On October 27, I wandered aimlessly on the Internet, read travel notes on Tibet, and decided to go to Tibet. The next day, I studied the strategy for the whole day, made a preliminary plan in the form of a road trip, and left as soon as I could. I asked my spiritual and life leader (Xiao Xi on Jianghu) for this report. After I got his consent, I immediately bought Rhodiola rosea capsules from Leiyun in Jing'an Temple and booked two one-way tickets online for November 1st and 2nd. I boarded Shanghai for Lhasa with my spiritual and life leader Xiao Xi. The following is a short ten-day journey from November 2 to November 12.

D1: Departure from Shanghai-Lhasa on November 2: 14:15 on November 2 Hongqiao International Airport Tibet Airlines TV9802 Stop: Chongqing Arrival: 20:20 on November 2 Gonggar Airport Terminal , arrived at Gonggar Airport on time at 8:20 pm. Before leaving the airport, the police checked their ID cards at the boarding gate. Every passenger leaving the airport had to take out his ID card and take a photo on the machine, and it was all from the 14th century. inspection. It was dark and I got on the airport bus. I couldn't see anything clearly outside the window. I was speechless and a little nervous all the way. An hour later, I arrived at the Civil Aviation Passenger Terminal on Niangniang South Road. When we were about to arrive at the Civil Aviation Passenger Terminal, the Potala Palace suddenly came into view. There is a large palace on the mountain, which is very spectacular and exciting. Get off the car and go to the reserved hotel. When taking a taxi at the entrance of the Civil Aviation Passenger Transport, I saw a Tibetan taxi carpool online, where the driver takes the passengers, greets you constantly, and takes you with you. Xiaoxi and I carpooled to the hotel alone and got off early. The room is average, barely reaching four-star standards. I read the online guide and was mentally prepared, so don’t expect too much from hotels in Tibet. Because I was afraid of the altitude sickness, I planned to go to Linzhi the next day to avoid the altitude sickness. The hotel was only booked for one day.

I wanted to use my time to learn more about Lhasa in the evening, so I wanted to have a late-night snack, although I wasn’t hungry. When we took a taxi, Xiaoxi and I went to the Tianhai Night Market online. Tianhai Night Market mainly specializes in barbecue, which is divided into Sichuan barbecue and halal barbecue. Sichuan BBQ is the same as Shanghai BBQ. Halal barbecues are all halal things, such as roasted sheep heads, sheep hooves, sheep eyes, and sheep intestines. I found a halal barbecue and ordered fried lamb heads, lamb skewers, grilled lamb trotters, grilled lamb tendons, and mutton soup. After getting off the plane, I felt good about myself. Among the above foods, the fried sheep head tasted passable, but the others were not so good, including Lhasa beer. Personally, I like Qingdao’s pure raw food for beer. Xiaoxi likes to eat vermicelli, so she added vermicelli to the mutton soup, but the mutton soup was too salty and she couldn't drink it. I bought a small watermelon at the fruit stall and returned to the hotel. Back at the hotel, the watermelon tasted really weird. After the watermelon buffet breakfast in other hotels in Lhasa, the watermelon in Lhasa in winter does not taste good.

Okay, go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. I fell asleep immediately, but when I woke up from my dream, I found that it was only 1 am. Xiao Xixi on the side said that she hadn't fallen asleep and couldn't fall asleep anyway. Then I checked the symptoms of hyperreflexia on my phone and found that it was difficult to fall asleep, which is also one of the symptoms of hyperreflexia. Shit, give creek rhodiola a few days in advance. But how to prevent it still encounters a high response. Then I woke up and felt a little headache. Because of drinking, I induced a high reaction, and then I never fell asleep again. The whole world was looking for Duke Zhou, and he lay there all night.

