What kind of holy land is Tibet?

Is there a word that can describe Tibet in your heart? Some people may describe Tibet like this: the place closest to the sky, the roof of the world, the city of sunshine, mysterious, pure and the land of dreams ... but others will describe Tibet like this: hard, rebellious, thrilling and exciting ... amazing. ......

Chen Kun once led a dozen people into Tibet on foot for eleven days, and the whole journey was forbidden. The hardships are beyond ordinary people's imagination. Compared with the suffering between body and mind, 10 can be easily overcome without bathing for more than 0 days.

Chen Kun once said that a trip to Tibet made him grow from a lonely, self-abased, arrogant and suspicious boy to a simple man full of positive energy. This is an ordinary road, but a force that cannot be ignored has emerged, forging an extraordinary life!

Jiang, the goddess of teaching and an award-winning photographer of National Geographic, went deep into Medog, Tibet, to shoot "Seventy-seven Days", depicting the soul of a photographer who lost his legs on foot but had no regrets.

Many people will wonder why it is so hard to go to Tibet even if you lose your legs! If one day you are tired of staying up late and working overtime, and want to liberate your soul, maybe you will not hesitate to pack your bags and set foot on the mysterious and inaccessible land at an altitude of 5000 meters, just for the majestic snow-capped mountains, clear lakes, desert plains and free wild animals. ......

Almost everyone has a Tibetan complex in their hearts. They fantasize about witnessing the scenes of Gesanghua with their own eyes, living a simple life in Tibetan families, and dreaming that they climbed the snow-capped mountains, climbed the cliffs, crossed the dense forests and reached the end of their dreams.

Everyone who loves to travel has a Tibetan dream, and everyone who loves Tibet must have a Medog dream. Whether tracking an old donkey outdoors, a rookie who just entered the Jianghu, a petty bourgeoisie girl holding Zhang Xiaoxian in a coffee shop, or a "rogue tycoon" driving an off-road vehicle in the city, as long as he heard the legend of Medog, he would be "poisoned" by Medog.

Now that the dream has arrived, why continue to dream? Although you will encounter unpredictable hardships in a comfortable life, how can you feel the real Medog Wonderland without the baptism of wind and rain?

Like Loulan Lop Nur, Medog was once a mysterious place, an isolated place. Medog, once the only county in China with no access to highways, was once the last county in China with access to highways. Medog is known as "a world hidden in clouds, snow-capped mountains and dense forests". On foot, Medog must climb snow-capped mountains, climb cliffs and wear dense forests, travel long distances and measure with his own feet step by step.

The road to this paradise-like beautiful place is like purgatory, steep mountain walls, turbulent rivers in deep valleys, snow in mountain passes in winter and summer, unexpected avalanches, showers and flying rocks. ......

Walking on the road to Medog is dangerous, and in some places, you can only cross your legs. The hard road to Medog has swallowed many lives since ancient times. Crossing the alternative tropical rain forest surrounded by snow-capped mountains is full of excitement, but it is also full of danger. How to make a fire and cook in the rainforest, how to find wild ingredients, how to choose a camp, how to prevent blood-sucking poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and how to identify the direction. ......

When crossing the snow-capped mountains, you will often encounter snowstorms and hail, which will bury the road ahead, make people get lost easily and greatly increase the risk factor. Fear and cold may kill people; But the expectation will rekindle the heart of walking.

Many people say that without the experience of crossing Medog, you will never know how good you are, and you will never understand the tenacity after the collapse and the persistence after despair. Life should not only be comfortable, but also have such a thrilling experience of "pain and happiness"!

Medog's journey is full of "thorns" that hinder progress. Just like a delicate rose, you can't take it lightly. As the saying goes, "If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your tools first", so before you go to Medog, you need very sophisticated equipment to cope with the severe test you will face.

First of all, whether you enter the Medog area of the Grand Canyon in the rainy season or not, a coat with excellent rainproof performance is one of the essential equipment, and underwear with good perspiration performance is also very useful. Secondly, Medog has very high requirements for shoes on foot. Improper shoes can have a serious impact. A pair of well-fitting, waterproof and breathable hiking shoes can take you across the mountains and rivers of Medog.

It takes at least 4 days to walk from Paixiang to Medog, and the average daily walking time is 10 to 12 hours. Appropriate and advanced equipment plays a vital role in hiking.

Let's go, reach the pure holy land that you yearn for infinitely, and overlook this snowy plateau that you miss very much.
