The reason why Tibet attracts a large number of foreign tourists is undoubtedly because of the unique charm of Tibet. There is a world-renowned sacred mountain and holy lake. There is also the unique local customs there. On the way to Tibet, we saw unforgettable beautiful scenery, but what made me more interested was the local customs. I think that is the true charm of Tibet. We drove to a small town called Payang Town and stayed here at night. Payang is a prairie town with a western flavor. The streets are full of clean dust. The town is loosely lined with neatly arranged houses. The Tibetan residents who go between the alleys are also very resident in their clothes. Now the Tibetan compatriots are very Chinese in their dress. In 2005, I saw Tibetan women in Payang town wearing very primitive Tibetan robes. There is also a large pasture outside the town. Cows and sheep swim among the green grasslands and snow-capped mountains, creating a picturesque pastoral scenery. They live in an environment surrounded by mountains and lakes. Seeing them wandering around the town freely, I feel that they are carefree. Payang Town is not very big. The square in the center of the town is an important meeting and exchange place for the whole town. There are often many Tibetans hanging out here, and children running around chasing and playing. Many unique pictures of people can be taken here. . A lot of people walked around here, as if they were celebrating a festival. There was a temple beside the square, and there was a prayer wheel beside the temple. The elderly Tibetan compatriots were walking with rosary beads in their hands and silently chanting Tibetan. After the war, his face showed a very pious look, turning around the prayer wheel round and round. They were wearing shabby Tibetan robes, their faces were dark and red, with sunburn on their faces, typical plateau red. I’m better at capturing the moments when they are soaring. Women’s heads are wrapped tightly with scarves, and they can’t take facial expressions at all. I guess they are tanning. The little girl in the town did not have a scarf on her face, her face was really dark, but she looked very cute! I distributed a pound of candy I bought to the local children, and one by one stretched out the little black hands to ask me for the candy. I was very proud and happy to watch them chewing the candy I bought in their little mouths. I took a lot of pictures of them. There are many tents set up in the town, and there are many dazzling products in them. It is said that they are Danba Tibetans from Sichuan, who specialize in business. The women are all dressed up very beautifully, especially their headwear is decorated with a lot of colorful accessories, and the braids are also very long, thick and very dark. We visited the families of the richest Tibetan compatriots in the area. Their family owned several shops, and the host seemed to be someone who had met the world. He was a soldier and spoke Mandarin very well. His home is very large, spacious and bright. The room is full of Tibetan furniture, which seems to be one of the richest families in the area. In the evening, the Tibetan driver King Ali invited us to eat raw beef. He went to the village and bought a catty and a half of red raw beef. He personally cooked and cut it into pieces. After peeling the garlic, he told us that it would be raw beef together. Eat, and tell us: This raw beef was not killed today, it was killed yesterday, so it is soulless beef. Hearing these words, I laughed to death. It turns out that Tibetan compatriots are still very particular about eating meat, and they can still have something to do with religion. Many people are afraid to eat the bloody beef. King Ali ate it on his own regardless of the three-seven-two-one. I thought to myself that since I came, I might as well give it a try. I ate three pieces of raw beef and felt that the original raw beef tastes very delicious. Tibetan driver Ali Wang Talking about the Tibetan driver Ali Wang King Ali (nickname) is a legendary figure. He is in his forties and looks very burly, with a typical image of a Tibetan man. I feel that his way of thinking has the way of thinking of Han people. Because he is extremely religious. In many ways, he strictly enforced it in accordance with the patriarchal concept. For example, he doesn’t drink alcohol and never gambling. When he ate the livestock, he could not eat the slaughtered that day, saying that there was a soul attached to the livestock, and he had to eat the next day. When he picked up a piece of chicken and put it to his mouth, he immediately asked the cook when it was killed. This behavior amused us. He once went on foot to Nepal and India to pass through and pay homage to the Buddha. He still has a lot of personal experiences that are very bumpy, so I can’t talk about it here. I feel that he shouldn’t be a driver at all, but that he should be an entrepreneur and a leader. Especially his eyes are amazing. As long as you ask him on many questions, he will answer you very carefully. My friends and I joked that King Ali was like a party secretary, and his speech was particularly straightforward. King Ali is not only a driver, but also owns three Japanese-style off-road vehicles, one of which he drives by himself and the other for rent. He is also a bargaining businessman who is cunning and humorous, intelligent and open-minded. However, in the following years, I saw a travel note written by a traveler on the Internet saying that King Ali had died of cancer. After seeing this news, King Ali’s voice and smile suddenly appeared in my mind, which made me feel good. It’s been too slow for a while. Payang Town is a small town with a special Tibetan style, where you can really feel how Tibetan compatriots live and entertain. I also took a lot of satisfactory photos, which added a lot of fun to my trip.

