Road trip to Tibet, Day 3—Going to do something horrible!!!

Again, my most favor photo first~

This morning we come back to Serta Larung Nangten Lopling again! We want to listen the sutra-debate , but seems we came too late...

Although we miss the talking battle, but we found another battle !Guess who will win the battle?

It’s more magnificent when see closely, all the houses are small, and maybe just one bed inside.
They have the public bathroom , and cause easy to get cold and hard to get water, they take shower less time per year
They have diet in temples.
So they just need a bed for sleep in their houses.

Guess what is she doing?She is tasting the wall! 
Why? Cause they heard that the wall taste like the cream!

Then we go to a horrible place to do something horrible!
Here is the Sky burial ground, Serta is maybe the only one place allow people to watch the Sky burial, that is a funeral in Tibet !When someone dead, let their body eat by vultures!

Inside this building, its wall and roof are full of skull  !full of skull  !full of skull  !(something important must say three times!)
And you are easy to touch them cause there is so narrow inside !
I didn’t take any photo and video inside because I feel that is not polite for the death people!

And this one, the black all hairs! Our leader told us, if we put our hair here , we will get a chance to
metempsychosis ! So I put 1 piece of my hair inside!

The Sky burial is at 1:00pm,now still early, we walk to the hill and wait!
On the hill , there is many many marmots, you need to give them food, and they will go out front their hole !They are so cute!

We are waiting for the Sky burial, they also waiting, they are the vultures!

They know almost start , so all fly to here!

Start! Run! They are going to have there lunch!

Actually! The smell is not good when standing there, full of corpse stench , someone almost vomited  !

Road trip to Tibet, Day 2---The Guanyin Temple & Serta Larung Ngarik Nangten Lopling(观音寺和色达佛学院)

Picture first ~my most favor picture today ~

Enjoying our road trip! Keep going ~

We arrived a very famous Guanyin Temple, most Tibetan believe the Guanyin always blessing them , so when you come in ,you will find many Tibetan pilgrimage here, They always keep silence and mutter the lection.

A long stair , it's hard to climb the stairs when you at the high altitude district.

White Pagoda, behind this beautiful name, actually , they are tombs.

Many stones writing the Tibetan, they are all blessing word.

We walk in the temple , and can't help ourselves to keep silence .
We sit down on the floor same as them, a Lama give us each one a hada(哈达）--a piece of silk used as a greeting gift among the Zang and Mongol nationalities.
We listen their lection, although we can't understand any more.
We look around the internal Temple, there is so solemn.

Prayer wheel.

Do you see the monkeys ? They don't like the monkey in the zoo, they are so free.
We holding the food and they walk to us ! once they get the food, they run away fast!

Another amazing thing is our car stop by cattle, many cattle .

Serta Larung Ngarik Nangten Lopling, is the largest Lama School in China. Everywhere is red, houses are red, Lama are red, Temples are red.

If you want to come in ,just can walk or take the bus, you can't drive your own car inside ! we choose to take the bus to the top ,and then walk down.

Here the altitude is 4040 m, is the most high in these few days, someone already have altitude sickness, like headache.

Remind , if you don't want to have altitude sickness, you need to drink the Herba Rhodiolae(红景天) two weeks before , when you already in the high altitude district, drink it is useless. and don't do many sport, keep lazy , every day just eat and sleep ,like me , how sprightly in my whole trip ~

So beautiful when the lights turn on ~In order to take this video , I hold my hand for a long time under the coooooold weather ! When finish this video , my hand already freeze...

In the high altitude district, is very cold , and easy to sick , so our leader told us many times don't take shower tonight, easy to get a cold. But I can't help myself to take shower, if I don't take shower, I can't sleep , and fortunately , I am still very health ~

Road trip to Tibet, Day 1---the earthquake memory & first time taste buttered tea !

Finally , I start my road trip to Tibet , where I want to go many years ago . In my college period , many Chinese liked walking to Tibet or by bicycle ,even now , still can see some people cycling to Tibet .

You can see many flat like this in the whole trip ,it have five color , is a culture of Tibet , use for blessing.

I join a small group in this trip , include the leader ,just 5 people , is easy to get close with small group ,and we 5 in similar age. Another, 2 Inner Mongolia uncle follow our group , total 7 people.

The first stop is Wenchuan Middle School(汶川中学). In 2008 , there was a destoryed earthquake in Wenchuan, and this Middle school stop the time at that moment .
When we visit this ruins, we talk about our memory at that time , Peng said when the earthquake happened, they were still in classes , and when their teacher found the earthquake , she asked all the students stay in class. I was surprised and said "why ask you stay in class ?! when earthquake happened we should go to somewhere open field ,right ?!"
I just can said , before that earthquake , many Chinese have less earthquake knowledge, especially in villages.

Left there , we keep on the trip , a strong fog in front of us !

A village we take rest , this is one of their building , someone taking rest under stairs , their life are so peace !

We found a very old bridge , how dangerous it is !!! How they go through this bridge at the past time ?!

Most of their cars/trucks have many ornament , that's used to keep their safe.

Danba Village, a tribe who build the houses with a special style in mountains , when you drive enough high ,you can get a great view for the whole village.

The hotel we stay tonight , a full of ethnic flavor hotel , I like it !

And our dinner also with ethnic flavor ~

This is the buttered tea, a famous tea in Tibet , it have two taste , salty and sweet , this time we try the salty , it taste......I think I will like the sweet more .