D2: On November 3rd, Lhasa - Mira Pass - the mainstay - Bayi Town (the administrative center of Nyingchi Region) had a sleepless night. I get up at eight o'clock in the morning and go have breakfast. The hotel's buffet breakfast is good. After breakfast we went to look for the car. Go to No. 58 to find a bus in the same city. Now, during the off-season, there are a variety of rental car options. After the first phone call, it was resolved. I originally wanted to borrow a Pajero or a Baoba, but I found a 500-day-old Highlander 2.7v6 four-wheel drive with an original price of 800 yuan. As per our plan, there were no purely off-road sections on our itinerary. Although the suspension of the Highlander is not a professional off-road vehicle, it is enough for an SUV with a higher chassis. The Highlander did it and set off immediately. At ten o'clock in the morning, we were already on the way to Linzhi.

Due to time issues, we drove directly to Linzhi on the first day of driving. We stopped to take photos along the way (for example, I stopped at Mira Pass and Mainstay to take a photo), but did not visit any scenic spots. even so. It was already dark when we arrived at Linzhi. Speaking of taking pictures, we have to mention our navigator Xiaoxixi, who came down excitedly to take a photo of Yangni River. Later, when I was taking beautiful photos of her at Mira Pass, I discovered that there was no memory card in the camera. Xiao Xixi, who once considered herself a smart person, forgot to bring her memory card. Fortunately, Xiao Xixi’s new note2 has very good shooting effects, which makes up for the shortcomings of the SLR. Bon voyage. It’s past 19:30 on August 1, and it’s just dark, because Tibet and Shanghai are two time zones apart. 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 being hungry all day, I looked for something to eat on Dianping and decided to go to the Medog Stone Pot Mushroom Soup House. Comrade Xiao Xixi, the navigator on my co-pilot, spotted the signboards of Linzhi Minshan Hotel and Medog Mushroom Soup House almost at the same time. There is only an angular distance between them.

Park the car at the hotel, you can drink in the car, then leave your luggage and go straight to Medog Stone Pot Mushroom Soup, 280 yuan, small pot, similar to Lulang Stone Pot Chicken.

Personally, although the taste of chicken is not as good as Lulang Stone Pot Chicken, in terms of mushrooms, it is more economical than Lulang Stone Pot Chicken. There are a lot of mushrooms in the 280 yuan pot, but the Lulang Stone Pot Chicken only has chicken and ginseng but no mushrooms. Added mushrooms for extra money. Anyway, Xiaoxi and I didn’t finish everything we ate. I read the store’s introduction to the Medogite pot, which claims that the pot is made of soapstone and can withstand high temperatures of 2,000 degrees Celsius. Soapstone is only produced in Medog, and a pot is carved out of the whole stone. After finishing the stone pot chicken, it was already past eight o'clock. I drove around Bayi Town and tried my luck to see if I could load ammunition into Xiaoxi's SLR, which is a CF memory card. I was worried about whether I could buy a DSLR memory card in a place like this. The beauty of adults can actually find a computer store in the convention and exhibition center. I walked in and bought a Kingston 16G CF card for 200 yuan, which was quite cheap. I felt relieved. If I couldn't get the card, the rest of my life would be difficult. If Xiaoxi comes to Tibet and starts a fight with a guy who is not pretending, she will be angry with me. Now she is satisfied and I am relieved. Go back happily.

There are also many places across the country that are known as mainstays.

