Chapter 422 High Altitude Accommodation
As it was getting dark, Song Tang and his team finally arrived at their destination for the day: Anduo County.
Behind their convoy, the SUV that had been rescued earlier was also following.
They were originally going the same way, and with Song Tang's convoy leading the way, they felt more at ease driving behind.
Anduo County, with an average altitude of about 5000 meters and an oxygen content of only 13.5%, is one of the highest counties in the world.
Zhou Jing had already booked a place to stay in the county town early on. It was a small aerobics hotel, and Zhou Jing directly booked the entire hotel.
When they arrived at the residence, the hotel staff saw many luxury SUVs parked outside and knew that the wealthy guest who had booked the hotel had arrived.
The SUV that had been following Song Tang and his team's convoy also broke away from them and continued to drive forward. They also had their own accommodation booked in advance.
However, when passing Song Tang and her team's convoy, the SUV honked its horn to thank Song Tang and her team, and Zheng Long also honked his horn in response.
After parking the car in front of the hotel, Zheng Long asked everyone to get out quickly. Everyone was greeted by the hotel staff and came to the small lobby of the hotel, which was actually just a front desk with some sofas and coffee tables.
"How is everyone doing? If anyone is feeling very unwell, please tell me now. Don't endure it, or something bad will happen." Zheng Long stood in the middle and looked around at everyone.
The hotel's front desk staff also kept nodding.
It is true that passengers with severe altitude sickness often get into trouble in Anduo, so it is right to take precautions in advance.
Fortunately, although many people in the team are not feeling well, it is not a big problem.
Even Zhao Qi, Zhao Rui and Li Wenwen, who were in the worst condition, were fine as long as they had enough oxygen and did not show any serious symptoms.
As it was already late and everyone was in poor health, they simply had dinner at a nearby restaurant on the recommendation of the hotel waiter.
After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel early and lay down on the bed to rest. Song Tang did not live alone today. Qiongying lived in the same room with her.
No one dared to leave Song Tang alone in a room at such a high altitude. Of course, Song Datou also accompanied her.
Song Chuyi's dog was taken away by Feng Bo today, so that Song Tang could have a good rest.
Zheng Long had said before that everyone should just lie down and rest here today and not move. Any behavior that consumes physical energy is not advisable here.
And if you feel unwell at night, you must tell us in advance to prevent uncontrollable situations.
That night, except for people like Zheng Long who were in better health, and bodyguards like Wei Wu, everyone else did not sleep very well. Even in the aerobic room, it was still difficult to endure.
The next morning, everyone gathered at the hotel front desk. Zheng Long and Feng Bo checked the conditions of everyone, including Song Tang, before they felt relieved.
"Today we continue our journey, leaving Amdo early and heading directly to Sa City, the capital of Tibetan Province. The altitude there is only over 3600 meters, much lower than here."
"The journey is about 460 kilometers. If everything goes well, we will be on the road for seven or eight hours. We will grab some breakfast and then set off."
Zheng Long's words cheered everyone up a little, and they were a little surprised to hear that the altitude in Sa City was much lower than that in Ando.
You should know that in the perception of many people who don’t know the situation, Sa City, as the capital of Tibetan Province, should have a very high altitude.
But in fact, the altitude of Sa City is far inferior to that of Nagqu and Ali regions.
Everyone set off after a simple breakfast. Due to physical discomfort, many people, including Song Tang, did not eat much.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Long and Zhou Jing packed some food so that everyone could have food at any time if they got hungry on the way.
They drove forward carefully all the way, and the endless scenery on the road temporarily made everyone forget their physical discomfort. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zheng Long's voice was heard from the car platform.
"We will soon reach Namtso Lake. Does anyone want to take a look?"
After hearing Zheng Long's words, everyone started discussing it, and the final conclusion was that it was best to just look at it from a distance. If Namtso was not so famous, everyone would have just skipped it.
Led by veteran driver Zheng Long, the team found a place from a distance where they could see almost the entire Namtso Lake.
After the car stopped, everyone got out to rest and relax. Whether they were driving or riding in the car, they all felt a little stiff after a long time.
Namtso Lake in the distance is indeed beautiful, which makes everyone feel relaxed and happy.
"Namtso Lake has an entrance fee, so we can see it from a distance for free."
After getting off the car, Zheng Long saw that everyone was in good condition and felt like joking around.
Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, Zheng Long smiled and pointed at the blue lake in the distance and said, "The ticket price for Namtso is 210 yuan, including 110 yuan for the entrance fee and 100 yuan for the sightseeing bus. It's actually not cheap."
"It is one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet and the most sacred lake of the ancient Zhangzhung Buddhist Bon religion."
"Every Tibetan Year of the Sheep, hundreds of believers make pilgrimages to the Tashi Monastery on the Tashiduo Peninsula in the center of the lake."
While listening to Zheng Long's introduction, everyone looked curiously at Namtso in the distance. They didn't expect that this lake had such a background story.
After Zheng Long shared the general information with everyone, Song Tang asked the question that had always been in his mind.
"So, what does this "cuo" and "cuo" mean?"
After hearing Song Tang's question, Li Wenwen on the side happily raised her hand and said, "I know this."
"Cuo means lake, like the Namtso Lake in front of us."
"Yong means jade, so Yongcuo is a jade-colored lake, such as Yamdrok Lake."
After Li Wenwen finished speaking happily, she saw everyone looking at her with admiration. She felt embarrassed for a moment and held onto Zheng Long who was looking at her lovingly.
"Don't look at me like that. It's so embarrassing. This is what Zheng Long told me on the way. You should just look at him."
Li Wenwen's honest look made everyone laugh.
In fact, everyone has basically guessed that this knowledge must have been taught to her by Zheng Long, who was in the same car with her.
Seeing that Li Wenwen was really embarrassed, Zheng Long laughed, patted her on the back soothingly, and looked at everyone.
"There are more than 1500 lakes in Tibet, but most of them are called tsuo."
"There are only six people who can be called Yongcuo."
