In the "Tour of Yunnan I help you" website, found a very good choreography Yunnan tour, so bought a ticket July 5 early in the morning fly to Kunming from Beijing.
July 5 at noon, the local travel agent took me from the airport to receive travel companies have signed any contract, arrangement Xishuangbanna night flying. The afternoon time, only their own streets in Kunming Luanhuang the.
Bullish map, I stroll along Beijing Road, go to wander through the alley stalls. Buy clothes who kept shouting things like "beauty to pick a bar," which title was very sweet; alley piled Gejia the middle of throwing out garbage, actually also "stack" with a man - is an old beggar in the streets to sleep, an Accord carefully breaking off the wheels go around is really a scene. Out of the alley, then walk to the downtown, and soon reached the "Golden Mabi Chicken Corner" quite a lot of characteristics of Singapore's streets. To see a very cattle buildings, Qiyuxuanang, not the government, not commercial buildings, was actually CCB. M2M Chang bought the CD, through the Po Shan Road, went Panlong River, the water dirty, but the cool breeze blowing gently. Bunker building sat next to riverside, watching the people coming and going far and wide, listening to M2M's the day you went away, sent me the first day of lonely travel time, the day is passing away.
Night flew long attracted the Xishuangbanna tropical scenery, tour guides at the airport received over 31 members, and we are not on the plane also with each other knowing each other. In order to handle Myanmar outbound in the evening dragged directly to the camera handle documents, and then settled in the Lancang River Hotel. In this remote southwestern border, arranged my roommate turned out to be a village from the north-east Arctic Mohe female teachers this year, 60 sharp, Heishou, tough, go out alone to go so far to travel, amazing.
Days have been late, not eating, sultry night, we looked for a broken gear close to dinner, but still very good fried liver tip, waist, shredded bamboo shoots, are delicious.
Back to the room, the decoration is very broken, but there are air-conditioned, with hot water, looking forward to the upcoming tour, contentedly to sleep.
July 6 Meng Lunya today to go to a tropical botanical garden. To enjoy the scenery along the Lancang River. In the morning market on the Ganlan Ba five dollars bought a silver bracelet. Into the feelings of the local customs Dai village, but also to Dai bamboo house on the guest a cup of tea.
Watershed Dai Dai, Dai, and Hua Yaodai dry (that is, around the waist has a lace belt). They called men and women was very strange to a man known as the "cats are profits", a woman known as the "show all profits", a man and a woman referred to as "a cat show"; the old man known as the "old wave-Tao", the old woman known as the "old Peach." Began to call it is not used to these, then at least at quarrels are so called, but added has gradually adapt to called into the "show all benefit," the. PM to visit botanical gardens, said to be China's largest tropical botanical garden, there will be dancing the grass, but because the afternoon-day heat, Codariocalyx motorius wait senselessly singing on people seems to have been insensitive, little movement; saw the prestigious Antiaris - curare wood, because in a child, watching the border of Yunnan has long been known anti-special stories of his great poison effect, so enthusiasm for the mission to explain the faithful, so to accompany thought I was Quanpei. However, there should be a female tour guides are all wearing national costumes, Dai women wear are very slim, short upper body, lower body skirt tight package, feet, a pair of small slippers, the overall view colorful and graceful stature, so have chosen Singapore Airlines of this style uniforms.
The weather is still hot, to forget with a parasol, cursory elusive escape the sun.
Today, the most memorable eating pineapple, very sweet, and absolutely no salt, pineapple and eat when I get water to drink, go anywhere to buy one, the result a little get angry.
