What is CocoCli?
"Cocosiril" is a Mongolian word meaning "beautiful maiden", a place known to the world but extremely mysterious and unfamiliar. Billions of years ago the geological movement, will be a new highlands on top of the world, this is known as the third pole of the earth's Tibetan plateau. Due to its high alpine zone, this place has a harsh climate, lack of fresh water, and scarce vegetation, and is often referred to as a forbidden zone for human life. But for her aborigines - wild animals, this is their home, paradise, paradise.
Where is CocoCecilia?
Over the years, she has been known to the world, only her name, legend and a heroic story, but where she is, but few people know. Coco Sili belongs to the jurisdiction of Zhiduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and Qiangtang, Tibet, Xinjiang, Arjinshan, is one of the largest uninhabited areas in China, and was renamed "Qinghai Coco Sili National Nature Reserve" in September 1999, with a total area of 45,000 square kilometers, and an average elevation of 4,600 meters, with a peak of 6,860 meters, and an average height of 1,000 meters.
How to get to Cocoa Sicily?
Since Sonam Dajie organized China's first armed anti-poaching team in July 1992, the ecological status of Cocoa Sily has been gradually raised, and relevant departments at all levels have gradually issued laws and regulations on ecological environmental protection in Cocoa Sily. Since 2015, the Forest Public Security Bureau of the Cocosily Management Office has issued the Announcement on Prohibition of Illegal Traversing Activities in Cocosily, prohibiting all illegal traversing activities. That is to say, Cocosily is not accessible to all, and it is also absolutely forbidden to enter and traverse illegally, and any activities within Cocosily need to be approved by the relevant departments. As for the mysterious CocoCli, we will pass through the buffer zone and part of the core area of CocoCli to varying degrees on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and Qinghai-Tibet Railway. On the road we can enjoy the beauty of Cocosily and the wildlife. It is important to note that you are not allowed to leave the highway and you should not touch any wild animals when you see them. If you get approval to enter the hinterland of CocoClippa to conduct scientific research, ecological experience activities, do not miss this very rare opportunity, if there is no way to get approval, then let me take you to see what the real CocoClippa is like.
Receiving the notice
To this end, I checked a lot of information about CocoClippers, those about the land of the feature films, documentaries, articles and photographs, a film called "Balance" y shocked me. There is no lyrical narration, no beautiful picture, no subtle special effects, not to mention the joining of the movie industry superstar, there is just the most bone-chopping and digging for the record of what happened in this land, the record of the fearless fighters, the record of the innocent living beings, but also the record of the rampant bandits. Let me to this land instantly lit a flame of defense.
The importance of ecological stability in Cocoa Sicily has been emphasized by more and more people. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 150 kinds of cushion plants in the world, Cocoa Sicily has 50 kinds. Cocoa Sicily a **** growing 214 species of seed plants, of which 84 species are endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. It can be said that Cocosily is the last Eden of the plant family on earth. In addition to the plant family growing here, why is she not the last habitat of plateau animals. In this unique natural environment, breeding to the plateau spirit of the Tibetan antelope as the representative of a large number of wild animals. 30 kinds of mammals, 54 kinds of birds, 6 kinds of fish, in the snowy grasslands under the shelter of breeding. In the natural law of "natural selection, the survival of the fittest", Cocoa Sicily chose the Tibetan antelope, which is the most representative species in Cocoa Sicily with unique physiological habits and physiological structure. Every Tibetan antelope body is cohesive by the Cocoanutrio this piece of harsh land screening, quenching, condensing the survival of the code.
The treasure is not only the animals and plants here. Cocoa Sicily has a typical and complete alpine ecosystem, with alpine meadows, alpine grasslands, alpine swamp meadows, alpine sparse vegetation and alpine desert bush, alpine desert and other vegetation types. The vast swamps developed in the perennial permafrost zone and island permafrost zone are the highest and largest wetlands in the world. Birds soaring, hoofs racing, thousands of living creatures, in this ancient barbaric land of Coco Sicily composed the most thrilling music of life on earth, but also precisely because of this, Coco Sicily has won the reputation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau rare wildlife gene pool. It is an important area for biodiversity conservation in China.
