Photo Bank Northwest Yunnan
Not the same as in previous years, holiday travel plans as early as they had been before the beginning of another end of the afternoon exam I can not wait to board a flight to fly to Yunnan Province. Yunnan little rain in winter, they can quickly landed the plane when I saw the outside has been wet, and the subsequent flow of water droplets along the windows. More over the top is heard that afternoon, under a hail of Kunming. But I do not worry about this, I know Yunnan rain comes and goes faster, I went to the hotel when the rain had stopped. Only later did I know that I have to thank This rain the next day had to wait until this morning at the railway station to the northwest along towards its companion Zardon, sam, and Pharaoh, we have four individuals from different places, or even can not write each other's name, but the love and purpose of common interests so that we come together, and even go all the way.
A careful calculation, set foot on this land in Yunnan Province is the fifth time, and came of age not the same as when the purpose is not the same in order to photograph the main this is the first time, but it will never be the last time, every visit him again This desire to become more intense. Kunming, Lijiang, the high-bound fast in the late half an hour before finally passing out of Kunming, the car is of different ages, from different provinces and even people from different countries. High from the sun in the sky the sun shine on a gradual downhill Star appears to Chuxiong to Dali from Kunming to Lijiang end, it spent 10 hours in unconsciously, and did not feel very long. Interestingly, in each of China Mobile sent to a local weather forecast and local weather conditions are the opposite.
The night it had restored the ancient city should have quiet, especially in not coming holiday period. To the ancient city of Lijiang certainly can not not live, otherwise there will be regret, which I understand it all too. After dark the city a bit deserted, but the annual rotating waterwheel, light shining water under the bridge and under the eaves of the red lanterns, the hubbub of the Bar Street, it will not make people feel cold. This is my second visit to Korea on the day of the ancient city late at night the first river experience, although the methods and the last is not the same, but feels there is still no change, or did not how they change. Of people inside the city the morning up late, because of its geographical location, the sun than later. Morning we eat the first one featuring snacks Lijiang Lijiang Baba, I like to eat sweet and kind. While it is not a Tibetan, but there are butter tea, but not as good as Zhongdian authentic, perhaps too authentic a lot of people are not accustomed to drink.
Finished breakfast the sun came out, here is relatively low temperatures, but the sun comes out, will not feel the cold. After we wish to find a good car at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan Lu put embarked on a lake. When last came to Lijiang Lu put on the lake has some understanding, but for some reason did not take place, was just listening to people talk about there, very beautiful, 67 hours worth the drive. Then read the Friends of Lu put a lot of shadow lake photographs, there are very good excellent work, but also to this one travel photos, so she has a more intuitive understanding of imagination in the mind of her appearance, to The desire to have more intense.
Car Gangchu Lijiang some distance after the road flat, both sides of the relatively open, the rising sun's rays hit a patch of grassland and hillside, cloud in the sky come and go the distance can see the dense jungle, a few from time to time Shares of smoke slowly floating upward. Some time ago off a few games under the rain poured slowly into the fields of water, 1 1, in the sun irradiated the surface suffused with golden light, regret not having it shot down. Not long after the road becomes bumpy up the car kept circling around the mountain, but the scenery in this way can be said that in any one place can be a masterpiece, coupled with sounds of music so I do not feel the hard road, but did not sleep forward. Vehicle and Ninglang soon appear on the snow mountain, the driver especially careful, we have for someone else to take pride in the snow tractor launch, although he did a wrestling; also because the car halfway up the mountain of ice and snow slippery feel有惊无险. However, Lu put lake near the viewing platform of the claim to be selling a number of children scattered over the landscape in this way brought me a particularly good mood, also hit a lot of creative enthusiasm, but this place is not too much need for creativity.
Automotive continues to snow-covered road around the mountain slowly, but in off the observation deck after that I know that not far away from the destination, just like a taste of the pre-dawn darkness. Even before they come I have online access to a lot of pictures of Lake Lu put on an understanding of several areas. In the car down to the lake not far from where the light hit the extension of the sunset out of water there appeared a golden Murakami, next to the block due to mountains, light exposure less than the reflective surface of the water is under the influence of very bright blue, bring out a golden village fell into the water, so quickly called the master parking, the road beside the mountain heap of soil with a telephoto lens captured this pair of images. Vehicle arrives at the village fell into the water was nearly dark, the driver stopped the car in the village fell into the water, meaning that we lived here, but we have decided before they come to live Rigby Peninsula, the driver is no way you can do is look inside cells open, did not think he should do not know the road, towards the direction of Sichuan opened 10 minutes only to find something wrong, and later in another U-turn under the guidance of the driver went to Rigby, I guess we were already in Sichuan, a U-turn. In the grid look inside the "right way" suddenly in the road for the car is not for them seems to repair, the road up and down so that vehicles do not know how many times hung up after Caiting the chassis of a few more cars in the courtyard of Lane.
