Lijiang soft time if you listen to my music down in tears, you do not have to open the windows to ask you Who are you? Who is this sentence and I say it? A long time ago there is an impulse to do one usually can not think about things, run away, escape, wandering, give it up?
Because a person aware of Lijiang, because a man yearning for Lijiang, because the same man went to Lijiang. Autumn is thick, from Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport and the appointment of the unfamiliar and understanding of friends and gray skies to say goodbye. As if this scene had appeared in a dream, walking calmly. Aircraft to the territory of Yunnan, lit terrace, Zuozuo mountains, accompanied by colored clouds present before our eyes. This Caiyunzhinan infinite beautiful place is no longer a dream for me. Lijiang airport landing aircraft that moment, I know I will start a journey, to forget the city's hustle and bustle, to lay down their messy thoughts. I think that all tourists from the airport to the ancient city of Lijiang in the way it seems to have been mythologized to guess where is? Well, now I want to come here soon going to guess the people say no, because you never think of what you will experience the process. Anxious waiting, the first Indian woman daytime and into the eyes of the Naxi, followed by the ancient city of mouth that never-ending water tankers, seven years of their lives to bear the seven hundred years of history. Stone bridge, flowing water, or streets, Shenxiang, and an endless stream of people. Zoulehenjiu decided to live in the Panda Inn, which will appear in the martial arts has always been the familiar names and proprietress of the north-east accent, so I have a reliable feeling. Waiting for the arrival of other friends, I and a rise in Shanghai boys william despite some sore legs, slightly to see the beginning of Lijiang. Eyeful of scenes I do not know how to choose, simply to accept all of the first bar, an ancient town, intertwined with the traditional Dongba culture of Naxi ancient music, and the air flow slowly ambiguous atmosphere, this ambiguity can be any romance in the meantime things, it can make you give up all the impulse to want to stay. DV casually patting holding the first time, a city let me know what to do. I have only returned to Panda Inn was small courtyard, slowly tasting boss invited us to eat glutinous rice balls, quietly waiting for the companions have not met, the two girls, TINA Fuzhou and Sanya's PEKKY, hoping that they give me sort out thoughts. Did not think my posts are to attract beautiful women, two lovely girls have come, I want eye-candy of the companions is the beginning of a pleasant journey. One male and three female students, with absolute security. Dusk gradually starting, another friend called in advance to contact, we decided to eat together, meet tomorrow to discuss the trip on foot tiger jumped. Suddenly excited, all localities should quote a friend, a total of six people (those outside the two girls EONG and TERACY), eating the best food on this trip Lijiang grilled fish, young at heart by the close. We should say that when I see backpackers piece of outdoor clubs competing boards of Friends of peer-Shangri-La is our lucky start. In that little attic rooms, we met a lovely guide and brother, tall thin Naxi Ren, black face is very nice and great sense of security, is also a way to get along after, we gradually discover and brother of the gentle and thoughtful, the tough kind of tenderness. The accident, picking up a young couple to honeymoon (small hole, and Zhang Di, They journey in the future become our pistachios, sweet to go all the way. Of course, the silence in the first two gave me a doubt the honeymoon authenticity.) The first night, we live in an apartment, where three girls in between a boys outside, and perhaps their having motives, no sleep.