Arriving in Yushu
On December 6, 2016, I departed Beijing and flew to Yushu, a 2,500-plus-kilometer flight that I can't remember how many times. Since 2015, I have been y rooted in this place, and many friends have given me the nickname "Yushu Little Prince", which is weird, but it really confirms my deep affection for this second home. When you first breathe from the plateau, thin but pure air, when you are the first time to be gifted with a white hada, when you first heard the wonderful beautiful Khamber songs, when you first tasted the intoxicating barley wine, when you first saw the passionate Khamber dance, you will be as in love as I am with this place, in love with this old look for a new face of the plateau of the small city of Yushu.
In addition to the earthquake, Yushu there are many, many places worth knowing, Yushu is the first in Qinghai Province, China's second established minority autonomous regions; Yushu is China's 51st World Heritage Site - Coco Sicily's location; Yushu is the location of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Lancangjiang River; Yushu is the birthplace of Khamgar culture; Yushu is the Kunlun Mountains, the eastern section of the highest peak of the Yuzu Peak. Yushu is home to the highest peak in the eastern part of the Kunlun Mountains, the Yuju Peak. In addition to this, the many mountains and rivers, the beautiful scenery and people, the long history and culture all make Yushu one of the most promising travel destinations in the world.
Familiar streets, familiar city, and a full day's flight with a stopover in Xining. After a short rest, I attended a working meeting on "Research in CocoClippa". It was the first time that I heard from the experts who had been to CocoCli, and the information was more three-dimensional and comprehensive than that from the data. After a detailed explanation of the current situation of Coco-Coco, a clear division of labor for each group, and a note of precautions, the first work in Coco-Coco was completed, and all of us returned to the hotel with immense enthusiasm and uncontrollable excitement. The excitement of the long time can not be calmed surprisingly let me in this familiar plateau town, the first time sleepless.
Heroes Square
2016.12.7, early in the morning, the sun has not yet climbed the peaks of Yushu, where people came early to the King Gesar Square. The team, including the Yushu State Tourism Bureau staff, experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hengduan Mountain scientists, Coco Sicily rangers, documentary film crews, plateau emergency doctors, logistical support team and other personnel have also been assembled, the fleet in the pilot car, the pilot car, passenger cars, security vehicles, medical rescue vehicles are also fully loaded and ready to go, a solemn and simple ceremony is underway. After the solemn oath, in Yushu state people and the majority of environmental protection volunteers in the attention of the Yushu, this from Yushu, through Zhiduo County, Qumalai County, not frozen spring, the Kunlun Mountain Yuzhu Peak, Sonam Dajie protection station, the newborn lake, the Kusai Lake, Zhuo Nai Lake, the Sun Lake, and finally arrived at Bukhadazhan Peak, the journey of more than 1,000 kilometers of the scientific research journey officially embarked on the journey.
The most widely circulated story about the past of Coco-Colli is perhaps the story of Sonam Dajie's defense of Coco-Colli and protection of the Tibetan antelope. The Tibetan antelope, perhaps a million years as a unit to evolve and grow an unparalleled fur, that is the ultimate fur, the Tibetan antelope survival of the treasure, but also become the clothes of their death. In the poacher's gun, even if millions of years of natural deduction, evolutionary crystallization and the interlocking laws of survival and how solid and incomparable, instantly also by the cold bullets pierced, bullet holes left the taste of greed, the muzzle of the direction of a bloody twilight. People with eyes glittering with selfishness and profiteering run towards prosperity, leaving behind this puddle of obliterated humanity. The fate of every Tibetan antelope and other wildlife in Cocosilia is closely linked to the fate of the blue planet on which mankind depends for its survival, and to the fate of mankind itself, but those who are driven by the interests of poachers do not care.
