D1:November 2 Shanghai - Lhasa Departure: November 2, 14:15 Hongqiao International Airport Tibet Airlines TV9802 Stop: Chongqing Arrival: November 2, 20:20 Gongga Airport Terminal, 8: 20 p.m. on time to the Gongga Airport, out of the airport before the police at the boarding gate to check their ID cards, each passenger leaving the airport to take out their ID cards in the machine photo a photo, and it was all 14th century check. It was dark and I got on the airport bus. I couldn't see anything out of the window, and the ride was breathless and a little nerve-wracking. An hour later, I arrived at the Civil Aviation Terminal on Nyonya South Road. When I was about to arrive at the Civil Aviation Terminal, the Potala Palace suddenly came into my eyes. There was a large palace on the hill, very spectacular and exciting. Get off the bus and go to the booked hotel. When I took a taxi in front of the Civil Aviation Passenger Terminal, I saw the online Tibet cab carpooling, which is where the driver pulls a passenger and will keep greeting you and driving you together. Xiao Xi and I carpooled to the hotel alone, and one person got off relatively early. The room is general, barely up to the four-star standard, because I read the online guide, there is psychological preparation, so do not expect too much from the hotel in Tibet. Because of the fear of high reflexes, the next day is ready to go to Linzhi, to avoid high reflexes. The hotel is only booked for one day.
In the evening, I wanted to use the time to learn more about Lhasa, so I wanted to eat a late-night snack, although I was not hungry. When we took a cab, Xixi and I went to the online Tianhai Night Market. Tianhai night market is mainly barbecue, divided into Sichuan barbecue and halal barbecue. Szechuan BBQ is the same as the general BBQ in Shanghai. Halal barbecue is all about halal stuff, like roasted sheep's head, sheep's hooves, sheep's eyes, and sheep's intestines. Looking for a halal barbecue, ordered fried sheep's head, lamb kebabs, grilled sheep's hooves, grilled sheep's trotters, mutton soup, because off the plane, self-consciousness, to get. The above food, fried sheep's head flavor is not bad, the other are not good, including Lhasa beer. Beer personally like Qingdao pure raw food. Xiao Xi likes to eat vermicelli, added vermicelli in the mutton soup, but the mutton soup is too salty to drink. Bought a small watermelon at the fruit stall and went back to the hotel. Back to the hotel, the flavor of the watermelon is really strange. After the watermelon buffet breakfast in other hotels in Lhasa, the taste of watermelon in Lhasa winter is not good.
Well, go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. I fell asleep right away, but when I woke up from my dream, I realized it was only 1am. Sissy, who was beside me, said she hadn't been asleep and couldn't sleep anyway. Then I looked up symptoms of hyperreflexia on my phone and realized that it's hard to fall asleep, which is one of the symptoms of hyperreflexia. Shit, give Cee Cee Rhodiola Rosea a couple days in advance. But still encountered a high level of reflexes on how to prevent it. Then also felt a bit of a headache because of waking up. Because of the drinking, induced a high reaction, and then never slept again. The world was looking for Chowder, and he lay there all night.
D2:November 3 Lhasa - Mira Pass - the mainstay - Bayi Town (Linzhi regional administrative center) sleepless nights. I woke up at 8am and went for breakfast. The buffet breakfast at the hotel was good. After breakfast went to look for a car. Go to 58 to find a car in the same town. Now, in the off-season, there are a variety of rental car options. After the first phone call, it was settled. I was going to borrow a Pajero or a Baja, but found a 500 day old Honda 2.7v6 4WD for $800 MSRP. As we had planned, there were no purely off-road trails on our trip. The suspension of the Honda is not a specialized off-roader, but a higher chassis suv like this would suffice, and the Honda did, right off the bat. By 10 a.m., we were on our way to Linzhi.
Because of time problems, the first day of driving directly to Linzhi. Stopped on the way to take pictures (such as Mira Pass and the mainstay stopped to take a picture), did not go to any attractions. Even so. It was already dark by the time we got to Linzhi. Speaking of photo ops, we have to mention our navigator, Xiaoxi xi, who was excited to come down and take a picture of Yangnihe. Later, while taking a beautiful picture of her at Mira Pass, he realized that there was no memory card in the camera. Xiao Xi Xi, who once considered himself a wise man, had forgotten to bring a memory card. Luckily, Xiao Xi Xi's newly acquired note 2 shoots very well, making up for the lack of a DSLR. It was smooth sailing all the way. It was already past 19:30 on August 1, and it was just getting dark, because Tibet and Shanghai are separated by two time zones. Although it is the same time as Beijing time, the sun usually rises at nine o'clock in the morning and sets at seven o'clock in the evening in winter. After a long day of hunger, I looked for food on Volkswagen Dianping and decided to go to the Murdock Stone Pot Mushroom Soup House. My co-pilot's navigator comrade, Sissy, spotted the signs for Linzhi Minshan Restaurant and Murdock Mushroom Soup House almost simultaneously. They were only one corner away from each other.
