Tell me the reason for coming to Qinghai.

A long time ago, my understanding of Qinghai came from an old movie "Hoh Xil", from which I learned that there is such a place in the west of China. There are many mysterious legends and tear-jerking stories in Qinghai, among which the background of Love Song of the West Sea written by Dao Lang took place there. In fact, Qinghai ranks first in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In people's traditional impression, when it comes to the plateau, the first thing that comes to mind is Tibet. Just because Lhasa and Mount Everest are so famous, I don't know that Qinghai Plateau is not inferior at all. Personally, I have a good impression on Qinghai, because I am a member of the five northwestern provinces, and the customs are a little closer, especially in Xining, the provincial capital. You can't feel that I am in the west. As we all know, "Xinjiang in the north is dominated by Islam, while Tibet in the south is dominated by Tibetan Buddhism, which has a far-reaching influence on people living there. The Chinese culture in the East is profound and profound, and it also exports advanced civilization, while Qinghai is in the middle, which is naturally different. " Xining, as the provincial capital, is another existence. So that in the eyes of mainlanders, they have already arrived in the western regions; In the eyes of western people, it is also a prosperous and bright pearl. This is closely related to the Qing government's policy towards Qinghai after Nian Gengyao's successful Western Expedition.

Aside from the above, from the tourist's point of view, Qinghai gives me a complicated feeling: it has a vast territory and can enjoy the body and mind; The pure natural scenery makes people relaxed and forget the trivial things in the world; However, the mystery comes from its coldness, and there is always an irresistible side of manpower. In my mind, the status of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is irreplaceable, sacred, pure, awe, admiration and appreciation, but it has nothing to do with romance, but it always attracts me.

From the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, it has been raining for more than ten days in Xi 'an, which has disrupted the travel plan. Silent light rain, dripping underground, there are always several times a day, for several days in a row, which virtually kills all the mood on weekdays ... On the day after the festival, I sat alone in front of the coffee table and poured pot after pot, which has nothing to do with romance and time, and flowed quietly with time-

I am a patient person, but I don't want to be consumed by rain. Think of this, immediately bounce off the sofa, "go"! Starting from this idea, we packed our things and went out for less than ten minutes, and then we went to high-speed railway station. Look at the watch. It's past three o'clock in the afternoon. When the tickets haven't been checked, whatever the time. Anyway, it's certain to leave Xi 'an today. Oh, I'm lucky. I arrived at Xi North Station at 3: 55, and there was a train to Xining at 4: 00 18. I got on the bus with my ticket, and it was less than three minutes before the departure. Whoa, whoa, whoa! !

The trip of leaving is not new to me, but this one is the most urgent. This is the first time I have timed my thoughts and actions. It's already ten o'clock in the evening at Xining Station. The chilly wind blows from nowhere, making people tremble with cold. Staying in the north all the year round is still acceptable from the heart. In this big northwest, it is abnormal that there is no wind. It blows twice a year, once for half a year. The surrounding area of Xining Station is still very prosperous, and the neon light will not be dimmed by the cold weather.

After staying nearby, I took a break and went to the front desk to chat with my boss, mainly to listen to local people's opinions and suggestions on tourism. After all, some small details can't be found in online raiders. Hospitality of the middle-aged boss fully demonstrated the simplicity of the northwest people, wholeheartedly for each other's good, straightforward, do not see any tact. It seems that they are not guests, but friends, which makes me deeply moved. I thought that the human feelings of cities all over the country were basically the same, but now it seems that there are still great differences. Talking about the mode of travel, he said: "It is inconvenient and a waste of time to take the shuttle bus. Go by car, stop and go, go by yourself, worry-free. I'm afraid they will give you something. Well, I'll ask my friend to take you there. I can go anywhere one day. Just give him gas and tolls. " In fact, I asked all the taxis to the hotel. A trip to Qinghai Lake cost 600 yuan. The taxi he called was lower than the market price and he visited several places. There is no reason not to entrust him with help.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a LaVida was downstairs in the hotel on time, a middle-aged man about the same age as the boss, and an equally unpretentious northwest person. In view of their kindness and warm service, I finally offered to pay them money not lower than the market price to show my gratitude. Let's not talk about it in the future

All the way out of the city to the west, I have been climbing mountains. The first stop is "Ta 'er Temple", a Lama Temple with a history of hundreds of years. Ta 'er Temple is the activity center of Tibetan Buddhism in the northwest of China and enjoys a high reputation in China and Southeast Asia. The central governments of all previous dynasties spoke highly of the religious status of Ta 'er Temple. For hundreds of years, many living buddhas and lamas have carried out religious activities in the temple, and the Ming and Qing emperors gave titles to the upper religious figures in the temple. It can be seen that this "Ta 'er Temple" has a wide influence in Qinghai and Tibet. For people living here, the power of faith has penetrated into blood, soul and even every inch of land. No wonder, as I mentioned in my documentary about Africa: "In barren land, religious beliefs tend to become stronger." Because this is the spiritual pillar for them to survive. I remember that some netizens questioned at that time: What about Dubai? Yes, Dubai is super rich, but its land is still barren just by selling underground resources.

