Tibet Tibet (8)- Namco, the fate of a lifetime

When I first came to Namco, my friends and I came to her with full curiosity, as if we were children who stumbled into this world. It is also a coincidence that we can turn to the lake by car a week in advance (there is a saying in Tibetan Buddhism that turning mountains into water into forests). In order to better serve the people, the local tourism bureau is going to build a road around the lake on 20 14, and prepare for the 20 15 turn to the lake. What I gained along the way was that I experienced four seasons of wind, frost, rain and snow in one day, which branded me deeply in my heart. At that time, I secretly made up my mind, "Namtso, I will come back."

It has been two years since I came to Namco again because of my busy work. Time suddenly passed. This time, I bid farewell to my life in these two years. Tibet and Namtso are in a different mood. As the saying goes, "I will think of you in the clouds, so think of me in the sunset", and God seems to realize this reluctance. It began to rain when we set out in the morning. Along the way, the tall and majestic mountains are no longer shrouded by layers of rotating cages, but hang down from the sky to the foot of the mountain like a thick white curtain, holding the red and white collectors at the foot of the mountain tightly in their arms. Only yaks who are not afraid of rain are leisurely foraging in Shui Ze. In the gray-dominated world, red and white houses, huge green hills and black yaks are looming in the misty water vapor, as if they were a silent impressionist painting, which has existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years on this pure snowy plateau.

When the car passed the Nagenla Pass (about 5 190 meters above sea level), the originally sparse light rain suddenly turned into heavy snow. In the weather in June, many tourists wearing short sleeves ran wildly in the snow to express their magical sighs about nature, and then took out down jackets from their suitcases and put them on. No matter how excited they are, they can't resist the cold reality.

On snowy days, visibility is extremely low. The driver said, I'm afraid you came for nothing this time. It's probably still raining in Namco Scenic Area, and you can't see the snow-capped mountains of Nyainqentanglha Mountain. As a frequent visitor to Namco, sometimes the driver's words are equivalent to the weather forecast. "However, it is hard to say that it depends on chance and luck to see the scenery in Tibet. Whether the weather can turn cloudy or sunny depends on your luck." After a comforting word from the driver's master, the gloomy mood was filled with a ray of sunshine.

When the car stopped at Tashi Island, the rain didn't stop. The mountains in the distance, people nearby, yaks and unknown waterfowl perched on the rock wall are all wet. Walking by the lake with an umbrella for a while, the sky and the lake seemed to be a gray canvas, though slightly blue, but lifeless. It's very simple. Put away your umbrella and wait by the Mani stone by the lake. It's still early in case the dark clouds disperse.

Once I make up my mind, I will no longer care about her drizzle, her breeze and her gloomy clouds. Seeing the tourists around, wearing bright clothes, some holding red scarves, some holding white Hada, reflected some vitality and vigor in the gray space. I think it is the first time for most of them to come to Tibet, and the excitement has left the discomfort caused by altitude sickness far behind. At about 2: 30 in the afternoon, the clouds on the top of the mountain opposite the lake began to thin slowly, and the clouds hanging over Namco like a pot cover were gradually pushed aside by the high-altitude wind. The light beam hits the lake, like a huge stage, suddenly turns blue, the surrounding air becomes transparent, and the cheeks are gradually warmed by the sun. A little girl wearing red slacks, a white national shirt and colorful hair was deeply moved by the scenery in front of her. Like a frightened deer, she ran around her parents and shouted, "Dad, Mom, it's amazing and beautiful. This is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life. Oh, I am so lucky. " I believe she still has a lot to do. For me, why not?

I seem to be infected by her and my spirit is stimulated. I left my friends who came together on the rocks by the lake and let them rest and take pictures there. A person walks far along the arc of Tashi Island. The world after the rain is spotless, and the sense of transparency is really invisible. Although it is afternoon, the cold air still feels like morning. Not far ahead is a tourist, who dances carefully in front of the mountain and bows down. Further on, a few local people, old and young, are thinking about Buddhism in no hurry and around Tashi Island. When I walked about two kilometers, I stood in front of me. Two big stones that look like hands are tightly held together. I pointed my hands at the Buddha and Namtso, reached into the blue sky with my fingertips, and looked around to see its explanation, only to know that it was the "stone of fighting", also known as the "stone of parents". According to legend, it is the embodiment of the father Nyainqentanglha Mountain Peak and the mother Namtso Goddess, symbolizing their eternal love. This palm is the image of Master Lotus Peanut praying for everything with his hands folded in practice. So ingenious, I have to admire the magic of the creator.

Further on, I saw that the Tibetans who had just walked in front were drinking tea and eating in the shade of the mountain, so I asked them if they could still walk in front. After getting a negative answer, I turned back and left the rest of the way for the next visit. A trip that is too full is not necessarily the most beautiful result.

There is a saying that life is incomplete. Only by leaving some space for your own travel properly can you provide more expectations for the next trip. Life is not about looking forward to the next trip after this trip. The unreachable place is always in the distance, and the most beautiful scenery is always on the road.

Namco, I hope to meet you again in this life.
