12 / 4 more than the first day on the 7:00 am departure from home, and I have no worries and anxious to set foot on the road, going to their dreams. Delays to flights for half an hour at the airport waiting for my quiet, listening to Faye Wong's CD, I feel free.
Contacted prior to departure on the Internet 3 Mix, 1 to 10 to get to Lijiang, one has to cancel the trip. There is a hair's KEVEN have first English MAIL Lijiang, CALL him, and that went to Lugu Lake, 5 pm to return to Lijiang, exhortations, I must not join the CYL in Kunming.
Two o'clock I was in Kunming airport, from here to transfer to Lijiang. This is the first time I TRAVEL ALONE, very much want someone to accompany. Playing around in the lounge look and found that a girl wearing a headscarf carrying luggage, and a person stepped forward to the replies, but it is Lijiang who does not seem to me accompany mean. Check later she actually sat next to me, we talk together. She Jiao A cold, a native of Lijiang people at Lijiang opened clothing store, her character, hearty, holy, in the Lijiang make a lot of friends around the current visit to Shenzhen to watch a friend's back, a lot of emotion, "or Lijiang side of the Pure Land is good, materialistic as in Shenzhen city, people do not have the pursuit, which makes his wife not a wife, lover not a lover.好想Lijiang, or sky blue here. "She who lives in town, we go to her house to eat dinner, Then I was sent to the Quartet Square Street Inn. Only later did I know, I really should thank her, and the four-party Inn is really convenient, good environment, the price is also reasonable.
At night to go clubbing, this is the characteristics of the ancient city of Lijiang. Yang Liu Yiyi a small river, full of wooden tables and chairs, various shapes of red lanterns and string together the bar street. In a small Paris, I know from Nanjing Wood, who was the Navy, once studied military academy in Qingdao, Wood considerably high, very talkative, good at making friends, and he introduced me to know Jane Eyre Ah Chi. Cafe on Jane Eyre and A-chi, I have had difficulties understanding the Internet, a meeting, it really was a handsome young man and enthusiasm for helping his girlfriend in Shanghai, talking about their love story, A-chi on the endless. A travel blog on the surrounding environment is very familiar with the various tourist routes, tourist attractions of each season, very familiar, we finally agreed on the 7th A blog to take the opportunity to take me to Jomtien, Tiger Leaping Gorge.
12 / 5, the first day of Lijiang, a city where I was patient, soul to the body have some discomfort, bronchitis tired, I can not work, he felt uneasy so I can not enjoy life. The city's noise, emissions, work competition, pressure, made me like a muddy ball, I can not relax, can not be relieved. I want to come to Lijiang, where I need to leisure, quiet, clean air needed to treat my body, purify my mind.
Slept until 9:30 am together. No task, no time for rules, lazy onto Square Street, casually picking a direction, listening to the sound of the water, on the one small bridge, a small restaurant to sit down at the bridge, to a noodle. Here enjoy the sun and enjoy the sound of the water and enjoy the early morning of Lijiang.
Walk along the river down the way small bridges, villages Mulou, fat golden girl in the window according to a daze, visitors crowded. On the large stone bridge and into an alley, street shop in Lijiang Baba Oil dip, and buy a sweet, it really is another fragrant crisp again. I can not help a bit worried about his appetite, a pot noodle is also an oil-Baba, how could you eat so much? Tube, he does come out to play is to crazy about, do not have rules from the last night I could not even sleep in the face no wash , which in normal life are not in mind.
End of the stomach to deal with, I took an online printing information, proceed to the eternal floor, said the high point here is the ancient city, overlooking the panoramic view of Lijiang. Walked slowly along and enjoy the ancient houses, shop silver, all kinds of ethnic characteristics of the shawls, hats, and the defilements.
On the road noticed a man, Cantonese appearance, more than 20-year-old appearance, is a human being to go to the eternal and floor, which is RAYMAND, he asked me to help him take photographs, and then we peer. RAYMAIND foreign investors to build shopping malls to do work, he very carefully, character, cheerful, and so a lot. He likes to take photographs, shoot from various angles and the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang panorama. He also special to bargain, down the road we bought a silver bracelet, really seen all of his haggling skills.
