去看神奇的布达拉

原本在泰国时，我和一个来自香港的朋友约好未来有机会一起坐青藏铁路去西藏看布达拉宫。但因为疫情干扰，我们的计划被迫取消，我只得独自出发。火车票花了600多元，也算是一笔不小的开支。我买了从成都出发的硬卧夜车，路上遇到了两位前往兰州的女生。我们聊得很开心，她们还和我分享了自制的抹茶蛋糕，在愉快的交谈中，我不知不觉进入了梦乡。

During my time in Thailand, I had made plans with a friend from Hong Kong to travel together on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway to Tibet to see the Potala Palace. However, due to the pandemic, our plans were canceled, and I had to set out alone. The train ticket cost over 600 yuan, which was a significant expense. I bought a hard sleeper ticket for an overnight train from Chengdu, and along the way, I met two girls going to Lanzhou. We had a great time chatting, and they shared their homemade matcha cake with me. I fell asleep unconsciously during our pleasant conversation.

第二天一早，当火车即将抵达兰州时，我和她们告别。车程继续，我进入了有供氧设备的车厢。在车上，时间似乎过得特别慢，我拿出电脑整理工作文件，阅读书籍，听音乐，看到窗外的美景时还会忍不住用相机记录下来。

The next morning, as the train was about to arrive in Lanzhou, I said goodbye to them. The journey continued, and I moved into an oxygen-equipped carriage. Time seemed to pass very slowly on the train; I took out my laptop to organize work files, read books, listen to music, and occasionally take photos of the beautiful scenery outside the window.

到了午后，因为无聊，我开始在车厢内四处走动，与其他乘客聊天。发现几乎每个人都是自己坐火车来西藏自由行的。大家在火车上交流分享食物，聊家常，气氛格外轻松愉快，大家似乎放下了身份和背景的包袱更加真诚地交流。最终我抵达了西藏，天空异常蔚蓝，空气清新，紫外线强烈。我先是乘坐公交车到达了第一家青年旅社，那里的环境有些破旧，洗澡不太方便，于是住了一晚后换到了另一家。

By the afternoon, out of boredom, I began to walk around the carriage and chat with other passengers. I found that almost everyone was on their way to Tibet for a self-guided tour. Everyone shared food and chatted casually, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, with everyone seeming to drop their social masks and engage more sincerely. Finally, I arrived in Tibet, where the sky was incredibly blue, the air was fresh, and the ultraviolet rays were strong. I first took a bus to the first hostel, which was somewhat rundown and inconvenient for bathing, so after staying there for one night, I moved to another.

这家新的青旅氛围活跃，每晚大厅里都是人声鼎沸，大家聚在一起喝酒聊天。正是在这里，我的西藏之旅才真正开始。在西藏的第一家青年旅社仅停留了一晚后，我搬到了另一家氛围更为活跃的旅社。这里每晚都是人声鼎沸，大家聚在一起分享旅行的故事和经历，我也从中得到了去阿里、山南、日喀则的旅行灵感。

The atmosphere at the new hostel was lively, with the hall bustling every night as everyone gathered to drink and chat. It was here that my real journey through Tibet began. I moved from the first hostel to another with a livelier atmosphere, where each night was filled with the noise of people sharing their travel stories and experiences, giving me inspiration for trips to Ali, Shannan, and Shigatse.

从青年旅舍出发，我加入了一个小团，连司机一共七个人。三位来自东北，一位四川甘孜，另一位大姐跟我同样来自成都。我们一行决定踏上这场非凡的旅程。一想到这趟旅程终于要前往心心念念的阿里、珠穆朗玛峰那被誉为神的净土，我就无比兴奋。旅途中，风景一路壮观，我穿越无垠的荒野和连绵的山脉，见证了天地之间那清澈的湖水和广袤的天空相接的美景。阿里不仅自然景观令人赞叹，其深厚的文化底蕴和宗教信仰也让我深感震撼。在当地的一座古寺前，我遇到了几位热情的藏族牧民，他们邀请我参加了一个小型的祭祀仪式，这成为了我此行中难忘的经历之一。

From the hostel, I joined a small group consisting of seven people, including the driver. Three were from the northeast, one from Ganzi in Sichuan, and another woman from Chengdu, like myself. We decided to embark on this extraordinary journey. Thinking about finally visiting the holy land of Ali and Mount Everest filled me with excitement. Along the way, the landscape was spectacular; I crossed vast wilderness and continuous mountain ranges, witnessing the stunning scenes where clear lakes met the vast sky. Ali’s natural beauty and deep cultural and religious significance were truly awe-inspiring. At a local ancient temple, I met several warm-hearted Tibetan herdsmen who invited me to participate in a small sacrificial ceremony, making it one of the most memorable experiences of the trip.

离开阿里后，我转向山南。山南地区以其丰富的历史遗址和壮丽的山川河流而闻名。我游览了雅鲁藏布江的河谷，参观了历史悠久的萨姆耶寺，感受了这座最古老的寺庙所蕴含的宁静与祥和。山南的村落和田野间，简朴的生活和热情的村民让我对这片土地产生了深厚的感情。

After leaving Ali, I headed to Shannan, known for its rich historical sites and magnificent landscapes. I toured the Yarlung Tsangpo River Valley and visited the ancient Samye Monastery, feeling the tranquility and peace that this oldest monastery exuded. The simple life and warm villagers in the villages and fields of Shannan deepened my affection for this land.

接着，我前往日喀则，这个地方因宏伟的扎什伦布寺而出名。寺庙的金顶在阳光下闪耀，壮观的建筑和精美的壁画让每一个角落都充满了故事。在日喀则，我还有幸参加了一场当地的节日庆典，跟着藏族人一起跳舞，尝试了传统的青稞酒。

Next, I traveled to Shigatse, famous for the majestic Tashilhunpo Monastery. The golden roofs of the monastery shone in the sunlight, and the grand architecture and exquisite murals made every corner full of stories. In Shigatse, I was fortunate to participate in a local festival, dancing with Tibetans and trying traditional barley wine.

这一路上，无论是阿里的荒野，山南的古寺，还是日喀则的节庆，每一处都给我的旅行增添了难忘的章节。西藏不仅是一次身体的旅行，更是一次心灵的洗礼。返回那个热闹的青旅，我满载而归，带着无数珍贵的回忆和故事准备分享给每一个朋友。
