A good early calculating routes: first go to the Xuebaoding Songpan horse, and then, if the cover langmusi, and then north to Xiahe, followed by the Lanzhou to Dunhuang. Everything is ready, waiting for travel companions. Searching finally found a friend who can take part in Xuebaoding after the journey. No. 26 at the aircraft before the call, hear her over the phone said: You first go, have fun spots! God, seems only one person the road, self-reliant.
Because it is discounted air tickets to Chengdu is already midnight. When the plane is being inundated with rain and the sky, take airport bus to the urban area, resort to rumors of an online traffic to the hotel. To a restaurant only to find many more Dorm is not leased to people, the frustration had to pack a room, and this is my way of the most expensive place to live, and the 120 Tai Yuen sleep for five hours.
Songpan the same time to get up at seven o'clock, ate breakfast the hotel free of charge and take the door to the right is the new South Gate station, bought the 8:00 bound for Jiuzhaigou travel tickets (Chengdu - Songpan, 73 million). Just over Dujiangyan, in front of queues. Because of the rain led to landslides, there is a road can only allow one car through. Probably stuffed more than an hour, the person they are nothing but the car seems to have taken for granted and continue to smoke, chat, close their eyes meditatively, really "comfortable." I think if somebody else made in Shenzhen, as early as some contain himself yelling up.
Songpan six o'clock finally arrived, I got straight to Happy Trail, last year's tour guides know Ma is the Office of chatting. The next day to inquire whether someone is busy Xuebaoding, the result is disappointing: only three foreigners registration, all is to Munigou. In the upstairs and then came the wind hostels stay there asked two more people, but you are with the brigade. Frustration arises spontaneously - the first stop would not fulfill our wishes, we say Xuebaoding I miss? Do not want to waste time bet on the second day of luck, so is Ah Q, consoled himself by the pleasure of travel lies not keep up with changes in plans, and soon great enthusiasm for the next three days of Munigou trip full of hope.
Songpan street was no different from a year ago, but also came off last year, Pancake supper, the evening temperatures dropped, the hotel boss put me under the table electric furnace heating. To return to the hotel along the river, a big brother heard that I allow a person to go to if the cover and langmusi immediately to one of his friends copied the phone to me, but also a person must be given personal assurances that the Tibetans are in the local rather forces, any question can be asked him to help solve. The benefits of a person to go out - Bo sympathy.
Deja vu Munigou nine o'clock the door on time to the Happy Trail collection of six Australian tourists, including a brother and sister, a pair of Hong Kong couple, an Israeli girl, as well as myself. Ma Nature is my guide, brought home to me riding a white horse. A pedestrian vast and mighty start and began to travel over the mountains on horseback.
Along the way, when, when overcast, sunny, finally God to face the way, do not fall to rain. Recall that last year's heavy rain, several people in a muddy hillside embarrassing situation still reeling mad rush. My horse left foreleg as if there is a problem encountered by many gravel roads are always a limp, resulting in a downhill at it suddenly knelt down, I am prepared to less than was lifting down. Fortunately, fast enough so no injury, I very much doubt it is calcium deficiency, with only regret why they forgot to bring covered in chocolate and cover.
Two at a time when the sea reached noon, in what was intended to do with camp house hotel availability. Tour guides began to horses and started to do lunch, we went on the grass slope entrance. Some managers look like the locals are sitting on the grass playing cards, stood inside the tape recorder next to the popular song, two children in the next to chase slapstick, and truly feel comfortable.
Hotel kitchen naturally become our kitchen and "dining", the tour guides fried bok choy, cooked horse tea, take bread, very sumptuous lunch. Are eating, I heard from outside, rain, secretly glad. After dinner a little while the sun again stuck their heads, do we have bought tickets (30) into the two sea hot springs.
Overall I felt very similar to Huanglong, winding wooden plank road, calcified rocks and clear water are the distant snow-capped mountains. Inside the quiet beginning, and only our number of people. The so-called "hot spring" is not hot, about 20-degree bar, the original also thought I could swim.
Look at the sky darkened, we decided to go on. They pass through a cave, that the two children led the way along this road, I took my torch, followed by mud hole wet, very slippery. The results of the first one back down the Israeli girls, Ofra, I go on a short slip a few reel also decided to give up. Standing in the woods outside the legislature, etc., Ofra like analog plot practicing tai chi, heard that the vicinity of a temple in Dali spent two weeks Society. More and more gloomy sky, trot all the way down the mountain, Who knows, or too late, the sky has been cracking crackling it began to hail Pi!
Meal eaten outside the temperature dropped down, drink tea and chat around the fire, I will simply bake off to wet shoes. Chatting in the guides talk about Tibetan customs: marry off their daughters to be a lot of cattle and sheep as dowry, while the man's bride price is only a few bottles of wine. Number of families frown his daughter and gave birth to her son while rapture. Concluded that the birth of a son is definitely a small investment with high returns good business. There is also a custom more alternative: a family of several brothers, only to discuss a wife! ! This is said to have nothing to do with rich or poor, there are a lot of people are now the two brothers share a wife. Charlie's words with the tour guides a woman in charge of family wealth is conducive to their fortunes! I could hear the jaws drop.
Create a disturbance to guide sing, they did not how Tuirang inviting voice to sing together, we all sang with Ofra will sing the "opposite of the girl Sight." The mood, and tour guides who sang folk songs, melodies gently melodious just did not understand the lyrics is probably speaking tour guide explained that the "good girls do not marry two men," meaning, I immediately countered with Tibetan customs had to be assumed that this song is definitely not the Tibetan were written.
