Big northwest ring road liurenxing

10 day, Douban joined hands with six complete strangers, and a brand-new adventure tour of the Great Northwest Link began.

The opportunity to choose the Northwest Link originated from accidentally seeing a documentary called Hexi Corridor in September. Looking at the magnificent rivers and mountains in the film and the ancient Dunhuang city full of mystery and standing for thousands of years, I told myself at that moment that the closing trip of 20 19 was it-the Great Northwest Ring Road!

Great Northwest Ring Road: It spans Qinghai Province and Gansu Province, and runs through Hexi Corridor, Qilian Mountain and Qaidam Basin. It is a journey intertwined with natural scenery and a long history. If there is one word to describe it, it is shock. It has a magic power, which allows people to leave their hearts and souls there. It is full of sacred beauty.

Originally, I wanted to talk about my travel list, but when I think about it, it seems to be 0. Maybe I've been confused. It was not until the moment I got off the train in Xining that I realized that the journey really began. I didn't bring anti-allergic drugs, sunscreen spray, sun hat and red skirt. . . Just a box of clothes that can help me through spring, summer, autumn and winter and a mobile phone that I can't live without. So I started this journey. As long as I set out, there is nothing I can't solve on the road!

It's a long way and I don't want to write a running account. I just recorded a few impressive moments, hoping to relive these beautiful things again after many years.

Every trip can meet some people and hear some stories. Although I can't remember which story this is, it must be the one I admire most.

A couple who slept in my lower berth on the train just retired last year, with surprisingly even and dark skin and gentle and decent conversation. The lady wore light blue jeans and tied her gray hair into a lovely ponytail. From the man's loving eyes and caring actions, it seems that although time has passed and people have become old, the love for her has never faded.

During the conversation, I learned that the purpose of their trip is to meet and ride around Qinghai Lake, which is their second stop after retirement. Before that, they had walked through the three mountains and five mountains of the motherland together in every precious holiday. Even if they had children, they did not stop watching the beautiful scenery of the world together as children.

From the time they got married, they agreed that every Sunday was family day. On this day, the whole family will get together to make jiaozi, cook jiaozi and eat jiaozi. This precious family anniversary has never changed for decades.

For them, this is the simplest daily life, and for those who listen to stories, this is probably the best interpretation of love and ceremony.

I slept all night on the train and arrived at Xining Railway Station at 2: 30 the next afternoon. After getting off the train, we met our friends who arrived in advance and went straight to Ta 'er Temple in the suburb of Xining, which took about 2-3 hours. It turns out that the half-day time we fought for here has put us ahead of the rest of the journey, so we don't have much feeling about the National Day Super Package.

The origin of Ta 'er Temple, named Ta 'er Temple, was built because of Ta 'er Temple. This is the center of Tibetan Buddhism in the northwest of China, the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Qinghai Province, and the birthplace of Master Zong Kaba, the founder of Yellow Sect. Here, I visited the three wonders of the temple, namely "heap embroidery", "mural painting" and "butter sculpture". Because many places in the temple are not allowed to take pictures, these three wonders can only be felt on the spot.

One of the scenes that impressed me the most was the pilgrimage here. Many people bow in front of the temple, and the ground in front of the temple has been polished. There is also an old man who has to be careful when he enters the door. He still bows here and immediately feels the greatness of his faith. I still remember watching the movie Gangrinpoche before, and I was shocked by their pilgrimage through the screen. After seeing it at the scene, this mood became more complicated. Maybe everyone and every nation has their own beliefs. I'm just a bystander, and I certainly hope their good wishes can come true.

On the first day of the official journey, six people who were very happy and didn't know each other were a good match, and they soon became familiar with each other after half a day. The weather was fine all the way. On the first day of stop-and-go, we went to Laji Mountain, with the highest altitude of 4 188 meters. Perhaps it is because we are still immersed in excitement and joy, and there is no obvious altitude sickness.

In the afternoon, I met the last rape field on the road near Qinghai Lake and left my sunglasses here forever.

