September 25, 2003 Mingyong going to watch the morning sunshine Jinshan, did not think a lot of very thick clouds the sky, the Meili Snow Mountain are hooded, and sunrise are also in general. Eating chicken soup noodles, we hit the road.
10:00 to Mingyong wife and that woman in Wuhan that Shanghai women are riding together up the mountains.
In a rented horse, and we see an immense and very fat white pig. This is rare, side to see the pigs are almost always black. Told it is because the Tibetan people prefer the black. Listen to groom said that the first white pigs are imported from the other side Oh, Han. It stands at the middle of a quagmire, and then punched a roll inside, which makes half of the body are dark and. Really can not stand pigs.
His wife rode a mule, not horses. Mule than in his horse a little lazy. Along the way the roadside streams always stop to go drinking, it is always facing the other horse-drawn toilet smell ah Oh, very disgusting look. In particular, it timid, on the road once hit a yak, mule, we came to the edge of Hill, but also energetically to rub out, almost falling Mashiqianti go, scared to death. By the way, then listen to that Shanghai girls said that her groom told her that on the previous day, visitors can throw a horse down hill, and very scared to say.
The few of us walk up the hill. On the plateau is indeed to be tired a lot of walking. On the road met some old Tibetan is also climbing, there is an already 75 years old. Met a few Tibetans, saying that both come from the Sichuan-Cang, there are more than 700 kilometers. Meili Snow Mountain, this year is the Benming years, and today is the birthday of Meili Snow Mountain, and his birthday should be only once every sixty years, so they must come here today. The observation deck at the glacier we also see a "Bingbeng" are spectacular, the Tibetans say that today is a good life, so we can see. We are then on to the Lotus Temple, alas, there are not too many things.
Originally intended to riding down the mountain because the mountain, said the price of 63 riding up the mountain, 83 back and forth. But the groom, said that the temple from the Prince to the Lotus Temple, also add 25, and we feel very unhappy, because they did not say that only now, so we decided to go down the mountain.
My wife hit the road head of the branch, actually began to cry. Then, he walked with me lose my temper, is estimated to go tired of it, in a bad mood. When I did not bring water bottles into the mountains, his wife also gave her the bottle of the Tibetan people to drink Qian Ma. Along the way I have to drink from a spring. Along the way hungry and thirsty, especially down the mountain when I walk in hungry faster. Back to the car had been almost 2 points, they must eat something I feel we go a little bit, almost sick again. Deqin we ate, then continued on our way to about 10 pm before returning to Zhongdian. On the road we encountered the police identity card, Oh, Oh, here check real strict.
Xiang Yuan lived in the hotel at night, tomorrow we go to Bita Lake. Including our two, Wuhan 2, Shanghai and women there is a wait until today to contact a guy on the Nanning.
September 26, 2003 Tour Bita get up early and go get a bus station and bought tickets the next day to Inagi. Re-chartered in the next to go Bita Lake. Wuhan, due to the two bought a ticket to the 16:00 Lijiang, so we still have another four were chartered to go with them.
We are from the west line into the Bita Lake, the one-to-door to see many, many horses, but do not see any tourists. Some people want us to ride up immediately. Had intended to rent a horse for rent two girls, but they refused the money, according to a horse is really trouble-making people. So, we do not rent horses, drive a go himself. West line access, scenery is better, but there 7KM way to reach Hai Zi. Away for a while, that Tibetans holding two horses to keep up to the hope that we ride. Finally trouble, however, and they are a bit tired, according to Tibetans said, rented two horses, four casual riding. To listen to groom that their daily rounds of some of the horses, if today there is no business, would have to wait next time, so come in soliciting Yao Gen.
The scenery along pretty good, are primary forests, tall pine tree, covered with trees hanging, Tibetans say that dry pine leaves, take a look at the really quite like. Walked, suddenly cheerful in front of them, a large meadow in front of the plateau, many of yak grazing leisurely in the above. The color is very rich meadows, blue flowers, red small shrubs, very beautiful, I heard that if in May, when the color will be even more beautiful. Seen holding a Tibetan Yak to walk in the meadow, suddenly people have been delegated to the local cattle. Tibetans get up, straining pull rope cattle managed to fall upon the cattle, to see us, but also embarrassed smile. Later, a long way is to take the middle of the Plank Road Meadow walking street cattle, horses, and even pigs walked up and down, a beautiful and relaxing sight.
After an arduous journey, and finally, we have seen the beautiful Haizi, which is the Bita Lake. Bita Lake, in the Tibetan language is a place oak tree into the mat, he is surrounded by mountains, the lake is a grasslands, Oh, say marshes may be more appropriate. Shore, water's edge color-rich, water is very clear, reflects a quiet, cozy scene, feeling very good. We walk along the lake the case for a while, and in the lake on the lake to eat hard tack, good US-ah.
And then to Bita Bita Lake charter across the southern line.
When the boat to see a meadow, said this is "colored meadow" Unfortunately it is not May, but only one green.
Here is the Bita Lake scenic area a major tourist destination, because it a good winger to go, but also much shorter. Of course, the scenery here is worse than some of the western front, and not too many features. But the way things Tingyou features surprisingly good: the road there are several squirrels feeding point, although no where to see squirrels, but a lot along the way have seen cases; there is a very unique stool is in the middle of two trees put a stump, and then nail a wooden stick as a back. From the lake to the exit of the parking lot all the way uphill, is sub-stakes fight together, and take up a lot of trouble, but also the way, is not easy. Here a relatively high altitude, about more than 3700 meters, it is relatively difficult uphill, then two guys to go for a while on the walk, said that Nanning guy put a stool to sit through every really bad. On the road met a group of yaks across the Plank Road, they moo cried, pound, pound, of the ran, plus a huge figure, very imposing. In particular, niuhou time, scared that we dare not shrink on one side and a dynamic move for fear of infuriating the cattle, rushing to us. My wife and I carrying a red bag, that Shanghai women dressed in red pants, Hehe.
Out the door, is a big platform, views are very good, this is the biggest highlight of the South line of bar. Here are a sign that read 3775 meters above sea level, it should be the highest point of the Bita Lake.
Way back to the road than the much longer, but the driver was very talkative, but added there is no deserted. In Zhongdian street, there are many, many of the high vertical wooden shelves, some put barley, and some put potatoes, radishes and so on. Driver said, listening to an officer by his car, said the United States a few years ago from the satellite photos found on these things, saying that China's laid out so many missiles are used against India. He also said that the original small, Bita few very few people go, that time in the lake screaming, days quickly become overcast, rain. According to the old people say that the previous days when the drought will take to the lake by the patriarch rain. From the Bita Lake is not a good way out, the driver said that this road is "World Bo Road," saying that this road was revised that year, the World Expo in Yunnan, the road quality is very poor, with the asphalt is very thin, so The local people call this road is the "World thin road" is "the world's thinnest asphalt" means.
