Read a lot about online travelogues Inagi, germination of the idea of going Inagi.
Because close to 51 holiday, so a few days earlier, for many people is to avoid the time. Xiao Zhang in Beijing will be accompanied by his wife, their age-matched with me, as well as the Shanghai Women's Wie, a few years younger than we are. There is also our driver and guide Zhang Qiang. We took a car is a Jetta.
April 28 Chengdu - Ya - Tianquan - Erlang - Luding - Kangding - Folding mountainous - xinduqiao Chengdu, the day of departure, day shade, and early in the morning just after 7:00, we have on the road. Out of Chengdu is a highway, street faction of spring scenery, tree green children, and the fields are green crops, as well as large areas of rape should mature field of vision is very open. Imagine if the child is to open the time to take advantage of rape would be what kind of beauty. Probably more than an hour to the Daya An, eaten breakfast and move on. After a Ya'an to Tianquan section of the road is not bad, for a highway. So far, spent a long time in the city who might not unusual to find some fresh feeling.
However, after a Tianquan, gradually, not the same, and mountains are increasingly becoming high-up mountain are also some hard-line, and the road is not bad though, already has many bends and feeling. The roadside scene was still more beautiful, the trees are still green, you can also see some mountain flowers or red or white, and Tsing Yi river and has been accompanied by line, really beautiful mountains. Shortly after Tianquan on the famous Erlang. Have written such a description of Erlang Mountain Scenery: Qingyi of the waves, Xigou both sides of the waves, dense pine forest, from time to time clouds drifting across the wind piece. However, we go to that every day, gloomy, like going to rain.
After Erlang Mountain Tunnel, I deliberately looked at the time, from 11:32-11:40, eight minutes, while that for this a mere eight minutes, at the construction of the tunnel, many people sacrificed their lives. Tour guide, the tunnel took nearly six years built, nearly 30 kilometers down the road and traveled down more than 3 hours. During the construction of a dark lake Zengyin died 126. Return on the road, we asked the tour guide, all the way crossed so many mountains, many with steep section of the sinister, why is the unique Erlang repair the tunnel. Tour guide told us that the local circulation of a doggerel: "crossing the Erlang Shan, are like a gate of hell, if not overturned, but also blocking three days." Erlang is not only the original steep mountains, climate is even worse, three-quarters of the year for the rain snowy weather, all year round rain and snow, fog, mud-rock flow continuously, is the first insurance off Sichuan-Tibet line.
Sure enough, as we had Erlang mountain tunnel, as becomes a day, mountain sides as if two worlds. Originally the sky revealing a dazzling haze of light, it is suddenly a bright eyes, white clouds rolling and tells the people that the sun is high blink of an eye, blink of an eye see a dark cloud looms between the emergence of the sun disappeared the next.
Luding lunch at noon, and visited the Luding Bridge. I, Sally, and three Wie went through the shop that trembled slightly with the iron chain wooden bridge, Xiao Zhang in front of fast-walk, I am in the middle, afraid to bow their heads looking at the foot of the yellow water surging forward of the Dadu River. Surprised at the speed of Sally's, to look at the bridge side, the behind Wie side more with each other and helped one of the more than 50-year-old woman, initially thought it was helping those who cross the bridge Wie, Wie was originally timid woman embolden her. Asked Sally why go so fast, the slower the answer is more strained. Luding wandering the streets a child hawking fruit stalls, full of small red cherry, crystal translucent, truly beautiful, fruit-woman smiling, and look at our front of the camera lens, they were shy to want to escape去.
Car circled the winding mountain road, passing through from the edge of the town of Kangding. Soon, see the front of the awe-inspiring with towering snow-capped mountains, that is, a mountainous fold. That snow-capped mountains, in the distant sky and the brown mountains silhouetted against a seat, look solemn and sacred, perhaps because it is seen in the tour's first mountain bar, in my case, like a distant mirage unattainable, but Our car toward the snow-capped mountains, people wishing to line want to close, and eventually reach the legislation as "mountainous fold elevation of 4298 meters," the highest point of the road signs. Windy hill, surrounded by all snow, cold urinate urinate in.
