How many miracles does it take to photograph the starry sky on Mount Everest?

"The world is so beautiful, but I am trapped in a small room."

Because of a "tasty" bet with friends, UP Master @ Final 77 embarked on a journey to Tibet to shoot the stars.

Pulling the rider "6 1" together, the two set off from Hangzhou and took a trip.

Along the way, they were tortured by high rebellion and the weather, and they were also blackmailed and had nowhere to spend the night.

However, the insistence on Mount Everest seems to have touched Tibet.

During the several-day trip, miracles were triggered countless times at the end of the semester, and many people missed the beautiful scenery.

This is the most magnificent picture he has ever seen in his life.

Preparation for entering Tibet

There are three ways to enter Tibet: by plane, by train and by car.

In order to save energy and time, I finally chose to take the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and 6 1.

In more than 20 hours' drive, they passed Qinghai Lake, overlooked Kunlun Snow Mountain at Golmud Station, crossed the no-man's land of Hoh Xil, and climbed the Tanggula Pass over 5,200 meters.

At the end of the term, I was lucky enough to witness a rare scene-

On one side of the train is the Kunlun Snow Mountain, which rises and falls continuously. On the other side, the sun sets and the Buddha shines brightly.

The world seems to be split in two and turned into two completely different spaces.

But under the action of the law of conservation of luck, I was still intoxicated with the beautiful scenery at the end of the term, and the next second I forgot to open the oxygen supply port, which was too high.

Suffering from severe pain, he vomited side by side in the sink with his fellow travelers next door.

In severe cases, I even thought about running away.

However, after seeing the Potala Palace in Lhasa, all the negative emotions vanished.

Seeing amazing lights at night is enough to offset any travel fatigue.

Lhasa, as beautiful as oil painting, is only the starting point of this trip, and they will continue to go deep into Tibetan areas in the next few days.

At the end of the semester, 6 1, I need to rent a car here to buy necessities and start to deal with the high rebellion.

After that, they drove almost all the way on the plateau above 4700 meters, and the oxygen content in the air was only about half that of Hangzhou.

Reasoning, the two men took the simplest and rudest way, each with an oxygen bottle, and set off.

Go deep into Tibetan areas

Before officially shooting the starry sky on Mount Everest, I decided to go to other scenic spots to practice my hands at the end of the term.

Two people driving on 109 national highway, no tall buildings and traffic. Instead, it is blue sky and white clouds, high mountains and grasslands.

On the way, you will pass by cattle and sheep. This kind of fun makes driving a pleasure.

Soon after, they arrived at Namco, the largest plateau lake in the world.

The uncut natural landscape gives people a strong visual impact.

Looking around, it is an endless blue sea and hundreds of kilometers of snow-capped mountains.

Many tourists usually stop here, but the goal of the final and 6 1 is the icon Tianmen across the lake.

After a short stay, the two went on the road again.

This time, the road was not as smooth as before, and they were forced to risk a flat tire and continue to bump on the unpaved road, as if driving on a washboard.

After more than five hours, I just wanted to punch myself in the face at the end of the term and take back the sentence "Driving is enjoyment".

To make matters worse, they followed the navigation all the way to dark and finally reached the so-called camp. They wanted to stay there, but found that the scene was almost a wasteland, only the tents used by Tibetans to guard the entrance of the scenic spot, and the other party refused to pay for the night.

At this time, whether you are looking for another place to live or turning around, you are bound to miss the sunrise of Nyainqentanglha Peak tomorrow morning.

For the beautiful scenery, they gritted their teeth and made a dangerous decision-sleeping directly in the car.

Late at night in June in Tibet, the temperature plummeted to 0 degrees, and the wind roared outside the car, like a horror film shooting scene, fearing that their car would overturn at the end of the term.

I spent the night in fear, and when I got off work at six the next morning, I was numb.

Dragging my tired body, my previous confidence and interest were greatly reduced.

But life is full of reversals. As if moved by their persistence, when he looked across the river-

The rain stopped and the wind subsided, and the sun just poured on Nyainqentanglha Peak.

It is a natural wonder that many people can meet but can't ask for-Rizhao Jinshan.

No language can clearly describe the mood at the end of the term.

Whether tired or depressed, looking at the scenery in front of him, he felt that "everything is worth it."

A trip to Mount Everest

After leaving Namco, the two finally finished their ultimate goal of this trip-shooting the starry sky on Mount Everest.

After a bad start, they experienced a flat tire in a journey of more than 800 kilometers.

Precision into the pit

After entering Tibet, the two seem to follow some strange laws. Every time they are unlucky, there are always surprises.

When they arrived in Dangxiong, the sky suddenly darkened, and they were lucky to see the solar eclipse again.

The sun under the final lens

With such good luck, some netizens commented that their oxygen tanks were not filled with oxygen, but with European gas.

Say goodbye to this episode, and continue your trip to Everest with 6 1 at the end of the semester.

The car sped on the 304 provincial highway, and the scenery along the way was unparalleled. The rainbow flows in the mountains, as if in a movie.

They decided to stop over in Shigatse because it was too far to arrive in one day.

In order not to lose time, they risked catching the night road and drove on the 3 18 national highway. There are no street lights on the road for hours, so we can only tell the direction by sporadic lights.

At both ends of the driveway are cliffs of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and on the other side are falling rocks. The danger is so high that they are still scared to think of it.

The sense of substitution is too strong, and I am already afraid.

It was not until two o'clock in the morning that the two arrived at the hotel safely.