We packed our bags this morning and are ready to march on Mount Everest! The altitude at the foot of Mount Everest has reached more than 5,000 meters. This gives me mixed joys and sorrows. Hi, I never dared to think that we could also climb Mount Everest (at the foot). Worry is that the body cannot bear the altitude sickness. In this mood, we are driving on the mountain road, the highest peak in the world. According to online information: Mount Everest, which means “Our Lady” in Tibetan, is the highest peak in the world at 8,848 meters above sea level. It is located on the border between China and Nepal in the middle section of the Himalayas, just south of Tingri County, Xigaze Region, Tibet. The peak is covered with snow all year round, a holy sight. The Mount Everest region has 4 peaks above 8000 meters and 38 peaks above 7000 meters, which is known as the third-class of the earth. We drove off at 6:00 in the morning to take a photo of the sunrise at the foot of Mount Everest. We put on thick down jackets, hats and gloves, fully armed in the cold morning, waiting patiently for the sunrise, half an hour later, the sun will not Reluctantly rising from the east, suddenly the reddishness of the snow-capped mountains was reflected, and it was fleeting. We chose the location of Mount Everest to be poor, and we were afraid of physical exhaustion, so we didn’t dare to go too close and too far away , I feel that the photo effect of Mount Everest is not very ideal. On the top of the mountain opposite to Mount Everest, an old Tibetan woman came to us. She was holding a basin in her hand. There were many ancient fossils in it, shaped like shells. According to her, this was buried underground on Mount Everest. Fossils formed over thousands of years are sold to everyone. One costs 80-100 yuan. I’m afraid it is fake, so I didn’t buy it. I regret it now, even if it is fake, what about? It is not easy for the elderly to live on the plateau, even if it is to help the poor, even if it is to buy a souvenir, alas, I don’t know how they had that idea at the time. The top of Mount Everest is covered with snow and ice all year round. The glacier covers an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers. Although we did not photograph the magnificent beauty of Mount Everest, it is also a rare experience in life to witness the true face of Mount Everest with our own eyes! At this moment, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, and we put away the photographic equipment and rushed to our place. All the girls and the driver Ali Wang (middle) took a group photo in front of Mount Everest. When we arrived at the new place of residence, we all allocated our rooms and arranged our luggage. A team of people went to the famous Mount Everest base camp to check in and shoot without worrying about the fatigue. For the sake of environmental protection, I can only go to Mount Everest Base Camp by horse-drawn carriage. This makes me happier. It has been a long time since I took a horse-drawn carriage. It’s also very interesting to feel the sound of ticking horseshoes echoing on the mountain road in the wild. . Sitting on the carriage, the wind was very strong, and a chill was blowing towards me, but this couldn’t conceal my excitement. We followed the carriage driver to sing a familiar Tibetan folk song, and the beautiful tunes were flying in the sky… The carriage drove for about an hour and a half, and finally arrived at the Everest Base Camp, the so-called Everest Base Camp, but it was a canvas tent built by the Tibetans here. Somewhat disappointed me, the excitement came down immediately, and I had no choice but to Take a picture in front of the stone stele that was erected. The stele reads in various words: “Mount Everest Base Camp, elevation: 5200m”. In the Everest Base Camp, there are attentive Tibetan girls waiting for the arrival of tourists in front of every tent, welcoming you to enter the tent and drink sweet tea. We have been running outside for so long, and our bodies have long been frozen. Drink a cup Hot sweet tea is very necessary to warm the body. After staying in the base camp for an hour, we went down to the Rongbuk Monastery residence to shoot the sunset. In the evening, everyone was photographing the sunset on the mountain outside the residence. At about eight o’clock, the teammates who photographed the sunset came back. Everyone went to a small restaurant for dinner. The small restaurant was opened by Tibetan compatriots. The environment was not very good and there were too many people. , The meal is simple, it can fill the stomach on the plateau, and there can be no too high requirements. We stayed in the inn at Rongbuk Monastery. The accommodation conditions were very poor. The room only had two small wooden beds. The quilts covered were not cleaned for a long time. Fortunately, everyone prepared sleeping bags and could get in to sleep. I looked up at a small light bulb that was flickering on and off from the ceiling of the roof. There was no electricity in the middle of the night, so I could only use my flashlight to illuminate. The night on Mount Everest was a painful experience for me. Due to altitude sickness, I felt like I was suffering all night, too sad. I couldn’t sleep all night, I had difficulty breathing, and I needed to gasp to feel a little bit better. Once I lay down, it was difficult to breathe. I could only sit or stand all night, and couldn’t lie down at all. There is no way, in the end I have to go outside to see the stars and observe the twinkling starry sky. Only in this way can I turn the pain into pleasure, so that my breathing seems to be smoother. Because of sleepless night, I will never forget it! There is another thing worth remembering in Mount Everest, and this thing makes me especially