heroic undertaking

Sometimes, a casual choice or decision will be accompanied by a rare and unforgettable experience in life, and even become a node that changes life.

Compared with previous trips to western Hunan and western Sichuan, this trip to Sichuan, Tibet and Qingdao is a feat!

The unpredictable natural scene, strong humanistic color and unknown and sinister road shape that can't be seen on weekdays not only cause strong visual psychological stimulation and gravity impact, but also make people feel uneasy and unforgettable for a long time. Perhaps, it will awaken something that has never been activated and has been dormant.

In early summer, everything is beautiful, and the magical journey that is about to begin is fascinating. It's sunny after the rain, so just leave, as if something inspired you to go far away.

Two years ago, I entered western Sichuan, went to Daocheng, and took the 3 18 national highway south of Sichuan-Tibet line. I feel a little uncomfortable except in Litang, Aden and Hailuogou. I feel that the scenery in autumn is very refreshing and there is no sense of constraint. This passage will be promoted by the northern national highway 3 17. Compared with the southern line, the northern line has higher altitude, less population and more primitive and magnificent scenery, which is what people expect today!

Once you find out what kind of person you are, you will really realize that you have always been qualified to dominate your life, and strive to start challenging yourself and dig deeper into yourself.

Further west, the mountains and waters are far away, and the scenery is in my heart. Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway entered Chengdu via Chongqing, and the real journey of Sichuan-Tibet-Qingdao University began.

Choose Yingxiu to rest, because it is the only way to "Siguniang Mountain", and more importantly, you can't miss the ten-year sacrifice of Wenchuan earthquake. We want to express our condolences for the tragic events ten years ago, and we want to completely record the reconstruction scene ten years later.

Looking back on Qiu Ji fifteen years ago, I first walked into Sichuan. Under the choice of "seeing the mountain or the water", I chose Siguniang Mountain. The experience of climbing Mount Balang at an altitude of 5040 meters, especially the windless sea of clouds, is still fresh in my memory.

It is said that Siguniang Mountain can be seen in the west when the sky is clear in Wan Li. Balangshan is more than 0/00 kilometers away from Chengdu/Kloc. A year ago, the 8.8km-long Balangshan Tunnel, the longest plateau tunnel in China, was officially opened. However, after crossing the first mountain of the Sichuan-Tibet line, you can still feel the meteorological change of "four seasons in one mountain and different days in ten miles". Entering the tunnel, the sky is foggy, just like autumn and winter; Out of the tunnel, the sun is shining and I come back in spring and summer. The blue sky and beautiful scenery give you a panoramic view and make you feel luckier to travel with you.

Siguniang Mountain is known as the sacred mountain of the East because of its majestic peaks, strange landforms and rich and unique landscapes, making it a tourist attraction, a paradise for climbers, a maze for hikers and a paradise for photographers.

Starting from Siguniang Mountain Town, along the Minjiang Valley, through Xiaojin County to Danba County, climb several ridges and climb to the end of the curved road. The chanting of Tibetan scriptures comes from the valley, and colorful prayer flags dance with the wind. Standing at the height of the hillside overlooking the Tibetan village in the middle of the oil painting with the back of Riba Longshan, and being in this "land where people and gods yearn for", you will naturally get inner peace and transcendental pleasure.

A few tens of kilometers away from Zhonglu Tibetan Village, on the other side of Dajin River, Jiaju Tibetan Village, which enjoys the name card of Jia Rong's amorous feelings, the fairy tale world in Tibetan areas and the most beautiful rural ancient town in China, climbs from Dajin Valley to the foot of Kapama Peak and is a little-known paradise hidden in Hengduan Mountains.

When I drove out of Danba, my mind was still a fairy tale painting of the Garden of Eden. Bart Mi Leide, the lead singer of MercyMe, sang in my ear: "There is a bright golden mist on the pasture ... Oh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day! Have a good feeling ... go my way ... everything is as I wish. "

Seda, which is about to "disappear", is a scenery that cannot be missed in this life. Therefore, shooting Seda is the main purpose of taking the northern Sichuan-Tibet line. From provincial highway 2 1 1, pass through Jinchuan county, set foot on national highway 3 17 on the northern line of Sichuan-Tibet line, enter the hinterland of northwest Sichuan Plateau, and stay overnight at Guanyin Bridge, the main intersection of Seda traffic in Ganzi Prefecture.