In Sonam Dajie's hometown, Zhiduo County, Yushu, Qinghai, there is a square called Heroes Square. Here, Zhiduo County leaders personally tell the story of Sonam Dajie. This is not only a hero's deeds, he is the epitome of thousands of people in Cocosilia, standing here, only to stand in awe. The gallery at the back of the Heroes Square sculpture introduces Sonam Dajie's life story in detail.
His sacrifice shook all sectors of society at the time, but also so, the protection of CocoClippa, anti-poaching and poaching operations have gained more manpower, material and financial resources to help. Today's CocoClippa is more quiet and peaceful, and there is no more bloodthirsty killing of poachers, no more frantic digging of poachers in pursuit of huge profits, and no more smoke and heroes collapsed in a pool of blood.
Sonan Dajie Protection Station
On December 9, 2016, the winter morning in Qumalai County was cold enough to make people shiver. After a day's rest, the team got up early to equip their bags, CocoCli is an uninhabited area, even in the corresponding protection station is still a lack of supplies, in order not to add extra burden to the patrol team, the next few days of so the supplies have to be properly prepared here. Vegetables, meat, drinking water and other living materials purchased in advance, as well as oxygen, first-aid medicines, vehicle emergency tools filled three logistic support vehicles. The first time I went to the Cocoanuts, I had to rely on myself for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and I had to stuff a car full of tents and sleeping bags.
On the way to the first station in the Kunlun Mountains, we passed by the Monument to the Heroes of Sonam Dajie. The team bowed in front of the statue of the hero, and offered a symbol of good luck, peace, holy hatha, accompanied by the team doctor Hanmei teacher was a classmate of the hero Sonam Dajie, every time she can not help but weep. Sonam Dajie successively twelve times into the Coco Sicily no man's land, wildlife resources survey and protection of the Tibetan antelope work, known as the Coco Sicily wildlife protection first person.
January 18, 1994, 40-year-old Sonam Dajie and four members of the team in escorting criminals traveling to the Sun Lake near the criminals attacked, when people find him in the uninhabited area of Coco-Coco Sily, he still maintains the position of changing bullets. Sonam Dajie sacrificed, in August 1997, by the private environmentalists funded the construction of Sonam Dajie martyrs monument. The monument was erected next to the Qinghai-Tibet Highway at the Kunlun Mountain Pass in the Cocosily Reserve. Monument height of 5.8 meters, the front set martyrs statue, the back with Tibet, Chinese two kinds of text description of the life of Sonam Dajie martyrs. 10 years, due to changes in the foundation permafrost layer, earthquake and other impacts, the monument body tilted to the south of about 25 degrees, about 20 centimeters down, guardrail surface marble veneer more than one place to take off. The new monument has also been inaugurated in August 2013, the scale is bigger and more majestic, passing vehicles or stop to admire or honk, have their own way to the hero to express their respect.
10 kilometers east of here, is the highest peak in the eastern section of the Kunlun Mountains - Yuzhu Peak. Arrived at the Jade Mountain, intuition of the smallness of people, the towering Kunlun Mountain is never the book that has a story of God's place, and now stands in front of the eyes, people have sighed! Sigh is this flat 6,178 meters of majestic stature, sigh is this snow-covered flag cloud lingering great beauty, sigh is this years and years of the river accumulated drop by drop from the spectacular glaciers, but also sighed this obviously lifting the snow line and the traces left by this glacier melting. From the Kunlun Mountains at the foot of the Jade Peak, looking back at Cocosilia, it is a vast piece of earth, brown earth, revealing the mystery of the earth, a piece of earth full of unknown.
In the eastern edge of Coco-Colli, south of the Kunlun Mountain pass at 2952 kilometers of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, was just a place without a name, it is just located in the Qinghai-Tibet Highway between the Frozen Springs and the five beams, near the edge of the Chumar River. Now, the map has been clearly marked out in this new place name: Sonam Dajie station.
