When the time came in 2009, a group of Gobi comrades in the Yangtze River in the organization of the old talent plans to hike the Yarlung Tsangpo River, and my dream of Tibet can finally be realized. 26 April, I was eager to take a half-day leave, take the 3 p.m. flight from Chengdu to Lhasa. I want to rush in between the big forces to arrive in Tibet, early experience the solemnity and solemnity of the Potala Palace. When the plane was about to arrive in the sky above Tibet, you could see the snow-covered mountains rolling up and down, with a little bit of mystery, and a little bit of cold loneliness. Dreams are about to come true, I was thinking, suddenly the radio came due to Lhasa wind, the plane to return to Chengdu news. In a flash, I feel my head is going to explode, how can this be, do you want to come to the snowy plateau where the gods live, I'm not pious enough?
The airport hotel in Chengdu stayed overnight, the next day to take the first flight to fly again, this time very smooth to Lhasa. Gao Lu's Sun Tou was already at the airport to meet us us. I met up with Xiaowei, Tong Xin, Lao Ju from the 10th period, and Ostrich and Yu Yao from Jiaotong University at the airport. Then we took another hour's ride and finally arrived in Lhasa. After dropping off our luggage in the room, Lao Cai led us to the street to have a lunch with western characteristics, and then we went to Bajiao Street without stopping. Bajiao Street is located in the center of the ancient city of Lhasa, Lhasa is the original face of the most complete street, but also Lhasa's religion, economy, culture, national handicrafts and even the Tibetan customs of the gathering place. Here, you can fully appreciate all kinds of Tibet's flavor, a very characteristic antique store and smooth green stone road to us about the history of Lhasa; countless handicrafts carts to us to show the culture and art of Lhasa; one by one, from our side, dressed in local characteristics of the old people and children, with pure eyes to tell us that their goodness and happiness. And all of these y touched us who have been living in big cities for a long time. Xiaowei and Tongxin took photos greedily, Yuyao bought local clothes and wore them, trying to blend in with the locals, and Lao Ju and I took a lazy step, slowly enjoying the roadside romance. We didn't feel like we'd gone around the block, but we came to the Da Zhao Temple. Dazhao Temple is the most brilliant existing Tibet Tubo period building, but also Tibet's oldest surviving adobe structure building, creating a Tibetan-style Pingchuan style temple layout rules and regulations. Dazhaosi fusion of Tibet, Tang, Nepal, India's architectural style, become a Tibetan religious architecture of the ancient model. Da Zhao Temple is enshrined in the Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty Chang'an brought Shakyamuni 12-year-old equivalent statue, in Tibetan Buddhism has the supreme status. After we visited the main hall on the first floor, we came to the second and third floors to see the Potala Palace from afar, feeling the holy land in the light twilight as if washing our souls 、、、、、、
After we returned to the hotel, the big group had already arrived, with the exception of Cheng Chen, Wang Lu, Li Yemin, and Prof. Liu Jun who had gone directly to Linzhi. Lao Cai gave us a unique welcome banquet, and also invited the captain and secretary of the Tibetan mountaineering team to add color to the banquet. The people who came this time, in addition to those we arrived in the morning and those who went directly to Linzhi, there were Zhang Bo, Peng Jin, Kangaroo from the tenth period, Weiqiang from the eleventh period, Yan Jun from the seventh period, Lu Jun and Xiong Yong from the twelfth period, Guofan who stayed in the thirteenth period from the first period, Dean Xue and his student Xiu Li, the bo member from Peking University, Wang Lingjiang, the smiling man from Central Europe, Liu Jun and Xiaoyan couple and the couple known as the Yellow River School of Business, Wang Zhanshun, Gong Hao and Ting Ting etc. A cadre of people. If you count Pengfei who came the next day, we a **** 36 people, can be said to be strong. After dinner, some of us didn't want to go to bed early, so we went to the Maggie Amie Bar on Bajiao Street. Maggie Amie everywhere filled with a lazy atmosphere, comfortable sofas, relaxing music, there are a few similar to the bar of the silver table; corner of the bookshelf a wide range of books can deepen your desire for this mysterious city; wall, table, and even with the eyes of the visible are some vivid and exquisite ornaments; and that I am in the end of the world's guestbook, write a blessing, write a despair, write a strong word, write a The most important thing is that we are still in love with each other. The most let us stay in love, or hamlet folder Gyatso wrote to Magu ami that has been handed down to this day the moving poem "in the east of the mountain tops, rising bright moon, Magu ami's face, gradually emerged in the heart". In such a romantic place, our emotions were mobilized, the kangaroo first came to the first Tibetan plateau, and then some of us sang, some recited poetry, accompanied by the night and the sweetness of barley wine, all of us have long forgotten where we are, if not to get up early tomorrow, it is estimated that we will be partying until dawn.