The beauty of Qinghai Lake didn't disappoint me. I saw the green Qinghai Lake in the distance on the highway. After I walked in, it was even more beautiful. When I arrived, there was hardly anyone by the lake. 10 At first, Qinghai Lake was a little cold, so it took some courage to go into the water barefoot. 50 yuan, a business booth by the lake, braided it, rented a red skirt and took a photo. For the first time, I knew that the original reflection was shot with mirror props, and the finished product was made.

On this day, I drank butter tea and ate many delicious foods, such as Ciba, yogurt, Naan, saute spicy chicken, etc., especially the Naan with various nuts attached to it in Xining, which has always made me unforgettable.

Because I forgot the time to take pictures and eat on the way, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at Chaka Salt Lake. At the door, I heard the familiar scenery music. My fellow master complained that the music hasn't changed for ten years, which is a bit cute. There are many people at this station. Maybe everyone is here. Fortunately, the northwest is one hour later than the inland, so I took a small train into Chaka Salt Lake in the last sun. What can I say? The water here seems to be not as clear as Qinghai Lake, nor as green as Emerald Lake, which is really far from the imaginary mirror of the sky. People get into the water and step barefoot on the salt lake, but they still feel like giving up. Finally, a sunset cloud let me down a little.

Yuhu Lake and Chaka are both salt lakes, which may be due to the weather, time and mood. In a word, I saw the real mirror of the sky here. Even if the white shoes accidentally fall into the mud here, it still can't stop me from sighing: Yuhu Lake is so beautiful!

When I arrived in Dunhuang, I felt as if I had completed an important milestone in my life.

The city of Dunhuang has always been sacred and mysterious in my little memory of historical knowledge. There are Mogao Grottoes, murals, sculptures, beliefs, and countless historical treasures, which have left countless stories in thousands of years of sandstorms. Since then, here is another story of my own.

If you go to the Mogao Grottoes, please remember to buy tickets in advance. Tickets are divided into Grade A and Grade B. Grade A can visit more caves, but it is not necessary without good background knowledge. B-class tickets can only be purchased online within 30 kilometers of Fiona Fang, Dunhuang. There are too many people living in caves during the holidays, so it takes no more than 5 minutes to walk around each cave. So when you come out, you must remember to visit the imitation grottoes in the exhibition hall of Mogao Grottoes and listen to the content of the murals explained by the instructors. Trust me, you will be shocked.

I saw the crescent spring at night and in the morning, perhaps because of the weather, but I didn't feel the beauty of the crescent spring. This is a small pond, and my knowledge is limited. Sadly, my friend's mobile phone has also been left in this desert forever.

This is the only place I have been on this trip, and I want to go again.

20 19 coincides with the 70th birthday of the motherland. This year's Beijing military parade is extremely wonderful. I watched the live broadcast on the way to the northwest. After arriving at colorful Danxia in Zhangye, I saw the magnificent and colorful Danxia landform, accompanied by the background music of Dream of Hexi Corridor, and I only felt tears at that moment. How can I not love the beautiful rivers and mountains?

Very, very, very surprised. On the way back from the ring road, we risked being trapped in the mountains. We chose this winding Panshan highway, where we can see the snow in Qilian Mountain. When we saw the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the highway, the yak running unhurriedly by the roadside and the towering peaks in the distance, I knew that my screams would resound through all the valleys of Qilian Mountain. Responding to the snow is the pure and beautiful life of people on the distant grassland. I've been thinking all the way, and I'm envious at the moment.

What you see along the northwest is vast and magnificent, and every day of the journey is sighing. I am very lucky. At my best age, I have experienced one journey after another, seen one beauty after another, met one traveler after another and heard one story after another. However, beauty is always so short. When you feel it, it is also the moment when it disappears. After all, after we spend all the money in our pockets, we will go back to real life and start working day after day, leading a boring and monotonous life and continuing to save money for the next trip. But, so what? All this can only become two words, willingly.

Stranger, I look forward to seeing you on my next trip.

20 19 national day seems to pass faster than before, as if the holiday has not really arrived, but it is over, and my childish frolic trip these days is over, which is really hard to remember.