Seda, which means "Golden Horse" in Tibetan, is named after the legend that "horsehead" shaped gold was found on this rich and beautiful grassland. More than 20 kilometers away from Seda County, there is a ravine called Laronggou. A few miles along the ravine is the world-famous Wuming Buddhist College of Larong Temple, also known as Seda Buddhist College. It is called "the largest Buddhist college in the world" by the American newspaper Le Monde.

It began to rain when I walked into the mouth of Laronggou, and then the snowflakes floated. Although the temperature dropped, and I heard that most people here would have a high reaction, I climbed the steps on the hillside opposite Dajingtang of Buddhist College until I reached the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance, I was suddenly shocked by the scenery in front of me, and I could only sigh, "After the color arrives, it is colorless."

Because of the freedom of choice, I give up owning. I don't know whether to stay away from life or be closer to life.

Leave Seda, pass Onda, cross Laozhe Mountain and reach Ganzi County. ?

Laozhe Mountain is the boundary mountain between Luhuo County and sertar county, and it is also the only mountain for National Highway 3 17. Luhuo, known as the most beautiful county in Sichuan, is a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the plateau this season. Casa Lake, known as Mother Lake, is a famous local holy lake. Because she couldn't stay long on the way, she seemed to wait there for a long time and looked back at the tourists.

Starting from Ganzi County, go along Yalong River National Road 3 17 and pass Manigango. Manigango is a small town between Ganzi and Dege, and it is the only place to take the northern line of Sichuan and Tibet. When I first took a shower, I took pictures slowly by the gas station on the roadside to have a rest for the coming crossing of Queer Mountain.

In Tibetan, Queer Mountain is also called Rongmai Oza, which means the peak where the eagle can't fly. Queer Mountain is called "the first danger in Sichuan and Tibet" because of its steep terrain, narrow roads, lack of oxygen and extreme cold, but it is also the most beautiful place.

As we approached Queer Mountain, it began to snow. The higher we go, the bigger the snowflake becomes. The original clear valley is hidden in the heavy snow. At first glance, the world is white, which seems to make people feel that "Queer Mountain is beyond their reach".

There is a "sea" under the snow-capped mountain at the foot of Queer Mountain, which is called "Xinluhai". This name is said to be the name of the road construction army of Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and it is called Yulong Lacuo in Tibetan. The ecology of Xinluhai and its surroundings is primitive and complete, and a "Yaochi in the West" has ignited the climax of the beautiful scenery from Ganzi to Dege.

Life seems to be a complete colorful pattern, which was disrupted at the beginning, but you didn't spend time and energy to piece it together.

Mount Aila is the first gateway to Tibet through the Gondor Bridge, and it is a symbol for those who yearn for Tibet. However, crossing Ailao Mountain is the steepest in the north line of National Highway 3 17. The winding mountain road is full of yellow mud roads, which makes people completely lose the feeling of walking on the national road. Every time they get on the wrong bus, they are nervous. When they meet a big truck, especially a tanker coming slowly from the opposite side, their hearts will beat faster. It's the tacit communication and mutual accommodation between drivers in a unique language, which is really touching.

3 17 National Highway Sichuan-Tibet Line has fantastic scenery after crossing Gangtuo Jinsha River Bridge.

From Jiangda to Qamdo, Jila Mountain and Zonglaiyi Mountain, which are snowing, are not as steep as Queer Mountain. The mountains covered with green turf have a wider view, with gray clouds floating on the white clouds and a blue sky behind them.

Qamdo, the eastern gate of Tibet, is located in Hengduan Mountains and Sanjiang (Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River) basin, which means "the confluence of water" in Tibetan and is known as "the pearl of Tibet". At night, Changdu City is brightly lit, and it is a mountain city with a strong modern atmosphere.

Bi Feiyu, a contemporary writer, wrote at the beginning of the article "I read a brief history of time": I have read the book "A brief history of time" many times, but nothing has been gained. Every time I read A Brief History of Time, I feel that I am traveling, in Tibet or in Xinjiang.

So, now I'm reading A Brief History of Time. ?

Langya Mountain is the highest mountain near Changdu, Han Hong's hometown. Accompanied by Han Hong's song "Langya Mountain Love", we strolled along the Lancang River, passed the Langya Mountain Pass and looked at the Made Snow Mountain in the distance.

Made Snow Mountain, which means "Zhaling Demahuyani" in Tibetan, means that 12 sacred mountains in the world are concentrated here.

