Last year, I have a classmate turn the "West past," followed by reference to Yunnan, Yunnan, a year later she was only then things sorted out.
---------------------------------------
Passion at the end of a busy, dazzling return to the flat, so it be written travel notes, only written in Yangshuo West Street is still relatively complete. Others note the next running account, and now tidy, only written Lijiang, Lugu Lake.
Yunnan Tour (1) - Lijiang
With the idea, I will immediately put into action. Firefox went to buy a small backpack, pack up a good simple pack of other things on the storage in the store it had pledged to come back about ten days. Just a house expires that day, the friends watched, under the direction of the station went to Guilin. Only to plan their journeys, no search trips, no more spots introduction started.
To the Guilin know there is no night or Nanning to Kunming by train, the railway would take unreasonable highway, the next morning to another strange city, Nanning.
Turn to catch the train to Kunming, 17 hours after the early morning in front of Kunming will be too late to stop to appreciate toward the bus station and was told that there is no morning and go to Lijiang, a car, but can go to Dali and transfer, in order to achieve the intended objectives to be achieved first in Yunnan a station is stay in Lijiang, they sit down to Dali (Shimonoseki) cars.
Although sitting 17 hours by train, but did not feel tired, eye-blink of the eye out of the window, watching the cars out on the winding roads around the urban areas. Distant mountains near the fields are red. Prior to Yunnan, Xiao Yin introduced to me in Yunnan, he had to study in Kunming, Yunnan is red, said the land, but this piece of land is not very safe, gave me a few phone calls, so I ran into what should carry a phone, you can find his friend, the above also have his cell phone, as well as the name - then I realized that Xiao Yin's full name, but also understand that they are calling him "Xiao Yin" instead of "Xiaoying." Car after Chuxiong, heard about this place, as if a town is ancient. However, this time as one would like to Lijiang, and the time is limited, Yunnan tour, destined to leave regrets. Express Line to Dali, the passed a tunnel, the tunnel distance, behind the fog Meng Meng, and cars out of the tunnel will be drilling a regiment fog, the visibility is very low, the speed suddenly slowed down, not long out of the thick brought to light the fog. Complex terrain in Yunnan, there are ten-mile different days, that there are many strange and interesting phenomenon.
To Shimonoseki Station, get off and then on to Lijiang, the car had embarked. Car out of Dali, she saw a distant hillside, of braving the white mist everywhere, some places have been swallowed mountains out. I do not know that Hill is not that Cangshan? It does not matter, but also come back with him play bar.
18:00 more, and finally to the Lijiang station. In the car happened to hear someone talking about Lijiang Dayan know the minds of the ancient city of Lijiang is the owner, so way out of the station and asked how to get the ancient city, after pointing, and then walk about ten minutes saw two great The transfer of water trucks to keep the back wall read, "World Heritage", to the Old Town of Lijiang. Because I only had a packet back, so I do not hurry to find shelter, first stroll slowly, while looking for accommodation areas. Walking slowly along the stone road and enjoy both sides of a small shop selling handicrafts, wood carvings are mostly Dongba culture, there are batik cloth handicrafts and Tibetan jewelry. The words see the hotel will take a look at the way the room, inquire about price. This is a small narrow alley, turn a corner suddenly see the light, came to a very wide rectangular streets, many shops on both sides of hanging red lanterns. So this is what the ancient city center Square Street. Anyway, you lost your way, though buying a tour of Lijiang necessary hand-painted map, but do not want to look through such a place, gradually came to understand it interesting. Eyes closed, pick any one direction, they walked past, actually arrived at a stone bridge, standing on the bridge, bridge of water gurgling, distant stores hang red lanterns reflected in the water, it is a little "Raise the Red Lantern high link "the taste of old house red. This is very much like the bridge of water, small bridges people, which day had just woke up, confused, probably thinking that they will do in the south. Under the bridge, next to the Inn alone at home, large stone inn, the room very clean and wife are the Naxi Ren little girl, very enthusiastic, prices are fair, lived down.
