D7 10 Yue 15 Ri Songpan - Cloudy day-long seven o'clock is not yet dawn, we are in the howling winter wind in the name of flashlight, standing at the door waiting for the Galaxy hotel shuttle. One up and found that it is the passenger bus is not that we come to when you sat coaches, a lot of locals, all the luggage, boxes, sacks are a mess on a heap in the hallway, cars dirty. The driver was a stolid, car is very slow, stop much, but it should be safer. 1:30, we went to the Yingxiu, because the bus is going Xiaojin start early in the morning, now only take the crossing of vehicles or chartered. The driver to take us on to the day-long's fork in the road, for us to be hailed.
Junction stopped a number of small vans (Changan, Changhe, Wuling and the like), the driver of an asking price is ¥ 350, we looked for a three-box Xiali, about ¥ 300 (online say is that this price), see car ride to see the crossing is unlikely that (with tour buses, but non-stop), boarded the bus.
After a protected zone Wolong Panda Mountain View, beautiful, and we have many times on his way off camera, chartered your point, but this good. Opened a half hour later, to the Ba Langshan Yakou, there is a sign shows where an elevation 4800 meters (3700 meters in Lhasa before), the roadside slopes have deep snow. The air is very thin because of excitement ran a few steps Ayong feel dizzy, and quickly stopped. Yakou passed on down the mountain, and another in the past there was a place called the cats nose is a good place to shoot panoramic Siguniangshan have been there a lot of She You occupy a favorable position, with the Zhangqiangduanbao. However, there is always clouds, the effect is not ideal.
Long after the arrival day live in accordance with the recommendation of Kim Joo User hotels, we are here to stay three nights, ¥ 70 / Standard rooms, but also good, I heard that some people ¥ 50 to win, though it's below our level, I do not know hardware is exactly the same. The sky is too early to go up and so the sunset on the way up the slope. Finally eat at the roadside had remembered the many days of the kebabs. The scenery was really expensive! An asking price is ¥ 1 / string, we are moved by the demands of convincing people with reason referred to ¥ 0.7 / string. Such as setting of the sun for a long time to Suki hungry faint. Ridiculous want to eat mutton soup with vegetables, so they found a dark and little shops, Haggis soup in general, and rice is also no air conditioning, cold, but to eat the best food the entire trip the wild bacteria amounts so large that there is an unexpected surprise, only ¥ 10 / copies! Butter tsampa me and my two boys like, Suki not used to the provincial to us. And then eat a lot of lamb string. Yes, have a kind of life, really good feeling.
Tips: Kim hotel has laundry service, ¥ 3 / piece. Opening night heating, but the morning after gone.
1. Economical options: If you have three individuals, according to the number of hotels do not agree to pay, then open a standard room, a person aggrieved point ground floor forget to sleep.
D8 10 Chang Ping Gou Qing Yue 16 Ri Siguniangshan Mizoguchi's shop to drink in a bowl of steaming plain porridge, together with Sichuan spicy taste kimchi (here called control cabbage white lotus), which is my entire trip the most satisfying meal breakfast (to seek the truth low ah). Bought a ticket ¥ 35, by a small van from Mizoguchi to the lamasery, 7 km, ¥ 5 / person, line price. Lamasery had no monks, leaving only a ruin. The Colts have a rudimentary management office, from here to buy tickets to the withered horse beach ¥ 50 to ¥ 200 wooden mules. Withered wooden plank road to the beach, good walking, but not large in comparison with the Jiuzhaigou. Dried tree on the beach after all of the mountain. Plank Road on the frosting, eight or nine minutes were not yet oriented. I can not buy 35 yards of climbing shoes, wearing a pair of old shoes to all-round, some slipping, but fortunately two boys pulled me along. Army knife, I would like to use some long grass tied to a non-slip shoes, but the early winter subtilis are crisp, tied not be reached. Later I found at large in the mountain side was good to go. Withered beach walk about a half an hour, slippery, everyone more slowly. Morning, tour a lot, the entire Plank Road on the bustling, I secretly crying. In the withered beach took half an hour, David and dried tree groom to talk about the price of private beach to the wooden mule, ¥ 130 / person transactions. Originally thought to the little wooden mule tours, because it is self-financed items, did not expect the horse rental business is good, Ma Road packed with visitors. The way the upper and lower stem Hai Zi break twice. One and a half hour later, we passed a small wooden bridge, came to a grass slope, all of the people are here to dismount, groom told we have reached a wooden mule. I think the scenery here, with no difference between the upper and lower stem Haizi, and