Why do some people say that every Chinese has a Tibetan dream?

Tibet is indeed a mysterious and beautiful place. Friends who have never been to Tibet yearn for its blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and temples. Once you have really been to Tibet, you will be deeply addicted. I want to go there for the second time, and after the second time I want to go there for the third time...

I entered Tibet for the first time in 2012, and that was also my honeymoon trip with my wife. , we did not choose a comfortable island, but went to Tibet thousands of miles away. The first time I went to Tibet, I suffered from altitude sickness. I started to have a headache every morning when I woke up. The pain lasted until I went to bed at night, and I couldn’t even take painkillers. It didn’t play a big role, but the scenery along the way really amazed us. Living in the plains, we had no chance to see such majestic snow-capped mountains, such clean lakes and such mysterious temples. Everything was so shocking. So magical. We started climbing the mountain at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters just to see the beauty of the Milk Sea and the Five Colored Sea. We walked through the Tongmai Tianxuan just to complete the dream of entering Tibet. We climbed over the 5,000-meter-high pass just to stand on Feel the majesty of the Potala Palace at your feet.

Since our first trip to Tibet, we started planning our second trip to Tibet. In order to better adapt to the conditions at high altitudes, I think we should exercise and lose weight. Three years later, we went there for the second time. The second time I set foot on this mysterious plateau, without suffering the torture of high altitude sickness, everything was so relaxed and comfortable. We are still planning our third trip to Tibet, and are preparing to drive to Xinjiang and walk the legendary Xinjiang-Tibet Line.

Everyone has a Tibetan dream in their hearts, and everyone’s Tibetan dream is different. I like Tibet, the snow-capped mountains here, the lakes here, the devout Tibetans, and even more like standing in the The feeling of looking up at the sky from the top of a mountain.

I will regularly share travel information and my experiences during the trip with you

Tibet is a place in my heart A mysterious place that is just out of reach. Faced with the legends of the people and the fear of high altitude sickness, I, a former patient with cerebral infarction and a hypertensive patient who has been taking antihypertensive drugs all year round, lost my left leg and it became inconvenient and I needed to use it. A Level 3 disabled person with crutches, born in 1951, I thought about whether I could go to Tibet to see the Potala Palace. After thinking for a long time, I decided to experience a trip to Lhasa, unveil the mystery, and try out the high-reaction feeling. Before going to Lhasa, I did a warm-up and traveled to Kunming, Cangshan Mountain in Dali, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang. There was no reaction at a high mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. I felt normal. On April 16 this year, I decided to travel to Tibet alone. I first took a train from Shanghai to Xining and visited the beautiful Qinghai Lake at an altitude of 3,200 meters, the Pagoda Temple, and the Laji Mountain at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters. Then I took the train to Lhasa on the 20th and got off the train. When I walked out of the station, I felt normal. It was okay to take the bus. After getting off the bus, I walked for a while with my trolley suitcase. I felt a little breathless, as if I couldn't breathe. I stood for a while and it was fine. I had it 2 or 3 times on the way to the hotel. In this case, I guess it's a high reaction. When I got to the hotel, I washed my face, drank some water, and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and felt relatively normal, so I went to visit the Potala Palace and started my real trip to Tibet. I went to many places during my trip to Tibet. I was very happy and left a deep impression.

The world is so big, I want to see it!

To be honest, several friends had agreed to go to Tibet a long time ago, but they were unable to make the trip due to my father's sudden illness.

After several more years, I finally decided to go to Tibet at the end of 2012, so I prepared...

I get up at 5:30 every morning and go climb me There is a hill about 500m above sea level next to the city where I live. The wind, rain, lightning and thunder never stop, all for the dream in my heart - traveling to Tibet.