July 7 day tour today is China-Burma border, passing through the town of Menghai King octagonal pavilion, daluo border markets, one tree forest, Burma pillar, Myanmar, doors, etc., can daluo boundary river rafting, shore side of the the Myanmar side is China; can also look at a number of self-financed items, such as Shemale performances, Southeast Asia and Russia, gorgeous dancing performances, etc.; the most interesting is a magic cottage, which is home to strange colored people, the "bird man" -- Men can only be sat in the tree shacks to sleep, unless the wife stabbed him with a bamboo pole down to accompany sleep, or else life may well not have any opportunity to sleep lying down; the "natives" - to eat clods calcium, with black mark against primer teeth Guchi, pendant Canada fall lobe, eating strange, like chewing betel leaves; a long-necked tribe "Adam" and "chalk" family - annually beginning at age six, adding to the neck of a bronze ring, life does not pick, in order to prevent Tribal fighting was arrested and beheaded dozens of people are now surviving because they are only a dream girl to marry a man of them, less than a dream, like it can not be together (I am afraid lie is contrary to the belief in the tribe ) and therefore very difficult to continue breeding; a "pull Ku" family - the widow who could steal at night up pound m, that is to invite a man's secret signal, interested people can go to bed since her house, and there are food and shelter, are readily available; there is a knife down the mountain on a sea of flames can be a "Jingpo," With courage, you can marry 78 wives is not illegal.
Burma has almost been assimilated Chinese RMB GM, streets everywhere in Chinese identifies the stores, according to China Mobile and Unicom to make no mistake, people here say that the basic Chinese language, watch Chinese TV programs, literate can fancy instruments, to write Chinese characters. But in the Sino-Burmese friendship large urn of the store (Myanmar imports and exports must pass through all the attractions shops), I sell things, and some young men chatting and found that their culture is very low, do not even know how to "financial" "investment" these concepts, They say who can marry more wives is the ability to learn useless.
In the anti-drug exhibition was informed that Myanmar is a military and political unity of the country, the highest leader is a military leader (Senior General Than Shwe), the highest government agency is like asking, "State Law and Order Restoration Council."
Wofo Myanmar early this year, spreading from Thailand shipped, it was said that time the most efficacious, everyone lined up seeking to sign. I am able to get a good sign, was received by the enchant monk there, and then reverently donated one hundred dollars, a column on the high-Xiang, able to leave.
July 8 hot weather made me feel tired. But I never thought that this is the trip where I can feel the temperature of the last day of summer.
Today, go to virgin forest park. Let us look at the beast of prey show, the tiger lion has already adapted to the cage with little room for turning the situation, but also pulled out to do a variety of performances, is very poor; black bears are walking upright, the nose has been pierced rings, a chain to pull a photo to go with the visitors, I hugged and I are as tall as the black bear, very docile, I even feel sad; a variety of impure only black dog, you can actually read and write and count: In the "Xishuangbanna Forest Park" in allowing visitors shouted the word trainers there is no hint that he will be able to put out the word Diao; 10 below is calculated tourists shouted 1 +3, it can Diao out of four, and then bark four tones can be so training really too smart.
There are national performance and Dai splashing water carnival, it was changed into the Dai clothing, immediately under the pot of cold water was poured Doutou, summer heat all evaporated.
Access to local forests walk through crowded in upon each cool many, went to the hillside portion of Plank Road is full of bamboo strips Dacheng, elastic good, do not enjoyable. I pass an emergency line, get rid of all the tour, the first piercing the forest, bought a pineapple drink and so on, very cozy. Fleet sky dimming, ferocious winds, torrential rain an instant, either go first down to rain, splashing water but can make up the carnival.
That night, left Banna, fly to Kunming, and then rushed to the railway station, take the night sleeper to Dali.
Rushing for three days, every night chatting with the old teacher, and she claims to insight big long, but I came to assume lonely heart. In order to always walk the world alone seems passing away of chic, feelings are always want to homing. Qu Wang Dali lying on the train, I think of tomorrow morning 6:00 arrival could not rest and stay, but also continue to "travel" very bad mood, sleep a heavy heart.
At 5:00 on July 9 wake up, ready to wash off.
6:00 arrival, not yet dawn, Bai them to stay were all dressed in costumes, girl guides, dimly seen sheets of paper is my name, then stand in front of her pointing to my own, so she lead me to to sit down next to a common room, explaining that there are a few of the group were late, the train and car ride over, we expect to leave here at eight, directly visit the ancient city of Dali, as well as Chong Sheng Temple, Butterfly Spring in the afternoon tour Erhai Lake, night in order to go to a hotel. - Guo Buchu I expected.
