In mid-October 2002, and went along with several User northwest Sichuan, here is my running account, the United States, called "Gonglue."
D1 10 Yue 10 AT GUANGZHOU - Chengdu Chengdu rain actually purchased during the Fair discount airline tickets: At the six-way fold, 5 fold return, are Sichuan Airlines. Booking Office Tel :020-83553344 ,020-83541575. A320 aircraft, little tail was very bumpy, Suki and I feel a bit nervous, but very pretty flight attendants in Sichuan. From the airport take the bus to go Minshan civil aviation (air ticket), ¥ 10, playing the car to Holly Inn ¥ 8.
David first Chengdu, this is a good live Sam's House, the results go to standard rooms only to find very expensive, ¥ 120 / room, immediately changed to the Holly Inn, for we have laid down the room.

D2 10 Yue 11 Ri Chengdu - Songpan from a sunny morning, a taxi ¥ 9 to the new South Gate Station. The three of us, and Eric to join. Songpan ticket ¥ 73.5. Very new stations, facilities and good, but on the car a bit confusing. 8:00 start, 5:00 pm to Songpan, he drove a very Crazy, about 9 hours, car is the end of Jiuzhaigou, the full price of ¥ 93. Songpan to Jiuzhaigou would also like to 2.5-3 hours. The instructors on board to a certain attraction to memorize something, I do not like installing a tape recorder asked the driver to put the tape would be finished, a waste of labor.
Noon, a car parked in Maoxian before the middle of nowhere in front of shops, restaurants, drivers who have driven the car down to eat lunch. There across the apple orchards, the hostess in the street put a lot of apples and tomatoes. Maoxian had heard that Apple's hometown, of course, can not be missed, bought some local green apple among the rice, sweet is very crisp, only ¥ 0.8 / jin. They pass through many Qiang Zhai, the ruins of an ancient point units, as well as the upper and lower green Haizi Diego Creek, the lake actually, high-speed motorboat!
To the driver hastily Songpan reminders that we get off, and we hastened to scramble to get into the rear baggage, forget the fact, we should get off at the north gate, and again hit a human tricycles special pull our luggage to the cavalry's office, ¥ 4 , walking not very far, but just to the plateau, a little asthma. Along the river, and Happy Trip cavalry cavalry's office door in the north, across the street. Munigou 2 sea 2 days, 2 sea + Zhaga Falls for three days, Xuebaoding four days (the other route, without going through the sea and two waterfalls, gweilo more). The four of us along the river with the Colts about ¥ 70 / person / day, two days to go 2 the sea. We prepaid a ¥ 50. Gama suggested that we add a day expenses to Zhaga Falls, has completed two days time, but heard that horses and people are more tired, and the waterfall scene in general as we gave up.
Happy Trip is the passenger terminal next to the ticket office, inquiring into the Songpan to Jiuzhaigou is the car every morning 7:00 and 1:02 classes, ¥ 20. In fact, according to the locals said that a lot of road cars, but most coaches, waving non-stop.
Night along the river described in Dages hotel stay (formerly the Inland Revenue Department's Guest House), ¥ 25 (later look at other people write zz from sina, there is ¥ 20), with electric blanket and electric water heaters. However, bed sheets, quilt not by who replaced the mattress I slept very smelly! Depriving I suffer from insomnia for a long time.
Hot-pot dinner, meat dish ¥ 8 / copies, vegetarian ¥ 3 / copies of four ate ¥ 90, also did not eat.
Songpan is drying during the day, cold at night, Suki's luggage inadequately prepared, losing no time purchasing a hat at night (to wide along, baseball cap is useless), gloves, scarves, riding, when it turned out useless.
Tips:
1. Maoxian Apple could buy some more to eat in the riding, vitamin supplements.
2. City intersection with Shuiguo Tan, small supermarkets, as well as Alibaba Kebab. There are many grocery stores on the street, open into the night Shidianzuoyou. We are all here supply.
3. A small town without a taxi, is called the human 3, the general ¥ 1-2 yuan per person.
4. Ghosts are four days to go Xuebaoding, because they usually do not Jiuzhaigou, perhaps they could in the hands of Collection Lonely Planet does not recommend it, there are too many people, too commercialized.
