Namtso: I'm here

I'm going to Namtso today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before I came to Tibet, I only knew that Namtso was beautiful and magical. I've seen it on TV, and I didn't feel more when I watched it, because I knew I couldn't go.

One day, Zhou Yan told me, "Duo'er, Namtso is really beautiful, and what you see with your own eyes is different from what you see on TV." ”

At that time, I was itching in my heart, and I timidly asked him, "Can I go?"

"Yes, you can definitely go, you can go wherever I can, let's go together. He had a serious expression, as if he was encouraging me with a lot of determination.

When I heard this, I felt that I was making an excessive demand to him that exploited and oppressed him, so I was uneasy and did not look forward to it at that time.

A year later, I ended up coming alone.

Not only did I come, but I also made up for his regrets, because he went to the Potala Palace three times, but was stopped by the Tibetans who sold knives and could not enter (looking at it now, his reasons are debatable). Because, there are no knives around. )。 It seems that he really responded to his words, and I can go wherever he can come, hehe......

At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, we set off. The car ran west along the Lhasa River (westward is what I felt. ）。 I love to climb mountains, but I still pay attention to the mountains in front of me. The mountains of Lhasa are completely different from the Qinling Mountains, all of them are green and yellow stones, without a single tree or grass, and they are extremely sparse, because it rains every night in Lhasa, and the mountains are washed away without a trace of soil all year round, and the stones are so clean that you can see the texture clearly when you sit in the car. And the barley that was about to ripen on the side of the road and the patches of golden rape in full bloom made my heart flutter.

It was already around 9 o'clock when I took a break through Yangbajing. Because it rains in Lhasa at night, the air here is transparent and refreshing, and the sky is washed by the rain every night, so blue that there is no trace of imperfection and pure dust. The large clouds on the horizon hugged under the blue, nestled on the mountains, standing in the snow-capped mountains, like a happy girl and boy wandering in the blooming peonies, smiling, mysterious and peaceful.

And the steam rising from the geothermal well of Yangbajing, white and transparent like cooking smoke, in this vast wilderness, under this mysterious auspicious clouds, it is just like the water sleeves thrown by the fairy, and my heart is about to fly over......

I'm about to climb the 5,190m Nagenla Mountain, which is the highest altitude I've ever had. I couldn't take it anymore and in Lhasa I started to have strong altitude sickness. And here is 1000m higher than Lhasa, my God, imagine how uncomfortable I am!

Every second I stayed here was infinitely painful, and oxygen inhalation didn't work (I later realized that I was inexperienced, and oxygen intake was late.) I didn't even have the strength to go to the bathroom, let alone take pictures.

However, I have a strange phenomenon from beginning to end: although I have endured physical discomfort beyond my limit, my mood has never been depressed, let alone pessimistic, and I have always dragged the "sickly" relaxed, the "sickly" curious, and the "sickly" longing and yearning.

When we climbed over the top of a mountain, suddenly there was a strange thing in front of us, and the people in the car exclaimed at the same time: Ah, so beautiful!

Yes, it's beautiful. In the distance was Namtso! My heart suddenly lit up. I saw that in that vast sky, a lake was connected to the sky like the most beautiful light blue in the world from a palette, and the lake was high above the ground as if it was being lifted by the earth. And the mysterious clouds unique to Tibet, at this time are not in the sky but in the lake, at this time Namtso is like a pond of white lotus flowers blooming in a fairyland, the clouds and the lake are all one, you have me, I have you, just like its legend......

In the face of such beauty, I didn't take pictures because it distracted me, and more importantly, I thought it would be more beautiful when I got to the lake. Hehe.

My heart was already flying towards Namtso, and I felt that the speed of the car was slowing down. My excitement continued to run high as I turned around. However, in the waiting that could not be reached, physical discomfort took the first place. Perhaps it was because of the pain in my eyes, but I saw that the color of the lake was changing as it got closer and closer, and the transparent light blue that had previously caught my eye became thicker, and the clouds were leaving the lake.