Female Pig’s Knuckle Debuts

D3: On November 4th, Bayi Town-Sejila Pass-Lulang Linhai-Bomi got up at six o’clock in the morning. Out of the gate, Yang Nihe is across the street. The sound of water is loud. At 7 o'clock, the river was dark and nothing could be seen except the stars. Stars can only be described in one word, that is 'many'. Forgive my language barrier. The sun was chirping and it didn't come out until nine in the morning. I wanted to buy Dicos for breakfast, but they didn’t open until ten o’clock. I had to wait for Xiaoxi to get up and leave the room to go to Dicos. Today’s goal is to go straight to Bomi. On the way out of Bayi, I only passed by Yangni Pavilion, Shenshan Mountain and Julin Temple, but did not enter. It didn’t take long to reach the entrance of Sejila Mountain. Lots of people, cars and tripods were already there. November is now the off-season for tourism and the weather is sunny. Namjagbarwa Peak, which is said to be a chance encounter, is not even covered with a mysterious veil. At a glance, there is not a trace of cloud, and the freckles on the face of Namjagbarwa Peak are all very clear. Nothing to say, just a crazy shot. I want to try the famous Lulang Stone Pot Chicken at noon. Unexpectedly, I didn’t pay much attention when I passed by Lulang. I thought it was not the authentic Lulang because the old city of Lulang was demolished. The current Lulang New Town is like a temporary trailer next to a construction site. They are all made of colored steel plates, which is completely different from what I imagined. I regarded the whole town of Lulang as a construction site and ignored it, so I had to go back and eat again. On the way back, I ate stone pot chicken and the gas tank of the car was empty. By the time we arrived on August 1st, it was already 12 o'clock in the evening.

This is a later story. Although I miss the stone pot chicken for the time being, the beautiful scenery along the way is really delicious. There is no speed limit all the way from August 1 to Bomi. Even so, it is difficult to stop and take photos along the way, because there are 14 kilometers of Tongmai natural dangers, all of which are dirt roads. Now, roads are being built and tunnels are being dug. I heard that in two years there will be no natural insurance for Tongmai. After passing through the 14-kilometer Tongmai natural barrier, the Tongmai Bridge is a steel structure one-way bridge at the intersection of two rivers. Wheat is naturally dangerous, use roadside signs, narrow roads, let the winner win. Because in many places, cars can only pass one by one in one direction, and you can't stop them. We went smoothly without any queues and soon waddled across the bridge and up the Parung Tsangpo River towards Bomi. This beauty cannot be expressed in words. When we arrived at Bomi to find a place to live, there was only one road in Bomi town. The entire town is just two rows of houses on the side of National Highway 318, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The hotel I liked online in advance was being renovated, and finally I found another one, which looked like a small guest house. He also said that the capacity was not enough and the air conditioner could not be turned on at night, so he had to make do with it. It looks like the sleeping bag I bought will come in handy.

Looking for a restaurant to eat, I found Shenxianju, a restaurant owned by Sichuanese. The river on the edge of Bomi Town is called Zhamu River, and the fish in the river is called Zhamu fish. It tastes really good. I ordered the Tibetan pork that I had always wanted to eat, but it turned out to be bacon. I am disappointed. On the way, I took a look at the little Tibetan pigs on the side of the road and tasted the fresh Tibetan pork. This wish can only be realized when I go to Tibet next time. Consider this trip a little regretful. After dinner, Xiao Xixi wanted to wash her hair. In a small town like Bomi, she found a barber shop and asked about it. The price was 20 for washing and 35 for dry cleaning. After half an hour of washing, the Tibetan girl from Naqu washed Xiao Xixi's hair and was quite satisfied. After washing up and going back to the hotel to sleep, I took out my sleeping bag and gave it to Xiao Xixi. There is no remote control for the air conditioner, and it doesn't matter whether it will trip or not. I'm going to press the air conditioner to force it on. Let’s talk about it after booting up. It was warm and dry all night.

What’s the next sentence? The canoe has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains? Or set up my muddy sails and build a bridge across the deep sea?

I forgot. Anyway, everything went smoothly.

Guxiang Lake is in the dry season. When the wind blows, bursts of sand and smoke float from the dry river bed.

