D7: Munigou (11 14)
Up the next morning and thought to go horseback riding, heart not stop the excitement. Last night, rained, the ground damp, dark sky, I really worried about today's weather.
Happy trails the door has gathered more than 10 horses, each horse immediately have a thick pack of something better standing next to the guide, a great clamor. Happy trails starting today, the tourists in addition to our two, plus two girls to Xuebaoding Fujian to 4 days, a fat foreigner to go to Munigou 4 days, another three foreigners to Munigou 3 days, But only if we are 2 days. Our tour guide was a more than 40-year-old skinny uncle, one is more than 20-year-old young man. Malaysia is relatively high, on horseback a lot of floor mats and equipment, look higher, and I was due to stand the cold wearing a very thick, so I launched the first time his life very awkward position, in the guide thrust my uncle Shuangtun's help, I rush to climb on horseback. Look back at the Sun, ha ha, he does not stronger than me where to go. However, the kind of superior riding horseback a great feeling, hehehe, who is very easy to vanity animals. Handed the reins to guide my hands,,, hey, Hold on, and so on,,, how come the self-serving horse Duo opened the steps, Zhao Qianfang away, I can not call it leaving the country again (in fact, do not know how to call it away), it appears that horses are trained one by one. Fortunately, this time off on other people, so four of us set foot on head of yours to go caravan Munigou the road.
Leading from the road beside the horse turned into a lane and started climbing. A very narrow very steep mountain, but the horse is clearly familiar with the road, going very fast, a short while I go back a look, Songpan County, has been far stepped on the foot. Although I was the first time riding, but not nervous, tour guides still boast I am the Sun ride well, hey, themselves admire themselves. Sun horse riding sense of great chiefs, always going to be super to the front, narrow on the Hill, I squeeze the horse you to endure, we will, "See," "does it" "hey" is called a non-stop, ha ha. See more guides are, and of no concern, but sometimes the horse is so much noise Huan, and was snapped soon as they had immediately honest.
Flash, flash on horseback, and was very pleasant. Luckily, two tour guides are very outgoing personality, along the way with their dialect chat in warming up (and I do not understand), like an old friend not seen for many years, from time to time there is a tie not a tie to answer our curious questions . Conversation with the tour guides that go Munigou to turn the big mountain to about five hours before reaching their destination and come back to go the other way, the time should be shorter. I asked why, they said they could see different scenery. Older that guides the Han Chinese Ming Jiaohong optical element, the young that the Hui, Machang full-yong. The mountains are virtually bare, only a few scattered low shrubs Peng I heard turned out that the mountains are the fields, because the need to protect resources, and therefore are returning farmland to forests so that local people had. Within a short while to the first one on the top of the hill, while horses have pushed water tank. Ma tour, pointing across the rolling snow-capped mountains in one, said it is Xuebaoding. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, the weather is not good, peaks between the cloud filled the air, cover the face of the Xuebaoding mysterious. We take a look at the rise of day, weather shade, the tour guide said it might be a little afternoon rain, and later, unfortunately, is concerned, but not a light rain, but snow.
The main one horse did not make them drink of the machines to take advantage of a rest too much, pushing the road. Mountains continue to rise, on-street sooner or later, the snow, Hill meandering away and disappeared not far from the hilltops. Every time I want to, there is a peak in front of the bar, but wait until the turn of this bend, stretch also found a higher distance paths. Mountains stretching, as if unlimited. Sure enough, it began to rain, and thin was not much, worse, the temperature getting lower and lower, 2 feet no place to hide, frozen numb, well, next time must wear a special kind of hiking shoes.
Finally arrived on the hilltop, jumped out of the Malay fleet guides, respectively, and Sun Qian Zhu my horse, we are a bit baffling. I saw the way down equally steep, Road snow tread the thin plot was a muddy, and then I would have for security reasons, in accordance with the provisions of people can not ride down the mountain, we must go down, but they see the way Tai Lan, and to take care of us, take us down the mountain by their Qian Ma (heart really touched). See that they are dressed in ordinary Jiefang Xie, but one foot of soil one foot of water go fast and sure. But riding down the mountain is really quite frightening, because people sit at too high a horse Zhigu head down to go down, people will have to go to their heads off while energetically the upper side of the two pedal tight stirrup, the body is nervous not work . So that I may feel the same old fast from the horse around the neck Shuaichuqula.
Mountain gradually lower the roadside appeared dense shrubs, better branches out into the road, the horse is insignificant, the height of branches were unable to stop it, but riding on the above, I may suffer, and one side should strive to steady live in the body, while also trying to avoid suddenly appeared in front of obstacles, there have been many times was a hanging tree water.
