Chapter 31 Tibetan Switzerland

Bomi is located on the east bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and forests.Bomi means "ancestor" in Tibetan.Here, the eyes are all golden. Bomi County is much larger than the previous county, and there are obviously more shops, hotels, and Internet cafes. Standing on the roof of the hotel, you can see the neat buildings in Bomi County, and the mountains are very close, making them even more majestic.Through the window, you can see the holy snow-capped mountains.There are very few clouds in the sky, revealing the true color of a large blue sky. Here, there are many mobile vendors every year.The locals are very good at using swords, all kinds of Tibetan knives never leave their bodies, so there is a heroic look between their brows.

It is said that Tubo Zhigong Zanpu was murdered by the minister Luo Ang, so his youngest son Jiachi fled here and established himself as the king of Bomi.Due to the high mountains and long roads, the Bomi Dynasty continued to expand its power and lived here for more than a thousand years. After dinner, I found an Internet cafe.It's been many years since I left the Internet, and I still can't get rid of some ills of urbanites. When I saw an Internet cafe, I was a little excited, as if I could finally connect with familiar people. Only after I went to an Internet cafe did I realize that I am far from the only one suffering from urban ills.Looking around, most of them are tourists who come here to travel.To my delight, Tao Wei is also here!

I ran up behind him, barely giving him a big hug. No one who has traveled this distance will understand the excitement of seeing acquaintances.Even if it is a strange acquaintance like Tao Wei who only met once, helped me fix the car and never met again! Tao Wei was obviously also surprised when he saw it was me.I didn't care what happened, I asked for his QQ number first, then patted him on the shoulder naturally and familiarly, and asked, "How long have you been here?" They had arrived here last night, but they just fell asleep and didn't go anywhere during the day.His friends were sitting next to me, and I greeted them warmly regardless of whether they still remembered me.

Opened QQ online and modified the signature.Then I heard Tao Wei asking me for my QQ number, and we added friends. I wrote a long account travel diary, and a lot of feelings came to my heart at once, and there seemed to be endless things to say.Because of the problem of time, it is simple and simple. I asked Tao Wei online where they were going tomorrow, and he said he planned to go to Medog.I said that I would also like to go to Medog, but I still plan to play in Bomi.I asked them if they were interested in hiking in Gang Township together tomorrow.Probably he discussed it with his companions, and replied shortly afterwards:

"OK!" I think, this night, I must have been laughing foolishly.Since Tang Li and Luo Bing left, only Suolang Mucuo saw me off for a while, and the rest of the journey was so lonely.However, starting tomorrow, I have a companion again! When I returned to the hotel from the Internet cafe, I made an appointment with Tao Wei and the others to wait downstairs at eight o'clock the next day. This night, I lay on the window sill and looked at the sky full of joy. The blue sky is so quiet, and a full moon hangs in the sky, overflowing with cool light. Lying on the bed, looking through the phone book, he sent a message to Qi Lan: The destination is close at hand.

Qi Lan said: "Congratulations baby, you've worked hard all the way! Have a good night's rest." Covered with a quilt at night, I slept very soundly. It was just dawn, and I had already started packing my hiking gear. After meeting with Tao Wei and the others, they drove, and I accompanied them on a small motorcycle.From Zhamu Town to the scenic spot, there are more than 20 kilometers away. In order to save time, we decided to drive to the entrance of the scenic spot. Gangxiang Nature Reserve is located on the south bank of the Palong Zangbo River. We walked across the wooden bridge hanging from the river.For a moment, I was a little startled.The prayer flags in mid-air kept waving their hands, as if to appease my flustered heart.

After crossing the bridge, you enter the protected area.A winding sandstone mountain road extends towards the mountain. You can see a piece of land beside the road, which looks very barren. I don’t know what those Tibetans are farming? After crossing a relatively flat road, we began to climb uphill and entered the depths of the forest.Probably it had just rained last night, and the ground was muddy, and the branches on both sides had to be pushed open.We were all busy on our way, and when we looked up occasionally, we would see a Tibetan house. On both sides of the mountain road, there are all kinds of plants, exuding a spicy aroma.

There are dense fruit hanging from some branches, bending the twigs.There are many mosses and ferns growing under the feet, which are somewhat similar to the mountains in our south. The difference is that there are thick fallen leaves under the feet, which will rustle when stepped on. After formally entering the spruce forest, we seem to suddenly become small. Looking up at the crowns of these trees, we will feel dizzy.Here, there are also large trees that are slowly rotting on the ground after felling because they cannot be transported out.On the tree stump, mushrooms like Ganoderma lucidum have grown, we dare not pick them randomly, dragging our shoes full of mud to move on.

The sun was up, but we were still cool under the cover of the trees.Along the way, we could see little cows and ponies, as well as a few big trees. The few of us formed a circle, and we couldn't hug each other.Although the ground is full of fallen leaves, the forest is full of greenery. When we walked to the fork in the road, we met a local Tibetan. He told us in poor Mandarin that if we gave him 100 yuan, he could take us to see the most beautiful scenery. Can't see anything and can get lost. Originally, we were not very convinced, but after thinking about it, there are five of us, and 100 yuan is still a good deal.Moreover, there is a local legend that if you accidentally walk into the hinterland of the spruce forest, you will be hidden by the goddess in the mountains, and you will never find your way back.Anyway, we accepted this lead the way.

In the Bomi area, call the canyon Ading Lane.The Tibetan took us up the stream, and it seemed that we hadn't walked long before we saw the pasture.The cabin sits quietly in the wild grass. The grass elsewhere has long been withered and yellow, but this place is still full of greenery.It's really "the world is full of fragrance in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom". Tao Wei wanted to get close to the cabin to take pictures, but unexpectedly stepped on the grass and wet his shoes.Fortunately, the shoes are waterproof, and we dare not step into the swamp that looks like grass.

