And I went to Zhu at six in the morning of the Lijiang bus station.
Bought the day with early morning bound for big long-distance car, and then encountered a couple from Norway: Yan Si and ling. (This of course is to give them to me and Zhu from Chinese name, listening to the good stuff)
Yansi 54 years old, very old manners, network cheek beard, a pair of piercing blue eyes full of wisdom. He is the Norwegian television station a well-known editor is also a writer, has written a book on the Far East and western China book.
May-ling, 50 years old, and yes I have seen in this age is also a woman of such beauty. Like she was a young man must be peerless elegance.
She is a painter, in Norway, they are already grandparents had.
Saw them, he realized it taste life seems to matter in the realization of a relatively poor place.
From Lijiang to large with a minibus, and only I, Zhu, Yan Si and ling, and another eight foreigners, are people on foot Tiger Leaping Gorge.
By MAONIUPING, up a lot of local people, the way up in the past, more and more steep mountain road, so I very much regret buying tickets when the conductor asked me whether or not to insurance, I was actually thinking that no, they say not to the .
At an altitude of 3800 on the road, drivers who travel the ground, many times I actually thought we were sitting outside the car when the tires turning out in the road. Distant snow-capped mountains, and we seem to be parallel to the same height, and even the clouds are we floating over the hillside road.
The sky more blue, the sun more and more dazzling, everything seems to be increasingly untrue.
I and Zhu said that this is a car bound for heaven.
Our line of 12 people (10 foreigners) from the Great began a journey on foot Tiger Leaping Gorge.
First out of one kilometer and a half, and then to a new ferry boat over the famous Jinsha River. Abnormal rushing muddy river. The other side is almost vertical cliff, for there is no psychological preparation for me and Zhu is undoubtedly a great test.
Behind is the Jinsha River, crossing our boat, have returned. There is only one road, a need for hands and feet of the climbing road.
Some locals, holding a small pony in Yunnan endemic, all the way coming after me. Trekked Hainan Li Mother Mountain I, if there is a pair of shoes suitable for climbing, then many will be easier. The day, we began to climb when the It is more than a little afternoon sun especially strong, dehydration is very severe. did not expect, Tiger Leaping Gorge, first of all gave us such a Xiama Wei.
Zhu, 50 kilograms of backpack weight, he brought a lot of things, is unnecessary, at least in the foot in the.
Halfway to hear him above me turned into a small backpack he immediately told me to put my backpack also. Such a road and went two-thirds of my shoes are too slippery , but unfortunately had to be launched.
Colt is really terrible, ah, on my camel fast hill-climbing. My heart can not bear to some, thinking that this time if there are carrots like, and I must make good Treat it!
Who is certainly unexpected!
On the road at the summit, as many as one of the cabins sell Coca-Cola!
We like to see the civilized world where the only thing we need items that can not meet the language to tell.
Drinking a Coke, sat stone head, a group of people now have forgotten which is where the country.
Colt at the side of the dry land of gnawing rare grass.
Unfortunately, I do not carrot.
Over the past pat horse's face, it winked.
16:00 more to Tina's (in the Gorge Hotel)
I, Zhu Ling Yan Si and prepared to stay overnight, while the rest of the foreigners only rest a moment on another road.
I ate dinner here and Zhu famous black-bone chicken.
Before us is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, sitting in Tina's small courtyard, smoking, drinking coffee, Nestle brought Zhu. , And Ling Yan Si can chat, watch a little bit of darkening sky. Night time sky stars, as if asking for could be off.
When such a general thought, fills everything can all be forgotten, and eyes only to this mountain, this water and the families.
The next morning, rain. Mountains, the weather unpredictable. Yulong Snow Mountain, pointing boss Let us look at the Peak of snow fall last night. Snow, and a film is really very different from yesterday ah.
From Tina's to Halfway, need to use more than four hours on foot.
At 8 o'clock we proceed along the Tiger Leaping Gorge is a section through which the most beautiful journey, winding dirt road, less steep hills, halfway Fei Liu landslide and Great Falls. Mountain full of rocks in green, or a variety of colors of trees, the ancient Tea-Horse Plank Road.
Halfway to the time, nearly 13 o'clock.
Serious decline in physical strength, hunger, the feeling of unlimited expansion. I order a hot and sour beef, Zhu asked for a fried beef wire.
Ling Yan Si and placed in front of a lot of vegetables and meat dish, so we very much doubt whether they could finish.
Give us Duancai the Naxi girl saw me and Zhu Wu Zhuolian laugh on. Because in the room when set, Halfway Feng and Zhu boss thought I was a pair of children, asked us to bed or to bed. Ling Yan Si and seems to want to face up to the Yulong Snow Mountain has a good view of the room, which is a luxury bed.
I immediately chorus Zhu said, no, no line ah, we are all sleeping with their own, not a house.
Goodfellas, Zhu said, sexual passion, that where the line ah!
I said is, that get you into trouble!
Feng bosses that they are a group of people laughing, you may like our children so lovely people, in their rarely seen here. (Due to the face of such a beautiful snow-capped mountains and the Tiger Leaping Gorge rapids, people's original desire to be completely wake up, do you think about it, can the foot of Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge edge of love, how is not easy, and is to go through a difficult The trek can be completed thing. This is purely in the city completely different.)