Parking at the hotel, the car is drinkable, then leave your luggage behind and go straight to the Murdock Stone Pot Mushroom Soup, 280 yuan, small pot, and the Lulang Stone Pot Chicken is almost the same. Personally, although the flavor of the chicken is not as good as Lulang stone pot chicken, but in terms of mushrooms, more economical than Lulang stone pot chicken. 280 yuan pot has a lot of mushrooms, but Lulang stone pot chicken only chicken and ginseng no mushrooms. The addition of the mushrooms was an added bonus. Anyway, Creek and I didn't finish what we ate. Reading the store's description of the Murdock stone pot, it claimed that the pot is made of soapstone and can withstand high temperatures of 2,000 degrees Celsius. Soapstone is only produced in Motuo, the whole stone chiseled out a pot. After eating the stone pot chicken, it was already past eight o'clock. I drove around the town of Bayi to try my luck and see if I could load the ammo into Xiaoxi's SLR, which is a CF memory card. I was worried about being able to get a DSLR memory card in a place like this. Adult beauty, in the convention center, actually found a computer store. I went in and walked around and bought kingston 16G cf card for 200 bucks, pretty cheap. I was relieved, if I couldn't get the card, the rest of the day would be bad. If Sissy had come to Tibet to start a war with an unloaded guy, she would have been mad at me. Now that she's satisfied, I'm relieved. Go back in high spirits.
There are also many places in the country that claim to be the mainstay.
Lady piggyback out
D3:November 4 Bayi Town - Sejila Pass - Lulang Forest Sea - Bomi six o'clock in the morning to get up. Out of the gate, Yangni River is just across the street. The sound of the water is very loud. 7 o'clock, the river is dark and you can't see anything but the stars. There is only one word to describe the stars, and that is 'many'. Forgive the language. The sun grinded down and didn't come out until 9am. Tried to get Dex for breakfast but it didn't open until ten. Had to wait for Sai to get up and leave the room to go to Dex. Today's goal is to go straight to Bomi. All the way out of Bayi, Yangni Pavilion, Shenshan, Giant Berlin only passed by, did not go in. It didn't take long to reach the entrance of Sedera Mountain. Many people, cars and tripods were already there. Now November is the off-season for traveling and the weather was sunny. The peak of Namcha Barwa, which is known as the Pinnacle, did not even put on the veil of mystery. At a glance, without a trace of clouds, the freckles on the face of Namcha Barwa Peak are clear. Nothing to say, crazy a shot. At noon, I want to try the famous Lulang stone pot chicken. I did not expect to pass by Lulang did not care, thought not authentic Lulang, because Lulang old town was demolished. The new town of Lulang is like a temporary trailer next to the construction site. It's all made of colorful steel panels, nothing like what I imagined. I ignored the whole town of Lulang as a construction site, so I had to eat again on the way back. The return trip ate stone pot chicken, the car tank is empty. By the time we got to Bayi it was 12pm.
This is a later story. Although I miss the stone pot chicken for the time being, the beautiful scenery along the way really makes you eat. There were no speed limit tickets all the way from August 1 to Bomi. Even so, it's hard to stop and take pictures all the way because there's 14 kilometers of the Tongmai Sky Danger, which is all dirt road. Now the road is being built and tunnels are being dug. I heard that in two years there will be no more Tongmai Sky Risk. After fourteen kilometers of Tongmai Sky Danger, the Tongmai Bridge is a steel one-way bridge at the confluence of two rivers. Mai is naturally dangerous, use the sign on the side of the road, narrow road, let the winner win. Because in many places, cars can only pass one by one in one direction, you can't stop them. We had no problem, there were no queues and we were soon wobbling across the bridge and heading up the Palong Tsangpo River towards Bomi. There are no words to express this beauty. When you get to Bomi to find a place to stay, there is only one road in Bomi town. The whole town is two rows of houses by the 318 National Highway, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Online in advance like the hotel is being renovated, and finally found another, is a small guest house look. It also said that the capacity is not enough, can not open the air conditioning at night, can only make do. It seems I bought a sleeping bag can come in handy.