D4: November 5th, Bomi-Midui-Ranwu-Laigu-Bomi-Lulang-August 1st, the sun came out at eight o'clock in the morning. After getting up and leaving Bomi, suddenly a travel companion stopped a car and saw a chubby young man from Henan named Zhang who entered Tibet from the Xining Qinghai-Tibet Train. He was going to take the Yunnan-Tibet Line from here to Yunnan. A talkative guy, listening to stories, telling stories, laughing all the way to Ranwu Town, waving hands in vain, wishing him good luck. We passed the Midui Glacier. Because we were going to the Laigu Glacier, we took photos at the entrance but did not go in. When you arrive in Ranwu Town, you have to go back and forth to the ancient villages along the Ranwu Lake to get a glimpse of the ancient glaciers.

That road is newly built. Workers are drawing yellow lines on the newly paved asphalt road, and W-shaped steel isolation buffer strips are installed on the edge of the cliff. But when we got to Laigu Village, it was a long dirt road. At the entrance of the village, an old Tibetan man held a ticket, 30 yuan*2 each. Look, the tickets were probably printed by the village itself. Anyway, I saw the beautiful Laigu Glacier, so far it is worth it. After seeing Laigu Glacier, I continued walking. There is no road and I don’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 Highlander, which has no off-road capabilities, struggle.

Today, I plan to go back to August 1st. I'm in a hurry and will start my return journey immediately. Not far from Wuzhen, two travel friends stopped the car. We hope to find someone with a story again. After getting on the bus, the two boys said there was a companion in front of them. Not long after, another boy came to the dealership, and he was speechless all the way. It turns out they are not people who can talk. They got in the car to sleep so they thought I was the driver. On the road sign No. 4083 at No. 318, I saw what Zhang said. The Erguotou and cigarettes are placed on the road sign to commemorate a passing driver who overturned his car on No. 4083. The road was bumpy and he wanted to cross the wheat barrier before the sun went down, fearing that the safety factor would be reduced after dark. But it was already dark when we reached Tongmai Bridge. This time, I waited on the bridge for a long time, because there were several large trucks on the opposite side, and I had to wait for them to pass one by one. The speed limit on the bridge is 5km/h, so be patient. By the time they finally passed, it was completely dark. After carefully walking through the wheat field, we went to queue to rest for a while, and then rushed to Lulang. It's almost eight o'clock in Lulang, and the car's oil light is already on. Let the three travel friends get off the bus.

Xiao Xixi and I went to eat the Lulang Stone Pot Chicken that we missed. The store was empty except for the boss and the waiter. The boss has organized Sichuan Mahjong, and Kaitai and others went to play. Mahjong Fan Xiaoxi couldn't help but be eager to try it. The stone pot chicken is 280, and the boss offered us 220 for the last table, which is generous. The stove was boiling, and Xiaoxi and I watched them fight to the end. They played a big game of chess. A deck of cards costs 400 or 500 yuan and is thrown on the table. It feels like playing mahjong in Shanghai for 400 yuan. It's past nine o'clock. I don’t want to live in Lulang, but I want to drive back to Bayi. However, the oil light was on, the gas was running out, and the gas station was closed. Go ahead and bite the bullet. Fortunately, the altitude dropped all the way from Lulang to Bayi, and it was all downhill. I just skated all the way to the empty block and tried to ignore the accelerator. Finally, at 11pm on August 1st, we found a hotel. I went up and asked if it was only 300 yuan. Great, stay right now. From Ranwu to August 1st, this day was really tiring.

The habit of smoking, acting like a hooligan has come.

Full of fat.

Imagine how beautiful it will be in spring.

Laigu Glacier is located in Laigu Village, surrounded by several glaciers, so those glaciers that can be seen in Laigu Village are collectively called Laigu Glacier.

There is no electricity in the village.

I love fences pierced by dead wood.

It is said that ice is suitable for all ages.

Did this piece of blue ice form here or before the ocean?

Where is the road?

This is a magical road to heaven.

Laigu Glacier advertises against this background.

The wind is very strong and it is slanted.