Went to the river wash, alas, was praised by a water to the face, the skin immediately reflected countless goose bumps come out. No time to enjoy the bright stars in the sky, rush back inside.
Our sleeping bags are lined up in six laid out on the ground, the tour guides were sleeping on the other side. Night temperatures are low, I am tossing in sleep, in the middle woke up several times, each time to hear a different db and rhythm of the snoring.
Lonely journey - great sunny tie Ga Falls road is also very flat, even the horse could not help but trot. We walked in the Walled rest for a while, Ofra and I took the opportunity to go take a look inside the stockade, met a group of Tibetan children who come onlookers. They are a lovely, whenever we want to raise their cameras to shoot ZHANG Zhao, they fled in all directions like to do, once they returned the camera to lay down their heads to the onlookers, to several rounds of back and forth, it seems they are enjoy this game . Suddenly recalled that bag of chocolate out distribution. Sure enough, a sub-object immediately win everyone's trust. Standing, to stand, and even put Pose Let us shoot your fill.
Break for a while we have separate teams, large team of people to the emerald mineral water, because last year I've been to so I decided to go to tie Ga Falls. Falls do not need to go over the mountains, but only two people guided me and horses it is very lonely. Here are more visitors, at the entrance I encountered two tourist buses, horse guide to buying tickets on board a lot of people looked at alone, when I, a look of envy. From time to time on the road up the hill behind a car honking, my horse is said to have suffered shock, so I had to be careful. Scenic area in the upcoming arrival at the main entrance, the horse suddenly bolted toward the steep slope next to, I am energetically pull the reins had not been able to stop it, had to tread foot stirrup desperately to shift the focus back if they are not fall down. It did a year ago, passengers who come here, we face such a Nianjiu the wise old birds, how does the heart to blame.
Garbo and Jiuzhaigou Waterfall bar inside the waterfall is similar to walk up the stairs to have been the source of the waterfall, watching the water flow Fei Xie could not help thinking of a Brother tour last year the most classic modification of water - shining white in.
Horse-mediated relatives at the entrance of operating souvenir business, and we spend the night in her house that night. 6:30 after the tourists have left by car, the scenic area immediately quiet down, because there still no electricity, individual one after another began to prepare dinner before dark. I sat in the doorway looking around, had been mistaken to do tour from time to time to get over and asked me if well-intentioned people not miss the train.
With the dinner and heard the rain outside, housing which is also colder the. The front row of the sale of scenic shop, is said to be the county's poverty alleviation projects. Makes up the walls of a wooden hut, noise effects can be imagined - even the neighbor's cooking is the dynamic and static to be heard. Behind the kitchen there is no ceiling, only blue with red and white stripes of the waterproof cloth covered, Fengyi Chui啦done on the flapping sound. Even so, such a pavement have 4,000 yuan monthly. Of course, the business can not be compared with the Jiuzhaigou Valley, the mountains there is no electricity, no supplies, everything had to brought up from the foot of the mountain, conditions are not indeed not bad, but for them, after all he is a means of subsistence.
Guided horse at night to help me lay ground floor shops, the owner should still be careful of only hot-water bottle, plus a thick blanket, I slept good that felt comfortable.
Mighty back to Songpan opened his eyes and saw the light under the door thought it was disclosed in the sun, and Who would have thought out a look at was actually snow! Outside a Wonderful Time I Spent trees, looking ahead, Man Shan snow-covered trees, branches full of snow on the knot, rather, "Tree Pear Trees 10000 open" sight. Really make a turn, and even a one-off to see the beauty of two seasons.
Walled with large forces in the convergence of the small shop owner points to you Kaohuo rest of the charcoal brazier. Soon another group of people came from the two sea, including a French couple traveling with four children with the youngest daughter is only two years old can only shrink in my mom's arms. Children were not wearing enough clothes, frozen shiver. Rest of the time their parents finally decided to join us retrace Songpan. One of the 45-year-old is very naughty little boy, whose name has also made me feel very much the French called Pierre, guides call him a small monkey. I ask them to eat chocolate, immediate effect, the smallest stop crying, a few other little guys are kept me make faces, Shashi lovely. Charilie guides the way down to take the lead singing, "two tigers", the original French version of this song is there, so a few little guys come mood, has been sung twitter of the mountain.
Back to the Songpan is more than two in the afternoon before 7:30 the next morning bought a ticket to the Zoige (30.5), and then I moved to Pine State Guest House and Ofra live (15/dual bed). Evening, together with two Hong Kong people about guides who eat, the table, everyone singing and dancing, the fault of one side of the diners were startling. Turn of the last tour, he said they would continue to dance can not sing quibble. Of course, we would not be so easily let him go, then pay to return Happy Trail's office let him jump to us. Told to dance as soon as someone brought a large tape recorder, in the office chatting with the other guides are also gearing up, a pair of eager looks like. They seemed to know every song, action, although not very tidy but very consistent, which there are two very good jump. Music very soon, there are a lot of people stood outside. Later we three girls to join them, learn to dance Tibetan dance, office space, although in no way affect our Hsiao Ke dance enthusiasm. In front of more and more people are not only tourists but also a lot of local childcare pull out women, the scene is quite lively.
Guide Charlie invited us to visit his house warm, but also come up with big stack of photos to us. I saw this in which the Xuebaoding missed must be a psychological imbalance in the relationship, I think there really is a wonderland, dark compensation determined in the future must be a long-cherished wish.
