Our original plan is to Tiger Leaping Gorge Tour: From the drive to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge Tour on the timing of 2 hours or so, and then immediately drove to the Shangri-La. August 14 11:15 am hours, when we arrived at the town bridge and was told that due to road cave-ins, cars can not reach spots - Tiger Leaping Gorge bottom.
Since we did not do anything until the walking tour to prepare, and my heart do not want to abandon the Tiger Leaping Gorge Tour, indecision, 10 to groom a leap in the previous month, it is recommended to go horse riding on the tiger jumped into the Haba Snow Mountain, and repeated assurances 5,6 PM o'clock to return to the town bridge. In the groom's instigation, we decided to come to a Tiger Leaping Gorge "corruption tour", a 3, hired three grooms and three horses set off, leaving the driver waiting for us to come back the town bridge.
At this point the sky it began to rain, God seems to deliberately want to test our determination to visit Tiger Leaping Gorge by how much. First-hand umbrella with one hand and saddle, along the Tea Horse Road started the journey. Us through the Haba Snow Mountain, said to a thousand years ago, Princess Wen Cheng is along this ancient road into Tibet. The so-called "Road" is indeed far-fetched, I really appreciate the words of Lu Xun's talk about it: this world would have no roads, people walk more naturally formed road. Along most of the less than one meter wide, the narrowest, less than a foot, this foot is outside the cliffs.
This horse seems that we will make fun of people, because both sides of the gravel road less, old love walking along the outside, on horseback, body almost vertical cliff in the same plane. Coupled with wet weather, followed by the way its thrilling index increased. Fortunately, all the way beautiful, but also Gean viewing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, feeling pretty cool, you can temporarily forget the fear. All the way also continued to use "infinite beauty in the Xianfeng" to comfort themselves.
In this way, a march in the rain for half an hour, nearly 13 o'clock, came the "Naxi Ya Ge." This is a walk-off for the inn offers visitors small, only two foreigners. Each of us ordered a bowl of noodles tomato scrambled eggs, and foreigners drink and chat. They are university students from France, a French company in Guangzhou internship before returning to complete their planned many years of Tiger Leaping Gorge walking tour wish.
After lunch, the rain has stopped. But it is more dangerous the road waiting for us. Reach the top, before there is a well-known to thriller "28 Shui." According to groom say, here and there, only 24 Shui, in order to facilitate tourists, in more than 10 years ago, once again added a four Shui, is to make way for more and better to go. God, this "28 Shui" has been thrilling enough, I can hardly imagine, the original 24 Shui is how dangerous!
Fortunately, we have finally conquered the "28 Shui" in the 14 o'clock came to the kinds of Peak. Here is the best place to bird's eye view on the Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a good place to enjoy the Yulong Snow Mountain. Tiger jumped stone looming, and could hear the roar of rapids, Yulong Snow Mountain seemed close at hand. Enjoy the scenery Well, take a look at the time 2:15 is a return to the town bridge, or continue to move forward until you come to Tiger-hop rock? Back, is definitely back with great regret, how many people feel the tiger jumped stone to go and spend a couple of days, or even take a certain life-threatening, 20-km walk; continue to walk, I am afraid not enough time, but also can only walk downhill. Heart is extremely contradictory hesitated for two minutes and decided to take a risk and can not go back with regret.
Say that the mountains easy, downhill, not to mention the mountain under the rain, down the mountain is twelve of the dangerous, the daughter can only rely on it step by step groom walk down the arm. Time passed a little bit of land, multi-step down, and my heart, the more inexplicable hint of tension and fear, not knowing when to reach the tiger jumped stone, but not sure about tonight, can return to the town bridge. But in order to be able to personally feel the tiger jumped stone, can only bite the bullet, they threw to continue moving forward.
16:15, after two hours of walking, we finally came to the valley. Stand away from the tiger jumped stone 2, 30 meters far from that moment, all the tension and fear have been washed in front of the spectacular scenery without a trace. Overwhelming torrent, along with ear-splitting roar, beating the boast of the pack, suddenly standing in the river tiger jumped stone, thrown intermittent waves, the air was filled with mist. Can think of adjectives, piled together, not be overstated. It simply shocked!
