Snow

 Snow, the weather seems to make people depressed haze, snow swept away the dry, dusty, giving the feeling of Qingxin. Mood index 2, more suitable for communicating with others.
Fact I do not frequent the Internet, is a young new friends pulled me into the blog, did not foresee was really a lot of enthusiastic people here, actually there are so many people like Tibet.
new work, nothing more, nothing less recent trip, since so many like plateau people, then send some notes to take a look at it the plateau, to the people who have not read and see.
visit lakes mm Namtso (2002.7.25)
basic come to an end in Lhasa working stroke, so want to walk around the area near Lhasa, look back period has been to, I can not travel. Namtso is a Tibetan holy lake in mind, unfortunately, the plateau has not met for five years and decided to drive Visit lakes Namtso.
Yesterday afternoon, I call bar, accompanied and taught about the post Lame total peer Namtso flower bowl. In order to arrive before sunset to catch the holy lake, watching the sun afterglow Namtso the scenery, I did not wish to pay attention to Lhasa along the way when the male beauty, as one hurry .17 58 minutes when I arrived when the male successfully to the station when the Xiongbing Li Qing, deputy chief asked the path of non-stop to the lakes start. < br> say busy, error-prone, that does not leave in a hurry when the male to the wrong direction, followed by a truck almost runs counter to, but fortunately, we have more in mind is to pursue a path of large trucks, they asked to correct direction. Our goal is to get down before the holy lake in Tibet 8:30 sunset almost night, and there are 60 kilometers of our trip, I realized that must pay close attention, unfortunately is not far out to catch the rain when the male, Rain of urgency, great, so I though the wiper open to high-end, the road is still difficult to see clearly. luck have to catch up this road is also building roads, and now the rainy season, rain washed across some sections, only diverted to the temporary repair of the sidewalk, sidewalk Huer Road, left, Huer road right, we had to detour along the makeshift back and forth through, simple narrow bridge, so I have to carefully estimate the turning point, in order to foolproof, I anomalies carefully drove, the rain Note such as scoop, I have to take care of the road often put his head out the window, because once the mistake, the consequences could be disastrous. spent almost fifty minutes, finally through the passage section of a headache to calculate a little distance, only 15 km.
car into the gravel road after the normal hill, approaching the top, completed nearly half of the journey, but we have spent nearly a half hour at this speed, drop Can not reach the lake before. fairly smooth gravel road, although a bit small washboard-like, four-wheel can also be run up, the car to the Peak, mountains, panoramic view of Pinghu list views, which prompted me to drive even more urgent to. At this point, no longer days of rain. I carefully and complete all adventures underground mountain, so that the speed remained at eighty or ninety miles an hour on 50 minutes when running all the way .19, and finally came to the holy lake of water known as the edge. Although the rain stopped, but the thick clouds still so I can not confirm the position of the sun, and good light transmission level is OK, although not the beautiful scenery film, but shoot a few commemorative photos, the effect should not be too bad . I teach and bar, playing the total quickly stop the latch, can not wait to get toward the lake, grab before dark, the total of the shoot a few films now.
Namtso really worthy of the reputation of high mountain lakes, vast boundless lake margins, clear blue water, blue, right bank of Lake Cascade Castle, rolling cross, the left bank of the broad meadow lake as Bi blanket, looked straight ahead, a look up to the edge of the lake but not connected with the long days. Looking at the distance, near mountain green, brown green mountains, clouds around the mountains and rolling, top of the mountain, snow, occasional clouds float past in the sun, although the character missed the plane as the sun, but can be confirmed through the clouds and the brightness of the sun position. clouds around the sun, slightly bright, structure into the picture should be rich features. I had the time to find a few construction picture point of view, to tie teaching, the sum of the bowl I took a few commemorative photos, the stand holy lake shore reef, begin to appreciate the unparalleled beauty.
here is almost pure natural ecology, and perhaps the worship of Tibetan holy lake, near the lake almost invisible by the herds, also rarely have deserted activities. So the screen, only San-ching, grass green, water blue, some white color, although the lack of sunshine, the screen remains clean and beautiful. When you stand on the lake, that colorless and transparent visual bottom of the lake water meters and looked at the attractive clear lake, I could not help holding holy water, drink a pass, water, cool and light salty, soak into the depths and lung, its taste as much as brand-name pure water, and I secretly admire, really worthy of the holy lake ah!
