Day -9 28 from Dali to Lijiang - The Eryuan, Jianchuan places Lijiang Spruce Hotel

The weather has been very good, gloomy, and some light rain. Tiger Leaping Gorge, Lijiang and directly go to eat lunch. Car trip along the Jinsha River with the river is yellow, it seems there are a lot of sediment, water flow is very gentle, almost the feeling of some static, can not imagine it when the momentum flowing through Tiger Leaping Gorge. At Tiger Leaping Gorge entrance of a small town to eat. There is a group for photography, Guangdong people who have been to Zhongdian, and was very envious of this freedom profession can work and can enjoy the beauty of nature, I really wish I could be to have some kind of life. Where a meal bought a beautiful Tibetan-style Gualian, laden with the color of the gravel, it is like the national colors of these highly decorative, but also has a lot of their own. So the whole journey has been wearing it. Some light rain is still overcast days, and our car is circling the mountain along the river bank because of rain in the mountains some of landslides, a number of sand stones from the hills tumbling down and blocking half the road, but also small stones continues rolling. The driver did not dare to open, we had to walk. Tour guide told us to go the middle, not too step aside, for fear of landslides, we can not be too rely on riverside, riverside seem quite steep, and from the destination of Tiger Leaping Gorge there is more than an hour away. Wearing raincoats do not want an umbrella. On the road is slippery, mud everywhere, it seems difficult to find a place settled. It was informed of the best places to go along with cow dung. Shoes covered with mud, and I walk in the front Adon. Turn the corner a lot of Road and saw in front of another one, it seems that no end. Side of the road selling a crystal that is down from the mountains on the mining, small crystal clear, before a money one, would like to come back and buy, etc. Unfortunately, come back have disappeared. Across the mountains there are many small waterfalls, but also in the mountainside yet there are traces of a large in whether to repair a straight to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, a taste of people from a high share of majestic? Think about this scar I do not know how to draw out, how in the steep hills and cultivated a large in it? Go a little tired, and every step, we feel that the mountains to the back, is not the dizzy it? Hill was cloud covered, and be able to see the flow of clouds, look forward or look back, when to draw the line River winds along the mountain, lined on both sides of the mist-shrouded mountains, perhaps, when Reinforced with sunny blue sky and white should be more beautiful, they are entirely different bar. Later, I walked alone in a man, sometimes like a man of action, and perhaps used to it? Found a group of people behind a tractor, a dozen people crammed standing on the top, and later heard him say that quite dangerous, Hill tortuous, tractor again opened faster. Straight was exhausted, as if still constantly turning, not knowing when the ear came the thunderous voice of a vague, is finally up. Imagine what will happen, the water began rushing up, the more going up, drop also is getting up, eager to see the surging waves Tiger Leaping Gorge, and finally arrived, looking down from above, it seems that not that awesome feeling of the the power of mind in doubt whether this is straight of the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Another guy told me the middle of the stone is a stone tiger jumped, and a little disappointed, probably because too far, do not feel that the momentum bar. There is a way to go, tour guides advised us not to go, because slippery, but those who listen to up that would simply not go in vain, and thought can not afford to pay a visit to white, and go on. In addition to the ground when you go on some slippery things, kinda successfully reached the bottom. Finally close the thunder of the. Flutter over the river and the Haba Snow Mountain Jade Dragon Snow Mountain between the narrow Gorge, issued by waves of earth-shaking waves, due to river center stone tiger jumped to block a set off waves again and again, how exciting! This scene has been deterred. Down a wooden ladder, climbed to the bottom of the place, stand one by one huge rock on the foot is the surging waves, the sky light rain, but also all the four rushing toward the water droplets have been shrouded in a mist of a. In the last sound of thunder in the ears, we are jumping in stone photography, you feel that he is very brave. Up until when it is Yingxiongqiduan, and