Mosuo people reading a lot of books Lugu Lake album, also read the relevant information online, how to say where the beautiful charming scenery, customs, how the primitive simplicity. I was deeply attracted to the description of these moving, decided to take a trip there.
After 6 hours with the winding mountain road swing countless ups and downs, finally arrived at 3 pm more than the first leg of my trip, the lake shore south-west of the village fell into the water. The driver is very warm for insisting on arranging the village I live in an inn opened Mosuo people, which is wood-structure buildings, advanced Simmons mattresses, TV, independent bathroom, 24-hour hot water, all very modern, of course, room prices are not low.
To lay down their luggage outside walk around Lake of the earth and rock about 10 meters wide road is the only tourist village road, it sightseeing, tranquil lake wide on you now, it roads, large and small, a wide range of Occasionally your car around whistle volume dust off. Another road next to a slide open to make all-all-wood structure buildings, as many as 34 small two-layer, a layer of temporary road for shops, upstairs to the inn, the case of every family. Those who shop the same as the ancient city of Lijiang, are hawking some of the so-called ethnic handicrafts, medicine and so on.
"Uncle, buy apples it." A 10-year-old little girl carrying a small bag of apples a few of my Lan Zhao avenue, and she put them in front of me holding a bag of skull-bone, I opened a bag of them a look, 78 dry covered with a small wormhole apple, asking about the price, five dollars a bag, and I'm worried about this little girl's business. "Buy it, uncle, you do not have money to buy my apple I read." Yes, she was my age in the fourth grade, and "Do you go to school yet?" She shook her head, "you are Mosuo people?" She nodded, "I might purchase large amounts of apples, no money to study." mention Apple is still holding the little hands, pair of eyes full of pity still looking forward to watching me.
I put little girl in the hands of Apple's money, all in the hope that she can go to school as soon as possible.
Apple's move forward, carrying her far, see the on-street shop, a bar in front of them the look like a huge bust of the Mosuo woman, I am curious to watch the ground, flat face radius slightly, although a Mosuo attire, they are a typical Chuanmei Zi Mo Yang, is also a huge photo next to the woodcut, a letter to the woman was originally a high-level white-collar workers in Guangzhou Beauty because ... reason and settle here and raise a family in love with the local guy. Moving story of magic, after reading turned to leave, a woman was fleet Lake tease a child to play, she did not is that a large photo of the "Guangzhou" Women Mody, here and now Crackdown hometown people, I am pleased with the Guangzhou dialect before the ground and her greeting, a 2, and she seemed to hear nothing, then she knew it was to speak to her, looked up at me, I continue to use Cantonese and greet her, and she Daileyixia, and then quickly pick up the child and the haste去.
How she啦, I am a bit puzzled a moment.
This woman was a bit strange, since the door in their own widely advertised claim that he is from Guangzhou, why must they fear to avoid Guangzhou people?
I just do not understand, walk thought, came to the lake an open manner. Here is the terminal lake village, 10 more than a small wooden boat (also known as Zhu Caochuan) neatly parked on the lake, with waves of the lake ups and downs. Pier and paved with concrete, flat to oblique lake, slowly submerged. More than 10 Mosuo men and women dressed in brightly colored costumes, 351 scattered around the pile to chat lightly joking lake at two small wooden boat carrying tourists to the pier under the pretext of the setting sun is zoned to.
Boating lake and horse riding tourism is a major recreational projects here, and what the charges are clearly-written on the boards at a glance. There are no cries of pursuit pull tourists, there is no sound argument for bargaining, and only tourists laughing sound, people feel here is the development of sophisticated specification tourist area.
Night, made a dream girlfriend and I walk in the night streets of Guangzhou. Suddenly, selling apples during the day that little girl holding a bundle of flowers is not new avenue Lan Zhao, "buy flowers it, you do not buy me flowers, I have no money to study." My girlfriend's hand holding left-right sudden impulse trying to escape, and that was a little girl sat on the floor clinging to my legs, staring at me: "buy me flowers, and I had no money to school!" I do not know what to do for a time, fortunately just a Dream.
Lugu Lake's tourism development was originally the village fell into the water, then residents in the village.
Residents in the village only 20 families, from the entrance to the village look at the past, where as the village fell into the water, like a slip of wood and build houses along the lake, but the scale is not so large, we have only two. The difference is that with the village fell into the water, where the scenery a little curve of the United States, the village in a parabola-shaped bend in a small lake. The end of the village, a small hill stretching from the lake, like a boat floating in the azure surface of the lake, which is where Georgia Island. Said the non-rainy season, the river rises, there are trails to walk past, it is also known as Rigby Peninsula.
Down to the village, I lived through Cuntou of an Inn down. Shop owner was a young man about 30 years old, from Inner Mongolia, known as "rank order." A person must be frank and cheerful, and we talk about wine late into the night. Chat rooms and sequential told me that the village had long lived a Tashi home network name "dentists" in Guangzhou, he was once a village medical consultation what Rigby. Inquire about this person is still busy, I do, "has gone out of here to Tibet." "Why did he live so long, why leave?" "You go to the island ask Tashi it." Sequential sip of wine. Guangzhou is also a self-styled people live here for a long time, there is what is attractive to people to give up the modern city, to this relative isolation, poverty and backwardness of the remote mountain life? This caused me to stay a few days on this idea.
Since then, every day Rishangsangan before I get up from bed.