Driving fast on the Bunda grassland, I caught a glimpse of the Bunda airport with the highest altitude in the world, walked on the longest national road 3 18 in China, and crossed the Yelashan Pass, which is the famous "Nujiang 72 Turn", that is, "Sichuan-Tibet 99 Turn". U-shaped Panshan Road is steep and steep, and you can experience the miracle on China's expressways!

Finally rushed out of the Nujiang Grand Canyon, crossed the Nujiang Bridge and drove along the river. After eight magical nights, I crossed Anjulayakou, the watershed of Nujiang River and Yarlung Zangbo River, and arrived at Ranwu Lake.

There are always some places that squeeze into your eyes, but they can't get into your heart; And some places are not often mentioned, but they are immersed in the bottom of my heart. That ever-flowing stream is like a dream. If you have time, you should travel around Qian Shan.

From Ranwu Town, take provincial highway 20 1 along Palong Zangbo River.

"Ranwu" means "copper sink" in Tibetan. Ranwu Lake is located in the southwest corner of basu county in Changdu area, close to Sichuan-Tibet Highway. It is the largest lake in eastern Tibet and the main source of the Palong Zangbo River, a tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River.

Ranwu Lake is known as "the most beautiful lake in the south of the 3 18 Sichuan-Tibet line". Surrounded by mountains and swaying green shadows, Ranwu Lake is particularly quiet and charming. The mirror-like lake reflects the surrounding snow peaks, green forests and blue sky and white clouds, forming a picture scroll with the unique magnificent features of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the pastoral charm of Tibetan areas.

Laigu Glacier comes from a small Tibetan village near the glacier. Laigu village means a hidden paradise-like village in Tibetan. Laigu Glacier, adjacent to Ranwu Lake, is the largest and widest glacier known in Tibet and one of the three largest glaciers in the world. Around the glacier in Laigu Village, several glacial lakes have been formed in front of the village. Icebergs, large and small, are still floating on the glacier lake, which is really a bit like the South Pole. This is the only place on earth where you can see Lan Bing except the North Pole and the South Pole.

Leave Laigu Village in the rain and snow, return to National Highway 3 18 to Midui Glacier, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ranwu Lake again all the way.

The Midui Glacier is formed by the confluence of two world-class ice waterfalls, and there is a virgin forest between the two waterfalls, just like a huge splash-ink landscape painting. It is worthy of the reputation of "Snow Fairy" and is rated as one of the six most beautiful glaciers by chinese national geography magazine.

Arrive at Bomibowo Resort in advance and enter Tibet immediately. The colorful rainbow of joy and the golden hill of sunshine near dusk are very exciting, and the beautiful natural scenery has faded away the fatigue left along the way.

Climbing mountains and wading to the same place more than twice, it is either a willing heart or a paradise.

After a lapse of six years, I walked into Linzhi again, lamenting the passage of time and feeling that the scenery in southern Tibet remains the same.

Linzhi Tibetan means "the throne of the sun" and refers to the place where the sun rises. The first time I went to Tibet was by plane to Linzhi Airport, and the first time I felt the magic of Tibet began in Linzhi. Linzhi is a paradise.

Lulang Town in Linzhi, Tibet is a fairyland-like place, known as the "East Gate of Linzhi". Lulang, which means "Dragon King Valley" in Tibetan, is also a homesick place.

The stone pot chicken in Uncle Pingcuo's house in Zhaxigang Village leaves a pile of fine bones on the table of people who don't usually eat chicken. The rural scenery around Uncle Pincuo's family hotel is more charming.

The Tibetan language of the Sejila Mountain Pass means "drinking mountain", which is the watershed between the Yangni River Basin and the Palong Zangbo River, and the highest altitude in Linzhi. The most famous azaleas in Sejila Mountain are all over Shan Ye. They bloom in May and June, which is very spectacular.

The greatest wish to get close to Linzhi is to give up the regrets six years ago. At that time, I waited for dozens of minutes in Zhishuang Village to see the true face of Nange Bawa, and finally found a silver mountain peak like a sword tip in the fog in mid-air. If the tour guide hadn't said, "It's already very difficult!" I don't want to leave.

Because the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is deep, Nanga Bawa is so high; It is also because of the height of Nange Bawa that the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is so deep.

Nangarbawa is the most beautiful mountain in China, located at the intersection of Himalayan Mountain, Nyainqentanglha Mountain and Hengduan Mountain. It is the highest mountain in Linzhi area. It is the holy land of the oldest Buddhism in Tibet, and is known as the "father of thousands of mountains in Tibet". Namgyabawa Peak also has another name "Muzhuoba Mountain". Its huge triangular peak is covered with snow all year round and never shows its true colors easily. Therefore, it is also called "shame peak", and even the locals rarely see his true face for a year.

