Ears muffled chanting along with turning the wheel towards the more distance, burning Sage yellow rammed earth wall, turned into smoke into the pious eye texture, find a hundred thousand turn back into the crowd, only to find a smile. Last time Highland is already a fall two years ago, when the golden leaves cover up the Lama red brick wall, a circle and a circle of devout believers, come and go before turning prayer wheels.
Think of the days in the Highlands, sky is so transparent, white clouds are going to see some. Lake winds of Lake howling wind blew hard buttons, blue water as a lonely, thaw could not miss. This months back, summer, fingertips and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway anniversary day, the beginning of July, ready to go. Wearing Tibetan robes, returning to Tibet, well miss you.

Today the weather is good, the weather is good, our first stop was the famous Kumbum monastery. Kumbum monastery is the first tower and Temple, hence the name taer Lamasery. Located 25 kilometres southwest of Xining city, Qinghai province, lushaerzhen of huangzhong County, the State AAAAA grade scenic spot. Also known as Ta er thar SI Temple, founded in Ming dynasty decades (1377).

Kumbum monastery is China one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, season of this popular special in Mong Kok, group tours and fit many, take a guided tour around slowly, to hear something about the past and present of the Kumbum monastery. Thangkas and sculptures in the temple are very beautiful, but not to take pictures. Legend of Kumbum monastery is also the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism (the yellow sect) founder of Tsongkhapa’s birth place, though Tibetan do not know one or two, but listen to religious knowledge seemed to comprehend what might we learn they share simple. Sitting under a lilac tree looking chanting monks, kowtow devout followers of Voldemort, the monastery through the help of old master, faith seemed to bring a quiet mind.
Thar SI ghee flowers, paintings and embroidery is known as “art.” Tarr Temple murals for the order, has a rich Indo-Tibetan style, drawing on the pillars and walls and drapes. Embroidery is one of the Kumbum monastery is the original varieties of Tibetan art. It with colorful silk cut to desired shapes, such as statues, figures flowers, animals and birds, enrichment such as wool or cotton, embroidered on cloth, hanging in the great Hall of the Kumbum monastery has “18 arhats”, embroidery products, as with murals, colorful, and can never see enough.

Motifs from the custom of Tibetan people. Butter butter mixing colored pigments and flower material is oil made of plastic art. When lunar new year Lantern Festival, art monk will elaborate ghee flowers on display in the temple, has become an annual event in the temple. This time we also lucky enough to see the butter sculpture for the law will fine sculpture, lifelike, is well known for, the above expression patterns were very realistic.
There is a story about making butter sculpture, the Guide says, because the production process will take three months, complex process, monks always do your hands and feet made of people with disabilities, for the hearts of the Buddha that a religious belief. Although not fully endorsed, but feel deep respect for this piety.
Lunch in the tower at the visitor center of the temple area outside to eat, found here is indeed the origin of production of beef and mutton, just plain home cooking meals, eating is still full of flavor. And the rolls are yellow, later also have food to eat. Origin of the lamb is really not fishy does not smell of mutton, as long as full of water boil for aroma, simple dipping sauce is a delicious.
Lunch ended we and another group of friends goodbye in Qinghai Lake, our next stop is the Guide, on the Guide saying: the Guide clearance of the Yellow River in the world. Yellow River is clear? haven’t seen, a high-speed drive, came to the national geological park, located in the Guide. Guide national geopark is based on the natural landscape and geological sites as its main feature, combined with diverse ecological scenery and rich cultural heritage a comprehensive geological park. First stop in major scenic spots, is the Park’s Museum, let us make the danxia landform and geological conditions, had a rough history.
In scenic spots to visit, we need to take the yellow car.

Danxia landform in the first sight of the vast, Yaya’s atmospheric beauty, just where he was standing, are King.
This geology ashigong colorful peaks in the park land of a continuous, colorful; colorful glow gods, infinite; WA Gorge beautiful, beautiful; Babel steep Canyon, magnificent. Soil is the source of all things, beautiful scenery of majestic, colorful peaks was oddly fascinated us ~ so the four of us squad opens the hot sun, under the large rhythms.

Qinghai travel it is important that temperature morning and evening temperature difference is large, breezy day Sun night light should pay attention to apply sun cream or wearing sunscreen clothing or an umbrella, true Sun, Sun is easy to water loss, heat to heat exhaustion will occur. Of course our cutesy, select a hat is a good choice.

