A person's journey
Itinerary: Chengdu - Erlang - Kangding - xinduqiao - Tower Public - 8 America - Danba - Xiao Jin - day-long (Siguniangshan) - Chengdu
September 21, 2002, Mid-Autumn Festival. I take the morning flight arrived in Chengdu eight nods. Gloomy weather, it is estimated the possibility of zero at night to see the moon. Abroad there is good wine can be dated no place like home呀. Take the airport bus to the Minshan, in the new South Gate station next to the Kangding bought tickets in the first after the straight-line classes strongly recommended by backpackers paradise - Traffic Hotel. Who would have thought already full, on her own big bag to look for other hotels. Walked the streets in a strange look, I think of a few lyrics: "I went from the East, West, but also went black from white. I want everyone to see me, do not know who I am." On has been the occasion of panting and found a hostel Sichuan Agricultural University, four human 15 yuan / person, bedding fairly clean, and stay there. Then go to the road just to see a Chuanchuan Xiang restaurant for lunch, had intended to eat only twenty or thirty strings Xie Xie slander her surprise, one would not stop to eat together, and ate a total of more than 100 strings. While the spicy tongue straight vomiting, coughing, nose tears, DC, a pair of tragic phase, but it is real incense. Checkout before eating a 14 yuan, the value of.
Contented back to hostel to sleep all afternoon, up 5 points have been more. Stomach is still burning, and dinner decided not to spicy food.
However, the Mid-Autumn Festival night呀. A man walked slowly along the river before the government, although the sky can not see that one can be pinned Acacia moon, but pleasantly surprised to find that the river flows slowly with a slowly waving a candle light. Small candle flickered with the hands of the countless good wishes. It turned out that this is Mid-Autumn Festival in Chengdu were customs and traditions. At this time, come in front of a ship, pounding on drums, and crowded, people will be a lamp into the rivers. My mood with this delightful scene flying together, one person away from home also will be traveling the sense of vanished.
22, the morning came to the new South Gate station, backpack, or car, sit down. Think of it this evening will be able to reach the Happy Yo's Kangding, you can not help with emotion. Sitting next to a young glasses, pass the time chatting. Watch out, he told me to walk very much admire a person's heart, a kind of sense of vanity.
11 points, the car stopped in front of the original is the famous tunnel of Erlang Mountain. As the road from the Erlang Mountain road to Kangding, the vehicle alone into the double-out, but have to wait for 17 o'clock in order to release, had to get off Xia Guang. A car will work on the Paiqichanglong. Fortunately, the surrounding scenery is true that those who have back packages of Mix can Xia Liao, time really flies.
By Erlang Mountain Tunnel, traffic suddenly very poor incomparable, due to non-stop racing, the car stop-go. In the evening to reach Luding, one hidden in the mountains in the ordinary town. Luding Bridge in the mist lying in the Pentium the Dadu River, the bridge is not high from the surface of the water, feeling short of expectation in the magnificent. Bridge, the people coming and going home from work, and against the background of primary school students skipped the famous iron bridge this gives people a sense of crisis is over now.
21:00 more, and finally came to Kangding, thousands of blocks in a small town in China, not knowing the well-known love songs is how to create out of here. In any case, has finally come to this Happy Yo's Kangding. The weather is very cold, began to snow. My original plan was to go Inagi, but one station in Kangding inquiries to Inagi the car did not like I originally planned to arrive the day, but must spend the night in Litang. As a result of my trip will be very tight, and from what exchanges Mix said Inagi now the weather is also bad mood is not very good. Then encountered two Shanghai Mix intended to take the xinduqiao, tower the public, I had planned second program as well. Therefore be different under this journey! Hey, Inagi, Maybe I'll really have to become my dream of Shangri-La. Accompanied by more than a night off river roaring sound of the water, sleep, no words.
The next morning, I and the composition of the two Shanghai Mix temporary detachment to xinduqiao embarked on the long march. Poor weather, very cold. In the folding multi-pass (an altitude of about 4400 meters) in the cold snow goose feather crazy to fly under the clamor, heaven, earth, mountains, deep valleys, winding road all the spread of a vast expanse of whiteness. This is the Sichuan-Tibet line, I think.