The next day, after breakfast, we went to the legendary hallowed hall of the Potala Palace. Xiaowei and Tong Xin arrived early in order to photograph the Potala Palace in the morning sun. Potala Palace was built in the 7th century AD Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo period, has a history of 1300 years ago, based on the mountain, overlapping buildings, halls, majestic, there is the world, the gas through the dome of the power, red, white, yellow three colors of the contrast, the division of the joint building, layers of sets of the building type, are embodied in the Tibetan ancient architecture of the charming features. Palace by the east of the white palace (the dalai lama lives in the place) and the central red palace (buddhist temple and successive dalai lama stupa hall) composition. We started at the White House and went from east to west, visiting one room at a time, with a trip to the world's highest altitude toilet in the middle. Inside the Potala Palace there are successive Dharma kings and the Dalai's stupa, a large number of murals, scriptures and countless treasures of art. Throughout the visit, we have only one feeling, that is, "awe", fear of history, fear of the gods, fear of this thousand years of the palace out of the mystery and wisdom. Successive Dalai, the most accomplished is the fifth Dalai, his spiritual tower is also the most luxurious, pure gold to build, set with countless treasures, it is said that only a spiritual tower, you can buy half of the world, six Shanghai, see the Potala Palace of precious. Accompanied by the Potala Palace women workers pleasant sound of piling, we ended the visit, hurriedly ate lunch, we drove to Linzhi.
The scenery on the way was great, but the altitude had risen to more than 5,000 meters at Sera Pass, and Xiaowei and Lao Ju, who had come from the U.S. non-stop, had begun to inhale oxygen, and we all suffered from headaches and shortness of breath to a greater or lesser extent. It wasn't until we arrived at Namtso seven hours later that everyone's mood was lifted by the beautiful lake. Tibetan Namtso means the sky lake, lake water by Nianqing Tanggula mountain ice melting supply, along the lake there are a lot of large and small streams into the lake, the lake is clear and transparent, the lake was azure, water and sky integration, natural, leisurely swim in the lake, seems to have a sense of being in a fairyland. Maybe it is the season, in addition to what we do not seem to have any other tourists, we can enjoy the tranquility and romance. All of us or sitting at the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery, or everywhere to take pictures, has just put the plateau reaction in the back of the mind. The car drove for almost two more hours, passed the border station in Linzhi, and we managed to reach the Linzhi Hotel. Here we met up with Prof. Liu, Yemin, and the so-called two empress dowagers, Cheng Chen and Wang Lu, and the group was finally complete. After a special dinner, we hurriedly went back to bed, tired and exhausted. See you tomorrow, Yarlung Tsangpo.
Early in the morning of the second day, we drove to the starting point of the first day's trek, where we were divided into groups, with the first team being the so-called Yellow River team, the second being the Yajiang team, the third team, the 8850 team, mainly from our Gobi III, and the fourth team, the Four Wilds team, mainly from the Gobi I and II, and the lone wolf, Sun Bo. We chose our team captains and made team flags. About three hours later, we arrived at the entrance to the Yarlung Tsangpo, and the four-day trek began. The starting point was a suspension bridge, very long and spectacular, and the girls walked across it with nervous baby steps, while a few of us pretty much ran across. Yan Jun twisted his foot while playing soccer before he came, and we were staying together for a few days, so I was in charge of taking care of him, and we walked very slowly on the way. Xiaowei, Tong Xin and Sun Bo were taking pictures at the back, and we were walking together, almost taking a walk. It didn't take long to see the second suspension bridge, which was even more dangerous and spectacular, so we simply stopped, kept admiring and taking pictures, and Haijiu from the high road kept urging us to go faster at the back, but we just pretended we didn't hear him. Come to know how beautiful this place is, along the way there is "cut off the Wushan clouds and rain, more Xijiang stone wall" like suspension bridge; there is a knife chopping and axe like cliffs; there is a tiger jumping like a huge wave in the sky of the river; there is the ancient Shu Road as treacherous and difficult to walk on the palisade, but also green as onyx-like vegetation, we are completely conquered by the nature's artifice, do not feel more and more walk! The slower we walked. Slowly, the sky was already dark, Yan Jun's feet seemed to be getting more and more painful, but he refused to get on the horse no matter what, so we had to walk slowly at the back. Sun Bo has been with us, in the Gobi time did not talk much, this time chat more up. I realized that the original in my hometown of Xi'an on the university, the first love or our Xi'an Jiaotong University, huh, this world is really small. Anyway, nothing to do, Sun Bo and I began to poetry, couplets, huh. News came from the front, their first echelon arrived at the camp very early, Zhang Bo, Bo Yuan and Professor Liu are our strongest, I also began to worry, in case it is too dark how to walk such a treacherous road ah. While we were talking, Lu Jun and Bo Yuan had come back to greet us, Yan Jun got on his horse under our persuasion, and we arrived at the campground quickly. The first day to live in a tent, can not sleep, Sun Bo and I continue to poetry, next to the Yan Jun has been our acid speechless, haha.