D5: The original itinerary of Bayi Town-Basongcuo-Lhasa on November 6 was to spend the night in Tsetang, Bayi Town, visit the Shannan area, and go directly from Tsetang to Shigatse. Because Xiao Xixi’s friend arrived in Lhasa on the evening of the 6th, the following itinerary was slightly adjusted. She rushed back to Lhasa to join them in the following itinerary. On the way back to Lhasa, we naturally had to go to Basongtso. We didn’t go there the day before because we were in a hurry. Because it’s not very early to set off in the morning, the sun rises really late in Tibet, so the difference between the two time zones cannot be ignored. 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. It’s past noon in Basongcuo National Forest Park. 30 kilometers away from National Highway 318.

While parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the park, I went to explore the road. The staff at the door told me to buy a ticket for 45 yuan and 50 yuan. I only bought a ticket for one person and said the driver didn’t need to buy a ticket. I do not understand. Later, no one welcomed us, so we drove in in our own car, the two of us. No one stopped us, so we bought our tickets for nothing. Go directly to Tashi Island, where there is a Tashi Temple. It’s begging for children. In a small temple, there are wood carvings on the left and right sides of the door and stone carvings on the left and right sides of the steps, symbolizing the worship of male and female reproduction. It really feels like begging for a child. The Gesang flowers planted at the entrance of the temple above are still blooming brilliantly. In such weather, even the flowers of Kelsang are blooming, which is unexpected. Sure enough, there were Tibetan compatriots holding a newborn baby in the temple to fulfill their wishes. The baby's hair was still wet.

After walking around Little Tashi Island, we continued driving to explore the depths of Basongcuo. We drove to a small village and saw a lot of Tibetan pigs. They are very cute and the youngest one is a slap. At such a young age, they were out on the ground with their mother, trying to catch pigs and play with them. Unexpectedly, when they approached, their mother screamed anxiously, fearing that it would attract Tibetans, so she had to give up. Keep driving until you reach a lake. You were beheaded. Go back, back to Lhasa. You can't look into it.

After leaving the gate of Basongcuo Park, I was very hungry. It was about three o'clock. Find any restaurant to fill your stomach. I found a small Sichuan restaurant, opened by a Chongqing native. I ordered fish, scrambled eggs with fungus, stir-fried, and grilled for two meals. Luckily the food tasted good and the fish was good too. Before dinner, I went to the toilet, which was a ditch in the ground. I squatted on it, and the breeze blew the light pp, which made me feel at ease. I'm not a pervert. I can only consider Miri in Malaysia and I will choose the right one. The store owner said that they have been here for 16 years and now the water supply here is intermittent every day. When supplying water, the water should be connected and stored well. There is clean water in Song Cuo, but I don’t know why there is intermittent water supply at the door. After eating, we rushed to Lhasa, because there will be a speed limit on the road, so we must hurry up. The hotel was rebooked online, and a friend from Xiaoxi followed us there to book it.

After running all the way to Daiyue, we finally arrived at the hotel at around 9pm. I was with Xiaoxi, Linlin and her sister. A four star hotel is really nice. Many artworks and artifacts are displayed in the hall. Everyone seems to have some cultural heritage. The room is actually booked. A suite on Ctrip usually costs RMB 500 or RMB 600, but tonight’s special price is only RMB 368. The room is as big as a classroom and equipped with computer speakers. The bathrooms are all Kohler's bathrooms. The decoration is worthy of four stars and is good value for money. Great value for money. After entering the room and tidying up, the four of us went out to Deji North Road and gathered at a halal restaurant to eat roast mutton and mutton soup, because we thought that Linlin and his sister would be resistant when they first arrived in Lhasa. , no one drank. After eating, they went back to rest early. My little Xixi and I have adapted to the low altitude of Linzhi and there is no high opposition. We returned to the room, took a hot bath comfortably, looked back at the beautiful Linzhi in the next few days, and looked forward to the next trip to Shigatse.