The next morning, everything is ready, and his brother were led by, we began a six-foot tiger jumping and access to Shangri-La tour. Car was circling the mountain asked the steadily forward, Jun-Ling mountains and cliffs on either side, now is the quiet girl like the Jinsha River. The river in the sunlight suffused with golden light. The first stop was the Yangtze River First Bay, which is why Bay because it is the first well-known, but the scene is not knowledgeable. Near noon, the car to 14 kilometers away from the tiger jumped at, where mountain wind whistled, gravel flying occasionally, that is where we start on foot. Because of the childhood climbing experiences, I face a steep mountain road, there is not much fear, TIAN then slept well and frustrated due to, and his brother encouraged her to take care of us, large and small backpack to collapse on themselves. There is no way to go into the mountain, sun face, do not climb a few steps on the breathless, but fortunately the magnificent scenery along the way live up to our hopes. Blue sky, white clouds, green trees, golden water. Triangular stone on the tiger jumped quietly stand in the river, we have only looked at much, imagine what kind of tiger jumped. Zhang Di Gege holes, and among us and his brother were outside the physical addition to the best, all the way on top, we often talk later how these two do not like the newly-married couple, not too simple and honest coquetry of the bride and groom, and perhaps This is the power of love, and the remaining few, including myself, as unsatisfactory as it fled the feelings of people here are essentially different. In a time when we are most tired and chose a walnut tree to rest and his brother were using stones to crack a few nuts we eat, the taste of sweet can still remember now. WILLIAM because of the accident found themselves down to the physical even behind a bunch of small stature of the girl, his face angry, try as we may no smile how funny, Xingran independence, which we later scene has been a dash of humor, but fortunately he was is not like the people of Shanghai, Shanghai people are laughing every reference Cijing was embarrassing its own state. Ate the most fresh walnuts, we all got it together, then the road, 1:00 mountain flowers everywhere, the pace is light. Photographs, video, the most beautiful scenery in the most beautiful feelings on record. With a dog barking, see is the two farmers. Chaifei light cover, we have followed and his brother into an enthusiastic owner of Shui Ling Zhai to pears and apples. Filled a full stomach, because I eat well, pears nuclear gracefully on the ground, so that later became my Chili-core patents. Good-bye to the villagers honest, we're going to eat lunch HALFWAY famous. Narrow mountain road twists and turns, from time to time but also to make way for sheep, from time to time streams pour down from the mountain streams, large small waterfall, well looks like a jade belt winding section. Hill, vigorous, water, delicate, silent blue sky, white clouds drift. About 2 o'clock in the coming HALFWAY, where the menu is thin bamboo sticks created, had gone through quite a frightening thoughts, and our a la carte master EONG very clean Liso point of the table and taste the food, the United States and the United States in a small courtyard to eat a Burton. Gossip, small hole right in the courtyard of the hinge corn machine became interested in, shouting praise here, people are very intelligent, prepared to return home to promote, we have always thought she should have received praise from his home government, the way to their honeymoon did not forget to promote his hometown to contribute to economic development. There are a lot of tourists walking past message, encourages feelings, are people who love to travel. Here the value of a mention are the best in the world toilet, just a MIGRAINEURS, Tiger Leaping Gorge on the infinite beauty Jinxian fundus. Leave here, after basically down the road, and the flow, and from the legs to the heart is relaxed. 5:00 and more, we saw a far TINAS, online rave reviews of the hotel. Wanted to sit on upper slopes of the setting sun dyed the sky, but unfortunately several times seen a sunset red, sunset is getting hit, in order to ensure the second day of physical, obediently before dark to TINAS.
TINAS hostess was not at home, but it did not affect this shop warm and thoughtful service, we washed the comfort of a hot bath, dinner坐在院子里chat. The night the wind was blowing with mountains and unique fresh breeze, the sky gradually darkening the sky like dark blue velvet soft and can not be touched, the rise of starry, moon like a hook. Each face has a wine, Yunnan Tibetan village when the real estate alcohol, low spirits, import Mi Xiang, even those of us who usually do not stick sister wine to rush me in a toast. I remember that night was my first time in tears throughout the journey, regardless of the time because of the Star of America, or revelry Earned or wine into the feeling of sadness, there is the Galaxy for me to testify, that night I was really touched. A meteor across, surrounded by girls who rushed Wishing that this special night, special place, what should I, as meteors, like this for whom Xu brilliant but short-term wishes come true? Opposite will never be able to see the night sky in the city singing like a girl full of romantic pool of spring water steady stream overflow, and perhaps in retrospect, and only WILLIAM did not jump into the steel pipe dance is the only regret. A night without dreams.