Here values are stored for more than a million of precious stones from the country, a large number of stone and massive glaciers and rocks of the Yellow River, shapes, placing landscape and trees landscape formation of a special garden.
Frame picturesque everywhere, enjoy so many interesting stones for the first time, accompanied by a guide shape while listening to stories, also had a keen interest in the formation of stones. The scenic and geological parks make the same association is a boss, due to money. Some stones contain a philosophy of life, deeper than the shape, the original stone classmates or students without a story.
Cats seem to be afraid of people outside the area, cat Yaya always like to use the camera records to meet them ~
Halal kebab is so delicious looking old man relaxed, slow roasted, adept technique rolls out of the fire, for a time, the meat is cooked. The Northwest fire skewers approach seems to be the most authentic.
Nine o’clock without dark string of roadside line, is also the first time. Eating a three-pound weight kg lamb neck lamb kidneys, sheep intestines of sheep ribs, delicious don’t burp ~ ~ me and my friends to eat. …
Forest Park-D3 cambra rongwo monastery
Today the formation of a small line, General car people will choose to get around Khenpo forest park directly. And our special trip today, was at sea, and self-driving tour on foot. How long will this route did not develop, our yacht charter boat tour and only the four of us, enjoying exclusive captain about the treatment. Known as the most luxurious, wearing life jackets, climbed into the yacht cutesy on the second floor, we are a happy and funny than the little yellow guy.
Cambra forest park, pine gap terminal take a yacht tour of the dam, through valleys natural beauty, mount danxia silhouetted against the blue water, the original film is straight out of the United States. What a “clearance make the Yellow River”, so clear and blue yellow rape fields of lush like Brocade, the niyama water hidden deep in the mountains.
Yellow River water from yellow to blue color, is really relaxed and happy, looking at his reflection in the water, and the flight of the wild duck, the clouds keep transform, feels a second drunk oxygen, the air was filled with the cool atmosphere makes people feel comfortable, so eyes enjoy the view from the shore. Full one hour of waterways, entirely too many things.
Yachts need to arrive a driver we place on foot. Waterway tour cambra forest park and unforgettable scenery. Landscape drive after we again feel the beauty of Qinghai, blue yellow mix Golden rape flowers in full bloom, with danxia landform in the red. Scenery was beautiful inside. Remember that I recorded with my phone with the landscape of the small video received considerable praise, calling many people are seduced, beauty in Qinghai province. Really stunning atmospheric scenery, I never see it ~
The Gond, the most characteristic is the Yellow River carp, absolutely no smell road, at noon even arranged for us a wealth of original dishes. My favorite is the soup juice thick fish soup, fish is also very large, fresh meat. Friend eggs here in mind, claiming that this is the most delicious eggs in his memory, with yellow rolls, sitting in the yard enjoying lunch, is a kind of enjoyment.
Drive to the sacred place for Tibetan art regong. First we came to the rongwo ~
Rongwo monastery, is the largest Gelug monasteries in Qinghai province. Rongwo west facing East, building scale, style is solemn, decorative luxury. In the Amdo area, their size, position, influence, Gansu province, second only to the Labrang Monastery and the Kumbum monastery in Qinghai province. Collection of all kinds of art and precious cultural relics in the temple, the regong art of Thangka, as well as five-year tomorrow tomorrow questions given “scenic spot of the western regions” plaque reputation.
Unlike the Kumbum monastery, not many tourists here, the temple is quiet, there are a lot of temples from ancient preserved, original Tibetan style everywhere, turning many of the locals. Underground mark heard is a good steward of all the year round due to kowtow. Meet two shy kids and play with your cat, the language barrier did not Exchange, but they were innocent smile touched me. Under the guidance of instructors, and from the outside, from mountain to mountain, visit the diamond Hall, large hall, living Buddha, Imperial Palace, and so on. Murals, sculptures and Thangka here is more beautiful, had heard of regong art dingshu forefront in Qinghai, deeply felt after the rongwo monastery in this time. Tibetan culture is not only change of dynastic history, generations of art of seal cutting and spreading the same central.
Mandala paintings and Tibetan Thangka similar works of art. This is painting in the circle on the square canvas painting. If this mandala painting decorated with Brocade on the side for decoration, sometimes this happens, painting banners-mandala painting in canvas. Mandala painting has a variety of sites, large 1 meter square bigger, of course, can be painted on the ceiling. Rongwo monastery temple city scale and grow, is formed by the many Tibetan master. Mandala originates from esoteric Buddhism, generally in major law or activities, production, materials are used in the finest natural moisturizer, metals such as gold, turquoise and jewellery. Production process is very complex, and heard artists retreat a few months in different kinds of materials grinding, painting fine lines at the slightest carelessness will be totally lost. There are many masters to make temple city run out of his own life, then absorbed the spirit is also the faith. Any kind of art spread, do not open the focus and dedication of the artisan masters.
Beliefs may be their lives there, and the meaning of existence it ~
End of rongwo monastery tour, visiting the hot tribute in Tongren County Hotel. In Tibet, how can you not try the Tibetan meal. Alley opposite the hotel there is a Mecca for home, natural color of the wood structures, placed like a whole lamb sacrifice, colorful prayer flags, a typical Tibetan decoration. Perhaps because fewer visitors than colleagues, perhaps I was fancy dress costume too with your partner to the Mainland, a group of local children have been with us, but they are so shy, curious look on our side shuffle to hide behind the wall but couldn’t resist secretly watching us. My friends and I were all enthusiastic young aunt, also know their shy, so intentionally play with them for a while-Boo, later being infected by these lovely children, direct propaganda says: take pictures of your aunts, so leave it cheerful three small group photo ~
Tibetan meal is mainly dominated by cattle and sheep, and staple it in patties and bibimbap here is not to be missed are the local-made yogurt and butter tea. Here also does not smell of mutton, potato chips and sand surface, spicy smell of appetite.
Our topic tonight is doing! Dry Burrito, pemmican, dried yak butter tea, dried yogurt, eating is fun ~
