As the New Year approaches, many more people return to their hometowns, and the cities along the way become more and more lively.
Sometimes Han Qi stopped the car and went to a restaurant to eat. When he was silent, the boss thought that Han Qi was a local who came back from outside. He praised her in the local dialect for a long time before he realized that he had made an mistake.
It took two days for Han Qi to drive out of Liangshan Prefecture and into Ganzi Prefecture.
He was not looking for the shortest route into Ganzi. He wanted to drive along the provincial highway to National Highway 318, and then drive back to Chengdu along 318.
318 is a cycling holy land in the hearts of many domestic and even foreigners. It seems that if you don’t ride this road once, your life will be in vain. However, even if you make complete preparations, only 20-30 people take action.
When Han Qi rode to Tibet, the route was the more steep Yunnan-Tibet Line. It was only after arriving in Tibet that he saw this road.
But that’s all in the second half.
From the road he chose to the Sichuan-Tibet Line, the convergence point is in Litang.
Litang is a city that Han Qi has heard about. In order to find out what interesting attractions there are in western Sichuan, Han Qi searched for some information on the Internet. Some tourists who have been to Litang spontaneously recommended this place.
It cannot be said that the effect is not great, it can only be said that it is not at all.
People who come to the Sichuan-Tibet Line all go for the Tibetan scenery. When passing through Litang, whether they are biking or hiking, they all look forward to the unknown road ahead and feel that they can see more beautiful scenery.
, and besides, they had just stepped onto the national highway, and their mental and physical conditions were very good, so there was no need to rest in Litang.
So every year so many people travel along the Sichuan-Tibet Line by car, but few are willing to stop here.
Han Qi was not planning to go to Tibet, so after arriving in Litang, Han Qi planned to rest for two days and then drive all the way back to Chengdu.
Litang is a small city. On the way there, you can see a panoramic view of Litang. It doesn’t look as big as Dechang, but the air is fresh. Most of the buildings in the city are red, with red roofs and white walls, which are Tibetan-style buildings.
The style is very strong.
Except for the mountainous side where you drive, the other side is grassland.
This is also in line with Tibetan customs. If the land in front was not a grassland, but a continuous rice field, it would be a damage to the image. Now it is just right. Han Qi can see the cattle and sheep grazing on the grassland from a distance.
.
He quickly went down the mountain to Litang.
Along the way, I saw many slogans such as, Litang welcomes you, a town you must pass through in life, holy Ganzi, and hospitable Litang.
Soon, Han Qi discovered that Litang's tourist facilities were very good. The local government had developed many places and recruited employees to start charging for scenic spots. The tickets were very low. Twenty yuan per person was as good as free for tourists.
Same as going.
When traveling, there are dozens or hundreds of tourist attractions. From this point of view, twenty yuan is really nothing.
The city is also very clean. You can see a trash can every short walk on the street. It looks very new. It should have been installed only a year or two, and it is usually well maintained.
“What a mature travel model.”
If it weren't for the sparse number of tourists, Han Qi would say this is a popular tourist attraction.
The leaders in charge of municipal administration should have worked in some popular tourist spots before. Many of the things Han Qi saw when he walked into Litang were familiar. They were found in popular tourist cities outside. The only difference was that there were not many tourists here.
Facilities are hardware and publicity is software. Today's Litang is just a high-end computer without a system installed, which is of no use.
The houses in the city should all have had their exterior walls renovated. They looked pretty good, and there were quite a few hotels. Han Qi checked into a hotel just when he entered the city.
It can also be said to be a B&B.
There is a small yard at the entrance, where I raise some fish, dry some clothes and sheets, etc. There are three rooms on the second floor and three rooms on the third floor.
Han Qi asked the boss who brought him up: "Is it okay to open a B&B business here?"
"What kind of business is there? There is no business." The elder brother's Mandarin is not very good and he is a bit stiff but very enthusiastic. "Most of them are tourists passing by Litang. They want to go to Lhasa and stay in Litang for one night before leaving.
Yes, and they generally don’t stay in B&Bs, they like to stay in youth hostels.”
Nowadays, the 318 Route has been commercialized, and there are very cheap hotels along the way for cyclists or hikers to stay.
This kind of hotel is almost full every day during the peak season. When it comes to larger convoys, one convoy can book the entire hotel, and maybe six people can sleep in one room.