More than two hours later, arrived in xinduqiao town. Xinduqiao more than 3500 meters above sea level, a scene in late autumn and rain hard. After a short break to take the tricycle called the "first possession of Jia Zhuang" Deng beads home Dondrub out drum, a sturdy Kham guy behind him against the background with several beautiful Tibetan house. Not far away, golden yellow poplar leaves fluttering in the wind and rain.
Door, Kaohuo. Belly down a bowl of buttered tea, chill Dunxiao, hospitable Dondrub a person to take us to visit their beautiful home. Deng Tibetan clothes to wear beads, and Tang Chu family pictures taken, and my heart's very beautiful.
Due to bad weather, only a break in the house three in the afternoon and the sun is out! Sprinkle golden sunshine after the rain Lanlansansan to grassland, yaks leisurely Sanzhao step, while the golden poplar leaves shining in the sun light. The face of this beautiful scenery, in addition to continuously press the shutter can do it.
The three along the road ahead. In front of a stockade, a few women in the wall Kangba sun, I decided to give them a photograph, and even that with hand gestures for a long time and finally understood that they refused to, and perhaps shy bar. Had to walk away disappointed. Who would have thought a moment, we came back, took them to want me to take pictures, I think they must be discussed for a long time. Daoshi next to a group of children Khampa generous, ever asked me to photograph them.
In the evening, the rain there came up. After dinner, and sitting around the stove Kaohuo Deng beads and chat. Dondrub beat butter tea for us personally, do tsampa, tastes great. Chatting chatting, turn on the knives. Tang Chu tells us identify good knives know-how, and read out his spirits high, get up to the back room out of his knives to us, it really was a good knife, Deng Chu proudly. Then I took out my Swiss Army knife, Deng beads do not see good and bad. When I say that this knife, when nearly 300 yuan, Tang Chu surprise, he do not understand how such a small knife so expensive. But then he began to regret it very much, we asked how he, and Deng Chu haltingly told us long ago a Mix to send him a knife so he thought worth sending money readily with people. Poor Deng beads! We watched him regret like straight smile rock with laughter. Mix in Shanghai who advised Dondrub: That knife must be fake, nothing to regret it!
Hey, maybe years later, recalled that once a distant town, such a cold rainy night, beautiful and unfamiliar hidden room, a warm stove and butter tea, cordial and passionate Tibetan brothers, in a dream I'll still laugh out loud . Dear friend, I wish you never Tashi Chandler!
Wake up the next morning, the sun shed through the morning mist, the sky was clear and good weather! Bid farewell to Deng beads, to continue our journey, today's arrangement is xinduqiao to the tower of public grasslands, after eight Tibetan stone country of the United States arrived in 1000 - Danba.
Car in the potholed road bumps along the roadside scenery is surprisingly good. A clear stream flowing forward is always accompanied by highway, golden golden poplars sway in the water reflection. Hill flocks of yak cozy eating grass. Several of our people are the beauty of America is down, while the same car but the Tibetan brothers went off to bed, chat chat, did not notice the scenery, perhaps perennial which has long been accustomed to a life bar.
Datta car soon to the public, are still under our post too far away. Tower of public town is a simple and quiet little town, and a look outside the town is a boundless prairie. After a brief stay in the United States we continue to ride to worship Yarra Kamiyama 8. Be hailed in the street, on the train to find a good seat to sit down, out of the car on the public and the town tower. At this time, car window a magnificent sight I will never forget: the distance, a white flashing light snow from the mountains in the pride of haughty head out in the blue sky, as the emperor-like look at the foot of the of the earth, mountains, cattle and sheep, including us. "Yalla Kamiyama!" I can not help but blurted out. Majestic, sacred Yala Kamiyama ah, people have to pray to you, the top film. As the plan to eight after the car rental to the worship America Yala Kamiyama, here I did not capture the majesty of holy mountains, Who could know that King-shing, I deeply regret. After the car arrived in the United States 8, we can not wait to go to the local tourist reception center for car rental. Shuiliao a Tibetan older sister's reply greatly disappointed us, because two days before the rains, poor road conditions can not be into the mountains. This seems somewhere had arranged Heaven, let me a chance encounter with the Yarra Kamiyama become the eternal memory.
