Eighth day: Zhongdian Songzanlinsi
August 16: In the morning together, days, or shade, and people can not be happy, because in yesterday's traumatic experience, we seem to have no mood then to somewhere else. International Youth Hostel opposite the snack bar to drink a bowl of delicious milk, boiled eggs (2 RMB / bowl), also found a laundry across the eternal life, just six corner to wash clothes, eats breakfast would cheerfully put the previous day's wet clothes so that they can wash all brought that good the next morning to recover.
My wife and I actually a little uncomfortable not really a miracle, Ah YAN and play Diaozhen rieng all went to the hospital, and A YAN fear of his body might not stand, but also on the trip were greatly disappointed and called the Little Ming to go helped him to fly back to Guangzhou to buy a ticket from Zhongdian, they decided to rest a day in Zhongdian County. I am not willing to just put an end to Zhongdian trip, intercepted a taxi in the street, speaking with the driver is good, 100 yuan are all chartered to take us to the lake and Songzanlinsi, two of us alone in Sheung.
Drove more than two hours, the sun finally came out, my wife and I are very happy, but what happened the previous day there is always a shadow kept in our minds, so it does not have too much communication with the driver. The way many Tibetans see the big house with us to see the structure before Inagi have different, here is a big house, ah, each have an area of more than 300 square meters or so, but all are covered with big wooden framework erected , also do not know how many people live in, we have to assume lower is used to Quanzhu cattle and sheep, the upper was occupied.
Tickets are 30 lakes are all one person, two steps away from the scenic area will be able to come to the lake entrance. This is a big tranquil lake, so that each of the people here do not want to hold back so much noise, although there are a lot of tours around the team. Lake in some places a president out of clumps of meadow, in other seasons would be a good variety of colors, this season, they are just dazzling, but the kind of green Hennen.
Lake there is a row of houses to eat barbecue and accommodation for tourists, many of the team where to eat, while playing mahjong (!), Do not understand why someone would be interested in running such a come from far and playing mahjong. Eating is not tasty barbecue at 3 pm almost 4 points over time, we return to the Songzanlinsi. Back when the sun is very good, broad vision of the place, beautiful scenery, murder me a lot of film, I think the scenery along the way more attractive than the sights, his wife also ran down to the door of a photo of the Tibetan ward Zhang phase, when we very politely walked a photo of a beautiful Tibetan girl could, she was firmly rejected, but occasionally the uncle and the old lady walked all very friendly and say hello to us, so that human heart warm.
From far off to see a hillside of the Tibetan temples scattered high and low, ocher and red wall and golden roofs, the afternoon in the sun to build pond town exudes unique highland town lazy, blue sky A few patches of white clouds drifting leisurely in the blue sky under the distant end is looming peaks, nearby is the undulating hills, could not utter the name of the plateau crop occasionally appear in the flat Bazi, color, or as varying shades of green, Some of the color is almost red, there are a few pieces are incompatible with the nature of yellow - perhaps this is the mature earlier. Because there is no Tibetan had entered the temple, and we were excited. The door to 10 tickets, but the lax supervision, we are casually left inside, and no one caught us buy a ticket, walked the high level, we specialize in it does not seem to some visitors into a small temple跑. In each one into the temple, I knelt down and worshiped, and donated money, sesame oil, listening to friends that donate money here is very casual, she had time not loose money, down 10 yuan, and then take a heap of money from the pile of loose back to 9 yuan, a monk who is also a surprising, and Oh, Well, after all, a sincere heart of the most important.
Some of the temple can not see people, occasionally passing very friendly monks, see our Dianwai Tantoutannao (in some places women are not allowed to enter, so be careful) will loudly call us: Come in, you can Jin! I knelt down to pray before the Buddha family travel safety and security, to the donation box stuffed sesame oil for 10 money, and turn wants to go, when a young lama come pull my hand and said: Come with me! Front of the statue took me, give me two bunches of Buddha bead bracelet, and helped me to put on and said: Another string to her! This is the opening of the light. . .
