Road trip Raiders from Lanzhou to Qilian Mountain

In fact, there is still a certain distance from Lanzhou to Qilian Mountain. For friends who like go on road trip, go on road trip is full of fun. You can make full use of your time more reasonably. This is a guide to road trip from Lanzhou to Qilian Mountain.

Day 7 8.2

Early in the morning, I went to the sculpture office of Xi 'an Silk Group to hold a unique ceremony of leaving the city and issued the customs clearance documents. Let's go to Lanzhou.

Traveling by high-speed rail, I feel more and more westernized along the way, and the green hills in my hometown have become huge "mounds".

The high-speed train from Xi 'an to Lanzhou University is not too long, and the scenery on the road is not legendary. Before entering the west, although some psychological preparations have been made, it will be more difficult to understand the situation.

But I originally came from economically underdeveloped Yunnan, and I didn't have much concern. I thought I was similar to my hometown.

Lanzhou, this is really a messy city, and the air is very poor. This is my first impression of Lanzhou. Just left Xi 'an, the gap between them is too big.

After getting off the high-speed train, we waited for a taxi for almost an hour. On the way to the hotel by car, I really admire the driver's skill and rampage. Several times I felt like I was about to collapse.

But after taking a taxi three times a night, I realized that this is the normal state of driving in Lanzhou.

The traffic in the western city of Lanzhou is still developing, which is really chaotic. The streets are full of construction sites, which is also an inevitable process.

Drivers are very savage, and it seems that they can't move a step on this land without brutal fighting. Another manifestation of chaos: sidewalks have become "pavements".

This phenomenon appears in the streets near the Yellow River Railway Bridge. Judging from the prosperity of the street, this section should be the main street in Lanzhou, but it is completely occupied by stalls.

Unlike other cities, this looks normal in Lanzhou, and there is no urban management crowd. Clothes, Korean makeup and even nails live on this crowded sidewalk.

Lanzhou gives me the impression that it is behind Kunming. There are many guest houses, shopping malls, clothing wholesale markets and trade cities, so I feel that there are some old sayings that can be seen everywhere in Lanzhou. I visited several roadside shops at random, and the products lacked cutting-edge elements.

The first time I saw the Yellow River, there was a yacht advertisement on the shore, "The boat is sailing on the blue waves, and people are swimming in the picture world." This sentence amused me. This is clearly the Yellow River water. Where does Bibo come from?

Luning snack street is a special snack street in Lanzhou, and most of it is also food of Hui people. This street is short, narrow and strong. I did taste some delicious and affordable foods, such as eggs, milk and fermented grains.

Day 8.3

It takes five or six hours to drive to Dabanshan observation deck in the morning, but I can't stay for ten minutes. It's too cold! It is really cold at an altitude of 3760.

Before we got off the bus, the aborigines gathered around and asked us to buy their garlands and said, "Sister, earn us some tuition!" " "I paused and refused. Although their skin was dark and chapped under the cold and high-intensity ultraviolet rays, which made people a little uncomfortable, I instinctively refused. On the way back, I seriously thought about it. Should I buy things I don't need to "help them"? This reminds me of the time when I went to the seaside with my brother Hao and was kidnapped by morality to buy flowers. I suddenly hate this behavior of taking advantage of others' sympathy.

This is a social mentality: the strong should sympathize with the weak and try their best to help them.

In this case, I am a strong man in their eyes. In order to help them, I should buy things that I don't want and are of unequal value. Later, I went to other places and found that there are quite a few such commercial activities in some areas in the northwest. People like to use such words: help us, it's not easy, and so on. As a prelude to sales. However, they are simple. They just want to sell things, but they don't cheat or force them. This is much better than those vendors in Baicheng Beach who always introduce buying and selling flowers. Is my heart too cruel? Stand in a safe place and think about your behavior with a mind that has nothing to do with yourself. But I still think that buying a wreath can't change anyone's life, just make them satisfied with making money from tourists, instead of focusing on developing industries that can really support their families.

In the afternoon, when I arrived at Menyuan, the rape flowers in Menyuan had withered, overlooking the snow-capped mountains, and the green color had a unique flavor.

Live in Qilian at night. It's already half past seven when I came to Qilian. The sun hasn't set yet, but it's cold. Qilian is a county town, but it is worse than the north of monks.

Eating in a Sichuan restaurant, both husband and wife are from Chengdu. They have been in Qilian for twenty years. They don't speak Mandarin, but we communicate in Sichuan dialect.

In the meantime, the man took his daughter to clean, but I found that the shop had not been cleaned for a long time.

The original white wall was yellow and the water in the basin was dirty. Although it is Sichuan food, there are actually few dishes. My mother only eats jiaozi.

Although I really want to know why they left their hometown and came to this place, they stayed there for twenty years.

But after asking if he was a soldier, there were no detailed questions. The price of Qilian is not high, and the white cake is only one yuan.

Qilian, known as fairyland, really makes me feel a little dreamy. Because it's too cold!

In the square of this town, no aunts got together to dance in the square dance, and almost all of them wore cotton-padded jackets, which made me embarrassed when I first came to wear shorts, and I received many strange eyes along the way. Coupled with the few people on the street, it is even more deserted.

There are many Tibetans in Qilian, and almost all shops, local taxation bureaus and state taxation bureaus have Tibetan besides Chinese.

This is my first thought. Later, on my return trip, I met a teacher who had lived in Gansu for many years. We talked about our understanding of Gansu.

He told me that he spent an autumn and winter in Qilian, so it was so cold even in summer. Life is not easy. Is there such a fairyland in this world?

In this place, it is not the largest number of Tibetans or the largest number of Hui people, but a nation between Tibetans and Hui people.

At 8: 04 am on the ninth day.

Sunrise in Zhuo'er Mountain.

This is the second time I have gone out to watch the sunrise. I got up early, but I couldn't see the sunrise because of the clouds. Qilian's indifference was seen the day before. I put on my down jacket for the first time in August today. When the sun shone on the snow-capped mountains, I remembered the Yulong Snow Mountain and Jinding written by Fu Zhen before.

Zhuo'er Mountain is beautiful, but it is not absolutely beautiful.

Along the way, I came to Arou Temple, a small temple of Tibetan Buddhism. Most tourists like to take photos in special places, such as prayer wheels and prayer flags. However, few people seriously understand its culture and wisdom. Arou Temple is not a place with serious tourism, but it maintains a relatively primitive style. This is an area that we don't know at all. This trip focuses on the Silk Road, but it is inseparable from the exploration of faith along the way. I saw Tibetan women chanting around a building and Tibetan children. I remembered what conductor Xi 'an said: "We know very little, but the unknown is endless. We may get lost in the ocean of knowledge, and many things lead us to discover and explore like an introduction. " Along the way, I know very little, but it has opened one door after another for me. After that, you need to learn, consult and explore by yourself.

The knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism is mentioned in detail in the chapter of Ta 'er Temple in Xining.

Conclusion: Compared with the previous places, the west will indeed bring people a collision between mind and vision.

In the case of inconvenient transportation, it brings inconvenience to our travel, but it also brings things that are not available in the developed eastern regions.

In fact, the world is cold and warm, and stories are everywhere.
