3 / 242,001 Xiaoyuzhuanyin Quwang Panzhihua when I hand the train, sitting in Chengdu, South Railway Station waiting room, I still can not believe this is true, so I will go to the coveted Spring of Lijiang Chengdu gray face was, it is conceivable to the Yunnan-Guizhou plateau, the bluest of blue sky and white clouds, so I decided to go there looking for a sunny spring, their itinerary will also set at the end of March. Had intended to own a person as a back Duxing Ke, there are friends do not trust a girl to go out like that, so I decided two girls attended.
When the train finally starting to wake up instantly what he was doing. We sat opposite a couple from Panzhihua, they heard us talking about Lijiang, so it gave us the initiative has made a lot of suggestions. I do not know that there is a country boy, from his perspective must also be dressed like tourists from the Panzhihua via Lijiang. We chatted a few simple and learned that he called william from the United Kingdom (No wonder so shy), but some Chinese are not. So we invited him to accompany us to Lijiang.
Night, I lay sleeping cars, trains and rickety, my heart and seemed to be rocking with the train, do not know the trip can bring me what in the end.
Lijiang, I finally have to come!
3 / 252,001 Qing
Morning, the 8:05 train finally arrived in Panzhihua, and the weather turned fine, and the rising edge of Tianyang through the clouds, the sun speckled the Jinsha River. The blue sky, in Chengdu, it is impossible to see. We had a couple pairs of Panzhihua sought out the help of a bus bound for Lijiang, on the bus when the vehicle has a foreign couple, and they told us that they come from the United States (This is what Americans and the British difference, Americans are willing to take the initiative to chat). Our luck has not very good, retro buses and my age is probably similar to just getting out of the station soon, drivers and bosses also have trouble, the car stopped at the half-way, on strike. After a long time, all the people on board have begun to anger, and finally the driver and the owner was on a good, and the car then hit the road. This time only to find the window next to me there is no glass, cold wind straight inside the shrub. William is sick, we have a way to take care of him. In a station, the car has to stop soliciting, will come up 6,7 person, look quite right, opened the car for a while then stopped at one to a police, put the 6,7 of all personal call has been stifled. Later, before the driver told us that several people are robbed, we almost became that they caught. This delay most of the day in the city of Panzhihua.
The driver a little bit crazy, the way the car drives very fast, I am a bit impressed, so a broken car can actually achieve that kind of speed, this can not is not a miracle. After the car into the Yunnan Province, traffic sharp decline in dust. There are several very advantageous, from near the cliff looks down at the valley where you can see the villages and the beautiful terraces, leisurely, quiet, like a dream. Of dust is just confused our Gray-headed gray face, dirty buses, such as retro.
After nine hours of bumps, we finally at 18:00 more to Lijiang. From the station to the old town is still some distance, william very tired, probably because of cold reason. Only when we arranged for him before he decided to relatively large number of foreigners living in the vicinity of Square, so he chose the cherry house. (Sakura house owner is Sichuanese and wife is Korean. Where there is accommodation, there is a very good bar, is the city where the best bars.) We then want to find quiet spots and decided to look for friends of the people and homes. Looking for a long time finally found and found that large door locks, the original and the hospital has been turned into a tea. We also help the local people to find a very clean inn. (Ancient inn was very clean, there are 10 yuan to 60 yuan a person's range. There is no separate toilets have very good public bathroom).
We bath, immediately the house. Walk in the ancient city of stone on the road, looking up at the stars in the sky, I think the unlimited unreal, perhaps all this is really only a dream. Just a passing thought of a small village, there is sunshine through the clouds, the golden beam of light scatter on this piece of the gods favored land. That extended the walls of the Ewha bunches, then the river through the village, the original really is a paradise for.
The advent of night, lying on the bed inn, as if the whole world in sleep, quiet a bit frightening, a little hum drum.
3 / 262,001 cloudy with sunny with strong winds
7:00 increased, but feel the whole city has not fully regained consciousness. Open the sunny windows, the sun planted a golden light. Lijiang weather very obvious, clear or sunny, overcast or clouds blossoming, and even every cloud can be clearly seen, so can not expect the weather in Chengdu's. Our old city where aimless wandering, stumbled quite accidentally into, I do not know from that went to a little door into the garden, green willows, red peach, covered bridges lying, as if southern courtyard. Some people told us to buy a ticket before they know that this is a wooden palace. Wooden palace is the toast of Lijiang Mu's office and accommodation, the present wooden palace was restored after the earthquake. Wooden palace built entirely modeled on the Imperial Palace in Beijing, there is no museum's majestic, magnificent rivers and lakes but another more gentle charm.