I was only interested in this period of history, not religious belief, so I went in and felt the Tibetan temple, and turned around and left.

The next journey is both exciting and thrilling. The car crawled round and round on the 14-lane plate, looking down from above and hanging. It was the first time that the altitude became higher, the air became thinner and foggy, and the fog on the road was heavy and floated on the ground. In this case, it's raining. After all, it's not raining, is it? But the car glass is all wet. The temperature is getting lower and lower, anyway, the heating has been turned on, and the sound of the engine has obviously become difficult. This is altitude sickness? Looking up, the notice board said "Laji Mountain-elevation 4 188m". Uh-more than four thousand? ! ! It's like I'm on the real Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and I'm getting excited. Just then, a group of Tibetan yaks appeared on the screen, crossing the road in an orderly way, and the car had to stop to make way for them. Some yaks look at vehicles that look like monsters, just like local folk customs, and their eyes are full of stupidity.

After passing the yak herd, we soon arrived at the scenic spot called "Zongkaladze". According to the driver, this place is to see the mountain view, but the fog is lingering, blocking the line of sight ten meters away. But since I'm here, I want to see the scenery anyway, so I got off the bus. After getting off the bus, people froze instantly, the moisture in the fog soaked the clothes, the cold wind blew hard, and the lips changed color. Walk around in a hurry, run to the car quickly, wait in the car for a while and then slow down.

As the car drove out of the "Laki Mountain", the clouds gradually dispersed and the field of vision gradually widened. I saw the stone peaks in the left and right mountains, and water was constantly oozing out, gathering into streams of different sizes and rolling down the river. Having said that, we have to talk about Qinghai's contribution to China waters: the "Three Rivers Source" that we often hear about is in Qinghai Province. In addition, there are many rivers that flow tirelessly eastward, giving birth to Chinese civilization. Therefore, it has the reputation of "China Water Tower".

About half an hour later, after passing the "Daotang River" scenic spot, looking inside, most of them were built by people. Compared with the mountains looming in the surrounding clouds, they obviously lack something to see. Continue to drive west, the cold air gradually recedes, the sun is shining, and the wind is beautiful. The towering mountains on both sides of the road, like the legendary evil spirits, watched me pass by and captured people's hearts without anger. A straight blue highway blends with the end of the sky. Is this heaven? I watched and watched, and I was fascinated. I forgot where I was and where I was going. I only know that the front is the end of the day. ...

"Look, the blue road ahead is Qinghai Lake!" The driver pointed at me.

In the distance, from the foot of the mountain, a piece of blue deeper than the sky extends endlessly to the west. "wow! This is Qinghai Lake, and I finally saw it. " I motioned excitedly. The master said, "Not nearly. It looks right in front of us. Twenty or thirty kilometers to walk. " Of course, I am convinced. I still know the situation in the frontier: there is no pollution and the visibility is good. It is not surprising to see it 50 kilometers away.

Entering the Qinghai Lake scenic spot, riding a herdsman's horse to the lake, especially like riding a horse. Wherever I go, I will never let go. I want to ride wild on the grassland, which is more enjoyable than in the mainland. Oh, who knows, it's still the same. No matter how you smoke, you walk slowly. You might as well ride an African donkey. Hey! Who is the horse in the scenic spot-

Qinghai Lake is still very shocking, with an area of 380 square kilometers. The water quality is especially clear and blue. Under the action of light, the middle of the lake looks like a water blocking wall, which is much higher than the shore, giving people an invisible sense of oppression. The sea breeze blows on the face and the waves roll up and down. Squat down and drink it with a spray in your hand. It's really salty! How nice it would be to turn it into fresh water! I really don't understand why the fresh water from the mountains flows into the lake. ! After all, there is no need to think about it. However, it is amazing that such a high roof has such a big lake and sea.

This day's trip can be described as wonderful and shocking. The distance of 3,000-4,000 meters witnessed the long history of the ancient temple, experienced the changeable climate in four seasons, saw the yearning Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Qinghai Lake many times, and felt the sincere enthusiasm of the northwest people. All the scenes are unprecedented, but they wash away the brain and baptize the soul.

Beautiful Qinghai, I have been here!