Young people praise him as "working hard on his body and skin."
But in fact, there is no money.
The people who ride to Tibet are all young people with little savings. They set out with enthusiasm and meticulous thoughts about what to eat and where to stay. They go to places that are said on the Internet to be visited once in a lifetime. Of course, along the way
I would never stay in such a beautifully decorated B&B.
And rich people are not the majority in the cycling army.
It is difficult to ride alone in Lissa. People are used to making appointments in advance, and then forming a team to help them ride on the 318. This kind of team often stays in youth hostels, so those who are not short of money
The knights also stopped by.
This is probably why B&Bs along Sanyiba Road are not so popular.
Especially in Litang, Han Qi thought that the B&Bs here should be built for people who come here specifically to travel. You can see many of them by searching on your mobile phone, but the number of tourists is too small.
The boss said with some emotion: "It's good to have one room occupied for one night. Guest, which room do you want to stay? The Chinese New Year has come recently, and there are fewer and fewer tourists. There is not a single guest in the house."
Others would like to pretend that business is booming even if there is no business, but this old man did not hide anything at all and directly told the business situation of his B&B.
However, Han Qi is basically determined to live here, and whether there is business or not is not a problem.
It would be better if there was no business, and it would be more comfortable to live with fewer people.
He chose the third floor.
There are fewer high-rise buildings in Litang, and there are more two-story houses. The place where Han Qi lives is also relatively high. Looking out the window from here, you can see a large area of the city, and the windows still face the east, where the sun rises.
, there is no building blocking the view along the way.
Yes, the location is great.
After looking at the Tibetan-style decorations in the room, Han Qi nodded and said with satisfaction: "I will live here. Thank you for bringing me up."
"Hey, thank you for nothing. You're welcome. Then you can rest here. Here is the key."
After taking the key, the big man in Tibetan robe lowered his head and walked out of the room.
The door to this room is a bit low, which is a drawback.
But just pay attention to one thing.
The Tibetans here basically belong to the Kham Tibetan ethnic group and are tall.
Although they are from Tianfu, their physiques are completely comparable to those of Northeastern men, and they are also more masculine because they also have big beards.
I touched a few spots that need to be cleaned frequently. Some were clean, while others had a little dust.
This is already good, overall this B&B is very clean.
After putting down the things, he opened the door and went out. The boss was sitting on the first floor watching TV. The Tibetan TV station was playing Journey to the West translated into Tibetan. Han Qi quickly said hello to him and went out. Sun Houhou cursed in Tibetan.
Monsters are so magical.
Han Qi found that if you want to experience Tibetan customs in Tianfu, you don’t have to go to Tibet at all. Litang is just the place.
One-third of the residents wear Tibetan robes every day, and there are also elderly people walking on the streets swinging small prayer wheels and shopping. There are clothing stores on the street selling casual clothes, and some specializing in Tibetan robes.
Han Qi's hobby of buying clothes took off and she walked into a store specializing in Tibetan clothing.
The cashier should be on the left side of the store, and there are a few girls sitting on the right holding cloths and making clothes by themselves.
A shopping guide came over quickly and asked, "Want to buy clothes?"
"Ah, Tashi Delek!"
Han Qi spoke the few Tibetan words he knew with a smile on his face.
"Tashi Delek." The shopping guide also said.
This sentence was given to Han Qi a long time ago by Li Xiaochuan, a friend he met while riding. Among Tibetans, the use of Tashi Delek is much wider than that of "ni hao" in Mandarin. It can also be said to be a blessing. Anyway, as long as you meet
For Tibetans, this is definitely true.
Han Qi also received a smile from the shopping guide.
"I'm from the mainland and I want to see the clothes you have here."
"You have such a good figure, you will definitely look good no matter what you wear. If you don't have any special needs for clothes, you can take a look at this one."
She gave Han Qi a coat. The overall color of the coat was saffron, but it was decorated with golden yellow. The collar and various edges were also made of golden yellow fabric. Different from the clean and pure saffron, golden yellow
There are also some mysterious black threads on the lines. It feels like there should be some mysterious pattern. It is very beautiful.
The lining inside feels like silk and is also golden yellow. It looks like the material of the dragon robe in the TV.