The next is our second day on foot tiger jump, today's task is from the narrow winding path down to the tiger jump, and then returned by the ladder, though not far from comparable to the first day of multi-adventure. Perhaps the day before I go too fast today, legs aching, shivering straight downhill. Today's scene is somewhat different as compared with yesterday, may not be so magnificent could be more of a deep gorge valleys, trees lush, and occasionally can be seen the cave, the probe into the dark one, where in excellent shape reminiscent of martial arts masters of the practice of land. Probably walked for nearly an hour, from the altitude of 2080 meters of the hotel in the gorge down to 1,600 meters above sea level in the tiger jumped the river, passing through the cul-de Zhang Xiu teacher's house, to have to buy road characteristics Natiao no money trail I have nothing big the impression in the mind are all spectacular scenery tiger jump, ears and only hit the rocks on the river row sent a huge sound. Tiger jumping stone is a stone before the dangerous shoals, bits and boulders seemingly messy heap together, are actually interlocked, visitors can continue to climb away from the river, close to places. Look at the river churn, where the narrowest part of the river is only 30 meters, both sides are towering cliff, far looked as if Emergency Link days, hence the name thin strip of sky. Like to see a few people and I looked at the river made a half-day stay, I do not know as I do not think about the same is a River, yesterday, as if gently passionate girl, but today as the mighty mighty vibration-day, around the environment changed, Even Mother Nature could not raise a daughter and son, after all, to obtain peace of mind, worldly things and people have a general thought. Trance mood over, under the leadership of our guide back down the ladder. This section should be the most advantageous of this trip, and the so-called ladder is a vertical cliff built by the same path as the ladder, the ladder is only half a meter or so wide, and only under a Capacity plant stature than the thin person who passed, both sides of the column is also no protection. Road, in the three paragraphs after this, the longest period of rate of around 50 meters. We filed out one by one line, clinging to the narrow iron bars, I was trembling of the hands to the heart, if not careful, Tematsu what, I might should always stay in the beautiful mountains in the. Fortunately, and his brother were very carefully, has been encouraging us, ladder safety sent us the ground, heaven has been away from us very close. Three in the afternoon to return to TINAS, some regret that the TERACY and EONG due to holidays, then we must with us different. Time and their parting hug, and another left the address, even though you know very well that the encounter may not necessarily be a rare occurrence, but the Retention dream of it, so that at least there is hope. Slight rest, we had left eight people who began the next journey, we arrived at baishuitai night. Towards the evening when the car entering baishuitai small village, where only a few a few households, almost everyone has a shelf full of golden yellow corn, said in a midday sun, and corn will map out the brilliant golden light. Ancient cottage, simple villagers, leisure brought by donkey cart, and we suddenly burst into the visitors of this dry and harmonious integration into the afterglow of sunset years, waiting for us is how a night? Random a walk here, paths, days are dark. Into a small restaurant, and only three tables, one already gathered four people in Taiwan, friendly and they are prodded. Service quickly candles, sorry we explained that the night of the blackout may not have come. I think tonight's special is here, and a small mountain village candlelight dinner. A soil chicken soup (a little expensive, the wizard gave a price of even 60, I heard that the people of Taiwan collected 80) and four vegetables, drink a little and his brother with the highland barley wine, eating his boss three sunflower seeds, which is We are the best way to warm a night. The First Sound sing in the early morning cock when we wake up today, first go baishuitai viewing. Gone not long to go. Baishuitai as its name implies. Xintaizi of white water, of course, by no means only these. It is autumn, the water is relatively small, seen from afar is only white. Many people may be very disappointed, and even this return, is obliged to enter to see. Very small and very clear water cascading down the natural platform for the formation of slowly shedding, the water table is white, very hard to feel the texture of sun exposure table is suffused with green, deeply shallow, especially at the peak overlooking the panorama, you have to sigh as much as this uncanny workmanship of nature, great care. Those with the potential for a long cascading down the calcium carbonate deposition, but also mixed with the color of certain minerals I have made the difference, do you think this is a fine man committed, we will find impossible to carve such a man would feel that nature itself of the monolithic boulders, only sigh, only praise. Baishuitai next to an irregular similar to the meandering waters of the pond, bottom covered with green plants, water incomparably brighter, the overall appeared to be jade, wizards, fairies bath that is called here. The few of us also do not have stood humble waterside jokes that fairies came down. Guys and Dolls to see the reflection of the water to the showground. If it is summer, PEKKY sister may really want to swim here.