even chaotic, and not as described, as netizens, and my heart began to doubt. I went to wooden bridge, with the regular cavalry of the groom were chatting, pretending to look casually asked: "into the wood near a mule, right? Half an hour enough? You how some people cheat the tourists that tour here is wooden mule it? "groom who do not speak at once, and all looked at me, I immediately confirmed my suspicions. Groom there a woman asked me: "Your number is how many horses?" I told her that we employed in the private beach withered horse, not the regular cavalry of. I am sure they are hear to say those words that I am an insider, they told me that here is called two estuaries, cheated tourists mostly rented a private horse, do not get complaints. I went back to the meadow, and so is almost walking tour of the team after the groom told us to continue to move forward, to wooden mule. They just get anxious, and also claim that, here is a wooden mule. We say: "We gado ¥ 20 to the wooden mule, to not go with you, do not, then we will not pay a penny, and we they can walk." Because we came here have noted, Ma Road, although it is muddy, but the mountain is actually very good to go, especially in the past two days without rain, mountain is not slippery. 3 groom to discuss a bit, agreed, but Ayong's boss was also unhappy that groom, along the way YY chirp of. In fact, the way to the wooden mule is to return to the original horse Road, but the wooden bridge and continue to move forward, relatively steep mountain, a lot of big stones. Horse to go a little bit dangerous, his walk was good thing. After another one called Red dwellings of the attractions, a moment they arrive at a stone and wood surrounded by a big rodeo, a tree hung with a wooden plaque, a letter to "wooden mule." This is really up. David and the Ridiculous started playing with their equipment, I look at is where there is a general, it alone climb a rock going up five minutes later, the vision suddenly became open, the valley in a vast wilderness, the green river static static to flow, the valley side is the vast expanse of whiteness of the Siguniangshan, good close! Golden hillsides of spruce pleases put, black yak grazing be enjoyed. I understand that I have found netizens said that wooden mule grassland. In addition to other people here, I do not, I do not dare to move forward, we are here to wait for two boys. While up four high school students look like, and they bring nothing, just rented a double-Mizoguchi water shoes, all the way along the cavalry's footsteps came here, I spent about four hours. Houshengkewei ah! Today, we met a painter, forty to fifty-year-old look, and also his mule from the lamasery reached the wood. After a half an hour, David, and Ayong will come up, David heard in front of groom, said there is a beautiful place called the water dam, but the groom that took us to the addition of ¥ 30 / person. We very much dislike the practice of such exorbitant demands and unanimously agreed not to horse riding, walking tracks along the Ma in the past! Fortunately started walking, then gradually come to aquatic plants to inside a foot of water down a Wang emerge, together with the Red Army had climbed mountains in the grass in the marsh loss soldiers pack will be a legend, a little uncertain. Fortunately, the ground from time to time there is a pool of cow dung beach, tell us should be relatively safe. And then later on can not keep up footprints horse, because all land in the grass inside, and we do not want wet shoes. So take the detour from the slopes, there is simply no way that we put aside when Debu dense bush thorns and drilling in the past. David in front of open, Ayong behind me bring up the rear, it was wild, walking on foot in France: the weak walk the middle. Approximately 40 minutes away, encountered a single-plank bridge, but fortunately the water is very shallow, David Yes, Cengceng rub over them and I Ayong back of the backpack, balance is also less, heart timid, put the tripod when the on the water and leaning on a cane to walk past. Here was beautiful and the valley of a large aquatic plants, the edge of lush forests, scattered flowers, two yaks, extremely quiet. I think I went into the legendary god place to live! We very much regret not ready tents sleeping bags, or else one day be nice to live in this paradise, ah, wash our bodies Zhuoqi. In fact, we do not know where is the water dam, but later appears from the description of the local people, should it wants to.
The murder of a large number of memory began to return. Go back to wooden mules had been almost a four o'clock. I slip a bit at the last minute, stepped into a pile of very thick mud inside, but for David and Ayong pull fast, I really hard to Bajiao out, and my shoes will be filled with black mud, completely scrapped. On horseback, with the lower temperatures, wet leg better cold, but a dark ugly. But despite this, my heart is still very good.
