# Traveling alone in the desert #

? Incredibly, I was almost 40 years old when I first traveled alone. When I was young, I was not sensible and didn't cherish it. There seems to be plenty of time. After giving birth to a baby, my heart is full of children; People will wake up in middle age: happiness is the most important thing for me. The idea of going alone is getting stronger and stronger.

So when the children go to summer camp, the desert seems to call me in the distance.

In my impression, the desert has always been a mysterious and daunting place, and its warmth and cold seem to tear people apart.

Sanmao came to the Sahara desert half a century ago, holding a pillow full of dollars given by her father to her wandering daughter like "homesickness in her last life". I have a pillow, too, but I don't have any dollars. I just want my cervical spine to be comfortable.

Going to the desert is not as difficult as you think. Just ask a trusted donkey friend. Although the decision was made two days before departure, as long as it is decided, every minute will be enriched. Buy a plane ticket, write a list, make an eye mask, put a pillow in your backpack, and then grab a pair of desert hiking shoes on the way to the airport. Perfect!

But it turns out that when you go to a place like the desert, you can also prepare some bright red dresses or anything floating. ...

What does your courage come from? Don't talk about dreams and consciousness, even the weather (chaos fever) in the magic capital has been pushed! Please look at the dumbfounded climate comparison map at that time.

The other half is convenient electronic consumption: the mobile phone is in hand, and everything is needed-it only takes a few minutes to book a plane, get a boarding pass and book an airport bus. Exaggerated, in the electronic age, many things can be done almost without touching people, which greatly improves the safety index of women traveling alone. Moreover, without the bondage of cash, the psychology of luggage doubles.

Of course, there were accidents. When I got to the bus, it was just full, and I watched it leave me. It seems that the sweat brought by Shanghai hasn't dried out yet, and the hot sunset in Yinchuan has been baked----I remember that I specially chose a window seat to watch the sunset, and it was already 8 o'clock.

Where were we? Oh, by the way, the ticket inspector of the next train said it might take a few minutes or half an hour to leave. This answer is also drunk. ...

? However, when I saw the picture, my mood immediately brightened up. Later, the bus really came soon.

There are still many advantages to traveling alone. You don't have to discuss with others repeatedly, and you don't have to accommodate others. You have to study each process by yourself, refuel yourself, practice one machine at a time, and even reach a place 2000 kilometers away without communicating with others. In addition, when you meet interesting people on the trip, you can strike up a conversation at will, without worrying about the eyes of some people, haha.

After getting off the airport bus, it is only 2 kilometers away from the hotel, and there are familiar blue bicycles on the road. Haha, seems to be home again? But Didi Express is also very convenient. Starting price 7 yuan? The impression of Yinchuan is an oasis beside the desert, which is convenient for a small city.

I took a good bath at night and will enter the desert tomorrow. There is no fragrant bath.

Mark: The hotel even has a bedside reading lamp. (this is great) read quietly at night, write some travel notes, and turn off the lights ~

The next morning, 2/kloc-0 people from all corners of the country, such as donkey friends, team leaders and supply trucks, set off from Yinchuan and headed for Inner Mongolia along the Helan Mountain stretching for thousands of miles.

Through Alashan League, the vast yellow desert began to gradually enter the field of vision. At first, I thought it was the Yellow River water, which has no end like the sea, but it is actually a desert.

Horses, camels and cows are scattered on the hillside and roadside. It was fun.

Hundreds of kilometers of loess are dotted with green grass bags, which are said to be grass seeds scattered in the air to prevent desertification, and some plants are seabuckthorn, which are specially eaten by horses. Summer is the season for horses to gain weight. No wonder there are so many horses.

Along the way, I saw a stone mound on the yellow mound, which looked like a U-shaped neck chain from a distance, with gems embedded in the middle. Alas, this metaphor is also strange.

After driving for 2.5 hours from the city, I finally set foot on a real desert area with a depth of more than 200 kilometers and began to get excited!

I was lucky on the first day of hiking. It's cool and cloudy, and I'm full of physical strength. I walked in the desert for 5 hours 14 km, which is equivalent to 1.5- 1.8 times that of the flat land, which is about 22 km. As a reward, there is a Daning summer melon to eat. Is it?

You are the most beautiful melon in this desert!

You are the most beautiful Batulu in the desert!

I saw many beautiful lizards on the road, and there were even swallows in the camp ~

? (mother kangaroo's lizard)?

There is also the national key "Wheat Straw Project": Tian Zige's wheat straw locked water and solidified soil several years ago, and Haloxylon ammodendron seedlings grew in the middle of the next few years. At this point, the wheat straw that completed the mission has been withered and retired.