I do not know where to begin, the green of the spring feeling changed, gloomy days, no child leaves the earth is or gray or white or brown, the simple winter colors.
Our end of the day is xinduqiao, approaching xinduqiao time guides that took us to visit and the Curie Tianzang Tai Temple.
Tianzang Tai Temple in Curie side. Nowadays there to play a light rain, the wind also played quite some cold feeling. Tall poplar branches gray stretch its height, great Mani Dui wordless silence, but now most of the original multicolored streamer color lost in the wind-whipped, land, is a gray to yellow, the sky is gray, the people feel gloomy, the only grass had just exposed his head to give people comfort. In this atmosphere, we came to Tian Zangtai next. Only a small cement platform, covered with brown, edges have curled, side Rengzhuo a small hammer, there is a red scissors, outside of the platform there is a small corner table. Is one such and obscure set, but it is true that many souls flying the Department. We stood not far from the Tian Zangtai hill slopes, when the wind more, and went so far as it began to snow son, haste took two photographs, the former would like to Duodai a moment, could be more snow under the sub actually bigger hit in the face on Sheng Teng, we quickly walked to the Curie Temple.
Curie Temple has a long history for many years have elapsed since 1400, the original in the folding multi-mountain, more than 600 years ago and moved here, the most prestigious local lamasery. When we entered, there are several monks looked to us, there are two children run around, and guides contact with them, after one look like a very Chou Cheng-chih of the monks is very friendly for us. He Putonghua is pretty good, people are very generous at the end of the tour when we made a photo with him and he happily accepted, and in the photo, he laughed a good perspective, Michelle said he was very photogenic. He took us to visit the temple throughout the same time, our talks, the temple walls, some retained the original meaning of the frescoes are Buddhist, but now all sealed up with the wooden partition, he opened a number of people Nayao Chi, there is a mural the performance of hell reincarnation, is still very clear. We have also seen lamas do butter paintings, one in the past such as length of a lama head knock wood, printed on a clear physical, especially the deep footprints.
We did not expect is that he also took us to the depositary of Buddhist texts, let us see the inside of the collection is a valuable book before一千四百年classics. 1 Lama moved out of a little box kind of classics, open, is a little broken, but the text is still clear that some of the Tibetan scriptures. They gave us said that these classics, as well as those preserved murals, are pure gold powder mixed with the raw materials of the book or painted, so it can be preserved. Depositary of Buddhist texts without electric lights, daytime light, dark, deposited by the Office of the lower part of the book there is an illegal channels, but also reaching not see five fingers. Is said to ward off evil from which exemption can be difficult to climb. Wie followed the guide and I followed carefully dig into, so that by the book "Body Pressure" by.
With regard to those who have been books, there is a magical legend, to say that during the Cultural Revolution, there is a lama in order to keep through the book, alone in one night, all through the book moved to the mountains, hidden well. After the Cultural Revolution, that monks will be people from the mountains through the book back to the temple, and a local village people Quban, actually spent a month's time to Ban Wan. Listen to this story when speaking tour guides, we not help that, that monks in one night, all the classics Banwan must be a sincere actions, God who assisted him also.
We also saw the benign countenance of the living Buddha, he gave us about this temple history, from the monks that have been brought to our translations. Living Buddha said that only merit a high lama's death have relic, relic can be turned into conch shells, scriptures, statues and so on, into the most rare conch, always had several people there would be no. Curie Temple in the back of a merit of the Buddha's relic profound mourning, he will be for the conch-shaped relic. Unfortunately, that day is cold, we are one by one the shivers in the wind and snow, did not go to visit the relic hall.
Curie out of Temple, over Kham Tibetan village not far from the first, we live in xinduqiao one called "Fat Man Qionglai Hotel" place. Another event at the hotel a five-person tour group from Shenzhen, the subsequent days, we accompanied by peers with them. Night, built a two thick blankets to sleep, perhaps because early on the plateau, although only 3,000 of the altitude, one can not sleep at night, or practical, drowsily to.