Out of wooden palace, we wandering around aimlessly. Sun Jinhui sprinkled in ancient quartzite on the road, there are Naxi, elderly people sitting leisurely roadside sorption Han Yan, the air there is a peaceful atmosphere everywhere is the King. I would like to sit in the sunshine as the day must be very wonderful.
Occasionally encountered on their way william, and he is gone some way, just go buy a postcard sent to post office in a distant friend. Always feel that their hearts have a lot of ideas, but a sudden I do not know what to say in the end. Buying postcards of the time, met a person from Beijing, we casually chatted 2, he went to Lijiang has been for several months, we have a lot of questions you want to ask him, and then found a place sit chat. People say that Beijingers chat called Kanda Shan, this way, I understand what McCain, and very able to boast of. Exactly he had two friends over, invited us to go with them Yuhu village, take a look, we have also agreed.
Line of five individual packets of a small car to break away Yuhu Village. Yuhu Village Jade Dragon Snow Mountain an extension, he had been a botanist from the United States, where Locke lived for 28 years, wrote a book about Naxi book, it is probably also the world's first comprehensive description of this nation's book bar , the history of the Chinese people actually to write by a foreigner. Pack the car will only send us to the dirt road on the way Take the present refused to take us into the ground, and there is no way, only 11 way bus ride, and go! Down the valley windy, and the wind is very large, almost to the entire swept away. Gone not long encounter a tractor, the owner very good so that we get a free ride in the past. Yuhu Village is a very old villages, it seems isolated, there is no commercial atmosphere of the ancient city of Lijiang, there is still a virgin land, the local villagers are also very simplicity. The style of housing is the most ancient appearance, with mud and wood construction, and occasionally a few from the pear head stuck from the ancient walls, there are the elderly and women sat in Naxi roadside rest, from time to time be able to hear several more barking cock , very quiet. We are across the whole village was originally planned to go to Yuhu look at, but the wind is too great, and I abandoned the original plan back in time. Points the way back even bigger and going very hard.
By the time Lijiang, have been the wind and the sun is not presentable in dire straits. And they broke up only after time has not discovered earlier, because tomorrow, wanted to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it must now go to the bank to collect the money. Rush to the bank, the ICBC has been unable to off-site ATM card, so we can only try to use the bank's card, did not think it was because of illegal operations, ATM eaten, and everyone is dumbfounded, the banks have closed, and there is no way that only tomorrow, say that again.
Inn on the way back, passing and the hospital decided to go take a look. There Naxi girls ran for our initiative to introduce this garden. And the hospital is now the best preserved ancient city of Lijiang, a four-and five-yard garden, and once the toast of the wood's consort prince lived land. (Naxi people are different couples room.) Because not many tourists, the girls invited us to sit the house, invited us to tea. Yunnan tea is good, taste unique, first bitter sweet, pleasant fragrance, can people forget the day's fatigue and trouble.
Back to the Inn, and washed later found across the room came a few guests, then run past and talk to them. We are all young people is very easy to get along. All three of them come from Shenzhen, and just came back from Zhongdian, Lijiang, intends to leave tomorrow, go back to Shenzhen. We chatted for a while, they invited us to a small cherry house sit, we did not do, so go along.
Sakura House in the Square Street not far away, the boss was a Sichuanese and wife is a bit Korean, where the atmosphere was very good. We went to after they encountered two other friends, then sat a seven large table. They are also graduates will soon be out of work young people, we talked and laughed very happy. After a 12-point, guests are still many, including a table, sang a song children, everyone clapped and add to the fun. Thanks man walked only know that he is coming from the Lugu Lake Mosuo people, because the work of Folk Village in Shenzhen, tomorrow we must leave this place, so very much the reluctant. In a unanimous call is small, he tells everyone sang a branch Moso tribe Zhujiu Ge. Late in the evening, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and return it.
A night without words.
3 / 272,001 sunny, cloudy, light rain, sunny morning, the sun has been up and shines into the room, a bright, out of the door to go, they would understand what is cloudless. Sky-blue jade, clear and transparent.
Early in the morning, they ran to bank processing card things fairly well, as long as the ID card you can get into, but also considered a sigh of relief, but dare not make a withdrawal of the Dragon. Thus, I went next to the bank to collect the money, the original bad things are dual to, ATM machine the piece of bloody Peony Card is also eaten Fortunately, banks are open, only a withdrawal of the counter.
