On the first day, Wenjie and the others bought all the necessities, and the next day they discussed going to Lhasa to walk around and have some fun. So they picked up Jiangdong, and a group of more than ten people went out in a van and drove to the Tibet Museum.
go.
It took less than ten minutes to drive from the museum to the Potala Palace. We stayed here for more than an hour taking photos, and then drove to Zongjiao Lukang Park.
After coming out of Jokhang Temple in the evening, everyone found a restaurant to have something to eat, and then wandered around Balang Street.
This Balang Street is all about selling souvenirs and ethnic customs collections. It is also one of the famous tourist spots in Lhasa. It surrounds the Jokhang Temple and is called a "holy road" by Tibetans. It is also called "Bajiao Street" or "Bajiao Street".
Barkhor Street".
There are many types of ethnic collections and supplies here, such as Tibetan incense and Tibetan knives, religious items, clothes, shoes and accessories, which dazzled everyone. Jiangdong walked silently behind everyone, admiring the various products on both sides of the street and watching everyone's
Movements to prevent any unexpected situations. After all, it is his responsibility to protect everyone's safety.
While walking, Jiang Dong saw a shop with a counter of snuff bottles. He walked in and took a look and found that the small bottles had various paintings inside. They were very attractive collectibles. The mouth of the bottle was
The top lid also snaps tightly.
Jiang Dong came up to him, and the shop owner immediately came over to chat with Jiang Dong and asked Jiang Dong what kind of pot he liked.
In the end, Jiangdong picked two small glass bottles without paintings inside. The boss laughed at him because he didn't know the taste and didn't know how to appreciate. In fact, Jiangdong didn't buy these for fun, but to contain spiritual liquid. He mainly wanted to see the bottle and its appearance.
The tightness of the bottle mouth.
Walking to another street, everyone stopped in front of a house. Because the door of this house was designed to be very low and out of proportion with the house in the yard, it looked particularly awkward. We all discussed it one by one.
Why is this happening?
"Huh?" The female doctor who gave Jiangdong the fruit knife on the train was named Gao Yuan. She kept seeing that Jiangdong was not integrating with everyone, so she shouted to him: "Jiangdong, tell me why?"
Jiang Dong had been following everyone at the back, silently, and did not participate in any of the conversations. At this moment, when he heard the female doctor calling him, he couldn't help but take a look at the door.
"Sister Gao, this is just an old house from the past. The surrounding houses have been renovated many times, so it will inevitably be different from other houses." Wenjie said at the side.
Jiang Dong said calmly behind everyone: "This facade was originally designed like this to prevent zombies who are standing upright and unable to bend down from entering, so the door is deliberately kept short."
"Brother! Aren't you stupid? You can tell such a vulgar joke? Why don't you talk about zombies?" Gao Yuan said with curled lips.
"Brother Dong, you were wrong this time. There are savages and monsters in this world, but there are absolutely no zombies." Wenjie also said.
Jiang Dong did not defend himself and said calmly: "This is just a local custom in Tibet. Whether there are zombies is another matter."
Everyone laughed and continued walking forward, shopping until very late before returning to the hotel.
The next day, according to the customized plan, the whole team drove five off-road vehicles and vans, left Lhasa in a mighty manner, and began a long scientific expedition trip.
This scientific expedition is divided into three stages. The first is from Lhasa along the Lhasa River to the Brahmaputra River, and then west to Chawu Township, Lazi County. The second stage is from Chawu Township to the foot of Mount Everest, and eastward along the Himalayas to 204
The provincial highway then takes the 307 provincial highway to reach Yamzhuo Yumco. The third stage is to inspect the lakes here, as well as Namtso and other lakes to the north.
The convoy traveled along the Lhasa River and the Brahmaputra River to the west, stopping and stopping along the way. At each place, everyone began to collect samples, measure data, and record images nervously and orderly.
Since there were no densely populated areas along the way, the expedition team spent most of the night stationed in the wild, wherever they went, then set up tents and lit bonfires, brought out the food and drinks purchased in advance, and gathered in a circle to eat.
After drinking, we have to do a few small games and programs to drive away the tiredness of the whole day with a cheerful atmosphere.
During this expedition, we need to study and record the various animals and plants discovered, and study their behavior, growth, and living conditions. Especially for new species, we need to collect specimens and record them in detail, and make new descriptions and new distribution areas.
and new behavior records, as well as conducting local humanities surveys in various villages and towns along the way, which can be said to be a lot of things.
Jiangdong didn't understand these biological inspections and couldn't help, but he couldn't be idle, so he helped with some chores, always keeping in mind the main purpose of the trip.
On the eighth day, the team arrived in the Shigatse area. It was planned to leave the river here and head to Mount Everest along the 318 National Highway. However, everyone seemed to still have unfinished business with the Yarlung Zangbo River. There were many things that had not been investigated, so they temporarily decided to continue westward along the river.