April 29 high-Wales Mountain (elevation 4416 meters) - Yajiang - scissors Bay Mountain (elevation 4659 meters) - clamp La Mountain (elevation 4718 meters) - the first leg of the Sichuan-Tibet - Litang -- - Haizi Shan (altitude above 5,000 meters) - Inagi
This day is really walking on the plateau, the former seems to have never seen so many mountains, in order to bypass a mountain, winding road to repeated the number to turn the corner. In each one written altitude, and we pictured the wind. Snow does not melt, cold Such is Life. We can also run around on the plateau on the camera, although some of that head pain, but no one think that what can not stand, and altitude sickness does not seem so terrible thought, which in later days, even more has been confirmed. Unfortunately, the weather this day is still not very good, shade, and there is no imagination in the blue sky white clouds.
Sichuan-Tibet first stop was a radar station, it is an inconspicuous little place. Litang altitude 4014 meters, the day was only passing through, there is no special impression. After a long Litang, we have one called "Chen-chen Yu Zhuang" in a place to eat lunch. Ate up the river where the fish fight. Before the middle of nowhere, where shops, Shino and fog, a river flowing through the sidelines, the sun came out, sat in front of the house exposed to the sun, is quite an icy world feeling left behind.
To Haizi Shan is to enable me by surprise. Imagination is the eagles long grass, lakes horizon, the race seems Jiangnan. Did not think was actually the home of the stone is so empty. Strange, large and small stones, covered with vision reach of the office. Tour guide said the Himalayan orogeny Haizi Shan was left by ancient glacial relics, glaciers left many of the stones to do. Haizi Shan is said to have been found in fossils of dinosaur teeth. A radius of more than 3000 square km place, with 1145 Haizi large and small. However, vehicles traveling along the road, only occasionally see a Haizi.
Driving through Haizi Shan, the sky is still the shade, and brown stone, yellow grass, silhouetted against a bleak one, it is Think for these stones, perhaps the ancient left by a brutal war with a silent into bones, they witnessed a century, while those Haizi, perhaps the tears of those soldiers made convergence. And then, perhaps, many years ago, had been a stone under the rain, can there be so many stones left behind. Cars on the road at least an hour to walk through out of Haizi Shan. Haizi Shan the highest elevation of more than 5000 meters, but on the whole relatively cheap, people do not feel the plateau on the road.
When approaching Inagi, and the roads dusty, eyeful of the scenery is An Huang, Yuan Wang Inagi, feeling like a small village on the Loess Plateau. And so on into the county to see also some pretty some modern buildings, of course, there are Tibetan architecture. Tibet room impressed me most was the window was originally square, and always in the window (except above) coated with color, or black or red or white, very eye-catching. Inagi a straight main street, in the Chu Liaocheng Department Topol tall, imposing on both sides extending toward the distance, and Toyama connecting.
Inagi may really blessed, regardless of consumption, not the every day and enjoy the natural hot spring water. We live in Blue Moon Valley hotel, spa bath at any time, wash away the hard way. Especially sweet sleep that night.
April 30 Inagi - Bova Hill - Hot Ukraine Temple (Flower Yellow 2 teach-in-One) - Mu La Rural - terracotta Township - Gong Galang Guling Temple - at the Geneva Township - Human Village - Leaf children Red Village - Aden Tsuen - camp 1 - Chonggu Si - Tara sea (Zhuo Mala wrong)
Early departure from the Inagi, and soon entered the endless mountains. This is more dangerous road conditions, narrow roads, slope more acute bend. A car out of date and dust. Daocheng to Aden from more than 100 kilometers, due to high mountains, to cross the mountains into the Gulf of Aden a nature reserve, as if lifted a veil of layers of mystery is most able to see the true capacity Kamiyama. Roads have been around here in the mountains to the side of the road is a simple dirt road, but digging into the flat earth, but the road seems the most outside earth and rock loose. Roadside often is bottomless cliff. With the continuous ground Yamashita Mountain, elevation are constantly changing landscape is also somewhat different. Some places, green trees and red a bonus, there are azaleas in full bloom, and some places have a something back. But this day we have little or no sense of lack of oxygen. Met along the way very few other vehicles.
