We Three of the western Sichuan (Part One)
In order to have a wonderful memory, and often need to pay a lot of things, such as hardship, such as dangerous, such as fatigue, such as money ... travel is like that.
Select western Sichuan purely fortuitous, it is seen in the above article on Ctrip Hailuogou travelogues. I have been on the swim team stylized abhorrence, unless the units to organize group travel, I was never the Committee consists. So in a Saturday, for a whole day in the online search on the Kangding travelogues and zz from sina until you see the "Kangding" word on a kind of feel like vomiting. My mind full of the "tower of the public", "Hot Springs", "xinduqiao", "new South Gate Station", "Danba beauty", "sunshine Jinshan", "wood lattice wrong" and so a lot of muddleheaded term , Hun Hun sleep.
Went to Snowbird, my wife bought hiking shoes and Jackets, I also acquired a pair of sunglasses, his son bought a cool bottle. Well, We Three of the western Sichuan trip must begin.
April 30: 1:19 pm, Xi'an - Chengdu Train K5. Wanted to buy a round-trip ticket, but I probably forget about a one-way to ride the train than by plane Province, 1,600 yuan of money, in order to give the English Edition 1600 is still worth it say hello? Moreover, I still quite like to take the train.
On the train, and our neighborhood is also a shop just to play小崔Chengdu, couples and Xiao Yang, his wife, they just go around Chengdu, Leshan, Emei Shan, but also have a friend who had booked the room for them. Are peers, so talk of everything the way it really happy, his son becomes the biggest pistachio. Look, this is a good start.
Personal Tip: Golden Week in Xi'an, the station should not expect to buy a sleeper ticket. Originally, I wanted to model the public, six days in advance to the pre-sale window and silly bar a few students who came in half an hour of the team, the results thrown a cold window, "not even 30 seats are without!" dingy's out, quickly called Zhao Shuren bar!
May 1: In the morning 5:30 am, arrived in Chengdu train station half an hour ahead of schedule. And Cui, Yang moment to bid farewell to his wife, a taxi to the new South Gate busy bus station to buy a daily morning 9:30 am bound for the bus ticket Hailuogou. To go too early, bus station not open the door, but the door has already gathered a lot of donkey, it is estimated to Inagi, towns and, Siguniangshan many. Six more than the window selling tickets. I could not be expected, tickets have been sold out. However, to many people in the day to Hailuogou station has a group of additional bound Hailuogou 9:40 shuttle, until 7 o'clock, I finally got two precious tickets.
10 am, car left the new South Gate Station. In the entrance into the elegant high-speed toll booths, car ranked team for nearly an hour, almost all wearing "Sichuan A", "Yu A" license plates to the self-driving in Western Sichuan. Cars through the Yaan, wearing the Erlang mountain tunnel in Asia, on the road, see a lot of roads prone to landslides in the hillside next to the construction, erected tall scaffolding, construction workers, safety belt tied in clusters of mountain rocks marked with the steel, then cement watering, the slopes covered with cement feels like a Cliff Cave. I could not help secretly lamenting the hardships Shu man-made road, Shu was also impressed by the spirit of self-improvement.
18:00 to reach the town of Hailuogou under the Moxi. In Xi'an when I have already booked a room three camps. We took a scenic area of the van, after nearly an hour to reach an elevation of 2980 meters on the 3rd camp Yinshan hotel.
Personal Tip: Golden Week Hailuogou scenic spots within the housing is very tight, I 5 days in advance on-line booking when the two camps have no room. Because I am only given 3 camps, Miss Wang in the phone book the room, in our way from Chengdu to Hailuogou, she played three phone I would also like to confirm that standard for the reason that many people want to book. Check two camps, free hot spring, but the three camps in the early morning sun if the weather is good you can see Jinshan. Between the two camps standard 560 yuan, 480 yuan for giving me three camps discounted to 320 yuan.
The best viewing location is sunshine Jinshan Jinshan hotel roof, we are treated to live in the hotel's roof is pointed. Kunga soup I did not see God, not comment.
May 2: In the morning 5:40, I get up on time, and his wife out to see the sunrise. Outside the gray, the sky thick layer of clouds, I saw a guy come in Chengdu, and so on for a long time, what had not seen each other only sigh sigh bad luck, back into the house. Less than 7 points, I went out again to see viewing platform has been jammed with people, has also been driving Changqiangduanbao good hotel next door to the roof of Jinshan also stop a lot of people. People's eyes, I looked down and saw the clouds in the sunlight, Kunga mountain peak is clearly visible, shining in the sun, under glittering, crystal clear, though living in nearly 3,000 meters in height, but Looking to 7556 meters of the Kunga peak still feel like a fairy mountains, the sky, high can not be; and substantially decreased and a mirage, Murano US-hwan.