When I saw Mount Everest in Shigatse, I thought the end point was close at hand, but when I looked at the map at the end point, I found that it took 7 hours to get to Mount Everest from Shigatse, which was outrageous to more than 300 kilometers.

But this is nothing. Before the end of the semester, we have already seen the big waves.

What he is really worried about is uncontrollable events. The weather on Mount Everest is very complicated. If it rains, the starry sky shooting plan will be ruined.

With expectation and anxiety, they set foot on the journey again, sailed into Mount Everest at 108 and arrived at the first observation deck.

Shibawanshan

After entering Tibet, I was hit in the face by reality many times. I thought I had to go through "81 difficulties" to see Mount Everest, but I didn't expect something to happen that made him doubt his eyes.

This time, even if he doesn't believe in metaphysics, he will doubt whether he has koi fish's physique.

Soon, the clouds dispersed and Mount Everest appeared.

Even though he was more than 60 kilometers apart, he saw the first peak in the world at a glance and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "What a fairy place is this!" "

People often say that when you come to Tibet, there is no major event except life and death. Facing the towering snow peaks, you will find that your existence is so small.

At this time, the same feeling was produced at the end of the term. Facing the snow-capped mountains, he felt that all his troubles had become a drop in the ocean.

It's just that sometimes Europe doesn't have enough memory.

The two stayed on the observation deck until the evening, trying to photograph the Milky Way rising from Mount Everest.

Seeing the stars appear, the sky darkens, and everything seems to go according to plan, but a large cloud floats by and blocks Mount Everest.

How to shoot is not only a competition of luck, but also a test of physical endurance.

The observation deck where they are located is 5000 meters above sea level, and the low temperature at night is unbearable. Coupled with the limitations of lenses and tripods, various reasons make waiting meaningless and have to return.

The first day of the starry sky shooting plan ended in failure.

Shoot the starry sky

I learned the previous lesson, and the next day, at the end of the semester, at 6 1, I changed my position, packed my equipment and headed for the Everest base camp, which is closer to Everest in a straight line.

They went by electric bus and walked with oxygen bottles. After arriving at the destination, people are already tired.

I wanted to wait here until the evening, but they gradually realized that it was completely unprovoked to suffer from the wind in the Everest base camp without plateau life experience.

The wind blew for two hours in a row, and their lips were completely chapped, and even their spirits began to wander.

Summoning up the last bit of reason, they went to a hotel not far away, hid in it and ate hot pot comfortably, waiting for night arrival.

It's just that people are not as good as days. That night, Mount Everest under the starry sky was swallowed up by clouds again.

Plum blossoms bloom for the second time-good things happen again

This is the last day of staying at Mount Everest. I didn't want to give up my last chance at the end of this term, so I stood outside in the cold for several hours.

But in the end, nothing went away.

I don't know what time it was, but he couldn't stand the low temperature and went back to the house. Only this time, he left the camera outside and continued shooting, intending to take a chance.

Comfort yourself, this trip is lucky enough, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot the starry sky. At the same time, I secretly look forward to falling asleep in the complicated mood at the end of the term.

When I got up the next day, I couldn't wait to kick off the final semester, but I saw a scene that made people's blood pressure rise. ...

Hurriedly turned out of the window and grabbed the camera from the dog's mouth.

At the moment when I looked at the photo with trepidation, I felt that there might really be a miracle at the end of the world.

The night passed and he succeeded.

In the lens, over Mount Everest, countless meteors crossed and the bright starry sky turned.

The shock of the whole scene cannot be described in words, but can only be felt intuitively from the barrage.

Netizens have made a wish to punch in the barrage.

At the end of the term, the European spirit appeared for the n th time.

If people's obsession can really touch nature, it's probably the case.

The road to the roof of the world

The starry sky shooting tour ended perfectly.

However, at the end of the journey, I gradually found that the starry sky was extremely bright in any unknown corner of Tibet except Mount Everest.

Although Everest is the ultimate goal, every bit along the way has become his treasure.

He learned to use engine hot water, met his eldest brother who traveled around China after resigning from Huawei, and saw license plates all over the country. Everyone has his own story.

Along the way, he went from Lhasa to Namco, then to Shigatse and Mount Everest.

Turn on Mount Qomolangma 108, and meet the starry sky, solar eclipse and Rizhao Jinshan.

Throughout the journey, the more he looked at the beautiful scenery, the more he couldn't help thinking about what kind of people had implemented infrastructure on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The railway in no man's land, the signal tower on the cliff, all the way to the power grid of the base camp of Mount Everest on the plateau ... On the roof of the world, an inch of infrastructure is worth an inch of blood.

In this land where young people have to play with oxygen bottles on their backs, it is hard to imagine how many difficulties those people have overcome before completing the infrastructure that allows anyone to drive all the way to the finish line.

And this construction is still going on.

Soon after I left Tibet, I saw the final news report that the Lhasa-Naqu Expressway was about to open to traffic.

This means that some people also want to drive from Lhasa to Namco, which takes more than half as long as him.

People who have been to Tibet can better understand how difficult it is to build infrastructure.

In his mind, they can even touch people's nerves more than snow-capped mountains.

In the comment area, some netizens also shared stories about their families and Tibet.

After learning that the infrastructure is hard, watching the video again will give you a brand-new feeling.

This trip, let the final more intuitive experience, the motherland is so magnificent.

It is the infrastructure, which allows people to witness the distant and mysterious scenery.

At the end of the semester, people who are temporarily in a difficult life and cannot travel far can enjoy these beautiful scenery through the lens.

In his videos, poetry and distance are no longer extravagant hopes.

Although the room is small, we can still see the whole world in it.
