It was after 3 o'clock in the afternoon when we came out in the Narati Scenic Area. 3 o'clock in Xinjiang was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon when we worked and slept. It was still early, and there was really nothing to visit in Narati Town. We navigated the Internet celebrity scenic spot Ili Xinghua Valley, and looked at the videos posted by netizens. The slopes and grasslands are full of apricot blossoms all over the mountains and plains. It is beautiful. It is not far from here, only a two-hour drive. Let's go! After a dense number of speed photos along the way, when we arrived, the ticket office told us that the apricot blossoms had all withered... Thanks... We asked when they were withered, and he said: It has just been withered for two or three days, and it only blooms in one year. Just a few days. You guys came just in time to miss it either early or late. Young man, if you keep talking like this, I will take pictures of you. I'm not in the mood to compete with the cameras along the way. Are you still telling Lao Gan Ma about our wounds? It was exactly 7 o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Nalati. Although it was still very bright, I didn't have to hurry. I was afraid that the mountain would be closed at night, so I might as well get up early tomorrow and drive straight out.

Dozens of kilometers away from Nalati is the Gongnaisi Forest. Nalati belongs to Ili, and Gongnaisi belongs to Bayingolin Prefecture. Does it look like a forest in Norway? Although I have never been there, does it look like the Daxinganling Mountains in my impression? Yeah, I've never been there either.

It started from Nalati at 9 a.m., drove for 14 hours, and arrived at Ruoqiang County at 11 p.m. I passed Korla in the middle and didn't have time to take a bite of the fragrant pear. Along the way, there were yellow deserted beaches, and I occasionally saw one or two lonely dilapidated earthen houses with dilapidated buildings and broken walls. They were ruins of an ancient country that I had never heard of. There is no development because almost no one comes to such a scenic spot. The ruins of the ancient country of Loulan are about to arrive in Ruoqiang County. In order to better protect the ruins of Loulan, I heard that the ticket is 3500 yuan each. The most mysterious country in Chinese history is the ancient country of Loulan. It was a prosperous country more than 3800 years ago and suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason. The Loulan civilization and Lop Nur next to it have left the mystery in the long river of history. However, most people's impression of Loulan is the song Loulan Girl. Yes, so am I. On earth bumpkin, I am with you. When passing near Lop Nur and Loulan, yellow sand filled the sky, the barren beaches were so dry that they could sink into them with just one step on them, and the floating soil floated high. The road leads to the distance, and the desert is on both sides. We drove under such road conditions for two hours and drove into the Populus euphratica forest area. The Populus euphratica forest was all dry. Driving here in the evening gave us a feeling of withered vines, old trees, and faint crows. It was gloomy, and the evil spirits were about to emerge. Don't be afraid. The weak believe in destiny, and the strong believe in themselves. Even if there is an old demon, we still have to see if it is a male or a female. At around 11 p.m., I arrived at Ruoqiang County. Ruoqiang County is the largest county in China, larger than the entire Hebei Province! There are two of China's four largest no-man's land, Lop Nur and Altun no man's land, and the other two are Hoh Xil and Qiangtang. The specialty is red dates. The Ruoqiang red dates you often see come from here.

Next stop, leave Xinjiang!

We were so excited to see that the people of Qinghai welcomed you. After Nalati came out, we drove for two days!

Qinghai Oilfield should be in this area, right? There were a lot of bumps on the road.

At eight o'clock in the evening, we arrived at Mangya Town. There was a lake not far from the road that we didn't go to. Later, we learned that it was the famous emerald lake. Missing is just a thought, lazy people have too many thoughts. The sun was still strong at this time, and we thought about walking forward. It didn't matter if we walked this time. We rushed directly to Golmud... There wasn't even a village on the road, let alone a small town. It was already 2:30 in the morning when I arrived in Golmud, and I was so tired that I couldn't sleep when I was lying in bed.

Golmud is an important stop on the Qinghai-Tibet line, and we must start entering Tibet from here.

Maintenance completed! Let's go! Heading for the Qinghai-Tibet line! Only by yearning in your heart can you overcome the boredom and panic along the way!

Driving into the Kunlun Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, the ancestor of all mountains, many people commemorate them here.