Today the weather particularly good, clear water and clear skies, clouds are also graceful, wind Roumei. At noon all the destination is on a lake. Drove for two hours or so, we went here. Perhaps here, all languages are redundant, and all colors will be bleak, we just kept say too beautiful, too beautiful. Very fragrant barbecue at noon, I think we eat absent-minded, just want a quick eat, hurry to the lake. The United States and the other people here, suffocation, because its water is too blue, sapphire blue it is not thorough, because the lake's aquatic plants are too bright, bright gold without its charm. One side is a wide lawn, two fine horses, Xian Ting-sheng step; side is a virgin forest, exudes a mysterious atmosphere. Suddenly a kind of felt like crying, from deeply moved. There are a variety of towering old trees in virgin forest fantastic flowers, birds sound of hard to isolate herself from the ears, the subtle fragrance bursts of floating in it. I can not put into the minds of all this, my eyes my nose my ears and my heart is not enough. Through the golden birch leaves, streaks of sunlight on the face, it seems to tell me, as long as you can because such beauty moved to tears, as long as you want to share everything here, then there is the sun shone into the of your heart. Forget when forget what to forget the pain by just to let you heart do not forget that sunny person. Departure is inevitable, but do not forget, an all lakes.
Leaving an all lakes are along the way to see Shangri-La style of scenery, hill and dale brown green red and yellow, bright as we feel. That there are always way higher than the day the scene, winding roads are often close to 360-degree turns, eyes wide vision, sitting in the car can see the blue sky, accompanied by clouds descend quickly head. The way through the Napa lake, according to La Prairie, we just looked far, far from everywhere Autumn relieved against untouchable. Sauna Reservoir was beautiful, especially in the vicinity of a slope in full bloom with clusters of the Euphorbia, sounded flirtatious and mysterious name, gorgeous fiery. I remember that afternoon, the car sat for a long time, and we are all singing along the way, until the voice hoarse, the setting sun, Zhongdian County, appeared on the front. Here is the Tibetan residential area, you can see a lot of monks, are tall and dark complexion. We stayed at the hotel restaurant called breast hippopotamus, the owner Liang boss hospitality, I think he should be home in a relatively wealthy local families, alone in the courtyard of the four pillars is the Millennium Cooper. Night we went to the county a fish hot pot hot pot restaurants, never tasted so delicious thing, and this is a special night, eating the pride soaring, it should be the day I was promoted to fellow partners for the princess, because Liang owner of a princess lucky, I also drank a glass of white wine. Gege lucky, I'm so happy. Too many details I can not 11 records, Naxi words "I love you," Tibetan "I love you," I still remember, but also clearly remember the talk with each other Zhongchang Zhang Di and the holes of the classic language, Travels want to see my friends, one day people can find love.
The Deqin aim is to look at Meili Snow Mountain, early in the morning we will embark on the journey, about 16 o'clock to the Dade Qin county. This year is the snow-capped mountains of the 50-year-old birthday, pilgrims from all over came a lot of Tibetans are sitting convertible car, Tibetan Buddhism's charm is evident. Here the local residents are basically Tibetans, Tibetan surprised to find very slender body, long legs, facial outline a clear, side and very pretty. This day is most proud of is a luxury to the beauty shop to wash his head, although the poor condition of the Tibetan girl, but to help you have a massage, nor is it where can enjoy. Lofty sky, there are bright half of the tunnel. Deqin early morning cold, breath is the vast expanse of whiteness. Temple of the morning went to fly, waiting for the sunrise, waiting for sunshine Jinshan. Meili Snow Mountain is usually in order to see the whole picture is very difficult because there are always clouds cover fog cover, seat is still a virgin mountains, no one had conquered. It is a total of 13 peaks, the peak for the Kawaboge peak. Low clouds when the sun shines on Xuefeng, shone golden light, very lucky to be able to see the main peak. Listen here people say that lovers often have to live or travel photographer for several months or even years waiting for sunrise wonderful landscape. We drank yak butter tea, have a warmth to the body after the fixed on the sky, a lot of low cloud, it seems that not optimistic. Slowly the sky has changed, and orange-red exposed out. First clouds, then it is hidden behind the peaks, amber-like crystal clear. We see two peaks, Kawaboge peak and foot of the mountain. Often because they do not expect it to be met, just as today, Kamiyama giving us luck and happiness, a worthwhile trip. Now look at snow-capped mountains to see if in the end, in order to closer to the holy white, and the latter's goal is to Mingyong. It is located Kawaboge foot peak is the lowest elevation on land today, the lowest latitude of modern glaciers. To save time we are riding up. Although I was born from the vast expanse of grasslands, can never formally to ride a horse, it is some excitement. In Malaysia with the help of several of our children have been successfully launched, Britain embarked on bumpy toss of the glacier. Both the beautiful scenery on the way because the horse has thrills. Ma endemic habits, like walking along the roadside, where the roadside is an abyss, sitting immediately there is a real feeling of resignation. Last, the road to our own foot up, adhere to the highest point. Cold of snow in the air atmosphere refreshing. And the pilgrimage of people together, mind has also been purified. The same day came a living Buddha, and the scene is very lively. The strange thing is Qian Ma's younger brother helped me say that I am a long as the Tibetan girl, it is to me quietly Qiexi about that. Let us have the same Qiexi the horses, and his brother were finally told we are all mules, riding mules also good, or do not know when another opportunity. The evening of that day back again Zhongdian, live, last time we stayed in hotels, the owner invited us to drink buttered tea and homemade yogurt, yogurt, and I surprised to find the same drink at home.
