Northwest Yunnan --- chasing Roaming (5)
March 22, 2003
Despite the enthusiasm of last night until this morning it was broken, but imagine the sunrise in the morning the lake was more inspired my nerves, sky is still black, left to sleep, I simply assembled, the pick up the camera, to wait for of that first ray of sun.
Out, the distant days has begun to turn to faint white red, goddess of the mountains in the dawn light to draw curved red curve, in the extension of the sky. Cloud did not, except for that blue-black backdrop, then silhouette-like peaks, only those suffused with light waves lake, nature is so simple, yet so moving, that this is only between the people's heart has been deeply deeply attracted.
Walk the lake from time to time put up a camera, try to capture that beautiful moment. I get to the front of the same scene is very simple, it seems to forget their existence, I can be a lake at the trees, a stone, it seems that feeling is so familiar, the most beautiful morning in the present.
Gradually the sky red, until the occasion of a full half of the sky into a golden red, the lake has become this sparkling color. The east horizon at this time more and more bright, suddenly, that long-awaited golden light from the mountains Jishe out. All Nature's Wizard at this time reflecting the most powerful of life, which also includes each of us, this seems to be the strength of kinds of rebirth, perhaps precisely because of this power, we can in this endless universe.
New-born sun Saxiang lake, a layer of mist thrown up, then wind around the whole of the United States instant spread Lugu Lake, in the surrounding mountains echoed with. The pearl of the plateau, this time ushered in a new day.
The whole village fell into the water began to busy up the local Mosuo people dressed in national costume, ready to begin this new day. Sitting in the lake, watching all the time changing the lake, and looking at the central Zhu Caochuan floating island in the lake, in the leisure to appreciate in the nation, it is full of mystery nation.
Eventually going to leave, and go before the camera again with a lap against the lake, though far from thoroughly enjoyed themselves, but look at the high blue sky and the distant horizon from the rains of the clouds, and my heart and imagination also looking forward to this time lugu Lake Panorama. Quickly assembled finished, journey home.
Car circled up on the mountain, came to that observation deck yesterday. Urgent heart, grabbed the camera and onto a viewing platform. At this moment, my heart stopped beating! What a spectacular ah! Through the pine branches, the lake's color is simply incredible! Blue-green lake Jingde, such as a mirror, the sky clouds in the water has become more charming, surrounded by mountains, the lake is more like a sapphire, as issued by blinding light. Believe that there will no longer have to describe the scene at the moment, have been shocked by the beauty that now seems is on the same life-like! Hard to believe that also in the same place yesterday, to see the lake is so refined, changing the lake to watch her in person at the moment to vote in the five body!
The soul into this scenery, then click the shutter, felt the never satisfied, never feel the same time you press the shutter the realm of ecstasy, at the time believed to be ingestion of not only the eye can see the scenery at the same time more to the soul of nature, that sparkling beauty.
Really did not want to leave the!
With what has been unusually strong heart, we really want to leave. Is so reluctant.
The same route back, believers in the Ninglang repair, at the same time feel a bit of this town. Yi and Mosuo do have a lot of different, from their living environment, can be clearly seen.
The evening before we went to the Lijiang, there has been a feeling of home, but this time a kind of reluctantly feeling rise in my heart. Calculation, to this plateau has been nine days, and tomorrow of the three players to journey home. Sad to leave the plateau has also been inflated. That night, a small stream of bars in Lijiang, everyone sitting together, these days the plateau have been inspired emotion out of the Petty Bourgeoisie night really never forget. Candlelight in the bar that night in a drink that night in Lijiang ancient city of stone on the road to sit, moonlit night in the ancient city of running, the night's sleep ... a small river waterfront ... all in all, this has been self-evaporate into the plateau a quiet night, perhaps it will be retained in the moonlight that period of good feeling and I feel a deep, forever to feel ... ...

Perhaps the fellow's departure made me feel closer to their own way home, and the plateau in this dream all the things that are worth paying, and the most worth is to fill the time with sleep, may be missed too. So, before the sun has not risen, despite the sleep for two hours, but still determinedly to get up, and alone, I use this time to feel squeezed out of Lijiang morning.
A quiet morning, who would think of a few hours the night before it charming? These two very different feeling in their hearts drift forward, like two different worlds in space impact, and that spark will be to collection of our intentions, perhaps it is more eternal than diamonds, more shiny.
Really appreciate the charm of Lijiang, at the moment the sun rose, the golden city slowly awakening, flowing sound of hustle and bustle of the ancient city gradually began to break the quiet. Perhaps every day is so, but would perhaps she is more beautiful.