Looking for a restaurant to eat, I found the Sichuan people opened the restaurant Shenxianju. The river by the town of Bomi is called Zamu River, and the fish in the river is called Zamu Fish. The flavor is really good. Ordered the Tibetan spiced pig that I always wanted to eat, but it turned out to be bacon. I was disappointed. On the way, I glanced at the small Tibetan spiced pig by the roadside and tasted the fresh Tibetan spiced pork. This wish will have to wait until the next time I go to Tibet. Consider this trip as a little regret. After dinner, Xiao Xixi wanted to wash her hair and shampoo it. In a small town like Bomi, she found a barber store and asked, wash 20, dry cleaning 35. washed for half an hour, the Tibetan girl in Naqu gave Xiao Xixi Xixi wash her hair, and was quite satisfied. After washing back to the hostel to sleep, I took out the sleeping bag to the little Xixi. There is no air conditioning remote control, and I don't care if it will trip. I'm going to press the air conditioner to force it to start. We'll see after it's on. It was warm and dry all night.
What's the next line? Has the canoe crossed a million mountains? Or have I set up my muddy sails and bridged the deep sea?
I forget. Anyway, it all went well.

Gu Xiang Lake is in a dry spell. When the wind blew, a gust of sandy smoke drifted over the dry riverbed.
D4:November 5, Bomi - Midu - Ranwu - Laiku - Bomi - Lulang - August 1, the sun came out at eight in the morning. Get up, before leaving Bomi, suddenly a donkey stopped a car, a backpack chubby, from Xining Qinghai-Tibet train into Tibet, Henan guy Zhang, ready to take the Yunnan-Tibet line from here to Yunnan. A chatty guy, listening to stories, telling stories, laughing all the way to Rangwu town, waving his hand in vain, wishing him good luck. We passed by the Midu Glacier, because we want to go to the Laiku Glacier, so in front of the door to take pictures and did not go in. When we arrived at Rangwu town, we had to travel to and from the ancient villages along Ranwu Lake, ready to catch a glimpse of the ancient glacier. That road is newly built. Workers were marking yellow lines on the newly paved asphalt road, and W-shaped steel isolation buffer strips were installed on the cliff side. But when we got to the village of Legu, it was a very long dirt road. At the entrance of the village, a Tibetan old man held out tickets, 30 RMB*2 a piece. See, the tickets were probably printed by the village itself. Anyway, I saw the beautiful Laiku Glacier and it was worth it so far. When I saw the Lagoon Glacier, I went on my way. There was no road and I didn't know which direction to go. I drove into the mountains until I reached a line of goose-soft rocks. I couldn't move forward, so I turned back. Let the Hollander, which has no off-road capability, fold up.
Today, I plan to return to August 1st. A bit of a rush to start the return trip right away. Not far past Uptown, two donkeys pulled over. We were hoping to find people with stories again. Getting into the car, the two boys said they had a companion in front of them. It didn't take long for another boy to come from the car line, and there were no words all the way. Turns out they weren't talkers. They got in the car and slept so they thought I was the driver. On road sign 4083 at 318, I saw what Chang said. The road sign with the dibs and cigarettes was in honor of a passing driver who had overturned his car from 4083, bumping along the way, trying to get through the wheat barrier before the sun went down for fear of reduced safety in the dark. But it was already dark by the time we got to the Tongmai Bridge. This time, I waited on the bridge for a long time because there were several big trucks on the opposite side of the road, all of them had to wait for them to cross one by one. The speed limit on the bridge is 5 kilometers, so you have to be patient. It was hard to wait for them to pass and it was completely dark. After carefully crossing the wheat field, we went to the queue for a break and rushed to Lulang again. It was almost eight o'clock in Lulang and the car's oil lamp was already on. The three donkeys were told to get off.