Yangshuo, Lijiang and low temperatures than a lot Kaohuo time, and Naxi girl chat, that store has a couple the next day to go to Lugu Lake in Beijing, Zhenggewoyi and asked their room, they knock on the door go to find playmate of the. Fat boy, the girl has to go to bed, and I explained what he wanted, the boy said three trips a positive program: take bus in the past; car rental in the past; do not. Girls do not seem very concerned about, I can do with a sigh, the girl acted in the same category may not go, but still with the boys a moment to discuss the final decision: The next day we go see if he can look for a playmate, four individuals on car rental in the past, if can not find a seat bus. The next day, I was just walking along the street, walked on, we can not come when the road by now. Lijiang ancient city on the map like that labyrinth, and now had to the letter. Approaching 11 o'clock when the boy called over, said that now there is a bus to Lugu Lake, there are less than great on the car, and they in the ancient city at the entrance and asked me where it is. I do not know where, but also do not know how to go global. He said that the station Then you play it, we see the car. I said yes. Into the station and buy a ticket when it knew there was no car direct Lugu Lake, to Ninglang transfer. Ninglang riding the minibus to go, no one of Beijing's right. Just sit down, telephone, and said they do not, and because there is no luxury bus and asked me where I said, go to the lake in the car, he said: would not you? I said lines and the ticket price, the boy seems to be cardiac, and asked me how kind of car, there is no place. Frankly speaking, the car was really bad, a few people with a lot of baggage, aisle have been accounted for. I honestly said, the boy hesitated for a moment, but finally I wish I had a good time.
Starting a car, or overcast days, and do not see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This way, the basic are both winding mountain road, feeling like a racing game of the road, up the hill down from time to time there will be 180-degree turn, has never gone through such a dangerous road, so this was big eyes wide, and there are one reason - fear. But the way the landscape, far more than car fare. In many cases, vehicles are shuttling between the Jinsha River and the mountains. The following integration into the Jinsha river due to the Carboniferous, showing Bise, like Pallas's embedded in a mountain valley. The distant mountains, pine trees, such as the stars decorate the empty scattered on the hills, the stars rush of the night sky, the same bare red clay, rock added to the vigorous mountain desolation. Oblivious to see if this place was called the Little Liangshan, maybe it is, if true, is absolutely apt. More than a bleak mountain, mountains, hills, occasionally there are a few rooms, a Tin. But the vast expanse of mountains, without the road, fearing a life and did not know the outside world looks like. Along the way on several occasions to see people watched our cars well away, adults, children, the Yi people. Thought of hours I saw the train, always burst of emotion, like As the train flew together to the far side of that.
Yunnan Tour (2) - Lugu Lake
Ning waves to the station, Station Li Ren said there Lugu Lake to the car, but not any car to see where it is. Then an elderly gentleman also asked Lugu Lake car, Oh, there go the same way in the. But I am in a strange place to ask for directions in addition, are generally not with strangers accosted. Old man who apparently did not worry so much, so while waiting for a train chatting up. So know what the fees due to close to the investigation, even the car owners are concealed. "Today is too unusual, and previously the stations are full of parked cars to leave for the lake." Familiar old gentleman right here, ah, to see me alone one person, so asked, I told him I was a person out of play. He said he went to Lugu Lake, the first thing to see, they issued a marvel, is so beautiful! So he stayed down, unknowingly a year has passed. The old gentleman's words aroused my interest, so I also talk in the Yangshuo experience, and said a trip to learn a lot friends. Said an old gentleman won my heart the words: This is the highest state of travel. Asked about the home in which I said I was the Northeast people. Old gentleman had said in one: Northeast were frank and lovely. Watched him eyeful of praise, touch the face a little bit hot. Speaking of himself, he said regarded the people of Taiwan, why is "considered?" Old gentleman's eyes search the hole and the quiet things people have the desire to ask questions. However, if someone else said, I am not used inquisitive, know what? Ming Dynasty, a different, fear is also present and can no longer met, and asked so many do, and the journey, come across why deja vu.
