My Shangri-La
Shangri-La is not a specific geographical concept, but the consciousness of each person the most mysterious and most noble position.
With such an understanding, I came to the beautiful Old Town of Lijiang. Small bridges people, is the most direct Lijiang give me the impression, I naturally think of Jiangnan town. A long string hanging in the four streets of the red tea lanterns, a clusters of flowers in full bloom along the stream, a unique Tibetan handicraft shops, Old Town of Lijiang ubiquitous display of its deep cultural heritage, while no shortage of refined, romantic and warm feeling. Decorated a little bit everywhere into a modern bar, sitting in the middle of the courtyard light and shade trees and enjoy the ancient city of fresh air and natural sunlight, listening to a French guests bring their own music, feeling an afternoon to share the sentiments.
As the timing relationship, we do not have to listen to, chaired by Mr. Xuan Ke Naxi ancient music, is this journey, one of the few regrets. The next morning ready to go to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, we encountered the morning walk out of Mr. Xuan Ke. 72-year-old gentleman seemed a very good spirit, when know that we will have to walk when the tiger jumped, enthusiasm and our conversation. Old gentleman told us that when he was young like mountain climbing, but also tells us that climbing a mountain, what time to pay attention. , Mr. Xuan Ke in life is very approachable, friendly conversation from time to time to show humor and wisdom, people deeply feel the charm of this legendary figure, we are fortunate enough to leave time to see the ancient city of Lijiang, another Road landscape, but also in the old gentleman's the sound of blessing, we have embarked on a journey to the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
We jumped on the tiger made a brief stay, left to go in the Gorge Highway. The Jinsha River in the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain slowly flowing between, we follow the river, and accompanied by the beautiful Jade Dragon Snow Mountain walking in the mountain road. This is my first attempt at walking the field, to appear in all the matters before them feel so fresh, in the hands of the camera is not stop himself, in clusters along a quiet mountain road, with the wild flowers bloom, a backyard mid-and long with tall walnut trees of the mountain, a low wall with stones piled up, and the low wall the whole piece, after that whole golden corn, the one descending from the sky falls, and make me feel excited. Looking back at the two mountains overlooking the Jinsha River flowing in the afternoon sun hit the river level, a layer of golden halo thrown surprise, as is the solidification of the general.
"Raining" do not know who shouted. Really, the sun still overhead, but the rain has come. Start the next rain is not too large, people do not peer with rain gear, we protect the camera, in the light rain continued on our way, and even some glad mountain rain brought us a little cool. The rain began to Vietnam under the larger, we were surprised to find that the rain turned into hail started, although the ice is very small branches, but enough for us to stop and had to find some shelter from the rain of rocks.
Swords continued for 5 minute or so, hiding under the rock shelter from the rain, I feel only fresh and curious. On the clouds overhead gradually dissipated, the sun and from mountain shed, we suddenly appeared in front of two beautiful rainbow. In the majestic backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a small two freshman in the hillside across the rainbow, the ethereal ethereal, mysterious and extreme display of the enchanting charm. Has never been so close and intimate contact with rainbow, as if you can look at your fingertips, nature for the first time I had a beautiful eyebrows. Accompanied by a few girls even more exciting washed in the rain, to face the Rainbow promised their wish. In such a beautiful nature kept the wish, I think they must be realized.
We walked from the tiger jumped TINA'S, and from TINA'S Tiger Leaping Gorge, walk into the valley, where the feeling of jumping tiger stone in the river Koho protruding Yiran only use the bold, and the mighty Fighting Jiangliu when compared with the rock hill H Gu Ming's extraordinary momentum. When we came to the time baishuitai almost time for sunset. The two-day journey on foot so that we tired, when we do not climb high baishuitai of the time, there had quickly tired Bu Xingle.