Little Sisi and I went to eat the missed Lulang stone pot chicken. The store was empty, only the owner and waiters. The boss has organized Sichuan Mahjong, Kai Tai and others to ing. Mahjong Fan Xiao Xi also can not help but jump to try. Stone pot chicken casserole 280, the boss took the initiative to say the last table, count us 220, generous. The stove boiled, Xiaoxi and I watched them bloody battle to the end, they played a big game of chess. A deck of cards 400, 500 yuan thrown on the table, feel like in Shanghai to play 400 hot mahjong. It was already past nine. I don't want to stay in Lulang, but I'm going to drive back to Bayi. But the gas light is on, the gas is running out, the gas station is closed. Go on, bite the bullet. Luckily the elevation drops all the way from Lulang to Bayi, all downhill, so I just slide all the way to the empty block and try to ignore the gas. Finally got to August 1, 11:00 p.m., looking for a hotel. I went up and asked if it was only 300 bucks. Great, stay right away. It was a really tiring day from Ranwu to Bayi.
Smoking hooliganism habit came.
Full of fat.
Imagine how beautiful spring will be.
Laiku Glacier is located in the village of Laiku and is surrounded by several glaciers, so those glaciers that can be seen in the village of Laiku are collectively known as Laiku Glacier.
There is no electricity in the village.
I like the fence pierced by dead wood.
Ice is said to be good for young and old.
Did this blue ice form before this was an ocean?
Where is the road?
It's a magical path to paradise.
It is in this context that the Lékué Glacier is advertised.
A corner of Meixi Glacier
It was windy and slanted.
D5:November 6 Bayi Town - Batson Tso - Lhasa original itinerary is to spend the night in Bayi Town Zedang, Shannan region tour, from Zedang directly to Shigatse. Because the little Xixi's friend arrived in Lhasa on the evening of the 6th, so the following trip was slightly adjusted, she rushed back to Lhasa to join them in the following trip. On the way back to Lhasa, naturally, to go to Batson Mistake, the day before because of the rush did not go. Because the morning departure is not very early, the sun comes out really late in Tibet, the difference between the two time zones is not covered. It's been a few days, and I'm still not used to it. The sun at ten o'clock looks like six or seven o'clock in Shanghai. Batson Tso National Forest Park is already past noon. 30 kilometers from the 318 national highway.
When I stopped at the parking lot in front of the park, I went to explore. The staff at the entrance told me to buy a ticket, 45 dollars 50. only bought a person's ticket, said the driver does not need to buy a ticket. I didn't understand. Then no one greeted us, so we took our own car and the two of us drove in. No one stopped us, so we bought the ticket for nothing. Straight to Zazi Island, where there is a Zazi temple. It's for children begging. It's in a small temple with wood carvings on the left and right sides of the door and stone carvings on the left and right sides of the steps, symbolizing male and female fertility worship. It really is a bit of begging for children. The gerberas planted in front of the temple above were still in full bloom. It was unexpected that even Gesang's flowers were in full bloom in such weather. Sure enough there were Tibetan compatriots in the temple holding their newborn babies to return their wishes, the babies' hair still wet.
After circling along Little Zazhi Island, we continued our drive to explore the depths of Batson Tso. We drove to a small village and saw many Tibetan aromatic pigs. They were very cute and the smallest one was a slug. At such a young age, they came to the ground with their mom and tried to catch the pigs and play with them. Unexpectedly, when they approached them, their mother screamed so urgently that she had to stop for fear that she would attract the Tibetans. Keep driving until you reach a lake. You are beheaded. Go back, go back to Lhasa. You can't explore closely enough.
Outside the gates of Batsumtso Park, I was starving. It was about three o'clock. I was looking for a restaurant to fill my stomach. I found a small Sichuan restaurant, which is run by Chongqing people. Ordered fish, scrambled eggs with fungus, stir-fried, and randomly grilled twice. Luckily, the food tasted good and the fish was good. Before dinner, I went to the restroom, which was a ditch in the ground. I squatted on it, and the breeze was soothing to my light pp. I am not a pervert. I can only consider the Malaysian Miri, and I'll pick the right one. The shopkeeper said they have been here for 16 years and the water supply here is now intermittent every day. When the water supply is available, the water has to be connected and stored. There is fresh water in Song Chu, I don't know why there is intermittent water supply at the entrance. After eating, rush to Lhasa as there will be speed limit orders on the way, so hurry up. The hotel was re-booked online, Xiao Xi's friend followed us there to book.