D3 10 Yue 11 Ri Songpan - Munigou from sunny to cloudy quite in early because of insomnia, but the girl is something more than go to the Colts ate breakfast more than nine o'clock. Pimps have also linger for a while, is finally launched a ten-point. Along the way mountain scenery getting better and better, the sun more and more fierce, another mountain breeze was blowing, I have been coated sunscreen, black inverted afraid, mainly because sunburn molt, it may hurt. Wear sunglasses, but also surrounded with the scarf face, coupled with a cowboy hat, and I became a masked woman Thief Suki. To a sunny hillside, cavalry refers to us, the distance is Xuebaoding a rolling snow-capped mountains. Unfortunately, a lot of clouds, the white peaks of snow-capped mountains and the sky clouds difficult to distinguish the effect of making them is not good. All the way to go, rest two or three times, and finally about 2 o'clock in the afternoon to the two sea. Unlock the groom on horseback pack bags, we were moved into the scenic area management office next to a cabin, this is our kitchen, next to a log cabin is the dark tonight's accommodation. Said that our luck is good, because no tent camping. Colts three individuals, two people from the hills back to big bundle of firewood, a cooking fire of life. We are not help, also smoked straight away tears. Noon, ate cold noodles cucumber and Lan Hu. When I came to read others zz from sina, to eat, have a heart ready to live in conditions. We all brought food, or eat their own bar, inadequate food and no energy climbing.
Tickets and pitches, a total of ¥ 37 in damages, we bag placed in a management office, we take the initiative to pay they did not close, Lei Feng, ah! In fact, can be attributed to Suki to the management office of a leader of a pack of chalk and cheese powder to ease his toothache. Eric is very corrupt rented a horse (both ¥ 30) Tuozhuo first went to him and his two sea equipment, we insist on walking away Plank Road 3. Because we saw a few elderly people are walking their own, should we also compare them? Remember that is left at large in the mountains, down the right side of Plank Road is, so as not to miss the scenery.
Walk for an hour and saw two blue sea, white flowers little flower prime lake, green, quiet sea, and finally to the hot springs. Picturesque scenery all the way, the murder of a large number of memory (so I am not a professional digital camera), and then backtrack. , Taking into account the difficult stay tonight, I washed my face early in the spring. Unfortunately, have not brought toothbrushes, or else by the way to brush the teeth also. hehehe ... that is the hot springs, also the water temperature is estimated that more than ten degrees, wash face still OK, bathing too cold, especially in this weather, I've been wearing thin down jackets. There Niu Bizi hot springs, very interesting, Niu Bizi-shaped two clutches of water seepage in the rock, but the hot springs than the surrounding water to high-siphon phenomenon? Or from any other underground river veins? The water is neither dry nor overflow. Met the other two riding in a spa tourists coming from three days to go Zhaga waterfall, and a Singapore girl, a boy in Shenzhen, but also along the river Colts, and they encamped place in the scenic area outside the river, away from our huts close. We had arranged to go to their camps at night to see. Girl last night was cold very cold.
After our scenic spots down the door on the lawn of the local Tibetans to buy a bowl of buttered tea, a barley cake. Than cavalry dinner (mixed vegetable vegan noodle sheet) to taste more. Sister gave us Tibetans demonstrate how to pound butter tea, let tea, salt, milk, butter well mixed, pour out of the pale red juice.
After dinner, we walk down along the stream. Star is very bright, even without flashlight. After a river, not far from the camps of Singapore girls, Colts, they burned a bonfire for a very wang, we chatted around the campfire, the way to dry my socks. They have two grooms, more honest, not very talkative. Their tent is not what we usually see that kind of outdoor stores, but Gen Mugun teams up with a few tents, no bottom, with hay, tree branches on the ground and holes and a layer of mattress, the above is a sleeping bag , and indeed very cold. I can not help but start celebrating tonight we sleep in huts.
At ten o'clock the three of us back to huts, Suki the edge of the campfire listening to MD, and a reticent of the groom GG drink a high number of highland barley wine. Good romantic呀! Was very noisy to groom the other two had been sleeping. We use wet paper towels wiping a bit face, crept to drilling wooden windows also lost a piece of glass, cold wind, irrigation come. Shop our mattress on the floor above is the Colts with a thin sleeping bag (just washed there is no horse foul smell - really good luck), then the above is the original sheepskin fabric sewn blankets and tents. We are four and two grooms on the side by side to sleep on the floor. I sleep, and to two points, it was found that we were not asleep all four, so we began to chat quietly, mainly to explore the reasons for insomnia, conclusions could not find. Into the early morning, Suki, and David Cai Shui for a while, me and Eric did not sleep a night. Sleepy, but I can not sleep, this and I experienced insomnia symptoms in Lhasa is the same, I think it is because of mild altitude sickness. Really cold at night, sleep in tents really do not know what will happen?
