Northwest Yunnan --- chasing Roaming (3)
March 18, 2003
As early as 6 am to get up the dark out of the hotel, but fortunately, not related to the door, more than one of our hotel from another one jumping through the window out of a lot better companions. Cars came, the driver is the local Naxi Ren, speaking quite pious when the Meili Snow Mountain, and reasonably believed the Naxi Dongba religion, but here people are believed Meili Snow Mountain, after all, this is the first Tibetan eight major Kamiyama.
Car quietly crawl in the mountain, this mountain we have gone through the evening the day before yesterday, but now has completely different. Snow last night, and this is not the road is now a little bit of snow ice, and roadside snow in the headlights in the night to issue a touch of blue. Is very fortunate, we have seen the Bobcats, which in the eyes of the locals it is also rare thing, and the driver get off with interest a careful reading.
To 20 minutes came to the viewing platform flying Temple, where a total of two inns, one of the last time we stayed in, this time we have another break. The last is also the wind fluttering streamer Crimping snow now, in the pre-dawn light of the weak is particularly bright, snow can not suppress that right Kamiyama prayers. Kamiyama again to pray, hang our streamer, but this time the Kamiyama, has been unwilling to show majestic, thick fog enveloped the entire mountain.
Unfortunately, we can only get on the train back to town. After a simple breakfast, the train left the northwest of Yunnan return point. The Deqin county looked away, and this could not help but sigh with Kamiyama Kamiyama at the foot of the earth, with a teammate's words: God or nature, people in such a big mountain can only lament the great gods of nature. I really felt this trip!
Is a long uphill, last night the snow really make a company's way more dangerous, and have a small hill, the further back on the 4300's Ya Kou. Had the privilege of parking here, this time the sun is sufficient, although in 4300 the altitude, one side is the vast expanse of snowy field, one side is cliffs and distant snow-capped mountains on our feet. Jimuyuantiao, countless snow-capped mountains are all under our line of sight, when the sky seemed away from us is so close. Will be able to touch the sky between their hands, feeling the wind in the fingers across the excitement. Blowing into the cloud can be the height of the elevation for the plains, we have in heaven, and close contact with the sky.
Time not help feeling we are here to continue with the days with the high feelings and nearly five hours in front of the car, but also hit the road. You Ji under the snow yesterday, we increased the hardships of travel points, in the 4200 meters of altitude mountain roads, car has not stuck in a straight knee in the snow. Before appearing to the beautiful white snow, but now seems to be so intractable, opposite to the car was stuck in here, we work together again. In everyone's efforts, the cars, though out of the snow storm, snow in the car is almost impossible to control the direction of the car rushed straight to the edge of the precipice, but fortunately, our driver and master's driving skills superb, literally drove the car on the highway . The last time a thriller than the reverse, all in an instant, the line between the feeling everyone pinch of the Khan.
Fortunately, as the altitude was reduced gradually by our snowy rejection behind, they saw large tracts of red earth, but also a declaration of our trip to the end of Lennart Meri. Yunnan is a natural earth and the sky god's masterpiece, in just an hour or two, the outlines of several of the world such a radically different, indeed Jiaoren yearning Could it be admired.
Also at the benzilan rest for a while, it was still kind of quiet. After lunch, move on, over the East Chikurinji, the distance you see on the slopes of the red, yellow cloth streamers along the way there have been dressed in costumes, holding the horse side of the Tibetan people from the window passed, more and more so We feel there will be a grand festival atmosphere.
On that hillside, full of costumes, and the body approved Dahongpao Tibetan monks and Tibetans from those of the costume can be sure that this is the Kham Tibetan, and a genuine guy and Kham Kham woman. Was so excited, just coming down our Kamiyama actually see here that only in the past to see the photo of the Kham people. But even more fortunate is that, after inquiries, these Kham Tibetans are preparing to meet the reincarnation of the East Chikurinji. This is also only see the plot in the book actually is in our side, still remembered, it seems that it's incredible. This is indeed true, soul boy from Sichuan, the lamas of the East Chikurinji after eight years to find. Soul boy of the team is now being rushed to the place where the ceremony, thus riding to East Chikurinji.