Baishuitai the overall shape is similar to the terrace which we are familiar, from layers of rock formations, rock surface is milky white, a thin layer of clean river water slowly flow down along the rocks, sunlight, as if she threw a 1 crystal clear coat, very textured, well looked like the Valley is inadvertently left lying on the mountains between a large white marble stone, people amazed. Baishuitai under the sunset afterglow of that from the moment we reach the top Let us realize how we have done is worthwhile. Scattered in the Peak there are some irregular pond, shallow pool of water clear bottomed out, the impact of water due to minerals that look very deep blue color, like a large piece of natural crystal without defects, reflection in the water floating in the blue sky and white clouds, a little was the setting sun illuminate the reddish flush, but also adds a lot of Fung Choi. The finishing touch is that some poplar, patchwork growth in the Peak on the pond. Autumn leaves had already decorated with a layer of pale golden yellow, sunset, under the shine of the leaves is more like a transparent, like emitting a golden light. This is a need to appreciate the beauty of breath, because you will feel your breath will destroy the quiet here, is a sin.
And the exquisite beauty of baishuitai comparison is all the beautiful lake it is very luxurious. Turning flowing streams, mountains and the Autumn is pleasant, four of the yaks and horses can be seen, casually wandering in the meadows, it was a lake used to greet us all a prelude. Walk 10 minutes to come to belong to both lake in front of a breathtaking beauty of intake you have to lament the magic of nature, good fortune. The blue is a plateau lake be so thorough, but also placid, like a set in the sapphire surrounded by mountains. Lake reflected upside out of the same blue sky, white clouds in the light elegant, and seems to exist for the reflection of mountain autumn, they seem so profound humility amiable. The trees around the lake are all grown very chic, and some directly to the growth of the shallow water in the lake, there are some litter in the trunk, inserted at random in the reflected in the lake, high and low scattered, it also seemed so natural and just right, it like a bunch of notes on a stave, a gentle breeze, the sound of rustling leaves issue, perhaps it is the nature wonderful harmony in performance bar.
Leaving an all lakes, the weather began to become overcast, and even it started to rain just when we should worry about the weather a few days later when the leader of the "tiger" has brought us good news Songzanlinsi hundred years to be held in "reincarnated soul boy" enthronement ceremony. So we are still falling despite the rain the sky, one early in the morning rush as "Little Potala Palace," said Songzanlinsi.
Songzanlinsi can go all the way to see the pious Tibetans burned rosin on the roadside to greet the arrival of Little Buddha, overlooking Songzanlinsi can even see the whole temple Xiang Wu Shou-time arrival is more to see Songzanlinsi a number of devout Tibetans and lamas in the temple early in on both sides of the road lined up waiting. With a strong curiosity, we, along with the Tibetan people are waiting in the rain for nearly two hours, and finally wait for the "soul boy" of the team and cavalry. Tibetans who had waited a long time have crowded into the "soul boy" in front of the vehicle presented their hada, but is still confused with our natural appearance Little Buddha did not see, so we went with the flow Songzanlinsi on the roof, waiting for will be here to attend the enthronement ceremony of the Little Buddha.
Wait a long time they are not boring, because it is a big celebration of the Tibetan people, almost since coming to the Tibetan people the best, but usually not easy to see the temple's monks have also appeared, so we started to use their own the camera to capture them for us, is so fresh and curious matters, but also busy enjoying themselves. Tibetans are very devout, and honest, but where to find a station location and quietly wait. When the two dressed in traditional Tibetan costumes beautiful Tibetan girls in front of us, we are polite to invite them to a photo, but they shyly away. Nevertheless, they naturally beautiful, and without any sophisticated shy, but as I have in mind the impression of a beautiful Tibetan girl, has become in my mind, a beautiful scenery of Shangri-La.
Then, after nearly two hours, Little Buddha, finally Zhong Lama's appearance in the Qianhuhouyong. The few of us occupies an excellent position at a height, it was finally clear to see the Little Buddha, look. Little Buddha by holding a large Lama, monks dressed in traditional robes, gown is also very delicate embroidered mascot of Tibetan Buddhism. Little Buddha, it is very clean and agile, it is also evident with a somewhat childlike children. Tibetans have been competing around the Little Buddha, look to see the scene a bit chaotic, but it is also crowded.
May be a small Buddha has taught us good luck, the rain gradually stopped, and when our car out of Zhongdian, Deqin bound when the weather is very clear of.