After dinner, sit on the large terrace chatting, smoking and drinking coffee.
In front of us has been the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, snow-capped, was misty, can not see its true face. Our snow-capped mountains behind Bach, Tiger Leaping Gorge is in the middle of these two Pichu a breathtaking mountain valley rushing down. Sound of roaring water, the distance of two black hawk circling, suddenly flew over the mountainside, and sometimes rushed down canyon.
We are sitting on logs, stump on such a chair, not very cold days, but the strong winds. Blown Halfway Para Para yellow of that side of the fluttering in the breeze. Here is the edge of time if we stop here, like a stay in a forgotten shore. Past grew weaker and weaker, memory, more and more blurred, the only way in front of the hearts of all is the long-standing dream of longing, perhaps this is my Shangri-la, my Shangri-la. Share of the quiet end Youyuan is that some people are unable to meet their life dreams.
In the Halfway yard, there is the wall that says Heroes.
Zhu did not know the meaning of their heroes on the temerity to fill in his name, just write my name on, when suddenly someone shouted upstairs to say, it is snow-capped mountains to climb back Bach signatures!
If you have the opportunity next to the Halfway, saw Zhu's name and his name written behind only San Dianshui's my name, do not think that we have been to the Baja mountains ah! That was three days and three nights on foot to visit their own tents and sleeping bags dry food back and so on, to go through the test of glaciers and snow, sleeping in the no man's land.
I see heroes standings have been a lot of names, there is no way to get a few more.
Are brave man!
Halfway of the book, many touching words, record the Pacers their sweat and laughter. A variety of characters from around the world, can understand or read, are writing a dignified and solemn had happened. Mind share of moving.

When your shoes will be frayed when your sweat will be dried when on the road leave your ass countless stone marks Hakfway when you will understand the importance and the true meaning of Tiger Leaping Gorge
Another friend of Nanjing reads:
Sitting here, as if sitting on the edge of oblivion, so quiet and beautiful location, what is the Inn or the end result.
Late at night, I, Zhu Yan Si and ling, as well as a young man from Poland, a long time refused to go to bed, sitting in the wind on the balcony, which transcend time and space of the gathering do not know how many years can only be revised to The fate. Poland, according to Eric gives us a photo, digital camera, and then everyone left e-mail address.
Toyama became a Dai-color, are like a dream in our eyes, we are in such mountains, counting stars in the sky, Ursa Major constellation, Bear constellation, as well as the Big Dipper.
Here, I feel a part of my life and gradually regained consciousness, and gradually light up the sky like a star.
I can not sleep at night, I heard a great wind. Could not help but think of my parents, as well as friends. As well as the man I love, love my man. I am far away from their place, one where they can not think of dream. Those scores, seems to have blown over if this night, and then disappear.
The next morning, very early on up. After breakfast, we bid farewell to each other, and some people from here went to great tools, but we are the bridge to continue to walk to the end.
Climbed a mountain or in several after the trouble.
All the way down the mountain, after 28 Shui, winding down. Close to 13 o'clock, hurry to the Naxi people, I was extremely tired, legs playing Akira. Clearly seen that two stones, but the legs could not lift up people Jiugei tripped. Lumbar just threw a stone at the roadside.
The feeling of pain, Zuanxin a hit. Tears almost fall off.
I thought it finished the next.
Slowly activity a bit, but fortunately, there is no injury to the bones, struggling together, difficult to continue down the mountain.
If you did not die, it should still good to be alive.
To the Naxi people, see Zhu, and Yan Si-ling has to eat a meal. This felt a special pain waist. Chu asked for a large tube rolling oil rub, very effective, and actually stopped the pain. But the wound had swollen.
Down the road very well, and although they are also in the mountains, walk through, but not dangerous, the road is still a lot of experience coming from the bridge of the foot passengers, is the 89 were foreigners. In other countries, this is a very well-known hiking routes, the classic stimulus is said to be abroad on foot passengers to China must go after one.
No wonder the signs along the way, from the large with Road to the bridge, are the English instructions.
Thus the end of three days of the rendezvous where the bridge.
Zhu, Yan Si and Ling, than I am early to 40 minutes. In any case, Yan Si said I was a very strong Chinese woman!
Car Rental four of us back to Lijiang, on the road because of road traffic jams, Yansi get off directing traffic. On both sides of the driver to see if he is a foreigner, but also a serious and honest Mo Yang, heard him. Traffic is restored quickly, and Yan Si back, I said to him, are you really a realman.
Side streets in the ancient city of four of us parted, sometimes do not know what to say. Chu and I are to meet tomorrow to discuss good. Ling Yan Si and they would like to ask me to spend Ma Inn, I show days it, tomorrow I will see them again.
At that time I did not know Rock Bridge, the next day I was photographing, even Ling Yan Si and in their bedroom, opened a window screaming my name. The edge of such occasional case of, let's extremely pleasant surprise.
I and Zhu appointment meeting, but because of his hurry to leave, but only one of the muted rush.
People's fate, sometimes it is really hard to explain.