From a distance, a red and white light steel structure close to the activities of the house, fairy tale-like protruding in the Chumar River on top of the wilderness. It also looks like a plateau on the post, declared to the world to defend the Cocoanutili Nature Reserve oath. On the roof, the words "Sonam Dajie Protection Station" stand in the boundless wilderness as the martyr did before his death, watching with deep love and vigilance, not giving any chance to any lucky elements to take advantage of. Over the years, in the efforts of all parties and help, Sonam Dajie protection station from the original simple light steel structure activity room, gradually expanding the function is relatively complete, relatively well-equipped, able to meet the patrol members of the daily work and life of the brick house.
That night, we worked with the team members *** with the labor, *** with the meal, the protection of the station does not have enough beds, we used some cushions to play up the bunk. And teammates with the same food and living together, although the conditions are slightly difficult, but more into them, experience this different life.
The starry night sky in Cocoa Slippery, which I have always been obsessed with photographing, was a special night, but I was also told not to go out of the gate of the station because it is often infested with large wild animals. The solar panels used to generate electricity in the station became a good prospect, and when the night was a little deeper, the howling of wolves came from the distance, and the hoofs and legs flew away from the near distance, making a sound, this night not only harvested a piece of Cocoanutilian starry sky, but also made me more and more obsessed with this place.
First encounter with the Tibetan antelope
2016.12.10, the team got up early, everyone was full of energy, although the Sonamdajie protection station has an altitude of nearly 4500 meters. The train on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway crossed the rising sun. The caravan embarked on the road to Coco-Colli in the true sense of the word from a fork in the road next to the station. The first time to Coco-Coco, a sweep of the previous impression of the inherent here, although in winter, the meadow has been withered yellow, but the mountain is attached to the great plains in the towering snowy mountains below, pulling the side of the emerald green Tibetan blue lakes, as far as the eye can see all the beauty of the unseen.
Cocoa Sicily, a beautiful young girl, and like a mother, the great not to say, silently nurturing the embrace of every living thing. And I think he is male, like bare shoulders and hair Kamba Hanzi, far cold, resolute gaze, an arm to hold up the world here, each quietly passing by with the breath of the plateau of the elves, are in his solid bosom, hiding from the wind and rain.
Due to the unique geography and climate, this place has become the largest no man's land on earth in addition to the polar regions. Years of change, geological changes, into hundreds of broken jade scattered beads of quiet lakes, decorated in her sprawling ice skin above, in addition to the sound of the wind and the sound of the rain and snow falling broken sound, in this flourishing wild yak, wild ass, white-lipped deer, Tibetan antelope and other highland elves is her perennial companion. Since September 2009, Zhuo Nai Lake lake water due to ecological changes continue to overflow to the southeast nearly 300 kilometers, forming a width of 30 meters to 50 meters, the depth of 20 meters to 30 meters of the river, resulting in Zhuo Nai Lake and the Kusai Lake, the Haidinuoer Lake and other strings. Outflow of lake water flooded nearly 100 small lakes, has formed an area of about 200 square kilometers of newborn lake.
On the way to the new lake, I first saw the galloping Tibetan antelope, the elf-like figure, beautiful to fly the same running posture, stepped out of the body after a long dust smoke, that is the appearance of freedom, that is also the appearance of nature. If you witnessed this as I did, you would believe that it has survived on this land for tens of millions of years because it belongs here. I picked up the camera, 150-600mm lens in front of the sturdy Tibetan antelope seems particularly bulky, as if the air has been frozen for a moment, leaving only its hoofs and flying figure and my quiet breathing and the sound of the shutter that kept flashing, and finally, captured it that intoxicating posture.
Cocoa Sicily's weather is complicated and changeable, unexpectedly we encountered dusty weather, sandy winds and no way to go, in order to be safe, we turned the road and traveled to the Wudaoliang protection station for repair. Wudaoliang protection station and Sonam Dajie protection station almost exactly the same layout, listening to the protection station staff said is later unified construction.
