The preference for Geelong stems from the unique visual experience in the hinterland of the Himalayas, which declares a natural landscape far beyond the daily experience of ordinary people with the green and vitality of the gorge. It subverts our inherent vast and flat sensory experience of Xizang and the plateau with obvious vertical steps and lush vision such as snow peaks, alpine shrubs, forests, villages and pastoral areas.
Originated from its lung-rich historical blood and religious humanities. Geelong, hidden in the hinterland of the Himalayas, was once the most important section of the Downey Ancient Road, the main post road leading from the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, from which Wang Xuance made several missions. Lotus peanuts, Princess Chizun, Adixia and others all entered Tibet from Geelong, which opened a magnificent and splendid road to Buddha. Milarepa was also born here. Therefore, it can be said that Tibetan Buddhism in Xizang started from Geelong.
As the "three virtues in the lower part", the Gongtang dynasty, which originated from its magnificent and splendid old country civilization, once stood tall in the vast world of western Tibet, just like the Guge dynasty in the upper part of Ali since the post-Tubo era. In addition, Gurkhas invaded Xizang three times in Qing Dynasty, and Geelong was the main battlefield. "The history of more than a thousand years is rolling around here, and many major events in Tibetan history have taken place here, and its political and religious historical figures will meet here. The glory of its historical sites and the fall of its fate are surprising and lamented. "

Leaving the national highway, when leaving the 318 highway, the car drove west to the road of Geelong, and the sunset in the west cast a heavy shadow on the brand-new asphalt-paved plateau highway, with the texture of bronze metal. The grass with white spikes was outlined by the sun. When you stop, you can feel your own figure, stretched into a dry and slender shape like a trunk by the sun, and thrown straight into the undulating horizon in the distance. Although it was the end of April and the beginning of May, at an altitude of 4,600 meters, the wind was still a little chilly, scattered hay was pulled by the wind, and fine dust formed wavy lines on the ground. Pei Kucuo appears on the Yuan Ye in front of the field of vision, and its blue water body is very obvious in the main color of the yellow ground, like a leaf, floating from top to bottom in the suspension between heaven and earth. Not surprisingly, she is exactly the same as I imagined. Like a girl I met in my dream, she has a familiar posture, hair, face, eyebrows and even the same clothes and makeup, which gently covers your eyes staring at her.
In the Xiaomala Mountain Valley to the north of Pekucuo, the asphalt road leads to Kongtangla Mountain Pass in the right hand direction, which is also an ancient road that passed through the mountains from Tang Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. On the left hand side is the dirt road leading to Mala Pass, which was built with the help of PLA troops after the democratic reform in Xizang. It is this road that ended the history of no roads in Jilong County. Now, the brand-new road leading to Geelong has been changed from Kongtangla Mountain. Geelong said that the ancestors were still powerful, and the ancient road they took was still beyond our modern people in the end.
It is already on both sides of the driveway in the early summer, and the snow is still several meters deep. The thick "snow wall" reveals some ferocious and biting chill, which is surprising and frightening. This is a "masterpiece" left by a continuous blizzard in the spring of 2012. For this reason, the traffic between Geelong County and the outside world was interrupted for 42 days. At the beginning of the blizzard, Sun Lijun, the current county party secretary, and Zaduo, the county magistrate, were directing disaster relief. Then, except for some areas of Jilong Town in the south, foreign materials can barely be imported, and foreign materials such as vegetables in the northern part of Jilong County can’t be replenished at all. The cadres in the county survived most of the spring by storing potatoes and yak meat.
For Geelong, it is a common thing to close the mountain due to snowstorm. Now the government and people have made emergency measures and plans, but this situation is still like making a small footnote to "the last secret land of Xizang". Below the Kongtangla Pass, on the steep hillside, the winding highway turns and turns through many bays, and then extends to the foot of the mountain, leading to Zongga Basin surrounded by mountains. Zongga Town, the county seat, is located on the basin, and the distant snow peaks stand tall and stand upright, reaching into the sky, and the snow-capped mountains such as Qiangla, Qiaogula, Riwu Bamba and Peiku Gangri are arranged in turn. These snow-capped mountains divide Geelong County into snow-capped mountains with narrow south and wide south and high north from the natural landscape.
Looking down from the Kongtangla Pass, the Jilong Valley in the mountains is like a fuzzy shadow line, wrinkling and winding in the mountain. The altitude here is not particularly prominent. However, without this mountain and the Mala Mountain to make up for the gap between a series of main peaks in the middle Himalayas, the northern and southern sides of the Himalayas are likely to be completely connected. It can also be regarded as the starting point of the northern part of Jilonggou, which I have long admired. One mountain connects the northern and southern sides of the Himalayas. To the south, it is a subtropical climate zone created by the warm and humid airflow in the Indian Ocean, and to the north, it is the alpine world of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
It should be said that Geelong, which is located in the middle part of the Himalayas, has this special landform and natural geographical feature, which is precisely due to the strong geological tectonic activities in this area. The intense crustal movement "Himalayan Movement" which broke out about 30 million years ago made the Qinghai-Tibet region complete the transition from sea to land, and then opened the prelude to the majestic plateau uplift.