feet like walking on cotton-like, I could not get a little strength, and I feel like vomiting and could hardly breathe come, take three steps pause, and finally to the above, really want a butt sitting on the ground. Return is a downhill, feeling okay to go more. I was thirsty, next to the cliff drops down on the water, mineral water bar, regardless of, and Helehaoji mouth, feeling pretty good. Half went for a long time, there is a small broken car to pick us, we cheered. Back to the car, it was found inside of the fleece has been soaked, and had to be removed and, for a jacket, fewer pieces of clothing, feel a little cold. The first to go to the Yangtze River Bay, a pity that the weather has been late, were dropped. The way to see some slight bright sky, I really wish the next day be able to fine them. Car in the dark mountain road, walking for a long time, and finally to a Wanjiadenghuo Lijiang. Suddenly surprised by how this place is the smoke coming from the Chongshan. In the ancient city of the mouth of a restaurant to eat dinner, eating, watching other people have not yet finished, anxious to see the ancient city, so come out, Wang Libian away for a while. Days have been dark, but generally able to see the ancient style. On the left with a small river, it was in the laundry, pass on a few wooden huts. Almost all shops on both sides of the house or small restaurant, very quiet night. On the fourth day -9 29 hotels in Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Spruce places clear up this day of days had. We live in Metro, the morning also like China, like other small cities, no dasht color. Drove out outside the city, and gradually open up, the sky is still covered with a cloud, but no longer raining, to pay a fine look. Car along a straight driving the way forward, both sides have been slowly all the grass, and not the kind of spring green color, but showing a fall of yellow, dotted with a number of scattered flowers, mostly yellow, there are purple, white, and far from the mountains, some cattle in the eating grass, very relaxed and peaceful look. A trace of sunlight penetration into the windows, vehicle people are cheering and finally sunny, and you can see that the blue sky white clouds of. Gradually some shrubs, and still so vast, so that locality city, across such a concrete jungle in I felt heaven and earth wide. Open the windows, so that fresh air can be blown in, I head out the window, feel some coolness of the wind, so greedily breathe the air, also did not miss this piece of icy scenery. Guides and Ke told us about the story of the Naxi and the Yulong Snow Mountain. Yulong Snow Mountain has been likened to one dressed in armor, riding horses of Yingwu generals can not help but fascinating. Let's talk about again is a pursuit of love Naxi people, a lot of couples in pursuit of free love to run away to the Yulong Snow Mountain, and then committed suicide sentimentalism, go there blissful realm of the world's third go live a happy life, so death for them, was a relief, really want the situation to the depths of death have nothing to fear? Health can not be together after death can not be separated. Really think that ethnic minorities than the Han, more of a natural fearlessness and frankness, and more natural temperament, perhaps also because of the Han more affected by the impact of modern civilization, social and more development, more people from the natural. The first came to the baishuihe, on behalf of a man's river, because in the Naxi, the white on behalf of men, while black represents a woman. Baishuihe water is down from the mountains upstream, clear and cold. Water is the kind of blue-green color, a trace of the following stones, pure unaffected slightest contamination. Washed my face, very cool, the Baptist Heart and the feeling of people. Ake jokes that if the men stand barefoot in the water 15 minutes, you can realize his promise of the willing, a pity that no one dared to brave the bone-chilling water in that one test, I'd like to walk in that water Rosen The. Move on to Yunshan Ping, a high altitude alpine lakes formed after the dry grassland. Cable car ride up, and in cable car Ganhaizi see on the distant sky above the blue line has emerged, but also be able to see the sun and the grass had. Other local governments have also some mist, moving up, the more cold up there. Longer follow the Plank Road on the Yunshan Ping was during a snow shop Montreal Road in the wood. Growth in the South I can say is the first time I saw snow, can not help but delight them. Plank Road on the snow is very slippery, issued from time to time someone exclaimed. On both