Search of their dreams at Shangri-La, "the sun shine in the first place, to build the East Tong, human most Most Excellent place, is breast River Shangri-La." In 1933, the American writer James. Hilton wrote the popular Continental's "Lost Horizon", works described in a place called "Blue Moon Canyon," a place, that is hard to trace descendants of the earthly paradise - Shangri-La. All along, what is the real Shangri-La, where controversial, Lijiang, Nujiang, Inagi say that they are true Shangri-La, widely accepted point of view or to Zhongdian in Yunnan and Sichuan, Inagi area.
Down the plane from Kunming to Zhongdian, the smell of cool air from the plateau, and we started Shangri-La tour. Xiao Zhang, etc. to the driver of the Mitsubishi jeep, and we immediately went to the famous Shangri-La Grand Canyon. The road from Zhongdian to Shangri-La was not very good, basic all dirt road. The landscape is also common and may be a little better bar scene in late autumn. Several yellow and black hills startling way into the line of sight, the charred stump of a tree withered branches collapsed disorder in one place, originally occurred here in 1982, a forest fire, this one burned the whole forest. But after 20 years, and many trees were burned up to now survive tragic warning to future generations to care for nature.
Shangri-La Grand Canyon, also known as Bi-melt Canyon, one side is called "Shangri" side called "lire." We walk into this valley, both sides are nearly 90-degree cliffs, walk through the middle of a fast-flowing mountain stream, the whole 120 km long gorge, I heard inside of a pyramid-like snow-capped mountains, villages, temples and so on. Our tour time is limited, only piece of a jigsaw. If there were snow-capped mountains, but feel that, temples inside, where the topography and a description of the novel is quite similar. Can see the scenery in general, you may want to bring along camping equipment, in-depth where we can come to.
The next day morning we went to the sacred Meili Snow Mountain, halfway through a small Songzanlinsi known as the Potala Palace, where a quite a few monks. We are five members of his happily come before the main hall, the door was closed, had at the door Sha Deng. Originally from the right side door into the temple, the temple its duties in solemn silence, each of us a bunch of gifts Buddha Buddha bead, small summer that we will go to the Buddha Meili Snow Mountain, benign countenance of the living Buddha said that we will be able to see. Every time it rains after the journey, we have that flashed Buddha bead, mouth mutter prayers, strange to say, we are often driving rain, I got all the weather turned fine when playing the. Turn full circle inside the mosque later, there is a small monks ask us a question as to how his cell phone ring tone Siemens bigger, and our Ju playing with a Colombian will find is still no. Lama politely invited us to his accountant where seated, and gave each of us breaking off a piece of acid cheese, they said to do is yak milk. For the first time to eat this kind of thing, I feel strange taste, but do not eat afraid of each other happy, half a cheese is basically hold your breath swallow, and even more difficult is that even pretended to like to eat expression, rather worry about breaking off a piece of acting so good they come. 1 put the remaining half of the stone turned into the pockets of the hope that they really did not see. Temple on the second floor there is a row of turning cylinders, upstairs living Buddha has given us peace Buddha bead and knot. Come out just encountered a small lamas, but paying lip service to refuse to wear themselves out with us to a photo.
Songzanlinsi out soon to the Napa lake may be the reason for the season it, this is just a big swamp Bale. We could not even cars do not bother, the race against time and drove to Deqin. Mountain are at least 18 bend, the jeep flip over one another a mountain, with the highest white Mang Snow Mountain an elevation of 4,500 meters, where the mountains revealing forceful masculine, blue sky, under the bare top of the hill nothing long. In order to prove their lungs healthy, I and a small lie to a period of 4,000 meters at 50 meters altitude race, it appears that what the future will no longer doubt their ability to adapt to the highland of.
Later we bump into a viewing platform, the Meili Snow Mountain in Tibetan Buddhism is the first of eight Kamiyama, the main peak is 6740 meters above sea level Kagebo peak (meaning God of War), in the eyes of the Tibetans have an irreplaceable position. God of War still remain a virgin peak, no one can conquer him climb to the top. Sino-Japanese joint expedition in 1989, tried to storm the summit, reportedly strongly opposed to the local Tibetan holy mountains to climb in their mind, about the successful climbers reach the summit when the mountain Tibetans gathered in prayer God of War apparitions. Clever to say, it came at this time blizzard, mountaineering wiped out, and wrote is in such tragic page. Legend is only destined Blessed are those who can see one finally the moment to see the holy mountains of the face. To the viewing platform, the Meili Snow Mountain only see the lower body, the summit cloud to fog to really wait for them to spray the clouds blowing in one breath, we may have to conduct a serious review of the five people who did not sincere. Xiao Zhang Meili Snow Mountain, said to listen to a few months is not often seen, and some visitors to a number of live only a few months has to offer. However, we can not afford to this time consuming to continue to drive to the next Nagamura. Mingyongcun from Deqin to the road very dangerous, and along the mountains turned the whole are gravel with sand, mountains rare vegetation, Yamashita is the Lancang River rapids. On the road there are many landslides landslide, Xiao Zhang said that if it rains, then he is afraid to walk this section of the ironclad. The car just turned over several hills, a sudden, Sally excitedly shouted: "come out ah! Out ah!", Sitting in the back I have not understand what is going on instinct taken out on the camera, scrambling to jump car, foot slipped, almost to the Meili Snow Mountain knock on a ring head. Clouds were torn corner, the sun shines on the snow-capped peak, the silence from the present solemn and sacred. Living Buddha is right, meri 13 Peak let us see a few, in addition to Kagebo peak, the only know there is his son (Prince Snow Mountain), and the wife of God of War (Burma Tsimshian). Do not hope that the impact of this was Kamiyama, because he is invincible. We snow-capped mountains as the background to a big group photo, contented vehicles move on the ground. Some of us may be special affinity with the Meili Snow Mountain, or a special lucky, has been accompanied by snow-capped mountains until we arrived late at night.