Prepare Rhodiola rosea (soak in water and drink it one month before departure), anti-inflammatory medicine, gauze, violet syrup, cold medicine, sewing kit, cold-proof clothes, sunglasses, engineer shovel, canned lunch meat, canned braised pork, etc. Prepare everything one by one (can also be used for self-defense). And went to the household registration police station to apply for a border permit.

In mid-August, when it was the hottest time, a few of the seven or eight friends I had originally made an appointment with called and said they couldn’t go. What the hell! If you don’t want to go to Tibet to ride our bicycles, you have to go to Tibet and have a look!

The next day, a group of four people set off on time, heading towards the holy place in my heart...

Arriving in Chengdu a few hours later, we were greeted by friends, served with hot pot, and had a great meal...

On the third day, we continued towards our goal, passing through Ya'an, Xindu Bridge, and passing through the Erlang Mountain Tunnel. , the journey went smoothly, and we stayed in Luding County in the evening.

After breakfast on the fourth day, we walked to Luding Bridge and relived the great feat of the Red Army overcoming difficulties and obstacles to capture Luding Bridge in one fell swoop.

Continuing forward, the altitude is getting higher and higher, and the oxygen is getting thinner and thinner. Finally, we reach the first Zheduo Mountain Pass at an altitude of 4000M. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, and colorful prayer flags are fluttering...continue to climb. After several 4000M mountains, we arrived very late at Litang, the highest county in the world. Eat, wash and rest.

We continued to move forward towards the set goal and continued to climb the desolate and dangerous mountains. The temperature dropped sharply and the chill was so severe that we immediately put on our down jackets... After more than ten hours, we arrived at our destination Batang in the evening. The hotel was already there. It was full, so I had to look for another place. Fortunately, I stayed there under the guidance of a kind-hearted Tibetan fellow. It was said to be a hotel, but compared to the mainland, the price was indeed hotel standard.

(It’s late, I want to hear about my wonderful experiences along the way and share them with you later)

Tibet is the last pure land on the plateau in our country, and it is also the place that everyone yearns for and dreams of. I think every Chinese person dreams of going to Tibet. That is because Tibet’s high altitude makes many people intimidated by the idea of ??going there, so they are particularly yearning for it. In fact, high altitude sickness is not terrible. As long as you don’t catch a cold or do strenuous exercise, most people will be fine. Nowadays, there are more wetlands, more trees and grass, and it feels like there is more oxygen. I have been to Tibet three times for work many years ago, and the longest time I spent in Lhasa was three months. At that time, the road conditions were poor and the overall ecological environment was not so good. At first, I felt a little overwhelmed, and I was only focused on working, and I did not expect to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was only after I went with a tour group that I truly appreciated the beauty of Tibet. The main scenery in Tibet is to see various lakes (meaning lakes) and Buddhist culture. Her beauty is natural and simple.

I have a strong Tibetan dream! In 2015, we went on a self-driving bicycle tour, four people per car, starting from Shijiazhuang and entering on the Chengdu 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line. The journey was scenic, bumpy, rock-falling, and landslide-prone. That was due to the fact that there was no tunnel built in the Tongmai Natural Barrier. When we passed, the armed police commanded a unilateral Release. I am very excited when I occasionally see license plates in Shijiazhuang, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Dadu River, Lancang River... Ranwu Lake, various passes, high altitude, slight ear congestion and headache, Liuli Kangding, Xindu Bridge, Namtso, Lhasa's Ba Kuo Street, after a few years, I still miss it in my heart. It all originated from a book, Baby Anne's Lotus. There was no highway in Medog at that time, so I didn't go there. It's a pity! In the past few days, I have been reading the book "Days on the Clouds". It is Su San's travels in Tibet for more than a month. I have come up with the idea of ??going to Tibet again. There are snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, simple Tibetan people, and Tibetan-style architecture. Tibetan antelopes, wild donkeys, and the endless desolate stretch of the Qinghai-Tibet line are all calling me! I started to make a strategy. This year I completed the trip to the northeast of Hulunbuir Prairie. Next year I will go to Tibet in my heart, Lhasa. I also want to go in through the Sichuan-Tibet line and out through the Yunnan-Tibet line. Or take the train to Lhasa. In short, I want to go again!

