July 23
6:30 am to climb to get up on waiting to see Merrill sunrise, unfortunately, are shrouded in clouds the whole Meri being until 8:00 dawn had not seen his majestic appearance. The three of us have been ready to fly to Temple turn circle, but heard that the shuttle to the spa indefinite periods of time, they dared not go away. Meili Snow Mountain Villa sitting in a restaurant, etc. When upstairs came the pleasant sound of chanting. Wait until 9 o'clock, there is a Shangri-La - Deqin shuttle open until we go up to ask to know the driver is driving to turning, it will be cheerfully got on. At the same time on the train were a number of Tibetans (in the temple entrance you can see a lot of flying to the turning of the Tibetans), and a group of monks chanting in the upstairs.
A great morning fog, in the National Road came forward line, 10 meters away is the vast expanse of whiteness of one, not to mention the scenery of the. The car to open the bridge, that is, toll stations, and to outsiders no matter where you go out forever, we must buy tickets for 60 yuan (money-ah!). Brother drivers do not help us to talk about things into the final Jia Jia and Tiger produced a student card (both expired, but fortunately, this did not Jiajia a work permit on the student card inside), it was promised to us to buy half-price ticket (hey, Duality is also a half-price ticket Oh!). As the overnight rain, the road there are a lot of stones falling from the hills, and some stones too large, blocking the road, the car will take the initiative to get off the Tibetans stone to move away, or tear down river.
Auto open until the edge of the Lancang River, a temple that they have to go to prayer, I hastened to ask monks who know turn to go to the Ram temple by the (Tibetan literally, it should be white by turning the Temple) to take into Kamiyama key. Walked in front of temples, there are already many of the Tibetan people inside, and I follow them to push Mani cylinder turning three times, but also along the turning cylinder into the temple, after the points thanks to the Custodian of the two butter lamps, donated some money (if you go to the temple, it must be ready to remember small change), and then pointed to a white wooden Lama to do something that it is the key to touch click on it.
Out of the small temple, came to a small cave, which packed with Tibetans, which lived in a yellow clothes with a lama is also available for law-enforcement, thanks to law-enforcement end, he saw us up in a log cabin and a few monks sitting That yellow clothes Lama preaching, because the body has no small change, I did not go on out. Came out to drill holes, one after another in order to use the entire body curled up and drill holes in the past, there are a number of holy sites - Dharma footprints. . . But also a number of large stones through the river bank, and later asked monks to know there are holes in transmigration meaning, because of their Chinese is not good, I do not know the Tibetan language over and over again, I am also a daze from start to finish, but as long as the Huaizhe pious heart, follow them to do the Buddha should not blame my ignorance. Finally came to a small temple, they asked me to pick up a small stone, dip in the pool, the Temple of a moment, then bit the forehead, then that means we Kamiyama the key away.
After the first stop, the car went straight to the hot springs. By a look, before we know the so-called hot springs, but are separated by a concrete house, between the bathroom and next to the free hot spring pool of cold water already. Come to understand each of the Tibetans had previously been transferred to the hot spring bath will be a lot on the one hand, a number of days to go wash off the dust a good one the other hand, was an expression of God's respect for the right Kawagebo. According to records available in this spa is the efficacy of the treatment, and has now become so look like this. . . . Silent ah!
And the driver an eat Baba, cattle Thelephora and butter tea, we hit the road. Since the collapse of riding into the storm from the hot spring to 160 yuan, and not to bargain, in order to save money, we all chose to walk.
13:10 start climbing. Less than half an hour up the mountain, I would regret their choice, and all along the way uphill, and the long, steep slope, angle, big, and then there is a headache caused by altitude sickness, I can only walk a few steps stopped a break , but can not go back, only going up, hoping to go as soon as the first tea house, rent horses and pack me into the mountains.
15:16 to reach the first tea house, this time it began to rain days, we three sat on the stove next to the teahouse Kaohuo, when they come one after another some of the Tibetans down and they come up with to bring their own butter, called the boss to help them play tea. Because I want to ride, all the load on all to me, and Jia Jia and Tiger easier to move forward, they still insist on walking.
About 15:30, I rode the boss's mule, collapse forward to the rain. Into the forests more difficult to take the route of retreat, and a small mud road you have not seen the foot, but also because of rain the road is also a slippery muddy. I arrived at 5:00 p.m. more Yakou - There are two easy way to tea for the people by turning the rest (which are 3900 meters above sea level Yakou), dismount rest, ask children lead the way in front of there any ascent, he replied Yes (actually lied to me... Alas!), I decided to continue renting horses, but the downhill who walked uphill re-launched.
In fact, after a Yakou until the rain collapsed on the village, they are all downhill, and take up very easily, I only ran less than two hours on the village. From the tea house to collapse because of the rain is 110 yuan, 70 yuan to Yakou as long as, in fact, all the way back Yakou my own walk, they will naturally and children talked about the price, the help of the driver's brother, he agreed 100 yuan (very stubborn child, very difficult to bargain).
Collapse under the rain on the village and the village are at the foot of the small village of Merrill, if going to camp, they lived in the village, on foot the next day the family to stay, but to turn through the waterfall of God should live to see the next village.
The driver in order to save time the next day, it is proposed to live in the depths of cattle to the next village, I naturally gave no views. From the village to the next village, more than 1 hours to go the road, the river here are all downhill, cross the river on all of the uphill. We passed through the next village, to reach the village at the end of the pasture when the driver has two small children walk, and we learned that cattle would also like to go a half an hour, at this time is more than 19:00, but go in roads are full of trails and forests. Finally, we live in the village at the end of A Qing cloth House (God Falls Inn), 15 yuan / bed (because the village is the absolute egalitarianism, generally by the villagers in turn receive foreign visitors, Aqing fairly clean cloth at home, we it wants to come to the end).
Rest that I go to the river to wash pants (because from the legs into the trousers are all the mud), but down the river upstream from the snow-capped mountains, the ice was biting, I can only carrying the legs floating in the water ah drift, Hehe. After a time of 3.40 minutes Jiajia they arrived, the boss and then we have to eat vegetables, proprietress of the answer is no, halo, we have to eat eggs and wife said that there, but they did not pan home idle, too and so on. . . Fortunately, over the two in Jiangsu to do photography and a Peking Man, who brought the delicious watermelon, we of course polite.
Ah, etc., etc. has been completely dark days, they find a weak boss has finally started to candlelight to help us scrambled eggs had. Cold outside, we moved to the table the first floor of 9 human years (here is 10 yuan / bed), and so on eggs and serve on the dim light incense and eat ah. . . .
Shimomura is a very backward place, are naturally very honest, we sleep at night the doors were shut strictly middle of the night when there is a Tibetan grandmother wrong room, went to our rooms come, He He. . . .
