"Little new you are a mechanical engineer, quick bits and pieces wheels ah!"
"I am a electronic engineers, mechanical engineers are not."
My trip to the northwest of Yunnan, just like in the clutter of a weak electric field in the electronic movement, uncertainty, erratic.
Key words Lugu Lake Meili Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Lijiang Zhongdian cells were mostly wooden Bao Ji Yulong Snow Mountain Master
2003/9/20 23:57 -2003/9/23 6:55 Shanghai - Kunming, 9 / 23 7:30-16:30 Kunming - Lijiang
"Car with the mountain turn, is a valley Bao eyes, floating down the golden sun terrace, horse drinking stream smoke shrouded, Yunnan, and over the mountains to see you"
Has undergone 55 hours of bumpy, K181 finally I fell to the Kunming. To go out alone this time has little new to get to know the train on another two donkeys, to abandon the original first went to Dali's plan to catch the 7:30 bus to Lijiang. Take a deep breath 2, accustomed to rarefied air 1,800 meters altitude, the cabin atmosphere, active, three backpackers also know the two from the way to play over the last Guizhou Hella box family of five who formed a composite unit - to go out alone in a small Xin, Xian blood only leave a small van and小朱, as well as pull boxes and small family Dongdong clear.
Because the origins of line 5 background, travel expected, physical condition, and many different factors that led to the current trip to northwest Yunnan has become an uncertain journey - no one knows where to go tomorrow, until the convening of bedtime 3 After the group meeting of people. Every day trip scheduled in the coming days, but the next day will always be changes as the physical, interest varies, or the ever-changing weather. Owing to all work together to plan carefully, and with God, making the trip to northwestern Yunnan Unfortunately, some less, some more wonderful, special significance for everyone, will never forget. (Dongdong, and Xiao-Qing Hui Hu had bought a ticket on the 30th, then EMS back to Kunming, Zhang Tuo Kunming aunt back, and re-bought the tickets on the 3rd, where grateful for my aunt.)
Shortly after 16 o'clock, all the way we suddenly tired eyes bright, sharp distant peaks Is is the legendary snow-capped mountains? Is not, what else can? Lijiang, sunny weather the past few days so that visitors feast for the eyes, Yulong Snow Mountain exposed handsome smile to welcome guests from afar.
16:30 arrived in Lijiang bus station, just to get off over a car shop, "five dollars to the city." Heard that line 6, we hastened to ask, "one person, or five five five," is really clear five-five, we met an important figure in this line, "Paul Wood Master." But the next day, we did not pack his car.
Comparison of the ancient city of 23 inns, Xinhua street to live in the "mao Hengyuan", 20 yuan / person. Hungry all the way, refused to take too much, ran to the nearest city hotels, large-yi duo together. Baba, buttered tea, soil chicken soup, wild mushroom, point a desk, smoking drinking buddy of Friends v. Zhongchang. I do not know of Yunnan cuisine has long been yearning so expect too much, or too heavy commercial taste, In a word - I forgot at that time flavor.
Did not know Shigetsune edge, and then the boss an "I'm Chen Jie," so I have reason to suspect that the Internet must be known. In the machine-gun-like discourse Jie agitation, we decided to package the next day she was recommended by car: 80 / day to the Yulong Snow Mountain.
2003/9/24 Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Inn to climb the mountain 7:00 am, the sky gradually bright, snow-capped mountains receive the first ray of sun shine, crystal clear up. Yulong 13 peak at this time only the main peak elevation of 5596 fans steep snow, while the peak of a better place to enjoy a Maoniuping. Half an hour later, the car arrived, five people packed a simple portable luggage, and proceed. Yulong Snow Mountain tickets for 40, together with the ancient city maintenance 40 (this can only be added to the Yulong Snow Mountain attraction collected), really not cheap. We are straight MAONIUPING, abandon cableway, select riding up the mountains, living in 4400 in altitude, not strenuous exercise, eat a little point of barbecue, in the misty mountains from time to time exposed the occasion of our time took some photos, but later to see if results in general.
15:00 more returned to the hotel, on the one-hour network, got a Go, check some information. We decided to change a driver the next day, so think of the "five-five" master of wood protection.