Stopped about a kilometre from Namtso. The sea dial in Namtso is 4700m, and my discomfort is still there. I slowly got out of the car with an oxygen tank on my back, headaches, eye pain, calf muscle soreness, and the heaviness of my body due to lack of oxygen, making me walk like an old man.

Because of discomfort, after getting out of the car, our companions didn't say a word to each other, and we didn't have the strength to say it. Usually I can complete the road in the playground in more than 10 minutes, and I walked extremely hard.

Finally to the lake. Looking at the sapphire Namtso, I slowly squatted on the edge of the lake, quietly looking at the calm lake, looking at the clouds like waves that left the lake and were stationed on the mountains, and my heart was like a lake without a single ripple. No excitement, no feelings.

Namtso, I'm coming. At this moment, I have come to your side, why are you not in the romantic and wonderful transparent light blue when you look at it from afar? Isn't it connected by the clouds and water that surprise me? Not in the mysterious and strange lotus pond in full bloom? It is not what I imagined, a glance at the lake will remind me of the promise of the past and present lives and the reincarnation of the soul, the wisps of abandonment, missing and watching......

Facing your thick blue, I feel that Namtso is preoccupied, without aura and vitality.

The legendary sacred lake, why is it like this in my eyes? Could it be that we don't have fate? At this moment, my heart was blank.

I sat down while I was on oxygen, and my eyes swept over the lake to look into the distance, and the white and transparent clouds opened their smiling faces to me and opened their hearts to me.

Hehe, at this time, I understood one thing: the beauty of Namtso is not made up of this single lake. It is the unity of heaven and earth, composed of a castle-like mountain waiting by the lake and the auspicious clouds on the mountain. Under the blue sky, the clean castle is Qionglou Yuyu, and the clouds are the waves rising from Namtso......

In my eyes, Namtso is not a holy lake but a fairyland. I can only appreciate its lakes and mountains, and I can only understand its stunning beauty when it comes to the combination of heaven and earth. I can't understand the sacred place in the blue water, and I can't understand the traces of my past and present lives in the lake......

But I believe: I have an appointment with you in this life, otherwise I would not have come to Tibet, because I knew Namtso. Maybe your magic is arranged for me in the Potala Palace, in the palace of the sixth **, and you let my tears stay in the Potala Palace instead of Namtso. Because, Cangyang Gyatso was also found here, and the reunion with him could only be found in the Potala Palace. So, when I came to you, I came to the lake to rest like a person who had completed this mission in Tibet.

On this trip, under the strong discomfort of my body, I harvested the shocking beauty when I looked at it from afar, and also harvested the beauty of seeing the clouds and sails rising by the lake, and the mountains and rivers in one fairyland.

It's worth the trip, but it won't come again. It's so painful, growing so big, and the body has never felt so bad.

However, a day later, on the way to the Brahmaputra Gorge, I told a friend in Tianjin: The only failure in this trip to Tibet was in Namtso. Because of my body's reaction, my attention was all about the discomfort. My emotions were affected, and I didn't really appreciate the beauty of Namtso. It seems that we are here for the first time, and the arrangement is unreasonable and inexperienced.

Unexpectedly, my friend in Tianjin agreed with me very much, and he said that his experience was the same.

Talking, talking, let's talk, what if we come back next time......

Hmmm? I was taken aback. How could I have the idea of coming back? I have repeatedly told my family in the past few days: I am a representative, you should not come again, your body is too uncomfortable.

This has not yet left Tibet, let alone the reaction to get rid of the pain, to have such a thought?

However, the night before I left Tibet (on the 29th), in the Potala Palace Square, I was in a mood that suddenly improved, and when I dragged my body, which had lost six pounds in seven days, and danced and danced to the music, a voice rose in my heart: I will come again.

Hehe......

Asked softly: Namtso, do we still have an appointment?
