I'm also called Ye Laxian when I walk around-the missed Mount Everest, the abandoned Guge Dynasty (3)
We left Japan and drove on the road with caution, caution and awe of Tibet and Ali.
The fourth quarter in Tibet
It's past ten o'clock in the morning when I started from Japan, and the weather is fine and the sun is full. Today's journey is the most controversial day, because there are two routes to choose from. The first one: from Japan to Zada, there are the most famous Zada tulin and Guge Dynasty ruins in Ali. The journey is very close, and it can be reached around 2 pm, which is not difficult to walk. Article 2: Starting from Japan, I will go directly to Pulan, see Gangren Boqi and Mabang Yongcuo on the way, and stay in Pulan at night, 47 kilometers for seven hours. I am worried about whether my little friend's body can last for 7-8 hours. The first hour in the car, we have been discussing where to go, not arguing. We must not quarrel when we go out, especially in go on road trip. In the end, we chose to go to Pulan, not because of anything else, but because I want to take a bath, eat normal food and have a good night's sleep. My physical fitness has always been good, and it is not serious. I haven't washed my face and hair for two days, and I don't feel comfortable at all, so I need to have a rest urgently. In this way, I gave up my persistent Guge dynasty and went all the way south to Pulan.
The first mountain pass today, Daban, lamela, is at an altitude of 5131, and you can keep driving without getting off. At this time, your physical condition and road conditions are very good, and you can climb it in one breath.
When eating down the mountain, I found this kind of canned fruit delicious for the first time, which is very suitable for dry and oxygen-deficient plateau, especially because our bodies need a lot of sugar.
socialist new Tibet
I haven't had a photo of washing my hair and face for two days. I usually don't feel dirty if I don't wash my hair for two days, but I have been shuttling through the mountains and soil for two days, and the ash at that end is clearly visible. I think this is the way to go to Tibet, which is more suitable for the mountains and soil of Ali.
Keep climbing, and you can see countless mountains in the distance. I arrived at a place I was looking forward to, and it was not night at this time, which was a little embarrassing. Ali Observatory, 51 meters above sea level, will feel breathless at this time. On November 27, 218, the "Ali Observatory Science Station" was officially listed. Unfortunately, we can't stay here for the night to watch the stars. Ali Observatory is the most beautiful place to see the Milky Way in the northern hemisphere, but it is not recommended that the body can't stand it in winter, and the observation point will climb several hundred meters higher. This height is really no joke when Ali is outdoors at night. Even if you want to pick the stars with your hands, you have to catch your breath.
Daban in Shiquan River is 4785 meters above sea level, and there is no hyperreflexia.
at this time, the road conditions are very good, one Ma Pingchuan, downhill, uphill, downhill, uphill.
It's 4,636 meters above sea level, Ya Celada Ban, lower, and there are herders grazing around.
When we got off Ya Celada Ban, we kept going downhill all the way to the south. The road was like a flat land. We were in a very good state of body feeling and kept flying, and suddenly we approached Gangrinboqi, and we were a little excited again.
Gang Renboqi, Meili Snow Mountain, Animaqing Mountain Range and Gaduojuevo in Yushu, Qinghai are also called the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism. If I say faith, I am a little biased towards Tibetan Buddhism. If I say mountains, my favorite is the Gangdise Mountains.
The Gangdise Mountains run across the Kunlun Mountains in the north and the Himalayas in the south, like a giant dragon lying on the vast plateau in Ali, western Tibet. Gangrinboqi, like a great pyramid, stands on the plateau of Aripland. This is the main peak of Gangdise Mountains, with an altitude of 6,656 meters.
In ancient times, Qi Feng in Gangrenbo was a sacred mountain in many religions, which was called Jiluodi Mountain in Sanskrit, and the northern foot of Qi Feng in Gangrenbo was the birthplace of Shiquan River in the upper reaches of the Indus River. According to legend, Yongzhong Bonism originated in this mountain; Hinduism regards the mountain as Shiva's residence and the center of the world; Jainism believes that this mountain is the place where its founder, Rishabana Monastery, gained enlightenment. Tibetan Buddhism believes that this mountain is the residence of King Kong, which represents boundless happiness, and there are many believers who turn around here all the year round. As for turning mountains, my physical strength is really not good. You can find a movie called Turning Mountains to watch.
In the following photo of me and Gang Rinpoche, my little friend still doesn't get off the bus. It's about a gale outside, and I can't breathe in an instant when I wear two down jackets. The biting cold wind is in sharp contrast with plenty of sunshine.
Gangrinboqi is a world-recognized sacred mountain, which is recognized as the center of the world by Yongzhong Bonism, Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism and ancient Jainism. Gangrinpoche is not the highest mountain in this area, but only its snow-covered peak can shine with strange light in the sun and attract people's attention. It is said that the most famous Mount Sumi in Buddhism also refers to Gangrinboqi. In the pre-Buddhist period, when Xiangxiong Yong was a believer in Buddhism, Gangren Boqi was called "Nine Heavenly (Ten Thousand) Word Mountain", and it is said that 36 gods of Buddhism lived here. The founder of Bonism, Dunbaxin, descended from the sky, and this mountain was the landing place. In Jainism, which arose in the 5th-6th century BC, Gangrinboqi was called "Achta Boda", the highest mountain.
