About Inagi
Back to Shenzhen, and re-enter the first day of city life, the spirit of some of trance, I feel completely exhausted, both physically and mentally unable to immediately adjust the over, Inagi Aden Kamiyama holy water, still in the mind emerge. Perhaps because of the dangerous journey, perhaps the contrast between city life and long-term habit is too strong, or perhaps deliberate pursuit of their own feeling that this trip to Sichuan to be particularly profound feelings. Always forget that in the Luorongniuchang the morning, when the clouds gradually dispersed, Yang Maiyong Kamiyama the beginning of the current of that moment, the kind of sobering moment felt the shock, my nearly 30 years now every day and night, as if suddenly mind, flash off, all of condensation in the immediate beauty: the holy mountain, Cheng Lan sky, golden sun ---- what is even more drunk than it does?

Aircraft late night shift, although this is the first time over the passenger seat 340 such a large aircraft, and I feel still some frustration.
Arrived in Chengdu is already 1:30, playing the straight door transport in New South Hotel, found that the Internet strongly recommended backpacker really disappointing --- the Holy Land do not talk dirty, worn-out, the system was too rigid ---- almost 2 o'clock, still insist on selling only the room do not sell beds, large state-owned shop was also a common problem bar.
The teacher introduced the rickshaw and finally found shelter to settle down (in an alley opposite the station), the already 2:30. Sleep in a small bed, listening to the rain outside the window the sound of a fully clothed daze's clothes, a bit worried that tomorrow will be the next heavy rain.

Has been waking up early, rain is also the next stop. Remembered the next day to Daocheng of the votes, hurried to the new South Gate station, fortunately, found that the station is welcome National Day, previously only available only in the 27 bus into the grid every day, today is the first class 8:30. Secretly glad that they are buying the machines of yesterday night, thank God, today, immediately begin my journey Daocheng!
Immediately called and Shenzhen, two User connected to the head, got on Beijing encountered two groups and two in Guangzhou Women's maverick, it is natural for us to form a self-tour of the seven Daocheng team, I have been very like this to get to know the feeling of a friend --- we are all young people, unity of purpose and similar interests, there is no reason why come to the stage with the go?
All the way high-speed, on both sides of the scenery and the Guangzhou-Shenzhen is no different from noon to Yaan, when the saw 39 Ya'an Pharmaceuticals signs, flash across the mind of thought of its own shares in Shenzhen (Why, out is to forget that Shenzhen everything, how they think of the stock?).
In Yaan lunch, a bowl of noodles Xiadu marked ribs, suddenly "enjoy" the spicy Sichuan, general all-round feel --- "to the Sichuan Province of."
After a Tianquan, road conditions gradually deteriorated over mountain up, think of immediately to climb the Erlang Shan, feeling a little excited, which is famous Sichuan-Tibet line insurance first off, how in the end like?
"Shudao difficult, extremely difficult for." Erlang can be said is one representative of a narrow mountain bend over very suddenly, the rain suddenly fog, climate variability, there is a road has been shuttling in the fog to see out the window of the cliff, was actually clouds fluttering abysmal, it is a bit worried, cast a glance of a big brother to the back of the driver, thinking, man, this saved his life today handed over to you.
Erlang Mountain Tunnel was built before the mountain there are odd and even day restrictions. Then read the two sets of a central unit program on Tibet know, when the armed forces to build the Erlang Mountain road, some places can only hanging down from the mountains above the embedded explosives, we can see the difficulties and dangers in the Erlang Mountain road. Was built in Erlang Mountain Tunnel is an embodiment of the hard work of countless people, many of them even lost their lives. It greatly facilitated the completion of roller coaster cars, eight minutes or so, we crossed more than 4500 meters of the tunnel, starting down the road.
After the completion of said tunnel, visitors reduced a scenic journey that is in the Erlang mountain top overlooking the distant snow-capped mountains Gongga 8, but I do not seem to find a trace of regret, I feel a taste of more great things.
Lu determined after more than 3 points, far to see Lu fixed bridge. I have for history, the monuments do not have much interest in right Lu will take a look at the bridge also is far from the only. 5 pm to reach Kangding, this song is famous because of the small town unique, a river which traverses the city before, Pao Mashan claim to fame, but not high, looked far from ordinary.
