40 days Yunnan travels I was very fond of wandering people, but very strange: to go so many places, never wrote anything travels, a child may be afraid to put an essay written before visited in Yunnan, the first university graduate internships, then, not what the high-rise in Kunming, in a great mood very undisciplined city, like streets on a busy transfer, the air was filled with the rich fragrance, but also occasionally be able to look at ethnic minority girls clothing Unfortunately, all good figure, face General. Overall impression very good, and now a modern Kunming, and the kind of undisciplined taste was gone.
The second time was in 2000, a very luxury travel, chartered, star hotels, went to Lijiang, Dali, Zhongdian.
The purpose of this go very clear: to play the most primitive parts of Yunnan, so tents, sleeping bags la la, etc. readily available camping climbing guy, before I have also developed a walking road map.
The first stop was Gongshan, through the state capital of Nu six libraries, six libraries on the edge of the Nu River, a small city, and every evening there will be a lot of people out strolling, I observed a moment, taking a little wild, handsome guy a lot of tan very dark, very clear the kind of facial contours, and beautiful women did not find the few, but not ugly, perhaps, and blood related to the back I have to say to the. 6 library there are many hot springs, are basically the edge of the Nu River, before the winter here, there would be a family of Li Su Bath Association (now also have to count), is a mixed bath for men and women, many boys and girls took the opportunity to falling in love, think about to, that kind Xiangyan stimulating scenes. . . . (Nosebleed to flow out of the ~) Unfortunately, this practice became a local tourist programs, the taste has changed, but those days have a lot to Searching for a pass Kuangpai photography enthusiasts, many people hiding in a tree to steal shoot, it is said that young people had not come to bathe, and to see those old men and old women should be uninteresting to a bath? Hehe.
Here I first saw the crossbow hunting (in stores), but very expensive, asking price should be 200 or so (I am talking about the kind of practical, making crossbows require special timber), there is also a souvenir of the nature of the , cheap but estimates can not be used.
6 library is my favorite small city, probably because she was built on the edge of the Pentium's Nu River, to those built on the edge of the city of rapids, I always have a good impression, such as MS Contin. Phase contrast out of a quiet taste, but no lack of passion.
From the six libraries to Gongshan way upstream along the Nu River, traffic not bad, the Nu River is a big gap between the rivers, flow quickly, an angry river worthy of the name - the name is a play was good, left is Gaoligongshan right is Biluo snow-capped mountains, majestic mountains are very high, but the traditional slash and burn destruction of her original style, impressive is the kinds of maize, slope, then the steep slope I admire people who farm, how to keep the body balance, Maybe this is the life of the. Some cabins dotted in between the two sides, the structure is a two-tier, and a distance from the esthetic sense, should be very beautiful.
Gongshan when approaching the car was stopped, and the time the aftermath of SARS, not the past, we encountered a medical examination station, this is our most serious encountered along the way at a checkpoint, a hot day wore thick masks, unfortunately, one of us were a little high body temperature, 37.5. This temperature should be not too high, the inspection stations along the way allowed to go, but the doctor was asked to go Gongshan County Hospital dedicated physical examinations, time, boredom in front of me and a car accosted the girls,
I asked her if she is not Li Su family, because she looks more beautiful, and the legendary Li Su tribe girls more beautiful. She said she was Bai, Bai Gongshan county there are many lives.
Here to talk about both sides of the ethnic composition of the Nu River, mainly ethnic Nu Su Li Bai Dulong Tibetan and Han do not say, everywhere. Li Su family is a very gentle people, relatively deep profile, looks good, Nu I know much about history are said to have robbed the habit of reading a hundred years ago the French to write the book, that Frenchman Bay from Vietnam Proceeding along the Mekong River (Lancang River in China that is) up, has been walked Deqin, and then turned Biluo snow-capped mountains to the Nu River and finally arrived in India via the Drung River Basin, in the middle repeatedly in the Sanjiang River, when he Nu Nu River writes regularly to the Lancang River Basin Li Su tribe village to plunder. After that there are referred to his book, as part of his line, and we coincide. Bai in Yunnan's history is a relatively strong nation, and their activity center in Dali, in Yunnan, are distributed throughout the subjects. Dulong we will discuss later, the Tibetan are mainly distributed in northwest Yunnan relatively high altitude areas.