Indians call this mountain Mt.Kailash, and they think it is the center of the world. Shiva, the most powerful and highest-ranking of the three main gods in Hinduism, lives here. India's Indus River and the upper reaches of the Ganges River all originate here, so a large number of Indian pilgrims can often be seen in Pulan.
sacred mountains and lakes are closely related. Gangrenbo Qi Feng and Mabang Yongcuo Lake are known as sacred mountains and sacred lakes.
Turn to Pulan and start to walk X27. The first thing you see is the blue Mabang Yongcuo, south of Gangren Boqi. The natural scenery around it is very beautiful. Since ancient times, Buddhist believers have regarded it as the "world center" of the holy land, the second largest natural freshwater lake in China, the most transparent freshwater lake, and one of the three "sacred lakes" in Tibet. It is also the birthplace of the four major rivers in Asia. The "source of the four major rivers" recorded in the "Elephant's Tripitaka" of the ancient Buddhism Yong Zhongben religion refers to Mabang Yongcuo, the mother of the holy lake. Ma Quan River in the east, Peacock River in the south, Xiangquan River in the west and Shiquan River in the north. Mabang Yongcuo-"invincible Jasper Lake", in Tibetan, "Mabang" means invincible and invincible.
It is said that Mabang Yongcuo is the holiest lake, and holy water can clean people's troubles and evil obstacles. She is a perfect lake in the soul, a real paradise in this universe, Shangri-La of the gods, the paradise of all things, and Hinduism says it is the residence of Shiva. Mabang Yongcuo is beautiful and unreal, and its blue color is not like the lake on earth, so Buddhism calls it "holy lake". Every summer and autumn, Buddhists help the old and bring the young to this "pilgrimage" and bathe themselves in holy water to prolong their lives and wash away their sins.
Coincidentally, besides Mapang Yongcuo, there is also a small lake here, which is La Angcuo. People think that Mabong Yongcuo is the land of the gods, the sacred lake closest to heaven, La Angcuo, and people think that it is the main gathering place of the king of Luo Cha, where the nine-headed king Luo Cha who kidnapped the beautiful Starr in the story of Ramayana in ancient India lived. Although it looks no different from Mabian Yongcuo, and it is beautiful, some tourists claim that they have encountered an ominous sign by this lake. Buddhists also believe that Mabangyongcuo and Anglacuo represent light (or positive) and darkness (or negative) respectively. But they are not isolated, but communicate with each other through a river at the bottom of the lake. According to legend, there were two goldfish in Mabang Lake, and once there was a conflict between them, and they had a life-and-death contest. One of the goldfish couldn't stand it, so he cut a river and flowed into Anglacuo Lake. People think that the mutual circulation between the two lakes is an auspicious thing. If the river dries up, the interruption of communication between the two lakes will cause human disasters.
After crossing the sacred lake, the altitude dropped sharply, so I had to step on the brakes all the way. I slowly saw the village, the trees and the wires, and Pulan arrived.
pulan county is located in the southwest of Xizang Autonomous Region, the south of Ali region, the canyon area on the south side of Himalayan mountain and the junction of China, India and Nepal. it is an important town for economic, cultural and religious exchanges between Ali and Nepal since ancient times, a foreign trade channel, one of the 12 border counties in China, and a border trade and land transportation port in China. It is also one of the two border ports in Xizang Autonomous Region, and a national second-class port. Line 219 runs through the east and west. The south of Pulan County is about 1 kilometers away from the Sino-Nepalese border, and the altitude is only 38. It suddenly feels very comfortable to come here from Japan.
I booked an ordinary hotel in Pulan County on the way. When I arrived, I felt that the environment was not good, so I retired. It was still early, and we drove around the county looking for a hotel. Pulan is not as prosperous as the border city I imagined. After visiting for two laps, we finally found a newly opened hotel, Pulan Ecological Park Hotel, which feels like there can be a parking lot outside. Go in and have a look, there is a cave in it, a full five-star hotel, very warm and full of oxygen, I can't care so much, and I will pay the money and take my luggage to my room decisively. The hotel has its own Chinese restaurant, and you can really eat everything. That kind of happiness is really swept away by arrogance and fatigue.
After taking a bath and washing clothes after dinner, we can finally take a bath after two days of dirty clothes on the road and two days of not washing our faces and hair. In particular, I introduce my laundry bag, which is folded and waterproof, can wash feet and clothes, and can hold dirty clothes and daily necessities during the day. It is especially easy to use. I have bought it for two or three years and I have to take it with me every time I go out.
my little friend's special way of hanging clothes?