2003/9/25 First Beach Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yangtze River Inn Chang teacher's house not much wood security master took us to hit the road and chose Lijiang - bridge - on the tiger jumped - the tiger jumped - jumped the next Tiger - Bita -- Zhongdian this route. On the road, we gradually addict to get acquaintance up, wood master Let's talk about 18 strange Yunnan, began to sing the love songs Naxi. Truck did not open on the Shek Kwu Wan, near the first place, but in the Bay, about 10 kilometers after the turn to stop at places where to rest. Even so, we can probably distinguish the first Gulf Division, mountains like a fine horses, a probe riverside drinking water, so the body on both sides of the Jinsha River in Malaysia have come a 136-degree Daguai Wan.
Bridge the town at noon to eat a 80 pound fish not willing to eat, we chose 30 of the freezer to kill a good fish, but also Tingyou taste. 13:00 Multi-arrived at the tiger jumping, many visitors to this attraction, we did not stay too long, continued on our way to the tiger jumped to live Zhang Inn teacher's house. In the guides, take a Teacher Chang repair the road for the next trough, a time when the rainy season, the Jinsha River water potential considerably, the tiger jumped stone has long been submerged in the Pentium-down among the majestic flood, but the water is still the formation of the envelope can be vaguely determine the stone's location, the river, a great divide in this form, inspired countless drops of water mist, sunlight on it, or even see colorful neon. Although we have not seen Teacher Chang (boarding), but Ms. Zhang Laoshi or够味burned the chicken, the small new show Double pot and drinking buddy to share, and drank only a bottle of ice-cold beer for this trip - all as ice of the!
The stars come out at night, huge shiny Mars, the mysterious beauty of the Milky Way, as if the countryside back to childhood.
Before going to bed in the hall chatting, met a play over the northeast from the Merrill man girls with us Let's talk about how the occasional sunshine Jinshan Merrill's sacred scenes, extremely excited, let us also extremely envious. Also referred to the thousand hills, Zhongdian, fifty or sixty Tibetans turn to receive guests at home, let me filled with longing, Unfortunately, it was missed the best of luck in demand.
2003/9/26 baishuitai some cold morning Zhongdian Bita Lake, the small up and hit a new trip to boxing, the body heat up a little. After breakfast the road, cars along the Jinsha River to bypass the Haba snow-capped mountains, heading straight baishuitai. Some people say that baishuitai is worth to play, some people say is far below the Wucaiche Huanglong, I guess that might vary considerably in different seasons, which can be later Bita clearly be felt. Little new here, bought a sunflower, in the wood master's prompt, carved a "small" word. This is a stone wood Zhuanke want to come after yet another bar! Thus, "Sunflower classes of small new" was officially called up everyone. Little new under the get baishuitai another carved a "new" Unfortunately, not very good results, and later to Merrill hung in Zhongdian side of State Road 214.
Car to Bita Lake is two in the afternoon, go all the way Haizi, on the road with the Tibetan girl, guy singing in antiphonal style, of course, we only targeted at throwing bricks. Song Bo Chenglin fir around everywhere millennium old trees, gurgling streams, when the time is now hidden, along with the songs of distant moving through the ancient Tea-Horse Plank Road. Kung Fu moment, unnoticed to the forest edge, in front of a large meadow, distant tranquil blue lake, lake grass form a contrast, oxen and horses wandering around the meantime, it is like to Xanadu.
Scenery on the road to Zhongdian unlimited, vapor clouds, mountains and cascading, from near and far, with blue sky as the end, we can see the golden grass green dark green dark green Dai Qing, a good one ink landscape painting.
To Zhongdian we live a non-dasht-colored hotel in the evening and wood protection with a good food to eat street "Luandun" 30 dollars a pot, eat Zhihan cool also.
2003/9/27 Songzanlinsi Zhongdian - Meri morning, spent two hours playing Songzanlinsi, bought knives in the vicinity. Even with awe, small and Singapore also did not see "Little Potala Palace" is worth more than how to play, but added, and a repair for the 20-year lamas chatted, that here there are more than 700 monks, indeed, I dare not look down on the temple. It is said that Karma Dan Songzanlinsi is Yunnan Province's largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, but also the great monasteries in Kham, one of the famous. Songzanlinsi also known as naturalization Temple, 5 km away from Zhongdian County. Built in AD 1679, 1681 completion. Ciming pro-Dalai Lama "Karma Dansson Tsan Lin." Legend, in the period of Gushi Khan and V, the Dalai Lama, Tibet disaster-prone, for 7 years, no harvest of grain, and everyone is trapped in Oliver, people panic. V, the Dalai Lama asked Gua divination, decided to build in the Tibetan areas, "13 forest," the site, the Dalai Lama V, divination may God show "tree Shen You are Qingquan, generals during Golden Egret Divertimento." Sure enough, now the seat of a fresh air pouring Songzanlinsi, Four Seasons inexhaustible, so, where to build the temple. Otera Block, north to south, for the five-story building will house Tibetan carved. The main hall the upper gold-plated copper tiles, upturned corners of animal kiss cornices temples, but also a Han-style temple architecture, the lower hall has 108 columns Ying, on behalf of the Buddhist auspicious number. Around the walls of Buddhist scriptures, "rolls of cabinet," the Dalai Lama V, the main hall enshrines the statue of the front, then lined with the remains of the famous monk Lama. Apse for people Tsongkhapa, Maitreya Buddha, the Dalai Lama VII statue.
