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. 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 )
19. You are sharing the road with
everyone and everything
公路當然是公共的
20. 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
36. Yarlungzangbo Canyon (seen here from the plane), the deepest land canyon on earth,
remains largely inaccessible. Through this canyon, the Yarlungzangbo River
flows south to become the Bramaputra River in India
雅鲁藏布大峽谷是世界陸上最深的峽谷 ( 要走進去談何容易 )
雅鲁藏布江水從這里向南流進印度
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
38. So does Lancang River (the source of the Mekong River)
seen here flowing by the city of Qamdo
瀾滄江源於青藏 . 它穿過昌都城向南流去成為了湄公河的上游
39. … and Nu River (the source of the Salween River which empties into
the Indian Ocean through Myanmar) seen here in eastern Tibet
怒江 也是源於青藏 . 它流經缅甸進入印度洋
66. Religion is a very important part of Tibetan culture
Lama Buddhism (Lamaism) is the predominant religion here
藏族文化和宗教是分不開的
藏傳佛教 ( 喇嘛教 ) 是藏族地區主要宗教
Compared with other forms of Buddhism
Lama Buddhism has some unique practices
喇嘛教的一些特殊的禮儀
67. The inside of each prayer wheel is lined with printed Buddhist sutra
so spinning the wheel is equivalent to chanting the sutra repeatedly
轉法輪就等於不斷地唸法輪里面貼好的經文
68. Their way of paying homage to Buddha is called prostrating
叩長頭是常見的朝拜方式 . 虔誠的信徒會叩上几百里路去朝聖
69. Dagobas 佛塔 , Mani stone pile 瑪尼堆 and prayer flags 經
幡
at mountain passes give blessings to travelers’ safety and luck
71. Circling flock of vultures may signal nearby
sky burial - an old Tibetan practice of feeding the dead
(only the privileged) to the birds to facilitate reincarnation
成群的禿鷹在天空中盤旋 , 附近可能在舉行天葬
72. There are several sects in Lama Buddhism Monks debating Buddhist scriptures
This monk belongs to the currently dominant at the Samye Monastery
yellow sect (tell by the hat color)
桑耶寺的僧人在辯經
喇嘛教派系中最大的是黄教 ( 帽子的顏色 )
73. Friendly monks at Chaka salt lake offering me white silk scarf (Khada) as blessing
茶卡鹽湖畔向我献上潔白的哈達 ( 祝福的絲巾 ) 的喇嘛
74. Tashilunpo Monastery in Xigaze Jokhang Temple in Lhasa
is home to the Panchen Lama 拉薩的大昭寺
日喀則的扎什倫布寺 ( 班禪喇嘛的道場 )
77. Zhandan Monastery in the hills of north east Tibet
bears resemblance to the Potala Palace in Lhasa
索縣的贊丹寺有小布達拉宫之稱
78. Potala Palace in Lhasa (viewed from Jokhang Temple)
The original structure built in 7th century no longer exists. Since reconstruction
in 17th Century, it has been the official residence of the Dalai Lamas
拉薩的 布達拉宮 初建於七世纪 , 自十七世纪重建後便成為歷代達赖喇嘛之住居
79. Standing on top of the Potala Palace feeling higher than the Roof of the World
登上布達拉宮的頂楼 , 給人一種高於世界屋脊的幻覺
80. This night exposure of the Potala Palace is one of my favorite shots
這張布達拉宮的夜景是我最喜愛的作品之一