SHE stood over and over the lobby of the Super Star, or else Dao Lang's song "impulse to punish," hear me spent physically and mentally. Nearly two hours, I sat at the head stunning startling manner. Do not Shuibu Xing, 8 were finally up. Breakfast room we have a brief conversation, there were four university students in Nanjing, childlike face, the posture Lengao; there are two mother and daughter from Hangzhou, haughty disregard of others, laughing; the other two are a study in Guangzhou, Hainan sheng, and I about the same age, temperament is pretty congenial.
Dali is known as "romantic," said. Shimonoseki regional wind, breakfast already felt; spend more on the customs area, did not go; Cangshan perennial snow, did not see, I just feel Cangshan Montenegro, hidden in the mist-mist present; Erhai Mochizuki naturally did not encounter, afternoon in the "starfish number" cruise the upper reaches of Lake Erhai four hours long, not only seating is limited, but also to endure wind, sun and occasional rain, dressed in the ancient city bought the shawl can not keep warm, and just blown back pain , but there is no any good landscape: water is yellow, the mountains are black, "three tea" show, did not thirst-quenching. Just want to go ashore as soon as possible, eat and go to sleep.
Dali in charge of receiving our driver ahead of tour guide can say that because Bai regard the man known as "A Peng," a woman called "Golden Flower" (a good woman can be called the Golden Flower), we put the name of the driver is called the bell bell A Peng - strange. Bell E Peng told us a few bad news: Lugu Lake is best not to go, and landscape in general, roads difficult to follow, the most important thing is the rainy season for several days after rains, mudslides at greatest risk, the car is washed away every year, and in the newly settled local drivers are usually only willing to run the line, the rainy season will not go; also because of heavy rain a few days before Tiger Leaping Gorge landslides, and boulders smashed a Santana, a few of Shanghai one death and four injuries, has Travel ... ... close to the team, these are the items on my itinerary, I would immediately contact the travel agents in Kunming, to verify the situation and immediately decided to cancel a two-day trip to the lake - there is one main reason is that where to live in residential areas, there is no separate toilet.
In fact, these days go to see all the legendary beauty of actually middling, travel was worn away. Chung A Peng said that the beauty of this lake lies in its original and its folk customs and scenery to the election season, the folk are now also very commercial. But many people believe that marriage is the Moso people go who wants to go can be, it is wrong, that not a free prostitutes it? The fact is not so: take the marriage is based on emotion, is love, and then secretly go to young men and their sweethearts spend the night, we should quietly leave before dawn, is to avoid being seen. And if a woman is not single-minded, allowing more than one man was walking marriage, the same stigma attached to it. Take marriage means not to form a stable conjugal model, male back to the man's family and women stay women home, their family members to maintain their own stability, and birth of a child by the woman's family (mother, uncle, mother's sister) raising the man's just that sometimes go to the woman's family help out.
July 10 morning, we take the car clock Epeng Lijiang, on the road again inevitably to "rolling stores" rolling stores these days, at least twice a day, it seems to be a local travel agent to the rigid arrangement, is not the intention guides, tour guides and drivers only Check In Zhengdian parking fees, but also signing cross to travel agents, it does not quite induce us to buy things, regardless of Myanmar jade, or Yunnan medicine and tea.
At noon arrived in Lijiang, settled in Kaidi hotels, accidents, clean room facilities, spacious, and finally can have a good rest.
Afternoon walk to the city, stone paving, water hand in hand, these days the first time I felt this was worth coming. Old Town of Lijiang ancient city of Dali is also far more beautiful, quaint, clean, contend. Walked Square Street, there was then it began to rain, deserted to become scarce, I was happy together. Walk a street section, any strands of rain drift wet my jeans legs and sneakers and did not want to go back. Of shops, each has its own characteristics; bridge Guan Yu, fish, and Huan-ran complacent.
That very night, rain is so heavy, the night would like to visit the ancient city of Lijiang, and they can only give up the idea.