The people here are very warm, in our cars passing, the people encountered, often waving, the young girl would do likewise. Especially the children, met in a place far away, they begin to beckon, and a look of joy, cars will open out of date, mouth, shouting, "Good-bye" or "BYE-BYE", even while chasing cars running Bianhan on the moment. I am very sorry in advance did not take any small gifts to them, only a small amount of ham and mustard, eggs, etc., to the several children. I think, in this remote among the mountains, they seldom meet outsiders, and some even apart from their families, with little opportunity to meet other people, so when a stranger appears, is so excited bar.
What is intriguing is that in wooden pull Township, over terracotta valley (tributary of the Jinsha River) is a small bridge, the guide stopped and said, here known as the "natural oxygen bar." Here the original vegetation is rich in water gurgling, although at a plateau, but oxygen-rich. We are in this deep breath of fresh air, feeling like a small bridge to the water of the southern old haunt.
10:35 am arrival at the Geneva Township. Where to buy tickets for Aden nature reserves, but also the registration of each person with each one into a car. Is probably because in the past frequently missing bar in the mountains. During the year 51, to Aden FIT, came forward at the Geneva can not be alone, and to the Jiva must participate in a local group, otherwise we could not enter the protected area. According to tour guide said that last year 51 period, a Canton man, toting four cameras, may be reluctant to part with beauty, in the mountain time, with the accompany of a few people got separated, and later several of his partners out of the mountains, but also how such less than his return. Kamiyama, as he disappeared in the foot, and never fully emerged.
At the Geneva Township, only a simple two rows of houses, a small street less than 100 meters. Some look very idle Tibetans, men, women, children, or sitting in front of the house street, or in the street, North Korea is far outside our man looked curiously. I put a boiled egg to a small boy, his mother cut open the eggs to feed their children, I did not understand their words, but they are very happy to see one side, people are laughing, very bright smile where people feel they are optimistic.
Guo Jiva, cars are still winding mountain highway, and we in turn see that several small villages: one village, Ye Er Red Village, Aden village, first down at the height of the mountain saw, and then it through. Afar to those villages, I feel very strange, as if produced models, small, neat and refined. Land and housing colors are very harmonious, and houses are square-shaped. Village is the first person who saw a little red earth with a yellow, later red Yeer Village and Village of Aden is a very pure khaki-colored.
Although the dangerous road and the car a long time, but no one was bored along the way everyone laughing, and sometimes with a guide are some customs and attractions of knowledge, guides were prepared by two boxes of tapes, mostly for possession of some finished songs, there are several in the first pleasing to the ear, but came back that I could remember, only remember that one of them put a lot of times, the lyrics are like this: "There is a beautiful place, people regarded it aspire to. where the evergreen, where Niaoyu flowers, There were no pain, there would be no sadness. Its name is Shambhala, the legend is a fairy place to live. Oh - Shambhala is not far away, it is our home. "listening to this song, I felt a faint sorrow, overtake our hearts. May be expressed in the song, originally a kind of beautiful melancholy longing included. I think, Shambhala Although it is impossible, as the song of sing as good, but as reflected in the kind of optimism, the spirit is indeed Khampas bar.
Noon to Daya Ding outside of protected areas and forward cars will not be entered. To camp there on the 1st half-hour walk. We have already streamlined the departure Daocheng luggage because they know to walk, but two days of not bathing in Aden. However, there is a large backpack Xiao-Hu couples, where they rented for the horse. Others walk into the mountains. There is only more than 3,000 above sea level, walking up and basically nothing to altitude sickness.
I followed the guide first to arrive on the 1st camp. In a relatively flat forest land, put up several large tents. There is a more than 20 square huts, is the kitchen. That on the 1st camp, we feel like the home, like a pendulum into a few tables and chairs tents ----" restaurant "things break down. Will soon have to a large number of Sagittarius (including one all the way to Shenzhen accompanied by five groups), when it began to rain, but under the more greater. We are fortunate that arrived at the camp a little earlier, but also worried that heavy rain would affect the afternoon and the degree of Master Chong Gusi sea arrangements.