Quickly down to the foot, compared to the time up the hill really fast points. Yamashita is an easy road, though, but fairly flat dirt road. A roadside bush brawl in a flowing stream, winding away, seems to be coming from the Munigou side stream, and is said to still follow the same track 30 minutes to go. Guides say that this year the water ditch, because the spring is to add water by rain this year, Songpan is very dry, so spring is also less. Horse onto the ground, seems to have mischievously a lot, when a burst from a trot, the despair of despair. Sun assertive or aggressive riding a horse, as long as I have a horse to run it immediately began to run, with a total more than my half-horse body. Haha, is not because they belong to different owners, so old to be competing with it.
A thin layer of snow accumulated on the road, two lines of a clear line of wheels and India, and the direction of Munigou Mati Yin-shen, should the weather there will be tours come here? The door to distant scenic sight, apparently there is no visitors, that car is a management office. Is the Well, so cold, only not afraid to suffer a backpacker will come here.
In front of dismounted and almost did not drop one mouth eating mud, fortunately guided a Fu Zhu. Guide the horses to the management office behind a log cabin before the hut was the stream, the house is our camp place, thank God do not sleep in the wild after all. Huts which were divided into three, the large one there are traces of their predecessors to cite cook, the roof of four to take the air, apparently in order to facilitate for cooking, another small two at night to sleep. I was looking around, when there has been deft guide to a series of things done, including the unloading equipment, to move out of pots, called streams, but after moving firewood, and has up a good fire, Oh, like a child to the picnic ah. Hong uncle to horses, feed is brought beans, and now I finally know who dug a hole in the ball is used in what was originally horse mobile manger. Colt guides burned a pot of water, and we surprised him by asking, boiled what he said to Ma Cha-opening, speaking from a bag and strive to achieve a dark Suimo sprinkle into the pan. Q colt I. That is what the guide said colt is a horse of tea, but also deliberately to do is to use horse manure, horse manure could make tea? Collapsed. . .
Roasted on the fire edge for a while, hands and feet warm over, and finally returned to popularity, then a man and a woman come in the Netherlands two young foreigners, tucked outside the cold, and we played a simple hello sat a fire on the edge, while constantly rubbed his hands, watching posture worse than we were frozen. Oh, am ashamed to say, although we learn啦for so many years in English, were all on paper, and a foreigner talk, often to be found hanging belly to want to gut the word, but also let's not compare the two guides. 2 foreigners are happy to participate in the path of the Munigou three days, yesterday to the Zhaga Falls, today over two sea, waterfall over there talking about the weather, that men and foreigners, said very cool! Has also made a trembling exaggerated movements and send the voice like a horse sneezing, Oh, they just horse evolution?
Guides say that the road pony might have frozen waterfalls, and Sun Fortunately, I did not intend to go over there, otherwise I'll be dying of cold. They have two guides is also a small old one, but because more families to the smaller, and are quiet, but diligently hard at Gan Huo.
Horse drinking hot tea (horse manure?), Taste pretty good, watching the colt who guides and uncle to cook. Our lunch was cooked with cucumber pieces of the pie and from the Songpan, foreigners are cooked cucumber pieces and fried bread, and Sun also ran smack brought barley wine, brine beef stewed dried tofu and all. Here food is communism, and we eat them they eat us, no one will disagree with. Chopsticks is to use small branches are cut, and inevitably a bit winding, the Chinese people are a bit difficult to use them, let alone a foreigner. Oh, to see their simple-minded, to make chopsticks look like really want to laugh. We ask them to try tofu, that probably see the dark and the boy waved again and again, girls daring relatively large, clip a piece of research a long time, the results of just shook his head repeatedly on the bite, said sorry, can not stand one of the look. I and Sun Xiangshiyixiao, foreigners had not used to tofu呀! But not surprising, if to the Netherlands to eat cheese, I think I would, and her expression at this time a kind.
Rushed to fill his stomach is already two in the afternoon, and tour guide said colt into the groove, then slowly walk back and forth to two hours, but the sky is very dark, afraid to snow, so we have to return to wooden huts 5:30 ago . So we put on the camera ready to go, and foreigners are asked not to hot spring, can be a go? No problem of course, Lo! OK, starting with the bar.