The seventh day left Shanghai, Shangri-La trip to the sixth day, today is our last day of eight people together. Morning went to the Pine save Monastery. It is a vision very much like the Potala Palace, inside is dignified. I know very little about religion, so during a visit gingerly, wary of offending the sacred temple, although we do not kneel down to worship, but I think as long as we learn to respect one's heart, they would be respected. Before I left, there is an old monk had opened for me, send light safety charms, yellow filament tape, with me in the future can not predict the future of Pinganshifu, I think. Afternoon we returned to Lijiang, holes, and Zhang Di had to take a night bus to Kunming, and then fly back to Qingdao. Suddenly the air was filled with sadness, we silence each other, there must have scattered Poly. Will eventually want to leave, no tears will be better.
Back to Lijiang rest of the day, we live in the Big Brother house and opened hotels Walker Hotel. And his brother concluded its work alone to find music. Heard is to hawk, Naxi men, their activities can not be with a woman, allegedly brought a woman less than a hawk on prey capture. But since the lake will not do not have the time. Mosuo style where the rich, the mysterious daughter of the country can not resist the temptation. In the local customs and should be regarded as the most famous walking marriage, which is one of the form of their marriage, there is a shaky foundation of love at first sight. In Lijiang, Lugu Lake began to rest for a day trip. The first four is the last four individuals, along with chartered to go. Lugu the most beautiful is its vision, it is with the lake are all completely different styles. One looked only blue, Yinyun fleeting, as if fairyland. The water in the days between the recumbent form a contrast with the Sleeping Beauty, quiet elegance, I wonder if she was silently waiting for the guests from afar, or go into exile lover. If we say that a woman such as water, lake water is full of mean woman, veiled, you do not see the face that she had felt beautiful Akinami unlimited. Her eyes transfer, tearful, the sky it began to rain, drowning the village open space in front of rainbow appeared. Insidious, and very beautiful. About Rigby Peninsula, see the real Mosuo girl, gentle and shy. Can not fail to mention here, there is a person, Tashi. He seems to be here, signs, each country's record on the daughter's film, movies, or books will not forget that describes this man. His well-known because of his inn, but also because of his commander. Like to see this legendary figure, I have to admit that he looks better than we thought well in advance. A Western cowboy, dressed in angular profile, dark skin, deep eyes. While the conversation with him makes me feel that he did not like the appearance of the same as the inner attracted me, he said that the sentence is indeed very reasonable, can not forget the past, no future. Return to secular life, he should be more attractive before the bar. Some of Tashi's girlfriend looks old, is very facial signs, and their daughter, five for a very beautiful, is a wild little girl full, and often called her father handsome guy. Tashi Families provide free tea Liaoba, which were often gathered curtain away tourists, it is fun. That evening bonfire party, there is Kaoquan Yang. Shengge staged night after night of living the joy of what is meet by chance, or come to an end of sorrow. Silent quiet night on the island, sleeping in a room surrounded on three sides of water through the big floor windows, Remembrance of Things Past. The next morning bid farewell to Tashi, the four of us sit Zhu Caochuan return to the village fell into the water. Inundated with rain and mist shrouded lake, gradually disappearing Rigby Peninsula, when the longer meet with you.