Pay homage to finish, we then added forage Zhongdian County, rushed after the Meili Snow Mountain, along the way followed by a moment of nostalgia rock and roll tape for a while, a few kilometers of the 214 national highway number, the year 2003, the small new excited to see 1964, 1959 Jinsha River came a major turning down Ω, 1949 liberation of啦,啦... ... history of 1911 Revolution in 1911 seemed to follow us all the way back down the Meili Snow Mountain! ! We have seen! Driving through benzilan white Mang Snow Mountain, approaching Deqin county, we see snow-capped mountains! Kawagebo peak position with its majestic standing proudly as the clouds, in the record of this memorable occasion, I did not forget time and again stressed that "some of my looks tiny bar!"
We do not have to stay in the county town, straight to fly Temple. Here several Inn balcony or roof has been erected numerous "cannon" and opt for the opposite peaks. We chose "Merrill Inn" and stay there, sitting in a bath on the second floor balcony overlooking snow-capped mountains, wait senselessly long time.
2003/9/28 Meili Snow Mountain Mingyong Che Gulu run faster than the cars get up at 6:30, had been walking outside, the sky, though still dark, Kawagebo goddess the four peaks are like standing on the earth's Qionglouyuyu , sparkling, sacred exceptions, sight again like in thousands of miles apart. 7:00, the Peak increasingly discerning and up, BAI Liang 1; 7:15 a Golden Peak, the sacred rare "sunshine Jinshan"! Beauty beyond words to describe, only quietly appreciate the intention.
9:00 later, we ate rice, a small new and Dongdong Xiao-qing three starting Ben Mingyong. Way Pentium Lancang, but also excited about it, did not see backward in the Three Parallel Rivers of the Nu River. Mingyong the Kawagebo foot, from the altitude of 5,500 meters curved downward to 2700 meters above sea level and is today the land's highest and lowest latitude of modern glaciers with a total length 11.7 kilometers wide and more than 500 meters. After the movement of glaciers thousands of years, through ice, you can see You-blue ice, the ice under the spring water flows from time to time to hear the voice of Bing Lie, and sometimes still see Bingzha or gravel from the ice slide down, ding-dong creaked. Let's take a mule and then down along the cliff climbing formwork erected, the maximum reach an elevation of about 4400 can be regarded as a close contact with the glacier.
Many of the Tibetans to worship the way we meet to say "le," the atmosphere was very friendly. When we returned to the hotel, it is already more than three in the afternoon, so consult a good rush benzilan accommodation. Sometimes the car to go flat asphalt road, sometimes take the bumpy gravel road, I guess that is because the mountain is very slippery so there is no rain all paved with asphalt. However, our car gave a bomb planted in a set. Car to 214 State Road 1933, several of us are in obscurity, the sudden feeling of intense bumps up, eyes open one to see the car in front of a Che Gulu in the roll, what come to understand, is certainly our cars wheel out. Because of brake failure and is a downhill, car and dragged nearly 100 meters after the stop. Paul Wood on the red down to the master opened the door, turned the wheel to pursue, and we thought that the car no spare tire, and quickly helped to find, but the downhill is too steep, a small new only slowly kick kick the go turning for a long time have not been found, but to let up. 6:15, the sun down soon, and wooden wheels Paul has not been found, and we called, he hastened to repair up. In fact, spare tire is there, but the wheel has been deformed inside the coil, and the brake system completely failed. Beat for a long time reluctant to press the spare tire, remove the three screws on the other three wheels, four wheels finally able to turn up, but who dare not sit, wood protection to fend for themselves in first gear to benzilan Fortunately, Only there is no uphill downhill. In the meantime, we have played countless rescue telephone, 110,120, Yunnan Tourism Bureau, Zhongdian repair companies, and so on, only one vehicle has promised to start from Zhongdian to, but 7 per kilometer, back and forth, then, that is, 1400, discussed later, we still gave up. Watching from the telescope in front of the village about ten kilometers on, we thought that benzilan. The time was 7:23, we all bring food and water, saying with a smile on foot 214. Within half an hour in addition to the two trucks come across the opposite, there is no other any vehicle through, fast 8:00, and days on which the black down, everyone is worried that up, then just come to a mini-bus, which sat two Lama, we can only allow two girls and one man crowded up, leaving a small new and Dongdong to continue on foot. The feeling of two people walking, and 5 is completely different individuals, small to buy a new leg touched a knife in Zhongdian, thinking that there are 12 wolves really still be able to deal with, when mobile phone quickly without electricity, and can only open one , in no hurry to step up when the signal. Yuemo 8:30 we find that only 1936 kilometers to the Department, only three kilometers an hour, too slow. Fortunately, when the phone came, and wood protect the rescue vehicle set out. Also supporting a quarter of an hour, in riding on a rescue vehicle, our hearts defense he made a full go, and then call or Faduanxiaoxi. Later on, we come to realize that from 1933 there are 36 kilometers benzilan. If you really want to walk, needs a night. The driver said that when there are no roads there are wolves and leopards, but then the road came, greatly reduced. We are fearful. But anyway, finally near misses.