sides of the grass on the trunk are heap of snow, a vast expanse of whiteness world. Members want to throw a snowball each other, playing in the snow battle, it is in the South can not enjoy the fun. Yunshan Ping is a broad alpine meadows are surrounded by a tree surrounded by grass on a thin layer of snow, and some have been based, and looks like the entire lawn was covered with white flowers. Pingshang many visitors, some wearing clothing of ethnic minorities in the photography; thought also came to stay a moment. Ran in the snow, crying, or feel cold, everybody gets everybody like a child-like, bent on enjoying the pure pleasure. Rent a Tibetan bright cloaks to wear, holding a sword, and consciously like a wilderness like heroes, but the photo was out, everyone said that his wife like a toast, in any case, or the feeling of a bit. Liulianwangfan in this charming Tsubogami, thinking a moment he wanted to go horse riding, can not help but excited. After lunch, take cable car down to our children to go horseback riding through the GAN. Car not stop, there are many people Qian Ma over, Ake for us to talk about a good price, ten dollars a circle. Called off the election of a black horse, horse good as gold. Feel good horse, horses walked slowly, occasionally look at a trot, coming full circle, the stomach actually some dull pain, and then, when riding with the experience gained slightly propped up to some of the body. Think of movies seen riding speeding lens, really want to have run up to run a pity that little black look, even feel too fast, and had to tightly grasp the saddle. Lap, less than enjoyable, so he ran a lap down. Ganhaizi is a highland pasture, grass and the wildflowers in full bloom colors, strange that the autumn of gray not bad here, even the dog's tail grass is pink, and without careful cultivation, there is a blossom in spring time for me to will be more beautiful bar. There are some little tree, far from the fog still shrouded the mountains along the roadside there is a holiday Villa on the leisure to live for a while, riding horseback, running in the hillsides of the display in a run, the more good. Looked like a grass, I most want to do is to set aside their legs Kuangpao some. Dark clouds the sun has almost been dispersed, exposing the blue of the sky, all kinds of blue, shallow, deep, and then some indistinct light, and then some, such as deep-sea-like, the kind with the color board is not out of tune with the camera according to not come out of the blue, only the sky in order to create their own, coupled with blossoming clouds, embellished them, so the ever-changing really can also shwemawa. 10000 Camellia Yufeng Temple went to see, of course, is not a flowering season, a look at the trees, and keep the tree Huhuashizhe photo. Old folk are very warm, come up with apple, walnut, hawthorn for us to taste, and very kindly and in each photo. To live in such a place, what kind of it, calm it, every day and the sky looked like grass. A Po out of a grass slope suddenly appeared in front of us, there are cattle in the eating grass, in such a beautiful and pristine skies, a very relaxed look, really want more people on the cattle to make that good. Next was their cars, everyone was busy photo. Hindsight photos are clear sky laments kept trained on the city's skies are always gray, the people's hearts are gray, so come out to see this blue, most people in a good mood involuntarily up full of joy, full of love for the whole world. Back to Lijiang, to Jade Spring Park, the Black Dragon Pool. Hurry to want to go to old town, a park, what good-looking it? Actually, I'm much to look at, but which is indeed a clear end to the pool. Can clearly see the bottom of the aquatic plants and fish, when the sunny reflect distant Yulong Snow Mountain, the day is not very sunny, can not see the reflection. Handlebar Our Old Town of Lijiang mouth down, free time began. Because this is located in a remote area thousands of years, the Naxi people live and work here, and rarely subject to external influence, so their culture and traditions are well preserved. Here is the most typical and best preserved in an ancient city: Square Street. Some of southern small town charm Square Street, after the river flowing in the room while the anterior chamber before, take the bridge to connect a number of wooden houses from water's edge. A shot residential told me that the door has a "protective homes," the word can go look at houses, so follow him to run several. Are the exclusive small courtyard, very clean. There is a raising of a dog, the owner pulled it we dare go. This is a small courtyard, clean up