From Zhongdian to Deqin wants to open a six-hour car journey a few days let us drowsy in the car, while the scenery outside the window was not appropriate at this time can not resist the temptation to show its strength, but unfortunately we only have a to resist their own sleep is quite hard. Fortunately, there is a hard return, took a dramatic turn when the afternoon sun the whole mountainside fir forests of photos into a transparent golden yellow, when the neat terraces and villages, such as fairy-tale-like world on display in front of us, when the roads appear Yue Lai The more Mani Dui and streamer tower, when Bai Mang Snow Mountain leisurely and elegant in front of us will always be attracted to our unparalleled excitement. Drivers Association of Master Zhang's most beautiful places in the scene stopped cars, so we use the camera to record the beautiful images and memories.
Deqin the local climate is very volatile, and only in very fine weather before we can see the true face of Meili Snow Mountain, so Meili Snow Mountain is the need to see a good luck. When we went to Dade Qin has been at night, perhaps accompanied by the person who share a common desire, it is possible to see the most beautiful and mysterious of the Meili Snow Mountain, the true, never conquered by humans is also invincible Kamiyama. So an early start to fly the way everyone has a little temple of the much perturbed. The car turned a corner, Zhang pointed to the front of the master, said: "Look, Meili Snow Mountain." Looked along the direction indicated, in front of the cloudless sky turned out to be, Meili Snow Mountain in front of us at a glance. Unparalleled excitement and excitement immediately replace the original perturbed.
The car quickly to the best view of Meili Snow Mountain attraction flying Temple, the sun did not come out, the sky was already bright. We then get off their search for a viewing and shooting the best angle of Meili Snow Mountain. Has been completely adapted to the plateau in front of me in the snow once again to experience rapid heartbeat and breathing, it was because of Meili Snow Mountain that will sustain the suffocating beautiful. Meili Snow Mountain, you first see when it's chillingly and dignity with it, with admiration that people have the arrogance to shake your deepest soul. Peak as a peak Kawaboge sat the old general, wearing a loose shirt, a pair of major vendors look. Si Nong glaciers like the old general to be a long and elegant, but also adds many of its momentum. Side of the Prince peaks standing like an elegant princess, a gown, with a serious drop a little compared with the peak Kawaboge, but many are a number of free and easy, sway arrogance among the highlights. Meili Snow Mountain, with its impressive temperament conquered my heart.
After a 10 minutes, the sun is getting stuck behind the mountains from a distance, his head and began to illuminate the top of Kawaboge peak, and a little bit off from the expansion. Just the beginning, because the light is weak, so only the snow-capped mountains of the Peak, showing a touch of cherry red. As the light slowly increased, the color of snow-capped mountains is turning into a golden yellow, and began to cover all the mountain peaks snow-capped mountains. Standing in front of the majestic snow-capped mountains, looking at a mountain blocks are lit one by one, while the snow-capped mountains in the golden sun shine, the show of "sunshine Jinshan" of remarkable beauty, I feel extremely excited. It was a shock can only be used to describe the beauty of its ten thousandth, a sacred awe of the beautiful people, but also my mind the most beautiful Jinshan Shangri-La.
Took about half an hour, snow-capped mountains resumed its white color. Under our collective photographed in the snow-capped mountains, with the feelings of attachment left the snow-capped mountains, and I feel like the Eagles in the "Hotel California" in the singing "You can check out anytime, but you can never leave".
After that, we went to Shangri-la a general collapse of the village and the rain gods waterfall, moving against the background of the autumn under the Meili Snow Mountain, the sun illuminated the beautiful waterfall of God's rainbow, God waterfall pious prayer before the Mt Tibetans, the Tibetan people's home Xiang Xiang for our delicious boiled in chicken soup, have remained in my memories of the Shangri-La.
The Shangri-La 7-day itinerary is as follows: Lijiang - Tiger Leaping Gorge - baishuitai - are all Lake - Songzanlinsi - Deqin - Meili Snow Mountain (flying Temple) - Yu-Beng - God Falls - Zhongdian. A total of 15 volumes of murder film, only a few selected friends have worked with some of the same reward grant.