Then took the money, how can it give such a good light, so quickly jump on a bus bound for the Yulong Snow Mountain. In the cableway station rented clothes and oxygen, the following irrigation. Great ropeway ride straight 4506 meters, the mountains were snow-capped barbed human eye could not open. Sunshine is very good, as if from the sun close to the rental of clothing did not use. Can continue up the hill along the Plank Road, Plank Road next to the glacier, it seems very close to very close, given the diamond crystal of the icicle light. High altitude, the road is very difficult, not to mention mountain climbing, and Move on do not think angry. Go halfway, suddenly surging, the temperature just get down, when we climbed to 4686, it was already running out of gas. Is not encountered such a high degree, so that ice would be very crazy people, some people actually want to there, nude, scared the people around straight tongue. Halfway down to start Playing in the snow, believe it, directly sliding down, really fun, but pants can not stand. Down the afternoon, when windy, and the wind is very large, blown straight cable car shaking, people feel a little scary.
Way back and ran the next day and bought a ticket to go big, give a lift to a stationery store and bought a couple dozen pencils. Because the first day, then a few friends from Shenzhen to tell us that Tiger Leaping Gorge is a very poor place, where the children go to school is difficult. Tiger jump in the vicinity of a primary school, there are many foreign friends go there and contribute, but the Chinese did not appear, they are regarded as the first batch to go where the Chinese. We have heard the sad, we would have had not much money, can do much, so only a little stationery to go. If one day you are going to Tiger Leaping Gorge, please go a little stationery.
Come back later, the bathroom can not be used, and only waiting. Bubble green tea, end of the balcony to get up. While thick black clouds, distant thunder rumbles, it began to rain came. Sitting on the balcony, I see strands of rain drift across the sky, across the roof, I saw across the roof of a lonely swallows, as well as a flock of pigeons flying over the sky. This feeling, this scenery, I am familiar with, but it is not seen for many years, the hands can feel the cup of green tea, the temperature, the air of soil mixed with green tea fragrance, everything is very calm. A will, wind, cloud has dispersed, the sky blue again exposing more of the bright and clean. And friends to go out in a small river to find the one small restaurant to eat, there is the old style. Eaten rice, scattershot Guangzhao, do not know what to look for.
The evening, Square Street are playing and dancing, music has long been sounded. All surrounded by circles, understanding, and do not know, Abdullah starting hands, around the campfire, followed by that ancient Naxi girl jump dance. The sky bright crescent, music, sound into a laugh. We jump from scratch, tail, long time no such Earned dripping felt.
Playing jump over, went to Sakura house found a seat to sit down and ask the boss to look at the guest book. Here is really a United Nations, what kind of text can be seen, but I alone was found inside the Chinese is the least, so uncomfortable, took a pen to write his diary the day the above. Next to the guests to see, and asked for a Naqu see, see us go to Tiger Leaping Gorge, said he went to, you can give us suggestions, so we pushed a table. Lijiang is one such, where the experience for all, if you want you can go up approached, no one would refuse. There are no frontiers, no place differences, all people can become friends, if you need help, there will be many people willing to help you. That person told us that he has come to Lijiang more than a month, and intend to have Zhuxia Qu. Lijiang has an indescribable charm, can help make a stay to stay, there are so many people there for a long time. That person talking all the time, their eyes have always been free, do not know why. Is not to stay in Lijiang for a long time people have very sad thing, but seems like a very lonely, so always put myself as a Lijiang pass, pull some new visitors to chat, it seems very willing to meet friends, but Maybe it is only an in-depth heart lonely. I do not know should be the envy of, or sad for them.
Back on the road, Lijiang has been to sleep, as we all did not speak, only accompanied by the stars.
3 / 28 2001 cloudy, sunny morning, 6:50 on the up and rushed to bus stops, or seems a bit late, but the car is still waiting for us. Only to find a car on the train only four individuals to go big with. Seated a look, one of which is in the Yulong Snow Mountain is not a camera person to help us do? The world is really small. Turned out that they, too, want to go big with, and then on foot Tiger Leaping Gorge. Finally leads to the big with 10 points, we decided to eat walk, they seem very familiar with this place, took us to a snow flake. To sit down and a chat, before we know the girl was coming from Singapore, that is a local boy, is her guide in Lijiang. The mountain we ate lunch, we hurried rush to crossing, and from there crossed the Jinsha River. From the mountain road down to the valley is a strategically located and difficult, and very slippery, but fortunately some people lead the way, we go about points, but few of us girls still walk cautiously, before finally down to the ferry.
