A motorcycle, pots and pans, coupled with a laptop computer, this is all their equipment. In addition to guarantee the needs of life, they also take tea, did not forget their favorite tea taste. His name is Zhang Jinlin. She is Zhang Feng. He is 63 years old. She is 59 years old. They are a pair of ordinary couples, while I could still move, they made a "Crazy" move -- riding a motorcycle toTibet. The journey of 9800 kilometers, which lasted more than 50 days, covering 11 4000 meters above the mountain! This special trip, in addition to the realization of their youthful dreams, but also to celebrate Zhang Feng's December 14th 60 years old birthday (folk have a saying, 60 years old birthday in advance), is a memorial to their great love.

����Retired couples circle for many years long-cherished wish

"In May 5, 2012 the first day cloudy long-awaited day has finally come, we be fully equipped for the children, accompanied by seven thirty-eight, rode a motorcycle to start the trip to Tibet, to realize the dream for many years......"

"In May 25, 2012 twenty-first fine...... Thought is coming soonLhasaIn the mood for a long time can not be calm. After 7 hours of effort, we finally came to the dream of paradise at one thirty. The Holy Land Lhasa, here we come!......"

The owner of this diary is Zhang Feng, isGuangxiNational Hospital retired nurse. Starting from May 5th, Zhang Feng every day used to write diary, record the entire journey mood, the story, riding distance, overhead.

Zhang Jinlin claims"NanningLao Zhang ", and Zhang Feng, their young will have such an idea -- ride to Tibet. Helpless, work and raising children took them all the time. After retirement, two people began the journey of romance.

Two people are old, plus a chicken with coronary heart disease, therefore, walk or ride a bicycle, for they are not viable. I decided to buy a new motorcycle, simply packed up some baggage, take Zhang Feng out.

They ride their bikes to theYunnanKunming, viaLijiang,Shangri-LaAnd so on, into Tibet. Along the way, two people like the young man, a young girl, a ride, all the way to play. They avoid the huge crowds of people.TravelingScenic area, select some undeveloped original eco-tourism resort.

Each place, let they left unforgettable memories. Considering the age, they are tired, in the local to find a hotel stay, cook with the pots and pans. Enough rest, they started.

The journey joy, of course there are surprised. Over a period of more than 20 kilometers of mountain road to Tibet and to Mangkam, let them remember still feel scared. "The entire section of the road can only be used by a car, a little inattentive, it may fall on Jinsha River." They can not be estimated between the road and the river in the distance, only know that once the fall consequences be unbearable to contemplate.

The landscape around the steep and beautiful, but they had no time to appreciate. Due to difficult terrain, there is no road, every time you build a collapse of one time, therefore, there are soldiers guarded 24 hours a day.

108 turn, what is my driving test. Turn an uphill time, 60 km; then a downhill again, 40 km...... Compared to other people is lucky, they have not encountered strong winds, heavy snow and rain, on a ride, from time to time there will be snow in their faces, there will also be some smashed on them.

Altitude reaction followed, but not very serious. Lao Zhang said, because this is what they are determined to do things, is their dream, dream although there will be ups and downs, but they do not feel bitter, but very happy.

Tibet simple folk customs. Many local people see foreigners riding, walking on the road, will come forward to gesture: "you need accommodation?" "Are you hungry?" They will take visitors back to stay in their house, took home the best food for them, free of charge, this let old husband and wife were moved.

Along the way, they see the wild camel, the Tibetan antelope, self-assured or supercilious in walking the road, carefree and content. There, the wild animal is prohibited hunting, they live in peace with one another, the beauty of nature makes them difficult unspeakable.

In May 25th, they finally arrived in Lhasa -- which make their dream place. They visitPotala PalaceAre you thereJokhang TempleFirst, look at the Tibetans long kowtow...... In this piece of land, to experience the peace of mind and peace.

����Planning of new in all of China

"Guangzhou�� chord, wish I wish you a happy voyage!" "JiangsuNot the old life "in a signed" red flag Nanning Lao Zhang ", there are a lot of tourists and they the same signatures, they are encouraging the old couple dream.

In May 27th, Mr. Zhang and his wife be reluctant to part from Lhasa. Around Tibet in a big circle, they passed through Kunlun Mountains, no one area of Hoh Xil, Tanggula mountain,SichuanWenchuan return. Along the way the beautiful city is incomparable, these will leave lasting memories in their mind. The whole process is time consuming more than 60 days, the journey 9800 kilometers, covering 11 4000 meters above the mountain. They save money, two people spent a total of 10000 yuan (including buy local products).

Lao Zhang said, in Tibet Road, every rider seventy or eighty. A recent college graduate, there are also many like them retired people, they are all in order to temper themselves, realize the dream.

While the body is hale and hearty, Ching Ming, five one next year, Zhang the couple also was riding a motorcycle to travel all over China, if possible, hoping to ride to russia. (source: people.com.cn)