Tips:
1. Make a full set of sunscreen preparations, because it is really a very drying! Do not forget at the same time protect the face and the hand Fenjing.
2. Riding experience: launched from the side close to the horse, do not back away from the horse to avoid being kicked. The first pre-launched the neck and gently stroked Ma Ma Ma Tau help to increase your confidence. Sitting on the saddle, below the waist must be relaxed, stirrup clip too tight, then your horse will feel the tension, the day down Male people are tired. Horse running time, buttocks do not sit solidly on the saddle, but rather use the legs to power the body forward, put the body on most of the weight on the stirrup, or else the hip, buttocks will be Britain too pain. Reins length should be appropriate, too long and unable to control horse, short horse uncomfortable. When riding the most important clenched the reins tight stirrup tread.
3. I do not know whv especially afraid of horses on the umbrella, umbrella on horseback must not, for fear frightened horse. Ma frightened would scurry into the woods, riding people vulnerable to injuries. Rain only Chuanyu Yi, the sun on the hat.
4. With a good enough food, fruit, especially meat! To eat meat only strength. Beverages are sold only in the scenic ticket, but expensive. More than a little afraid of heavy water (in fact, Malay back), the morning can also be used to brush your teeth (teeth the morning the river can freeze out). Of life in the cavalry, and even drink a cup of hot water are a luxury, it is necessary to make full psychological and material preparations.
5. Dages hotel packages actually want to save money, ¥ 2 / piece.
D4 10 Yue 12 Ri Munigou - Songpan - Jiuzhaigou sunny morning up on the ground outside a thick layer of frost, 10:30 departure, a small river of ice is also not entirely out of. One o'clock in the afternoon we had planned before the shuttle back to Songpan rush to Jiuzhaigou, but the groom to ignore our request, still according to their itinerary to go. The road back is another one, after two Tibetan villages. Ditch is very quiet and gorgeous scenery, water, reed, grass, hillsides, stockade, streamer, yak, such a good view of groom actually let us take pictures dismount! This makes us very, very dissatisfied. Next time when I have a chance to go 2 the sea will certainly go back to my own walk that valley, not far from the scenic entrance, along the highway, take about one hour. Chartered to the two sea should be will be subject to.
Hooked a horse cavalry Road from the highway, and crosses, in the ridge overlooking Xuebaoding again, down the mountain to walk, because the slope was too steep and dangerous riding. Songpan County Shiyou approaching launched, MA line quickly, we are on horseback, overlooking the street, curious pedestrians and vehicles, is above all feel pretty good. (True vanity!)
Back to the Colts finished the rest of the money to pay office, eating a simple lunch meal, and had supplies. Because we have already missed the bus to Jiuzhaigou, we can only chartered go. Chang facet of ¥ 120, in order to secure our package of Santana ¥ 160 / car. Jiuzhaigou two hours to reach the mouth of the traffic through an intermediary to find a hotel near the Fortuna Hotel, talking about ¥ 80 / Standard rooms. Relatively clean, hot water limit supply.
We taxi out to dinner came close to being a taxi slaughter knife. We do not know the taxi Jiuzhaigou is no meter, and one kilometer too lazy to go on the car, and get off the driver when the four of us actually need to pay ¥ 20, because the taxi companies within the provisions of 8 kilometers per ¥ 5 , but the locals are meeting a price. We did not talk to him about prices, then give him ¥ 12 fiasco, the black heart of Jiuzhaigou, there has been a better understanding.
Ridiculous to the evening, join us at the hotel, a total business plan.
Tips:
1. Do not expect too much the quality of the groom, as long as they are doing what work (Qian Ma and take care of room and board) in a PASS. We thought the original simplicity of the local pimps are good, but we encountered two people inside the three grooms glib, no one telling the truth, but also for girls talking dirty joke. Along the way a lot of gossip, but do not give us landscape, place names, a good local landscape will not let us dismount, we could not take pictures bumps on horseback, but also reminders that we always brisk walking. They are Muslims, we do not, but we eat ham that comes with the views they have. I think it might be a good groom have brought foreigners to Xuebaoding of. Next time I'm going to Xuebaoding.
2. From Songpan to Jiuzhaigou chartered driver (Liu master: 13,618,146,079, SANTANA) very shortly, it is responsible.
3. Jiuzhaigou mouth accommodation, eating, playing remember to talk about the price of 10 million.