Back to Square Street, around 2:00. The sun is high, tan people lazy, there are elderly Naxi dance, this is my favorite. RAYMOND I joined the dance team, and soon follow in their footsteps. Start with hand dancing in the sun, that the taste of their music is really incomparable. A person holding a tape recorder to play music in front of a group of people behind the dancing arm in arm with him, just what kinds of movements. This is simple and rustic happiness, let me indulge, I suddenly understand what they need.
KEVEN come to the phone, we are to Xinyi Street, holding a telephone talk but not touch the surface, suddenly, he said, I is not seen you. I looked up, Kazakhstan, this is the KEVEN, full of people in Taiwan.
KEVEN 30 or so, melon head, a little less hair, wearing glasses, backpackers dress, a look that is the kind of people who pay attention to quality of life.
We can see that Jane Eyre Cafe Yulong Snow Mountain in the window to sit down, enjoy the present Arab-chi coffee mill. KEVEN complain about the disappointments with the mission, as he and RAYMOND talkative, good Taiwanese-style humor. 4 just know people talk of going to ride out the journey. KEVIN decide quickly on the 7th and the Arab-Chi with my peers. As for the wavering RAYMOND, because he had been asked around my profession, I said to him, if you do not Tiger Leaping Gorge, I will not tell you.
A blog to tell us the sun is still riding well, go to Black Dragon Pool play. We moved out of town, slide the bend, on the Black Dragon Pool. For the Black Dragon Pool in human history, we do not have to understand, but felt that an exception here, quiet and peaceful. Apart from Several Strains of the ginkgo tree upright in the sun to show off Olympus light golden body, other plants are all green. Surprisingly clear body of water, fish and aquatic plants are clearly visible, the fish are mostly black, should be the carp, we are discussing which one is more fat. Tanbian of the weeping willow, and occasionally standing trees at the water could not utter the name of the trees, they are lazy of basking in the sun, enjoying the blue sky white clouds. We are a casual stroll, casual chat, or whatever in an uncle side to sit down with him in a daze, to enjoy the fantastic leisure time.
There was a squirrel on the lawn, we found it, it also found us, apparently, is what the owner here for our wonder, does not looked down on, calmly continued the game. Here is also quite good as a squirrel, I said, do not go to work, good fun. He also work呀, KEVIN jokes that he wants to come out to us.
KEVIN pick up a work phone, said he suffered a loss of business, he asked us to allow him time to do a 30-minute sigh, mourning his loss. 15 minutes later, he has already talked and laughed RAYMOND discussions Cantonese and Chaozhou-Shantou any more. I felt the feeling of being physically and mentally Ju 1 dissipated, in this beautiful and peaceful Heilongtan afternoon, there is no pain can not be soothing.
The evening we returned to town, in the stone bridge, a small riverside restaurant for dinner, sea garden of plants is speculation, and good to eat, soy noodles is also good, fried rice, fragrant and sticky bowel. Surprisingly, at this time and refuse collection vehicles from across the river to open before, stood a very strange music, like the ancient drama scripts, but also as in the chanting scriptures. Hear the music, every house out of trash, which is absolutely characteristic of Lijiang. KEVIN laugh is really a BBQ Aroma呀.
December 6, the second day of Lijiang
KEVEN, and RAYMOND are related missions to the Yulong Snow Mountain, I listened to the advice on the Arab-Chi River Lashihai beam, which is a wonderful day.