Sanctiousness is endless, and faith is here.

On the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, we are crossing and shuttling along the way.

Jade Lake, Queen Mother of the West. It is said that every year on the third day of March, the sixth day of June, and the eighth day of August, the Queen Mother of the West specially holds a peach festival here to entertain all the gods. The gods from all the walks of life come to congratulate the Queen Mother of the West, the founder of the world. It is very lively. This is the story of the Monkey King stealing flat peaches and causing trouble in the celestial palace.

Along the way. There are snowy mountains waving to us in the distance

Jade Everest in Qinghai is opposite the Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water Plant, which is only a few kilometers away from the Western Queen Mother Yaochi

Arriving at the Kunlun Pass, where the landmark of Hoh Xil is here, we immediately drove into Hoh Xil. The altitude at the entrance of Kunlun Mountain is very high, reaching 4700 meters. We took high-anti-drug here, but it was a little late and should have taken it two days in advance. Moreover, we arrived within a few hours from an altitude of 2700 meters in Golmud. At the height of 4700 meters, my body did not adapt to it, causing high-anti-drug behind.

Two hours later, we saw Hoh Xil in the sunset! Its actual color is much better than the photos. It is clean and pure. You will occasionally see Tibetan antelopes and yaks. This is one of the most competitive nature reserves in China. When you are immersed in it, you will feel that the word "one" is a bit superfluous!

Hoh Xil, we headed west. It allowed us to let go of our distractions, and all our worries were washed away, as if our state of mind had been naturally washed away. I wish I could walk into the time machine like this and relive the chirping of birds in spring morning, the chirping of cicadas in summer, the crickets under the dew in autumn, and the tranquility of falling snow in winter. Your so-called paradise is just your childhood hometown. How should I describe it? Is it as beautiful as a painting? Is it so beautiful?

In this situation, it is very similar to the g218 we passed by, at 8 p.m., similar time period and similar vision. Although the sunset is beautiful, it always feels like the beauty of regret. The sunset is accompanied by the sunset, and the emptiness of a hundred miles around can always bring you sadness. The sunset is full of regrets. If life had begun to work hard earlier, would life be more brilliant?

Different colors of Hoh Xil

After passing through the Tibetan Antelope Protection Station and arriving at Wudaoliang accommodation, we both suffered from high altitude. I was quite serious. I had a splitting headache all night long and couldn't sleep. It was useless even after taking high altitude drugs. Oxygen inhalation and pain relief drugs were all ineffective! I don't know if it was because I didn't have a good rest after running for days, but we didn't sleep all night, so we had to get up early and drive for 5 hours back to Golmud at a lower altitude. When the regiment commander intended to survive, I refused, mainly because his oxygen was effective, but I couldn't even use it! It's so painful that I can't move, and there's no way to relieve it. There's still two days to go. Back to the hotel in Golmud, I lay down all day but couldn't sleep. After a night's rest, when we were ready to go back, we listened to the suggestions of many local people and gave up. They told us not to risk our lives to try. The disadvantage of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is that once you go up and have high altitudes, if you fail to adapt to it, you can only drive for a few hours and return to a place with a low altitude. If you walk to the middle of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and have serious high altitudes, you will have to drive for more than ten hours to return to a place with a low altitude. There are no immediate and effective first aid methods. There are no hospitals in the middle. There are only towns smaller than the village every hundreds of kilometers. The towns have oxygen and food supplies. In case of traffic jams on the road during this period, Then we resigned ourselves to fate. Traffic jams are very common for the Qinghai-Tibet line. When we returned to Golmud, we caught a big traffic jam. Fortunately, Tule could not take the usual route, and we rushed back to the low altitude in time. When we decided to give up that morning, we suddenly lost, and all our original motivation disappeared. After all these days of hard work, for what? Lhasa, just like this, I can't go? It seemed like he was disqualified before the game even started. It has nothing to do with how well prepared you are, how many difficulties you can overcome, or how determined you are. Gao Fan, we cannot solve it. The unknown Tanggula, the unknown Qiangtang, together with our exploration and hope, are over at this moment. The most difficult thing is to soothe your dissatisfaction.