The lama temple, if you asked him, he will ready to work with your photo, and I felt them inside the camera, as if out of how film can be a good film. 3322 lamas will gather together, sitting on the wide railing, low voice chat, a good one madding crowd scene.
With in a number of tourist groups behind, you can listen to tour guides give us a great hall where some of the Buddha statues and Buddha's deeds. Temple has several layers, the second layer structure is very strange, knowing that at the foot of a high side is empty hall, most of the major pillars is supported by the Millennium, where it is stepping on the concrete floor, let me worry that does not walking would be too forceful foot fall off. At the highest level, can see the living Buddha, and accept his blessing, his wife said she could not look at his appearance, blessings on the end. Also, each day there are so many tourists to harassment, want to come, Mr. Lama is tired, like movie dialogue used to say: Oh, bother the abbot of the Kiyonaga. . . . Mulou creak beneath our feet fed from the ring, we are constantly left, right up to the ... ... on the plateau the afternoon sun, cool breeze in the snow all-pervasive, we have gradually lost; in possession of curl of incense smoke in In the butter lamps illuminated Shuoshuo, we have gradually lost the concept of time.
Sit 2 yuan a person a way minibus, we return to Zhongdian town. The car received a little blue on the phone, let us go and Li-xiang source of hot pot restaurants, this store is also the International Youth Hostel is located on this main road (if not the Changzheng Road is a road parallel with the long march to which the road), through the hospitals and the county government before the store is a good fun ah, while next to it there are a few similar stores, but the only one all sold out, but in addition to our few, other people are all the local people. Here is the hot pot at the end of the mountains of the fungus, as well as attendant called the "root" of the plants, together with the yak meat, and a bottom of the pot 35, which has couple of pounds of yak meat! Enough to eat four or five individuals, and its extremely delicious taste of bacteria is the best I have ever eaten food, yak meat, steaming hot, sweet but not too sweet! And later added a yak meat, as long as 15 money, is too delicious a! Had to raise store has a lovely dog, under the table to drill to drill, and we Qubao it as you stir up will not be angry, touch its body, fleshy, very sensual.
Owner is a local, it will be McCain, sit down and chat with us. Originally produced luxury here is directly exported to Japan Mushroom Cistanche, the first day of mining down in the evening acquisition, require the fourth day to catch up with Japan's morning market, so all categories sealed in boxes with ice, where fresh air in Japan. Two years ago, when the most expensive local purchase price 800 pound, to Chengdu, more than 1000 pieces a pound, to Japan was 500 U.S. dollars a kilogram. Is not a bacteria locals eat, and if we have visitors return of those who purchased large quantities of what the liver what bacteria, in their eyes, is not eating. Here, they eat a fungus, is "a nest of bacteria" (also known as flowers bacteria), to October, they will eat out of the mountain just long bamboo! We think they got it correctly, repeated confirmation, the boss was true that eating bamboo leaves, he said Hennen kind, there is the "root," Oh, we finally did not find out this so-called "mountain roots" What, anyway, is a very good to eat.
That evening, after we discuss each separately decided to action tomorrow, we have this temporary class into the ranks of the time has finally come to the dissolution. A l has today first went to Lijiang, and Zhongdian, a small blue they may stay on one day, then go to see Deqin Meili Snow Mountain, A YAN decided not to go with the little blue with them. My wife and I listen to on the road because it recognized that lugu Mix very pretty, and judging from the weather along the way, in this rainy season comes to Merrill estimates also do not see the snow-capped mountains (and later confirmed that indeed the case), so I decided not to delay the time, tomorrow, first went to Lijiang, and then go to the original plans did not intend to go to Lugu Lake.
Recommendation: In Zhongdian, car rental, rent is usually 120 a day, allowing the driver to send you to the door, and Hainan are both Bita Lake, back in the evening Zaiqu Songzanlinsi, because at that time the most beautiful, but also you can see lamas in the square Bipin scripture picture. Their own minibus ride back to Zhongdian, can be in the evening must go to eat hot pot Li-xiang Yuan, cheap, feed feet, and the service is very attentive. As long as our pot of water along the lower than the pot 1-2 cm, the waiter will automatically come to you immediately add soup, you eat a satisfying package.