Beam River, a little country town like Chongqing. A small city, the village in front of farmland, the river flows from the farm gate, entered the room must be walking bridge. Comparing Old Town of Lijiang, there should be smaller, but more primitive and more ancient, where the village is the original farmers, not like Lijiang, are already wearing national costumes businessmen had. In the pure land of walking, I feel that he is a filthy individual, but the polluted air mass at the beginning of the dissolution of, yes, that's what I want to come to a place, pure sky and the land, I want to come here, "Data-ching empty "and remove the body of toxins, so that" system initialization. "
Here, the sky blue, clear water, land, crops, the villagers are the same purity. I have a feeling of cry, as to the same home. Small and the driver took me to the Beam River, because of poor money he was two, so I went to pick him at noon Lashihai. This is a Naxi Ren, 19-year-old. Looks a little like Kim Sung-wu, tall handsome. Some shy laugh. He pulled me from the Beam River Lashihai. Along the same purity of the sky, full of tall trees, golden sky breathtaking Highland wide.
Lashihai the sky is free, absolutely free, many places do not see people, no buildings, small wooden boat containing I swim Haizi master. The 21-year-old Naxi young people the purity of a pair of deep eyes, like Lashihai the river, canoeing enter Haizi, enter the sky, white clouds in the sky, wandering, in the distant mountains to leave the shadows of the sun from the clouds in the diarrhea , and the clouds together in the hills painted with patterns of light and shadows. I felt real freedom, in this tranquil world of the Zhuoqi me melt, and released into the atmosphere of the. I was pure assimilation, but also began to become pure, I have to return to the embrace of nature, returned to his mother's arms.
Horse riding, this thought had been riding fixed, because in recent years in the city, I can no longer be riding. But now I am cured. A pair of white ponies, very beautiful, wooden master that they are twins. He rode one in front leading the way, I rode along with a run, I asked for wooden master control of speed. The outset, we trotted on horseback Britain呀jolt, as if the body and shake off the residual Zhuoqi have been down. I ran up riding horses, the wind whistles, the horse ran up a more stable, thrilled Yes, I have a whole body of vitality, in the seaside city of La grass, I felt I can almost fly.
I call on the small and master in Lashihai lunch, eating sea grass and fish, fish is very tasty, a little show tonight, is Naxi flavor.
Back to the town when the 4:00 bell, KEVIN has come. Morning in-beam river I have received his message: with the mission好惨呀! He wanted drained away after a two-day trip to Jomtien, as we go to Tiger Leaping Gorge. This was so that he suffered economic loss, "but," he said, "I really can not stand wearing a suit with a group of leather shoes, tie together the Golden Jade Dragon Snow Mountain." This is KEVIN and the Mainland, the difference in taste.
Night we in Afghanistan, where Hunfan Chi Chi, A Chi personally do fish. Inside added Thelephora, very fragrant, with Lashihai not like the taste. RAYMOND living in a friend's house, come after dinner. He finally decided to join us in the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Tiger Leaping Gorge, December 7
7:30, Ah-chi took us to his base and Lijiang Baba taste of buttered tea, buttered tea are in fact the ancient town of lard, the so-called hot pot of yak is not true, Akan said, how can there be so many yak meat to you eat呀. The yak butter tea because of the additional peanut and sesame noodles, it is particularly fragrant.
We package the cabs to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, channels Lashihai Yangtze first bend, to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, played later, the car to open a road to the mountain white face - WOODY, WOODY is a restaurant, we had lunch there, the chicken tastes well, the boss made it by herself. They have two books of notes wroten by the travelers, they express their feeling about their travel, or their life in it.
It's the beginning of the middle tiger leaping gorge. We should across the middle tiger leaping gorge by hike.
Because I rid horse yesterday. So it's hard for me to rise my leg.
We must down to the bottom, then walk down along the Jiang Liu, and some valleys make life difficult, it's also the mountains, all the way up and down this way. This is the source of the Yangtze River, steep terrain, flow Chuanji. Road repairs have not been, but also dangerous steep again. Here is the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the way a lot of stumbling block along the fees, they add some dangerous sections of wood, or plug in the iron bar, pull on the wire. And then observe where to receive a 5 10.