Namtso is the world's highest saltwater lake, to be called pure natural ecological cleanest lake in the world, the most beautiful lake. think of pollution of inland rivers, lakes, compared to this lake is holy, passing a trace of heart pain, and I'm short-sighted and human ignorance and sorrow, if one can long and short term more, think more of the environment and future generations, the human life to the negative ecological impact, through the efforts of contemporary eliminated their , then the nature that is so beautiful. uncontrolled proliferation of human development so that we have lost too many beautiful natural environment. I envy the man before the industrial age, when there is no industry, no pollution, although the material life scarcity, but human contact is the most clean air, the most beautiful environment, pure green food, living in the realm of the picturesque and beautiful, would not be a god ever day. at the moment, I felt I truly understand that society to promote green far-reaching significance. I wish this moment I feel that people have ah! If so, everyone will act consciously, eco-friendly, environmental protection, as much as possible life for themselves and future generations to retain a clearance space, the Pure Land. I hate those who saw their own interests regardless of the social ecology of the short-sighted person, it is these scum, so that it hurt the beauty of nature.
gradually dark sky, the camp is to find the time. So I drove around the peninsula Qingling stroll car, looking for a flat, grass lee camp. through a small mountain pass, we found a small cave not far from the cave as if someone, I stopped and went to the cave , they are two foreigners, probably a couple, it seems they decided to camp out in caves. Fortunately, rolling teach fluent in English, we communicate no obstacles. I want to: a foreigner, to enjoy the natural scenery of Tibet, traveled across the country, living in a cave, prehistoric people's lives, too hard a. whether their lack of equipment, but also for financial distress, do not want to live in hostels? Fortunately, my car still surplus tents, yes yes there should be very cool night, the side of the heart of a sudden, forbearance, and I ask if they teach you tie the lack of camping equipment, seems to me suspicious, and they have a full range of camping equipment, live fully is to find a cave a feeling. At this point my heart began to envy them a hand, in the holy mountain is a small mountain lake this unusual hole through the night, perhaps two foreigners lifetime thing.
days, darker, Lake wind, the cool, Wet. I have put on warm clothes and Jackets, I realized that must immediately camp, after dark for the inconvenience, and I drove to a small cove and found this place the grass thick horizon and leeward, but the ground some little stones scattered and fragmentary, is a good place to sleep. So they decided to camp.
to lakes tourist who, while small, not too small, the lake car park ten car parking, yet few people are camping, come to live in most hotels. I for their taste of this truly life outdoors proud of. soon we seized over rubble, sorting out a piece of velvet carpet-like grass, bar of my company produces the Camper-DANA, a bilateral open the door, a door Peng bilateral tent, alpine lakes and looking at a scene on the peninsula Xintian, I felt very comfortable. < br> pretty small tent to attract a number of Tibetan people's curiosity, they gathered around watching and talking and tie to teach what, anyway, I do not understand a word, then I knew Mountain Pass at the other corner turned , but we still have the original neighbors, but people are Tibetan nomadic tents, small tents are spacious than our more. But I believe, in terms of wind, or rain on their tent and our tents are not phase ratio.
night wind blows, although not large enough to affect the use of GAS stove. We did not bring windshield and had to bottle at the picnic in the tent door, and rolling out education and long-9602 FURNACE GAS tank gas, Ignition boil, GAS stove fire is indeed very good, thirty-five minutes to boil a pot of water, but I know that the water only about 70 degrees, because this is the boiling point elevation. bowl of cereal down to the pot total to , the pot will soon spread beyond the cereal's flavor, it seems not always cooked cereal bowl, a pot of water, actually the next seven bags of cereal. ha ha! no choice but to drink tonight, only large Jiang porridge. bar I teach out of the grilled bread bought in Lhasa, Chinese cabbage fermented bean curd Sichuan folder, chewing Sausage, drinking thick porridge, although not rich, the idea is considered delicious.
night, and I got GAS lamp lit bar to teach in this elevation of 4,700 meters high mountain holy lake, a Tibetan and two Han Chinese, sitting around the edge of GAS gas lamps, distinctive taste with a picnic meal.