Adventure wonderful in the sense that you do not know when there will be surprises. As the air filled with mist, the sun's oblique, the river surface suddenly put up a rainbow! Oh, this is God know that we gone through thousands of insurance, gave us a special gift do? Stone next to the tiger jump, we actually forget the time, a wait almost 1 hour.
The sky gradually dimmed, a matter of time has passed 5:00, which really alarmed the next. Quickly and our chartered driver link directly rushed to the Shangri-La intends to find another car, so he rushed to the Shangri-La to join with us. Can be the driver insisted, "according to the original way back, do not believe that anyone, half-way not to make any stay, very dangerous, and then later I will wait for you to." From 11:15 am departure, arriving on the Tiger Leaping Gorge, we have It took 5 hours, such as the then backtrack, but also more than 5 hours. Now days, it began to rain, it seems that God also tests us. We hired the groom to help a driver, about 40 years old, dark skin, mouth beard, arm tattoos, stopped beside an old jeep, a look at the cold heart of the half of it urges. Stone from the tiger jumped into the car pass Shangri-La also need 4-5 hours to think about our personal life in the hands Zheliang three broken cars and him, and that 4-5 hours of the night road, I do not know what will happen " accidents "and the" story ", the result will slash. However, in a dark rainy night, in the dangerous mountain road, twelve to go 5 hours, then why not "accidents" frequently, the probability of survival can be? Time went by in the past, the sky darkened little by little, the fear of a burst a while to hit me. Life I have never tasted the taste of such a fear. Canyon bottom, we hesitate to discuss, consider a half an hour, exactly speaking, is the suffering of 30 minutes. Backtrack final decision on press, such as the Inn on his way to see and then make their choices. Was later proven that this is the most sensible decision.
All the way back on the road, and my heart apart from the tense, or nervous, have no time to enjoy the view. Jommo gone more than 1 hours, 7 o'clock came to the "Tea Horse Inn." A look at the yard has more than 20 visitors, but also half of the foreign friends, where they talked and laughed, the atmosphere is very warm and harmonious. To see us, inn-keeper, "Naxi mother" immediately welcome in the ranks, his face filled with a sincere smile, and there is no disguised goodwill. 1 See Cijing, suspended in the throat, mouth of the heart at last fall down, feeling like a leaf found in the open sea ark.
Mama Naxi side of the hot tea for us for us to settle the final three beds. Before dinner, and finally, and our drivers pass on the phone and let him be assured that the next 11 points to meet us. Dinner is eaten in the courtyard, head Star, in the face of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain sunset and feel like what came from hell to heaven, and I feel particularly happy and feel very cozy.
The next morning, 8:01 off, again set foot on the return. Because there have been the experience of the first day, and then risk the way, they can not feel nervous, the way chat is the wind. Another exciting adventure tour in the sense that you can never predict when it will be thrilling place. Just as I was with my daughter, easily sermon: "Babe, you see, my horse likes the edge of the cliff ... ..." "go" word has not exit, I feel what the horse left rear tilt it down to the edge of the cliff just to hear back exclaimed soon as the groom. Horse's left rear foot on the original of the scarification, the kick Caikong of. My groom has employed the body's effort, a horse-drawn back to the right way. Rolled down a cliff to see the soil of my scalp felt a pang to numb, and could feel cold sweat after the DC and back. It survived, there must be after the blessing, I said to myself silently self-comforting Road.
Approaching foot of the mountain, we encountered a groom's son, on the road Shetan selling drinks, Zhengdian little money to supplement tuition. I let my daughter and that he formed a needy object in order to express our feelings of surviving a thanksgiving.
Until 11:30, we finally returned to the bridge the town allowed to gaze longingly into the driver waved to us. He sat in a Jetta car, like returning to their warm home. This time Tiger Leaping Gorge 24 hours, can be described as a thrilling, unforgettable 24-hour, an experience of a lifetime, an experience of the deepest sentiment of life and death.
