With just a backpack and some basic necessities, an 80s-born young man from Shijiazhuang spent 40 days hiking across Hoh Xil and finally arrived in Lhasa, fulfilling a long-held dream.
On July 8, Zhang Chang, a young man from Shijiazhuang, set out with his dream and longing for Tibet, teaming up with a fellow traveler during the summer vacation. The two of them traveled to Tibet together, preparing to hike across it. They took a train to Golmud in Qinghai, where they began their trek. Over the course of more than 20 days, they crossed the Kunlun Mountains — known as the “Ancestor of All Mountains” — traversed Wudaoliang, an area with an average annual temperature of just 5.5°C and dubbed the “Forbidden Zone of Life,” climbed through the Stone Forest-like Fenghuo Mountain, and after a hearty drink at the source of the Yangtze River in Tuotuo River, they finally ascended to the world’s highest highway: the Tanggula Pass at an altitude of 5,231 meters. This is the kingdom of Tibetan antelopes, the magnificent Hoh Xil, and eventually, they reached Lhasa.