Telescope is not seen Benzilan, but also a small village, where we ate dinner, just hit a few good man, an advertising company in Shanghai's owner, a director of Beijing's producer, as well as a Kunming drivers. Promised to give a lift to take us to Zhongdian, so five people squeezed into the Toyota Land Cruiser is a powerful, Night Train also open to an average of 60 yards. 11 o'clock we reached Zhongdian county, thanked the three good people, we moved into the forest police hotels, a good-star hotel has just been renovated.
2003/9/29 Zhongdian - Lijiang for the first time a big Lanjue sleeping, more than 10 before taking to the streets early to eat lunch. To the station we are only 2 points to buy tickets, so a group of people sat down to play cards, pretty boring bar! Way the afternoon, there is hardly walk, let us complete the feeling of Yunnan-Tibet line, then Britain and dirty. Car slowly along the Jinsha River tributary of the line, occasionally hydropower station, cut off the Pentium brooks, streams suddenly lost its cheerful laughter, listlessness up, I think those who advocate to build power plants in the so-called "white water of the stream is also a" point of view is simply illiterate! Without water there is no vitality to life, water, no mountains, there is no spiritual life. Lijiang station to go to the lake the next day we bought tickets. Live at night wishful Inn, Standard Room 25 / person, one night without words.
2003/9/30 Lijiang - Lugu Lake in Lijiang to Lugu Lake, the car must go through Ninglang Xian City, 26.5 the ticket only to Ninglang, do not worry about himself, the driver has already introduced a good waiting for the next bus. In fact, the Ninglang nearly 13:00, the new half hour after the driver agreed to stop eating. It was originally brings us to a former shop in the middle of nowhere black shops, think about one of the 18 liver, 8 bowl of soup noodles, you have what appetite? Then water is added by the auto-shaped machine to do guides, but do not forget the skin tube inserted in the faucet. Lugu Lake has finally met! Cars are moved into straight, "Emperor of the Sea Floor," the compound, the boss asking price of 30, we Zhiwang Wai away, the driver forgot their duties, and to help detain a guest. We are five people have already linked a good grid is Dorje home inn, and then I take the initiative to 20 / person, when the fare paid, the driver only to discover that you forgot to close our transportation money, and then one by one to find another 11 people on board, Finally, there is no leveling, do not know, ha ha to the grid while at home we lived upstairs room, a room of two old-fashioned large wooden bed. 10 / people, really cheap! Only three more, we lay down their luggage at multi-pointing embarked on the next to the lake. Through the pack fruit trees, beautiful quiet lake in front of us. The first breath trance for a while, suddenly excited, Juqi a handful of water, wash the face dust. Sent for sexual passion, stolen potato barbecue, enjoying themselves.
6 points more than to return to Georgia is home Doje brother ready for dinner, and a few vegetables go well with rice, plus Zhubiao Rou, but the small number of new eating two and we were not used to four fingers thick, fat fat, in fact, that the meat really good, sweet but not too sweet for the night's bonfire party supply thereafter, the energy.