very neatly, facing the house is now the left is the side, housing is a brick-wood structure, the windows, doors are some of carved decoration, ground is made of stone, surrounded by a lot of kinds of potted plant, there is what Begonia, open to positive-yan. At this point it is the afternoon sun slanting manner according to the small courtyard before the stone, is a very cozy afternoon. Owner is an old lady, very warm smile greeted us, but Nazhi naughty puppy, to keep the threshold at our two strangers cried, did not dare come up. A quiet walk in the ancient city of stone on the road, on both sides of the old old wooden hanging Jichuan red pepper, some people in the chat, and occasionally come dressed in "daytime" shawls Naxi woman, people can not help but envy this town a life of leisure. There are many unique ancient city of small shops, selling carvings, ceramic pendant, and wax-dyed, handwoven cloth, and business is also a very leisurely pace, look came, faint greeting look, bargaining is very peaceful, and will not got angry with you in theory, the business has become the become, not a look does not matter, so I slowly Dangzhe a person, a shop in a shop in a careful and admired. Here, the years slowly flowing, life is also quietly live, these ancient streets, has experienced how much time? How many have seen the human story? This is an old town opposite can not help but be filled with a kind of unspeakable's deep feelings, and my heart was touched with a kind of moving, we have these visitors come hastily, and hurried to go, this leisurely life, naturally can be and can not, and hope, and hearts together even more melancholy. Like Dali, as in the ancient city there are many foreigners come and go, probably a strong Chinese cultural tradition in this place, always have their shadow bar. Is also quite envious of them in this foreign land to find their own love life, at this point, the Chinese people live in the worst, perhaps because of the national temperament and circumstances of ours. Do not go back to eat dinner, and they went to a Naxi Ren-opened "Naxi snacks," walk a plank bridge ride came to hospital, it appears that this is a more affluent Naxi people, there are newly built two-story buildings, listening to host family that has spent several hundred thousand. We asked for a two fried Erkuai, Naxi fried rice, each bowl of noodle, host family's hospitality to each of us Paoshang cup of tea. Listen to tour guide said that Naxi women special abilities, mainly by women to work, while men are more well-being of 1:00, and traditionally is the case, but should now have some change, but anyway, a woman is still very hard, especially in rural areas. Generally, the Chinese ethnic minorities the existence of such circumstances. Yokiyoshi then they are not minority. This is seven dollars per meal. Naxi ancient music at night to see our country's oldest music. Due to the geographical environment factors, Lijiang to the old tunes are all well preserved. There are several places where the ancient city are ancient music to listen to, and we chose one. Entered, the stage have been sitting well with people, more than 10 looks, almost all the old man, wearing a golden robe, a Yilaoyishao look. Performance has not yet started, came downstairs, a strong burst of disco music, watching the front of the class for the elderly, actually had some trance. Show finally started, and a long queue of young Naxi girl announcer. The first piece was made by the Xuanzong "gossip", a dull drum sound up, as if hit into the heart, followed by cymbals, Boring Boring Boring several more seemed to knock out from the ancient times. A variety of musical instruments, ancient Zheng, flute, and could not utter the name of a variety of musical instruments playing together with them. I suddenly felt trembling up, ideas are floating back to the Tang Dynasty palace, dark hall, a group of musicians and dancing girls Tang suit. Throughout the show, impressed me the most is the first song he played, it is a feeling of shock, a ray of rains from the ancient soul. There are several Naxi girl dancers, the simple charm of its own Yi Gu. Back on the road, but also something to eat barbecue in Jichuan and Tibetan yak butter tea, tea is salty, with cheese aroma. On the fifth day -9 30 Lijiang - Lugu Lake, about 400 kilometers through the Ninglang residential homes Moso is a day away. Along the way feels very good, perhaps because the mood to go to Lugu Lake, and the charming scenery of the road bar. On the road to turn the five big mountains, car circling around the mountain road to go around, from a distance to draw the line winding roads