Warm sun, with this group together to meet the Tibetan spiritual child, feeling all of them into. Kham guy's strong, simple woman Kham, Kham elderly pious, well-off Pakistan's innocence, and in this show vividly red land, is so natural. Can be seen from their eyes had never seen the power of innocence and the rich; their hearts seem to be a reflection of sunlight; with their conversations are no barriers, here and now we are with them!
After all, we are just passing through, feeling the moment Kham complex, to continue to hit the road, and our fleet of cars and soul boy of Sassafras shoulder by. Looking back, see, watching the team forward slowly, gradually disappeared in the winding mountain road, it seems kind of felt the sacred atmosphere of this sacred mountain is also a result of it, which for our return trip, but also kinds of great psychological comfort, in the That endless winding mountain road, this trip is quite feel, but also had too much experience.
Again according to the distance you see a pull-prairie, a golden yellow in Youlan mosaic of lakes, sparkling, and we came back from the holy mountains Shangri-La. Speeding vehicles in the grasslands, although the surrounding landscape and, like a few days ago, but they feel as if they had left the long, long time, there is a wish to embrace the feeling of the earth, Shangri-La is that it has affinity.
In the county for the first time the team began to "cut-throat," which, though it does not feel less buy something cheaper and I do not know why the purchase, but after all it is the dream of Shambhala, where things have been branded with her The imprint, which is irreplaceable, but also can not be measured by money. Is that the parcel had been used for mailing articles, but also because of the above with a postmark from the Shangri-La, but I still was preserved. "Cut-throat", the Kaohuo spend the rest at the inn in time. Seems to be a waste of time, but it is also part of life Shangri-La, can feel that life is so calm but also very beautiful, watching the flames leap, while mixed feelings, we are here to properly organize mood. Tomorrow we must leave!
Night seems to be short of points, at this moment of time flying around the same as in the flow elsewhere. Life is such that when you really keep a quiet heart and understand the joy of life, the time to leave you with only a moment, but most of the time we are in chaos waiting for those moments to come. The Shangri-La's night is this precious moment!
Night, we do not want sleep!

Morning, we do not want to leave! At the moment, large and small, mountain climbing bag reminds us once again playing passing, and we Sheung.
Car towards the west, we did not go to Bita Lake. There is too well-known, perhaps the journey to lost property left to the next bar. We chose to go down an all Lake. Local people heard you say that in two places belong to two different styles, I believe we have this choice is right, because where I photographed the best picture to date.
Are all lake gives the impression that the absolute quiet, and extremely calm lake You Lan, a refined beauty. That Youlan seems to be leaping out of the lake, giving people a hint of melancholy in; it calm like a mirror reflection of the sky and white clouds stemmed. Lake hills lost here, there has always been a rugged, beautiful curves across the lake, it is more mellow than the southern hills. Golden grass lake are added to give this picture a more perfect color. Walking in here, and I feel nothing can be hurling to heaven, that simply makes a broad sense of calm, relaxed and happy. Wrangler leisurely stroll by the lake constitutes the most beautiful picture.
The lake is both soft to forget everything, but each one of us here are some scenery, where have all the elements of Shangri-La. As a result, decided to come back next time when you must stay there at the lake, spend the day time to a thorough integration of natural landscapes into this. Perhaps Bita be more beautiful, but I am here, that has been sufficient. If the journey is missing here, I will be more sorry.
With an unparalleled satisfaction, we have left. 214 State Road to remain closed, we take the three from the east line of the dam back to Lijiang. Flexor a few, the whole five days, and this is the first paragraph of the last day of the journey, we must bid farewell to the Shangri-La. Vehicles in the forest in the winding forward, fresh air makes smug, I have to breathe a little more Shangri-La Air! Maybe everyone think so bar.
In the three-dam, I am sorry to see baishuitai has been destroyed, I heard that before the water station until the foot of the mountain, but in recent years, development has to be narrowed a lot.