My horse at the return journey, it is proud to show character, heart to do trials, resolutely refused to let other horses over. Because of its assertive or aggressive, several times, and other horses compete for the first bit, actually in the jungle where Sa Tuipao himself up, but fortunately I pulled the reins, but also the body fell backward, his face was not only the low hanging branches injury. To the withered beach horse paid the money ¥ 150 ¥ Ayong also took the initiative added 10 to the horse doctor, because his horse himself somehow come to the tangled roots of a pair of sprained hoof, as if the skin is also broken , prend blood. Had Ridiculous flexible, dismount quickly, Ma was even more severe injuries. From the beach to the lamasery withered, good afternoon to go over the berm, and three Mensheng a rapid march, to rush down the mountain before dark. By early lamasery nobody no horse had no car, and the sky was dark, and we immediately called in the morning to take us over the driver to pick us back to town.
Tips:
1. In the formal rental horse cavalry (and passed mahao) is basically guaranteed to reach a real wooden mules, but they are calculated from the lamasery began. Private horse from the withered beach Term, find their own path points, road, save ¥ 50 ocean.
2. To see a wooden writing "wooden mule" in the name is to the real wooden mule. Chang Ping Gou scenic wooden mule is the essence of the future.
3. The situation from the road can own foot from the lamasery water from the dam approximately 89 hours.
4. The best waterproof hiking shoes to wear in the gang. Heard the door scenic water shoes rent, ¥ 5 / pairs.
5. Crossing the Chang Ping Gou said to take three days to reach the miyaluo the BI Peng Gou.
6. Read the article online as early as some people say Siguniangshan developed quite ruthless in is a pretty ruthless slaughter of the tourists! I would like one day enough money to rent a horse at Songpan rented for two days. But also the fraud! In fact, he can do short-sighted. Suppose an ordinary tourist to spend ¥ 35 ¥ 200 ticket and Ma tickets to the two estuaries, was told that there is a wood mule, he returns he will tell his friend, Chang Ping Gou scenery flat, spent a lot of money to not do so well read, and not worth ! Word of mouth, that in order to later people will become increasingly less Colts still have a long-term business with Taiwan?
D9 10 Yue 17 Ri Siguniangshan 3 Guozhuang, Shuangqiao Gou Yin David before today, back to Chengdu, and another call to continue to go Inagi User Aden. The sky overcast, no sun, to where a lot of landscape are inferior, but fortunately it was fine yesterday when we went to the wooden mule, water dam. In order to avoid the tour groups of people, we decided to first go to three pan-chong, and then gave Shuangqiao Gou.
Hired three horses, ¥ 40 / person along the way mountain slope is very steep, very difficult horse. No tickets. Finally came close to the peak of an open hillside, where the dismount. In the three pan to see if the Mansion Eagle, Camel Hill and Shuang Qiaogou panorama. Saw a lot of beauty, and our Seyan are increasingly demanding. There is no sunshine here is very general in. On horseback do not think I was climbing a short slope and gas without panting, a relatively high altitude.
Backtrack down the mountain, Ayong horse may be a balance problem, has been washed down, I do not like his horse hit me fall off my horse to go.
Guozhuang from three half-hour walk along the road to the Shuangqiao Gou mouth. Results ticket and parking lots would also like to move forward 10 minutes. Tickets ¥ 40, ¥ 60 sightseeing tickets, too expensive! Actually only a secondary school student card can use! Absurd! We also have a tour group in Guangdong complaints tourist car service, which was in full retreat ticket section.
We are so few people in cars are not open (a ticket here, not like Jiuzhaigou a vehicle can be any of the above), waited the arrival of two tours in Beijing before they left together. The car is air-conditioned CMB, are filled to capacity, and not even very comfortable pedestal using the term, and guides and instructors do not have the car seat. ¥ 60 to spend on such services? Everyone shook their heads straight.