like a band-like wound in the mountains, and sometimes one side is a ravine. The hillsides are covered with different colors of wild flowers, with purple, yellow little Daisy, as well as an unknown light purple flowers are swaying in the wind from time to time, some farmers in the ground and crafts, smoke curl in a calm rising of the valley. There are many apple orchards along the way, when is the season of ripe apples, the trees festooned with green or red apples. There are many sold at the roadside, and a few cents a pound. Sometimes cars stop to let us to sing? Folk songs Sacral Duo  B Huai Yun Ji sacrificial victim to steal key hammer tip goblet  Zhi Huang Ti Aye   Sophora japonica quail laid-off gray silk hammer Ti Ao Shu? After Ninglang Yi Nationality Autonomous Region, a woman wearing Yi big hat, is like a parachute cloth, it seems quite heavy, but I would like to either block the sun, and can Zheyu of. On the way to savor the scenery, playing a nap, a day's journey actually do not think very far, and finally to turn the last mountain of the. We are a bit excited, tour guides also told us a lot of time on the Moso tribe thing. Cars has finally come to the door of the lake, and you can see the corner of the lake, and that's it, below there is a pool of green water, lie the mountains. Then suddenly remembered a song "on the mountain lake, is the drip on the surface of the earth a tear," is the mother of the lake, in the gently with open arms waiting for a trek through the mountains and seas after the home of the wandering. Is a goddess, hidden in the mountains, the people have to walk a long way and that, after looking hard to see her shadows of the beautiful things is probably true. Close look at the lake, car again for quite a long time to down. This is the side of the lake surrounded by mountains, the water is very green, very clear, there is no shore, but idly clinging to this land. There are many waterside living in wooden houses to tourists, such as "Moso House", "Moso", as well as being built, does not seem like I imagined so backward. We live in the "Mosuo House", three of a toilet at the bottom faucet is also below, are common. A little difficult than other places, there is no bathing place. To take advantage of time before dinner to go out a walk a bit. The lake was calm, there are several small islands, the other side of Sichuan, is already dusk when the sky has been some bleak horizon, there is touch of sunset. Houses are built along the lake, with the whole root of a wood-built, called Mu Lengfang. Ground has not yet dry, some mud, not Shihai some horse manure. Mosuo people some two-story house, the following pig to live above the people, there are bungalows, but is characterized by a particularly high threshold and above are critically low, man bowed his head to the door to get into. The legend is that the door can block beast, but also there is another way of saying here is that toast surname wood, so to see the wood on the prayer. The program is bonfire after dinner party. Moso tribe men have a woman in national costume, the men's clothing is similar with the Tibetans, a hat, side button of the shirt and then tie on belt and red trim woman is Side Button T-shirt, the Department of a colorful as rainbow-like belt, here he is a white pleated skirt, they are tall, the men wear Tibetan costumes, such as more man; the mettle. First, singing in antiphonal style, Moso women for us to sing the first song, "welcome music" is the kind of unique high-pitched voice of minorities, without the slightest contamination and modification, the mountainous area, simple and natural, is the kind of linger on the 3rd days of dense vegetation also listen to tire of the sound, is the water moisture out of the Lugu Lake voice, a fresh sense of rushing toward us, straight plunged into the mist of dust has been living in the secular heart. Followed by tourists from around the globe singing in antiphonal style, we all screeching voice to sing, whether it will accede to go. The final song is the host suggested that everyone singing in unison, "萍聚" It is unthinkable in such a remote isolated areas, even there are some popular gadgets, we can see foreign cultures awake from sleep skeleton proud of satiation? Forces, and in the Lake, even There is also a Kara OK hall, the so-called popular culture seems to be a gradual invasion of this piece of pure land of the. Kindled a fire in the courtyard, a siren sounded crisp, hand-pull Mosuo men and women to dance. Simple and uniform movements, very good looking. We followed behind the school. Think they learn about it, but also heart itch it, it inserted into the middle of two tall Mosuo men, they also teach us quite a friendly guy who thinks society. With the flute, will take multiple actions, some simpler, but some of the complex and that we will not Guannameduo, pull up bar in the middle of dancing, we laugh and dance as breathless quickly tired of. They jump around in a circle around the fire circle, people are immersed in the pure joy of it. There is no past, no future, only now, jump it, there is such a rare opportunity for people to forget to do everything. 