At noon we eat the rice and fresh vegetables, it is very hard-won. Inagi County, there is no ability to self-sufficiency of vegetables, edible vegetables 500 kilometers away from Luding shipped. Moreover, in this mountain camp, but also horses and cars shipped in order to guarantee the supply of vegetables here. Despite a poor appetite and will try to eat a little.
Eaten after a meal, or rain, had to wait while sitting at the kitchen Kaohuo side. It was only a small number of rain is already more than 3 points, and we happily set out.
The way to go Chonggu Si there are many large or small, Mani Dui. Buddha's passing up the hill to the edge of Taiwan will soon open an area, where you can saw a Chonggu Si. Where there is grass, but also had a small river, the river little river on both sides of a slight redness of the Changzhuoxuduo branches of an unknown tree. It is not thick tree trunk, and makes a thick branches stretch to go, like a bush-like, a large canopy tent, but no one leaves. The tree in the vicinity of Aden, very many, often into the film into the film, and some branches even more red, Yuanwang red one, I would suggest that it is called mangrove bar. Originally thought it was time for the spring came here, did not expect the plateau of the late spring, people feel a little winter depression and loneliness.
Chonggu Si is surprisingly small. Seems also a courtyard with side, followed by a few of the house, not like the Temple has a Curie another door leads to a more deep house. Through a dark narrow wooden stairs to an attic room, more like, where he met the Buddha. Observation in the snow Chonggu Si Xian Nairi Kamiyama, location very good.
Chonggu Si may be small but a great reputation. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty, dating back over 800 years of history. Now left behind are destroyed after the Cultural Revolution had survived and had not been re-built, or have not been able completed. Later, no matter how to build, always failed, probably too close from Kamiyama, not ground-breaking, a ground-breaking Kamiyama the anger. It is said that development of tourism at the beginning, it has been off the Chonggu Si close to the plot of the open area to build the camp, but the tent just improtance shortly after came in a blizzard, all crushed all the tents, people believe that this is Kamiyama's power, so choose from the following it farther on the 1st camp tents.
Tara Chong Gusi go from the sea only 20 minutes. Tara is a very big sea Haizi, in the sunny time, snow-capped mountains reflection in the water clear bottomed out, especially beautiful. We went Shihai light rain, but blue water, brown branches, silhouetted against the water's edge under the impression that there is still a kind of unreal beauty.
Back to the camp that night went so far as it began to snow soon. Snowflake fluttering scene, I had not seen in a long time. Under the snow, the ground gradually thick snow, and we all hope and pray the next day is a sunny day.
The camp at night without electricity, lit lantern, and we chat until 10 o'clock before going to bed soon. That night more than 10 individuals sleeping in a large tent, the two rows of pass shop. To "bed" shortly after hearing uniform grunt, and I could not sleep a long time, over and over again, the brain has been very clear-headed. Sometimes hear the next Wie is also moving. Although there is no feel shortness of breath, but sleeping outside the tent side, feeling the wind to enter, head cool, the middle of the night got up and put on my waterproof clothing items include badges, sleeping bags and then bind tightly, I still think the first cold . Bar may be a little headache. I can not sleep, and my heart persistently looking forward to brighter days will quickly lay unable to sleep the long night is too tough.
I do not know a few points, and suddenly felt as if it was covered with the same side repeated the earth, which makes beds support branch to the sound of a moment is also constantly being confused, the heard a bigger ring, they feel head suddenly dropped down, also to the head side of the body down. Support from the date of the original wood bed collapsed. I hastened to get up, when Xiao Zhang, and Michelle are talking, I asked who the earth in an awkward, said there is no ah. They also thought I was moving. Can be really strange, just one person does not move, probably not solid wood, the collapse of the former exert oneself persist for a while, so when it issued that kind of sound. The side of my bed is almost completely destroyed, the other end still intact. Sally and she's also some inclination of the beds, so we all moved towards the other side of the head to sleep, did not expect such a change of, the Daorang we fell asleep for several hours. Everybody says, bed collapsed, but added a good thing.
