Shu Road out of fear, but also because it is unwilling to turn back, we will work that is a program through the border towns and to Zhongdian, Yunnan, Lijiang from Kunming to fly back. 'll Leave Inagi, and we greedily watch the plants and trees that are here: gentle river meandering in the mu-Qing Yang Lin Lane and before, the Tibetans exquisite house in the Barley Shakes the Barley as a fairy in the garden where the distance undulating hills, villages, pastures, cattle and sheep spread the meantime, all seems quiet and calm has been in existence billions of years, ear ringing Tibetan song "Shambhala is not far away", the original Lost Horizon on around us.
To the towns and the road was very dangerous, especially the car over brown bear ditch nearby bottomless bottomless cliff, see people dizzy than Erlang favorably, but fortunately traffic Huancou He, coupled with the driver level of first-class journey seemed more relaxed. Soon feel at home gives us a great vision. Want to know from Kangding out soon now that we have a week without a bath, and this simply is not in the usual intolerable. Remembered at the Geneva Township, green room and board shop in Aden on the wall to see visitors comments: "I rode timber wolf to go back into Cinderella," It's ahead of the game to me. I immediately have dictated one: never good Aden Landscape Department, Kangba guy most loving, the whole body is not afraid of mud the whole, we must remain between the beauty in mind. Inagi trip because of its fabulous scenery and fabulous guy, the hard road, after going through the mind simply can be ignored.
Did not think we are pleased to have too early. In the towns and no water or electricity, we are told the road to Zhongdian, because the rain washed away many. Just sit five or six hours later, the station manager's only bad attitude of the conductor has finally uttered the only words of a cool mind, "on the car car", we have seen coming from the outside Zhongdian's old Barry drilled a small Large scale face first slide tent foreigners, have been Maung as Kham. 1 Q, 8-hour road, they walked a full 38 hours. Not help down puff Liang Qi. Did not expect the same fate immediately fell on our heads.
Because of landslides blocked roads, unscrupulous drivers to drive to a wild bird does not shit in the shop will take care of Huang Cun go drinking. This so I do not know what year and what month, immediately under the strong desire to reach the destination we have found with our graduate students have the same feelings of three boys, back all of the luggage abandoned the vehicle and walk forward. Although it is known here, there are more than 100 kilometers away from Zhongdian, but we feel that a step forward even if the purpose is also from the past that is better than waiting for stronger arrangements for the unknown. Not long after the debris flow to the site. Hill slide of mud and the rocks and rubble, dry twigs, filled with about fifty or sixty meters of the road. There Tibetans come I am a big honey trap facilities attempt to find shortcuts, unfortunately, in this wild place which recognize only the money is not the identification. A fit of anger I have to own in the past must be made. Three boys in front of the past gave us the first demonstration of the deepest mud not to the thigh. I am a former one of the two packages back to Sidi shoes off the baby in his arms, may be able to wear this two-shoes. Mud and water all the mountain snow, good cool, Z has not yet begun to go up on the screaming. Mud foot down at least not the knee, then slowly pulled out, did not walk a few steps so cold that no consciousness. We are afraid socks off, because the mud full of sharp stones, kick pull too fast, white calf bloodstain on a Road. My eyes where tears began turning in circles, but not attend to cry, the foot must not be distracted ah, or else do not know how deep depression! Hands over a stretch is in front of the boy to pick up. Some tears overtaken by joy. With great difficulty we all came for a look, everyone has become a veritable "clay." This year the Red Army over the grass is feeling bar! Such fair-weather allies who come to each other like family members have a Xiangruyimo feelings, in this deserted wilderness, in this hostile environment, the no longer feel lonely and helpless. Dark rain big time, we have found a ride into the wind kcal where people smoke, and thus the way for the four vehicles, and finally 0:00 and see the city lights, Zhongdian to! We actually arrived at the incredible destinations in the day! City this thing no longer showing any time, so warm and fascinating people. Have to admit that one is born a city animal, you love nature, but you can not see signs of human habitation mind a few days on the block much and feel uncomfortable, they begin to bring all the conveniences of a modern miss. Muddy soldiers shouted excitedly, that the situation no less than the victory of the year Red Army arrived in Yan'an.
July 26 --- 27
As the road is put Ruhuasiyu tortured haggard able to camouflage the line and all of the first wet wet, rotten, no one can inadvertently in Zhongdian, Kurume, let another stay in a Shangri-La dream bar! We are parting of the three trials and tribulations brothers, directly to the Lijiang, ready to break it back two days later.
Lijiang, a beautiful laid-back given those of us who travel a full range of comfort tired. Today's Lijiang, a broad street, star-rated hotels than sequential neighbors, compared to seven years ago I saw a quiet little town is simply Huangruogeshi simple. Only four streets, but also to find the shadow of Lijiang ago: Chuan Jie Guo Lane flowing Yulong snow, or as clear Chuanji; Naxi-old mother in their own way forward slowly Duo Fang Bu basking in the sun; ancient Music sounded outgoing remains Nagqu "Shan Poyang." The old town shops restaurants bars straighten get more and more prosperous future for the tourist services provided by various tourism promotion and souvenirs of the delicate, can not be the year in the same breath with the phrase, Lijiang is really progress. The inside of tourists at this time can also be used, "Yourenruzhi", "crowds" and other words to describe. I remember seven years ago, I used this word to describe the ancient city of "Da Zhuosan walking down the street, people should be quiet and fast asleep" in such a situation is nowhere to be found. Any change has its demerits advantage, and the progress of society who can stop. Is not it? Lijiang has changed, but fortunately that I can adapt to moderate changes.
No. 27 is my birthday. That day, I bought the old stone bridge a lot of bells, see water sitting in a small coffee shop where a lot of postcards to write, I would like a better all around to share with each one. After these things done, my heart was full of incomparably calm and fulfillment. Some drifting smoke of the past, people would like to recall everything, but would like to forget everything. Lijiang, is really a place where people imagination.

Lijiang to Kunming to sit this trip the most comfortable Volvo bus, take the most secure high-speed flat road. No wonder that tourism development in Yunnan Province so quickly in recent years, from the hardware is simply Mo Fabi in Sichuan. In the air-conditioned chair of the environment I extremely happy to sleeping 7 hours, if returned to the home goes on ahead of a hotbed. To count, this time sitting out light vehicle trip will be close to 3000 kilometers, Lenovo to the first car to bear Jiuzhaigou samples had to admire the infinite human potential. Journey coming to an end soon, I have to go home a little bit of reality can not be accepted. If watched a movie, unlike his protagonist and the audience are. Finish at the movies, the audience left, the protagonist lost, what, what is the truth itself?
Postscript
Look back at their own travel diary is really a true "travel", almost every one is on the road. I tried to do something really reluctant to cut it, because it feels are so important to every bit of my journey to constitute experience. Without them, the beautiful scenery is just a virtual shell, there is no release of the soul, and only this one tour. Travel What is this? People travel long distances very long way to see a little picture so poor, what is more important? Landscape or the process? I see a lot of tourists in Jiuzhaigou waiting in line at the stone engraved with the names of spots before the camera, they do not use this time to even look around to appreciate the little lake at the foot of wildflowers, or take a look at the rise of blue sky. Z repeated many times along the way such a question: are we so hard for years, worth it? Worth it? No one has given an answer, after all, after everyone has their own answer. Living How beautiful, how happy.
