Pre-recorded Pushkin wrote a poem: all are the twinkling of an eye, everything will be in the past, and that have passed, and will become a warm and fond memories.
A time when the beginning of 2004 fall, but also to work for the season, so take this space excursion trip is essential. Shangri-La in Yunnan - Zhongdian, the yearning and Sichuan, "the last Shangri-La" - Daocheng curiosity, I decided to drive a self-help through the Sichuan-Yunnan travel routes of the Great Shangri-La. There are four major tourist trip: Inagi Aden, Shangri-La (De Qinmei where snow-capped mountains), Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the lake on foot. Autumn along the way has the vagaries of high altitude, snow-capped mountains and canyons style wonders, the magic of the religious practices and ethnic customs, colorful architecture, costumes and cuisine, all deeply attracted me. This full-line travel agencies running almost nothing, and, through the network can not find a full 18 days of the companion, and only their own Sheung say. In remote locations due to the difficult trip focused on the northern route, so I decided from the south of Sichuan, Yunnan, take one back to their own "southbound mind."
Hailuogou of sunshine and Glacier Peak Adventure
September 8 at noon flight from Xiamen to Chengdu (half of the amount 980 yuan), added to this procurement and the antecedents of some and the three companions (peer-six days) to determine matters relating to the following day chartered. In order to trip goes well, we spent six days at 5600 yuan (including two days back empty) packet of a South Korean production of off-road vehicles, master surnamed Liu, Tibet and other specialty lines running all year round. September 9 morning 9 o'clock, and three companions to meet for the first time riding a sport utility vehicle took off from Chengdu. The first destination is Hailuogou. Along the Chengdu-Yaan speeding along the 134 km expressway, through the Erlang Mountain Tunnel, along the Dadu River and fast-flowing road. At 16:30 arriving Hailuogou town where the Moxi. In order to facilitate sunrise the next day that the decision to camp on the 3rd night accommodation in scenic Golden Hill Hotel (bargaining between a standard 80 yuan). Scenic spot ticket and shuttle costs amounted to 110 per issue.
Hailuogou is Gongga slope glacial valleys, snow-capped mountains due to ditch development of the Gongga the largest, most East Asian locations, the lowest altitude glaciers named. Gonggar snow-capped mountains in the Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Luding, Kangding, Jiulong County 3, peak 7556 meters above sea level, known as "King of Shushan." Hailuogou Glacier firn basin is divided into large waterfalls and glacial ice tongue three ladder. Three features Hailuogou sunshine Jinshan, large ice falls and glaciers hot springs. Misses the trip because of the Ru Daocheng Buchaca hot springs, gave up the luxury of hot springs on the glacier.
In general, see the possibility of sunshine Jinshan is small, so the early morning of September 10 when the Jinshan hotel wake me up when the waiter, almost not believe it. But I have to jump up to the roof of the fastest platform, lucky enough to see the spectacular sunshine Jinshan - Gongga snow-capped mountains. Ah Gonggar snow-capped mountains, majestic, "Shu King"! When the golden dawn, as the first yarn, white and lightly covered in that holy Kamiyama forehead, Jinhui brilliant, a solemn eye-catching. Everyone Bing living breathing, concentration, quietly savor. Golden increasingly strong, the first yarn gradually extension, changes made Jin Pao, and that stalwart of the body wrapped in Kamiyama. Suddenly the whole snow-white radiance Gongga Kamiyama, magnificent glory. When this sacred moment comes, people cheer amazed, shutter flashes, film plummeted; I do blame the nature of the good fortune low cardiac go first, to pray for a safe journey and thank Kamiyama Kamiyama gift of luck. Living with female partners out of three minutes late, "Gold Mountain" has become a "Yinshan" endless regret.
The excitement with four of us decided not to go 168 yuan / person's rope, but directly along the promenade at the end of the glacier to see ice tongue and big ice-foot waterfall. We do not know at this point has been quietly lurking in the dangerous side, fortunately, are being turned away.
