Quiet Kola River

Last year in October, I accompanied Yajiang County Tourism and Culture expedition into western Sichuan for a hinterland, we never had visitors before entry, has not been an outsider to disturb generations to live in this land Khampa people contented and Tian Ran madding crowd. The concept of tourism is the first time into the language of the local villagers. Germany is poor, this is a beautiful virgin land is not virgin tour.

Tea-Horse Road Inn has become the starting point for a mysterious trip

Tea-Horse Road Inn served the West Russian Lodi Township, Jie Chu village turned into a bad starting point for us into Germany. From the county to West guro way, we marveled Tea-Horse Road remains, how many ups and downs, how much Joy and Sorrow, Trail grace dependencies, such as a history of growth rings, this piece of magic in the western Sichuan land winding ups and downs, It is starting from a distant place, but also disappeared in the mountains at the end.
West guro Pearl Village is a township of the kit seat of government, more than 3500 meters above sea level, Yishanbangshui, is a rare high altitude terrain of the valley flat. Where the Tibetan mastiff, as with Tibet, all with large chains Shuanzhe, the same fierce, frightening. Tibetan villages are mostly two-storey building, the upper ranks of people, the lower glove, with a thick cone-shaped stones Leiqi total of Qiangduo reminiscent of some ancient towers.
West guro people like outsiders is recommended Guo Gangding. We are riding up the mountains, through the golden birch forests and a green pine forest, more than 1 hours to arrive at the altitude of 3850 meters of the Gangding. The road is very rugged mountains, to the Gangding then suddenly open a golden Autumn Jinxian Bazi. Guo Gangding surrounded by an undulating ridges and peaks, Gangding would appear from the summits of the lotus flowers woven into the core, geographic phenomenon was really a bit strange, no wonder the locals as sacred. Gangding has an ancient temple ruins, there are a thousand years of history, destroyed 300 years ago. Existing Mani Dui, monasteries are there any residual Gen Cooper-line roller, the more people approached, the more sense of solemnity.

German tourists have not set foot in difference

In the plan, from the West, Russia and Luo Xiu Road to Germany a simple difference, the current expedition and his party can only be abandoned along a shortcut to the German poor. Far distance, about 40 kilometers, but the road to more than three hours.
To the second stop for the next Germany is poor, there is the expedition's main objective, the county government to develop and plan is Decha Township, three villages --- upper, middle and poor natural resources, under Germany, under the township government is located in Germany is poor, where the population is relatively a little more than the other villages the size of large villages.
Poor and West Germany separated by a guro mountains, the expedition team to the valley along the stream ahead and jumped over a snow plot was still being known locally as the ancient Asian Kamiyama Osaka, before entering the German poor. Passing through an altitude of about 4,000 meters in Osaka, a rocky beach along the pavement has become a chaotic, off-road vehicles in this road driving, mechanical wear and tear too, it is difficult to attract visitors to come, the county government has embarked on road thing, said next year will not need to take this shortcut and reproduction of this Osaka. I do feel a bit sorry that this road though abandoned, but the scenery along the way a lot of flavor, brawl torrent of the brooks, rocky beach, broken bridge and crashing fell to the ground a dried tree trunk, the colors of the autumn woods, monotonous than the vegetation nice new road.

Perhaps the difference has never been isolated in German magistrate to enter into the German expedition has become the highest standard deviation of the guests, the arrival of the German expedition also become a bad event. We are ahead on the slopes has been the welcoming of the Songchai gracefully, rinse good butter tea, a small slip from the county and passes him a long table filled with food. The villagers put on newly installed under the guidance of Lama, crowded slopes. One to see our team monks lit Songchai so thick wood-smoke in the valleys between the wind Piaowu up them to the local religion, the most solemn ceremonial welcome to wait for the arrival of the expedition team and a deputy county .
Walked down the ancient Asian Kamiyama, more than 2800 meters above sea level difference of the German people feel a different kind of grace, another charm. It is different in many parts of western Sichuan There are many large and small, Bazi, and streams of the Pentium or implicitly associated with the original forests are now, from the mountain point of view, these Bazi like dolphin pearl inlay on this piece of virgin land on. Bazi small as a basketball court, large compared to a huge stadium, but also unusually flat, not to mention horses, one wanted to open up access to a broad hoof Bazi running, as we see the such a scattered layered Bazi wanted to draw horse bolted. Riding a horse walk through virgin forest mountain streams, or run in the caoba son to visit other people's livestock grazing accounts, coupled with the thick blue autumn sky and the blossoming white clouds, stunning scenery enough to people to get carried away.
Decha will wear silver ornaments of women, married women's head will be rolling the size of a silver bowl with two lights, but behind the dozens of tiny braids shares also do the sizes of the round silver ornaments, above inlay red, blue and other colored agate, waist and chest fly is also a string of agate beads and silver boxes, the national identity of the clothing very significant, they need not be a holiday for this equipment, so after entering Decha , walking him silverware jingle often see the women, while the young Kangba cross sword sturdy waist even more praise.

Out of Germany is poor, on the Kola prairie looking for "lost"

Difference from the previous German song along the river upward march into the Hall, with the elevation changes, terrain gradually transformed endless torrent of Huo Qu River gradually narrows, flow potential slowed. One scholar said Huo Qu from the Kola River is a beautiful prairie flow Ya Longjiang rivers, it is like a teenage beauty hanging in western Sichuan chest turquoise necklace, upper, middle and lower Decha is embedded in the agate necklace.
Poor leaving Germany soon Kola grassland vegetation closer view of the more monotonous. According to the experts point of view, in the 2000 meters to 3200 meters above sea level of the plateau area, vegetation types of more focused, more lush vegetation color changes, which is the formation of western Sichuan's Autumn accommodate a colorful fiery. After leaving Germany worse, our horses are mostly walking on a cliff, the trees become a golden color from dark green, finally, reached Kola region, the rest are mostly just long grass of the hills and valleys, because the Kola grasslands of about 3600 meters above sea level has reached. Our cavalry came Cora's a small wooden bridge, after the temple before the end of the Kola times Decha this mysterious journey.

Kola Prairie

Kola nearby landscape, albeit monotonous, into the Kola Basin, the landscape is shown after another round of style, there are no traces of visitors, there is no commercial shops, beauty hair-like Huo Qu River winding to winding the this piece of grassland, mountain at the foot of the temple or a few pilgrims pilgrims, grassland scattered with white sheep and black yak, it is the distance between the herdsmen of several small houses, where all people feel very empty space and quiet at any time are willing to lay down on the grass, the chewing grass overlooking the blue sky, open their minds to feel the warmth of the sun. I was breathing heavily, climbed the temple, the little hill, Kola grassland that is another round of spreading charm charming in my eyes. Green grassland on the curved Huo Qu River into a purple and blue streamers, clouds quietly passing overhead, the sky is even more Youlan. This place has not seen Khampas Hengdao flew into the majestic and Kamba women in braids on the strings of silver, great scenery contrast, only dozens of years away, the immediate landscape of people felt a kind of vague sense of loss.
I suddenly comprehend, and Germany has barely brushed past the thick and ancient, but there is no doubt there is a force will evoke a new desire to pray once again entered the German is poor, in a beautiful look for the "lost."