Overnight transport hotels, fast 12-point night, when the gang to eat, "Chuanchuan Xiang", the taste is extremely delicious, but the fear of a bad stomach, dared not open up to eat, it is regrettable.
2001.9.27
6 points early in the morning to move forward and hazy in the morning hee crossed the 4,700 meters of pulling off a mountainous, hazy fog along mountain, 8 o'clock xinduqiao through photography heaven, the sun had come out to see a villages, crystal clear streams hurry hurry , Autumn is the beginning of the trees, Tibetan houses, Mani Dui, streamer with Baita, gradually began to feel the breath of autumn Tibet.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! All the way over mountains and kept a hurry, climb the higher Wales Mountain (elevation 4416 meters), scissors Bay Mountain (elevation 4659 meters), clamp La Mountain (elevation 4718 meters), large tracts of highland pastures, all the way from time to time to see There are many black spots across the mountains white spots, it is strange, a closer look, it was found that the white black sheep is a yak, marveled at.
What impressed me most was crossing the clamp pull mountain, shuttle bus in the mountains constantly plate, the plate, and after arriving to the top should start to drive, but he suddenly discovered that the present was actually a plain and small hill, feeling as if Deng stage, once has reached a height, suddenly into the highlands, and I feel stir.
12:30 arrived in Litang, parking meters feel the pull of the highland town of 5,000 breath, ending a journey Sichuan-Tibet line, and then go west went to Tibet in. Distant Seibo, low gray clouds, as if Tibet in sight, secretly sigh - Tibet, one day I will come.
Bus station at noon on the edge point of a bowl of wonton shop to do lunch and found the boss wife used a pressure cooker in the cooking, the result is naturally a bowl of confused, ponder how the local people before the invention in a pressure cooker to cook it? This question asks me because we are all laughing, but there is no answer.
The car turned south, crossing the Cacalia Hill, Haizi Shan (elevation 5,000 m above), Hai Zishan a barren, Barry looked around everywhere, large and small radius of stones, rather like the prehistoric land of a road on our 1 cars, Ji Chongchong hurry forward, behind Yi Gu coolness arises spontaneously, in case ... ...
Fortunately, there is no case, at around 8 pm, and finally to see the destination in the hazy night ---- Inagi.
The reason is probably tired and hungry bar, twilight of the Inagi not imagine the United States, only a very common one small town in western Sichuan, and the streets, many shops open for foreigners and tourists, and occasionally see a handful of Kham people.
Stay overnight in milk and baby home, live in double rooms may be the opposite was actually a room to sleep 20 people, Chase, said a few days later there will not be around when the National Day availability, this room had been scheduled for three days.
2001.9.28
7 points early in the morning to begin our journey again. Originally thought that the National Day has not arrived yet people do not too much, to the station only to find large and small Daocheng backpacker is a large dark mass is really a bit worried Aden mountain tents will be very nervous.
Daocheng to Japanese guns from the dirt road, dusty way, he saw the driver cast a glance of a woman next to him, look quite quirky, a look, the girl with a big hospital like face masks, breathing quietly. Antan of its preparatory work to do at home.
The road is extremely difficult, but on both sides of Autumn is surprisingly beautiful, quiet villages, crystal-clear river, teeming school of pastoral scenes, either in Yunnan experience has taught me is impossible in the bumpy car captured a good photo, I am afraid I was in a way Kuangpai.
The most impressive is the way encountered the villagers, especially children, to see we have a force of waving hands, his mouth still shouting what we listen closely, was actually "BYEBYE".
Always forget such a landscape: stream across the fields, several buildings Tibetan houses, a 89-year-old little girl's father, holding cattle for the land, to see our car to drive, the little girl stopped , forced up and down waving at us, and her father stopped Lie Kaizui laughed at us, waving hands, the afternoon sun shines on this quiet father and daughter's body, beautiful and pure.
Jiva at noon on the famous green food, vegetables in general, simple Sichuan flavor, they also ate with relish.
Shangwancesuo out, see How many pieces on the slopes next to barley leaves in the dark blue of the sky is, of spirit, took a close-up, after the effect of washing out was actually surprisingly good, clear abnormalities.