Running all the way to Daiyue, we finally arrived at the hotel after 9pm. I was with Creek, Lynn and her sister. The 4-star hotel was really nice. There were many artworks and artifacts displayed in the lobby. One looks a bit cultured. The room was really well booked. Normally, the suite on Ctrip is 500 or 600, but tonight the special price is only 368. the room is as big as a classroom, and the room is equipped with computer speakers. The bathrooms are all Kohler bathrooms. The decoration of the things are worthy of four stars, value for money. Cost-effective. Into the room cleaned up a bit, our group of four people out to the Deji North Road, in a halal restaurant to get together, eat roast lamb and mutton soup, because of the consideration of Linlin and his sister just arrived in Lhasa will have resistance, we did not drink. After eating, they went back to rest early. My little Xixi and I had already acclimatized to the low altitude of Linzhi and the lack of high opposition. We went back to our room, took a nice hot shower, looked back at the beautiful Linzhi in the next few days, and looked forward to our next trip to Shigatse.

After breakfast in the morning, we picked up Lynn and her sister, and a group of four set off for Shigatse. All the way to the west, with the increase in altitude, just arrived in Lhasa has not yet adapted to the high altitude of Linlin and her sister began to react a little. See Yang Zhuoyong's mistake, all the reaction suddenly into nothing. Everyone unanimously exclaimed: How can it be so blue?
The rollover. Oh, people should be fine
Go to the lake, it's too cold.

If you stop at the parking lot of Karola Glacier to take pictures, you will be asked for an entrance fee of 50 mosquitoes per person.
D7:November 8, Shigatse - Zashilunbu Temple - Yangbajing - Dangxiong County
All the way to Yangbajing is basically a dirt road. I didn't expect much when I got to the hotel I was looking for in Dangxiong County that night. I just wanted to keep it clean and warm. I went to one first and felt that the ghee was a bit heavy. Then I looked for another hotel and decided to stay here. The next day I wanted to see the sunrise and went to bed early.
D8:November 9, Dangxiong County-Namucuo-Lhasa
I got up when it was dark. Wearing Dai Yue, unfortunately I didn't wear stars or moon. In the morning, the temperature in Namucuo was minus 7 degrees. It was really cold when the wind was blowing. But the landscape photos turned out to be the most sensational so far, I think.
It is rumored that Nianqing Tanggula was Namtso's husband and Mei Yangzhuo Yongtso was the mistress. Nianqing Tanggula once coveted the beauty of Yang Zhuo Yongtso, Namtso and other Nianqing Tanggula every day back to the old home in tears, so Namtso is a salt water lake. Eventually, Nianqing Tanggula returned to his wife Namtso, always with her.
I've seen Yangzuo Yongtso and Namucuo, and sure enough, they have different styles. Yangzhuo Yongtso does have a captivating charm, and Namucuo does have the style of the first chamber.
Frozen
Which is the husband and which is the wife?
On the way back, I passed the Naganla Pass.
Is there a stone monkey in there too? When the day comes, the sea change will begin here.
The two rocks are also great attractions.
d9-D11:Nov. 10-Nov. 12 Lhasa.
These days have been in Lhasa, as we had a good feeling about the Ethnic Hotel before and booked it for three days. We used to look for chess rooms (called teahouses in Lhasa, not chess rooms) to play mahjong. We found one outside and one in the hotel. Although it was an automatic mahjong machine with big cards, they had no wind and no flower. They were pure Sichuan mahjong. We were all mahjong enthusiasts in Shanghai, and we played a fight with the four landlords at the hotel every night until two or three o'clock. The next day, we didn't have to rush, so we slept until we woke up naturally. I won't ramble on in this city of sunshine, just pass on a couple of random pictures.
It was taken at the old fish restaurant on the fifth floor of New Alley.
That look, it's enjoyable, I want to get on it now.
The mani pile next to the Potala Palace shows the Tibetan people's worship of the yak. They believe that when the yak dies, all parts of its body become mountains, rivers, forests and everything.
The Potala Palace is used to climb mountains.
The architectural details of the Potala Palace are also scientific.
Turning the Wheel at Dazhao Temple
Since I have converted to the Sakya School, and since there is a Sakya Temple near the Barkhor Street, it is natural to make a pilgrimage. It is a very small temple, only one room as a Buddhist temple. I went up to meet the elders, who were very charitable and peaceful, and we sunbathed together for a while.
I didn't do my homework it was my fault. I went to Sera Monastery on Sunday and closed the door without debating the sutras.
Souvenirs
Off-season Lhasa bar less people.
The first trip to Tibet is over. This is the first time I was y attracted by Tibet. Ali, Everest, Murtok, the great beauty of Tibet, wait for me, I will be back soon.