holy mountain lake Very quiet at night, except occasionally came from the direction of the lake several more dogs barking outside the hotel, there can only hear the sound of the breeze blowing. tie has long been taught drill DANA tent to sleep, the total is the first time to bowl St Lake, very excited, insisted on going to the lake to sit, I can not stop, reminding him to come back early. sleep late last night, opened the afternoon half-day car, a little tired, there is plenty of energy for tomorrow, I think the sleep early. This evening I am not going to sleep tents, but sleeping in Qingling car, that car tipped over the back seat, a man no problem sleeping, but space shorter the point, can not fully straighten your legs, bent sideways legs and lie down are just fine. The only line of the plateau, I basically had no reaction, probably eating fungus tea cents licensing reasons, and the Mainland almost feel the same, only my mild pulmonary disorder that I uneven breathing, lie down to adjust the bad breath after the long, sleepy and can not sleep, tossing I can not figure out how long, and finally fell asleep.
middle of the night woke up and saw a bright moon in the car front left hanging. I sat up and saw the bright lake, mountain round clear, I am glad, glad, or Xuming Chen gave us a red glow. I breathe as much as possible and mix thoroughly his own, hoping to fall asleep again as soon as possible. I look at light phone time is at 1:00 on July 25. When I woke up when heard the rain hitting the roof like the sound, looked outside through the window a fog could not see anything not seen, it seems that among the sky Wu Hai. listen to what, like the next drizzle, I was slightly Deng look, ponder this Namtso could there be in vain, do not see the spectacular scenery of the lakes.
6:30 the morning, the day slightly put off, I am unable to bear the feelings of anxiety, climb up, sleeping bags and moisture over the entire pad to restore the seat. while teaching is also tied up, get up to play the latest total, He told me late last night back from the lake, look to the lake not far away, go up but time-consuming, almost an hour a night road-way. I playfully told him, called Lake-run death lake, shimmering in the breeze blowing, the waves gently tap the banks given a low of waves, as is tell me what is the experience, is the feeling or other, I seem to be facing a long-awaited reunion of the old friends, the feeling of the moment seems to forget the self, the whole body and mind to go into nature.
world a drizzle, the sky dimmed, the mountains and disappeared in the clouds now. Now that this also had dignity. in the drizzle, we finished the scent of cereal, gather in the tent with hands-on, drive around the lake. I'm Looking forward to have a miracle happen, to negative for the clear, red glow appears reflect the views of the Blue Lake. because it is not possible, at an altitude above 4,500 meters altitude, the climate is changing often, ten minutes before the wind and rain, lightning, thunder, ten minutes later, perhaps blue sky day. but today I was completely disappointed, until 8 o'clock, the weather was still not the slightest turn.
helpless I walk in the holy lake plateau, staring at the clear lake, enjoy enjoy a natural, simple, beautiful, harmonious plateau scenery, from time to time a few mouthfuls of moist and slightly smoking deep chill in the air. distant misty lake, mountain refuge in the clouds too shy camel, but it still does not cover the hazy beauty of lakes. Suddenly my eyes A bright, a beautiful picture into my line of sight, probably little girl lake inn, carrying a huge white iron, are down to the lake. Cangpao a black girl, wrapped in black head scarf, bypass to the lower half of her face, from her long, thin face, his eyes blazing an Heimou natural beauty. Although it is impossible to see its full face, still confirmed that this is a very beautiful Tibetan girls. almost dragged her feet in the ground Cangpao in moving, step by step towards the lake. on a prominent rock on the white surface of the water to squat down, with the golden bucket bailer Tao began to water, the action is so coordination, not tight nor slow, silhouetted against the background of a clean lake, is simply a beautiful landscape. I walk a few steps to catch the last close, like captured this rare shot. When I put the camera at the girl adjusted the focal length When the girl seems to be no aware, or I do not disdain, I wish the girl turn around and give me a composition ah! So I call on the bar in consultation with her to teach the Tibetan language, not only do not fit the girl, but his head buried down. I embarrassed holding the camera, just wait, even if she looked at me and let me ���� one, but she still does not give me a chance. After a child, her side of the accelerating pace of installation of water, while burying their heads deeper. Bahrain water, the girl simply to shift the water line of sight, give me a dorsal, but unfortunately I had to shoot two back, as the silhouette it. But their attire, elegant and feminine looking figure, still easy to see that this is a beautiful girl.
