May 2 escape from Gongshan
0910 Gongshan -1.63 thousand six library
SARS observation period from 2 weeks turned into three weeks, making it impossible to stay at the observation point to observe the expiry obtained after the health certificate to remain in Gongshan. So we decided to leave. Asked the doctor, he said that there are six libraries 9:00 shuttle to go, he gave us in the car left a seat. Near 9:00, we walk out the door of the Observatory, as out from prison, as in the roadside waiting for a train. There is an armed police stood looking across the road until we get on the train and tell the driver to ensure that we leave the Gongshan county. In fact, doctors with doctors Gongshan County border to fight the phone at the departure time, they also on the bus to confirm that there are two of Shanghai in the car, lorry exit.
Car all the way along the Nu River valley and the line is a rough road outside the Nu River. The yellow river crossed a rocky beach shore, thrown up the white spray.
Of a fugitive feeling hanging over us, do not have much interest in watching the scenery outside the window. From time to time to see the mountain waterfall cliff hung down from the green, can not stimulate our interest. There is no Liusuo has been replaced by hoists, wire rope pull the two sides, hanging cages. By the traction motor, on the river between the two sides. I just took a few photos only.
16:00 pm, nearly six libraries. Street there is a hot springs resort, the driver would stop and tell us to get off accommodation, lest, when cities will no longer suffer from physical examination.
This is also a good hotel, as a break point is already very good. Stay there, it was very carefully washed the bath, we have two white a lot, but have no clean clothes, and can only continue to wear has changed color NIKKO coat.
Supper is the street of small restaurants to eat, point of stewed chicken soup, but obviously not as flying temple. Worth mentioning is the famous Cantonese soup, and can not with their ratio.
In fact here is very quiet, a four-day trek is very hard, sleep is also fragrant.
May 3 overlooking the border Pianma
1030 departure to arrival Pianma -1,400 films horses, lunch, -1620 to -1500 physical borders -1.7 thousand to Pianma Anti-British Monument -1.9 thousand dinner, Dip tilapia -2100 on the train to Dali
Escape Gongshan so that we can not see the majesty of the Nu River First Beach, Pianma trip may be our last one highlight of the trip, but do not want to become a six-hour road trip to spend riding concept.
From the six libraries to Pianma Gaoligongshan to climb. Found the information from the Internet shows that we will see a mountain waterfall, the vertical changes in vegetation. But our luck is not very good. Days are overcast, foggy drizzle during the past Yamaguchi, even "Pianma Yakou" Beiqian pictures of all a problem. But we do through the "Gaoligongshan National Nature Reserve," Yao Jiaping passing the "red panda breeding base" has gone through a whole the most stringent anti-SARS examination: wash your hands, registration ID card, transcripts itinerary, contact phone number. Measured the temperature at the hospitals and answered twenty or thirty concerning the flu symptoms described problems, including the driver's identity card and cell phone.
Along the highway next to the pillar on the 16th when it is 16 o'clock. But the border police is to not let us to the border line, said there is a security zone, and only after carrying out exit procedures in order to go. We strive to consult with the squad leader and no results, and so they are in front of the border overlooking the 300 meters outside the national boundaries.
Return visit Pianma in Anti-British Monument and monuments, did not see orders Lake, the town said that they wanted to go put on solid food for three days to see, of course, to give up. Malaysia's economy is mainly piece of timber imports and rough along the way there is no tourists, the local Iveco only shipped more locals, in addition to that load of more than ten tons of big trucks filled with logs or boards to Kunming, the direction of away. Has in mind, should the market called the import of Burmese wood is transported like come from?
Six kilometers away from the six libraries in a store to eat tilapia. Tilapia This is not a local specialty, but after the introduction of farming is very successful, and then exported. There is also a local seasoning called "Dip" is a kind of dried chili powder, very spicy and fresh. Local practice is to boil the whole fish, then transfer Dip fish soup, add onion salt, dip to eat, taste great America.
After dinner, went to six libraries bus station, take the car to Dali 9:00. Car is about 34 kilometers away from the six libraries have border checkpoint, two soldiers were checking identity cards on the bus, and asked how we are now also out of tourism, "Is not afraid of SARS?" The want to answer, but his tongue, but also do not want to say. Tourism is also a part of life, and there would not be atypical pneumonia can be easily canceled. Of course, SARS has also brought a lot of trouble for tourism, it wants to go with the flow also.