Let's go home. After traveling half of China for so many days, my body is tired. But are you willing? Go to Chengdu, take the Sichuan-Tibet line, and give it a try with our only motivation!

Re-navigation, we drove quietly towards Chengdu. The whole journey is 1900 kilometers. With our efficiency, we should be able to get there in two days.

From Golmud, I took the De-Ma Expressway

When we first got on the highway, the sky was filled with yellow sand and we couldn't see the road clearly. We drove forward slowly with double flash lights. The roadside was artificially planted sand-prevention vegetation. The scale was not very large and could not completely suppress the flying sand. The altitude gradually rose, and we shuttled through the plateau and snow-capped mountains. The Dema Expressway is the most inhumane highway I have ever seen. There are no gas stations for 500 kilometers, and there is no mobile phone signal on most sections. You may not be able to see a car on the road for an hour. What if the car runs out of gas? This is not even as good as Xinjiang, which is vast and sparsely populated. In Xinjiang, you can fill up as long as you see a gas station, and you basically don't have to worry about running out of gas. Navigation found that you can get off the highway 100 kilometers ahead. There should be a gas station, right?

Huashi Gorge got off the highway, filled it up and got on again. There are many colorful prayer flags.

The scenery along the Dema Expressway is the Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve and the birthplace of the Yangtze River, Yellow River and Lancang River. There is another birthplace of the Yangtze River, Tanggula. Every river does not come from a snowy mountain. Snow is covered on the mountains, and the snow turns into streams. The streams merge into rivers, and the rivers enter the sea.

If the sun does not set, if the clear sky does not dissipate, if the river flows continuously, if the snow mountains do not change, I would like to walk to my hair and white hair like this, and use the road as my company.

Thousands of miles of mountains and snow are all over the sky, and hundreds of rivers are running without sleep. The creek still knows how to meet the rivers and seas. How can our ambition bear the passing years? Hello everyone, my name is Li Bai.

The clear skies are clear and the mountains are high and the rivers are long. After bidding farewell to Xizang, there are also different poems and distances.

I pass by the painting, and you are watching the mountains and rivers.

On the diseased section, many people who have known about the Qinghai-Tibet Highway should know that the poles on both sides of this road are called heat conduction rods. The bottom of the pole absorbs heat from the ground and then volatizes it out from the top of the pole, thereby isolating the heat transfer between the frozen soil and the road surface and ensuring The permafrost layer is stable, but this road has also been undulating and potholes, and is riddled with scars. After all, building roads in the frozen soil is a worldwide problem, and there are many on the Qinghai-Tibet line.

The river bed is like a golden carpet, and the snow is like smoke waves. Do you have a visual sense of film?

This time I saw many oxen, cattle from thousands of troops and horses coming to meet

Villages gradually began to appear. Every time you go near the village, you can get a short mobile phone signal. If you stay far away from the village, you will have to say goodbye. So every time we tell our family that we are safe, we say,"Hello? Well, we're in the mountains now... Hello? Hello? Shit!", Later, we stopped calling because it seemed that calling made the family more worried.

This is a Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. You can see temples like this in every village. The most luxurious building in the village is also a temple. The team leader told me that Tibetans are working hard to make money and donate all their savings to build temples. I heard that they are deeply respected. It is a lot of materialistic desires and how precious it is to adhere to their beliefs. The world is bustling, the world is bustling, money is like dung, and no one does not dung beetles. But is there anything wrong with money-only? Hard to say. It is difficult for us to define the black and white of human nature, just as we cannot distinguish between fog and haze in winter.

It was getting dark, and the county town where we could stay was still out of reach. After boarding the expressway from Golmud, we drove to Jiuzhi County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province in 12 hours. We had a satisfying meal of Sichuan cuisine, found a quiet inn, and slept! Driving at high speed for hours on a plateau where the surrounding environment cannot be seen clearly and no one or signal at night, it is so pleasant to meet a lit county town.

If Aba's rural roads come in July and August, they should be green. During the epidemic, 4000 acres of grassland in Aba were burned. I hope its vitality has not been damaged.

Walking on such a country road, I thought of country music country road and five hundred miles. There is always a song that can enter your heart, move the passing years, bring you into the country, and give you peace of mind.