Beauty and piggy

Which one do you like

It is already November. The cauliflower is yellow, this

After breakfast in the morning, we picked up Linlin and my sister, and the four of us set off to Shigatse. All the way to the west, as the altitude increased, Linlin and her sister, who had just arrived in Lhasa and had not yet adapted to the high altitude, began to have some reactions. Seeing Yang Zhuoyong's mistake, all reactions suddenly disappeared. Everyone sighed in unison: Why is it so blue?

Roll over. Oh, people should be fine

Go to the lake, it's too cold.

Who grew the dogtail grass?

This tablet and the sheep behind it cost 5 yuan.

Not all lamas are qualified to wear red boots.

If you park in the parking lot of Corolla Glacier to take pictures, someone will ask you for the entrance fee, which is 50 mosquitoes per person.

D7: November 8th Shigatse-Tashilhunpo Monastery-Yangbajing-Dangxiong County

It is basically a dirt road all the way to Yangbajing. We arrived at the hotel we found in Damxion County that night, not expecting much. I just want to stay 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 watch the sunrise, so I went to bed early.

D8: November 9, Damxion County-Namtso-Lhasa

I got up when it got dark. I wore the moon, but unfortunately I didn’t wear the stars or the moon. In the morning, the temperature in Namtso was minus 7 degrees. When the wind blows, it gets really cold. However, I think the effect of the landscape photos is the most sensational so far.

According to legend, Nyenchen Tanglha was Namtso’s husband, and Meiyamdrok Yongtso was his mistress. Nyenchen Tanglha once coveted the beauty of Yangzhuoyongcuo. Namtso and other Nyenchen Tanggula returned to their hometown in tears every day, so Namtso is a saltwater lake. In the end, Nyenchen Tanglha returned to his wife Namtso and stayed with her forever.

I have seen Yang Zhuoyongcuo and Namtso, and sure enough, they have different styles. Yangzhuoyongcuo does have the charm to capture people's hearts, and Namtso does have the style of the first room.

Frozen

Which is the husband and which is the wife?

On the way back, I passed the Nagenla Pass.

Is there a stone monkey in there too? One day, earth-shaking changes will begin from here.

These two stones are also good attractions.

d9-D11: November 10th-November 12th, Lhasa.

I have been in Lhasa these days. Because I had a good impression of the National Hotel, I booked it for three days. We used to go to a chess and card room (called a teahouse in Lhasa, not a chess and card room) to play mahjong. We found one outside and one inside the hotel. Although it is an automatic mahjong machine with large tiles, their tiles have no wind direction and no flowers. They are pure Sichuan Mahjong. We are all mahjong enthusiasts in Shanghai. We play with the four landlords in the hotel every night until two or three o'clock. The next day, we didn’t have to rush and just slept until we woke up naturally. I won’t talk about this in this city of sunshine, but will just share two pictures.

It was taken at Laoyu Village on the fifth floor of Xincuo.

That expression, I enjoy it very much, I want to do it now.

The Mani pile next to the Potala Palace shows the Tibetan people's worship of yak. They believe that after a yak dies, all parts of its body turn into mountains, rivers, forests and everything else.

The Potala Palace is used for climbing.

The architectural details of the Potala Palace are also very scientific.

Jokhang Temple Prayer Wheel

Since I have converted to the Sakya Sect, and since there is a Sakya Temple near Bajiao Street, I naturally want to go there. This is a very small temple with only one room serving as a Buddhist temple. I went up to meet the elders, who were very kind and peaceful. We basked in the sun together for a while.

It's my fault that I didn't do my homework. I went to Sera Monastery on Sunday and did not debate the scriptures behind closed doors.

Souvenirs

There are fewer people in Lhasa bars during the off-season.

The first trip to Tibet has ended. This was the first time I was deeply attracted by Tibet. Ngari, Mount Everest, Medog, the beautiful Tibet, wait for me, I will be back soon.