RAYMOND looks Dalie Lie, and in fact very carefully for fear that I fell into the cliff, he often behind me pulling back after my hat. KEVIN carrying a huge bag with a lot of mysterious things (including my camera charger), when we feel that what is required, he can always change out of magic. A blog I do find the root bamboo cane, everyone said that, as Dagou Bang, Bang Zhu from the places I have boarded. They take me Kaishuan way, at every turn on the "Bang Zhu orders ... ... ... ...."
Tiger jumped into stone, there is a pavilion, we sit on a break. There are "first flushing the Yangtze River," because the toilet facing the source of the Yangtze River to see the river roaring down. There are two large pavilion notebook, each of us write down the mood at this time. I very much regret was not photographed KEVIN and RAYMOND handwriting, just remember that I wrote it myself: the careless time, occasional wonderful companion, embark on a happy trip. Everything Xpress, do not need to, keeping with the nature.
4 hours later, we finally jumped over the tiger jumping, white-faced mountains to reach the other side, was admitted to another WOODY.
I asked A-chi, why is it called Woody, he said that because of the Yulong Snow Mountain Bar, can see her a white face. But our immediate steep mountain high, a good pen width, like Block, as a dense mass of block barrier before him, should be called the Mountain Masked.
Mountains, a good calm night Haohei, RAYMOND sigh will be returned to the Red Dust. KEVIN pull out of a playing card from the bag, the strange thing is we have four individuals less likely to play the game the error to me and KEVIN under the guidance of (mainly me), we really put the game Gong Zhu and upgrade confusion together, playing to 10 points. This is the Bang Zhu Guo, Wurenzaidi. In this I apologize.
December 9, back to Lijiang sleep woke up on the up, has an 8 o'clock. But the way around the room no one, apart from KEVIN. I like the mountains in the morning, fresh air, quiet sounds are not even the chickens. And KEVIN walk along the road together, where the residential regarded large strings of peppers and corn hanging from the eaves. A Mid-slope side of the road, there is an old house, it seems to be old than the others and there characteristics, the water in front of an uncle, his dark face looked healthy and good. I very much drink, then go along the path to go, I and my uncle greeted his son opened the door, asked me to go in, look back, KEVIN is still on the road, there is no meaning to be up. Crossed the threshold of high-Banchi, I am into the living room of his house.
The middle of the living room a fire burning on the ground, hanging above a big kettle is boil water, sitting around the fire, three children, a woman, they drink buttered tea. Next to a pot of steamed bread. Grandpa's son is a black-faced fellow, looked a bit like a foreigner, I was invited to sit beside the fire, enjoy authentic butter tea. KEVIN is also entered. We share a hot steamed bun.
In fact, yak milk butter is done, that is, yak CHEESE, these shortenings are Tibetans do, brought to the local people for food. Grandpa was a tribe Mo Su. , Surnamed Li, the black guy while chatting while we rushed into a pot of butter tea Youji. This butter tea incense and ah, more than Lijiang is also fragrant with peanut sesame seeds. Sat by the fire while feeling the warm, fire reflected in the everybody's face, there is light and shadow dancing hop to. Masked guy faint of saying, the woman is his sister, his little sister go to school in Kunming, relying on his support. Originally did not want her to go this year, but she was sneaking off, he had to send money to her. He ferry over there selling drinks, and sometimes to the guests as our guide, earn some money, he built a following among horse Shangri-La style roadside restaurant, guests are now limited, there is no business.
From out of his house, I went to see that the road watching the Shangri-La style restaurant, a simple house, I KEVIN said that he was not as good as the Mid-levels on the slope that make a style dining room and sell the Lunar month of buttered tea, snacks , the business can also better. Good KEVIN agree with me, and quickly ran up to tell him.
KEVIN later told me that in the Lunar drink butter tea, he found a heart felt Shangri-La.
9:00, A-chi looking for a car to carry us to the ferry, we parted to go his own Yaogen Jomtien. I think today should be an easy journey. A Chi said: to the ferry boat, crossing the river ride to the big tools, sub-bus to Maoniuping. The fact that as far as we imagine, the original crossing is not a trot a few steps you can to the same as in Tiger Leaping Gorge, to go another zigzag steep, slippery mountain, has been down to the bottom, fast an hour, we reach the ferry, the boat waiting for us at the other side, we use "Qianlizhuanyin" greeted the public boat over. RAYMOND haggling skills to play again, so that low cost public boat set out in the valley where we turn full circle. In fact, here is the next Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tiger jumped in the river stone.