Suosong Village, located on the north bank of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, is the best place to see the panoramic view of Nange Bawa Peak. At four o'clock in the afternoon, I came to Suosong Village and looked straight at the clouds in the sky, expecting a miracle in the distance. Two hours passed, three hours passed, and Nange Baba was finally moved by sincerity. Slowly, the thick clouds on the whole mountain began to change wonderfully, just like a silver-clad mountain top with a sword tip. "That's her!" Everyone at the scene shouted in unison and was extremely excited. They all prayed that the dark clouds would disperse faster and the historical moment would turn slower. The sacred mountain of Nangarbawa, which shocked the soul, did not show its overall beauty until sunset. The dreamlike scenery makes people happy and can't help but shed tears of happiness.

The so-called happiness is nothing more than a perfect process from infinite expectation to realization and then to complete satisfaction.

Do you feel that things big and small in life will continue to accumulate and accumulate to this great moment? It's the feeling of this night!

"Kading" means "heaven and earth" in Tibetan, and Kading Mountain comes from here. Linzhi Kadinggou Waterfall belongs to granite canyon style. Due to the influence of the warm and humid airflow in the Indian Ocean, the mountains on both sides of the canyon are steep and undulating, and the cliffs are covered with pine trees and giant cypresses. Kadinggou Waterfall is called Tianfo Waterfall, and a giant Buddha naturally formed in the waterfall water appears and disappears from time to time. Play again, just like yesterday.

Basongcuo, also known as Cuogao Lake, which means "green water" in Tibetan, is located in the deep valley of the high gorge in the upper reaches of Bahe River, about 36 kilometers away from Bahe Town, Gongbujiangda County. It is a famous holy lake, a sacred place of red religion. The majestic snow-capped mountains, holy lakes and dense forests make Basongcuo Scenic Area enjoy the reputation of "Little Switzerland".

Milla Mountain Pass is located on National Highway 3 18 in sichuan-tibet railway. It is the last pass and the highest one on sichuan-tibet railway's road to Tibet. It snows all year round. Milla Mountain has become a sacred mountain in the eyes of Tibetans here because of its high harmony and wonder. After this pass, Lhasa is not far away.

Potala Palace Square is the tallest square in the world. Looking around, any angle is an oil-painting beauty. During the day, especially in the early morning, the feeling of quiet and peaceful is shocking, and at night you will see her slightly immature side.

Potala Palace, located on Maburi Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, is a palace-style building complex. The tallest and most magnificent palace in the world is the most important symbol of Lhasa and even Tibet.

Jokhang Temple, which means Buddha Hall in Tibetan, is located in the center of the old city of Lhasa. It is the earliest wooden structure building in Tibet and also a Tibetan Buddhist temple, which occupies the supreme position in Tibetan Buddhism. In Lhasa, Tibetans also like to call Bajiao Street dominated by Jokhang Temple "Lhasa". Standing alone at the entrance of Jokhang Temple, watching the believers push the prayer wheel or kowtow as they walk, they can't help but feel surging.

"Your love is always with me, living water moistens my heart, my life is brilliant because of you, and my sincere heart will never change ..." At the moment I left my spiritual home Lhasa, I couldn't help humming the songs I sang occasionally on weekdays.

Snow and hail are sunny, and the scenery along the line is wireless. Stepping on the Qinghai-Tibet section, the core section of National Highway 109, the spiritual journey will enter a new road. But just as we approached Nyainqentanglha Mountain, the sunny weather suddenly changed face. Incredibly, in the dazzling sunshine, hail as big as beans hit us, and soon snowflakes floated.

Driving on a road leading to the horizon, it was already snowing when Yangbajing arrived. Travel is a crazy life, which makes sense; The ultimate beauty, often on a par with death, seems right.

Namco, which means "Tianhu" in Tibetan, is one of the three famous holy lakes in Tibet. After Lop Nur dried up, it became the second largest saltwater lake in China. The highest lake in the world, like a huge mirror, is embedded in the grassland in northern Tibet.

The rainy and muddy mountain road makes me feel that the entrance to the scenic spot is so far away from Namco. I keep praying that the clouds will clear away so that I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shenhu again.

Standing on Namco Lake, the highest and most beautiful god lake in the world, is shocking, as if you were in a blue world.

If you don't do something now, you may never do it in your life.

