The words pick up the previous time: we passed through the city of Yinchuan, After we passed through the city of Yinchuan, the Yellow River under the beach village, all the way into the Gansu border, came to the Gannan region, known as the nine colors, which is located in the Tibetan plateau, loess plains and the transition zone of the Longnan mountains, is the lowest elevation of the Tibetan area, if you want to feel the Tibetan scenery, but also afraid of high altitude sickness, this is the best choice!
The general impression of Gansu is arid, gray, desert Gobi, but the Gannan region is a place where the scenery is not inferior to Tibet, and those who have been there say that it is a heavenly journey that is unforgettable in this life. Due to the large number of Tibetans in the Greater Gannan region, the scenery is dominated by monasteries, wetlands and high mountains, and the attractions are relatively concentrated. The Yellow River flows through here, giving Gannan the magnificent scenery of the vast and distant, water and sky; the Tibetan people living here, giving Gannan the colorful folk customs.
This time we entered the Gannan region of the Meiren prairie, which is unique to the Tibetan Plateau alpine meadow grassland landscape. At the same time, the prairie cattle and sheep flocks, tents, simple folk, the vast grassland, will produce a return to the natural feelings of openness.
Here, we visited a recent "net red card" on the Jieyin - the warp beam tunnel!
As we all know, the scriptures of the Tibetans' beliefs are recorded on the warp beams, and when the wind blows over them once, it's as if they're reciting the scriptures, and on the warp beam tunnels, there are thousands of warp beams fluttering in the wind, and passing by underneath them will fill you with a sense of ceremony as you step into the Tibetan area.
Unfortunately, we arrived in Gannan a little early this time, the grassland flowers of various colors have not yet opened, coupled with the rainy day, did not shoot the most beautiful Jingpao Tunnel, is a pity! I hope to make up for it next time I have a chance. By the way, the Jingbao tunnel is a hidden attraction that can not be found on the map, if you want to go to the partners, please search the map starting point: Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, cooperation city, Lintan County, Yeliguan Town, you can see the Jingwai Tunnel, as well as the Meiren Prairie. Tips: Warm tips: Please pay attention to the passing vehicles when taking photos, and it is better to take photos on the roadside to avoid accidents. In the county road X406 road cooperation to the Jingbao tunnel, after entering the Zuogei Doma, please pay attention to the right side of the road, about two or three kilometers away from the Jingwai tunnel location, there is a small road, along you will be able to see a piece of sudden in the vast grasslands of the large white stone mountain.
This piece of sacred stone this local people become "heavenly stone", also known as Zo Gai Duo Ma sacred stone. It is different from the surrounding rock structure (the whole township, the ground for all granite), different from the local stone quality, the whole body reveals the white. Unspeakable origin, Tibetan herdsmen for it crowned the halo of God, in May every year on the sacrifice of Qi activities, monks send the sound of the scripture, will be inserted in the surroundings of the scripture sowing, for the white head wrapped in a white hada, praying for the Tibetan children forever safe and healthy.
In the vicinity of the sacred stone is also scattered with many pieces of white paper, above the drawing of horses and strange patterns. In fact, this thing is called the wind horse piece, commonly known as "five-color paper", is the sutra and horses and other "five male" pattern printed on the five-color square paper blocks, Tibetans in the pingkou and the top of the mountain to take advantage of the wind to fly, expressing respect for the mountain gods, heaven, but also to the gods to pray for good luck. The Tibetan people also pray to the gods for good luck. And here probably because of the Zogaidoma sacred stone - white stone, so the local people only use white wind horse piece.
In addition to the Tunnel and the Zogaidoma Stone, there are many other things to do on this highway: Meiren Prairie
Beautiful prairie
The only nine-story building in the whole of Tibet dedicated to the ancestor of each school of Tibetan Buddhism, Mira Riba Buddha Pavilion
In our driving experience this time, the power output of the Loulan and the ability to climb slopes on the plateau is also very reassuring. reassuring. In the Meiren Prairie at an altitude of nearly 4,000 and the mountains to Qinghai Province, the 2.5-liter mechanically supercharged engine effectively improves the power response at low revolutions, coupled with the electric motor, the initial acceleration performance is very good. It also accelerated effortlessly through curves and plateau climbs.
But please be reminded that when traveling in Tibetan areas, you must pay attention to the livestock next to the road, and if you come across a herd of cows, sheep or horses passing by, you must slow down and drive slowly. The end to be continued.
