How can I meet you when my kidney energy is at its fullest?
After 360km, I met Brother Jiao.
Day1 is omitted
Day2 After arriving in Lanzhou after heavy rain and sunny weather the day before, I happened to catch a train bound for Lhasa. I only had to stop in Xining. We met up with Awu and Panpan in Xining, rested for one night, and arrived at the starting point - Xihai Town.
The story of Xihai Town is to get a newly assembled Trek, stay in the club owner’s daughter’s room covered with TFboy posters, have a funny hot pot buffet, local highland barley wine, and visit the Jinyintan grassland – Wang Luobin met his beloved girl and created " In the vast grassland in that distant place, the grass withered in April, and it was desolate under the cloudy sky.
Day3: The first day around the lake
When we went out, the snow on the car downstairs told us that there was snow last night. After breakfast, we formed a team with Xiaosong, Yawei and Mengmeng. The three-person team became a six-person group. We took photos at the starting point and started riding around the lake on a cloudy day.
I always dislike cloudy days, but people who are obsessed with the plateau are still satisfied when they reach the plateau. It didn’t take long before we passed the first place that marked Qinghai Lake.
Then a heavy snowfall came suddenly and fiercely.
Heavy snow forced everyone to stop at a work tent along the way. At this time, the car and bag were filled with snow.
The snow was so heavy that the desert scene we were looking forward to on the first day of riding seemed to have been covered in heavy snow.
There is nothing terrible about the accumulation of snow on the car. What is terrible is that the accumulated snow turns into ice, the flywheel is frozen, the transmission system cannot work, and riding becomes laborious.
Beautiful scenes always require some hardships. The heavy snow stopped and the beautiful scenery began to appear. Plus, the foothold not far away made people even more motivated.
After experiencing a huge snowstorm for several hours, the sunny day came, feeling relaxed and dreamlike. It turned out that it was not the rapeseed season, and cycling around the lake could be so exciting.
The holy lake is right next to you, but you are never satisfied. You always want to get closer, and get closer. At this moment, you are the happiest person. You see what you want to see, and you make it happen - you come to the edge of the holy lake and touch the clear plateau lake water.
On the first day of riding, night falls and the snow sets at sunset, which makes people miss me.
Day 4: On the second day of cycling, I suffered acute injuries to both knee joints and lateral menisci. I suffered severe pain and it was very difficult to take a single step. But the Qinghai Lake around me is so beautiful, so persevere.
In the early morning, the snow in Qinghai Lake looks like a salt lake.
The team that is randomly captured is cool.
Lakeside lake, like a mirror image.
Stop by the lake again.
The photo is inspired by Li Zhi's "Mr. Van Gogh".
Looking over the lake, there are snow-capped mountains on one side and the holy lake on the other. It is so wonderful to walk through it like this.
Continuing forward, the natural pastures by the lake make people stop.
I'm lagging behind because of a foot injury, so I'll just feel it.
I don’t know what intermittent lameness feels like, but this must be intermittent lameness. The environment for parking and taking medicine is beautiful, but the medicine is too weak. I really want to take some morphine or pethidine. The VAS score is 10 points.
After assessing the condition, I gave up my plump Virgo style and took a ride to Bird Island. My friends went to the island. Those who like Tibetan Buddhism went to Shatuo Temple. A person is silently waiting for the sunset amidst the sound of chanting sutras, feeling lonely and meaningless.
Day5: On the third day of riding, my foot injury did not improve and I fell behind again.
At an inadvertent moment, I was the only one on the road around the lake with no end in sight, and I started taking timed selfies.
A person came to a different kind of lake and continued to take regular selfies with his mobile phone. Yes, there was no wireless shutter available at that time.
The scenery around the lake changes from time to time, including blue sky, white clouds, holy lake, prayer flags, and my Trek.
Finally passing the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, I felt a little excited when I saw the train passing by.
The foot injury was serious. I would like to thank my brothers Zhang Gui and Yu Xian for sending me to Gangcha County. I was given additional painkillers, but they still didn't work.
On this day, I chose to stay in Ganzihe and be with my lovely teammates. The mutton soup in Ganzihe, the couple who owns the pharmacy and accommodation, and the desert in the distance are the stories of that night.
Day6: The last half day of riding was cloudy and the scenery was greatly reduced. There were scattered animal carcasses on the roadside. As expected, I saw the train on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway passing by Qinghai Lake and the desert.
Returning to the end point of Xihai Town, I got the certificate for traveling around the lake. I went to Xining in the evening and stayed in Hengyu. I didn’t know where I was going to go the next day. What I didn’t know was that after experiencing various opportunities and coincidences, I would meet in Xining. Foot brother.
Love doesn't know where it starts, it goes deep once it goes forward, it knows where it will end, and it's like this for a lifetime.