8:00 or so, a scenic area within the range of cars cars up, and we came back good baggage car cableway station, bought a 160 round-trip cableway tickets. Good luck, and a guide to sit a car, tour guides is also very enthusiastic about the answer to our questions. We learned at the foot of the glacier thickness more than 300 meters every month, there will be a great move, numerous cracks in the ice. Here are some on foot to see the donkeys had been a breakthrough in the glacier above the safety line to walk, could not help but ready to make trouble, but this brings their mouth, had to give up the idea.
Ropeway also up for some big waterfall highlights the front of the ice. Feel there is no imagination in the spectacular waterfall on the walk if they can be very cool. Is not too far from the cableway station on foot, a horizontal safety line before him, from the icefall where there are about more than 300 meters, where to stay ten minutes, I heard the icefall the direction of the two came "rumbling" in landslides roar and see the icefall collapsed down the corner of sight.
At this time, the son suddenly pulled foul. Alas! This brats, I really will find the time. Yesterday was soon to be on the car to pull the smell and depriving we almost missed the car, and today the election in this place, the toilet is still above the cableway station, I had hired a local Tibetans to help me back son, I am back a backpack with the back and let his wife in the back slowly. Here more than 3000 meters above sea level, I have had several high altitude experience, know that in this highly unsuitable for strenuous exercise, may be anxious son, back in front of his son's Tibetans Jianbu like flying, I had to follow his speed to go along the way we have exceeded all The tourists, walk me out of breath, fortunately not very far, or else the non-get on the ground can not be.
Ropeway sit back, take a shuttle bus to the two camps, purchase of 65 / person Spa ticket, first went to eat Chinese food restaurant, then go to hot spring.
Two camps, hot springs is still very good, there are many different pool temperatures. Soaking in hot springs, looking around the four upright Zhou Junxiu lush mountains and forests, the boundaries of the past few days all eliminated. If it is winter, the snow-covered spa pool must Gengshuang.
Soak for an hour, could not stand the heat. Bath, take a scenic shuttle bus to the mill, West Town, and two fellow partners in Chongqing to pack a taxi to Luding. They had come to Hailuogou former first went to the Luding Bridge, that the Red Army that year alone Jigen chains impossible to break Luding Bridge, so that must be invented, and the Red Army across the KMT will certainly bought off defenders. Oh, anyway, the Red Army is still very great.
Luding Bridge a lot of visitors, so that had to limit the number of people on the bridge. Walking in the swing of the iron chain bridge, looking at the Dadu River at the foot of rushing water, and my heart Mo Yin with Mao's "long march. Qi Lv," could not help but pride Dunsheng!
Together with others from the Luding Bridge chartered to Kangding, the road the driver told me to Danba bad way to go, and there is no direct train to Chengdu Danba (this information is wrong), so decided to give up in the car Danba, a day ahead of schedule Back to Chengdu, this can accompany his wife to her has never been Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain. Also asked about the public and wooden lattice tower to go the wrong price, down the driver calls.
Reach Kangding is 18:00, we're in the city went more than a dozen hotels all full, as long as hotels, regardless of grade level, some parking space in front of the "River A" and "Yu A" of the car, listening to said that this year the road has just been repaired Kangding, so 5.1 to Kangding, a particularly large number of tourists from the car. In desperation a taxi to go outside to see hotels let the driver stopped, when what had been unable to manage an independent bathroom air-conditioned TV, and N times being told to "full up", we finally southern outskirts of the city of Kangding, Ganzi Prefecture of family planning guidance station guest house found a waiter's duty room, a room 50 / night, we have not so many, and a promised down. Looking around this 10 square house, two beds, a worn sofa, an abandoned aluminum counters, shabby doors and windows, all glass windows is a balcony outside, here are the street, where the outskirts, but ah, too safe. Can be considered to place a lot of donkey-line, in addition to the western Qinghai-Tibet Highway on the beach, which is living the most miserable time, but this time his wife and son, ah.
Midnight, 2:00 or so, the corridor was suddenly awakened by the sound of Zamen the wife woke up, trembling voice asked me if I was knocking on our door, I said, not think so. Then news came out of the window fits of barking sound, people increasingly find it difficult to fall asleep. After a while, his wife sent a slight snoring, no sleep and I feel at any moment come in from the windows of several masked knife in Kham Tahan, thinking or not in the pockets, leaving only 1,000 yuan of money, the The remaining plugs in the shoes, in the cranky in sleep.
Washed up and finished the morning walk the streets, looked up and saw a gigantic Tibetan Mastiffs in our patrol back and forth on the balcony outside the window, as early as aware of the powerful protection of God, last night I will sleep even faster than his wife.
Personal Note: 1, see Hailuogou icefall we must take a rope, walking simply can not see icefall, why not build the road repair the past? May be difficult roads of Shu bar! Qingcheng Mountain Lake on the city is also the case, and must spend 5 yuan by boat over a very short distance, but did not walk past the road, unless their swim in the past. Shu smart evident.
2, from the Hailuogou to Luding from Luding to Kangding to be chartered, each 20 yuan (golden week price).
3, if, unfortunately, lodging in the duty room, we must first determine whether the feeding the dogs out the window, if there is then it can safely go to sleep:)
