Dream of "Tibet line" was finally prepared for 7788, and perturbed the heart gradually calmed, but sometimes feel a bit nervous Irony: the first trip to Tibet, altitude sickness can cope with it?
Watched a lot of information about altitude sickness, which may cause enormous harm: range from headache and vomiting, while in pulmonary edema and cerebral edema. When coupled with a cold, it can really kick in. the! Fortunately, however, the death of a chance as long as the descent of the fast, timely and taken to the hospital can be no fear of Paul! In other words, as long as no cold, can on, the can not go on the next! Moreover, two months ago, I went to the Shangri-La, 4636 meters on the Yulong Snow Mountain, sitting three hours, a bit of altitude sickness are not! Such a thought, calm the mind also.
Introduction to thank User: Sichuan-Tibet line of the most beautiful autumn in early October! Taking into account the high altitude areas of the autumn than in low-lying areas come early, so we should play from west to east. The routes arrangement are: Qinghai-Tibet line forward, with Lhasa as the center, the first chartered to the Yamdrok Lake - Gyantse - Everest Base Camp - camphor - the holy lake Manasarovar, Kamiyama Gangrenboqi - Rada, the ancient Grid Dynasty - Division Sutlej - ge'gyai - Gerze - Coqen - Shigatse - Lhasa. Re-chartered to the holy lake Nam Co - returned to Lhasa, and then chartered to go Sichuan-Tibet line, the way YOU Inagi, Aden, tower of public grasslands, Danba, party standing, Siguniangshan, miyaluo. Time may also play Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Songpan.
Since October of the Tibetan plateau, snow and ice gradually, the wind and rain mutation. Therefore must bring down their underwear (down underwear is very important, and occasionally acute at night driving, or standing in the snow on the mountain, braving the cold wind watch the sun rise, watching the others, frozen and dancing, you have drunk a good view), raincoat, and Emergency Underwear (plateau climate, the sun burst of rain, the sudden), high-tying waterproof hiking shoes (foot wading snow away rocks, waterproof thermal protection ankle), sleeping bag, sleeping pad (in some areas, poor sanitation, could be sleeping bags on the increase their quilt, if the tide is too cold, sleeping pad can play a big role, and anyway, very light), sun glasses sun cream, (the sun ultraviolet sand, a clean sweep), masks, (driving a great fly ash), the labor gloves, scalable crutches (non-slip discharge power are useful from time with a belt), multi-purpose knife, the other common things to look at each of the hi appeal to their preferences in.
Data preparation is very important sights along the way will neither leak optimistic, but also will not see the good spots and dull. Good to have 1-2 months of time, the Internet is a shortcut, "Tibet Travel Guide self-" or "Tibetan Book in sheep's clothing" and is an indispensable guide for books.
As with optical cameras, film should be more multi-band, 100 degrees of the most commonly used, see Liang Jing, you will be immersed in the murder of film. Went out to buy a bit uneasy. As with a digital camera, it is best to bring the output line, drive CD-ROM, according to at least that can be carved by the local CD-ROM to save (usually a computer typing service stores only), digital cameras can be used back and forth. If the portable computer with a mobile hard disk or even on the better, in general, where a computer can handle that.
Shun have time to go to a go to the Tar Monastery in Xining, Qinghai Lake, of course, at this time not many birds in Qinghai Lake, but this is, after all, is China's largest inland saltwater lake, elevation 3260 meters. Qinghai Lake Huangzhong fish well, leaving Golmud may be hard to have this enjoy.
Golmud in western grain House (Train Station playing 5 million) ride on the door there are many opportunities to go to Tibet, we have seven people here on the package of the two 4500 Toyota sport utility vehicle, new, and brings a cheap, 220 / person, and the price of the same shuttle. Because this car is the Tibetan government officials sit, a driver came to pick up cars. Their asking price is not expensive, 250 / person, you can bargain, but the talk down, they must go. Now go to the Western tourist's friends, mostly in coastal areas, regardless of what is going on, we must use of equality and mutual respect and friendly attitude to deal with the locals, the only way to make your journey to add fun.
Golmud hotels and guest houses many of the hippocampus that we live in hotels, on the opposite side in the Western food is also good, 40 / person.
2002/9/11, agreed early in the morning 6:00 turnout, the result was 6:30 out. 1 Golmud began deteriorating road conditions, and potholed, the road is the road around the heap of sand, days, black, drivers are forced to slow down the speed of the left wearing the right plug to move forward to shaking. In fact, this road is fairly good yet, and the relative forty to fifty days after the Tibetan life. Our driver said with a smile.