Let's give a special introduction to this watermelon. This watermelon was bought in Hotan Night Market and has been with us for 2 days. This watermelon has been frozen in the car. At this time, it must be solved, because the heating in the room is too hot, and oxygen is diffused. Eating watermelon is simply too comfortable.
daily focus: rewind videos, plan the route for the next day, and look at the road conditions along the way the next day. This habit has been maintained for many years, and I think it is quite good. There are too many changes when going out, and many times it is different from what you think at home. You must be predictable. No matter how uncomfortable or tired you are, you must look at the road conditions the next day.
Before going to bed, turn the diffuse oxygen inhalation to the maximum, just like at home, and there is plenty of warm oxygen. I really need a good rest. I haven't slept well for two nights, and I have been hungry and cold, and I can't breathe.
Have a good sleep, eat a good meal and have a good rest. My little friend said that he didn't want to leave, so he asked me to drive the second half. I'm ready to leave after breakfast. I'm leaving Ali today. Tonight, I still choose to stay in Zhongba or Saga and study on the way.
after washing, there is no dust at all.
The sunshine was very good that day, and the little friend recovered his strength. Behind the little friend was Pulan, and the snow-capped mountain was Namunani Peak as majestic as Gangrinboqi, which was also very magnificent.
For centuries, Gangrinpoche has been a fascinating place for pilgrims and explorers, but so far no one has been able to climb this sacred mountain, or dare to violate the center of the world. We were very lucky to see it again the next morning.
At this time, a group of Tibetan antelopes suddenly appeared in the distance. Note that they are not Tibetan antelopes, but smaller than Tibetan antelopes. They are national second-class protected animals. At this time, they come out to drink water and eat grass.
No man's land is particularly harmonious, with plateau, snow-capped mountains, blue sky, lakes and lambs.
When the lamb saw someone with a car, he immediately ran up the hill and joined his family at a particularly fast speed.
Go on, you will leave Ali soon, and it will be over soon.
Every checkpoint with the national flag
The highest pass in the second half of the new Tibet line, Mayumula Mountain, is the dividing line between Ali and Shigatse. After browsing here, I left Ali and entered Shigatse, which means that the new Tibet line is coming to an end. The altitude from Mount Mayumula to Saga County basically lasts about 4,6 meters, and the speed limit of the whole journey is more than 6,3 kilometers, which takes six hours to walk. The speed limit for entering Tibet is far stricter than that in Xinjiang, but then we forget it. Even if you run casually, this road condition and sense of body will not run too fast.
Although the altitude has not changed after leaving Ali, I feel very comfortable in an instant, and my altitude is reduced. I really believe what people say. Ali is the roof of the world. For example, it will be particularly uncomfortable in Ali at an altitude of 4,8 meters, but it will get better in Shigatse. We also learned a little through this trip that not all plateaus are the same, and not all highs are the same.
On the way to Zhongba, aquatic plants and herders began to appear, which we didn't see all the way in Ali. On the way to Zhongba, there is a section of road called landscape highway, with many herders on both sides, flocks of cattle and sheep, rich water plants, and no desolate atmosphere like Ali. We chose a grass that is convenient for getting off the road and drove past. These are two standard herdsman families, and they can only say hello and thank you. I asked them how old their children were, and I couldn't understand them. I saw a lovely little girl. The child took me to the tent. It was very dark and simple. There were several beds made of benches with some simple bedding on them. In the middle of the tent was a small stove with hot water burning on it. I gave the little girl a lot of chocolates and candy snacks, and she kept looking at me and smiling, telling me that it was delicious. It's noon outside the tent. The sun shines high on the plateau, which is very warm. In the distance, the snow-capped mountains are rolling, and groups of lambs are perched on the grass under the blue sky and white clouds.
Chatting with the host at home, this young man is very young, just outdoors all the year round, and the wind and the sun make him look very old. It's interesting. He can't understand what I'm saying, and I can't understand what he's saying, but we've been talking about the plateau. I asked some questions, and he kept smiling, a very simple and honest Tibetan compatriot.
Later, I chatted with this sister. She had all the shyness of Tibetan women. She always smiled shyly, then blushed and nodded. Later, she went back to the tent, always shy, and didn't come out to see us off until we left.
Zhongba County, which belongs to Shigatse City, Xizang Autonomous Region, is located in the west of Shigatse City, the westernmost point of Shigatse City, and north of the Himalayas. Zhongba County is a typical plateau mountain landform, bordering Nepal, and the Gangdise Mountains obliquely run through the central part of the county, most of which are above 5 meters above sea level. Although I left Ali, it is close to Ali, and the altitude is still relatively high. If I walk a few steps or talk all the time outdoors, I will still feel high.
I left the herdsmen's house and drove on to Hoerba County. Located in the west of Zhongba County, Shigatse City, it is also a border county, bordering Nepal. In 219, it was lifted out of poverty and its economy is mainly animal husbandry. Without stopping, keep walking.
I didn't stay in Zhongba. It's too early. Go ahead and stay in Saga. Passing through the Assault Lashan Mountain, it is 492 meters above sea level, and it is a little high here. This is the boundary between Zhongba County and Saga County. Crossing this mountain is one step closer to Saga County.
at ten o'clock in the evening, I finally arrived in Saga. Suddenly,