The Jinsha river here is very narrow, the river seems to Jade, across the go, then started uphill, we tired out of breath. Passing through the small village one by one, it seems that paradise. More than one hours later, we finally reached the highway, where Lex finally a Tiger Leaping Gorge. Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, towering on either side of the mountain is very advantageous, as has been split, as this is the Seven Wonders of the bar. In particular, talc plates, as if the whole mountain had been cut by the same knife. Walking a few hours on the road almost no vehicle can pass through only the curved accompanied by the Yangtze River.
17:00 Hetaoyuan more leads to the village, there are the locals come to us with a mountain did they open out, but have to have them lead the way, said you can see a lot of beautiful scenery. We originally intended to live in tina's house, where the Hetaoyuan walk away from the road more than an hour away, and if go that mountain was more than two hours, time is running out, we are tired, no time, so I decided to live in In the Hetaoyuan of the woody's. Hetaoyuan is a beautiful small village, sitting in the balcony woody, you can see the green rice terraces, braved the smoke of the house, heard the thunder of Ocean Waves the Yangtze River. But this is a very poor place, in addition to woody point of such families is better, other people are very poor. Originally intended to stay there after school to see, but we are really tired walk, and only let the boss handed over these things.
When taking a bath, but found that the bathroom of the best in the world. Bathroom hillside, the hillside is a wall, through the bathroom door and you can see snow-capped mountains, blue sky, white clouds, very wonderful.
Dinner time, the wizard came asking when we intend to proceed, and then told us that the Japanese have a go with us tomorrow. We say that we students do not have any money, a good wizard, immediately said that would be good for everyone 5 yuan (10 dollars originally). After dinner, the sky is already dark, and went outside to see one, the stars are out, and very beautiful. Sitting in open air, a cup of tea, a few in the first minor, the rise of sky full of stars light, the Galaxy seemed to lay in between the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, so you can will see the beauty. A meteor across the sky, there is no wish, because we feel that their wishes can not give that kind of deserter. Singapore girls sing their folk songs, such a night can have a few?
3 / 29 2001, sunny, overcast morning, will immediately ready to proceed with the wizard, and a little Japanese, and his party started by a mountain 6. First, the is simply Feiyanzoubi. One side into an abyss, the following is rolling the Jinsha River, on the other side is a cliff, mountain only one person wide, a foot in many places to go straight under the stone away. Anyway, what I have to spend, and either crawling in the past, or sliding down sitting. After Gold Rush Department, into the thin strip of sky, mountains sandwiched on both sides of the Yangtze River, looked up the sky were only a slit. Here are the most dangerous areas, and mountain is more narrow, but there are several in the cave, the abyss with the cliffs, if you have a fear of heights, then better not to come, I am the way and did not dare look around to see view, coupled with the help of the wizard before them there. That poor little Japanese fear of heights, but it seems to me a big man should not give people help, so go very embarrassed. Has finally come to the tiger jumped down to the deepest valley. There is local stone in the tiger jumped revised a number of handrails, but also the seat frame bridge, very unpleasant, insisted each of us to pay 2 yuan money, do not want him more entangled, and gave money to leave. Tiger jumped on the stone was aware of this trip not be a waste. Here is a ticket to see the Tiger Leaping Gorge on the scenery of the. Here is the gap between the world's largest canyon, the Yangtze River from a height down a crash, as if a beautiful jade and breaks off. Ocean Waves skies, splashed, as if at your fingertips, in one magnificent feeling. Tiger sat stone-hop is really a kind of feeling proud, and this is the mother river of our upbringing, has such a magnificent style, someone sang a song of the Yangtze River, was overshadowed by the skies of waves, in the intermittent water vapor in, you can almost feel this is the Chinese people's blood. In fact, the Yangtze River rafting guide told us that this section has never really been a drift, and there are a lot of people have been killed here, there is also the narrowest parts of the Yangtze River, and the river less than 30m, drop there 20m. Guide told us that if the time on the right track, in the day when the sun shine on this place, there will be a beautiful rainbow, a pity that we have come a bit late. Farewell tiger jumped stone, onto the mountain, Lex Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is waterways 19 bend山路十八弯of. After a small alpine pastures, there is a flock of sheep has been keeping us children, and then the road is uphill, the sun came out very hot, but also movement on the plateau immediately look very tired. All the girls put things into separate bottles, and showed two men back, but the pace is still slow you down hard just on the road. Looking back on antecedents, not only palms sweating, Singapore girl told us that there have been a boy is here that fall to their deaths in. God! God knows how I came to.
