Every time I go to Tibet on 318, pass Ranwu Lake, and meet Midui Glacier again, I can’t wait to rush to Bomi, the place I always miss in my dreams. Guxiang, this plot started in 2013 and can no longer be let go.
In fact, every time I go there, in addition to having a good sleep, I just want to get a misty morning.
The early morning in Bomi Ancient Township can easily make you feel that you are in a paradise. At that time, the 318 National Highway has not yet woken up, and the Gangspruce Forest Nature Reserve is quietly showing its beauty. Although Jialong Gongmei Gamo Fairy Peak is still hidden in the clouds, we can really smell its extraordinary breath. This is the early morning in Bomi Ancient Township.
I like to walk along the banks of the ancient Parlung Zangbo River in the early morning. Although the riverbanks during the dry season are less majestic, they clearly show the magnanimity that once swallowed up mountains and rivers.
It originates from Ranwu Lake in Basu County not far away and is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River. Whenever I approach it, I will be full of sincere respect for it.
Bomi Ancient Township is composed of many villages, but I have a special liking for Baka Village, where you can not only reap the sunrise and sunset of Baka Snow Mountain, but also have such a quiet morning.
This photo is a memory of me and my brothers walking aimlessly in Baka Village one early morning in October 2016.
We met several beautiful and vigorous horses that morning. Their graceful posture running along the river bank is still unforgettable to me. At a certain moment, I really envied those elves who could run freely on the banks of the Parlung Zangbo River. They were so leisurely.
Look at the scene of spruce trees surrounded by snow in Baka Village, Guxiang. Especially in the early morning, the clouds are like marshmallows. I always feel that I can pick as many as I want, according to reports. People in the village said that going for a walk in the forest and even seeing tree burials would be an expectation for many travelers. But I was very satisfied with the peaceful morning. I was afraid of disturbing the tranquility in the forest, so I never went there.
No matter how we wander around the village or along the banks of the Parlung Zangbo River, we will eventually return to National Highway 318. Anyone who loves the Sichuan-Tibet Line will feel respectful whenever they mention this road. This is a heavenly road that carries the dreams of many young people. It is also the youthful memory of many people, including me. To this day, I still love it deeply.
That early morning, we met a girl who was backpacking on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line. We just smiled and greeted her and did not disturb her firm steps. This was October 2016. If we go forward in time Moving forward to 2013, I was also so tenacious while backpacking the Sichuan-Tibet Line.
Nowadays it is difficult to encounter such a figure, but there are more and more hikers pushing cars and dogs. They are no longer silent walkers. Maybe they have many spectators to accompany them. .
Every time I leave the ancient village of Bomi in response to the call of the mountains, rivers and snow-covered plateaus, I see its memory in my eyes, keep it in my heart, and take it with me on the road. But I never miss the ancient village of Bomi. I always stay at least one night and enjoy the morning.
In my opinion, the ancient village of Bomi is the place where travelers on the Sichuan-Tibet line should stop. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a river on one side. Each village only has a dozen or so households. Today's inns are getting better and better. There are snow-capped mountains, glaciers, rivers and forests that are not found in Jiangnan, but they also have the softness and comfort of misty rain and mist in Jiangnan.
Listen to me, if you are walking on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line, don’t miss it.