In Gongshan because that doctor's persistence over a one-day delay, but a better and therefore able to stroll a stroll this small town, the county seat there are only two main streets, markets, variety of fairly rich, relatively clean roads, restaurants, catering to Sichuan and Yunnan-based style, taste good.
At a crossroads, I saw a strange person, can not tell from the attire of his nation, is a face is a long guy, holding a crossbow and a bag of arrows squatted bank door, a little touch of lonely. I am very curious, it is necessary that the crossbow of the point of view, the true crossbow, arrows are made of bamboo, and one end sharpened and the other end is a very beautiful tail, one look like, and asked him if he is not sell, He was very simple and honest point of bowed, his hands than the next, 40, ah, good cheap ah, out of bargaining instinct, I said 30, did not think he agreed, so, I got into his life's first crossbow and 180 exquisitely small arrow.
Then I thought, it would definitely be a mountain, and now the government prohibition on hunting, and he would take to sell crossbows.
The first route on foot from Gongshan to Dulong, there are two roads, the locals call it old and new roads, old caravans and porters during the past way to go, before the completion of the new road outside the Drung River Basin, and the only access , there's documentary "The Last Caravan," says that this road. New road repair for several years, but now they have not yet fully open to traffic because of landslides reasons to take a long paragraph to go is to ride and foot binding.
Our plan is to go from the old and new paths, previously in a book to see that this road is very difficult, therefore decided to request a guide and porters, the local people's help, we have invited more than a surname of Li Su family guy, 30 yuan / day, to help us cater to guide things back 15KG. Proved Please guide is superfluous, the road is clear, can not be lost, but the way there are many porters.
In the town we encountered a small group of two long-haired Kunming, nickname or domain name known as a leech, a ring called the 20 (or 27 ring?) Is quite the artist temperament, they said just Dulong back Then look at who has given us the wounds, leech bites, and mosquito bites. That is called leech excitement that he had been a lot of leech bites:), but also ran into the Nu River state television, "parade, they stare at me leg shot, close-up! Only Paitui!" Side of that side of the emotion leech Natiao to us to show his hairy legs. So we decided to invite them to dinner, in order to get more Dulong situation, after all, they are just inside out.
20 ring says that now is the rainy season, their clothes and shoes almost never done it before rain generally leech out of the leech Dulongjiang climb from the ground is not only people's legs, as well as from a tree falling in , bite you hard to relent, and the bite-off places are bleeding, because it will be before the injection of an anti-vampire hemagglutinin, blood-sucking leech up before the cigarette-like thickness, smoking will be saturated after the thumb-like thickness, in short, most horrible.
I am more concerned about the way to deal with leech, 20 ring that burned with cigarette butts, or scattering of salt, but not hand-pulled, so it's suction is likely to remain in the skin, easy to inflammation, these are I know .
The occasion of the latter is drunk, leech to roll up his T-shirt, wants us to see his shoulders, tattoos, and asked what we like. I carefully looked at that like cabbage (which is polite to say, I feel that as a pile of cow dung), he wanted me to take a closer look, we have a look at very seriously, and then said with one voice: cabbage! He no choice but to smile the next: the flame!
Fainted. . . . . . .
Departure time is up, we should first go to purchase food, the following is a list of our food rice pounds (Wizard I strong demand, we plan to only buy 5 pounds), bacon half a catty catty sausage, salty chicken, spicy Pepper pound (Hunan mei A raccoon strong demand), cabbage one (think of the tattoo was bought leech), cucumber 3 tomatoes 3 (which was later crushed) marked bamboo shoots three bags, salad oil pound, salt couple of pounds (only couple of pounds of equipment), the White House fans 10 bags.