May 1, 2
No. 1 camp (elevation 3750 meters) - No. 2 camp (Luorongniuchang) (elevation 4200 meters) - colored sea (elevation about 5,000 m) - No. 2 camp - camp 1 - Inagi
Weather very well. The morning on the ground vast expanse of whiteness, and the trees are covered with white dress. I live in Guangzhou, a long time not seen anything like snow, and was very excited. From camp 1 to camp 2, may be riding, in addition to myself that our two groups of other people have rented a horse, I believe my strength, even though they all along persuaded me, and I still insist on a guided path to go.
Really beautiful scenery along the way constantly. After a long Chonggu Si, the tour guide said, by the roadside, according to known as "Gang Green Ridge", and take a long time are the same roadside evergreen trees, blue Gang Leng hence the name. There is a large tree is very small, the tree leaves little, round, branches, leaves filled with snow, like most of the cotton, it felt like walked into a large mature cotton, the difference is that Mass is also a white, snow-white cotton smile, and truly beautiful. After a Qing Gang Ling, is another plant trees, tall, no leaves, branches thin, full of snow accumulated. This is blanketed by Su-wrapped world, let me watch it enough, along the way stop-go, from time to time by pressing the camera shutter, leaving the winter silhouette. Side is a winter mountain, Yuan Wang is a sacred mountain where the hearts have been feeling this time is not in vain.
8:30 am departure, 10:45 arrival camp No. 2. There, much less snow. Camp No. 2 in the Luorongniuchang, field of vision very open, very flat terrain. Due to two or three hours sleep the night before, to stop and after that I felt trapped, and soon fell asleep lying covered until someone shouted lunch.
Afternoons colored sea, colored sea nearly 5,000 meters above sea level and can not ride, our group indicated that the other three do not, and in Shenzhen that five people are on missions. So we set off together with the tour guide. First through the Luorongniuchang, open lawn, the grass still yellow, but the deep, soft to walk on the. There is a clear stream flowing from the grass. Cattle had started up the mountain, the initial period of relatively flat, go up and do not feel anything, the more the more I struggled to go up. Gradually steep road, after a called "Shinsen" where a huge ice, rocks, water drips from one side, a few meters long cave, two outside, said drinking water in the afterlife Shinsen people can change , we drink, and also drilled caves.
With the increasing altitude, and we stopped to rest intervals are short. Each take a while, just as the force can not bear the weight and the same can not be breathing, leg weakness, but one stop, a moment feel full of energy, feeling a sudden to go very far, and looked at the not too distant a period of ascent went to a small hilltop, thinking you can go up in one go, but could not walk far and also to stop breathing. This walk take a rest, it seemed, at around holy mountains not far from Yang Maiyong Kamiyama a valley separated by a long way with it is flown alongside the trip.
Walked more than an hour, and hope that in front of the overall feel of the summit should be to be always over the mountain there are mountain, perhaps too easy to go into the mountains on the plateau of the reason it, that goal does not seem to come, and the more close to it, the more sense it far away, again and again insisted again and again relented, and colored the sea it does not always appear, as if to run out of our every effort. We encourage each other to the upward.
At first, there are many trees, the time will go to the mountain with little trees, only some unknown grass and dwarf shrubs, we have looked at the previous peak, with or without roads, only hope to reach a little faster colored sea. The more lines the higher the blue side of the lake finally appears in the field of vision, it left in our front. Guide that it was milk, sea, sea-colored almost a saw.
When we once again reached a peak when the sea can finally see the colorful. At the time feeling, like thirsty people, toward the front, toward the Xiyi walked and walked in the water for the thirst of patience will go to the limit, the water is really there in front of them, when the joy, relaxed, can not be untold. Curved side of the lake, at the Peak on an open area, quietly lying. That the lake a distance, go from the outside in by the shallow and deep blue. Haizi seen these days, large and small, I always have mixed feelings on how the water is so blue, blue was pure, very clear blue, and blue too deep. Blue was ah, it is enchanted.