Sudden encounter with a sandstorm
2016.12.11, Wudaoliang to Zhuo Nai Lake there is another road, rather than a road, but just a rutted mark of the patrol line on the mountain beam. It looks like a flat horse in Cocosilia, but in fact it is a place of crisis. At this point in the winter is not bad, not yet sandy place is a piece of tundra, the traces left behind in the summer car trap is still clearly visible. Most of the rivers have frozen or entered the dry season to reveal the riverbed, only a few salt lakes shimmering waves. If you're traveling in CocoClippa and don't have an experienced ranger to lead you, it's easy to get lost, and the safest way to do that is to follow the ruts.
The more you go into the hinterland of CocoClippa, the more you can meet groups of wild animals. The Tibetan antelope is undoubtedly still the master of this place. From the beginning of the three or two, four or five, and now in front of the eyes of the run through is a dozen or two dozen big team. Usually at this point in the Tibetan antelope team is often a ram led by a team of ewes, which is one of the signals that they are breeding offspring.
November every year, is the mating season of the Tibetan antelope, when you can see the male Tibetan antelope chasing the female Tibetan antelope, and the following April, pregnant Tibetan antelope from the Sanjiangyuan, Qiangtang and Altunshan every corner of the sunshine to the Coco-Cecil Nature Reserve is located in the hinterland of the Zhuo Nai Lake assembly. This is a migration full of hope, this is a migration to the life of the precious, but also to this fertile homeland salute. At that time, Zhuo Nai Lake has become a large maternity ward of the Tibetan antelope, where the climate is mild, abundant water and grass.
The soft life seems to have a tenacious strength from the beginning. The migration is a long way, and it is especially difficult when crossing the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The vigilant ones are particularly sensitive to the roar of trains and fearful of passing vehicles. Now, every time the Tibetan antelope crossing the highway, there will be organized by the volunteers of the "traffic light" light up, passing vehicles are also more and more actively cooperate with this action, so that the plateau spirit of the Tibetan antelope can safely migrate back to the Zhuo Nai Lake.
When we were about to arrive at Zhonai Lake, we encountered the most serious bad weather in this trip. Zhuo Nai Lake direction blew a chilling sandstorm, which has been the second time in this trip to meet the dusty weather, people outside the car almost can not stand, the sky yellow sand step by step to the caravan was swallowed into the dust storm in a while, visibility is almost zero. Outside the body of the car roaring gusts of wind swept up the sand and dust beat against the windows, the momentary wind so that the static stop of the SUV can not help but shake the body. Everyone has fallen into silence, anxiously waiting for the guidance of the pilot car, has almost reached the destination, no one wants to give up and turn back again.
Looking out the window of the sky sand inside the apprehension, looking out the window flying sand particles in the window glass along the lower edge of the pile up a small layer of "sand dunes", the intercom finally came to the instruction, according to the experts, the sandstorm and Zhuo Nai Lake has a direct link to the collapse of the embankment, the decision to slow down the speed of the car, continue to move forward as soon as possible to find the cause of the formation of this sandstorm and the cause of the collapse of the lake. The reason for the formation of this sandstorm and get ready. The words fell, only to see the pilot car door in the gusts of wind hard to open, calling us all off. In the case of everyone confused to see the flag of this research trip has been unfurled in the wind, we have to understand, is to leave a precious group photo in this rare sandstorm.
As the sky darkened, the convoy, which was already suffering from obstructed visibility in the sandstorm, was once again faced with a difficult situation. After driving in a straight line for a long time, the pilot car suddenly made a ninety-degree turn toward the hillside, and the caravan followed closely behind. Gradually, the wind and sand became smaller, and the sky became clearer and clearer, and we managed to break through the sandstorm's encirclement before the sun went down. Zhuo Nai Lake protection station is higher, can clearly observe the Zhuo Nai Lake, and successive sandstorms are also in the formation of Zhuo Nai Lake.