For the first time of nearly an hour waiting to eat, delicious chicken is no quick fix to. In this waiting time, we have a large number of individual photographs baked, and an absolute classic, are still restricted, want to come that is fun and relaxed time segment. Each of us privileged to be a unique landscape!
Car dealers south, turn the Haba snow-capped mountains of the ridge, there are large tracts of terraced fields, even though I do not think Longsheng terraces, spectacular, but in this snow-capped mountains at the foot of the terraces were modified to better show the strength and beauty of those inadvertent. The fields of flowering rape outlined the curves of the terraces and villages the distribution of which, smoke peacefulness.
Car out of Haba Snow Mountain, in front suddenly see the light, a flat on the speeding car, while the difference is that the window is full of cliff cliff, gorge between two mountains and bottomless. There is a low voice in mind striking, a Silver Dragon at the foot of the canyon looming, both sides of the mountains shining in the sun issued under the silver light. Here the earth has been deeply cut, and here is the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. One side of the mountains on both sides of the Yulong Snow Mountain, one side is the Haba snow-capped mountains, deep gorges among nearly 3,000 meters, where the Jinsha River water growled an impact forward, unstoppable.
Car mountain road forward, wagon no one to speak, quietly watching cars turn a corner. Looking out at the cliff, people feel that car is flying in the canyon. Continue to see the Haba snow-capped mountains are washed down a waterfall on the road, but also continue to see a rock lying on the road, which is dangerous road section.
Christians see quite a well-known Woody Inn, Teacher Chang Inn and TINA'S, hard to believe that we have reached a tiger jump, but also determined to walk after the program.
To the tiger jumped on the parking lot, and we get off tiger jumped up stone riverside walk. Despite heard that tiger jumped on the stone is not really a tiger jumped stone, but it can be a relatively short time to taste the magnificent Tiger Leaping Gorge is also worth it. Walked 10 minutes down and began to stop rumbling sound of the water, it is difficult to imagine the sound of water is so great. The more down the walk, the water sound bigger, and can smell the taste of the Jinsha River water. The end of the gorge, and a huge rock lying middle of the river where the rapid flow of water into two, spray greatly impact the sound. Here, in addition to the water roaring sound of things, no longer other noise, a sense there is also a pure world. A deep trough on both sides of the mountain straight up into the sky, let me think of Mr. Jin Yong Jue Qinggu Condor Heroes written by the end of the book. Living in ravine in, listening to the roaring rapids, people are so tiny, but his body and mind once again been purified.
Tiger Leaping Gorge insurance let us see the forces of nature itself can be very calm and silent water in her set-up, shows such a tremendous force, everything has two sides with its own unique, seemingly small, it can be a vast reservoir of energy.
To Tiger Leaping Gorge on the road so that we properly train a bit, for me is a prelude to Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot a few days later I started on foot from the head, it is called one of the world's top ten Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot line.
Car to the road after the bridge the town is very difficult to walk because of the construction of National Highway 214 is still in progress, the road bumps get worse. Some sections of the dust makes the visibility is less than 2 meters, but fortunately, the driver on the road very familiar with, and will not leave the road. Up and down Britain has nearly half an hour and see the Jinsha River bridge, as seen the savior, over the bridge of the asphalt people feel very comfortable, the same as in the fly. Life is like this, do not taste bitter does not know happy.
Quick sunset, and five days to end, drivers are eager to go home, we are really flying to Lijiang. Sunset will be around the mountains and water, sprinkle a layer of gold, in the clouds the sun is so calm and peaceful.
Car to Lijiang is already 20 o'clock, and revive a feeling of Lijiang ancient city at night is still a paradise for tourists. Bid farewell with us, the driver walked Meri Kamiyama and master, and we take that sacred atmosphere, once again embarked on a five-colored stone of Lijiang Old Town Road, unintentionally felt like a warm home, we are the ancient city a family member.
Unload luggage, the full enjoyment of the petty bourgeoisie of the city atmosphere. Also heard the gurgling brook flowing songs, such a sleep, felt very satisfied.