Through the pasture, and into the dense forest.As the altitude increases, the spruce forest has disappeared, and there is a green pine forest in front of us.The sun shines through the gaps in the trees and casts mottled light spots, which makes this ancient forest full of fairy tale color. Because of the barrier of towering ancient trees, the road in the dense forest was still damp, and we followed the Tibetan to keep climbing. There is a large area of ​​arrow bamboo forest on the road, which is not uncommon in my hometown in Hunan, but it appeared in this plateau area, which caused Tao Wei and the others to scream. There are many green bar trees here. The Tibetan said that the precious matsutake grows on the roots of this kind of trees.This tree is really ugly, not only the trunk is twisted, the branches are like spider webs, but also covered with moss.However, a tree is not what it looks like!It is actually the wealth of Tibetans. It seems that a total of two hills have been turned over, and after a big turn, the eyes suddenly open up.Here, there is a wetland, which gathers the melted water of snow mountains and the water flow of Palong Zangbo River, forming an exotic picture. On the shore of the water, there are jagged trees. Under the trees, there are patches of prayer flags, which are colorful and reflected in the water together with the mountains and trees.Not far away, there are continuous mountains, and the snow-capped peaks behind the clouds are looming. No wonder it is said that Bomi is a small Switzerland in Tibet. The peaceful and pleasant scenery in front of you makes people at a loss for words. No matter how exquisite the urban garden design is, it is not as clear as this naturally generated landscape. Silvery water, green grassland, rows of small trees with yellow or red leaves growing on the grassland, tall green pines and spruces behind, and dark green hillside in the background. We sat on the ground here, laid out the food we brought, and invited the fellow Tibetan to have lunch together.The life of a fairy is nothing more than this!Dining in this beautiful scenery will whet your appetite. After we cleaned up the food, we started to take lots of pictures.Everyone designed a series of shapes in a smug manner, for fear that any corner would be missed. Tired of shooting, we sat down together again.A girl named Lan asked me: "Are you interested in going to the Kachin Glacier? It is a famous scenic spot in Bomi." I asked: "You came from Ranwu, didn't you go to Midui Glacier?" Tao Wei said: "I went. But it was only half way. We have been sitting in the car for a long time, and we don't have enough energy." I said, "Should have climbed it! There are a lot of people running wild on the glacier." After listening to me, everyone laughed. The Tibetan heard about the Kachin Glacier and joined our conversation. He said it was the largest glacier in Tibet. Lan seemed very moved, and then asked the Tibetan: "How long does it take to drive to the Kachin Glacier from here?" The Tibetans replied: "Oh, it will take a long time! Go along the Yigong Zangbo, keep going, pass by Yigongcuo, and keep going." After hearing what he thought was a very clear answer, Lan suddenly felt very discouraged. We all laughed at Lan and said that she should muster up her courage and walk along the Yigong Zangbo to the Kachin Glacier. Going back from here, the distance seems to be shorter than when we came here, maybe the Tibetans took us a shortcut.When we entered the forest, we were indeed a little confused about the direction, and we were secretly glad that we didn't go by ourselves to save the 100 yuan.Otherwise, it is really possible that we have not walked out of the forest after dark, which would be dangerous, because none of us brought camping equipment. Along the way, Tibetans led us to pick and eat berries from the bushes, which were sweet and sour.When we returned to Kaba Village, the Tibetan who led the way invited us to drink tea at his house, which was really an unexpected harvest! His family's house has two floors. Like other people's houses, he also built a fence with wood and stones to enclose a small yard.Entering the house, I found that the house was very clean, and there were colorful patterns on the cabinet. Lan kept sighing that he should get out of the car and walk more, otherwise how could such good things happen to him! I said cheerfully, "Shouldn't you be with me earlier?" The other three men looked at us and teased each other sentence by sentence, expressing that they were speechless. The Tibetans were very enthusiastic and brought us tsampa and barley cakes, and then cooked buttered tea for us. I quickly grabbed a piece of highland barley cake, the surface has been baked into golden brown, just smelling it, I feel hungry.Lan also grabbed a piece, it seems that she is already my fan. With the warm buttered tea and the crispy barley cakes, I was full of gratitude and kept smiling at the Tibetans. He also sat aside and drank butter tea with us.Every time I get along with Tibetans, I don't have too many conversations, but I can feel warmth in my manners. This trip to Tibet has changed my taste.When I went to Jiuzhai that year, I tasted both buttered tea and highland barley wine, and I was not used to the unique taste.But now, whether it is buttered tea, or tsampa and barley cake, I can grab it and eat it, which is sweet and delicious. After leaving the Tibetan home, Lan took out a small Chinese knot from his pocket and gave it to him as a souvenir.He walked us all the way to the car before waving and watching us leave. After returning to Bomi County, we each went back to our rooms to wash our faces, pack our things, and then meet at a restaurant. We had a grand extravagance, and it was probably the best meal I had on the trip, a real feast of delicacies.While waiting for the food to be served, I told Lan the story of the Red Army crossing the grass and a few pieces of highland barley cake.She is a girl who is easily moved, and her eyes are red when she hears it. When the food arrived, our mouths were watering.Stir-fried Tibetan pork slices, almost no fat, we put the sauce on the side and only eat the meat.A pot of savory stone pot chicken covered in my favorite chili.There is also matsutake soup, which is served in a teapot, and the milky soup is quite attractive. This delicious meal gave us a good tonic, and the energy consumed during the journey seemed to have fully recovered. After dinner, we went to the Internet cafe to play for a while. I'm going to march into Medog tomorrow, so I have to study it carefully.