Peak upwind large, colored edge of the sea and mountains there is a connecting part of the thick snow. Walking in the Peak ground no longer feeling of moving forward with difficulty, but could also breathe smoothly, and people feel very comfortable. Colored in Xian Nairi Kamiyama at the foot of the sea, you can Tadao Xian Nairi Kamiyama of snow. Here is an excellent Kamiyama hope the other two locations. We are along the lake and the line, from different directions to watch colored sea, intoxicated with the changes in its beauty. In differences, with the light will be different, saw a different reflection in the water Kamiyama. Kamiyama and holy water, silhouetted against each other, complement each other. I think, for the colored sea, perhaps because she was living in mountains, to Yidufangrong plateau must go through the arduous climb, she also makes the U.S. particularly memorable. Is the so-called "no experience of wind and rain, how rainbow" bar.
After more than an hour down the mountain. Some sections at the edge of a cliff, but there are a lot of stones, the next time be more careful Cai Xing. However, still down a lot faster than the mountains, after all, more to go, the lower altitude, breathing more smoothly. On the mountain flowers for about two and a half hours, down only one and a half hours.
Back to the camp, when, feeling really tired. Bonfire night party, I did not take part in, to sleep early, and compared to the night before, we should say a good sleep.
No. 2 early in the morning to leave on the 2nd camp, back to camp 1 on the road, the snow has been oriented to do, the sun shines. Without the silhouetted against the snow, feeling scenery to be far more. Afternoon, down from camp 1, and then Zuoche Hui Inagi. Daocheng at this time, in our eyes, is a very comfortable place. Because the night we can not only wash hot springs, but also sleep in a solid bed.
May 3 Inagi - Haizi Shan - Litang (Ker Monastery) - Yajiang - xinduqiao - Kangding
May 4 Kangding - Luding - Erlang - Ya - Chengdu
We are due in time for the festive days before departure, to go all the way and in the area, people are not more than the return trip, meet people and cars into the already over a lot. Return ours, there are several impressive, worthy of note.
First, Haizi Shan. In a few Haizi Shan, although already mentally prepared, I still feel no words to described inside the shock. How would there be so many stones lie here, ah, I lament a long time. Large and small, without to count the stones, so that Haizi Shan filled with a solemn and mysterious, or as much Yigu chill the air, it is imagination.
Second, Litang and Ker Monastery. Litang-called "World High City" has a neat streets, the roadside is a tall poplar. 3, at noon, we ate a simple lunch in Litang, but each to a bowl of noodles, cook noodles using a pressure cooker, but also spent more than ten minutes before full cooked.
Then we went to Ker Monastery. Tour guide said that schools in which there is a lama, there are many small lamas. We went at a time of rest time at noon, the school classroom door closed, but in the dormitory area and saw a lot of little monks. They look mostly grown very strong, people are very lively, loving Shuiai laugh. To see us one by one holding the camera, very curious Wai come, when we propose to give them photographs, ask them to join坐在台阶上, many people showed an elated look, it is with the lens. Most of them can speak a little Mandarin, and some only 12, three years old, and some are 17, eight years old, all the lamas wear red.
We visited a dormitory, which is very simple furnishings, there are two beds, tables, that's all. But the most striking is that in a dormitory wall posters one by one colorful paintings. The content of these paintings are basically the story of Buddhism or to reflect the teachings of Buddhism. Interestingly, in a hostel door at the top, there is a blue-team football star Michael Jordan took the picture. In our out of this room, after a sub-grow some thin high lamas and holding two football star's picture card, asked me to give him photography, he stood tall steps, in the hands of the picture card lifted high , with a smile fixed grid in the lens.
Enthusiastic and lively nature of these children, let us love, but also having left us to leave. Travel time they have been shouted "BYE-BYE".