Two of our drivers and their captain are all Tibetans, in the Department of Transportation when the driver of 20 years, young go-Tibet line, hit by snowstorms, the black days White Night (cloud top pressure days and snow blowing in the ground) to shuttle back and forth more than 5000 meters high Ali no man's land. Now more than 40 years of age, the old driver, and units of care and preferential treatment of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to go.
Exposing the gray dawn the horizon, but also gradually red-up, suddenly saw in front of the vast horizon of the black is far from bare a little on the Golden Triangle, and you look closely, is the golden mountain! Wow! ! We are pleased to call up, look at the map should be "A Qing Gang owed on the old peak", elevation 6178 meters, she was the only near the top, the other peaks are 6,000 meters, at a time when the sun shine in on a mountain. We all got off to busy as a burst of camera video: the vast expanse of dark brown hills a golden mountain, then the top is dark blue jis subfornical blossoming golden red clouds. This is a stirring picture!
"Quick on the bus bar, in front of living to good times!" The driver shouted reminders driving. We reluctantly got on. Fortunately, our car is facing the opening to the golden A Qingfeng, therefore, a first set foot on the Tibetan Plateau is still a deterrent to people picture a long time in front of us shaking. As the car slowly approaching, this golden A Qingfeng increasingly bigger; as the sky gradually whiten, which more and more dilute A Qingfeng golden, but our hearts are shocked and thrilled a long time can not be calm!
The five national highways in and out of Tibet (Sichuan-Tibet line North and South 2, Yunnan-Tibet line, the Qinghai-Tibet line, the new Tibet line), the number of the best state of the Qinghai-Tibet line, basically to rise steadily as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, roads were of Nature destruction is also the lightest. Therefore, she is out of Tibet's most important transport corridors. However, precisely because of this, the road damage has become increasingly serious. So now everywhere in the overhaul, if luck was not on a wall is a half a day. Our hearts are all praying pleasant journey and arrived at noon Tuotuohe --- the source of the Yangtze River, the sun went down before the Tanggula pass --- the Qinghai-Tibet line, the highest point of 5236 meters, not mistaken photo camera. This is also one of the reasons we are chartered, Ruozuo shuttle is basically over night Tanggula pass, then only look at the copies of the Qi --- sorry!
Breakfast is at eight in the roadside to eat a halal restaurant, there are buttered tea, mutton soup, Nang (flour pancakes to do), may be too delicious, and it may be everyone's hungry, everyone had eaten a lot.
Sadly, things have taken place thus: probably because eating too much meat, there are a few people, altitude sickness started! Drove it out of more than 100 kilometers, all the way reticent Liu of Hong Kong photographers A poor first warning, the typical plateau reactions: drowsiness! 11 o'clock, we're to the Tuotuohe, elevation 4,500 meters of altitude sickness A Liu is even heavier! Purple lips and nails, and has entered a trance. Called him, push him, shook him, asked him, "Ah Liu, okay?", He was only half-opened his eyes slightly to slowly Xi and moving his lips: "No - there is - something -" and asked him, " how do you feel like? "is still a" no - there - something - "and asked him," You can continue to go up it? "answer is still" no - there - something - "we decided to immediately put he was taken to the hospital. But this ghost for a long time where I asked the question to a health clinic, just-do-I and Guangzhou tall guys - Rice D, the two erected either side of him would go visit the clinic to run. Doctors are also accustomed to seeing such patients lose oxygen plus glucose.
To take this gap, we are solved lunch here. Is still butter tea, mutton soup, Nang. But you can not eat ah, the afternoon the road is a big project it!
Shortly after lunch, Guangzhou, tall guys are Buxing Le Rice D, Rice D Guangdong Aberdeen, 1.83 meters high, and since the last Shangri-La - Inagi, Aden, like, incredible, I gave him the name of the Gaidiao also. Now the stomach is badly, even to throw up breakfast is also very clear light. Really Coincidentally, Shandong high-mei, a small summer are equally bent over holding stomach, Biao with tears gaping to reveal all the details have also cleared a stomach. The remaining four most perplexing to us, and you look at me, I looked at him, and I do not know whose turn it is below. The last three team the youngest guy (Niu Niu Shandong, Guangxi, Hui Tsai, Ying Guangzhou) have invariably looked at me: because the team I am the oldest! Fortunately, I really earned the gas嘞, 4,500 meters above sea level in this place, and I have not even got a sore head!
Although we have four all right, but we are unhappy and worried look, and now just the beginning, only 4,500 meters, 5236 meters immediately but also over the Tanggula mouth, to what happens when we? All three of them what then?
3 Tibetans have to worry about the eyes watching us, their worries are justified, they are under the Golmud to mention cars, car is the public sector is leading cadres sitting, and must be back within two days in Lhasa!