On the second day, a few members of the Yellow River team had to go back beforehand, leaving only three people, but in the words of the captain, Wang Zhanshun, "the establishment is still there". Yan Jun and Yu Yao also stayed at the camp to wait for us at our persuasion, Sun Bo helped them find books and Cheng Chen found some canned food for them. "See you the night after tomorrow, enjoy your world of two, and don't forget to write your repentance". We joked with the two of them as we started the next day's hike. Today's section was much harder to walk, with non-stop big uphill and downhill slopes that made even the physically fit gasp uncontrollably. I was still walking at the back, and Wang Lu and Kangaroo sang us a lot of songs, which added a lot of joy to the grueling hike. Weiqiang's task was to protect Wanglu, and I walked with them, but along the way there were still dizzying views. When we arrived at Zhaqu village, we suddenly saw Zhang Bo and Prof. Liu. Haha, it turned out that they took the wrong road, walked for 40 to 50 minutes more and came back, just in time to meet up with us, it was really funny. We sat on the roadside to rest, flirting with the two of them while eating something to replenish our sustenance. Suddenly, I heard Xiaowei shouting at us from a high place in the distance, so he found a good place to watch the big bend of the Palong Zangbo, and we rushed forward. After arriving, Xiaowei said he just saw this scene, can not help but shed tears, is too beautiful. Xiaowei said is not false, only to see a verdant mountain peaks, a big river like a dragon circling from the foot of the mountain flow through, rushing endlessly, giving birth to a long history, splendid Tibetan culture. It is really "the river and the mountains are so beautiful, attracting countless heroes competing". The Namcha Barwa Peak can be seen vaguely in the distance, but the clouds are so dense that you can't see the top of the mountain. Cheng Chen kept blowing there, as if to blow the clouds away, we also began to pray quietly. God rewarded us, we finally saw the top of Namcha Barwa, although it was not the main peak, although it was only a few minutes, but it was enough, we will definitely get the shelter of the gods.
After resting almost, we moved on again. Soon, the great bend of Yarlung Tsangpo was in sight. "High and strong, deep and moist seclusion, long and dangerous, low and strange show" is a true depiction of this place, showing in front of us is an extremely spectacular scene. Rushing river flow in the meandering canyon running, like deep embedded in the giant axe opened up the slit like. At the bottom of the valley are the whistling rapids, the riverbed is dotted with reefs and rocks. Its endless rapids and rolling peaks combine to form a magnificent and moving picture. Here not only contains abundant water resources, and the formation of the geomorphology here, and for the development and utilization of abundant water resources provides a rare and valuable conditions, Yarlung Tsangpo is a true mother river of Tibet. Next to cross the leech area, we rest a little, in the face of such beauty, of course, to play some games, we played a real killing game, before continuing forward, began the leech area crossing. This section of the road is really not good to go, a large section of the downhill is basically a very slippery road surface, both sides of the trees and all kinds of plants crawling with leeches, they use suckers sucked in the leaves, tail flying with the wind, and then a careless, clothes, bags, hats, and even the neck on the leeches will be crawling. It is difficult to pull out by hand, the old only to send the salt water also has no effect, basically to rely on the "finger-flick" to flick them off. In many cases, when you realize that the leech has already sucked enough blood, and then they have to deal with the bleeding wound. Many of us were bitten, some on our hands, some on our limbs, some on our backs, some on our ears, and even on our asses. When we reached the foot of the mountain, our famous dowager daughters of the East and West Palaces burst into tears, and we all hated old Talent and said in unison that we would teach him a hard lesson. The foot of the mountain is where there is zero contact with the river, so Zhang Bo, Kangaroo, Guofan and I had a good wash in the river and then made our way to our campsite. We chose a good campsite, surrounded by mountains, with a clearing in the center just right for camping. After we pitched our tents it started raining heavily, so we all had to brave the rain to get our food. I was too tired to eat, so I fell asleep in my tent. After a long time, the rain stopped, and suddenly Lu Jun called me to eat, saying that the food had been prepared in an old Ju rice bowl. After I finished my meal, I realized that it was very hard for us to prepare the meal in the rain, and I actually enjoyed the treatment that even the female team members didn't have, so I was really ashamed. Originally, we were going to have a bonfire party, but due to the rain, a lot of people ate dinner and went back to sleep, but I think it's too wasteful to sleep in such a beautiful place, so I greeted everyone to play Truth or Dare. Haha, a large number of people in the night around the campfire to play truth or dare, really romantic. Just everyone is more familiar, not very open, especially Peng Jin, especially pretentious. I am particularly annoyed with her, and deliberately made a very difficult question, asked her how much the circumference, this question does not matter, we are ready to sleep in the tent Professor Liu Jun can not sleep, desperately waiting for the answer, the result of a night of sleep, hahahaha. Later, a few of our male team members do not want to sleep, and around the campfire chat for a long time, while chatting while drinking barley wine, it is also a "DongLi put wine after dusk" it.