Suffered in the Ming Nagamura cattle Thelephora taste pretty good, drink brewed for highland barley wine shops. Like a bath, then the province of points, and there is not the supply of hot water, we may have to use the high mountain snow Buzhi Yu uncomfortable solve the problem. Accidentally head Yitai the crowd shouted in unison, the people who shop, startled. His life for the first time I saw so many stars, even the direction of the horizon are the stars clouds. A huge vault of heaven like a black tent, was naughty child thorn numerous holes, the small summer saw the meteor said, a little doubt whether the girl was too happy a result of blurred vision.
Wake up, we ride up the mountain to see the land at an elevation of the lowest, the lowest latitude Mingyong. If the time so can choose to walk, but the scenery along the way may be nothing. Local Tibetans say the horse is a mule, each piece has its own name, I was fortunate to draw riding a 15-year-old nag, really do not have troops on self-Fen Ti. Surprise, surprise, so the land can be powered in remote, despite the wire is exposed. Glacier trying to fix the viewing platform, even the signs do not, and received 60 Tai Yuen did not do the number of tickets are available for living. Revealing glacier blue light, is indeed beautiful. However, only a mountain road to reach the bottom of the glacier and can not come to a close contact with the glacier. We dare not cross to the opposite to the black dust, as a passenger in Tianjin, said he tried to go over, but under the black soil in many places are empty. Tianjin Brother this age is still armed with a lot of Yunnan-Tibet really for me, etc. Mix a model. Ming Yong from the village to Zhongdian, on the way, we feel that Mingyong not worth it to introduce newcomers. After the car Snow white Mang, the world is from heavy rain, the temperature dropped to 5 degrees drama about the fog so that we can only see about 20 meters of road conditions, unexpected is that we had to face a bicycle limp from the car hanging the four car bag, plateau, cold, heavy rain ... ... really make us say car seat for several hours of hard urban shame. People on board dressed in raincoats, but also for tourists to ride on this I do not know where to go? Inagi? Tibet? ... .... The reason may be an empty stomach, and soon what started a small motion sickness, and we attributed to the car for a long time is certainly no reason to speak. Thus, we have to take turns telling jokes, and soon everyone would suffer from constipation disease joke. Little Deng great interest Let's talk about "ten of the most disgusting story," say a few cars that people who do not generally feel uncomfortable. There is a long list of People's Liberation Army's fleet into the mountains repair fiber, an unfortunately broke down halfway, and we can only wait for them to fix before passage. Then I found that they have committed an error can not complain Rao, from the Meili Snow Mountain to the Mingyong this period films simply do not Shang Hao, my cameras have been shot in the air. I had never missed before, so blindly confident negligent inspection, the most painful is that they believe that my photos will looks better and rely on me to be the main force, "family portrait" and "Sally with his car, under the Meili Snow Mountain "and other photographs are bathing, and can not think of lessons will appear at this critical moment. I do not want a friend to hide the facts, braved the danger of being abandoned mountains initiative to admit its mistakes and strive to obtain leniency. They thought I was joking, but the reality is often cruel. They helped me recall a shot for the film after a few snow-capped mountains, so I at least have a few Meili photos. I am so excited to see snow-capped mountains became my best excuse to justify charges.
20:00 or so we are still on the way back to Zhongdian, the jeep suddenly the lights are not bright, and was going to drive back the name of flashlight, and soon also Bu Xingle even start. Car broke down in the mountains, where the village is less than the former Buzhe shops, surrounded by reaching not see five fingers, thinking that this time should be spent in the mountains for a romantic late. Fortunately, there are cell phone signal, over 40 minutes, Sally's buddies come to help, we end up not sleeping hills. When the meal in the hotel restaurant, hungry to make our neighbor-eaten bread and rice large interest turned to the only other attendants, but they always retain that should be part of their breakfast.
In Zhongdian sleeping one night, Little Deng, and I became a sumptuous meal lice. We leave this day to baishuitai, baishuitai is the birthplace of Naxi Dongba culture, the mysterious Dongba hieroglyphs created in here. Baishuitai Zhongdian to be a three-hour drive, he went to Huanglong in Sichuan tourist may baishuitai more disappointed, but the road Bazi scenery okay. We lose no time to Shuo Du Lake scenic area may not be hot sake, master of Lake visitors are few, but he really gives me a sense of Shangri-La. Lake lying quietly in the embrace of the mountains, like Diqing Plateau bright mirror. Entire lake only five of us who breeze Xu years, only the grass and dirt in the air atmosphere. Quiet lake from time to time to hear the calls of cattle and sheep, we could not bear to break this piece of quiet, sitting on the grass does not think of returning home to go. Later, listening to Lugu Lake in Hangzhou, Xiao Yang said that the lake could be on foot, inside the forests and large ranch more beautiful. If you also have the opportunity to return to Shangri-La, Shuo Du lake I will definitely want to go.
