As I had been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days, I was worried about whether I would be able to complete the rest of the trip until the time of departure. Thankfully, there were no accidents along the way. So no matter what, set off to go to Qinghai small partners, commonly used drugs or to prepare a little.
The parking lot of the train station, leaving this picture.
Soon they came and left. The first time I saw the car, I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car, and then I saw the car. Luckily, this middle-aged uncle of mine was not disliked by them along the way ~
Xiao Ma brother, our guide and driver, 93 years of small handsome ~ Later you will find that all the way to meet a lot of many Xiao Ma brother, haha, because they are all surnamed Ma ~
25 kilometers from Xining City, soon arrived at the first attraction - - located in Huangshazhong County, Ru Shazhong County, the city of Huangshazhong County.
Tal Monastery Beginning in the Ming Dynasty Jiajing thirty-nine years (1560), is one of the six monasteries of the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, is the founder of the Gelugpa school of Tsongkhapa's birthplace. Tsongkhapa this name does not seem to be famous, but the famous first Banchen and the first Dalai these two are his disciples. Tibetan Buddhism (commonly known as Lamaism) and Southern Buddhism, Chinese Buddhism form the world's three existing Buddhist traditions.
For the Tal Temple and Mogao Grottoes these historical and cultural attractions, I personally feel that before visiting or need to have some understanding of, otherwise it will really become a walking tour, cover your face. Fortunately, the peer partner is a bully (born with a heart of awe for the bully ~), know a lot, plus rubbed down other people's tour guide, only to understand a little bit of the Tal Temple.
A few days before writing this travelogue, Pan Xiaoting, Wang Jianlin, Guan Zhilin visited here.
First on the map:
There should be some people like me, is attracted to the above picture (more people, the weather is not very good, did not shoot the effect of the Internet). They are standing in the Tal Temple Square on the eight Rudraksha Pagoda, from east to west are Lotus Poly Tower (commemorating the birth of Shakyamuni walking seven steps, step by step to open a lotus); Bodhi Tower (commemorating the practice of Shakyamuni to become the consciousness); Four Noble Truths Tower (commemorating the Shakyamuni first turn the wheel of the Four Noble Truths); Divine Transformation Tower (commemorating the miracles of Shakyamuni when he subdued the foreigners); descending to the tower (commemorating Shakyamuni returned to the earth from paradise); The Pagoda of Restful Admonition (commemorating Shakyamuni's advice to rest the disputes of the bhikkhus); the Pagoda of Victory (commemorating Shakyamuni's victory over all devils); the Pagoda of Nirvana (commemorating Shakyamuni's entry into nirvana and immortality)
The doorways of many of the main halls are filled with believers who are kowtowing to the long head. Knocking long head, the technical term is called the five bodies to the ground, is the highest and most pious way of Tibetan worship, need to be in place to worship 100,000 times. Young people need to kowtow for four to five months, while old people need to kowtow for one year to one year and two months. Many people have a palm-width rubbing mark on each side of their body, which is the mark made by using their hands for a long time. All of these, no one to urge, no one to remind, no one check, completely out of self-consciousness, for no faith in me, can not help but from the inside to produce a kind of awe.
Dabbling with a tour guide, listening to the introduction of the 戒定慧, feeling quite a lot. Into the hall visit, you can see more introduction, such as pile embroidery, quite exquisite. Many did not take pictures, so you can only feel it in person.
As not a person of free travel, we decided not to go to these two attractions. Maybe these two attractions really do not have much to see.
On the way to Qinghai Lake, we will pass through the Laji Mountain. The temperature is the lowest until now, the elevation is the highest. Entering this area, the Unicom cell phone signal is basically none.
The road will meet a lot of people in the steep mountain walls to pick wormwood. The road will also find the hills on both sides of the road full of cows and sheep. Stopping to take pictures of people will also be endless ~
Qinghai Lake heard a long time ago, I do not know when it began to this country's largest lake can not forget. This time really come ~
The large lake, feel very chaotic, no management as. The lake is circled by different people, separated into a section of the section, each charging admission, these man-made attractions are similar, usually 10 yuan. I followed the guide and chose a so-called best. I'm still very excited to see the clean lake water. The first idea is to taste the lake water is what flavor, uh-huh, really very salty ~
The beginning of a moment to feel very excited, but stay a little longer in the feeling is also that, the water day once, the change is not great. Most of the people feel may be the same as me, after watching the rush to leave, rushed to the next attraction. The heart of the Qinghai Lake is so past.
The scenic area is located in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, due to the distance of 151km from Xining, this is also known as the 151 base, the scenic area gate is located on the side of the 109 national highway, has now become one of the most important attractions of Qinghai Lake.
Well, the guide said there was nothing to see, and it was expensive, so we didn't go, escape ~ ~
Heimahe Township is located in the southwestern part of Qinghai Lake, and it is the starting point of the west road around the lake. A big reason for choosing this place is the sunrise here, and we are no exception.
If you come to the right time, you can see the spectacular scene of Huangshui fish migration here, when we arrived, the river can only see a few sporadic. Huangshui is the only fish in Qinghai Lake, the national second-class protected animals.
Heima River Township is a very small place, accommodation can be booked from Ctrip, not peak season can arrive to see the room before determining the peak season prices are when, a few prices a day. A group of people to find a not bad, there is 24-hour hot water. When organizing luggage, I was surprised to find that many of the chips brought by my buddies have blown up, and the square package has swollen into a garden, so it is no wonder that running along the way will make you gasp, so it is a lot of low air pressure.
After settling in, we are ready to go to the back of the township to sneak around, although it is a bit cloudy. I was looking forward to watching the sunset.
As expected, the sky surprised us and the sun came out just before sunset.
After dinner, the guide said that there was a bonfire party and sent us there after it started. It was the first time I attended a bonfire party, and I was still looking forward to it. It was so dark that I couldn't see it at all, so I looked at the mileage indicator on the side of the highway with my headlights and finally found it. What makes people excited is that they actually see coyotes on the road, really wolves ah, if I get out of the car may not be killed the kind of wolf, so excited.
First of all, the Tibetan dance, social rock, do the game, the loser performs the program. Finally, the single dog and was accompanied by a small partner cruel abuse.
There is a video here.
After the party, we rushed back to rest.
The afternoon meal forget where to eat, only remembered to order a fried rice, the price and Shanghai is about the same, waiting for a long time, ate half. In the evening, the supermarket bought a bottle of eight-pot congee, the cafeteria borrowed a bowl, boiled water and warmed up as dinner.
The end of the day.
The first time I saw this, I had to go to the hospital to get a drink, and then I had to go to the hospital.
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