The third day is basically the same as the second day of the road, just because of the rain, climbing a section of the road to take another relatively few leeches in the section. The first day of the trip, I was able to get to the top of the mountain, and I was able to get to the top of the mountain, and I was able to get to the top of the mountain, and I was able to get to the top of the mountain, and I was able to get to the top of the mountain. I and Lao Ju, Sun Bo, Xiong Yong, Xiao Yan couple, and ostrich arrived earlier, very good taste in the Tibetan home to taste the mutton soup and butter tea. I was honored to learn that the owner was a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and that there was a photo of him and President Hu Jintao on the wall. The second half of the road is more relaxed, I walked with Xiong Yong and Sun Bo, while taking pictures and enjoying the scenery, walking very slowly. Xiong Yong is very fit, young, and has a cool haircut. I gave him a nickname: Wind Chaser Boy. Later he changed it to Wind Chaser Junior himself, lol. Yan Jun and Yu Yao were waiting for us at the campsite, I realized that they had been relying on bread to support them for the past two days, and had been looking forward to our return for a long time, haha, I was reminded of that big spender who stole all the chickens in the village in the movie "Party A, Party B". The dinner was very good, and then there was a well organized Yajiang singing party. Of course, we wouldn't let go of Lao Cai, Lu Jun, Xiong Yong, Xiaowei, and Weiqiang lifted Lao Cai up and threw him over the bonfire until we were too tired to let go, and the party reached its first climax. At the beginning of the song everyone is still a little shy, that is, Wang Lu and Kangaroo generously sang a few songs. However, the appearance of the big white rabbit Li Yemin ignited everyone's passion, Yemin sang a song of nothing, not waiting for everyone to react, and then sang a second song, and then said to everyone, you don't have the chance to sing, the next song is our package. Haha, now everyone's passion has been stimulated, the smiley king Ling Jiang came to a second Gobi team song, and then Bo Yuan and Jim County can not sit still, have to get up to sing, and then formed a three-legged situation. Bo Yuan and Jim Xian, Ling Jiang and their team, our Yangtze River Gobi's team, and our Tibetan friends team, you and I, even started to sing songs from the sixties, it's really a good time. At this time, the old talent actually took out two books of popular songs, and Cheng Chen also began to offer three sides, haha, this time we are even more fighting, and finally simply stripped naked and sang, basically in the spelling of the voice. According to incomplete statistics, the scene of a **** experienced seven orgasms, which is recorded since the history books, the limit of men, huh. Singing tired, we began to heart, each person to talk about the feelings of the trip to the Yajiang. We talked a lot, some people talked about the nature of life, some people talked about the meaning of life, some people talked about the life of the moving, some people talked about a commitment to leave everything behind to Yajiang, there are people, with the camera recorded us in this night and nature as one of the moving and beautiful. In the end, everyone said the most wanted to say a word, and then, only reluctantly back to the tent, in this Yajiang trip to the last outdoor night, silently feel the peace, slowly sleep 、、、、、、
The fourth day of the first day of the road, is not very tired, along the way the scenery is very beautiful, and I and the XiongYong, LuJun, SunBo, XueProfessor and XiuLi walk in the last. Our friends who came to Yajiang this time are all very lovely, I treasure the time with them very much. First of all, let's talk about the professors, the two professors we came here this time are really interesting, Prof. Lu Jun always walks in the first place, walking as fast as he can, not at all like a person who is almost 50 years old; Prof. Xue is always optimistic and happy, and he keeps talking to us about light topics, which is worthy of being our spiritual pillar. Bo Yuan and Zhang Bo were basically at the forefront, Bo Yuan is now on good terms with us in Changjiang, and he basically comes to all our activities; Zhang Bo is a fierce man, besides being an exhibitionist, he also likes to make fun of our sister Wang Lu. Haha, but a very cool look, is our Gobi good comrades, with him in the end will be very lively. Lu Jun is a practical person, a professional outdoorsman, with first-class equipment, who also knows the meaning of life. Xiong Yong is a very talented wind chaser. Guofan always quietly pay for everyone, this time in Linzhi also specially for us all to buy yak meat and pork liver, for our dinner color. It's really hard for him, with a weight of over 200 pounds, he never says the