touched! The spirit of friendship is carried forward in a difficult environment! One of our teammates in the three cars is a boy from Hong Kong. He is 1.8 meters tall and tall and burly. Unexpectedly, he just got down on the way to Mount Everest. When he arrived at the base camp, he remained unconscious at night. The three male team members who were in the same room kept bringing him water, feeding medicine, picking up urine, and looking for a doctor. They were so busy that they stayed up all night. In fact, everyone has different degrees of reaction on the plateau, and many people did not know each other before they came, and the common hobbies have come together. They do their best to take care of others regardless of their personal safety. This kind of selfless dedication and friendship Spirit is worth learning! Early the next morning, everyone was panicked when they saw the poor health of this teammate, and agreed to send him back to Lhasa for treatment. Since there was no car to go down the mountain at night, they had to wait until dawn. At dawn, after we waited for the eco-car to arrive, a Tibetan compatriot helped him put him on the eco-car, and the eco-car immediately set off to run down the mountain… Later, the Hong Kong guy was treated in the hospital and recovered. He returned to Hong Kong and his physical condition improved greatly. At that time, the doctor diagnosed him as suffering from pulmonary edema. He also said that if he came late for a while, his life would be in danger. Unforgettable day and night experience on Mount Everest! I think that I don’t know if I will come here in this life. The magnificent scenery of Mount Everest is indeed unforgettable, but the body’s endurance has reached its limit, which makes me feel lingering fears every time I remember! Goodbye, Mount Everest! I have imprinted your majesty and majesty deeply in my mind……..

There are a total of 12 people in our accompanying team, and we rented three cars (Toyota 4500). Twelve people have been recruited to Tibet when I was in Guangzhou, but three of them couldn’t move forward in the middle of something, which made the team leader Luo. As soon as the team leader arrived in Lhasa, he quickly posted a post and recruited three more people to get enough seats. The number of people in three cars. On the afternoon of the 24th, two girls from Beijing called and asked to travel together. In the evening, there is another Hong Kong compatriot who will also go there, and then we can take three cars and set off together. Everyone got together for a small meeting. There were four people in each car. The drivers were Tibetan compatriots. They were familiar with the road and had superb skills. All of us were very relieved. Early the next morning, we set off for the Ngari area. The Xigaze area is known as Houzang in history, and Xigaze means “Ruyi Manor”. It is bordered by Nepal, Bhutan, and India, with an average elevation of 3850 meters. It is currently an important tourist area and transit station of the Tibet Golden Tourist Route, and one of the famous tourist attractions. The famous singer Han Hong once sang a red song reflecting Shigatse, and it reverberated all over the country: “My hometown is Shigatse, there are beautiful songs…” I just hum this familiar melody all the way. Walked through Shigatse. We came to the famous Tashilhunpo Monastery, which means “Auspicious Sura”. The Tashilhunpo Monastery is built on a mountain and is the residence of the Panchen Lama. You will only know how deep the cultural heritage is here, and the symbols of the years are everywhere. I saw many devout men and women turning the prayer wheel, walking slowly towards Tashilhunpo Monastery. In history, Tashilhunpo Temple, Baiju Temple. Gathered many sects, get along with each other in peace and harmony. Our car drove to the ancient city of Latse at an altitude of 4280 meters. This ancient city has a history of 600 years and is now the third largest town in Tibet. The transportation hub between the former Tibet and the latter is Gyangze, where there are ancient castles, glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and the epic anti-British battle. The movie “Red River Valley” truly reproduces this history. There are few pedestrians on the road, and some sections of the streets in the county are paved with stone roads. The products are not rich. It looks a bit of a quaint town. It makes us feel that there should be no simple small towns that are polluted by the commercial atmosphere of the outside world. The three most famous historical and cultural relics are Zongshan Ancient Fort, Baiju Temple and Pala Manor. Outside the city is an elegant and moving pastoral scenery. The scenery is fascinating throughout the year! Along the way, we came to Yamdrok Lake, one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. This is the largest inland lake in the northern foothills of the Himalayas, with a history of 400 million years. The holy lake is the incarnation of the dragon girl and the residence of the female guardian god. It has multiple functions and supernatural powers. Passing by and seeing such a blue lake, everyone couldn’t restrain their excitement and hurriedly got out of the car and took pictures as much as possible. Looking back now, it seemed that I didn’t need tickets at the time, but now I need tickets to enter. In Tibet, there are many things that cannot be expressed in words. Every one of us has this feeling. What we see, a scene, a mountain, and a river, all trigger into the depths of our souls. The huge prayer wheels, the mana piles piled up on the mountain pass and the white prayer flags hanging high, swayed in the whistling wind, all of which reflected the soul of Tibet. Xigaze, with countless hidden secrets, is a highlight in Tibetan culture.