8 United States is Kham Tibetan inhabited areas, in addition to backpackers can not find a Han Chinese, and this point in my last eight Danba the United States to be confirmed after long-haul trucks. These two days has been accompanied by two Shanghai people have to go to Daofu, we shook hands in farewell. Danba a person to set foot on the car. I filled the car had a backpackers, others are local Khampas. Although the language barrier, but see that they are very friendly, and with a curious look at me, just as the Chinese people in the streets of the seventies and eighties, like a foreigner. They use me as a "foreigner" had! Remove the chocolate given to children beside him, who took over for my sweet smile. A little girl get off halfway towards my little hand waving, Tibetan rumble, then I do not speak, but the innocent and lovely smile I understand, but also understand her last sentence: "Bye-bye".
As good as the scenery outside the window, climb several large clutches of hill after hill in front of me and legends of the devil if they crossed the mountain end of the world also arrived. Fortunately, it did not cross in the past. 16:00, 1000 Tibetan stone house of the country - Danba appeared in front of me.
Nonstop, immediate ride to see the ancient Tibetan stone house. Gangchu Danba City, a variety of ancient Tibetan stone house on a hillside on the thing that catches the eyelids. 1000 Tibetan stone of the country, well-deserved reputation.
Iron Bridge, in a car stopped hanging bridge a card and a letter to "dangerous bridge" word. Taxi driver volunteered to give me a tour guide, two across the bridge. Walking for half an hour of the mountain to the ancient Tibetan stone house, has now Qichuanruniu. The driver of the stockade where a Tibetan old mother rumble for a while and pick up the old lady on a bamboo pole in the trees a while knocking, falling five apples, gave me, and turned to go back. "Eat." Driver. Old mother had to fight Apple's thirst for us. Full of gratitude to bite apple, sweet. As the sun sets under the golden sunshine of the ancient Tibetan stone house has become more majestic style, black-brown Tibetan stone body as if hewn ancient story. Backlight, Backlight side, the shutter kept flashing forward to. The surrounding is very quiet, trees, stockade, and the ancient Tibetan stone it is very harmonious and serene, they are so far away lying still in this millennium. Took a few corners Tibetan stone, octagonal Tibetan stone house of the photos, with a Tibetan young man into the inside corners Tibetan stone. This year the ancient Tibetan stone looks very old Tibetan stone house for a very dark, dust fall from time to time. Upward, and the high Tibetan stone house through the roof and saw a little blue sky. A wood chisel is a ladder of even a few pits. Gingerly stepping on the most primitive of the oldest to climb the ladder. Young man asked: "This is when the ladder?" "Do not know when it might be built there this Tibetan stone house. That Tibetan stone house eating my grandfather before that time will have no repair." "This is when Tibetan stone house built?" "several thousand years it." I am really, in this adventure of the ancient Tibetan stone house inside! Carefully to climb, and soon afterwards had been sweating, and coupled with the dust falling from time to time, and made like a mummy I do not like the terracotta warriors and horses also. Edge to edge to climb lad introduced me to this Tibetan stone house. The lower the original Tibetan stone house is a storage room used to store food and other daily necessities. If the enemy attacks, the whole family into the Tibetan stone house, the entrance sealed, you can not have a Tibetan stone house a few months. Tibetan stone house in the middle is the living room, occupied areas. Beyond that there is send the archers to mouth, muzzle, and look-out port, send the archers to open fire immediately after the enemy was found, along with strategically located and difficult terrain in the vicinity, easily defended, really Yifu Guan Wan Fu Mo when open. Lying in the small observation port outward looking, Tibetan stone house outside of glance. Imagine an ancient battle scenes, swords, full steam ahead. Himself seems to have become a sturdy Tibetan soldiers, pick up the bow and arrow defend the country.
