For me, Tibet is a place with deep memories and attachment. Looking back seven years ago, I had a journey full of unknowns, dangers and surprises. I set foot on the road from Lhasa to Nepal through Ali alone. After the snow closed the mountain, the vehicles skidded on the edge of the cliff, stayed in the wild at MINUS 30 degrees, and met interesting travelers who met by chance. Now, I recall what courage made me embark on this journey. Maybe at some point in my life, I need to force myself, and I have too many worries to move forward. People are on the road and regain their original heart. Seven years later, when my friend offered to travel to Tibet by car, I still yearned for it and returned to Lhasa.
Before I set out, I thought about what it would be like to return to Tibet. Seven days later, when I was sitting in a bar in Lhasa, I remembered some people and things and felt very calm and indifferent, so I drank this cup for my courage and growth.
Through the images and words recorded in this notebook, I will share with you the bits and pieces of this trip. Maybe we had similar feelings and songs.

Chengdu-Yingxiu-Siguniang Mountain Shuangqiaogou-Danba? -Let's go.
Chengdu was chosen as the base of the trip, and the "traffic jam" during May 1 impressed the friends in Shanghai. On the rickety stop-and-go road, we passed Dujiangyan, Yingxiu, Wolong Canyon, Balangshan Tunnel, Siguniang Mountain, Shuangqiaogou and Xiaojin County, and finally arrived at the first destination of Danba after 8 hours' drive.
Only when I visited Danba did I find the most beautiful village in China worthy of the name. Driving all the way on the Panshan Highway, I was fascinated by oxygen and fainted in the grass. The cowbell not far away sounded like a dream.
This kind of beauty is not created beauty, but primitive beauty, which has the power to touch people's hearts.

Danba Tibetan Village-Bamei-Tagong-xinduqiao town-Yajiang-Girl
Next, we will gradually enter high altitude areas. Because of our previous experience, we all prepared drugs to deal with the high rebellion in advance, starting from Danba Tibetan Village, passing through Yala Snow Mountain and Moshi Park, and arriving at Tagong Grassland.
Tagong Grassland is a good place to take photos and eat beef skewers. Tibetan beauty who is "the beauty of beef skewers" can sell beef skewers and chat. We listened to her while eating beef skewers: "How much is a yak? She bought a house in Chengdu a few years ago and earned it. Now she wants to find a boyfriend in Chengdu. " Interested men can go.
After protein was replenished, we continued to the west and arrived in xinduqiao around two or three o'clock that afternoon. We decided to go to Blackstone City to see Gongga Snow Mountain, but our insistence was broken by the requirements of forest fire prevention, and the original route could not pass. In order to prevent over-enthusiastic pilgrims from crossing the defense line, local Tibetans took turns to guard it. When we arrived, we happened to meet a Tibetan girl, about 12 or 3 years old, with a pure face. We did our best.
Finally, the little girl was helpless and asked her mother to show us another way. The route was rugged and we groped all the way. It took us about 1 hour to reach the top of the mountain.
Unfortunately, because of the strong wind and low temperature at the top of the mountain, we groped in the snow for about half an hour after getting off the bus and failed to witness the most beautiful moment of Gongga Snow Mountain.
I never thought that the splendor of Yajiang night made up for this regret.

Yajiang-Litang-Batang-Dingzhen
In the morning, everyone was a little tired. They dawdled until 10 before starting from Yajiang, walking slowly along the meadow, feeling the wide sight that can never be found in the city, and being surprised that the scenery between the meadows can be connected, especially suitable for chatting, staring blankly or missing.
After winding all the way, we arrived at Litang, Ding Zhen's hometown. When we arrived, we began to make an appointment to see Ding Zhen, but he was not in the county seat that day, so we had to give up and choose to visit the Cangyang Jiacuo Memorial Hall. Litang is indeed as vast as the propaganda film, like a bronze mirror, dotted with lush trees and unmelted snow, which can be described as "a patchwork of scenery."
After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Litang, we continued to walk up the endless river valley, passing through Damaoya grassland and sister lake, and finally reached Batang. In the evening, at my instigation, we all chose the sauna? Massage, although the journey is beautiful, but the fatigue of the body is also worth relieving.

Batang-Kepugou Scenic Area-Mangkang-Beauty-Poetry
Today is the richest day of the whole journey, so we decided to swim slowly. The beauty of Batang lies in the combination of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas into a poem, which constantly changes with the change of light, making people forget the reality and walk into the poem.
In today's trip, the poverty alleviation ditch scenic spot has just been developed, so you can't drive by car. We can only take a sightseeing bus. The tour guides we met along the way were all local aborigines, and they enthusiastically showed us the way. When I arrived at the Cuopu Temple, it was just snowing lightly, and there was no beer and fried chicken on the mountain. Making instant noodles and eating hot spring eggs is also one of the interesting things in life.
After visiting the Thorpe Temple, we "crossed" the Jinsha River and officially entered the Tibetan area. We then went to Mangkang, the first county town after entering Tibet. Before we went, we planted "Gagamian" with local characteristics. Although it is local ingredients and local craftsmanship, it is not particularly suitable because it is used to sweets. Four people didn't eat much. In addition, after entering Tibetan areas, Tibetans are more inclined to contact with local people, probably because of some cultural differences. Later, we never met Tibetans as enthusiastic as Sichuan, and we didn't want to hear me sing.