The village fell into the water, compared to Rigby who may all have to understand in advance, and fell into the water village Inn here are more relatively flat terrain, are built along the lake, but due to over-exploitation, seemed more commercialized. The grid on the peninsula where relatively few people, at home in front of the lake and stopped at the Zhu Caochuan that appear old and worn out, and some did not even into the water, I think no one should be riding a long time passed, but this does not affect our curiosity about it. Lu Lake put the original style has been regarded as some here reflected in the evening appeared to be very dark, no lights on the road, we come up with mobile phones when the torch, the local people still in the dark in a small lake not a wide road further than We are faster, if your eyes closed can find his way home, than the stars in the sky as if only a few of the lanterns hanging from the eaves also bright. Middle of the night, four of us in the courtyard where Tashi home playing cards while waiting for the opposite side of the Star exposure of the camera, photographed this pair of my own not very successful "Star." Accommodation here is relatively primitive, the room apart from a few beds and a little table on the left, and trees are made from time to time will find holes in the floor, can see the following as part of the room, it would not be what the noise of the , the two people inside the room would not have come out to chat with the outside is also cool.
When we get up here, people are still asleep, and we even find the water wash-sook confusion later to see them fetch water from the lake are a direct take, how many take much. Before the sun rose up in time for carrying equipment, we climbed a small hill, a good tripod frame rate to find a picture, non-stop press the shutter. Stand a small hill, head to the wind half my face numb, and regret not having brought a hat. The sun rising into the sky, but also not fully illuminate the earth, but the low-lying villages were covered by the light, I first noticed this hill all of this, using a telephoto lens captured this picture. Breakfast eat a bowl of fried bread and porridge, though not very nutritious, but all I prefer to eat. The people here at this time was completely entered a new day beginning. We sat Zhu Caochuan waves in the lake, although the time is not very long, but it is not difficult to appreciate the taste of them. As today's program back to Lijiang, so have to start at noon, although the time spent here is not too long, we pretty do not have much regret, but it does not affect the next time to time to stay two days more. On the return trip believers of everybody seems to have some tired little licking in the car for a while. Back to Lijiang days have not yet dark, but the sun is already on the way home, and at the time when we entered the ancient city, in the East Main Street to see the peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain far off the sunlight was a fiery red clouds, snow-capped mountains have also been mapping was red, Like "Fire" Mountain. We hurried back to Inn to lay down their luggage straight to Sierra Leone to bring equipment, did not expect Wang kulou have closed, and only in the relatively high-lying next to a shop called the roof of a dinner, Snow Peak, just a pity that this time, or red cloud now Ukraine has been one of the. . . Gradually turn on the lights inside the city.
The location of the best trips we plan to go north from Tibet by the recent shooting of Deqin Meili Snow Mountain, but we heard that because of the weather over there is probably Deqin snowbound mountainous, and everything just to Zhongdian looking how the. We have packages of Lijiang and Zhongdian Weidong master's car to go along the way to see the scenery outside the window as if that is a replica of the last-mission to Zhongdian, parking plus the oil filling stations, the hubbub in the town bridge, due to landslides where traffic jams often seemed to come off yesterday. The luck is good, and the roads where traffic jams often we have successfully entered the Yunnan-Tibet road through the mountain sections, this section is not very severe snow, the road is not very great difficulty, after a period of signals from mobile phones, roads, the front of suddenly see the light, on both sides of a small meadow and distant snow-covered hills are being traversed by a Road, where the soil exposed traces of the sun shining on the snow a little bit reflective glare from time to time someone will catch a yak from the across the middle of the road before, and the teacher told us that some drivers have been on the hit yak, yak angry, the consequences are car was kicked out of order. Here called xiaozhongdian later learned that the road down the road is very flat, relatively fewer cars on the road, long before the truck reached the capital of Zhongdian Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Unfortunately, the news Deqin seal off because of snow, I am afraid that our car into the more dangerous, but unfortunately had to cancel plans to Deqin. We came to Songzanlinsi eaten the last hearing with the tour guide into the explanation, it has a certain understanding. Pharaoh did not go with us, in the parking lot where selection of knives. Lijiang, Zhongdian elevation higher than that, the day when the lighting conditions are good, blue sky was black, Songzanlinsi the top of the temple have all been refurbished, looked magnificent, in the backdrop of blue sky seemed to be especially dazzling, original location on the hill in Chinese and Tibetan to do a "Songzanlinsi" message, this time we do not look hard enough into the Temple, in the hall outside, golden dome, yellow walls, a monk, the distance the snow is our reason for pressing the shutter.
