7.24 We are starting from Dali to Zhongdian - Shangri-La ~ ~ desirable in Lijiang, with the innkeeper's daughter, chat up, I am very excited how the fantasy mountain meadow on how to impress me, that film did not develop to the Pure Land will be on how how to purify my soul ~ ~ might be out of pride in his hometown bar, that little girl told me Lijiang mentioned casually that there is actually nothing, but that is a few very well-known Tibetan Lama spin gold from straw only. . . Suspicion. . .
Comparing mountain bumps, although the master drive with caution, the turtle-speed ahead with the car, but the car tail Mix were all going to crash the top upside down, and the car staggered encouraging people to go to sleep, and when I woke up to see the bar should be is that the Nu River, No wind, waves, circuitous, collision, do not know how many reefs below, Mother Nature ah ~ ~ ~ ~ can not be conquered ~ ~ ~ through the reservoir and along the road to see red, yellow, purple small wildflowers scattered in the boundless wilderness of rivers and mountains slopes, the distance of the tall, cattle, goats and highland barley near Lijiang, compact frame and comparison, seems so expansively! Most of those sheep and pigs are black, the reason may be too strong ultraviolet light bar.
17:00 and more, we reached the "breast Hippo Store" was the name that is very scratch mouth, do not understand what it meant, then, to listen to tour guide said that in VII Songzanlinsi Dalai Lama was a child, often half a bottle of milk down into the river, the river turned into white, known as "breast", and is covered with weeds Natiao Inn in front of the river, in fact, can see the river only one meter wide, most of them in that man, half-high plants slowly flowing below. "Horse Shop" by definition from the Tea-Horse Road, Zhongdian as a transit point for one of the old trail, "Horse Shop" also came into being.
"Horse shop" is in fact a large wooden house, there's four courtyards, the master lived in that two-storey house, the courtyard leading to breast Hejian are of stone passage, lined with chic, low room, the window is blue, yellow window frames, eaves, on the Tibetan painted colorful designs, wooden wall texture is very clear, there is a thin layer of green roof, it is mysterious. . . Night we participated in the Tibetan home visits, woman Tibetan dance in general it, man is indeed a very bold jump, won the support of our foot-stomping bursts of sound, although some people complain about the commercial nature of the show too strong, and the people has not been so honest, and But I prefer to believe they are up the mountain sheep, wine singing in antiphonal style, in the alpine grasslands, chic dance steps to bring creativity into the Tibetan people, because they have loud and clear voice that can penetrate the hills, there are three bowls of the amount of alcohol to drink in one breath , as believed to be more happy, I can take them to pastures in illusion. . . Highland barley wine import more intense, including in the mouth is a sweet, unknowingly seven cups Xia Du, the Tibetan disco is really creative, we get knocked, "off their feet", and gradually, the steps are a bit crazy, a little messy in. . . Back to the "horse shop" on the unconscious. . . Miss the night view of the river breast. . .
7.25 Early in the morning "Mary" on the bully and that a few heads in the courtyard inside the small Black Cattle grazing, turning us stayed and woke up, the sun bright, I take advantage of the void, holding a clothing and wash the same as the country girls clothes gone, do not know why, I actually can not help but directed at unfamiliar visitors say "morning!" The country atmosphere makes me excited, I have the impulse to life here as "country girls"!
Morning we set out for Songzanlinsi, in fact, from the "horse shop" close to the door of the Potala Palace, stood a small holding to more than sheep sister, if you politely refuse to camera, then they would not smile, " I wish you have fun! "is probably that the magnificent Dianding to Xu is the pressure that low cloud, perhaps we have to climb a long staircase, always feel that there seems to far away from the earth, it is sacred, no one will loud noise. We followed a number of tour guides to listen to talks, but fortunately they do not regard it necessary for our gang of poor Mix guide fees. Gave me the deepest impression is that that picture is probably the Buddha to release souls from purgatory a monkey drinking an elephant, an elephant one Xinxiang Fo, they can be reincarnated, but the monkey did not wholeheartedly converted to Buddhism, it seems to have been hit hell , and felt quite justified. After we entered the main hall, and heard where the light is not blowing out a long, and too cautious, butter lamps in the dark is our mind can not concentrate, sincere and holy water to dip it, visited the Zhong Wei Buddha. Lama you live in "Ladies Do not enter", and Tibetan Buddhism here, pays great attention, many Tibetan families to see their sons to become monks, although Lama could return to secular life, but the result is that suffered from relatives and friends of the cold.
After lunch, we went to the Tianshengqiao, in fact, that foot has a natural hole, so that water before, is like a bridge, but there is a tree there are booths natural "bridge" only, there is no scenery to speak of, and is just another step closer with the blue sky only. . Lake does not belong to both the opening did not go into.
After dinner, back to the "horse shop", but also early yet, and Yunnan, the sun disappears only after 8:00. After the bath toward breast River, looked up and saw a full rainbow in front of the sun just shine on "Shangri-La" a few Tibetan hills, while the other a rainbow also "restless" At that time was very excited, too busy to think thin and dripping hair and clothes, but also a crazy pictures. . . And that number in the "horse shop" do not want to go hang out in Hong Kong travelers are holding beer, sitting in rocking chair on the right we "sit on the sidelines."
"Horse shop" where a home bar, and a few wooden tables on the floor leaning against the glass on the desk stacked a pile of thick books on architecture, there are two travel notes, there are languages, Japanese accounted for the majority. Which travels in a Chinese language institute a called "Daylight," a puppy, do not know where to run, now replaced by "Mary", but the door was "isolated" it is estimated that the bird had taken root啦Tibetan mastiff, each times we have gone through are "bored" to a roar, and Zhengou rare. . .
At night, no show of people piled into the bar, suddenly crowded. A Zhaoming birthday just days, we have this evening with her to a PARTY, is also deemed to programs for their own ~ ~ make a wish, Chuila Zhu, blessings, and so spectacular after all our "idlers" eating cake, drinking beer on the flash people I heard an opportunity tonight to give a certain person ~ ~ I decided to breast the river Zhuoge spent last night at the Shangri-La. Sitting in a chair on the river, and that talking to visitors from Hong Kong, and he does have the characteristics of Hong Kong, in particular, can be blown, holding a small cup of "highland barley wine," can be far apart to "sell from the atmosphere." And Hong Kong compared with the rhythm of a compact, there is indeed lazy, "Xanadu" make us a taste of island life away from the city and ~ ~ high temperature, when the high temperature warning Foshan, but ah! ! Are chatting when A Zhao and winnie are drinking Lingding Come Drink With Me, and nonsense, by a group of half human, half-carried to push to coax into the room, and later heard that this "row Shangri-La" in our regiment led to three The couple ~ ~ ~ ~ Zhengou drama of the other Hong Kong people to continue fishing for loach, technology is really good. Listen to them that the cattle owners favorite plants here, the other side of the river is a large wild garden in the evening scenery is beautiful! Unfortunately, tomorrow, leaving a ~ ~ do not know when another one for girls, especially "cheating" highland barley wine has come from, we will have room to go, and originally wanted to leave something in the Travels, the Ti Qibi have no idea yet unknowingly to fall asleep, may be too cold bar. . .
Morning at four o'clock, was stayed and woke up, that Hong Kong people are drunk, I heard that girls succeed in wine and "cheating" at hand. . . Travels to write does not become, this regret wait until later to make up bar ~ ~ MARY will be National Cheng Kung University in it, our next came here. . .