An appointment with a few friends last night and this morning, along with tourists by boat to the lake on the island to play and sequential boating recruited villagers to help us, the price for us to talk about with them. From the inside grid to the lake island of several 10 round trip per person money, we feel that is too expensive, then bargaining with them politely. They are dissatisfied with our counter-offer, but do not want to lose this good business, so we have several times higher than the volume of the quarrel with us together. We are among an angry girl on the spot to propose abolition of the original plan, and said, "We came to this tourism is happy to come, not come under the gas!" My partner's voice, calm down a moment, but then they are one of the slightly older big women in unhurried, said: "Well, we have a money, not to draw your past." This time we gave petrified, and you think it is also an urgent desire to have money to people who suddenly said that sub - MAN No, we are now planning to put 23 kilometers outside the home with no signs of human habitation of the island, can we not afraid to do. A result, we abandon the original plan, we broke up.
Can not go to lake island, I am reminded of Rigby Tashi Peninsula home, so as the number of visitors to the Tashi home. Then Tashi family also came to the courtyard just a few tourists, a thin and very enthusiastic young people of Mosul to you pouring water delivery, the person claiming to Tashi. After being greeted, Tashi, and we are talking to. He began by saying: come to his home people are admiring friends. Repeatedly stressed to us he only cares about friends, do not care about the money, No amount of money it is. Oh, what a pleasant words, think of those hypocrites in the city often talked about the mouth of the mantra, it has also so easy to hang on, I always thought the good locals simple thick lips. Nafu to see him speak very serious earnestness look like, feel this person is not simple. I would like to read on to see what else he performed.
Then listen to him that he was the last successor of caravans. A little more learned insights of the people know that today's caravans remain as the main means of transportation, shuttling through the Yunnan-Tibet triangular mountain, and "inheritance" This word is also used real arrogant ignorance. He also said he figures every month to lead what travelers on foot to Sichuan Inagi Aden. As far as I know, this hiking route in a good season, but also back and forth as fast as 10 days, if not to mention the winter when the rainy season. This year, he was the number of days in the lake house? But then he replied tourist said, when he was in the Lugu Lake, at any time at home can find him. Is he really so forgetful, until a few minutes ago to say as soon forget? Over and over again, he said, there are many TV stations want to interview him, but he did not (not accepted). Yes but posturing could wish for it, to speak Zhengou level.
Speech nearly an hour, in addition to how we publicize his cattle, how rods, is accused of the village was home in what the Inn is open from outside, but also misappropriation of his name grab his business, but also that home is a rental, Shanxi girl His family opened an old house inn, and how he would fight the guests; known only to his home village is the inn opened only Mosuo people. But I still fell into the water village, when a rough understanding of residents in the village had no fewer than 56 Mosuo people opened the inn, including the island Lack house (that is, Lack Hotel Tashi later knew it was his wife's sister, he was also her home country). In fact, he remark the implication is that, in order to feel the Moso people's lives, only to live his home. However, I have seen him here, an ordinary brick house instead of the traditional Muleng Fang, as a non-staining Mosuo the most sacred of the fireplace, not only failed to firewood cold, and there are many cigarette butts melon seeds shell-like tissue garbage on the inside ... .... I really do not understand, since the strongly advertised himself as the most traditional Mosuo people, but why not keep Mosuo people their most basic things, but random damage! A person must be very confident eloquent flight, in front of the masses of tourists in his eyes seems to have become a small primary school.
During his speech, I noticed that although his voice is loud, but the eyes Fimbristylis.
I felt he was virtual.
For this I am discouraged to learn that he had long lived in the "Guangzhou dentists" of the.
Tashi said, Shanxi night inn woman opened the Internet, in the version of a well-known tourist site in April this year to read a post, said that the quote was a period of tourists in Rigby directed by Tashi propaganda for his quote of , the content is the claim that only Tashi home residents in the village's only inn opened Mosuo people. This post was soon hit by this, Shanxi Women's barge, and face to face criticism of Tashi should not be used in order to earn some money so despicable means, for Tashi was once very angry.
I am very strong for the integrity of Shanxi woman worried about the prospects of living here is willing to Heaven bless her Fengxionghuaji, so good.
The past few days I start from the residents in the village, along the lake has to Nicet Village, a small village, fell into the water and in-depth Yongning Township, Hot Springs Village. Lugu Lake landscape feel is best from the inside grid to a small lake off the water line Mosuo people, while the cultural scene, it is proposed to look at the hot springs, take the opportunity of high quality hot springs bubble. Yongning way to the spa town to the temple to see Mosuo people tie America's largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, if you are lucky, but also with the Mosuo people living Buddha see side photo shots trace of Buddha.
Second trip to Lugu Lake, scored a major victory. In the same time enjoying the beauty here, but also deeply impressed with the tourism development of modern society's worship of money has been all-pervasive supremacy of money everywhere, it stains a lot of people's soul. As the lake here, the original no education foundation, it will only self-sufficient place, suddenly faced a large number of visitors coming in possession of them individual "smart" head due to ignorance of the original and fearless, and thus for their own behavior and the consequences of a more ridiculous. I have no objection to raise living standards and norms for honest business practices, but for those arrogant, look under the pretext of "simple" and it actually made the simplicity and low price of goods sold frog in a well, feel sorrow and shame.
But also to tell you that greed and treachery that the twins are not the exclusive product of the city, when the twins dressed in "simple" look after the grown in remote mountain nest, it's varying degrees of damage and its consequences great unthinkable.
The beautiful Lugu Lake ah --
I hope you keep the rich tourism development, but will never change your original truth, goodness and beauty.