I really do not understand why the girl refused to take pictures, ask bar to teach: Tibetan people do not like the camera it? bar taught in not very fluent Chinese told me that there are not very civilized region, probably afraid of a camera taking her soul. I heaved a sigh of relief, very sorry to lose this great opportunity.
time passed, the twinkling of an eye After 8:30, the day is still under a misty rain. It seems our luck really good, no chance to wait until the sun. me and tie to teach, play always had to reluctantly leave the holy lake Namtso, backtrack when the male. Along the way, especially the renovated section of the muddy road Needless to say, occasionally choose the wrong path almost led us into trouble. Fortunately, an excellent four-wheel off-road performance, and finally to peace when the male smooth.
in when Xiongbing station, deputy chief Lee hosted a sumptuous lunch with us, especially the kind of name To Ma eating soup, taste great. bowl is always open on the table full of delicious restaurants do not seem interested in, and soldiers on what has been dubbed , stunned and stunned us.
After lunch, we set foot on the way out of Lhasa. In the afternoon near the road, only 160 km, and the road very well, so we do not have to worry. I drove leisurely to enjoy the magnificent picturesque highland scenery, see the full features of the landscape, from time to time stopped �ļ�����Ƭ, feeling very relaxed, very few of my rare good mood, seemed to forget all the care in the world.
to the sheep when the male Eight wells are very abundant along the highland pastures. Aoyama, green grass, blue sky against the background of the Tibetan village, flocks of yak grazing leisurely, occasionally more energetic in the pursuit of power, or put kick Sahuan, there is no plateau hypoxia look. grazing boys and girls or their play, or twist wool, not to care about their herds, are so leisurely, it is how a harmonious and relaxing Herding ah!
Today Luckily, a chance to see the pastoral activities for the season riding a brand new built Tibetan accountant, scattered in the grasslands where they stand and orderly manner. People dressed in festive costumes, shuttling between the clerk, probably In preparation for the race riding. race riding events each year in the Tibetan tribes, this is a unique form of entertainment to their nationality, is a nomadic young men and women may also provide complex edge wedding day. We can not know the specific schedule of race riding, a few shots left.
after Yangbajing Tibet not far to go before the Deqing village, home to teach bar sits within the boundary of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in Deqing, a small mountain village. bar is a great teaching with conservation of the young man, is said to be of noble blood, but their work and work hard, hard-working point of view, how do I can not link him with the nobility. via tie at home to teach, the bar taught me very politely, there is no time, whether to his home to sit, I am very pleased to accept the invitation to teach bar, nor do I very much hope to enlighten me on the Tibetan sentiments.
our car away from the opening of a bridge on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, stopped at the bar to teach the village before the climb up a Xiao-Po, through a Village Lane, came rolling home teaching. enter the gate, inside and outside has two courtyards, although the old house, but can see well-off family of a Tibetan . tie the roof to teach the mother is working, see us, and very excited, deftly down ladders from the roof along. tie father taught seventies, seems very strong, rough and protruding from Kashin-Beck's hand, it is conceivable that its weathered the years. tie for us to teach the mother rushed down butter tea, it tastes very authentic. I work five years in Tibet, many Tibetan tasted this unique tea, but I can mm no exaggeration to say that the drinking of tea is very memorable significance. it is really unique flavor and fine chemicals.
father was a tie taught Tibetans looks very typical old busy to see what we really do not know well, take a moment a traditional Tibetan New Year's fried products, while they come up with dried beef, filled with a table. Although I am not accustomed to some food, but I still enjoy one by one with great interest, especially the bar for us to teach special cake prepared by stick This barley noodles with added sugar, Naizha, ghee prepared food, which can be described as delicious, if I had not just lunch soon, but for the plateau should not be too full to stomach, I really want to eat a big meal.
generous hospitality, I recommend shots for the tie to teach family portrait. tie taught the father, mother very happy, quickly changing clothes, looking for a hat to sort out, unfortunately missing the population at home, only took a tie to teach, their parents and wife according to an incomplete family. integration from the typical farming family in this view, should be said that their life is substantial. If, as a microcosm of life in Tibet, and thirty years ago than when I work here, really this as it once was out.
trip due to Namtso, muddy rain, the car get dirty, to wash cars as soon as possible back to Lhasa, I reluctantly have to bid farewell to the Tibetan small courtyard, bid farewell to two veterans of the Tibetan the elderly, drove to Lhasa.
