5. Pilgrimage (Part Two)
D4 six in the morning, next door Mix has begun to have a static and dynamic. We are sleeping, they must clean up get up, sky is still black, and cock to be called a good several more. We have already gathered at the roadside waiting for sunrise. Many Tibetans have also flooded at this time out, pine and rice bought from the roadside to pray. They sent the roadside pine burning furnace, and then sit-ting around perimeter, will sprinkle rice on the stove. Said this is for security and peace. We also made a side, depending on their appearance, but also bought a streamer hung on the mountain side, to pray for the whole family safe!
Gradually the sky lit up, but full of heavy clouds, the sun seemed unable to tear it. My heart was full of hope, Meri Meri ah, this year is the Year of the Goat, and also my Benming years, ah, you Can you can not open a veil of mystery to the same are considered to be the sheep blessing Mody I do? However, the clouds become increasingly thick, long before it began even thick fog, will cover all of the peaks gave a. We did not give up, always keep to the more than eight. Is still a sky full of fog. Hey, Lennart Meri, I and you really do not have fate ah! We are very upset, and later listening to Shanghai Mix, said the original Japanese to today, so definitely do not see the peak of the. Is this really the Kamiyama ah!
Ate breakfast, we decided to go Mingyong. Winding mountain road heavy fog filled the air, two meters in front of the car can not see outside. We have also cautious. Wait until 20 minutes before opening, fog gradually faded down, we relieved.
Glaciers on the foot of the main peak, but generally go there, not the best place to see the main peak. Probably more than an hour later, we went to the foot of the glacier. There are many hawkers riding for tourists to come to sell, but we decided to climb. The results began a very hard journey.
After the foot of a stream, it should be the melting of the snow-capped mountains snow-capped mountains. The road is still muddy than the Shangri-La Gorge worse than horse manure. We can only slow down, take the side of the road for fear of stepping on "bomb." As a result, the speed is even more slow. Good weather, the temperature is not low, not at all unlike the flying mist-shrouded temple. So many days, and finally to see the warm sun of the. Scenery Yet most, leaves no red up, looked around the trees are tall. Look inside The more walking on the thick woods up the water would have been barely audible. Visitors ride horses through from time to time. Temporal relationship, we would also like to back to Zhongdian, so we began to ultra-lane, approached the Road. Climbing climbing up the heat, wear clothes that really is too much. Found that many branches are hung on the clothes, was originally transferred temporarily mountain Tibetans send their clothes in the trees, down to collect. This is not a bad way. Along the way, a lot of super-Jin Dao, a very very steep and dangerous road, a little carelessness will fall to. We also back bottle, but also back the camera, often have to hands and feet to climb. The day climbing a mountain, thus we have four Chinese, and others are riding up, and felt full of pride. Tibetans have their own nature are going to climb. We fought so hard to climb, when they have many of the Tibetans down. They were so friendly and ah! Innocent smile, warm greeting banner, "le." Some shy, it washed us smile. We keep a present in return, and my heart is full of moving. If we say that to the Yunnan touched me the most is what these people of God who is love me the most.
Climbed to half of the pot two-thirds of the water has been consumed, and we are all soaked body. Think there is half the distance, and continuously to pump myself up. Pimps in the possession of the distance singing songs, naturally good voice. In the thick forest, listening to such a bold and singing, after all a pleasure. There are a lot of time, thought to be abandoned. However, on the wound and survive. 2 hours later, we are close to Plank Road, and into this place, even the horses could not walk, and we all have to walk. Plank Road on the landscape well below the valley at a glance. In moving forward, suddenly broke into the distance a beautiful snow-capped mountains to our line of sight. The original is the Goddess Peak. Crawling near-de-force journey, as it were, given us the gift of God ah! Everyone excited. Glaciers also were present in front of us, almost as big as football field.
After a Plank Road, to a very open plains. Pimps are also rest there. Zuozuo last night to see snow-capped mountains, glaciers are standing in the top, there is a large Mani Dui, hung a streamer. Unfortunately, the main peak is still being locked clouds. We asked around a bit, the original half-hour they would go forward in order to more clearly see the glaciers. No way, today's theme is "climbing" ah!
Mingyong There are many stories of Tibetan Buddhism, in quite a few places on end-sponsored by the American Nature Association, brand, description of what is here, there have been miracles. There is a very deep impression on me, is to continue to go on the road to the glacier, there is a large open space, said it was "six of transmigration of the" all things through reincarnation, is the door from here into the six. To play a roll here, you can waive the torture death of beasts.
Over the vast grassland, is high at large in, we can only go one level to climb. At this time of great suffering, every step is like a step Flemingia weight, thigh pain Buxing Le has been simply to use willpower, and are fortunate to have accompanied mountains. Finally, on to a large platform, and we carry the water has been drunk. Here to see the glaciers, is very clear. Most are white, there are some shining blue Youguang. On the snow-capped mountains with glaciers, it is spectacular!
Although the end here, but many Tibetans will be across the fence and continue along the mountain summit, above the temple there is a prince, but also a good place to view the main peak. We really could not make it move, and select down the mountain. Then listen to, they say, in the Peak to see an avalanche, and the original platform, we heard the bang Menxiang glacier is all about.
Take a look at the time, fast too late. We have chosen to ride down the mountain by. Down only when they know that we go to the mountains on the wrong road, we walk the horse Road, most people go hiking Road, on the other side. No wonder it are so difficult to walk. I was the first time riding, listening to fear, it just turns my horse did not toe the line, always loved to stop to eat grass side of the road, or else is shit, I am enough to create misunderstandings! Great for half an hour or so, we will down the mountain, they saw the clear stream. I looked back to the scenery are beautiful. Distance is the holy mountain, sandwiched on both sides of Valley Stream, acoustic murmur!
To the foot of the mountains, but also see a lot of Sichuan to the Tibetans, who are mostly from a village, a truck ride, we go on time, when they are in cooking, very crude, with a hand blower to the fire . Eat is also very simple, that is buttered tea and barley noodles, mix in the bowl, hand-twisted into a dumpling eating. A lot of fun! However, how kind of taste, they do not know.
We decided to return to flying temple to eat lunch, although already 16 o'clock, and intense physical activity, but to the hungry of all. Return the way, I have tired to fall asleep!
In the Merrill Inn, we ate a simple point, quickly replace the wet underwear off. Back to Zhongdian, on the left has. They pass through benzilan, but also in Kyrgyzstan St. Park to eat dinner, quite delicious.
Back quite a long distance Zhongdian, in the winding mountain path, Stuart finally has motion sickness. We began looking for a wide variety of topics began to chat and be distracted.
On this night, I saw the brilliant Star Shangri-La. Stars in the sky of countless stars shine, let our hearts become clean up. Crescent like a hook, half in surprise, hidden in the col. Previously described the scene inside literary books, today was finally able to see firsthand way. Recall that this two-day journey, the biggest regret is perhaps not seen Kawagebo peak. However, the Shangri-La's beauty and hardship to pay their own journey and we are very pleased to have had, not to mention the smiling faces of the Tibetan people how to make our hearts warm. Under the stars in the brilliant, with wife accompany him, and there are lovely Mix go hand in hand. At this point, results were no longer relevant. Trip happened before I went to a lifetime worth aftertaste! Shangri-La, in everyone's heart.