The most sense is that he hit it with the old man actually say one thing: want to go the Kunlun Mountains, Tanggula? Many people think that Tibet is a sacred, but the Kunlun Mountains is in my mind, the Holy Land. A time to actually know how to pop star, finally said only one: Kunlun is not used to climb. Attracted old man laughed.
Finally come of a car, ride along with two other girls Moso tribe, the driver is also a Mosuo people, dressed in traditional clothing. A car, and only my first visit, but there are also a convenient, that is, when the driver of a village: This is Hill Lane Miss gentlemen. Free tickets to my. See the old man waved, and I do what I do giggle a smooth clearance. But this way, landscape in another direction. Yunnan different days, ten-mile says, but on the road, which Yongde Zhao miles and clear skies, the saw seems hazy cove not far from the car turn into the corner, I discovered that here in the rain and then transferred out of a bend, Also quite bright. The mountain is more dangerous in. Sometimes you can see the pile of roadside soil slid down the hillside, or gravel, if the rainy season, I would never dare to take this road, and how not regret it at the moment is also the first buy the insurance. Let's talk about the old gentleman next time the history of human development, and asked if I know Yuanmou, Yunnan, a little cooked, but remember, shaking his head. Begins with Mr. Yu Shilao north to south, first after the Yuanmou speaking Zhoukou up. Scenery out the window again, when I heard a low voice, who is remembered for what in English should be the Bible, I guess. With regard to religion, the old man said he thought the Buddhist cycle of life and death of persons and explain the universe's most perfect and I do not understand religion, then just listen. Approaching the Lugu Lake, the old man says, there is near the pavilion is the best place to see the lake and allow the driver to stop when you look at. Out of the car, the old man to walk ahead. At this point, it is easy to understand, when he first saw in this issue of amazing and lived for a year. Lugu Lake in front of as a pure sapphire sky a bit overcast, foggy lake faint, blurred boundaries, but the temptation to add a blur. More distant railing in front of the Lion Rock and the pines, the lake shore, huts, but also bring out the purity of the gem. I could not help but see it put into the eyes of the camera. Back to the car, three Mosuo people can not get off, then good things, see more have changed the mediocre. "Look" He does not suddenly called me, and down his fingers, actually saw a pheasant roadside woods leisurely walk.
After the village, the old man get off, and I do not know where to go, where to go. To the front of the village, down a car, walking along the lake to find a small hotel. To eat when I met a visitor came in Shenzhen, said she lived in the house next to the inn called Assia, and strongly recommended I also lived here, so one more brigade friends. She recommended I go to see Mosuo people dancing at night, said that he could dance with them, anyway meal is also all right, of course, go啦. Put Jizhi pine door yard it wants to, when you go inside has already begun. The middle is a large brazier, led by young people, flute, others lash a team, jump around the brazier. A little taste of the tone of Naxi music, and the melodies is very simple, often a section of the duplication, but at a slower pace fast from time to time, so steps are followed by changes. Duplicate is a simple tone, repetitive simple pleasure. Then the owner brought out in the yard a tobacco and alcohol to all the people in the courtyard, two options, either to smoke or drink, warm Mosuo people can not be denied. Daughter of country liquor, of course not to be missed, I would drink Duanqi Wan, entrance light, but the stomach has swallowed the warm, good wine. Back to the shop, I heard that, I drink a local brew their own wine, travel friends yelled up: how, when last time I went to did not! Oh, how do I know.
Nothing to do, travel friends invited me to the big Wolf not far from the bar to drink tea and chat the next day she said that because there Mosuo people's funeral, so this to go away tomorrow, she should be. You live here travel a few days, so familiar here, bar the big wolf couple opened the boss wife is a Canton girl, with large wolf walking marriage to stay in here, and even the local pass. So I know that the Mosuo people are cremated, and there are people walking Mosuo marriage. You said with a smile brigade has already been made to go to her marriage had. Although I came from afar, but still the Department of Han women, right away do not agree with marriage. I have also heard that the next day to go, travel-lovers say that I was lucky, the next day there was the funeral of Mosuo people can read it tries. We are chatting, next to a table where people have asked that we come from, I have heard them talk with, they use white words: Dongguan. But say it on the Luxian, and it is non-standard pronunciation. But this does not prevent the further understanding of Guangzhou, two friends, chat ranks have grown. Kenlei and kento probably was attracted by the country legend to his daughter, but now kenlei down to our great grievances, saying that the developer came all the way from Lijiang, the local girls, but not good-looking, they are ready to read the funeral tomorrow, and left. Erotic, but frankly too cute. Because we all have a common goal to see the Mosuo cremation, so an appointment the next day Assia doorstep collection, kenlei said 8:00, I said too late, 7:30.
