued by the golden light poplars. After breakfast, cross-car starting, a new asphalt road is the road, no more bumps, the vehicle can also run up cheerful.
Light to listen to along the way some of the names: gongbo'gyamda, Mozhugongka ... ... enough to let you create a romantic associations in the evening, turned over into a mountain in Lhasa last - Mila Mountain (elevation 5020 meters), the pre-trip along the Lhasa river valley , in the Chinese Lantern beginning of the night that I put into Lhasa.
I do not know why, at this point I would rather not excited, but silent toward the direction of the Potala Palace, said loudly: "Lhasa, I'm back!"
19th October 11 sunny days in Lhasa City
Arrived yesterday from Nyingchi County in Lhasa, more than 440 km journey, driving for nearly 12 hours, and catch some evening road, feeling extremely tired. A simple written travelogues, fell down asleep in.
Spending the Night last night that the international well-known "auspicious hotel", the reason for an internationally renowned, not because it is a luxury, but because there is a backpacker's distribution center. Plastered walls of the hotel door playmate of the collection of notes, want to Everest, and want to go to Ali, and want to go to Namtso, and so on, most can be found here aficionados, here, too, can learn the lines up to date, we can see heroes separate ways, each person has a different travel experience, have lots to talk about travel stories.
This is my second time to Tibet last year, lived in Lhasa for more than a week to every corner of Lhasa, ran a times, this time there is a sense of coming home. In the Potala Palace, the former to leave this a motorbike tour of the shadows, I got up early, open motorcycle visited the Potala Palace. The Potala Palace, the former is a very large square, the square stands a tall monument to the liberation of a modern, quite discordant with the Potala Palace, the atmosphere. This look at the Potala Palace, I think some of unreal. Why is this idea, perhaps because too much into the scene in Lhasa when I was shocked, but that the Potala Palace, just outside the bar, but fame.
The square has been suspended for a row of off-road vehicles, they are wild to take pictures pictures of a variety of positions. From the license plate and vehicle signs can be seen that they came from Urumqi, and their exaggeration is justified, because "the victory of reaching the" results "looks beautiful." I will push the motor to a more quiet side, with fast speed of a cell phone took a trip to this photo, silently left the square.
I am not interested Zaiqu Potala Palace, the Great Zhao Temple, but the street was straight to the market. The street people coming and going, Tibetan, Han, foreign tourists, a variety of languages, all kinds of skin, all kinds of clothing and confusing. Street was that this most ancient streets in Lhasa, in addition to thousands of shops, more numerous doors and windows as cellular, there is a Tibetan folk song to sing: "The Lhasa Barkhor, the windows more than the doors, windows inside the girl, bones than Meat is also soft. " This time, we can only enjoy a short stay to its colorful outside, next time when I come back, I definitely wanted to go to discover the story of those windows, a real understanding of street was to understand the Lhasa know about Tibet! I found lying on the street was a cafe on the second floor window edges, quietly enjoy the front of it all.
After 18 days of a long journey, I began to noticed the fatigue. Submitted his resignation several times in order to appease the butt, I have exhausted all means, can not stand sitting tummy will never be able to lie, after all, there is a great halfway to rely on it to sustain.
Lhasa, the sky is clear, when the sun will be empty of people sweated lazy. Drink enough of the butter tea, I Dazhaobaoge returned to the hotel, enjoy a long absence from the nap of the time.
Wake up, day and dusk. I am too lazy to rerun out, they squatted on the stool in front of auspicious days hotel, holding a bottle of beer in Lhasa, the heroes and out the door laughing and joking with the name of greeting.
20th October 12 sunny days in the city of Lhasa
Today's first task is to repair vehicles, after all, more than half way there is a waiting for it to complete.
To find a motorized bicycle repair shop, repair, Henan fellow turned out to be a chef. Liso's for me, he adjusted a bit by throwing cars before distortion, change my own engine oil, playing the chain oil, has also helped me weld a result of open solder bumps and the luggage racks, parting went so far as life and death are not received a penny. See Who says people do not unite in Henan An Men!
Lhasa is not Jin Mo, and the streets ran everywhere, all kinds of domestic brand-name motorcycle. Most motorcycles after consuming ideas are decorated, as long as the car can be a place to hang things will fall over the long colored tassels. The young boy, dressed in fancy dress, exaggerated the boom with the accelerator Chuanjie and had attracted the eyes of girls ambiguous.
Bid farewell to fellow went to the street was to pick out a number of characteristics with national souvenirs, ready to go back and give as gifts, it is compulsory for every out. In addition to a maximum of craft shops in Lhasa, the can be seen everywhere is a variety of outdoor gear shop, but cheaper, no wonder that the young Tibetans are a child of professional outdoor adventure gear. I also picked a few pieces fit, and to expand my travel equipment.
Adds a lot of things, it is impossible to go back with the motorcycle pack, naturally thought of mailing back. Lhasa Potala Palace next to the post office is the busiest I've ever seen, and the supporting services, the most professional post office. You just have to mail something to take that, all fixed up by them, of course, is the need to pay the cost of the yuan.
Back to the hotel, think of tomorrow, but also set foot on the road, a home the excitement arises spontaneously. However, after the excitement, a nameless fear and sitting in her heart, after all, I have to face there is nearly 4,000 kilometers to go, to climb 5,300 meters Tanggula the mouth of the Tibetan Plateau to endure bad weather.
It again my friends sent messages of encouragement, telling yourself:加油!