To come here so many days, and we have no opportunity to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is today emerged. Standing water of the stone bridge on the streets, watching the distant snow-capped mountains, a kind of temporal and spatial changes in a sense, as if he is just arrived here, they seem to have been familiar here, like a home of their own, oblivious to, and this As in dreams just as, if not the left photo, still wanted to come to the soul like a tour of the Old Town of Lijiang.
In a small stream of the bar drinking coffee in Yunnan, Lijiang Baba eating, listening to a French folk songs, watching the wall, filled with English, breathe plateau air, blue sky on the Baiyun Piao a, a plane is zoned over his head and floating catkins with ... everything ... everything stopped, only heart is still beating, because it is going to feel that all in all, this is a complete feeling of Lijiang!
Lijiang in the morning to give not only these, but more a continuation of the time. Although now back in the morning the city is very common, but if the heart can understand it bit by bit of Lijiang atmosphere, it is floating in the sea from the heart from the date of attachment.
The feeling of Lijiang morning, loud voice declared a busy day began in earnest. Today, the main job is to "cut-throat." To more of Yunnan lies in the memories of these souvenirs, perhaps everyone is thinking this way, looking more and more deflated wallets, luggage getting heavier and heavier, but my mind was more and more enriched.
Noon and afternoon, there are two brigades of the Friends of the to be on the way home, the whole day, appeared to be so short. In fact, on the plateau have this kind of feeling: feeling a few days at the beginning is so long, but the closer the date of return again and accelerated loss of sense of time, until the time to be on the plane, time flies away. Now we are off in this mood, I feel like a vintage old friends to send the same, but in fact we really start to understand only nine days. The magic plateau ah!
Only four of us, one of whom will be leaving tomorrow morning, while the three of us going to complete on foot tiger jump "feat." Today, the same night, ancient city is full of petty bourgeoisie atmosphere, but scattered in four matter how HIGH it is not up, full of attachment, this night, whose heart is not easy, Lijiang we have been believers in the return and the return of their being.

The tenth day, and get up early. Finishing the pack to minimize luggage, because we are going to walk in Tiger Leaping Gorge. Also confused with the quilt to bid farewell to the captain, because he will sit at noon on the plane back. After a simple goodbye, hosting some of the baggage, we are really the first time carrying luggage, to their feet to the measurement and that of the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Today the weather is very good, cloudless, the mood is much better than yesterday. Or the appointment of Chang master's car to bridge the town is sold out three days ago to think about the lake, and now three of us left in the compartment. Zhang master were very good, it would only speak to us in many, many things about the Naxi civilization really benefit people greatly. In fact, that part way back from the Zhongdian already passed, 214 to make way aisle repairs very difficult to walk, in the town there are three kilometers away from the bridge when the front of the construction because of the whole road all traffic jams, and a full half-hour impassable, we decided to From here walk to the bridge in the town. Bid farewell to Zhang master, and we set off back luggage, this time the sun began to plateau on the power play, and did not take the number of roads, has started sweating, and seems to walk is not simple a. Walk nearly one kilometer or so, a car coming from the back open, and actually saw in the team Chang master's car, hurriedly called to him, and continue to drive the car finished and finally to the road bridge. I did not expect the locals are so honest, he could go directly back, but now we have to carry us to catch up this section of track was very moved. To talk about is three kilometers, but a few bends in the mountains only to be bypassing the town bridge at this time is 12 o'clock more, did not seem rushed to HALFWAY had originally planned. After a ticket mouth, Zhang master directly send us to walk back from the trail eloquence and embarked on the hillside, his car a distance away, has again been the hearts of the locals honest and moved.
Embarked on the path at the foot of Haba Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge I marching the land, watching the distant entrance and the Yulong Snow Mountain Tiger Leaping Gorge public flash in the sun peaks, even though it is at the foot of the cliff, but that lofty feeling wandering between heaven and earth has.
Tiger Leaping Gorge mountain legend caravan for the delivery of supplies and walked out of one side is the Haba Snow Mountain, on the other side is the abyss of the Jinsha River to the road in general in respect of a meter wide, but the road fairly flat, can be said to have scared No risk.
Uphill or Ting Lei, the 10-toting few catties of luggage is my biggest miscalculation was considered too thoughtful, and with this band and that, and walk about more than one hours is Qichuanruniu, and at over 2000 meters foot elevation on the face of blazing sunshine, it does not overestimate his.
Three in the afternoon sun the human self-confidence has evaporated without a trace, even though just begun but already feel very tired, after all, with camera equipment in front of 28 Shui-off appears to be too formidable. Finally, a local uncle has always been with us, although we have expressed the hope that on their own ability to experience the Tiger Leaping Gorge, but at this time, could not help that the sun, so we decided to baggage. Is difficult to imagine that he actually lost the two of us together on her own luggage, so my companion riding up the mountain is simply hard to imagine the locals leg muscles.