Of course, the way of buttoning up is the same as on the grassland. Cross the collar and slant lapel, tighten the clothes on the right side, and then cover the clothes on the left side to the right. This is different from the ancient Chinese right gusset. Mongolia worships the left, and even the Catholic Church
When children get on the horse, they must get on from the left side, and their clothes are also covered on the left side, which is the left gusset.
Han Qi looked at it in the mirror and found that it looked pretty good.
This kind of clothes is between modern clothes and traditional Tibetan clothes. It is an optimization. Many Tibetan compatriots will buy such clothes when they want to go to the mainland. They are easy to carry and wear. On this basis, they also retain the traditional Tibetan style.
The uniqueness of clothing.
The tour guide stood behind Han Qi. When Han Qi put on her clothes, she instinctively wanted to praise something, but the words were mumbled in her throat for a long time and she could not say them out.
So pretty.
This figure, this face, and these clothes are just made for you, right?
Shopping guides in clothing stores are always able to find out some of the advantages of customers to praise them no matter what they see. They are among the best people in the country who understand the thoughts of beauty lovers. But at this time, she really didn’t know what to say.
Already.
After a while, she said: "You are so beautiful."
But it was in Tibetan, something she said subconsciously.
Han Qi didn't understand, so he glanced at her, then spread his hands and asked, "How is it?"
"It's very beautiful. If you wear this dress and walk on the street, I think every Tibetan girl who meets you will fall in love with you, right?"
Hearing such praise, Han Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but was blocked by the mask.
"It's not that exaggerated." Han Qi modestly said, "Then I bought this dress. How much did it cost?"
"Seven hundred and sixty dollars."
"..."
The cost is quite high for such a small place.
There was no price tag on these clothes, and he didn't know the price of other clothes. He couldn't estimate the price accurately, so he asked, "Can't we reduce the price?"
"Then...seven hundred?"
Han Qi blinked and looked at her. Just as the tour guide hesitated and continued to shout for less, Han Qi said directly: "Okay, okay, just seven hundred, thank you."
"Ah, as long as you like it."
The female shopping guide took the clothes and went to help Han Qi pack them. Han Qi did not follow her and stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
It seems that I will have to use female shopping guides to sell things in the future, and bargaining for prices goes so smoothly.
Tibetan clothes are indeed more expensive. When Han Qi asked several stores, the prices were hundreds or even thousands. At that time, he also wanted to buy a few clothes to go to the Potala Palace Square to take photos with others, because he felt that taking photos was too much.
If you make money, you only need to take ten photos of tourists to earn back the 1,000 yuan you spent on clothes.
At that time, I thought it was too expensive and I was reluctant to buy it. Now it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish I had at that time.
Walking to pay the bill, the girl at the front desk said to Han Qi: "If it doesn't fit, we can help you change it."
"It's appropriate. I'm dressed well."
After buying it, Han Qi took off his windbreaker and put it in his bag. He walked on the street wearing the Tibetan robe he just bought. The number of heads turned increased a lot, and many people took pictures of him with their mobile phones.
Hmm...it's not Douyin again, right?
Forget it, I have to leave tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. I will go back early when the fans in the army feel that Litang is here.
Shi Shiran returned to the B&B. The old man was eating melon seeds and watching TV. When he looked up, he saw a handsome Tibetan guy walking in. He was stunned for a moment. He quickly remembered that this was the customer who had come to book a room this afternoon, so he quickly
He stood up and came to Han Qi with surprised eyes.
"Yeah, this looks great on you."
"Really? I just bought it."
"Well, these are improved clothes from our Kham area. They are very popular among young people, but they are not as good-looking as yours." He said bluntly, with a rather envious expression on his face.
Han Qi asked: "What are these black lines?"
The clothes were a darker saffron color, but the cutting lines were golden yellow, and there were also black threads. Han Qi seemed to know why there were these black threads. He always felt that there should be some meaning in them.
"This...is the tiger stripe."
"Tiger stripes?"
"Well, there are many animals in our Kham area, including tigers, prairie dogs, foxes, etc. In recent years, after the national control, we no longer use animal skins on Tibetan robes. The previous clothes are also put on festivals.
You probably want to wear this to simulate tiger stripes, it looks pretty good."
"Oh, thank you."
Han Qi wore this dress without buttoning it and went back to the room in high spirits.
Buying a piece of clothing you like is a very happy thing. It probably took a few hours of happiness before Han Qi was in the mood for dinner.
