The altitude is so high, but there are many small animals on the road.
The red-billed gull walks strangely, and the marmot is not afraid of people at all.
The prairie dog looks cute.
Generally speaking, they will not come to the main road, but will play chasing games with their companions on the grass on the side. If a tourist comes up and feeds them biscuits, they will not run away, but will stand up on their feet very obediently and wait.
Feeding, this operation is as skillful as domestic animals.
Some tourists even touched them with their hands, but the marmot ignored them.
If it is confirmed that there is no food in the hands of the tourists, they will leave the place where the humans are and continue playing with their companions.
It’s also quite realistic.
There were exceptions. Two prairie dogs ran in front of Chen Xing and looked at him. The distance was very close, which made Chen Xing feel that if he wanted to touch them, he could easily touch them. However, Chen Xing did not move and just raised his head.
The camera took pictures of them and then continued walking forward.
No matter how close wild animals are to humans, do not touch them unless necessary.
This is also for your own safety.
Wild animals will carry germs, and those germs may not pose any threat to themselves, but once they reach humans, they will be very serious. Isn’t this how AIDS and plague come from?
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu can be used on Android and Apple.]
Besides, humans are not easy creatures to get along with, they are moody.
If you encounter an unreasonable person, it is not uncommon to kick them away.
After taking two close-ups of the little creature in front of him, Chen Xing continued to move forward.
He walked very smoothly. This gentle road is much easier to walk than the snow-capped mountains. At noon, he reached the foot of the shocking west wall of Kailash ahead of time.
This is a gravel beach with a large area. Tourists in small and large groups come here to take selfies or take pictures of Kailash with details visible to the naked eye.
I heard that white clouds linger here all year round. The locals always believe that if anyone can see the top of the mountain, he is a lucky person.
Today, everyone present is a blessed person.
It has been a sunny day in Kailash for the past two days, and the white clouds are far away, so the peak of Kailash is no longer blocked by white clouds, revealing its true appearance to those who turn around.
Looking up at Mount Kailash from the west wall, the mountain is no longer a triangular white snow wall, but slightly arc-shaped. The entire mountain looks more like a Buddha sitting cross-legged. At this moment, she is sitting upright.
In the sky, the treasures are so majestic that it is difficult to describe.
When you suddenly wake up and want to pick up the camera to take a picture, you can never go back to the previous scene.
Chen Xingkachakacha took a few photos.
The picture is very ordinary, or simple. Kailash is still the same Kailash, not the giant Buddha sitting cross-legged that Chen Xing saw.
He smiled bitterly.
He has countless imaginations, but photography is a real art, and Chen Xing cannot restore his imagination to photos.
Keep walking.
After walking for another hour, we arrived at Zherepu Temple.
You can stay here. I heard it is the highest temple in the world, with an altitude of 5210 meters. At this time, Chen Xing has walked 22 kilometers. When he came here from Taqin, the altitude rose by 545 meters. Although the previous road was not difficult,
However, due to the altitude, Chen Xing still exhausted a lot of energy, so he decided to take a rest and eat something here.
There are many supply points on this winding mountain road, with hot water for making instant noodles and even sweet tea.
Chen Xing bought a bottle to eat with bread.
The structure of the restaurant at the supply point is similar to that of the teahouse at the foot of the mountain. They are both in the same room. The wall on the side has been changed into a floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can see the vast world outside.
After eating and resting for a while, when he walked out of the supply point, he saw two people he knew who lived opposite him last night.
These are two college students who graduated this year. They have not been able to find a job for several months and are very depressed, so they made an appointment to travel to Tibet together. By the way, they came to Mount Kailash. But due to financial problems, they did not
Instead of looking for a self-driving car, take the Northern Line bus directly.
Of course, you can't see those scenery by taking a bus.
They were supporting an aunt who was in her fifties and walking slowly forward.
Chen Xing went up to say hello: "Li Xiaobo, Li Yan, didn't you two leave at six o'clock? How did you get here?"
The two of them turned around and looked at Chen Xing with surprised expressions.
"Chen Xing, when did you set off?"
"Around nine o'clock."
"Why are you walking so fast? We just stopped to have something to eat and are about to continue walking."
While talking, Chen Xing had already walked up to them. He glanced at the aunt Li Yan was supporting and asked Li Xiaobo in a low voice: "Who is this aunt?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know you and you are taking her away? Did she come alone?"
"I heard that she got separated from her companions. We will help her to the supply point in front. Someone will pick her up then."
Chen Xing looked at the road ahead and asked, "Where will you stay tonight?"
"The big tent in Nepal, I overestimated us. I originally wanted to insist on walking in one day, but now it seems that it is difficult to walk to the big tent in Nepal."
Chen Xing motioned them to look at the Zherepu Temple behind him and said, "Why don't you just stay here for one night and recharge yourself tomorrow before crossing the mountain pass."
Li Xiaobo did not agree.
If it is an ordinary two-day journey, staying at Zherepu Temple at night is definitely the best choice. However, Li Xiaobo and Li Yan were among the first batch of mountain pilgrims who set off in the morning. If word spread that they left for a day, they ended up staying in Zherepu Temple.
Pusi, where should they put their faces?
Even Chen Xing, who was the last to leave from the hotel, caught up with them.
Seeing that they did not agree with his suggestion, Chen Xing did not persuade them much and said: "Then I will wait for you in the big tent in Nepal."
Next is today’s real challenge. It’s a total of eight kilometers from Zherepu Temple to Zhuomala Pass. It’s all uphill. Not only did these two people not have a good rest, they also brought a person who seemed to have lost the strength to walk.
, how to get up easily?
He shook his head, said goodbye to the two friends he had just met last night, and moved on.
Stopping and going, Chen Xing spent two hours arriving at the Sky Burial Ground.
Coming here feels like arriving at a desolate graveyard. The entire hillside is full of clothes, hats, and shoes left by people who have walked up the mountain. I heard that every piece of clothing you take off during the walk means you have passed through a death.
, thus avoiding the pain of reincarnation.
Tibetan people believe that everyone has to suffer the six reincarnations.
There are two ways to solve this suffering. One is to cultivate and become a living Buddha, which is not practical for 99.99% of people. The other way is to go to the mountains. They believe that going to the mountains can wash away their whole life.
sins and avoid entering hell.
The habit of throwing away clothes is probably a legend somewhere.
Chen Xing saw the oldest Tibetan mountain pilgrim here. He must be at least eighty years old from the looks of it, but he still walked forward in three steps in a pilgrim way. His movements were slow and heart-wrenching.
.
He followed him worriedly for a while, but finally passed him and walked forward.