The first time I thought about going to Tibet was when I liked Sa Dingding. I was in junior high school. Later, the idea gradually disappeared. When the idea became stronger again, I was in college, because the places I had been to were relatively I became more courageous, so I bought a ticket at the end of March. When I arrived, I felt amazing at first sight. However, it was my first time and I was not very well prepared. I only went to places such as Namtso Yanghu Yajiang and it was said to purify the soul. I can't reach this level, but I still feel very proud to be standing on the roof of the world. I stayed in the plains for a long time. When I first arrived on the plateau, I still feel that the scenery here is great. No matter where I go, any mountain or cloud is the scenery. I regret that I only brought it with me. Mobile phones do not record the most authentic Tibet, and Tibet is definitely not a place that can be visited only once. Tibet is like a drug that is difficult to quit once you are exposed to it

Tibet has always been a distant and mysterious existence in the minds of Chinese people. Make countless people flock to it.

1. Tibet is vast and sparsely populated. There are only 3.3 million people in 1.2 million square kilometers of land, which is less than a medium-sized prefecture-level city in the mainland. The population density is less than 2 people per kilometer. Therefore, the vast majority of Chinese people know very little about Tibet, which adds to its sense of mystery.

2. Tibet’s natural scenery is stunning and unique. Tibet is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of 3,000-4,000 meters. The air is thin and it has a typical plateau climate. The high altitude has created a large number of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. Except for the lower-altitude southern Tibet, most areas are inaccessible to the humid monsoon. Coupled with tens of millions of years of geological changes and no pollution, the sky in Tibet is extremely transparent, extremely blue, and the white clouds are like cotton. sugar. There are steep mountain canyons on the ground, as well as endless no-man's land.

3. In addition to the stunning natural scenery, the unique Tibetan culture is also a highlight that attracts Chinese people. Unique Tibetan-style buildings, temples, monks, prayer flags, etc. add a touch of brightness to Tibet, which is located on the plateau.

4. Tibet is located in the western border of my country, far away from China’s economic center and is in a remote location. In addition to air transportation, there is currently only one railway in Tibet, and it takes one day to enter Tibet by train. Road transportation is affected by the altitude, terrain and geology. It takes several days to enter Tibet, which is not convenient and is a great test for the human body. The remote location and inconvenient transportation only add to its mystery.

5. The attraction of mysterious things to people is innate. Among people who go to Tibet, some are eager to understand Tibet, some are eager to see Tibet’s natural and cultural scenery with their own eyes, and some are eager to see Tibet’s natural and cultural scenery with their own eyes. Many people are eager to experience the hardships on the road to Tibet and challenge themselves.

Tibet is a very unique place in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that every Chinese has a Tibetan dream.

The nature of my work requires me to travel all over the country. I have not had the chance to go to Tibet for four years. It was not until last week that I went to Lhasa and Shigatse.

I think there are two reasons for saying it is a Tibetan dream:

1. Tibet is too far away and it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to go there. This opportunity requires two factors: time and money. . There are very few direct routes to Lhasa, and there are only 11 cities in China that can be reached directly. Even flying from Chongqing takes three hours, and taking a train takes days to get there. The more I can't go, the more I worry about it, the more I fantasize about it, the more I miss it. Over time, Tibet becomes a dream.

2. Tibet is so clean that people cannot bear to be defiled. It is like there is a place in everyone's heart, a very clean place, reserved for the truest self. It is better to say that it is a Tibetan dream than a dream of purity. Everyone wants to live simply and cleanly, but... in the big dye vat of society, this can only be a dream!

How many people are still dreaming about Tibet?

The Chinese people’s dream of Tibet did not come for no reason.

