Busy day, eventually becoming the night alone in bed to sleep, thoughts drift back to past years, back to last year, that Shangri-La tour.
In mid-October, suddenly sprouting a want to take a look at the idea of the last Shangri-La. Heart not as good as action to provide immediate access to see if there ass company with others. Hey, not bad luck, actually there are three donkeys are also so inclined, to discuss the decision several times starting from Chengdu to Yunnan via Sichuan Inagi of Zhongdian. (Now renamed Shangri-La)
A few days before departure, Zhejiang Haibo Mix with another caller warned of a Mix first step, in advance to see first miyaluo leaves, to the confluence at Yingxiu.
October 16 afternoon, I with another Shanghai Mix Xiao He - a crush by the appointed time arrived in Chengdu. Due in advance Mix Okuhito (http://www.allren.net) help me car rental, cars come off the plane less than half an hour, and a Ba Chengxin the Cherokee sport utility vehicle (http://www.cn4x4 . com on the driver's information, his nickname is "pangolin"). At this time day and dusk, was officially launched out into the filling along the highway, Chengdu Simon scorcher, half an hour to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System (formerly known as Guanxian, Li Bing, the local flood control), completely dark days also it began to rain, over Qingcheng Bridge to the Aba and fled in the direction.
Dark days is more and more into the mountains, rain is more under the higher road is very slippery, car window a vague and unclear to see only the feeling of constantly turning. Fortunately, the driver skills are good, nearly 10 points to arrive safely in the town of Ying-electric Hotels Yingxiu. Haibo their morning till, and Mix is naturally very pleased to meet. The three of us do not eat in the town before finally finding an open small restaurants, we tells us chat and learned that Hyperion was originally a captain, now diverted to engage in full-time photography, and with him accompanied by another one Mix is also a photography enthusiast, we called her sister Zhang. Wine and Xia Du, if also more, our driver, "pangolin" is also very talkative, take them to the words of Sichuan, known as "red-called shell", we far apart for a while Shenkan unconsciously already around midnight, tomorrow, but also taking into account the hurry, safety first, back into the house to sleep.
The next morning on the cis-a river upstream, the two sides of vegetation well, last night in a heavy rain washing even more green, the air is very fresh. River water is not clear bottoming out, the roadside squirrel sprang from time to time. Pangolin told us it was a tributary of the Min River fishery is called sub-streams, because it is the Wolong Nature Reserve where the forest has not been cut before.
Turned into a bend, see the river, a large red leaves, golden trees at the trees falls gurgling streams, get off picking up a camera ready to open trunk, after the murder of a lot of film to move forward to reach Wolong approaching noon. Stuffing of a clean restaurant to eat, by the way also take a break. Because do not want to see pandas, starting after lunch and began to climb over the tour's first Shangri-La Snow Mountain - Ba Langshan. The mountain than the steep and sharp bends a lot, and good road is still very bad repair, all cement pavement. When approaching the Peak fog and fog, visibility may also 10 meters or so, all the cars drove slowly OK emergency lights. To a full streamer with the place, a silver in the world on the road on both sides of the thick accumulation of ice and snow, I got a look at road signs and found out to 4538 meters of Ba Langshan Yakou. At this time there was a headache like to sleep, may be altitude sickness, make haste to take medicine.
Is downhill all the way down, the sun was shining, completely unlike the earlier case, this is probably the difference between the Yinshan and Yangshan bar! I do not know how many turned back at the bend, to a place called "cat nose" are far-sighted, Xuefeng stretching, is head and shoulders high to low snow-capped mountains in front of four linked tables, which are冰清玉洁, Shashi spectacular, this is Siguniangshan. God fairly support so that everyone took your fill, the roadside selling mutton string, but unfortunately not this delicious food dizziness. To Japan to live Long Zhen Xing Mao Hotel, 3 stars, very good condition, that is, prices were so high, thanks to pangolin booked rooms in advance to us, or they spend the silver. It was decided tomorrow to Chang Ping Gou and Shuangqiao Gou, I first really faint a lot and do not want to eat dinner with a bath and pour bed sleep.