6:00 or so, the bones in the body of the meter will fall to pieces, cars entered the village of Aden.
Aden in an emerald valley surrounded by mountains and surrounded by Tibetan houses everywhere are already smoke everywhere, in the sunset shines, the mysterious and beautiful.
The car, suddenly countless men and women of the Tibetan grooms catch up a little bit nervous. Pimps are very friendly, smile, has been with us and tell us to go buy a ticket to unity. We have decided today to Luorongniuchang, managers, and a lot of grooms are shaking their heads, saying that too late too late, urged us to live in camps or on the 1st Chonggu Si.
Riding all the way up the mountains, carried away in front of groom, horse walking very carefully on the road can be, but in some places some of the mud. The mountains on both sides of unusual quiet in the twilight, we follow the stream and on, feeling the fresh air. The more going up on an additional layer of coolness, stream leaves some yellow, some red, people feel the autumn atmosphere. Chonggu Si around a Muai around and river babble blowing How many pieces with the pine trees, like a fairyland, Is it really a temple where there Xian Qi, or should I say when the temple was built to choose a place with Aura?
After a red ancient checkpoint is about 20 o'clock, in our repeated requests, the caravans had promised to continue to send our last Luo velvet, six-member delegation jumping for joy.
In another three days is the Mid-Autumn evening, the moonlight is also very good, ho on the sky, shining a man in our one pedestrian. Sky, white clouds, the distant snow-capped mountains, pine and cypress along the roadside bushes, in front of the back of the rocking ---- around the groom was actually surprisingly clear, like daylight, but also add a touch of mystery, "the morpholine, the morpholine" crisp, sweet horse ring tones, echoed in the quiet mountain road, the ear is also the distance came the faint buzzing sound of the water should be melting snow-capped mountains of water it, really different kind of experience. The weather has become increasingly cold, sore leg bones were frozen hair, ears, had to do faint pain, temperature, probably close to zero in quickly.
Noon on top of a bowl of wonton to the present, already hungry Buxing Le, take a look at the table is already at about 10 o'clock. Was going on at once would be a nap, a turn to see at a distance col shining a dim light, heard the groom said: "That is a pile of Luo."
Lighting is that three large tents filled with simple camp bed, closely-packed rows with, I am afraid there are over 20, this time is snoring one.
The next day the camp a Guangzhou friend asked: "Are you not afraid of so many can not find the bed at night to live?" I smiled and said: "not afraid of big deal to the cattle farm of the cow go to bed one night."
2001.9.29
More than 6 points early in the morning woke up, after all, nearly 5,000 above sea level in places. Glad that they are taking a muscle Gan early films, has not been any altitude sickness. Tent has been to get up, sleep a night, take a look at next to actually sleep with a girl, An Tan.
In order to see sunshine Jinshan, Tian-Gang Meng Meng Liang Jiupaqilai, and out of the tent they saw the dark clouds filled the still, under the rain, I really afraid of hardships coming here, but do not see the true capacity of snow-capped mountains.
Amin together with Guangzhou, to cattle in central forward, to find the best angle of snow-capped mountains. Early in the morning, cold pressing, hands and feet actually feel a bit stiff. At the foot of large and small meadow, at first glance thought it was the long grass of the cow dung. Step in a meadow to move forward, a short while the rain stopped, and the plateau, the weather is so fickle. Yang Maiyong front left Xianuoduoji, right Xiannai Ri at the top have been a tightly around large clouds, gloomy.
More and more people around them, gathered on the grass, looking forward to, finally, with the first hug in the golden sunlight of gray Meng Meng Yang Maiyong top of the hill, the sacred mountain seems to have been sleeping awoke, and Yang Maiyong a little bit of looming in the sky, but it is always still hold lute. Days more and more light, in the "murder" I do not know how many films later, with the final hug a cloud released into the atmosphere, Yang Maiyong raising the veil, and finally exposed金身.