July 11 After breakfast drive from Lijiang to Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture was renamed Shangri-La Zhongdian County, on the way overlooking the "Yangtze River First Beach", to say that if in the air, look to see the Three Parallel Rivers, the Jinsha River south to the Here the winds northward, so that "the Yangtze River First Beach." Tiger Leaping Gorge is inaccessible. Along the Tea Horse Road is, of course, not so beautiful and romantic, but it is that the "Yunnan-Tibet Highway" this issue, this is really a "jolt dirty road", not all new highway repaired, we are old and the new road interspersed Ji Xing, Britain was one internal organs are in dance.
Access to Tibetan areas are marked by a White Tower Block, is said to be a monk seal bone relic. Tibetan house preference ladder, many houses outside wall Chazhe; even vertical walls above the windows have作成trapezoid; even the vertical windows, but also portrayed as ladder frame.
Zhongdian county town is very run-down, it seems the main road called "road march" because the rain seems muddy, there is no ounce of "Shangri-La" should be a beautiful charm.
Lunch came to the Tibetan style garden, architecture is quite distinctive, richly ornamented, craft exquisite, even though only a restaurant. Dishes of unexpected color, flavor and taste, simply did not expect this is a team northwest Yunnan Tibetan restaurant, but rather a name of the capital restaurant was surprisingly delicious, let's at high altitudes in the cold and rain rolling finally got a hint of warm meaning and satisfaction.
A trip is known as "Little Potala Palace," said Karma Dan ~ Songzanlinsi (Yunnan's largest Tibetan Buddhist temple). Appearance of towering mountains, solemnly gorgeous, Temple claustrophobic, dark, quiet, the air was filled with a strange taste.
The way a lot of selling knives, and different from our common decoration, where Kazhuo knife actually really cut iron! Because the aircraft can not carry on and checked, I had to hold back the hands of the dig to the wallet.
To see a few so-called Tibetan mastiff, Weidun shape, dirty fur, droppings everywhere, drinking rainwater and eating thin soup (not as good as hogwash). Heart Suanse - so alive, why are we a being?
Finally went to the much-anticipated according to La Prairie "Napa lake" - the muddy grassland, horse manure everywhere, no offal, like in-depth grassland, only the horse to enter, and that horses, very dirty, in addition to be able to rub a mud, I am afraid there is the opportunity to recruit a lice. Observation distance, the beautiful Shangri-La Yeah, you in the end is where? Grass is less than the ankle, flowers without color, mountain flat, water shadowless - perhaps during the rainy season is not a good time? Maybe we missed with the Shangri-La's shengjing?
Stay overnight in Zhongdian, a small hotel, dressed in our summer living in the 10 degree Celsius room, no air conditioning - is fortunate to have blanket.
July 12 along the "Great Britain dirty road", we return to Lijiang from the Shangri-La, passing Diqing airport, that you can fly directly from here in Lhasa, two days per week with flights from far, as long as flying for two hours. In fact, very close to sea level, and really should be from here to Tibet, but also live up to run the trip so far. Tibetans are said to look down on Tibetans here, after all, is still in Yunnan Well, is not authentic Tibetan.
At noon back to Lijiang, does not rain, the sun shown great promise, and I feel cheerful.
And the room completely faithful in wandering in the city, regardless of commercial streets, alleys, or residents, are gurgling water, road road hand in hand, cozy and pleasant. Bought a lot of Dongba characters painted on vest and silver jewelry, looked at "yimiyangguang" the shooting, the tasted walk away Baba, the best dish to eat is the street where the tender corn, a money, sweet sweet, still cherish the memory.
To the beginning of the night, taking a seat of a waterside restaurant, watching WATER LANTERNS and drift downstream, against the background of the bustling tourist face, and Hainan's friends chatting, sharing the ancient city of Lijiang night rhyme style. Really has been the happiest days of one night.