Lucky Strike, rice and small-Xia Ding Qing had a stomach to throw up, tears also did the first is not how to hurt. In the end the young! To join us in the past, take a look at Hong Kong A Liu clinics. A Liu hung brine sorption of oxygen, clothes straight to bed, his eyes opened Dao Shi, and also know that watching us. "How? A Liu!" "No - there is - something -", or three words, but there is much more gas. We asked asked the doctor, he advised us: A Liu this body, should leave here as soon as possible, arrive early Lhasa, first, Lhasa 3650 meters above sea level, much lower. Secondly, in any case in Lhasa medical conditions are much better. We are concerned that Mrs A could get past 5236 meters of the Tanggula mouth, the doctor said: Chuang on for a while, how are all better than consumption here呀! Never mind!
Ever since I put up either side of the Guangxi-Hui Tsai, A Liu, rice, salt, small hand holding a water bottle, followed behind us, because in the off-road car, A Liu also need to continue to hang finished brine. In order to prevent case, we bought three bags of oxygen on the car. It was so scary to another on the new off-road vehicles, has been toward the vast Tibetan plateau.
At this point have been 14 o'clock, if the road is not congested, the driver, we will still be able to arrive before the sun sets Tanggula mouth. Ever since several of us are both coincidentally up in the heart of silent prayer: God bless! Buddha bless! Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Moroyama God bless! Unobstructed all the way! Bon voyage to the Tanggula!
A car just when Liu's consciousness quite a sober and open for half an hour he has to sleep! We features a move to shake him, pushed him, forced to speak to him. But slowly more and more ineffective, and his words less and less, more and take down the eyelids, lips and nails are increasingly purple.
Making matters worse, our speed slowed down. In front of the high hillside, waiting in a long convoy, the bad, and is a traffic jam! We immediately were depressed up. Traffic jams here is different from the city's traffic jams, here is the road! A stop is a half-day, moving is not moving!
Alas! I have long sigh, I fear that tonight might want to spend the night in the car, but I can not say it, so unlucky if nobody wants to come from in their own mouth呀!
I reluctantly looked at the sky, I suddenly realized that the sky is so blue blue, blue and get another is so transparent! So pure! Blue's beautiful, it was not a simple blue, she must have a level of blue, blue color too! Are top of the head is like a deep blue sea, blue to the horizon like a looming bottomed out in shallow water under the sun, and then down to the blue-green was a little reddish spots. Blossoming wanders the dark clouds, then a layer of a layer of clear blue even more scoring. This is when I see the blue sky, a big difference, then, is simply the blue, never felt any transparent ah, pure ah, much less talk about color blue too! To wait until I have grown-up when no longer see the real blue sky, and there is only gray sky, and the light touch of blue sky. In addition to the United States has also seen really a blue sky, but absolutely can not, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau comparable to the color blue!
Just as I was blankly in reverie, when the vehicle suddenly to the right one Shui Po, to the edge of the dirt road opened in the past. Should be said that it was not the road is a wasteland. We like the same rickety boat, Britain bump bump to the front right away, and a short while to see a few dwarf cottage, in the middle surrounded by a group of people, there are a lot of cars. Rounds of boos from the crowd. We all stretch the neck, Dengtai the eyes, curious look forward to. Tai Tam had the crowd there were a muddy water, and the vehicle must be washed in the past in order to drive away, I really seem to like the contest venue, see which vehicles dare to red, red in the past is the hero, red is not the quagmire of the past became a bear! Many are in the quagmire before the car obediently parked on both sides of the car down and watch the fun everyone. Quagmire carts can be had, these little cars is dangerous. The driver told us all out of the car, our Tibetan driver was really OK, they drove into the quagmire before the four-wheel drive linked to the file, slam down hard on a few of the throttle, the car roaring to roar a few times. Next to watch the crowd sent waves of boos, has not yet heard boos stopped suddenly see our car crashed into a quagmire, with four of the rapid rotation, splashes of mud there are two cars of high! With the deep hum of the engine roared, and saw that our four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle slowly and with difficulty reached the shores of the mire! "Oh ---- Oh!" We sent along with the crowd cheers. Followed by another one of our off-road vehicles have also successfully passed the mire. Passes, as the seven of us took the same pleasure from the house side of the crowd wearing the past. People are looking at us with envious eyes, as if a hero is not the driver.
We all got in and left a Shui, but also opened on the road, we have to bypass the repair section. Good-bye, and curious people! Good-bye, people waiting on the road!
It is with feelings of pleasure, but also toward the blue sky and white clouds, mountains and little hills and ran!