10:00 off the end of party, Moso tribe, said the men and women went home with a smile, is to go and his Axia A note dating. It was early, how can such a beautiful night to sleep early and do? The temporary shed erected a small lake with barbecue food, tour Meet the go. I parked at the shore on a small Zhu Caochuan sit down and watch the stars. Long time no see so many stars of the. Probably in childhood, when seen in the countryside bar. Plateau, but also with very little air pollution, making particular beauty of the night sky here. Numerous shady stars flashing in the sky, the small star, Guangmang great success of the stars, large and small, covered the whole sky. Looked up is in such a brilliant gem-like studded sky, felt himself with it is so close, as if reaching to touch. So wait senselessly looked at those stars, the name of the lake shore in the quiet, distant mountains hidden in the dark, everything is so quiet manner. Now think of it, very sorry that night did not go around the walk and experience the village at night and then take the strange marriage customs. On the sixth day -10 overnight Ninglang 1 Lugu Lake is a sunny weather. Get up early, the sky is a light blue horizon, revealing a trace of the sun's shadow. Eaten with boiled potatoes for breakfast, and went to the lake. Colts have been waiting outside, but also riding it, slowly rode along the lake to the boat where there are already many Mosuo woman letting the clothes. Anxious to wear it long pleated skirt on the lake boating, select a set of wear, but also the Department of Bayao tightly, like "Gone with the Wind" where Scarlett Hao as tighten slender waist. A large, is said to be compiled by the yak tail and hair of the caps, decorated with fake flowers and a string of beads, T-shirt is a gold-rimmed button shirt red inclined, here is a big of a white pleated skirt , and then tied a rainbow belt and a Moso women born. Conscious is inherently a Moso girl-like. To mention a long skirt on the boat. To our boating Mosuo Ajie really knows how to sing, we begin and another person on board only game song, and everyone dig dedication song to sing thought out, and then "brush" is heard is called rival goes on. Usually it will be strange to sing even when the person to suddenly could not think of, but added boating Ajie who came up with a lot of songs to sing, her voice is also very good, but also their traditional singing of "Song of Lugu Lake , "" Flower House Lovers, "" walking marriage songs, "singing the popular" Xin Yu, "" Love Boat Tracker ", we all singing along, a very busy time of the lake, the lake is also a quiet noisy up. The morning sun was rising, the sun sprinkled on the surface of the lake, the lake sparkling, white clouds Gehm goddess of the mountain has left a shadow, Lights and Shadows in the mountains change with, and then the blue sky and floating on the linings in the mountains of a Baiyun, Goddess of mountains appear to be more beautiful, she is the goddess ah Moso tribe. We reached a small island on the lake, "where services than the island", there is a lamasery, "where services than the Temple." Mosuo people believe in Tibetan Buddhism Lamaism. In the Temple three times around the turn of the turn after. There are young or old monks in chanting for homework. Do not know what kind of devotion to day after day, year after year to be here dedicated to the Buddha of his life, for them, and hearts will always have a belief is also a kind of happiness one can know. Modern people, I am afraid that many people have no faith in the hearts of the bar. Under the Rhode Island come back to the other side of another boat songs, replaced Mosuo ethnic clothing, changed back to her, then riding back. In looking around to see if there boys & girls, handsome guy. It was found that possession of a loaded wearing a white T-shirt, Moso tribe handsome young man, so more than cheek to read slower to catch, in this place, Romans do it, people have become bold and presumptuous up. He may have a small head of it, what are registering a. The next program is home visits, and everyone brought some food or something. 1