Munigou two tickets for 33 per sea, each of the pasture and then pay 4 yuan damages, snow days, the grass had not seen half of the root, how can a loss of law? Of the right horse forage costs as a bar. Hong uncle when instructed us to take the left at large in, come back right away. Began as a gentle sloping terrain, there is low between the trees, the ground is snow covered the roads, and Jin Cai finding the left of point charges to which the Plank Road. As the Internet said, here is large in Jiuzhaigou appear shabby compared to many, it seems dilapidated appearance, there is no anti-skid net and no handrails, and even some sections of wood have collapsed, and combined with snow melt, after a little, people walking on top to be especially careful, one will be inattentive slipping thin ice, I threw two successive, rather awkward position.
Jiuzhaigou-known big, ticket sales high, well-funded, it can be very large in fine repair, but the contrast of old and deserted Munigou appear more primitive beauty, I think this is a foreigner like to come here instead of a Jiuzhai reasons.
Plank Road are basically along the edge of ditch construction, the side of the hill pine tall and straight, complete fear of persecution blizzard. Surrounded by a silence came the occasional thump thump in front of the sound, only a few vaguely saw a pheasant flying forest fertilizer. Here, people think that even to speak out will disturb the natural quiet, the snow line by line on the footprints of small animals, like chicken footprints, ran ran, very busy, I guess is a pheasant in the feeding, three a small group of a group of dots, and I guess a rabbit bounding, Oh, here is their paradise.
For fear of slipping more slowly so we all came to head Road, the sea, they saw a snow pit, has no water for people to see, foreigner regret to say no water. I'd not much disappointed, because right after I read Jiuzhaigou scenery Munigou do not hold much hope, especially in this season, the main purpose of this trip is to experience the fun of riding rather than viewing. A break for a while, thinking of warm hot spring, we continue forward. Beyond that walked a street there dodger dodger water flow, ah, when suddenly the immediate magic smoke Haizi of several large and small, around the edge of pine trees, silhouetted against the snow, water, clear bottomed out, which I do not know that that year, On a dried tree fell on the inside. Jiuzhai of water many of which are blue, deeply shallow people Lost Souls, Munigou, otherwise some of the water color is the ultimate moving, showing the different shades of green, and something like a fresh. From this I think I underestimated Munigou in her heyday when the landscape is not necessarily under Jiuzhai. Looked at the roadside sign, turned out that several Haizi tranquil sea, calm sea, since the name was really fitting. And another one at large in its right-hand side next to go, indicating a downhill Road. Foreigners lingers here for a while, just like we say them not to give back. And I want to come to Hot Springs Sun discussed, so that, in this separation, we are ready to continue in-depth.
Haizi from here one after another, all around the Haizi Plank Road, and I think there should be a Munigou, in its essence. There is a large in frame directly on the lake, micro-water submerged, take the time to the special needs of care, or they might fall into the lake. Presumably this Haizi surface always remains unchanged, otherwise the wet period is not the Plank Road to the drowned. And went more than 20 minutes to come to a place called the prime blossom, Sun a little bit tired, sat down at the roadside rest, dear, hot springs there are far ah? Street without any explanation, nor printed on tickets above the line, there are no other people around the trace, I tried to go forward a bit, but the road ahead without showing any signs of approaching the destination. Increasingly gloomy weather, people worry about the distance back, so we regretfully decided to return here (after the show that we took a wrong decision, regret!).
Along the same route back to a quiet sea, down the Plank Road is clearly visible on the footprints of just foreigners come. Then, suddenly Piaoqi a light snow, and soon the snow turned into heavy snow, after all, is her first time in the snow, so I feel a bit scared. Sun due to be in Nanjing before, seen snow, so comforting, I say that it, along the tracks to go on the trip, I settled down only slightly. Xuela down, given soft rustle, looked into the ditch quieter.
Tao Tao is more downhill than uphill rudimentary, Plank Road went on the suspended half of the home, her footprints continue to be an extension of the snow, we have one foot one foot deep shallow ground tracking trip. I am breathless hurry is when inadvertently a look back to find that one person riding a gallop came from behind, the horse is tall horse black horse, the rider is the one black robes of the Tibetans, an instant roar from our side away and disappeared in front of the snow, leaving only a string of Mati Yin. I was stunned, ecstatic, Gee, this forest, this snow, this horse, this man is simply masked as martial arts in the arena like the knight's appearance. Sun is more like a terrorist to say that the game Heroes of Might and Magic in the Dark Knight, fainted. . .
Luoxue getting thick, the eyes look to the surrounding one white, the trees have accumulated on the snow, we Huangbuzelu could not find the right down Plank Road, Wang Qianmian only know the right direction, even walked back to when the The mountain Road. Road up the hill on the uphill Road bar, anyway, like to be back in camp, and at this time I have lost self-confidence so that snow confused.