Boatmen said, took 1,300 meters of the mountain to the summit is a highway, this 1300 meters of mountain好难Run!, We have repeated the high leg lift movements, fast 12:00, and before Padaoshanding.
Eaten with rice noodle in large, 2:00 minutes, we were little big a departure from the public to prepare, and then a little bread come rolling in, the car sat a girl with dark glasses, short hair, casual wear, cool , and with a lot of luggage. Tiger Leaping Gorge from which she should be chartered them there. This is the COOKIE, a korea girl. COOKIE Yishang Ju, immediately received a warm welcome from RAYMOND and KEVIN two people rushed out Yingshang Qu, drills starting in English, you speak, I am a language, so wait on, served tea or backward in water to the.
The way I chat with the driver and the master, he advised me not to go to Maoniuping a time too late to return to Lijiang has not. "MAONIUPING is to see on the Yulong Snow Mountain, the way I am able to refer you see Yulong 13 peaks, as well as Kazakhstan and bar snow-capped mountains, more than Maoniuping on the fine." And the master will keep its promise, one hour later, in a small hill next to the stop "along the trail and it's Natiao see." "go, go, let's go" I greet you follow me, three Leng Leng's with me out of the car two minutes later, the sudden turn of events , Yulong 13 peaks presented to us. The background of blue sky under the sun peaks like Jade Dragon 13 distant dream in general to extend continuous. The right side of powerful and erect, is Haba Snow Mountain. COOKIE gave us three photos of the photo, the sun, we are vibrant, the same as the peak Yulong 13 side by side they stand proud, smiling proudly. This is a precious photos, retained me precious memories.
We do not have the Maoniuping, in the Metro and get off the bus stop, walk back to town. The journey is really getting better, the final moment, is the most enjoyable. We strolled along, RAYMOND, and KEVIN are two GENTLEMEN, they helped me and COOKIE carrying luggage, we stopped in front of a Shop. Suannai, buy butter, the owner gave us each a cup of instant impulse of buttered tea, with a small paper cups to drink, small paper cups broke very quickly, and I actually do not accidentally repeated three times in the clothes and sprinkle buttered tea bag, everyone with a smile smear test for me. Like to take care of a child. "I am showing for you." I said. COOKIE asked us: how many years do you know? We laughed, "you should say: how many hours do we know." Haha ...
COOKIE also lived to the four inns, share a room with me, KEVIN lived next door to us. COOKIE is an unusual girl, she was still in college, but it is the 10th travel alone to china. This is my last line of this Lijiang time, tomorrow morning I will fly to Kunming, and I recall with nostalgia everything here , who recall with nostalgia my traveling companion.
We went to A-chi introduced authentic hot pot of yak, Ah-chi to 9:00 in order to come back. Finally taxi drivers know the place, 6 dollars, what materials we have come to a city, find the pot of yak town. This is definitely a local to find a place. Market's yak meat, beef tendon, fragrant bottom of the pot, a wide range of vegetables. Do not drink, but we all a bit drunk, English plus Chinese language Naoteng up from korea was referred to tibet, is Bangzhu is the youngest son's scream aloud, and in hindsight a little crazy the last mean.
A chi back, we returned to Jane Eyre Cafe, where a final farewell, RAYMOND, and KEVIN there is one day in Lijiang, tomorrow they have to go with, and COOKIE Beam River and Lashihai. My journey has ended. Tomorrow I will return to Qingdao, back to real life, where I have to prop up one of my sky. And here, I was birds, you can easily find branches and singing, I do not need to pay attention what the image of the behavior, but everyone likes me, I like you. KEVIN later said the same as I do not know my hometown where I think I should travel on the road.
