The seventh documentary of life in Tibet: a city without trees

Before I came to the plateau, I seldom looked at the map. I just wanted to look at the map of China and the world. Since I came to Tibet in June 5438+last year 10, I have been staring at four maps (China map, Sichuan map, Ganzi map and daofu county map) on the team office wall almost every day, and I actually like to look at these four maps over time. Because I seldom pay attention to provincial maps, state maps and county maps, I soon found that Ganzi Prefecture accounts for nearly half of the province and shiqu county accounts for nearly 1/2 of Ganzi Prefecture, so I began to yearn for this place inexplicably. After all, I am from Xinjiang, the largest place in the country.

When I learned that I had the opportunity to go to Shiqu on business, contradictions and excitement haunted me, because there were too many legends about Shiqu, and curiosity overcame my worries. With the things below, I went all the way west.

Along the 3 17 national highway, all the way to the west, the scenery on both sides is very good, but I dare not enjoy taking pictures too much. I'm worried about carsickness and altitude sickness. I sat quietly, just looking at it with my eyes and marveling from time to time. The master driver is very skilled and drives fast and steadily. Nearly 500 kilometers away, it takes more than 7 hours to pass through Luhuo, Ganzi, Manigango and Dege, all the way to Shiqu. There is also a very rugged Panshan Road, which makes it difficult to get on the wrong bus. I admire the master's level! On the way, I heard many stories about this place from the leaders and colleagues of my peers. I especially remember the construction of Ganzi King Gelsall City, the fame of Manigango and the history of Dege. Walking on the smooth highway, I listened attentively to the beautiful Ga County telling the story of Queershan Highway construction that started at 195 1, which made me particularly moved. It is said that it took China People's Liberation Army only half a year to build this road with the most rudimentary tools and flesh and blood, and Queer Mountain, the highest mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet line, is therefore famous in the world (I am thinking of the construction of Xinjiang Tianshan Duku Highway and the martyrs' cemetery standing in Jorma). Then there is Manigango Township. I remember she said Manigan 'gou. After checking the information, I know that it is Manigango township, which is a very famous township.

The road to Shiqu looks sunny and the top of the mountain is soft. Unlike before, all the top of the mountain must be covered with strange stones and towering snow peaks. The Yalong River in the valley is just a gentle river, with herds of cattle and horses eating grass and sleeping, each doing his own thing. The broad mountains on both sides of the road are endless, and the road is very flat, but it is very curved and long. After driving for a long time, the vast mountains are endless. Every time you cross a pass, you can see the endless white road winding to the horizon.

An important feeling of entering shiqu county is that this county is so big! This place is so flat! For an instant, I vaguely felt that I was walking on the 2 18 national road from Yili to Urumqi: spacious, cold and sparsely populated. A straight road, walking for a long time, finally arrived at the destination at dusk.

The first time I stayed in a hotel with oxygen-making equipment, after all, it was at an altitude of more than 4200. My inner feeling is curiosity or inquiry. Fortunately, my state is better than I expected, and the symptoms of altitude sickness are completely within my tolerance.

Early the next morning, I went out to shiqu county. Fortunately, I wore a lot of clothes, and the weather on the plateau was really unpredictable: July actually made me feel the cold in winter, and I wandered aimlessly in the street, curiously recording everything with my camera.

We came to Shiqu in midsummer, which is the most beautiful and comfortable day in Shiqu. In real winter, the temperature here can be described as extremely cold. I admire people who persist.

Shiqu County has a continental monsoon plateau climate. Low temperature, long sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, no absolute frost-free period. The main disaster is snowstorm. The average annual temperature here is -7℃, and the coldest time is -45℃. The unique plateau climate and nomadic tribal culture have shaped the beautiful and splendid natural landscape and human landscape of Shiqu. According to reports, the average annual temperature here is -7℃, and the coldest time is -45℃.

Because this day is the opening ceremony of Shiqu tent carnival, children dressed in grand costumes gathered in the street early in the direction of the venue, deeply attracted by their costumes, and captured several children along the way. The clothes of people here are obviously different from those of Dawu. Although they are all Tibetans who are more than 500 kilometers apart, their differences are obvious.

In the process of walking, I found that the name of this street was named after "Jinniu". As a soldier aiding Tibet, I naturally thought that the pairing place here should be jinniu district. From the residence, turn right along Jinniu Avenue. Walking in the square circle, the streets and buildings on both sides are magnificent and full of charm, praising jinniu district's counterpart assistance and achievements.

The unique plateau climate and nomadic tribal culture have shaped the beautiful and splendid natural landscape and human landscape of Shiqu. Some people can't talk about stone canals and don't know the size of grasslands. The nomadic production and life style living on aquatic plants has formed 18 primitive nomadic tribe-Sun tribe. The settlement of the stone canal is mainly tents, and of course it is mainly pastoral areas. Tents have various styles and characteristics, but cow hair tents are the main ones. Shiqu tent enjoys a high reputation in Tibetan areas. I don't know if I didn't see them. At first glance, it was really shocking.

The short and hasty trip ended in the early morning of the third night, nearly 9: 00 p.m., and it was nearly 500 kilometers from Shiqu to Dawu. Shi Peng drove alone and arrived at the county compound at 4: 00 a.m.18. I haven't had such a night tour for many years. Along the way, I opened my eyes wide and tried to accompany my master. Under the illumination of the headlights, I saw three white-eyed foxes, a white wolf (I didn't know until Teacher Peng corrected it), a vast galaxy full of stars, and a huge and magnificent starry galaxy on the plateau. In shock, the constellations I knew before are inseparable. After watching it for a long time, I found the Big Dipper, so close and so unreal. Altair and Vega are on both sides of the Milky Way, each with a heartbreaking sound. I am very glad that my exhausted body is still interested in enjoying these natural beauty.

Thankfully, I spent 27 hours in such a high-altitude area, enjoying the fighting capacity of Ga County, the hospitality of my brother units, the strength of jinniu district's aid to Tibet, the beauty of the Sun Tribe, the grand carnival of Zhaxika Prairie ... I met a reporter from CCTV 13 and recorded an interview for the Shiqu Development and Reform Bureau. The only CCTV news channel reporter in my mind is.

You must go to the stone canal when you have the opportunity. You can see the vast grassland, the magical Mani wall, the Zhasika grassland where prairie dogs and eagles alternate, and the huge tent sea on the grassland. And most special: there are no trees here! There is not a tree in shiqu county! Have you ever been to such a city?

West, west, all the way west, through the "Sun Tribe" stone canal, into Qinghai, close to my hometown-Xinjiang. The great rivers and mountains of the motherland are vast, which is well worth our careful visit! !