Prior to us to catch a sunset that Pahai last came here coincides with the rainy season, there seemed like a swamp, this completely altered, but for that barley stands, I almost do not recognize it, meadow completely snow cover, drying the throngs of barley is still a high shelf above there is snow. I entered, such as grassland opposite ZARDON trying to board a snow-covered hills shoot sunset, but we did not even allow the equipment on board this small hill, in order to protect the equipment, I did not little wrestling, and had to give up , was a small ditch block this avenue of us around the whole grassland before returning the car, this time the sun is almost completely down, my pants found in many other places in the snow, the original old white sports shoes at this time appears to particularly new. The temperature is minus 14 degrees I have never experienced before, sounds like some scary, but the reality is much like I want it, Zhongdian night, and did not let me feel very cold and I did not even wear a sweater.
Dechen's snowbound mountainous so we have to change itinerary, left foot back to the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge. Zhongdian leaving the road as in the past from time to time we also lay down the camera back to the car when I found that there are a lot of snow on the camera bags. And the master sent us back to Lijiang, the tiger jumped it, and asked if we can not find the car back tomorrow, 6:00 ago Lijiang, then called him. We jumped all the way down from the tiger came to the mouth of the tiger jumped viewing platform, Tiger Leaping Gorge in winter when the rainy season is more than magnificent, but at that time in addition to our outside visitors to no more than ten, I remember when the last time to Lookout camera pictures of people lining up in the ladder down. Jump on the tiger through the tunnel, we considered the official start of the walk, the four of us standing on the steps of roadside digital camera with the Pharaohs took the first photo. Tiger tiger jump from the previous jump in along the way are all on one side is the side of a mountain cliff, the following is the Jinsha River, a distance either side of a Haba and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, we are in the middle of the road has been to tiger jumped away, along the way there is fine, there is rain, there have been roadside and mountains sheep, Riverside has horse whispering, cliff edge blade of grass in the Rainbow Canyon emergence, were we shot 11 records . That went in several times for the tiger jumped Zhang teacher's house and later found not to and frustrated, but also excited to see the Rainbow I almost did not call out, as well as an only child so hungry sitting on the stone side of the road staring up at the Haba snow-capped mountains to eat hard tack, which is exactly what I want way to travel. Chang teacher's house is the sun sets, and Chang teacher's home is located in the cliff beside the road, look up you can see the snow-capped mountains, to bow their heads will be able to see the Jinsha River. In the evening, mahjong can also be a tool for our entertainment.
Played a month early the next day preparing for the next tiger jumped in, and the wizard took us from the mountain man has been drilled down, the next valley, though not how tired of this road, but it will be gone too fast, too much leg in a pile of rocks in the jump to climb, finally boarded the tiger jump tiger jumped stone, Tiger Leaping Gorge in winter than summer, fierce currents, but the standing stone on the tiger jumped into the following, or there will be a bit frightened look, do not spray when it splashed on me. Said the tiger jumped the tiger jumped the legendary stone is the place where the tiger walked to skip the Jinsha River. Tiger jumped from stone to the thin strip of sky on the mountain section of our cruelly tired, came to rest after several thin strip of sky, the road ahead is difficult, both below the cliff, there is no railing, and jumped on the tiger You Yipin at large in the mountains. We have not done too much to stay, came out a path to another ladder to enter the so-called ladder is actually the image of man take the kind of firefighter climbing a ladder fire-fighting, a total of three sections, the top section of the highest, a total of more than 20 meters, the vertical angle, each time only one person on, but they do not exist for our young people is much of a problem, the last section of the fast climbed them back down when I looked at specifically. Ladder has been climbed them not far from the road, we are also tired No, return to the top after the Pharaoh took us to the famous Tina's claims to the world one must eat the tina's Palace storms Chicken, I think that we here do not taste delicious Only later did I know at the chef's Tiana Yi did not. TINA'S eating two of us and the foreign owner's car to Mix package Qiaotou Zuoche Hui Lijiang, ZARDON a person to a baishuitai tomorrow in Lijiang and our convergence. In our car ready to go when the teacher brings a Korean, dead or alive also involve negotiations with that we take this car to the bridge. Car jump from Tiger to jump on the tiger when we looked at the time and a little more than 15 minutes, and we take pictures to go all the way yesterday for three hours. Vehicle bridge and the two foreigners Mix package that we had cars van back to Lijiang, Koreans invisible, and we are in the car it feels to say that we are still in South Korea to the bridge.