The third is on his way from the xinduqiao to Kangding. Xinduqiao to Kangding only 70 kilometers away, but to climb over 4900 meters above sea level folding mountainous and mountainous entender folding, one after another steep and sharp bend down the mountain again and again, as there is no end. Walking on the mountain, the weather was hard to say Yinqing, 1:00 is covered with dark clouds, at another time, sunshine, fog shrouded 1:00's really unpredictable. Folded into the mountainous, but especially appreciate this, mountains of snow still exist, wind and cold, gradually played a fog, car drifting slowly because of fog at the gathering, in the vapor, in the changes, more and more concentrated, We have entered a vast expanse of whiteness of the world, car Yunshan Wuhai the ground. I looked at the table, and that was 6:50 in the afternoon, the plateau night had come late, a few minutes ago, see the sun, this moment they saw thick fog, a few meters beyond the sight of things already, but from time to time turn, the road is also slippery, the roadside is unfathomable cliff, running more than a year Inagi Zhang Qiang, the driver of car is very stable, but also firmly in a super-bus.
In the thick fog for a while nothing could be identified, the next minute to see the bright sun, just get another saw the snow-capped mountains towering summit of the distance, while vehicles have hidden among the clouds into the vast expanse of whiteness. Down when the cliff side of the road is endless Wu Hai, head lights shining faint light, there is a moment, my eyes were attracted by a bird circling in the elevation of such a high place in thick fog being, would be a bird flying over, when I feel like a person walking in the trilogy to see a bunch of warm light, suddenly filled with hearts touched.
Car is about more than 10 minutes walk through the clouds, and finally to the foot of the mountain, this time can see the sun, facing the distant mountains opposite, there is a white light appear, one blue, the color changes. Looking back on vast expanse of whiteness of the summit, the hearts are still frightened. Fold down the hilly, cars are still on a mountain walk through, about 7:20, far above the snow-capped mountains, we saw the beautiful Jinshan sunshine, the sun shining on the snow-capped mountains, dazzling, fast changing, very spectacular. Roadside mountains, clouds still change, the clouds like a mountainside Bailian tied mountainside, like a ribbon tied the girl in the singing and slow dance, swing to go Bailian rains, like the gently swinging the hands of the girl to relieve streamers.
About 7:40, we finally arrived in Kangding.
Kangding, Sichuan-Tibet road like a cut-off point, after two seasons entirely. Return journey, the feeling is particularly strong. When the sky will be the xinduqiao night along with neat tall poplar, bare branches, not the least bit of spring to this view should be said that these days is the most common, from Aden, has always been the case over Daocheng . After a folded mountainous gradually to see that after the green line of spring to gradually becoming deeper in the mountains among Kangding, it appeared at that time, it is entirely southern town school of Yang Liu Yiyi picture. Folding water gurgling over river which traverses the city before, then getting late yet black, fleet has on children in the head, more like a charming southern Kangding added. Our car through the city of Kangding, the lights gradually kindle, as the capital of Kangding, Ganzi is full of spring flavor and modern atmosphere.
Fourth, after a post-Erlang Mountain Road, the steep anomaly. It was 4 in the morning, cross the tunnel of Erlang Mountain, is a very long way down the mountain, the world is a drizzle, the road is slippery addition of turn, while the cars are more, not like there are other sections of rare vehicles. That just over Erlang Mountain Tunnel, the police heard the voice of oncoming police car, someone used the loud speaker to speak, asked the driver to drive carefully and give each driver made a yellow printed to draw drivers attention to safety notices. Car moving very slowly. During the last year, 51 are said to Inagi who finally sent out by the police do.
After a Erlang Mountain, after a Tianquan, when the car moving at highway into the elegant, we are familiar with the city atmosphere, is rushing toward us.
Looking back on the 7th of the trip, I deeply feel the difficulty of the roads of Shu. Two days in Aden, the deepest impression. At that time the feeling is very hard, then think, do not want to be on the plateau within a short time, but in the back way, just think, Inagi, I will come back. Of course, choose to autumn, when some Daocheng will be is another beauty.