Some people say that the Qinghai-Tibet line is "the most mysterious place except the moon" and a magical snowy road. "... I want to find that way. You led me on that road. It was sweet and bitter, muddy and foggy. I said I like traveling because of you … "No matter how bumpy it is, the blue sky is so clear, with" poetry and distance ". I just want to stay at Naqu and Tuotuo at an altitude of 4500 meters and 4600 meters for one night.

Tanggula Mountain is also called "Dangla Mountain" in Tibetan, and it means "a mountain that eagles can't fly over" in Mongolian. This is the highest highway in the world. Tanggula is the birthplace of the Yangtze River.

"Hoh Xil" means "Blue Mountains" in Mongolian. Hoh Xil, also known as no man's land in Hoh Xil, is the largest, highest and most mysterious "dead zone" in China. Qinghai-Tibet Highway and Qinghai-Tibet Railway run through the edge of Hoh Xil.

Looking around "the paradise of wild animals", the excitement arises spontaneously. Unexpectedly, in Sonandajie Nature Reserve, lovely Tibetan antelopes appear in twos and threes on both sides of the road, and a larger number of Tibetan antelopes play under the railway bridge in the distance.

The source area of Sanjiang River is the natural wetland distribution area with the highest altitude and the largest area in China, which is known as "China Water Tower" and "Plateau Wetland". Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve is the largest nature reserve in China, and it is also the area with the most concentrated biodiversity and the most sensitive ecology in the high altitude areas of the world. Historically, the source area of the Three Rivers was once a plateau grassland meadow area with a large number of wild animals, which was called the ecological "virgin land".

Kunlun Mountain Pass is a major pass on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, named after the valley pass, also known as "Kunlun Mountain Pass".

Kunlun Mountain is the symbol of the Chinese nation and the cradle of China myths and legends. The ancients called it "the ancestor of Wanshan" and "the ancestor of Long Mai", so it has the reputation of "the mother of national mountains". In Tibetan, it is called "Armani Mu Zhan Mu Song", which means Zushan.

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking back, there is infinite emotion in my heart; Think of the impermanent natural scenery and colorful humanistic customs, and deeply realize the great beauty in action.

"Qinghai is green, the Yellow River is yellow, and there is the surging Jinsha River. The snow is boundless, the mountains are grey, and I pray for a good pasture under the mountain ... "In a national folk song of Zhang Mingmin, he walked through Golmud to Dachaidan.

Dachaidan Lake, also known as Dachaidan Lake, is called Yike Chaidamu Lake in Mongolian, just like a bright emerald hidden in the depths of Dachaidan, which is breathtaking in beauty.

Feel free to walk into a grotesque wind erosion valley and be immediately shocked by the scenery in front of you! Close your eyes, turn at any angle and then open them. In front of you is a beautiful postcard, and you seem to appreciate the paintings of the ancient painter Dong Yuan. This picturesque place is the Galaxy Valley in Dachaidan.

Chaka Salt Lake, also known as Chaka or Dabsunnaoer, is one of the four major salt lakes in Qaidam Basin. "Chaka" is a Tibetan language, which means Yanchi, that is, the salt in Qinghai, and it is one of the "four great scenic spots in Qinghai". Chaka Salt Lake has an empty area, flat terrain and strong lake reflection ability. It is like a mirror for the sky, and it is China's "mirror of the sky". It was named as one of the "55 places people must visit in their life" by National Tourism Geography magazine.

Qinghai Lake is called "Cuowenbu" (meaning "blue sea") in Tibetan. Located in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai Province, it is the largest inland lake and saltwater lake in China.

Strolling along the magical "West Sea" lake and enjoying the last scenery of Sichuan-Tibet Qingda University, I was filled with thoughts and emotions. The rainbow hanging between the sky and the water, the migratory birds passing overhead, and the blue waves of passion played the strongest sound at the end of the curtain!

Every place is a fairy tale, every day is a love poem, and every trip is a symphony.

Go as you say, don't define the starting point, because it is always on the road!

Or use the contemporary writer Bi Feiyu's "A Brief History of My Reading Time" to end the full text:

I wonder how others read A Brief History of Time. I read slowly. Sometimes, I spend dozens of minutes reading a page. I know this kind of reading is impossible to gain, but it is still necessary. Difficulties will bring special pleasure. This pleasure is first of all a kind of mobilization, and you are mobilized. A person's so-called spiritual experience is also inextricably linked with reading difficulties. It is difficult for a person who has never experienced reading difficulties to get "another kind" of happiness. ?

(The picture was taken by my mobile phone all the way.)