Chang Ping Gou saw the beauty, look Shuangqiao Gou very senseless. It is inadequate, and we said, it is ¥ 100 wrongly spent. The car has always been open to the deepest trenches of the redwood forest, and then retrace their steps back, and stopped five spots. Each roadside attractions there are many Tibetans spread of roast beef and mutton (trench a few Tibetan villages), I Kandao 7 hair, eating a handful of. Also drank a cup of steaming yak milk, ¥ 2.5 / cup. The only worth mentioning is that in the last attraction ginseng fruit flat, and I ran laps Ayong horse, not a trot, but leaving aside the hoof to run. The feeling of galloping on horseback nice! Good cheap Oh, groom to our special offers: ¥ 10 / how many people are eager circle, as long as dare to Happy Valley, a little shock to mean that he did not know what we like to ride. Ran a few laps later, had given the money, the groom has offered to sending me to ride two laps. But for sightseeing car sounded his horn again in fierce, and I would also like to ride a while. Ridiculous groom later said Kwame I rode pretty well, it will use stirrup to power. Thus elatedly's.
The evening meal, and brine yak meat - I like it, run into friends of two brigades, one in Ningbo Jianfeng, just Danba come back to us highly recommended Danba the towers, beautiful valley, honest local people. One is Nanjing, wheat, just big girl down the mountain, climb to the top when the snow too, failed, and physical strength and mood did not look too good. They live in Chang Ping Gou mouth bar on the hillside before ¥ 10, but not a bath. About the 21 o'clock and they see in a bar.
Bar is a country that has spent a quite a long time in Shenzhen, Sichuanese open, as if a rock band singer in Shenzhen. Jianfeng said he was to play the guitar well, we have heard. Bar consumption and Guangzhou similar. His bar there are some furnishings from Tibet, I casually asked him if he had never been to Tibet, and his answer was classic: "Not yet. I have to wait until my mind is mature enough, Zai Qu. I will now not enough. "Oh, great character. But I seem to have seen the book in which this sentence. Hehehe ...
In the bar where they met two of the walking arena maverick who are working in Shanghai (normally I would not say that I am from Shanghai, fear of discrimination), one female reporter ELLE magazine, called Wanko, for many years ago, has opened in Lijiang bar, bar owner being taught to write Menu and Drink List experience. An originally was China.com site editor, called Coca (perhaps he likes to drink Coca-Cola), following the resignation of ourselves, tall, long hair, very dark tan, a bit like a Tibetan, cool. In my boss's brother brought back from Nepal under the hand kraft paper lantern (light is really dark) to see mountaineering magazine, climbers on the Peking University during the search and rescue of victims, knowing that if a person can not be buried under the snow in time to escape, then because of rapid loss of oxygen and temperature, the body stays the best only 8 minutes! People in the natural face of how small, life is so fragile and short-lived!
Evening, because David go first, and I, and Suki agreed to let Ayong to our ground floor room to play, even though had already been living together for many days, we carefully checked the identity cards of Ayong, according to his own that he is a policeman, and we Also ask him to produce Jingguan Zheng. Looks like really. Ridiculous when the police estimated that for so long without being checked咱permit ordinary people. Hahaha ...
Tips:
1. Today at 3 Guozhuang Yi Qian Ma is a young man who throughout the village from another place by the Government moved to here (similar to the Three Gorges Project). He said that if their horses employed to Chang Ping Gou wooden mules, they are only ¥ 90 (Chang Ping Gou's cavalry to ¥ 200). This is because there is policy support to local relocation of these outside persons, so that their early settling down. Conversation more polite young man Surprisingly, Aba Prefecture of college students in a school, he said that after graduation he was assigned to the government's job is to Qian Ma, while some people have only primary education, by virtue of the relationship into the town government. The more ignorant the more backward, hey! No wonder the tourism development here, service Gaode so good at all.
2. Personal opinion: If you have already seen the Chang Ping Gou beauty, then there is no need to go Shuangqiao Gou, special flavor.
3. If you must go Shuangqiao Gou, time, and sufficient, it is best to walk, but the whole trench up to 30 kilometers, and no two days can not, can be staying in the groove Tibetan villages. Sightseeing car just stopped the whole ditch five stations, each site attraction is generally stops 30-40 minutes, and then pushed the speaker began encouraging people to get on the train, and bored. Because you do not, on the other people, you are embarrassed to let a car for too long people wait for you. If you ride, then travel with the self-help groups and no difference. You also have to sit and passed its own tourist cars, or else do not give you the.
4. Siguniangshan to spend money in any one place, must be severely bargain. Here too dark!
