The highlight of the trip is today, and we go to Aden and challenge to a new level. 6:00 am, the outside or the starry we are ready to go. Aden was cold, although we all be able to wear the all dressed, and sat still feel immediately share of the biting cold, especially the toes were frozen as if you fall off like the slightest. Groom holding in front of our horses, wearing very little, walking with each other chat, thirsty on the road to drink a cold creek. You just create sympathy for them suddenly ask you to tip or ask for some of his fancy new gadgets, alpenstock, lightweight raincoat and cold medicine is their first choice.

She was hidden in a lush hint of a small hill behind the lake calm and no trace, the entire snow-capped mountains, pine trees and red maple on the slopes of the reflection of all by her Yongruhuaizhong. In addition to several more amazing to hear only the voice of the shutter, but this little camera, how can this be manifested most powerfully beautiful landscape it! Or with their own eyes it, faithfully record this incredible paradise on earth.
From Pearl Sea to Luorongniuchang to more than 1 hours riding, I rode a horse saddle has been tilted to the left along the way in order to maintain a balance took me a lot of physical strength, until the network when I have exhausted velvet Goba lying on the camp management office a small bed and straight breaths.

After careful consideration, we have two-pronged, in addition to my husband, the Duke of adults there is little Zou Bei Lasi husband and wife going to go up outside, and the rest to withdraw Chonggu Si camp.

15:00, we're back to the Chonggu Si, the sun actually came out again. We are as excited as a child ran and shoot ah, totally forgot that this is 3880 meters of altitude. Mani Dui under the sun shining bright white light, the valley of the grass on the ground a small stream a pair of walking in the trees. Climbed a small hill, the ruins Chonggu Si show his desolation, looking back looked, the mountains of the Tibetan people at home are rising smoke curl. Everything is so calm and peaceful, could not help but hesitate a long time and refuse to leave enough to stare. It is time to see the sunset time, Chong Gusi sunset, when there is early to hear, which is a pair of Sagittarius we are heading in descending one of the reasons, the best scenic spots in and outside of our camp a small clearing. Although just 5 points less than outside the camp had been jammed with tourists waiting for sunset, several long shots, such as small steel cannon-like combat readiness, I have good eyes to see the corner, "Dreaming Inagi," the photographer Lu Hailin, quickly from his there bought one and signed photographs. While waiting for sunset, when visitors to exchange experience with tourism, as mostly Mix all have many common languages, and more online communication has long been a lot of friends in here by chance, talking about them is even more endless. Are chatting, the sun began to slowly downhill, the sun shines on the symbol of King Buddha Xianuoduoji peaks. First, a strong white light, and gradually West Ramp, finally a sudden become a golden light shines in the whole peaks. Only those who experienced it can truly understand the "sunshine Jinshan" feeling!
