On September 11, 2021, we departed from Zhouning to Fuzhou, transferred from Fuzhou to Wuchang, and transferred from Wuchang to Lhasa. Lhasa to Ali, Ali to Hotan. From the excitement of just getting on the train, waiting for Lhasa, the sadness and discomfort of altitude sickness. To the high anti good, all the way to the journey of letting go of the self. This trip is full of surprises, surprises and joys on the way, and I know many interesting friends.
Sitting on the train, listening to Han Hong's heavenly road, this feels like a departure trip.
"At dusk I stood on a high hill and watched the railway build to my hometown
Dragon after dragon over the mountains brings well-being to the snowy plateau
It's a magical way to send the warmth of the world to the frontier
From then on the mountain is no longer high, the road is no longer long, and the sons and daughters of all nationalities gather together happily
Take us into the paradise on earth Barley wine butter tea will be more sweet, the happy song will spread all over the place."
From Fuzhou to Lhasa, the journey is more than 4,800 kilometers and 52 hours. Although it is the second time to go to Lhasa, the first time I entered Tibet by train, the last time I entered Tibet from Yunnan 9 years ago.
The train passes through hills, plains, yangtze rivers, yellow rivers, plateaus, Qinghai Lake, Coco Xili.
Looked out of the train window and was pleasantly surprised! Lots of wildlife to see. I often hear other passengers exclaiming in the carriage, "Look at the sheep, the cow, the eagle, and what is that...?" "Everyone is excited to see it, maybe more excited than visiting the zoo." Ha ha...... I thought it was interesting.
There are also small earth-gray furry animals, and then drill into the holes in the ground to protrude out of the head should be groundhogs or hares or the like, too far away to see clearly. There are also Tibetan wild donkeys, and rock sheep, so well, that rock sheep, we all have always thought it is the Tibetan antelope, but it is not. The rock sheep, a pinch of hair on the back of its ass, looked like a white heart from a distance. Later, I heard the conductor say that it was the cousin of the Tibetan antelope, and I didn't see the Tibetan antelope on the road, and the Tibetan antelope lived in a more remote no-man's land.
So when passing through Coco Ciri, one moment the sun was shining, and the other was foggy and raining. For a moment the hail fell, hitting the tin of the train, the sound of ping-pong ping-pong. For a moment the fog blew and the wind began to snow. It's really a feeling of going through spring, summer, autumn and winter for hours. Marvel at the spectacularness!
The train entered tibetan areas, the altitude became higher and higher, the air became thinner and thinner, and the train began to supply oxygen. Then listen to the conductor passionately tell us the history of the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway at that time. Listening to these gripping stories, the conductor is a Tibetan Qamdo. Although I had heard about it before, I really listened to her tell us, and I really felt like I was sitting on this railway train again. Listen to the train tell us how difficult it was for people to build a railway at that time. Many warriors were sacrificed.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has a harsh climate at a high altitude, and it is difficult to build a railway on this "roof of the world". Foreigners assert that it is impossible to build a railway. Chinese is to do this impossible possibility! It's really great!
