到顶了！！！Khunjerab pass, 海拔 4,693 米（15,397 英尺）约华氏零下5度，比神山还高，打破自己到达最高的记录。刺骨的寒风让人想抱团取暖，微微的高原反应让人一刻也不想逗留。不知约千六百年前的大德和我的是否心情一样？这里是巴基斯坦和中国交界。中国最西边的城市就是喀什。和攻顶成功的文安合影。–1
Reached the top!!! Khunjerab Pass, at an altitude of 4,693 meters (15,397 feet), around 5 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, higher than Mount Kota Kinabalu, breaking my own record for the highest point I’ve reached. The bone-chilling wind made us want to huddle for warmth, and the slight effects of altitude sickness made us not want to linger. I wonder if the great masters from about 1,600 years ago felt the same as I do now. This is the border between Pakistan and China. The westernmost city of China is Kashgar. Took a group photo with my teammate Boon An after successfully reaching the summit. —1
和攻顶成功的队友合影。
这是古老的丝绸之路。这条公路是世界上海拔最高的铺装道路之一，穿越喀喇昆仑山脉，接近红其拉甫山口。由于其高海拔以及艰难的施工条件，它常被称为“世界第八大奇迹”。在修建过程中有一千人因此丧生！图中是中国迷队友－－Ang
This is the old silk road.The highway is one of the highest paved roads in the world, passing through the Karakoram mountain range, at near Khunjerab Pass. Due to its high elevation and the difficult conditions under which it was constructed, it is often referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World.1000people die due to the construction!!!
巴国丝路会绕过的。
The Silk Road in Pakistan will bypass it.

在巴国遇到自己国家的人，总会特别兴奋和热忱打招呼。他们为美景及清真食物方便而来
When people from Malaysia meet fellow countrymen, they always greet each other with great excitement and warmth. They come for the beautiful scenery and the convenience of halal food.

秋天的古丝路。看来，幸苦的路，还是有滋润的。
The ancient Silk Road in autumn. It seems that despite the hardships, there are still moments of refreshment.

到了 Gilgit:
这里发现了约5－6世纪的法华经、药师经，堪称是最古的佛经残片
吉尔吉特是丝绸之路上的重要城市，佛教通过这条路从南亚传播到亚洲其他地区。 同行Dr Yong 、静仪、文安、天龙及 Ang 实景合影。
Arrived in Gilgit:
The Gilgit manuscript , including Dharma flower sutra, Bhaisajyaguru Sutra and etc dated back to 5-6AD, is archeological verified as the oldest Buddhism scripture
Gilgit is an important city on the Silk Road, where Buddhism spread from South Asia to other parts of Asia via this route. Took a photo with Dr. Yong and the bridge.

Gilgit:
它被视为一条佛教走廊，许多中国僧侣曾沿着这条路前往克什米尔学习和传播佛法。我们的团员阿里和Yin在集市购物。
It is considered a Buddhism corridor, along which many Chinese monks came to Kashmir, to learn and to preach Buddhism.Our group member Ali and Yin was shopping in bazaar.
Gilgit:
根据记载，两位著名的中国佛教朝圣者法显、玄奘、宋云等曾经穿越吉尔吉特。我们的团员Magdeline正在集市讨价还价。与对我衣服感到好奇的路人合影。
Two famous Chinese Buddhist pilgrims, Faxian, Xuanzang,Song Yun and etc, traversed Gilgit, according to their accounts.Our group member Magdeline was bargaining in bazaar. Photo with the passer-by who are curious over my cloth.
Gilgit: Napura Buddha
根据中国记录，在公元600至700年代，这座城市由一个被称为“小勃律”的佛教王朝统治，他们是虔诚的金刚乘佛教信徒。这或许解释了为什么纳普拉弥勒佛不是健陀罗风格。与Cash Tan合影。

出发到 Gilgit 之前：
试了一顿席地而坐的传统 Hunza 人餐宴。住所是用来避开寒冬的。Hunza靠近中国，说明了为何看到饺子。招呼丝路的商人到家里住的习俗，也说明了为何玄奘等大德为何不用在网上 book airbnb 就可以住上“长年累月”。
Tried a traditional Hunza meal, seated on the floor. The homes are built to withstand the harsh winters. Hunza is close to China, which explains why we saw dumplings. The tradition of hosting Silk Road merchants in homes also explains why great masters like Xuanzang didn’t need to book Airbnb online to stay for extended periods.

Hoper Glacier in Hunza ：
在旅途中偶遇来自卡拉奇的游客，并被邀请喝茶拍照，确实让人想起玄奘等高僧大德，他们因穿着独特也常引人注目，或许在那个时代也成了类似“网红”的人物。他们的风貌和行为不仅吸引了周围的人，也成为了不同文化间交流的桥梁。这样的交互无论古今，都充满了奇妙的缘分与文化碰撞。
During the journey, we had a chance encounter with tourists from Karachi, and were invited to have tea and take photos. This reminds me of how monks like Xuanzang might have become “celebrities” in their time due to their distinctive attire. Their appearance and actions not only attracted attention from people around them but also served as a bridge for cultural exchange. Such interactions, both in ancient times and today, are filled with fascinating connections and cultural collisions.