The silver moonlight illuminated CocoClippa, the wind stopped, and the tired team unloaded their supplies and prepared dinner. The experts were analyzing the specific causes of the sandstorm and the direction of the next day's expedition and route. The conditions are limited, the supplies are even more scarce, no one cares about the food and taste, live in a comfortable place, for the first time in CocoClippa, this is already very good, and in the face of perennial rooted in this patrol, we have no qualification to be picky.
Fragile ecology
2016.12.12. the day of universal online shopping, we are in CocoClippa, a place with no network, there is just with this fragile ecology and many rare wildlife. Early in the morning, the scientific research team was fully loaded and set off to Zhonai Lake. In winter, the surface of Zhuo Nai Lake has been frozen on a thick layer of ice, from the protection station from afar, Zhuo Nai Lake is like a silver mirror, glittering with light.
Not far from the protection station, the caravan stopped, the original, this was originally the lake Zhuo Nai shoreline, but now because of the Zhuo Nai Lake breach of the embankment into a bare sandy land, which is the formation of Zhuo Nai Lake area of the main reason for the formation of one of the sandstorms. Continuing to Zhuo Nai Lake, clearly visible originally covered by the lake land exposed to the air after weathering traces.
In mid-to-late August and early September 2011, due to continuous heavy rainfall, the water surface of Zhuo Nai Lake in the hinterland of Coca-Colli rose so rapidly that it collapsed on the eastern shore of the lake, and the overflowing floodwaters rushed out of the plateau into a deep and wide gully that flowed into Kusai Lake. As a result, the area of Lake Chonai shrunk from 280 square kilometers to 168 square kilometers. Between September 20 and 30 of that year, Lake Kusai overflowed, connecting with Lake Haidinuoer to its east. To the east of Lake Haidin Nur, there is another small lake called "Salt Lake", which in turn overflowed and fed into Salt Lake Haidin Nur. The expanded Salt Lake shore is less than 8 kilometers from the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, which is now the new lake.
The dust and smoke raised in the distance attracted our attention, at this time the Zhuo Nai Lake does not have the conditions for the formation of sandstorms, it turned out to be a few male Tibetan antelope running, in order to capture this wonderful picture, the camera must also follow them to move, have to admire the speed of Tibetan antelope running, almost turn the person dizzy. 600mm lens, as a machine-gun like shutter to be able to leave their silhouettes.
The first time I saw a Tibetan antelope, I saw it in the sky.
Standing at a high place to Zhuo Nai Lake, near two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhuo Nai Lake Lake surface began to scrape up sand and dust, and then dispersed to the east, with the passage of time, the sand and dust will be more and more large until the formation of varying sizes of sandstorms to the east side of Zhuo Nai Lake swept. The pilot group immediately decided to go down the mountain as soon as possible to Zhuo Nai Lake breach of the embankment to carry out the investigation.
After descending the mountain, there is a section of the road needs to be in the Zhuo Nai Lake ice traveling, in the Zhuo Nai Lake on top of the more aware of the damages caused by the collapse of the dike on the Zhuo Nai Lake is how serious, the shore of the former water level line can be seen clearly, the once plentiful water and grass production is now full of devastation, it is regrettable. And how to manage is a big problem, if we let Zhuo Nai Lake continue to develop in this way, in the future we may never find Zhuo Nai Lake, only a "Zhuo Nai River" left. But in Cocosilia, any man-made intervention (digging, repairing dykes, and straightening the river) is an unnatural intervention, and the results of such unnatural interventions are often uncontrollable.
In front of an east-west trending gully with clear signs of scouring, we see the breach of Lake Chonai. So far, there is still a steady stream of water flowing out of the lake, although it is winter, the lake down the trend in the extremely cold temperatures under the action of the formation of a drop in the two meters or so of the ice waterfall, and this is only the first level, the ice waterfall below the formation of a small lake, at this time is also being covered by the uneven thickness of the ice, and then down the small waterfalls is a higher drop, along the huge amount of lake water in the breach of the impact out of the river flow to the newborn! Lake.