, when you reach Chawu Township, turn south and enter the Everest Nature Reserve.
Shigatse City is the first choice place to stay. We plan to stay here for two days to wash away the dust and refresh ourselves and purchase supplies before setting off on the road.
The Shigatse region has a vast territory, a mild climate, and a wide variety of animals and plants, including a large number of national first-level protected animals. However, although Shigatse City is the transportation center of Tibet, its area is only the size of a county-level town, and its population is only 150,000 to 60,000. Among them are
Sixty thousand people are immigrants.
Going south from here, you can reach Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world, going north to Nagqu, east to Lhasa and Shannan, and going west to Ngari. The inconvenience is that there is no railway here. Although there is an airport,
It is not for civilian use, so you can only take a car when going out or traveling.
Shigatse is a famous tourist attraction in Tibet. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters, vast grasslands, many lakes and rivers, and fresh air. It gives people a sense of returning to nature, so it is inevitable for everyone to visit here.
Wenjie, Gao Yuan and other young students spent most of their time in the school's laboratories except going home every year. It was a rare opportunity to travel around. Fortunately, there was a street just south of the Sangzi Hotel where they stayed.
The big market made it easy to purchase supplies, so they quickly finished their work and then discussed where to go the next day.
We say we are going out for fun, but in fact we are just strolling around the city, appreciating the local customs, tasting local snacks, and buying some souvenirs that we like.
In the evening, everyone came out of the pedestrian commercial street and entered a Tibetan nightclub. This nightclub is different from other places. The decoration inside is all Tibetan style. The waiters wear Tibetan costumes and carry Tibetan silver cups. The guests
Sitting cross-legged on the wool carpet, drinking milk wine and eating barbecue, and enjoying the local Tibetan singing and dancing, the warm ethnic atmosphere is very rich!
As soon as they entered the store, everyone was attracted by the scene here. They sat down one after another and sang, danced, laughed and drank together with the strangers inside!
It is Jiangdong's responsibility to protect everyone's safety. He has been sitting back and quietly paying attention to everyone's movements.
In the midst of laughter, female Dr. Gao Yuan could no longer contain her excitement and couldn't help but go on stage and sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". Her high and resonant voice and beautiful lyrics shocked everyone and they couldn't help but stand up.
Singing in time with her brought the atmosphere to a climax!
After singing the song, Gao Yuan came down from the stage amidst everyone's applause, sat next to Jiang Dong, and asked, "How was it?"
Jiang Dong smiled and showed an approving smile: "You deserve to be called Gaoyuan. You can sing very well. You can't tell it!"
"That's right! I'm the lead singer of our school performance team!" Gao Yuan said proudly.
Wenjie came over and said, "That's right, no school event can be held without our sister Gao!"
"Drink your bar!" Gao Yuan pushed Wenjie, "You are everywhere!"
Wenjie raised his glass and shouted to everyone: "Come on, let's drink to Sister Gao's song!"
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses.
After draining the wine in the glass in one breath, Gao Yuan put down the glass and smiled slightly at Jiang Dong: "You guys have fun, I'm going to the bathroom."
After a while, while Gao Yuan was going to the bathroom, Wenjie said to Jiang Dong: "Brother Dong, have you noticed that Sister Gao seems to love chatting with you!"
"What's wrong? Isn't everyone like this?" Jiang Dong said disapprovingly.
Wenjie smiled mysteriously and said, "But I think she treats you differently from others. She always has that kind of energy."
"What is it like?" Jiang Dong didn't know what Wenjie was going to say. He seemed to be asking him or not.
Wenjie laughed a few times and looked at Jiangdong mysteriously, with another kind of light shining in his eyes, which was very meaningful.
Jiangdong was about to say something else, when Gao Yuan's cry came from outside the hall. Others couldn't hear this sound because of the music, but Jiangdong accurately captured the sound waves. This was by no means a normal cry, more like a cry for help.
!
Jiang Dong stood up suddenly, startling Wenjie next to him, and asked quickly: "Why are you going to Brother Dong?"
"Follow me, something happened on the plateau!" Jiang Dong didn't pause at all, and immediately ran out following the voice.
When he came to the bathroom corridor outside the hall, Jiang Dong first saw a burly man grabbing Gao Yuan's arm and pulling her into his arms. There were several onlookers beside him, looking at Gao Yuan with smiles.
Jiang Dong took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the strong man's wrist, and pushed him back. Although he couldn't tell how much force he used, he pushed the strong man back and staggered two steps back.
, then Jiang Dong stood in front of Gao Yuan and looked at the strong man expressionlessly.
Wenjie also ran over. After standing still, he asked Gao Yuan: "What's wrong, Sister Gao?"