But the next day, 7:30 I was almost ready, travel-you a bit slow, went out, kenlei they have been waiting a long time, was approached after the first sentence: I would say 8:00啦, non-change 7:30 the detriments we drank a half-hour north wind. I dare say, only Hei hei Liangsheng hollow laugh. Happens when Liangsheng very loud guns funeral procession has been transformed. We mixed in the ranks, passing through a stone tower, the team is to go from the left, next to the boss asked what did we learn to walk clockwise, back when it was from the right and left. I carefully recorded the minority religion very seriously, I do not believe in religion, but to respect their faith, convinced of their piety. Funeral procession was very long, should be mobilized village, and is now issuing many tourists. As early as the lake with a well-shaped log improtance shelves, next to a few monks in the practice of thing. Logs are piled up in layers of a few people carrying the sedan chair into a kind of wooden house. Big Wolf said, according to the Mosuo people were to be cremated, so the body to the deceased, or when the temperature of the soft strapped with a rope, carried out on end paper decorated with the outside, like lifting the sedan chair. He added that when the possibilities of the cremation, in short, I hear no appetite, and then not eat anything, to prepare the next day, if so what kinds of things, we close our eyes and cover your ears, stay away. Lamas began to wear Act Phi clothing and headgear, chanting salvation. Big Lama will be handed a torch made law next to people scattered around the wooden shelves of gasoline ignited, and fire smoke and the sound of monks chanting greater. People's Bank of the village is the five bodies to bid for land gift to the wooden stand and Lama areas. Fire up, the people gradually dispersed, leaving only monks chant facing the thick black smoke continued to release souls from purgatory. In the back and leave, someone pulled up next I looked back and was actually old man. Tell him that I should return to Lijiang in the morning, the old man seems a bit sorry for beauty, I look a little. Fortunately, encountered, has ever regarded farewell.
Go to Lijiang by car to wait for some time, we took the opportunity to go to the lake. Lugu Lake is very special ship, called Zhu Caochuan, shaped like a pig trough. With kenlei, kento years of Naxi girl, said Zhu Caochuan there is the legend: a long time ago, the lake without water, is a land. When a young man firewood uphill, each should go to a cave near the water to drink. One day, he went to fetch water and found the hole was a big fish blocked, so he cut a piece of fish to eat. The next day, and long on the fish, so young people no longer gather firewood in the mountains with dry food. His family feel very strange, they secretly followed him, and then discovered the secret. Uncle, aunt of young people are greedy, but the two could not pull away matter how this big fish, they found a nine cattle, and finally the fish away, and floods also will be pouring from the hole. Flood hit, a Moso girl are pigs, Jizhongshengzhi, skip pig trough, the downstream drift Shi You saved a lot of people, then the waters receded, forming a beautiful lake. People to commemorate the lake in boats made of the appearance of pig trough, called Zhu Caochuan of. To appreciate this piece of pure heaven and earth, listening to the little girl with his right, father. The ship's destination is a small island on the island, two dog welcome over. Good and well-behaved dogs, that I did not pack, knowing I am sure that without food, and have been followed kenlei and kento, see the two of them to ignore, actually bite the kento hold onto the clothes. Kento had no choice but to take a bag from the pack in the food, the right to make money from. Block lamasery and toast the island tomb, monks are way things went, leaving only a person guarding the temple. Island is small, one will visit all the people went to Lijiang car fast start, and we dare not delay, the draw back to the shore waiting for a train went.