As night fell, the Tibetan brothers in the house hummed the songs of their homeland as they cooked dinner, and a roomful of people hummed along. There's hardly a sound outside the station, and the vast Cocoanuts is as asleep as ever. Unlike the quiet earth, the starry sky overhead is boiling, and although the moonlight is a nuisance, it's as mesmerizing as an inverted bowl of stars.
A Scary Scene
On December 13, 2016, the expedition to Lake Zhuo Nai came to a temporary end after obtaining sufficient samples and data information. The original plan to continue to Sun Lake and Bukhadasaka Peak was also canceled due to the fact that the road was found to be blocked and impassable when the pilot car was exploring the road. All members of the team were slightly disappointed, which meant that the trip of the "Cocoa Sicily Mystery Tour" would come to an early end. However, the camping program that was not implemented earlier is scheduled to be carried out tonight, and some people are in favor of it, some people choose to quit, I naturally belong to the camp of approval.
It's said that the return trip will seem quicker than the last, but this time it's been extraordinarily long. The dust storm covered up the ruts on the way in, and the pilot car could only be oriented by traditional means, and even though it had been traveled countless times, there were still times when it went the wrong way. When I came here, I only saw herds of Tibetan antelope, but on the way back, I was surprised to see wild yaks, Tibetan wild asses and yellow sheep. The Tibetan wild ass is probably the best wildlife in the whole Tibetan area, and the hunting of few natural enemies has kept their numbers at a relatively high baseline. Gray-white fur in the snowy mountains, grasslands, lakes look particularly beautiful against the backdrop. Just as I was leisurely photographing the scenery outside the window, a thrilling scene occurred.
Perhaps our caravan had accidentally violated the territory of the wild yaks while searching for the route. Soon after the three wild yaks that had originally dashed away disappeared into the horizon, the largest of them rushed straight toward our caravan. Each vehicle immediately took emergency plan to avoid danger. The tail car was being watched by the ranger, who was directing the tail car's action, but the wild yak just wouldn't let go. After some battle of wits and courage, finally avoided the wild yak's very lethal attack.
The wild yak is different from the herdsman's domestic yak, they are cautious but not afraid, even if they are injured, they will not fall down, the ranger said this is a special case, but it also happens from time to time, under the premise of protecting the wildlife, try to avoid, and if there is a real danger to take the necessary measures. The Yak is a wild yak, and it's a great way to get out of the way of the yak, and it makes us more careful when we're traveling.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, when the moon is the largest and fullest in each month, the moon rose extraordinarily early and brightly, and the caravan arrived at the Wudaoliang neighborhood to look for a good place to camp tonight, with a backdrop of wind. One tent after another dotted the moonlit Coco-Colli. The green multifunctional tents took the responsibility of the kitchen. At an altitude of more than 4,000 meters and a temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, the drinking water has been frozen into a piece, thrown into the pot, brown sugar, mash, round a cooing, sweet and sticky dinner is ready.
Such an experience may not be experienced by many people in their lifetime. The temperature has been as low as minus thirty degrees, and the extremely cold weather has created a thick layer of white frost inside and outside the tent, and even the inside of the bottle has been frozen when you open the thermos. The good thing is that the warmth measures are sufficient, the sleeping bag is very warm. Close your eyes but how can not sleep, came to the last night in Cocoa Slippery, as I arrived before the same, lost sleep.
Walking out of the tent, the moonlight flickered on the night of the full moon, and the starlight was like every night here. In just a few days, I was able to write about only a small part of the experience, and the scenes and experiences that blew me away will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Cocoa Sicily from now on for me is not only a name, a place, I think it is a brand, a kind of attachment, a shock and a rebirth. People in the fame and fortune of the pursuit of illusory success, traveling the sea of the prodigal son just want to be captured by the beauty of the soul. But when you come to Coco Sicily, the greatness of life, ecological fragility is not far away from us, and we are closely related. All irresponsible squandering of resources and destruction of the balance will backfire and cause irreversible bad effects on ourselves.