Bonfire party had been heard, or that we pay close attention to finish the last one meal. Near 8:00 the sky was dark down, far away to hear the show live sound. 10 / person admission, inside the atmosphere is the warmest month Mosuo forty to fifty small group half-circle girls Wai, National Cheng Kung University, Fellow of the feet were sonorous and forceful, girls figure Graceful. You people will soon join the slow pace from the simple to the complex and fast and does not stay ten days and a half months, it is difficult all learn. After a chaotic group photo to begin singing in antiphonal style, first Mosuo guy and girls are right, there are high-pitched with excitement Rouqingsishui; followed by tourists and local people in Xinjiang girls rated as impressive performances.
9:00, evening ended, we go home. We sat down drink and chat, Georgia is home Huotang Bian. At this time we feel the Internet is called the "postdoctoral" in Dorje indeed learned, quite "Mosuo Prince" temperament. At this time, it is necessary to recall the concept of previous Moso tribe. Moso is probably the earliest known from a sociology journal, the "last matriarchal society," "walking marriage", "mysterious and ancient." Then there are magazines of a certain old men and young Mosuo astonishing record of 17 nights away, then walked back to his daughter out of the country by the Young's such a hype, plus business travel and in nurturing ... ... the number of honest and fraudulent, how many lies and truth, the number of expectation and disappointment, the number of beauty and evil, Lugu Lake, ah, you can afford them?
The less two, or drink bar, and Georgia is Big Brother, enjoy wine in the mouth of Mary Sullivan, give me a咣when the bar! Dorje, stop Jiangguigushi, you know that I am a man sleeping in a room. Midnight has passed, almost everyone drank a couple of pounds, body buoyant up, drank a few "last cup", I finally struggled up the bed and then咣became
2003/10/1 morning I actually first Lugu Lake is a natural wake up. Washed meal is completed, the upstairs rooms there is no surprise that the dynamic and static not let them woke up, and Dongdong beat the door pops pops "小朱! Little Fan!" Knocked for a long time that there is no reaction. Do they think I am downstairs at night to feel the Soso, was someone GOP turn on the ground unable to "mad rush away"? Dongdong anxious, and Mengza door, about to get on the front foot surmise second, which snorted, everyone gave breath. This is what I think is really drunk, such as Dorje said,咣when the 7 days 7 nights!
Today is the day we visit the Lugu Lake, there are two of the mob with me get up early and out early, and we honestly pack a car, from Doje when the wizard, a look inside the starting grid. We sat on the back of mini vans, Shashi pull the wind, the beauty of the lake are also unscrupulous greet our eyes, quiet Youlan lake as a mirror-like reflected upside out of dark green mountains and the quiet, picturesque blue sky in the water is even more suspect that in the end who is blue. Shallow colorful plants is clearly visible at far some water lotus quietly open, occasionally Zhu Caochuan across the occasion in this Tianshui, like exposure to fairyland. Rigby Peninsula are like a huge crocodile dormant lake, Gehm goddess shines a sacred mountain in front of the light. One could not help but wonder, Cijing should only be the sky!
Back to the grid while at home, Doje borrowed barbecue apparatus, we were surrounded by a group of 10 played a roasted chicken, ribs, potato, cucumber ... ... come Xiaopan Chongqing, good barbecue, tells us that indeed a roasted leek can also let me Long seen all. Is probably too tired to eat after drinking too much alcohol you have not only chat to sleep very early, probably even know that tomorrow hurry bar.
The Doje's book, small New wrote:
"Thanks to Georgia so that we are big brother closer to the truth, loyal sons and daughters for generations Mosuo blessings happiness, to maintain their own traditions, a strong body of anti-lived alien invasion of civilization ... ..."
2003/10/2 Lugu Lake - Lijiang Lijiang - Kunming, we pack the car to Ninglang, buy the last few tickets to Lijiang, casually eating dry food, basically the whole day in hurry to get somewhere.
Worried that their votes back to Kunming, good to buy the Baituo early wood to help protect master. Fortunately, we have the foresight, or else really would not buy a ticket. To Lijiang and wood meal with security master, intended to introduce a business to him, a pity that his wife let him to return Zhongdian, and made a special trip to accompany her daughter, wooden Paul swept our grins, it is free and easy. During the meeting, a small fan continually tease his daughter speak, a very beautiful little girl, quite liked. Wood Paul tells us that, since the temple was coming to steal his wheels unsuccessful, so Elastic rear screw, and a friend told him. Fortunately, not voted for the front wheel, we have only fortunate.
Eating there for an hour to drive into the city of our fast, to find his last gift to buy, the small new city in the last one out of shop to buy the Iraqis want, Sachiya.
Night car ride, we should leave, and some homesickness, but in particular to accept defeat, a very complicated state of mind.