I arrived in a small town. Because it was the off-season for tourism, there were very few people and many stores were not open.

The commander was looking for specialties for his family, but he embarked on the pace of looking for prey. The mountain top in the distance is still covered with white snow and is about to merge with the white clouds.

Does the regiment commander think that if you look at everyone through the door, he will be slimmer? Haha

When we entered this little hoe shop, there was a strong Tibetan atmosphere. The owner of the shop did not entertain us warmly and was very Buddhist. I ordered beef noodles and handmade yogurt, both from yak. The noodles should be said to be medium rare, and the yak meat was too tired to eat. While we were silently eating the noodles, the two shopkeepers kept chatting in Tibetan. Why does this scene feel so familiar? I remember it! The same feeling was when I ate instant noodles in English class when I was at school!

The county town here

Finally escaped from the plateau, it feels like Sichuan

Walking along National Highway 317 to Chengdu, the beautiful scenery along the way is like this. Green mountains, green waters, pebbles, small bridges and flowing water are close to people's homes.

When we were still about 30 kilometers away from Wenchuan, we arrived at a characteristic village scenic spot-Taoping Qiang Village. Qiang Village, as the name suggests, is inhabited by Qiang people. The entire village has been renovated and renovated on an ancient basis, retaining its unique culture and integrating it into modernity. The air here is fresh and so comfortable, so I'm staying here today.

Passing through Dujiangyan, Dujiangyan has a high forest coverage and plain greening rate. It is full of lush greenery and feels like a natural oxygen bar. It is worthy of being Chengdu's green barrier.

Although I didn't buy your beef jerky, Sister, you can't take a photo of me and close your eyes to reflect on my mistakes!

Arrive in Chengdu! Stayed here today!

The calls from our family are getting denser and denser. We stayed here for a short time and were ready to go home. Xizang, after thinking about it, we should wait until later! We have been working hard, and we are failing again. And we've been out for 20 days, which is beyond plan. Dreams must be realized hard, but they don't have to be achieved overnight.

Return!

I specially stayed at the foot of Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi Province because I wanted to get up early the next day to climb Huashan Mountain. Then Huashan said good morning to us in a moderate rain, and the cableway was closed. Forget it, let's keep on going. Our trip must be Xiao Jingteng. The background of the picture is Huashan. Huashan is climbed at night. At night, you can see winding lights from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain.

The vague outline not far away is Huashan

Fenglingdu Yellow River Bridge. Compared with the Yellow River I have seen in Jinan, Ordos, and Lanzhou, Fenglingdu is the widest section. We first met at Fengling Ferry, but Yang Guo missed him for the rest of his life. This is the place where Guo Xiang and Yang Guo met.

We are almost arriving at Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province. Do you feel the immortal spirit from this mountain and fog?

The five sacred places after the snow at the end of April should be difficult to meet.

You have to drive around Wutai Mountain the entire time. Otherwise, it will be too big and there will be a bit of traffic jam before May Day. There are monks coming to worship everywhere. Although it is highly commercialized, at least it has a true Buddhist cultural swastika compared with other small temples in the country.

After we came out and ate vegetarian food, were we much more noble than those who ate bats?

When Wutai Mountain came out, we agreed not to go anywhere, and we were eager to return! Straight to Tangshan! After a 5-hour trip, I got home safely!

Traveling here is the end. Thanks to every reader for their viewing and encouragement, I didn't expect that I could write nearly 10,000 words. When it comes to feelings, the biggest experience of this journey is that the road is too urgent, so I miss a lot of scenery when I am tired. If the photos are not collected well, it is all lazy people who get to their heads. However, the harvest was full, I witnessed the scenery, became familiar with the route, and paved the way for the next trip to Tibet. Regarding life, we always have to record it in one way. Some use videos, some use copywriting, but I don't want the memory of the journey to be so dull. Life is like a string, and journey is like an arrow. Only by letting go can we have the most beautiful light. Each of us is working hard to find meaning in life. But what is it? I think it is not the daily necessities, rice, oil and salt that you have gone through, but the fact that you are pursuing your love and still smiling.

The end of the play