July 13 morning to get up, the whole pack a good morning, Deng Yulong Snow Mountain in the afternoon I will be separate from the group, direct flights from Kunming, Lijiang, night non-stop to Beijing. Really want to linger for some time more in Lijiang, but the scenery all the more necessary to love Xiang Pei. I said to myself silently that I would bring him back, come back to see you, the beautiful Old Town of Lijiang.
At eight, we reached the Yulong Snow Mountain big cableway station waiting for a train bus-only lanes, the temperature a little low, gloomy days, down. Coming down from the bus, cable entry has a long row of the team, the tour guides ran to help their members rent cotton-padded clothes and oxygen bottles. 've Been here more than 3000 meters above sea level, due to bad weather, some cold. In the finer the strands of rain drift, I hesitate to forward to if they would want themselves armed to the teeth, but the thought of newly settled User said, were able to wear short-sleeved snowball fight on the snow-capped mountains, I bind tightly to their shawls, did not want to cotton-padded clothes, but also did not want to oxygen.
Great ropeway has send us to an elevation 4500 meters, along the way clouds and mist, tall and straight from the towering pine forest up on the solemn Liaoqiao glaciers. When the next cable car, probably in the 0-5 degrees, sleet, as well as Bing Zha. Out of the cable car station, but also climbing up more than 100 meters, in order to warm a bit, I step wooden ladder on the Jixing forgot to lack of oxygen, only go flustered asthma. A lot of people leaning against the railing side of oxygen, I have also Huanguo Lai a break for a while. Braved freezing rain, jog trot road. The mountain rocks, ice cubes are not allowed to touch and carry, but many people still went to col go scrimping some "ancient" Bingzha play with.
Line of sight can not and far can be seen only near white glaciers and other dark of the mountain form a contrast clear, do not see the peak, "fan steep", do not see the legend that the seated Buddha statue, but do not see how to become a snow-capped mountains a, "Yulong."
When I boarded the platform, when the Peak, elevation is 4636, this is probably my highest point of this life had passed. Under the rain and snow bigger, I dressed in a single unlined pants plus a cape, but fortunately no wind, but we can not stay a long time, I quietly said to myself, it is now at 10 o'clock on July 13, 2004 minutes, I stand the highest point in his life on, and remember this moment.
Down very rapidly, and in Yunshan Ping lunch near the cableway station, in the baishuihe, Ganhaizi meadow on the camera, take tickets back to Lijiang, Lijiang airport, rushed to sit four points of the plane, five points to reach Kunming, ... ... In this series of activities, it seems that all run down. 5:30, time to stand still. I've got more than 20 o'clock ticket back to Beijing, but also can not do check-in, no place to sit. I like nothing can do nowhere else to go jobless, like dragging a box sitting on the windowsill outside the terminal building in Kunming, I recall a few hours before the mountain scenery, seems to have years. I sat quietly, like the glass windows inside a dust photos.
20 degrees of Kunming, is still coolness blowing and gloomy sky suddenly torrential rain. The strands of rain drift into a rapid-screen, all cars will come to the compartment behind the rain the sound seems to Geyuan the human voice, I still sit, stand before the eyes of its eye on the clock tower, will set the grid that moment would be my remember to stay in the "Kunming" two characters on the left in the tower is a pointer to a pointer on the ... ... 7:30, I stood up, a final glance at "Kunming", and looking at the Kunming night rain, walking into the terminal.
8:20, the aircraft did not take off, 246 passengers and unrest, because the first 247 passengers on a check-in and consignment procedures have been slow to show up. 9:00 sharp, when all the strong protests, the machine broadcasts again sounded: The last flight, a passenger, but the weather because of air traffic control, they can not take off. 9:30, outside porthole is still Kunming night rain, I have not left.
At 1:30 on July 14, I went back to Beijing. Within 24 hours, I climbed the mountain has an elevation of 4636, but also down to the North China Plain, but also what is heated from near zero to near 30 degrees - a good hot air Yes, I finally returned to the summer. Beijing days of rain, but still is so hot.
Home, can have a good sleep, close your eyes, I saw the tropical Xishuangbanna, Lijiang quaint, solemn glaciers, saw the bell tower outside of Kunming Terminal ... ...