Go back to Lijiang, Lijiang has a good look at this the. The dream of countless people have had its shadow. This is an exceptionally different city. The incredible blue sky, clear water of the Buzhexianchen, mysterious and enchanting, elegance and warmth, the foot of the mountain snow and flowers, as if in winter and spring to live forever. . . After long years of walking in the city, every piece of tile, every ray of sunshine, every trace of a trace of wind and rain are constantly telling you it's history. Tea-Horse Road past prosperity looming, shops everywhere, both hand-carved ancient Naxi have a modern bar restaurant, extreme opposition at the moment would come to a natural integration. Days in Lijiang is a laid-back, walking in the long Shenxiang, ready to get lost. Sitting in the small waterside bar, ready to daze. Or a turn around the same eyes met, fell in secular worldly; or drink Weizui blurred vision and look forward to start a Yan Yu. Unfortunately, the thoughts here will be deep, hopeless, standing at a crossroads, often have the impulse to tears. Has been tested not only the vibrations of your mind, as well as the visual impact. All in all, people, wood carvings, Cang Shi, bars and music, not what you have to choose, but to learn to give up anything, only to give up before they are finally available, or you want are not. Frequented a restaurant called the wood and stone carvings mark, the owner is a middle-aged men, like Qi Qin's songs, love and guests to explain the meaning of his sculptures, with the Chinese language is full of philosophical interpretation of Naxi scriptures. Sometimes there will be a very strange idea, where all too easy to fall in love with one person. We all lay down their camouflage, easy-going sensibility. This might be a suitable place to love, love of the season, and even the air is also floating a taste of love. Paris is the recommended line of small bars, all kinds of liquor Western Chinese food, affordable, taste good. The legend is a Parisian since fallen in love with a local Naxi girl and stay. Went to the boss is, in fact know the Northeast people, things to do well, that is almost musical election. Speaking of music, a shop called the stone can be engraved on CD-ROM, where there are more exotic music, but also buy some great quality books, and occasionally stayed there for an afternoon, discovered that himself and this world there is a 1000 wire Wanlv relationship. More time sitting in the piazza afternoon to enjoy the warm sunshine, four open-ended chat, drink tea and watch Tianyi little dark, this feeling of luxury I often feel guilty. Lijiang charming gift to the night, the lanterns are stone bridge, happiness and sadness began to be staged.
Lijiang, the day before leaving we went to the beam river, more ancient than the villages in Lijiang. Very few tourists, mostly foreigners. Quiet village if only acoustic. Here is my windfall, but also regret. Astonishing glimpse, end is no longer able to forget. Perhaps it would be an excuse to come back next time.
I want to what kind of a beginning and end, on a trip, a feeling of life dressed in beautiful gowns. Many years ago, one night, and today, the moon hung high, he saw all kinds of human worldly mundane, people wishing to language is also closed. Spring 18 is only half-a fate, why do you insist on it hard? Because to understand, so compassionate, so relieved. And the only chance to get together again Lijiang, mutual gaze, even for a moment a moment, with the softest heart, where it, even if the end is to leave the outcome. With deep pain on the bone marrow are separated by thousands of miles, secretly miss the bar. In people, at all, in all things were more memorable than the meet and lose than be more eternal. Linshui door to the bar Sanzhao secluded blue light, subtle fragrance floating, slanting crosswise. We were the last one before the night is here, willing to home. I must be willing to leave you so that you do not want to stop the journey continues. Only this moment slip away from us, always remember each other's eyes, as if never elapsed time.
Postscript to come back a long time to finish this travel notes, only a limited record of the journey in bit by bit. For the way accompanied by a friend: WILLIAM.TINA.PEKKY. Hole. Zhang Di. TERACY.EONG, very grateful. Also grateful to the enthusiastic guide and his brother. TIGER. Thanks for the support my travel friends, as well as let me determined to go to Lijiang, the man.
Partners, I will always miss you!