Rumei-Zuogong-Bangda-Basu-Escaping Dan
Everyone was in high spirits after a good night's rest. In the morning, we set out from Rumei, crossed the Lancang River and crossed Dongdashan, the highest mountain pass on the Sichuan-Tibet line.
In the morning, Lu Yu Yak simply chose a beef hot pot at noon, which was bought by Meituan, but the boss forgot to verify it and was caught up by the boss riding a motorcycle. It's a good thing he didn't go far, otherwise he would have escaped.
Later, we crossed the Bunda grassland, climbed the Yala Mountain and saw the famous "Nujiang 72 Turn" on the Sichuan-Tibet line. This continuous mountain road turns, and there are often oncoming cars. The driver's pleasure lies in the constant secretion of adrenaline, and the co-pilot's pleasure lies in enjoying the wonderful perspective without having to react quickly.
After visiting the Nujiang Grand Canyon, we arrived in basu county. Be sure to recommend the local Tricholoma matsutake hotpot. Although it is no longer the season to eat Tricholoma matsutake, the soup is bright and fragrant, and the soul stretches in the food at this moment.
If you pass by, remember to try it. After dinner, the four of us walked into the square and danced around the fire with the local Tibetans. It's a pity that you can't shoot a bright bonfire, there is fire and dance. All we need is a large glass of wine to get drunk on the grass.

Basu-Ranwu-Accidental 1
After the sixth day of the journey, some accidents began to appear.
It took about 2.5 hours to drive from Basu to Ranwu Lake, and the water tank of the car burst. Fortunately, there is a garage nearby, but the parts need to be shipped from Lhasa, so we can only change our itinerary and stay in Ranwu.
It was so boring to stay in the garage that we decided to take a Tibetan car to Ranwu Lake and Renlongba Glacier at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. It took us three grown men about 65,438+0 hours to reach the glacier on foot in the snow. Fortunately, the three of us were not serious in such an environment and saw each other laughing in the snow. Soon, we won't remember what we said at that time, but we will definitely remember the cold not far away and the warmth around us.
But when we got back to the repair shop, we couldn't laugh. When we returned to the garage, we learned that the car carrying the parts had an accident. We need to wait another day. Coupled with another friend's serious rebellion, the trip was greatly disrupted. But the journey is like life, and accidents are inevitable. Sometimes we have to improvise, and sometimes we have to accept it gladly.

Ran Wu-Bomi-Accident 2
After many times of communication with the owner of the auto repair shop, he finally agreed to borrow our car to play in Bomi. The next day, the car was repaired, and he took our car to change it, so that we could save some travel time. After arriving in Bomi, because it was at a low altitude, our friends with high resistance were much better. After we planned to eat the local famous pickled chicken in the evening, we ordered slightly spicy food. As a result, we found it too spicy after serving, because their spicy rating was slightly spicy.
After dinner, the three of them chose to catch up on sleep, while I explored around alone. Bomi is a small town with beautiful scenery, and you can see the snow-capped mountains on both sides. Wandering all the way is also pleasant.

Bomi-Tongmai-Lulang-Linzhi-Lhasa-Home Way
When I get up in the morning, I will wait for the notice that the car is repaired, and I will relax. After lunch at noon, the car arrived, and then I set off at once, driving two days a day. First go to Tongmai, cross Tongmai Bridge, cross the dense forest like Lulang Sea, and climb the Sejila Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,700 meters. This mountain is also the best place to watch Nange Bawa Peak.
Climbing over Mount Sedila is all downhill. This mountain road turns a lot, and finally reaches Linzhi County in the lower valley of Yang Ni, and then enters Linla Highway. The 400km expressway is much easier than Kaishan Mountain, and the scenery along the way is also very good. You can try this paragraph again next time. It's relaxing and beautiful. After running for 9 hours, I finally arrived in Lhasa. Although it was nearly 1 1 o'clock in the evening, I accompanied my friend to the hospital for dental treatment and then sent him back to the hotel.
But there were always unfinished things in my heart at that time, so I went to Potala Palace late at night to leave my footprints. I went to the hotel for a hundred days alone, ended my obsession with having a drink in Lhasa and went back to the hotel to rest and sleep.
During this journey, although the body is hard and tired, the heart is pure, relaxed and satisfied.
Recalling many interesting people and things I met along the way, I also recalled myself and my initial heart.
When I was young, I hoped to go further and see more scenery. Nowadays, the more scenery you see, the more you need to remind yourself not to neglect the greater pursuit for immediate interests.
Next stop, and then start.