Remove shoulder the burden, re-engineering confidence, I still insist on using your feet to the Tiger Leaping Gorge measuring every inch of land, aspirations in mind, even though the sun had baked the skin of red.
Front of the soon to Naxi Ya House, a small village on a small inn, owner of a very warm welcome to us. Can finally take a break, and then forward the famous 28 Shui has. Line of sight over the ridge here, Yulong Snow Mountain peaks of the public lash a team, this time the sun is strong, according to the mountains of snow were a dazzling white light. The sky is blue tile tile blue, the mountains are white, where they felt quite comfortable. Really do not want to go any further, but think about it to go the scheduled distance of the quarter, it do not wish to rest. Add the water, we continued to hit the road, in front of 28 Po we must too!
Tiger Leaping Gorge nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time the sun is most intense around there is no sound, perhaps to be heard Sunburn sun burning the earth's voice. Gone through a small pine forest, the 28 in front of the Po.
Since the beginning, almost all 45-degree uphill, winding-on, until the Peak. Oblique shop out of a number of stone paths, in some places only one foot of space placement supports, each step must be careful. Despite the light pack, but the sun is good for the very tired, almost every walk to find a shade under four Shui breath. However, often stopped, the rise closer look at the Peak, the kind of deep-seated forces were often inspired washed up. Maybe it has lived so long in plain lack of exercise, in this plateau appears on the climb was so embarrassed, but I want is the kind of power, perhaps the kind of power has been a while again, this time in the tiger jump Gap, it is necessary to burn it fully.
In the last Shui Office, there is the footpath through the cliff edge. The first time I felt his life to stand so high, take a look at the foot of the Jinsha River was like a thin chopsticks, at a time when the sun shot from behind, we have to stay in the shadows of the cliffs on the opposite side, it burned to the mood again pole, while the foot is the abyss, but there is a desire to jump.
After a 28 Shui, and it seems that in the Tiger Leaping Gorge is no longer anything to stop us. Approximation of small running downhill, both physically and mentally completely relaxed. Uncle's pointing that way also, the taste of mountain spring water here is a kind of sweet, what the farmer how spring with the Haba Snow Mountain on the melt-water counterparts? Simply sweet to the hearts!
The sky began to see the night has been about six, and twilight began to come here any more. In front of a village, we will be here to spend the night in Tiger Leaping Gorge. Originally inspired by the HALFWAY plan is bound to get there the first day, but it seems today, because of starting late, so can not do so, and we live in the Tea-Horse Inn, where about two hours away from HALFWAY distance, the sky gradually late Night Road is impossible to catch up, and we had this rest stop.
Only later did I feel that this Tea-Horse Inn, it is far worse than HALFWAY, but here Naxi mother (from a letter sent from Shanghai girls) Special amiable, more because there are a balcony, straight across the front of Yulong Snow Mountain. Sitting here, surrounded by mountains in the sunset in the dissemination of a wild atmosphere.
There is a puppy, had forgotten What's your name, very cute, we started dinner, it Cou over, and with it looked at the unique begging for ... dinner ... here is a very warm feeling, even though we only have three.
The night was come, and eat late dinner, went to the balcony. Wanted only Chuichui breeze, take a look at the night of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but to see the scenery has given a pleasant surprise so far can also clearly remember the feeling of that time. The entire Valley in black and can only hear the sound of the foot, spreading waves of the river, while the rise between the canopy in the dark with hundreds of thousands of stars are shining stars. Very exaggerated, the whole magnificent backdrop of the stars would have covered. Lifelong head to see such stars, I could even see the legend of the Milky Way is indeed like a canopy the sky will be divided into two rivers, the stars have to go in that ocean in search of the Cowherd and Weaver. The only thing missing is a little bit of music, let me completely and thoroughly drunk on here is Tiger Leaping Gorge in the night sky.
Not so much that stirring up the night sky, more appropriate, perhaps, a heart the limitless expanse of the sea, in this night sky, that is, close your eyes, it seems to be able to direct the hearts of starlight the plot of the sea, everything is so pure, secular All this is also nothing to do with the absolute ecstasy of the! That I will be forever with the stars!
Hope is to stop at this point of time, but in reality and peace are the same, in the beautiful moment it is always a very fast pace, in order to complete the distance the day after Tiger Leaping Gorge, or go to rest. Fortunately, under the stars in such a magnificent, nothing to wish for. If you meet the people, and this dreamland also successful in ... ...