It was a shock of Mo, and even a bit dizzy feeling. There is no sign has come to be scattered in the mist after every picture can be reflected, I have a motor impulse to the top Sunday. Back to Shenzhen for almost half a year, often recalls the day early morning, excited still, maybe this world really God, but also perhaps too obsessed with himself, anyway, that moment, in the hillside meadow full of Napian, in that col, in that We have been called "Luorongniuchang," where a body frozen Duoduosuosuo people, one of the two-hour plane ride, three day car, on horseback bumpy six-hour, across mountains and seas, body and mind have been exhausted, it is the verge of collapse who threw himself in front of the holy mountains melted in the holy water: warm soft sunlight, holy snow-capped mountains, blue sky was breathtaking, gentle, yet awe-inspiring group of Group yak, clear bottomed out but the biting cold creek ... ... in your racking hardships, physical in spirit gone through many hardships, finally reached the heart of the holy places, the feeling is that fear is a joy, such as the load is released, is sacred, finally, an ethereal, this is the meaning of the pilgrimage Shangri-La Bar ... ...
It'll never forget this moment.
8:30, eats breakfast, begin our five-color sea journey. I had one in Shenzhen, prepared to write a "five-colored sea, 5200," the slogan, Shique forget to bring out the tent. Provincial physical, we have to go riding for a while, has been approaching Yang Maiyong foot of the mountains and started climbing.
Sea-colored sea and milk are Xianuoduoji hill and began to feel not too tired, stop-go, getting non-stop, mountain is not steep, but for Yang Maiyong on the left, to like crawling Lotus Hill, when crossed a streamer to reach the final section of 1,000 meters fail at nearly 70-degree slope, the elevation of more than 5,000, no roads, lack of oxygen, has to think, still haunt the past few days have been riding in the car, physical exertion is not small , but the real consumption of physical strength, really want a hands-on, but at this time. The Internet has long been a difficult read this paragraph, did not expect it so hard. Teeth, on the bar as far as possible buried climbing, did not dare look back but look afraid of turning down the mountain, take two steps to stop and breathe a breath, suck oxygen, fear of high bit onset of old trouble again, calf some become soft, probably wind Khan Daomei how out longing hands and feet, to a real "climbing."
Then hand stretched over a large hold me, rough but strong, looked back and the groom is a peer leader for my Han Han's smile and said: "Now has arrived." You can not help burst of warmth, but thanked him and decided to go their own way still.
Climbed up a high ground, feeling that some become soft is already exhausted. Around four weeks is actually surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Yang Maiyong peaks seem to reach the opposite side. Is paralyzed it sitting on the grass panting, Guangzhou Amin in front of us on a hillside force wave: "quick up and see colored the sea!"
Struggling to climb to go, and finally saw the colored sea, small size, very pure, at an altitude of more than 5000 meters of snow-capped mountains, the snow-capped mountains of the melt water should be a bar, there is wind out of date, are appearing throughout the lake waves. Who do not understand things like a young girl, has been quietly waiting for this for the majestic snow-capped mountains in the Xianuoduoji father's feet.
Stand colored sea, the bow looking reflection in the lake on the snow-capped mountains and white clouds, looking upward to see pure blue sky, think of a thousand miles away in Shenzhen right and wrong, just like Kate.
Come back often think that the fun part of travel planning in advance, part of the journey on some of it is on tourism feelings, and truly reached the destination, but that is not the greatest fun. Colored the sea is one such example, she does not in itself the United States, the most beautiful Haizi in Jiuzhaigou, but the colored sea journey Daocheng ---- a symbol of the highest elevation of the journey is a testament to challenge themselves, Haizi itself America is not the United States, there is no shocking, but rather followed by a.
September 30, 2001, when overcast down down Piaoqi the rain, watching the time riding mountain travelers immediately, each face are the words "fear", if racking hardships, to the lo Cashmere can not see anything would be much regret that!
Daocheng the way back to hear the car talking about friends, is said to 1-51 per year, 11 such a big fake, particularly large number of visitors, when Aden usually it rains, do not know is not true, perhaps yes Kamiyama really intelligent, unwilling to be too many people bother?
October 1, 2001 -2 days
All the way hard, busy schedule, traveling back to Chengdu. Re-enter the city's arms, standing at the mouth of Salt City, the streets, watching the busy streets of modern high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, a distance Tianfu Square, Chairman Mao's statue, surrounded by the bustling crowd, hawkers were loud cries for buying the sound of a sudden feel completely lost and helpless --- Daocheng days trip like a dream, beautiful and fleeting, can only remain forever in the memories of.
