Chapter 143: The Sacred Lake of Namtso
Summer is the best season to travel to Tibet. For those who are afraid of the heat, going to Tibet to escape the summer heat is definitely the best choice. The highest temperature here in summer will generally not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. There is a unique climate zone where snow-capped mountains and subtropical scenery are in common. There is a well-preserved primeval forest landscape, a "natural nature museum" and a "nature green gene bank". There is the world's highest altitude and deepest Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, there are vast grasslands, and there are cute Tibetan antelope, wild yaks and other national rare wild animals.
Of course, summer is the peak tourist season in Tibet, which also means that the prices are the highest at this time.
Muyang rode a maroon horse. Now the horse belongs to him. It is sold for 7,000 yuan and a full set of harnesses have saved Muyang a lot of trouble.
Mu Yang next prepared to ride a horse to Namcuo alone.
The route Muyang chose was not to take G109, but to ride a horse and walk straight through. This distance was about 200 kilometers. Muyang was about to finish it in 5 days and reach Namcuo.
On the second day, Muyang saw the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain.
A vast grassland appeared in front of him. Mu Yang clamped the horse's belly, and when he knocked his feet, the red horse began to speed up. The wind passed by his ears. Mu Yang half-squinted his eyes and closed his mouth, half-lying on the horse's back, and ran hard.
This is the most suitable place for horses to gallop along the way. How can I not indulge in it?
I don’t know how far it was to run out. The horse was tired and Mu Yang was tired too. The horse stopped to rest, and Mu Yang turned over and got off the horse. He lay down on the grass all of a sudden.
Tibet is the closest place to the sun, Muyang lies on the grass with his eyes closed. He enjoys the purest sunbathing in the world, no. It is the sunset bath, because it is already afternoon.
Well, in fact, Mu Yang overestimated himself. He had altitude sickness. In Tibet, it is better not to do such intense exercise. After all, mainlanders are not very adaptable to it. Fortunately, Mu Yang is young.
The horse was walking and eating grass by himself. Mu Yang set up a tent. He whistled to the horse, and the red horse raised his head. I looked at it, then ran over happily, came to Mu Yang, and touched Mu Yang's outstretched hand with his lips in a coquettish manner.
Mu Yang took out an apple from the space and broke it in half, put it in the palm of his hand, and the horse sensibly took it with his lips, and then chewed it up. Mu Yang picked up the other half, bit off most of it in one bite, and started to eat it.
On the first day after entering the grassland, Mu Yang used taming techniques on the jujube horse. At that time, the main reason was that the horse would run away secretly while sleeping at night, and that would really become a hike in this vast Tibet by himself.
You know, Mu Yang's worry is not redundant. Animals have an instinct to find a home. Who knows if that herdsman will be waiting for his horse to run back at home now?
Mu Yang stroked the horse's cheek, and the red horse nodded happily. "Go to play by yourself, don't run far, you must come back before dark." Mu Yang said.
The horse seemed to understand Mu Yang's words, nodded and turned around and ran away.
In fact, it is not that the horse just understood Mu Yang's words. It is not that the horse is so smart that it is just the most ordinary Tibetan horse. However, the taming technique is indeed somewhat magical, which can actually let the animals understand Mu Yang's meaning and execute this command.
Of course, they are too complex and beyond the ability of animals, but they are definitely unable to complete some simple things, such as Mu Yang's command just now, and they can fully understand and execute them carefully. This is already very rare for animals.
This is mainly because of the horse's IQ and ability, and it can only be achieved to this extent. I guess if I encounter smart animals, such as parrots, monkeys, etc., I guess I can accomplish more.
I cooked a pot of dishes for myself in a pressure cooker, took out some convenience food and two cans of beer from the space, and it was a pretty sumptuous dinner. At least this standard is definitely a good meal in the wild in Tibet.
On the third day, Muyang used GPS to find out the route and arrived at Yangbajing, located on the southern edge of Gula Mountain in Nianqing.
Arriving here means that Muyang's journey is nearly halfway.
Yangbajing is located north of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, which is 5,6,000 meters above sea level. The tops of the mountain are covered with snow all year round. After entering the basin, the entire earth is filled with heat, steam is burning, and there are geothermal outcrops everywhere, and boiling springs, hot springs, hot springs, hot water lakes, and water-heat explosion holes can be seen everywhere.
This place is already a key tourist area, so there are many tourists.
Mu Yang led the horse and looked around, felt the hot spring bath in Yangbajing, and then had a full meal at a nearby restaurant at noon, rested comfortably for one night, and continued to set off the next day.
On the fifth day, Mu Yang finally arrived at Namcuo.
The beauty of Tianhu Lake is shocking and touching the soul. The north shore of the lake is the continuous foothills of the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. Although it is summer, the top of the mountain is still covered with snow.
There are many tourists taking photos by the lake, and there are some small tents built by locals for tourists to stay, as well as some small tent-style restaurants. However, Muyang is really worried about the hygiene here.
Mu Yang patted the big head of the jujube horse: "Let's find a place to play by yourself. Remember to come back if you have enough food." The grass on the lakeside plain is good and natural forage. Mu Yang believes that the jujube horse will eat enough by himself.
Namcuo means Tianhu, Linghu, and Shenhu. It is a famous holy land of Tibetan Buddhism. Believers respect it as one of the four powerful lakes and the temple of the Tantric deity Viagra Vajra.
Mu Yang took out his camera and took photos everywhere. The sky was blue and blue like cotton. The color of the lake would make people feel shocking. When you stand by the lake, you feel like you are in a blue world, light blue, light blue, gray blue, royal blue, deep blue and deep blue black, clear blue, blue plump, and charming blue.
A Tibetan man was holding a yak in the camera, blocking Mu Yang's vision. Mu Yang put down his camera, and the Tibetan man came over and said in stiff Chinese: "Come on a photo, ride a yak to take a photo."
Mu Yang smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I'll just look at the scenery."
Mu Yang raised his camera and prepared to continue taking pictures, but the man blocked Mu Yang again. "Come on a photo, ride a yak to take pictures."
Mu Yang now realized that he probably had met a local person who forced his business.
"What price?" Mu Yang asked.
"Eighty, ride a yak to take pictures."
"What if I don't take pictures?"
“Then you can’t take pictures here.”
Mu Yang felt a little unhappy, but then he thought, there were such things everywhere now, so why bother to be angry?
"Goodbye, then." Mu Yang said goodbye to the man and turned around and left.