Flat terrain gradually open up, indicating the camp is not far from the front came Oreocharis咣咣clank clank sound and saw horses are relaxed to the ditch away, Made in, ah, scenic areas of the door impressively in the eyes, Ami care Buddha, my god, ￥ # ◎%!
Back to the huts, were found in snow from head to toe, hats, gloves, coats, shoes are all wet, and we quickly went Kaohuo. Guide fed to a small enamel cup, tell us that that is a high degree of highland barley wine, drink a little would be warmer. This wine is 60 degrees, let's buy more than ten-degree kind of highland barley wine for them, at best, drink, tour guides who are drinking this highly, but heard is completely grain brewing, even if drunk, the first two days will not be a headache. I tried to drink a little one, wow, immediately felt a hot Mashimo from the throat to the stomach, feeling very calm, there is no momentum in general a high degree of white wine.
A break for a body warmer, and pony tour guide told us that the spa has been close from the Su-Hua Wu, and taking the road of 300 meters can be that we hear the endless crying in the corner regret that, alas, if to insist on what's good enough.
We are cooking dinner patches of vegetables, rice and lettuce foreigners fungus garlic, taste pretty good, that is, have a lot of weight, the oldest child in a pot, I think we have to eat more than four tourists, together with four guides, or quasi - have left a lot. Colts seem to not be lazy to cook, such as the one to do two sets of people together, not be able to save some martial arts do, tourists will not have opinions, but they unconservative, always honestly fulfill their mission.
Eaten rice, a pile of thick pine tour moved to a bonfire l! Are said to ditch the natural dead wood are broken down branches, in order to maintain the ecological, they are not cut raw wood to light a fire. These branches are dry, and many also have pine knot, fire crackle to do the sound of warm baked people. We all sat around the fire side, drinking a high degree of highland barley wine (foreigner drank whiskey, highland barley wine they say is a chinese water or hot water, He He), in such an atmosphere, in this Weixun feeling, man and the distance between the disappeared, the tongue seems to have a lot of flexibility, speaking like a friend and his many years of talk, feeling particularly harmonious. Drinking drinking, Hung uncle sang a song then a, is the folk music around. Colt guide secretly told us that Uncle Hung sing a lot of songs to sing, after one drink a night. Every time he finished singing a song, and Sun put roughly translated means listening to the foreigners, foreigners have also been infected, two of them give us sing folk songs, the Netherlands, the rise of Shi Hai dances for a time. They had the newspaper in Tianjin, this time intend to every corner of the half of China, then wanted to go to Lijiang, Yangshuo, well, they're the envy of foreigners will play this game.
Later, and guides Liaolehenduo Colts and their own things, all these horses and all of them are tour guides themselves, the cavalry horse owner not only responsible to attract visitors, tourists per person per day to pay the 80 yuan in the cavalry, the boss pumping 30 yuan, 50 yuan to the tour guides, tour guides are very difficult, so this is divided into methods are satisfied, but at present there is no change in any way. Some of the tourists came to the boss directly to bypass the Colts guides, the tour guides seem to prefer this approach. Our view is that the boss is also a division of cavalry, or there is still a necessary, but now riding Songpan travel is still basically in the folk form, there is no corresponding regulatory constraints, so that the proportion of domestic workers is still pumping the boss wants to do on how to. In addition, the riding, after all, is a kind of risk-taking activities, but now tourists have neither insurance nor a written contract, if the activities occur in the riding accident, dealing with them do not have evidence, thanks to conscience of the Colts. Therefore, since Songpan this activity has gradually gained an outstanding reputation, attracting more and more Chinese and foreign tourists, the local administration should regulate it up. However, not satisfied return not satisfied with the vast majority of tour guides who were still doing their best for visitors to do things, we encountered these four guides are simple people, are attributable to their strength of ordinary people to make money .
Night gradually deepened, wine drinking is almost, I have also jointly and severally to dry wet afternoon hat and gloves, trapped Italian rounds hit. So pony guide to help us prepare to sleep. Why do we say yes to help, because the asleep is not easy, first lie down into the sleeping bag, pillow his head in his saddle, and then in turn guide, and robes with the cover being wrapped us up, we finally turned into a two-round pupa Ju . 2 foreigners slept inside the hut, then the tour guides who can only sleep on the outside of the big house. Our house is also good, at least no broken windows, doors do not sew, so no air leakage. Thin thin sleeping bag, add the thick quilts and robes are not where the good news is we are all wearing thick clothes to sleep, otherwise how can they survive the long cold nights. Also brush the snow outside the house the next, not a kung fu-fighting I entered gone to sleep.
