October 4: In the morning together, because the car is still worried about the question whether there are failures, coupled with sleep late last night. Sleepy, friends're not careful, the car hit a roadside tree. Fortunately, the point of rubbing bumpers, to a large piece of bark to the lifting. Look around and no one, and quickly leave the territory, to the Jiayuguan direction of escape. (When we do not know when living in Jiuquan in China to launch manned spacecraft, or maybe even went to see for themselves the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base launch of the spacecraft, which more NB ah!) Jiuquan, Jiayuguan is only 40 kilometers away, and soon to go. We have to go first in a relatively large auto repair shop, called "friendly auto repair shop," the car to check. The inspection also can not find any problems, believe that oil might be the problem, but that "disable light" also inexplicably went out. Add a bottle of glass of water, 18 per hour, waiving inspection fees, yes. Out of urban areas, came off Jiayuguan City. Jiayuguan is the ancient Silk Road on the important station was built in the Ming dynasty, the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, the most western of the mark. Due to difficult terrain, building magnificent and the "best in the world with big," said. Chengguan now all been repaired, and artificial traces of very strong, tickets to be 60 yuan, not into the matter whether, in the outside to look, according to several phase calculations.
From Jiayuguan, we have come to the "best in the world pier." "Best in the world Pier" is located 7 km south of Jiayuguan off, and Qilian peaks across the river is the western end of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall, the first starting point for a platform mound. Because of severe weathering makes it look like a Otsuchi package, lonely stands on the cliff edge, here are into an abyss, the terrain is very steep. Now the local tourism sector is planned to construct and develop spots later Zaiqu, may not realize the historical vicissitudes of feeling.
From the "First Tun" is already out of more than eleven o'clock, and we went straight to the main destination for today: 71 glaciers. 71 glaciers in the Qilian Mountain in the southwest of Jiayuguan City, is the Sino-Soviet geological personnel between July 1, 1958 found, it is called "71 Glacier." Here, 130 kilometers away from the Jiayuguan city, the urban areas in Asia from the city of recent glaciers. Along the way we have always ran toward the distant snow-capped mountains, roads are still straight. Snow-capped mountains getting closer, feeling more and more excited, today was finally able to witness the majesty of snow-capped mountains, close contact with the snow-capped mountains. The car into the mountains, on the sense of the way in the climb, 2000 meters above the hills are dressed in pure white snow. 2000 m, 3000 m above sea level has been rising, the temperature gradually decreased close to 0 ℃, but the sun is very adequate, people do not feel cold. However, we have several people already have points mountain sickness - frequent urination. I went to that there is no reaction, even troubled by long-term rhinitis seems to have healed, and strange. We are all the way to go, all the way film and reached the foot of glaciers is a 14:15. Here is 3700 meters of altitude. Start the uphill road is thirty or forty meters of stone steps, just has completed stone steps, even some of asthma, must be high-altitude causes. Then there Xizhai paths, the edge is a steep slope. Trail begins to melt snow and ice after the mud, with the elevation gradually completely covered by snow and ice, unusual slip. Because not brought climbing equipment, such as Pole, crampons, etc., only step by step, slowly climbing, and later on the hands and feet of the. Finally, I already Shishi asthma, chest seems to suppressed a large stone temple began to swell, and finally understood the taste of the mountain hypoxia. Mountain sickness is so hard for me to climb a few steps and every way, we should stop to rest, big gasp a few tones. Climbed over a notch, a huge iceberg tongue displayed in front of glittering. Snow and ice have all been wrapped mountains, blue sky cloudless blue sky, the whole world seems to be melting for one, holy, sublime, serene. Here, nearly 4,300 meters above sea level, while the time is fast four points, with the chocolate and water has been finished, to reach the top, this is impossible, and had to backtrack. (Heard after the climb down and take at least 2 days to camp in the mountains, bring along supplies and equipment to professionals lead the way.... For our equipment this point, if the successful ascent, I am afraid to write to the Guinness Book of Records it.) easy to downhill mountain difficult to truly understand today's finally arrived. Having just taken a few steps of the legs overturned on the slip and had insisted on their hands, the slowly moved down. Finally he just sitting on ice and snow on the ground is sliding his hands and feet control the direction, speed to also quite fast, but a poor hands, no gloves, is to hang in the snow and ice on the frozen numb. 4:45 am finally down to the foot of the mountains, people have tired Buxing Le, legs become soft, a splitting headache. Foot of the mountain has a Tibetan yurts set up a break point, into drinking a large bowl soak bread and mutton soup, really recover from fatigue, ah, amused.
From the glacier down, ready to drive directly to Dunhuang. Then find the car speed Buxing Le, only 40 ~ 50 yards, and the speed of change has 3000 ~ 4000. Car certainly have a problem. Fortunately, most of the way down the mountain, using inertia decline, the basic non-refueling door. Dunhuang is the will not go, and rely on the speed of 4.50 yards boil for a short return to Jiayuguan City. The car once again open to the "friendly auto repair shop", by the technical staff, it was discovered that I do not know when the transmission oil pan has been hit by stones deflated, the oil-absorbing mouth blockage, resulting in inadequate fuel supply, thus bringing the gearbox friction plate burned . Not to mention speed up the past two days, not oil issue is probably the gearbox problems. (In retrospect, it may be to the Helan Mountain in Ningxia Su yukou National Forest Park, when you break something when you walk among the rubble sump. At the time escaped Tickets To her surprise, Chuangxia big trouble. Ningxia again! NND) as where there are no special maintenance, no spare parts. There are only two methods: the parts shipped from Beijing over the empty re-repaired, but take a good few days, people had to accompany; other is the car shipped back to Beijing. After discussion, it was decided that the car shipped back to Beijing, or safer. As the weather has been late, I would first stay there to say.