Back to Lijiang the next day and I would ride to the SAM Lashihai along the Shangri-La Road, Lijiang Town after riding out into the road to Zhongdian, the way uphill to my little experience of people who ride a difficult task for , no way, I had come across slope on the cart. Even so, when we arrived Lashihai the time I have Buxing Liao, drank the water before pressure of cross-breath. This is our second time to pull in this city of the sea, a few days ago to Zhongdian was passing the time here, we are also down and photographed, but that is not enjoyable, then come here to ride on their own. Lashihai This is a wet grassland, is a good place to watch birds. Since some time ago here, under the rain water had become the true sense of the "sea" of. It is such a "sea", the water trees, golden grass with blue sky and white clouds, far out of the horse, so I kept pressing the shutter, here is the my favorite place.
As this did not go to Deqin, Pharaohs completed ahead of schedule in his two days before we go home they set foot on the road ahead. By failing to Tibet to see the head of the eight Kamiyama peak of Meili Snow Mountain 13 Zunrong, we decided to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, regarded as compensation be a bar. Early in the morning the morning we will enjoy another of the characteristics of snacks to eat "chicken bean jelly beans", but it is a bean jelly bean jelly bean chicken did not shape to it before heating it to melt, plus condiments, eat up Do not have some taste, I never eat this man of mine who also loves does not address the mouth. Heilongtan outside the Old Town of Lijiang is a major research stream within the town of origin, but here overlooking the snow-capped mountains, Unfortunately, when every day more overcast, snow-capped mountains is not very clear reflection of the water is also legible. However, the water here is very clear, there is a xintaizi the bridge where there are titles Naxi ancient music, we saw a few old people sitting inside of them, and holding musical instruments that play, but how it sounds like the East is Red The song, and the other people baffled. Yulong Snow Mountain is the last came to a big rope, but the big hill fog can look at things is not too much, this time I did not intend to shoot mainly go up the mountains, possibly because "does not know the truth about the only edge are in the mountain. "
In the way to the snow-capped mountains, roads on both sides of the grass in the sunlight appears red, trees, only the remaining branches, the near able to see the snow-capped mountains. Grass, trees and snow-capped mountains composed of a picture let me shoot a lot. Baishuihe the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain has no water this time, and for tourists taking pictures of the yak ride is also omitted. Yun Shanping fairly thick snow on the legend here is a couple of Naxi ancient cliff jumping sentimentalism place. Yunshan Ping originally heard people say there is no point on a fast lawn, or should a big rope, but I think things could not be filmed here, or are more only regret is that the day of Jade Dragon Peak has always been shrouded with clouds, the air is not very permeability.
Prior to always want to leave a little something back as a souvenir, we are no exception, Lijiang Dongba culture of Golden Key, and some decorations became my favorite. Within the last day of wandering in the ancient city, although this is one of the few times, but our experience here is not difficult to leisure. That morning we are on the forever floor, overlooking the city panorama, there is an intensive one roof there are loose, there are crowded there are also yet to be developed, and the distant echoes of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain cross, town and mountain already indivisible, is a symbol of Lijiang. Lijiang ancient city without walls, which is why it is a unique place in ancient times is said to be due to Wood's toast living in the city, "wood" with a circle over the word is "trapped" Did it not himself trapped Therefore, Old Town of Lijiang will be no walls. The town's many elderly people will be put forward to the cage every morning on the Lion to Liuniao. Slightly in the Square Street of the groom to stay ensconced in between Tibet and Yunnan Province, the Yunnan tea into Tibet, the Tibetan medicinal materials shipped to the east. . . Tea-Horse Road, really want to go with them once. . . Lijiang, Zhongdian back from the way our master agreement with, and Weidong the day a few years later, we bought a 2020 Jeep Kunming and along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway to Lhasa to open. . . This left a lot of memories in the tiger jumped Zhang teacher's house door at the top of the right of the door of the room, I pinned a note left by two and a finger print. This, this northwestern Yunnan trip came to a close, but me and my dreams will continue to chase down this path, I do not know when is the end, perhaps there is no end.