word "tired". Yan Jun is a very bright person, very persistent and determined in life, love and career. Wang Lu and I have an agreement to lose 20 pounds, I think it's a good idea, and now we've lost almost seven or eight pounds. She and our Kangaroo are the main singers, and Kangaroo is known as the war chief of the Yangtze River Art Troupe Beijing, and sings very coolly. Cheng Chen called a lot of people over this time, most of them from Gobi II, in addition to the big white rabbit Li Yemin and the small black rabbit Pengfei, there are also the smiling face of Central Europe Wang Lingjiang and Xiaoyan, the ostrich of Jiaotong University. Wang Lingjiang is very enthusiastic, but sometimes too enthusiastic, huh? The ostrich from Jiaotong University and Yu Yao are both very interesting people. I wonder if Yu Yao and Yan Jun had some sparks after spending two days together. Li Yemin and Pengfei have both participated in two Gobi, which is really something. Lao Ju is a first timer, but has been very persistent. I'm sure he'll love hiking from now on. Weiqiang is not very talkative, he was protecting Wang Lu along the way, and is actually a veteran outdoorsman. Xiaowei is our good captain. Tong Xin actually has a knee injury, but he participates in every hike. Although he is not very fast, his perseverance and his attitude of constantly discovering the beauty of the road with his camera well illustrates the essence of our hike. Ah Peng Jin, when can you stop being so pretentious? Sun Bo is a very romantic girl who loves life, and I hope she will know how to grasp some people and things in her life better, there are some things that will never come back if you lose them. Liu Jun from Central Europe is in good health, and he keeps taking pictures along the way, a happy-go-lucky person. Xiuli doesn't talk much, but I can see that she is also a person who loves life and cherishes her friends. Zhanshun is a person who has seen life through, giving us a lot of thoughts about life along the way. Ting Ting loves life so much that her motto is to travel the world and become friends with all the talented people she meets. james from Hong Kong came to Yajiang with his sister and brother-in-law, and the event was more of a family trip for them. Haifeng got injured later, but managed to make it to the finish line, which was really something.
When we crossed the last suspension bridge, our Yajiang trekking was completed. We were all very excited, and Xiong Yong, the wind chaser, had to compete with Lu Jun and I in the 100-meter race, which was really young. I believe we will always remember this Yajiang trip, during which there are too many memorable things. The beauty of Yalu Zangbu, no language can describe, the atmosphere is magnificent, spectacular and mysterious, such as the ancient reappearance, the gods show the saint, it is the pure land leading to the holy land. I have a poem, with everyone **** appreciation:
Yajiang heavenly road through the hallowed hall,? The fairy is practicing her neon dress.
? The green sleeves are wrapped in a thousand shades of blue,
? The white dress danced out of ten thousand miles of frost.
It was thought to be complete, but when we reached the viewing platform, Namcha Barwa actually revealed its true colors. Namcha Barwa Peak is the highest mountain in the Linzhi area at 7,782 meters above sea level. Its huge triangular peak body year-round snow, clouds and mist, never easy to show its true colors. Namcha Barwa Peak is full of magical legends, it is said that this is the place where the gods live, and on the top of the mountain there is a divine palace and the road to heaven, people living here firmly believe that every person who sees its true face will get the shelter of heaven. And we, today, actually so lucky, in the day of the Buddha's Birthday, a glimpse of the real face of Namcha Barwa. Believe in the existence of the gods, right, inwardly reverence, right, we in the past few days with the gods in close contact, has been the blessing of the true God. We kneeled down on both knees and kowtowed to Namcha Barwa to pray for blessings for our family, for our friends, and for everyone who loves you and your loved ones 、、、、、、
It was already late when we got back to Linzhi, and all of us initiated a donation to the local area of Linzhi by Yangtze River during the dinner time. That's what we aim to do on our Yangtze trek, to leave something behind for the local community every time we visit a place. After communicating with the local education bureau, we decided to donate an electric classroom to a local elementary school under construction. We all donated our money, which was a good ending to our trip to Tibet.
In life
there are always some things
that are unforgettable
When the wheel of time passes by for a long time
these things
will become a legend
drifting in the wind
and we
singing songs of memories
walk in the wind
......