From here, if you like can go high way, foreigners are very much love this road, it is no see, our strength has been really Buxing Le, plus, on which way to go even half way there one night, the So we have chosen to take the low way. On the road, sometimes there are waterfalls Mashimo, but we have no intention tired landscape, say they can no longer comparable with the splendor of the Yangtze River. There are cars cars, we do not have time stopped, there was no other cars in less than a second. Recall that in woody visitors to see the previous message, "If you miss the first car, even if it is the second time you encounter a cow, you should not hesitate to ride to go." Really is so, but unfortunately we have no experience with a cow. A will, the sun go on, the wind is very large, everybody exhausted, I feel like I should be as flat feet of the. Finally encountered a car, which no one under the hesitation, were all sitting up, all the way bound bridge. The first tiger jumped over the stone, the river becomes wide immediately, as if, and just saw the Yangtze River is not the same river. See a lot of tourists to spend 30 dollars, until here, I feel very not worth it.
To the bridge, to find that post office, because before he came here, a friend told us that where there is a unique tourist medal. Took pen want to distant friends that today's experience, but found that the text is so pale and weak.
Eaten lunch, stopped at the bridge back from Zhongdian, Lijiang car. Along the Yangtze River is very beautiful. Broad river, not a white sandy beach, the two sides trees Yin Yin, cauliflower golden, ancient villages, shaded by one, the original Here is Lashi Hai Nature Reserve, really want to jump from the car take a look at what a paradise on earth. This magnificent Yangtze River, this beautiful Yangtze River.
Back to Lijiang, showered, eaten rice, then they would feel physically restored. Then, we also went to Sakura house chat. See a box of blocks, can not help heart and big hair, you play pump blocks bar. Happy time is always too fast.
3 / 30 2001 Yin This is my last day in Lijiang, and the Singapore Girl and her tour guide, today went to Zhongdian, and we intend to spend the day in Lijiang to see Longquan Temple.
The morning and immediately went to the Red Sun Square, rented a bike. The weather was not very good in the morning the wind be made in a considerable, and the sun has not come out often hidden inside the cloud. We are the wind and the line of the road was not very good, it felt a little tired slope, and we spent about 40 minutes to. An ancient stone bridge, Liulv pink, a kind of southern charm rivers and lakes is very chic. We will car parked in the village a small shop, walking to the Longquan Temple.
Here less than prosperous ancient city of Lijiang, nor Yuhu village of ancient, semi-new Banjiu between a kind of indescribable taste. The village's water that is cleaner than the ancient city of Lijiang do not know how much. Longquan Temple entrance 2 Wang Seitan, Yang Liu Yiyi, peach set off, there are faint a siren coming from the hills of pine trees, blue sky and white clouds, covered bridges lying, simply makes that illusion was reached among the gardens of Suzhou. Lake clear bottoming out, there is freedom of groups of fish swimming nearby creek, both sides of the upright poplar, green wheat fields, golden cauliflower, pleasant scenery, and the birds Ching-ming, horse grazing, as if not true The. In such a snow-capped mountains following such a plain, in such a plain there are as many such places exist.
Into the Longquan Temple, found voices inside the original Naxi Ren to 36,49 to Benming years, they feel that at this age are most vulnerable to folding money, so the older people will be in March of each year the last 3 days, the lead out money to pay a whole village of people gathering to eat. This gathering is just hit us, so we and a couple from Shanghai, a Taiwanese, as well as a French joined their ranks. ^ _ ^, Naxi-style food is really quite delicious yo! !
After dinner, going to walk, the wind still strong on both sides of Poplar Trail, feeling deemed to northern landscape. Back to the city the next day and bought a ticket to go to Lugu Lake, Yau Jizhao Che for half a day visiting the child. Also the car, walk in the ancient city of stone on the road, and my heart suddenly felt a kind of very reluctant, they would understand why so many people are willing to in this place has been Zhuxia Qu. I do not know what kind of attitude can help make this place very relaxing, but it also makes people invisible being slowly Xianxia Qu. Here is a paradise, if you want to avoid what, where perhaps we can let you have been hiding so far, but I'm not that kind of people, relaxed mood just to meet a better tomorrow. I think I'll still come to this place, but I would not choose to escape like other people.
Good-bye, beautiful Lijiang!
3 / 31 2001 riding on a sunny morning, Ninglang from Lijiang to the CMB, because there is no car directly to the Lugu Lake, all have to go to Ninglang interchange, but I am
