2 In the summer of 2007, I spent 3 weeks traversing
the Qinghai – Tibet regions of western China in a 4 wheel drive vehicle, braving altitude sickness, harsh weather and road conditions. It was my second visit to Tibet. I want to share with you my experience, through images I captured with my camera. 2007年夏天, 我第二次進藏, 有幸乘越野車游歷青海-西藏高原,克服路途和天氣的困難, 拍攝了沿途的景色與我眼中的當地風情, 現與大家分享.

3 红線是路途的全程 從西寧開始 直到珠峰大本营
The Red Line is the route traveled from Xi-Ning, Qinghai to Mount Everest base-camp in Tibet 红線是路途的全程 從西寧開始 直到珠峰大本营

4 The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
With its glacier-covered mountains seen here from the plane, it is often called the Roof of the World due to its high altitude (average 4,000 m or 12,000 ft.) 鳥瞰冰川縱橫的 青藏高原 (平均海拔四千米 有世界屋脊之稱)

5 The recently completed railroad into Tibet - over rough terrain
穿山越嶺的青藏鐵路

6 vehicle with a local driver 我們的座駕 - 越野車
I chose a 4 wheel drive vehicle with a local driver 我們的座駕 - 越野車 rougher but better experience 駕車雖比坐飛機或火車辛苦 但给我留下回味無窮的經歷

7 Much of my trip was driven on unpaved dirt roads
旅途中大部份時間都是在土路上行駛

8 Dirt roads are dusty 土路往往沙塵滚滾 you may wish for rain 下點雨就好了

9 which you may regret 结果下雨路更糟

10 Mountain roads are usually winding along hillsides
彎彎曲曲的山路繞着山邊向前伸延

11 along rocky cliffs 沿着懸崖峭壁

12 as if you were flying in mid air 天塹險路
View while driving as if you were flying in mid air 天塹險路 Scary if you look down 胆小的不要往下看

13 One of us has to yield 誰先讓?

14 Improvised traffic sign
(reads “blow horn”) 最原始的交通標誌

15 Where bridges are not sturdy enough for cars …
這橋絕對無法行車 …

16 … the only way to cross the river is …
那… 就祗能這樣過河….

17 Of course not every attempt was successful
當然不是每次都成功

18 Even paved roads can be hazardous
新修的國道就一定安全嗎?

19 You are sharing the road with
everyone and everything 公路當然是公共的

20 小心別撞到沿途叩拜的信徒 including these pilgrims who prostrate themselves all the
way to their sacred destinations 小心別撞到沿途叩拜的信徒

21 This vast grassland called Kekexilli along Kunlun Mountain is home to
these Tibetan antelopes almost poached to extinction for their luxurious fur 崑崙山旁的可可西里大草原是藏羚羊出沒的地方

37 China’s mighty Yangtze River originates from glacial melt
similar to this one in the Qinghai – Tibetan Plateau 長江源於青海的冰川