From the Tibetan stone house inside out, pat off the dust, Only a closer look to play this ancient Tibetan stone house. This corner Tibetan stone house is about thirty or forty meters high, like a GU Jian-pierce straight into the sky. Tibetan stone full body was constructed with stones and mud, standing in a thousand years but still rugged, people have to admire the superb ancient Tibetan wisdom. And this corner there is a Tibetan stone house next to the more peculiar octagonal Tibetan stone, this octagonal Tibetan stone evidently not been completed. Tibetan stone house has eight angle, complex shape, covering a slightly more, but it is very harmonious, in this piece of Tibetan stone base is extremely bright. Tibetan stone house around this star anise has many beautiful legends. I have become masters, to that guy talk in Tibetan, I heard a legend: In the past, a pair of mother and son in order to pilgrims in Lhasa, Tibetan stone house in this building. The rich man looked very strange, I thought, you poor wretch find the money to a pair of Tibetan stone house built? So he sneaked into the night I must take that mother and child at home, they may have a steady stream of changes in the Po basin out of money to. The rich man looked jealous, it will be stolen treasure basin. That mother has lost pots of money to continue to build Tibetan stone treasure, so there is no built this octagonal Tibetan stone house. Tibetan young man sighed: "Yes, every one Tibetan stone house where there are many beautiful legends ah."
As the sun sets, the ancient Tibetan stone house in the sun suffused with magical luster, as if adding endless spiritual. Reluctant to part of the farewell to the ancient Tibetan stone house, set foot on their return journey. Looked back to the ancient Tibetan stone brown body standing at the setting sun, like a bit of Tibetan elderly people waving goodbye to me: "Tashi Chandler, bon voyage!"
Today is September 25, it is necessary to leave the Danba had. The dark sky up again, as if I want to stay in the distant guests. Today, I will arrive in the last leg of the trip: Alps Siguniangshan known as the East. And to spend four days in the Siguniangshan to thoroughly enjoy the leisurely pace to make a mountain Suburban.
, Arrived on Long Zhen, bad weather, but also it began to rain. Novo I was the only one large hotel guests. Point of constantly lying in bed listen to the rain hit the windows, the distant mountains and cloud cover fog cover, fleeting like a fairy. 26, up early, the rain had stopped but the fog is not casual. To listen to the locals talk about Siguniangshan fine weather when the scenery was only the United States, to hell with it, both to the security of, chances are more beautiful sight to see it. Walk the World was originally a kind of mood, while the most beautiful scenery only in mind. Up the hill! I choose to first go to Shuangqiao Gou, this ditch is about 34 kilometers. Arrive by car and then walk out of the trench. Mist-shrouded mountains around again I am the only one person. While in the city revive a deep breath of fresh air, while loudly singing "Tibetan Plateau", although the tune may be accompanied by birds for me, yak is a loyal audience, so that is fairly sweet. Roadside tree knot of wild seabuckthorn fruit full of string to hand Zhai a placed in the mouth, sour, and delicious. Pm rain again falling. Back to the stay of the "Carl cottage" next door girl was admitted to two Hong Kong. Finally someone to chat, I think. Meet Tomorrow, go with the sea ditch. Accompanied by rain the night to sleep, no words. Surprisingly, the rain still wake up, the mood is not so good, but is still scheduled to ride up the mountain. Along the way snowstorms, terrible, and two girls in Hong Kong, even worse, who is almost wet. I thought, when Red Army is also much better than this strike. To Siguniangshan has been three days, and four long-Shayang not seen the girl, people Wohuo.
Siguniangshan 28th is my last day of Heaven at last to the face, exposing the brilliant sun father smile. In the Chang Ping Gou finally see the whole picture Siguniangshan! If you use "magnificent" to describe the Yala Kamiyama, then Siguniangshan is "beautiful" the. More than 6200 meters above sea level so far no one can climb to the top of Siguniangshan. Afternoon, satisfied from the Chang Ping Gou down, hit Tibetans card, the first cat to take us to the bridge of the nose to see the sunset, and then Meet in the evening to his house to eat Kaoquan Yang! Sunset afterglow with Kaoquan Yang temptation for my trip draw a perfect end.
29, the package by Cartier van crossing the altitude of 4600 meters of the Balang Shan pass, after the hometown of giant pandas - Chengdu, Wolong Nature Reserve in return. Drifting along, a dust and countless wonderful memories I have of this constitutes a person's journey.