When people think of Tibet, they will think of Lhasa and the Potala Palace. There are many historical story backgrounds here. In the past, we knew in textbooks that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a princess and her relatives married into Tibet. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Tubo referred to Tibet. The Potala Palace was originally built by Zampu Gampo of the Tubo Dynasty to marry Princess Chizun and Princess Li. Princess ** brought seeds, farming and textile technology, culture, technology, etc., which gave Tibet, this barbaric land, a good cultural baptism. Tibet has also maintained close ties with the Chinese nation to this day.

The legend of the Potala Palace is very vivid. It is said that there are many priceless treasures in the garbage dumped from the Potala Palace. This great building that is both a palace and a temple is fascinating, as is the history of Tibet. You can take another look at the back of the 50 yuan note on the fifth set of RMB banknotes in 1999.

The geographical environment of Tibet is very different from that of inland areas. The plateau climate is affected by the Indian Ocean monsoon and changes in crustal movement. There is Mount Everest with an altitude of 8848 meters. Under the influence of snow mountains and The water surface area accounts for 45% of China's lake water surface area, with more than 1,500 large and small lakes and vast forests. How can one not be moved by such a wonderful holy place?

Compared with the bland scenery and environment of the inland areas, Tibet’s sky, land and water sources are all pollution-free. The forests are primitive, the canyons are mysterious, and the Himalayan snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all year round. It would be more enjoyable to travel with more than ten hours of sunshine every day, and the temperature is low. If you are afraid of the cold, it is recommended to travel from April to September every year, because the other months are basically called winter.

Although there are many lakes in Tibet, Tibetans do not eat fish because there is a custom of water burial in some areas. Students who travel also need to pay attention to this taboo.

"Poem of the Ten Commandments" It is best not to meet each other, so as not to fall in love. Some students probably still remember it in their hearts.

I am a relatively absurd person. When my mother was here, I would sometimes be funny and amusing. My mother always said that I was the absurd prince in the TV series "The Ridiculous Prince". When I saw people on Douyin talking about cycling and hiking in Tibet, I impulsively bought bicycles and equipment to prepare for a leisurely trip. I also prepared oil stamps and stamps, saying that I was planning to return to the postman, but sometimes I felt that the conditions were not good enough. I just want to speak slowly in support. When I was planning to ride from Huizhou, Guangdong to Jinjiang, Fujian, I threw away the bike in Puning City after riding more than 500 kilometers for half of it. It turned out that riding a 200-kilometer journey in two days was fine, but I didn't expect that this time I would encounter real difficulties. Maybe I'm too cowardly, too weak and incompetent. I set up the tent and went to sleep without considering the weather changes. God knows where the violent storm came from in the middle of the night and I was drenched to death. The whole body was damaged. The bicycle could not stand in the wind. The trip was cleaned. I held the tent with both hands to prevent the wind from blowing. The tent was blown into a ball, and the mobile phone charger was hidden in his underwear to avoid disaster. God gave me a small test and I was completely defeated. From then on, I gave up the idea of ??traveling on a budget. A few days ago, I was preaching in a Q&A that traveling on a budget only requires courage, but I didn’t blow my mind. Everyone knows that the word "牛" when turned over is the word "SHENG". I wrote Q&A every day and I lost my voice for almost half a month.

Although I don’t dare to think too much about it for the time being, traveling to Tibet is still my dream place.

Tibet’s beautiful snow-capped mountains, canyons, and beautiful lamasery. Blue sky, white clouds and sunshine. Clear lake water and fish, Gobi, bare rocks and glaciers.

We went all the way to Tibet with the devout believers, kowtowing to the ground. This is a sacred place where the rotor spins out a peaceful, healthy and happy life. It is also a magical power that attracts people who live busy and tense lives in inland cities facing the hustle and bustle of the city. Let’s go to Tibet and Lhasa together. Our hope is not only the stars and the sea, but also the place closest to heaven.