Set off! Start a good way to go, is simply a big road, my load is about 30 pounds to succeed, this road along the river upstream Pula, Pula River is very clear of the river, and the Nu River has become a clear yellow soil contrast, water is very rapid, in some places almost like a collapse.
Then, walking around, sometimes startled the road in the drinking water butterflies, in the morning sun dance, a kind of stunning feeling, along the vegetation is very rich, there are many have never seen the plant. Today's camp is its view to protecting the station (Gaoligongshan is a National Nature Reserve), via Karma full protection stations.
At noon time has come to ge enough protection stations, we are confronted with unexpected things, protect the station request to our small group into the protected area permit, because we never heard that explanation reads we just been the aim of Dulong and then they would to the We ask for 100 yuan / person, collapsed, it is simply blackmail Well! I try to home grounds, they showed me the paper charges, I have carefully read, 2 yuan / person! 2001 document, prices had not so fast Well, they later dropped to 50 yuan per person. Then the wizard pulled me, and I knowing the out the door and let peers and their representations, the guide said he knew the road, you can bypass this protection stations, I put companions dragged out, back away Duan Road, Start the wizard that asked in detail about how to go.
At this time know how the Chinese language guide bad, he said the original is the opening of new roads, and our early and take the old road into the mountains, he said, no way, we decided to stay in the vicinity of the first half-day, middle of the night off to protect potential station, the wizard says I have a good understanding of other people around, just when we would also like to see the real Li Su tribe people looks like.
Back, the road, a small group Li Su family, his left hand holding a dish of snakes, right hand holding the lock across the river, apparently just slipped over the other side, and behind with a cute little black dog. Liusuo locals across the river as a means of transport. Even before liberation is the main means of crossing the river across the river because the water was too swift, and bridge high cost and difficult, even animals have the river so. Chinese Law in that the book I have seen such an illustration: the long Liusuo on the Nu River, in the middle are the first terrified of the mule in the glide of the river below the Pentium.
Wizard is clear and that young man is very addict to get acquaintance, we went to his house to go back path for nearly an hour, and then along a barely visible trail up a two-story wooden structure appears in the eyes.
Wooden huts around the kinds of the plum trees and corn, chickens in the food, a water pipe extending down from the hills, on the first floor is a chicken coop and pig shed, on the stairs, before your eyes are three rooms, the most left-hand side there is a fireplace places, equivalent to our kitchen and living room, the bedroom of the other two.
Poor housing, so we were shocked! Three-inch-wide plank is the irregular walls of the main building material, wood gap between the large, there are many loopholes in the roof, plastic sheeting a Mongolian settle the matter, is difficult to imagine how to take the air against the walls and roof of the winter! Need to know much snow in winter here, ah, bedroom addition to bed with nothing, dare I say: In addition to the house itself, which house all the 3 things that its value is not more than 500 yuan!
Some 40-year-old mistress, that boy was her son, 18-year-old, is a Christian, second son is in junior high school Gongshan time. Man of the house is not, probably go to work by. Huotang Bian, boy pop-up a guitar, not very skilled, but it basically into a song.
Dinner time is up, we come up with their own food, by my chef, food is burning on the fireplace, and a big pot, while I rubbed my eyes while waving spoon - smoke is still too great a moment, two vegetables a Tom Well, firewood really is very fierce.
Five persons started a dog Huo Tangbian pleasant dinner, man of the house was not returned. I took out in the Gongshan bought two dollars a bottle of corn liquor, which although less expensive wine but not on top. Guide to the hostess down a bowl of wine, he took a one handed me a bowl of drinking, Li Su family's habit is to first drink and then handed a guest. So you one I finished a bottle of wine quickly.
I took out the 20 quick money, please guide the rest to buy liquor and cigarettes, which is a small village. I soon returned, followed by a tall old, originally mistress's brother. Choi finished soon, and we sat Huotang Bian, smoking cheap cigarettes, drinking corn liquor, and soon everyone was a little tipsy by.