The next night, we ate fresh roast mutton and mutton soup at the herdsmen's place in the camp. This soup is fragrant and delicious. Although all the dishes here have garlic and onion flavors, the good meat is tolerable and energetic enough! Enough to satisfy!

When we set up the tent, we found a red sun in the west, which dyed the whole sky blood red. We are very excited because it is cloudy today. The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen. It's really hard to see the artistic conception in the poem! I'm sighing that those two teenagers picked up their cameras and went west first. I immediately understood their intentions, but some people said they couldn't see them today. It's too far. I went to the roof as soon as my mind turned? Mongolian yurts, they said no. ...

Watching the two young men start running, I decided to gamble and catch up! I jumped over two or three sand slopes in despair and found countless slopes behind me. This is really dumbfounded. I run step by step, and my physical energy consumption is several times that of running on the flat ground. I tried my best. I'll take a good look here. I think I'm just running and holding my cell phone to shoot the delay. Crazy ~ beautiful, so I'm afraid of losing it. At the third highest hill, I still can't see her salty yolk-like face, but it's already very shocking.

? People who have never been to the desert may not understand, and I can't tell. Perhaps that endless curve has two extremes: the front is hot and bright, and the back is mysterious and cold. There is a somatosensory span of 15-40 degrees throughout the day.

? With the last glimmer of hope, I walked high with a camera in my hand. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and I can only hear my own gasps and stumble. Feeling unable to stand in the wind, I settled down near the high point. At this time, I took a time-lapse photo. Wow, it's beautiful. It's worth raising your hand to swell! At this time, I turned around and saw sporadic travelers at the other end of the spine. I was among the first group with those young people, and I'm proud that I didn't miss what I wanted. I remembered a sentence: I hope we will always be young and always have tears in our eyes.

After a while, it was cold, but I was reluctant to leave. Please ask my eldest brother, who was also filming at that time, to take a picture for me. When I saw this photo, I liked it very much. It retains the moment when a person enjoys the beautiful nature and the state of mind of embracing himself at that time.

? I asked eldest brother, what is the wind force in this desert? I said level six and he said level three, which became a mystery.

He had a cigarette and left. The night is dim, there is no sound around, only the human voice 1 km away, and the desert wind is whistling in my ear. I'm glad that I put myself here to feel a different world at the moment. The friends of Shanghai Magic Capital can be safe and sound at a high temperature of 40 degrees. Come and feel it next time.

Eggs: Two boxes of fireworks were set off in the evening. It's really a gift package for city people, and you can only see it during the National Day! The flowers overhead feel nothing but the plot of thirty.

As for the stars in the desert, they are as bright as big carats of diamonds, and the Milky Way appeared in 10 early ... These beautiful cameras are hard to carry around. Travel is four-dimensional and has five senses. How does cutting-edge technology capture the breathing soul in that time and space?

The hardships of the desert are no less than its beauty. Sweat stained with fine sand, where are the old dreams going? ? The memory of camping is the crackling wind and coolness of the whole night, which is too quiet, so it seems too noisy: some people say that there are probably cows passing by in the middle of the night, while others say that they feel someone driving? Some people say that snoring is everywhere. ...

Haha, this is desert hiking, asking for it, holding it all in your arms.

Good, bad, maybe only once in my life, and I won't come again. How many "goodbye" don't goodbye?

# Ps #

There is no signal in most parts of the desert, so most of the travel notes are compiled when the plane is late and after returning home.

Writing, also a second trip,

Stop and know what you've been through.

As an old psychologist said:

Emotions can only be fully understood after passing.

For example, the smallness of people, the purity of friendship, such as goodbye and farewell, memory and eternity.

Some beauty, you can't shoot it yourself, most of it is taken behind others' backs, or captured in the dark early in the morning; They are your second pair of eyes.

Similarly, when I see my photos taken in other people's circle of friends, it is also a time of friendship when I smile ~ so I will mark who gave beauty, and people will inevitably separate. The person who freezes the eternal moment deserves a name.

(Thanks to the interesting soul for helping me shoot the skirt) (Thanks to Enoch for lending me the red skirt)

Guizhou donkey friends took me to visit Huaiyuan night market in Yinchuan, which was delicious. Help me out of the wall.

Finally, I would like to thank the team leader and soldier for taking a photo at 123 like military training, and asked him a lot of desert knowledge, which ensured safety all the way and was very reassuring.

Thanks to the ingenuity of hikers and hikers, they spontaneously took countless hours of shooting and video editing, giving you a precious 8-minute "Tianjingsha?" Tengger singer # video, leaving a three-dimensional and complete aftertaste.
