Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Have you ever flown to Tibet? Or have you ever taken a train on the Qinghai-Tibet track? If you did so, will you begin to be reminiscent of that childhood when you were indulged to the train trip?
For many years, train becomes a short-trip transportation or a temporary overnight hotel. Take the slow heavy train as a part of the traveling? What a silly thought!
Nowadays, a Qinghai-Tibet Railway makes the travelers who are used to fly to taste the fun of relaxation. One, people would be ashamed of pursuing speed. To catch a flight is only to be anxious to work; to catch a train will be a symbol of nobility.
When you begin the train journey from Golmud by sitting next to the window, the carriage becomes a room which could see the views: Snow Mountain, wild, mellow, flocks and herds and many.
Let everything come silently; let everything go silently, this is Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. You never worry about there is no surprise in the next second here. What you have to do is to put yourself in this painting to see whether your uproarious soul could return to that moment of peace?
Continuous and endless Qinghai-Tibet Railway, take me, take me far away.
The fairy maidens on the roof of the world, the symbolic Buddhist flags blowing with the wind, gleaming monasteries on the lost horizon and the silently walking pilgrims who are seeking for the answers……
I am always wondering who brings the call from the ancient times to me, and who leaves the thousand years expectations? Is there a wordless song haunting my heart, or is that the unforgettable yearn?
Someone is devoted to the power of religion, someone is proud of the magic of science. And those two beliefs are not contrary to each other on this railway which is equally close to the primitive nature and modern civilization
I thought I favor railway always, but, when I saw Tibet, I realized I love the wild further more!
