Ten years memory of Tibet！十年忆西藏---第一站，青海湖

My first trip to Tibet was in the summer of 2007, it has been totally ten years already. How time flies! I was changing my job at that time, so I got a short break before starting a new job. I dreamed to visit Tibet for a long time, so I could not wait to pack my staff and started my first journey to Tibet.
我是在2007年夏天第一次去西藏，到现在整整十年了！当时正好换工作，中间有一段休息时间就迫不及待的带上背包去了向往已久的西藏。

I made an appointment to meet my other friends in Xining, Qinghai province. We tried to adapt to the plateau climate there first, so we decided to stay Xining for one more day, we wanted to visit Qinghai lake, and then taking the train to Tibet.
和几位朋友约好后，我们觉得可以在青海西宁先适应一下高原气候，顺便去看看青海湖，然后从青海坐火车入藏。

The second day, we rent a car heading to the Qinghai Lake. It was a beautiful sunny day! Blue Sky with white clouds, which were so low and you felt you could reach those clouds. Herds of cattle and sheep on grassland. And there were golden Cole Flowers on both sides of the road. They were over dozens of miles. It was refreshing!
第二天租车去了美丽的青海湖。湛蓝的天空，触手可及的云朵、牛羊成群的大草原。路两边有金灿灿的油菜花，漫延数十里，非常的心旷神怡！

The water was so clean and calm there, reflected by the blue sky, you could not tell where was water and sky！ Cole Flowers were everywhere around the lake. The air was full of the fragrance of flowers. The time stopped at that moment!
清澈宁静的湖水，映衬着碧蓝的天空。水天一色，看不到天际线！整个湖被油菜花包围着，空气中充满了花香。时间凝固在那一刻了！