8 o'clock the whole car before proceeding to the cable car station, and then to give up the convenience of watching cable car ride to start on foot. Originally planned to realize in the past one and a half hours the forest walking trails, only 40 minutes to complete. While with the increase of altitude, I began to feel shortness of breath, mild head pain (altitude sickness), but continues to be the morning see the "sunshine Jinshan" inspire the excitement ahead. To see a large serac clusters, that magic of ice groove and serac clusters attracts us Yibubuxiang ago, far away from the safety of walking trails. After two or three hours jagged journey, watching the cars slowly moving his head a cable car, cable car on the right of people sitting by the regret (for they do not see the genuineness serac clusters and regret) the mood gradually to envy, because the undulating glacier walking difficult and strong sunlight reflection makes us feel tired. In a boundless glaciers on the first kick kick shallow to deep walked away, finally see the majesty of the Great Ice Falls. The height and width are up to more than 1000 meters of the Great Ice Falls, the world is indeed rare. More than happy with, facing the snow-capped mountains reflecting the glaring midday sun, I feel that both the cold and trapped him, headache intensified, in-place to sit down and do not want to move the.
My companion was divided into two sets of physical state of a good 2 move on, to the cable car to the top forward, and the other a group of companions and I decided to backtrack. In the companion's urging, I reluctantly stood up, every step, a slight move my forehead and felt his head on the sting. I suffer from altitude sickness when the glacier suddenly struck, forgot his compass, no cell phone signal, so I saw the vast expanse of the glaciers, bottom of my heart had a touch of apprehension: If you can not get out before dark to go in the minus N degrees Glacier will be frozen to death; now myriad of ice across the ditch to go back, can slide down if once, I guess we lose one of the. Peer led me to skip a step in a slippery groove of ice, each jump time, I forced open their eyes wide, lightly. Worse, the hunger and thirst followed, they always bring food and water have long gone. We are on the glacier around here to go to see, or a vast expanse of whiteness, and translucent rather sobering serac clusters.
At this time, the previous argument is also the way forward, and companions I suddenly understand that the moment we must concentrate all its resources can no longer spread attack. So said one of the companion pass words of encouragement, and decided to take his main line thinking, but also, and his bet can go back in 3 hours to go. Companion's confidence strengthened, and I carefully traced and discuss the possible footprints on the ground. We are no longer complain about less than a cable car ride is no longer complained of fatigue and hunger, regardless of dazzling snow-capped mountains reflective and thirsty, a little bit close to be in the right direction. Then trek for nearly three hours, crossing countless ice groove, and finally ... ... to see life - walking trails exports. At this time, altitude sickness caused by a more severe breathing difficulties and headaches, I Dakoutaikou to panting, turned around and weakly on the companion, said: "Thank you, a little later we went to fill cable car ride!" ... ...
Finally, due to dump heavy fog, in the end did not sit into the cable car. Glacier adventures and severe altitude sickness made me began to motion sickness and vomiting, to see a winding road on the nausea. Zhe mountainous climb, the faint cloud of snow-capped mountains to see the three round top, towering solemn, awe-inspiring. Finally finished in time before dark to reach 100 km of road xinduqiao living in Baccarat Hotel. (On a standard room price of 70 yuan)
5 a day crossing the Snowy Mountains
September 11, known as "the photographer's paradise" xinduqiao did not give me what left a deep impression. Probably because the relationship between the morning and cloudy day, probably because the scenery behind the Tibetan trip for the sake of better than this. There is only one known as Mo Mala Yangzom, and dark ruddy girl to see me in photography, helping to distant slopes are grazing yaks and horses pulling the tail down and the scene is quite interesting to catch up.
The Kham Tibetan, the Tibetan people who were living in agricultural areas and pastoral areas. Agricultural areas of Tibetans in order to grow barley, corn and other crops, mainly the economically more poverty, but a stable life; on the contrary, the Tibetan pastoral areas are "plants by neighbors", where migratory grazing pasture where the horses would go visit, I Atrium , the Dazhu tents, each ranging from tens to thousands of first plateau yak, net worth is a relatively affluent vagrant.
Tibetan children to see the roadside companion cute, with a photo, prior child the parents made it clear to up 1 dollar. Who would have thought, just want to leave, three long-haired young Tibetan dust by two motorcycle drove up, one blocking the avenue, asking for a handout. Claims and this camera will give children to 10 dollars, otherwise we keep pulling the door away. Amazed aside, even our masters are angry. After the companion has granted it a 5 yuan, that rogue, or always has the door. Master anger suddenly a step on the gas, straining a pull door, and sped away. The practice of highway robbery in broad daylight such an approximation allows us to reach for the future will be the first to confirm the price before the camera is really helpless.
In today's 450 km journey which to climb 5 Snowy Mountains. Winding mountain road, disk drive, the potential for motion sickness and altitude sickness an attack, makes me dizzy, his face and plainer, limb weakness. 11:00 too, 4420 meters above sea level, turned over the Temple Hill Yakou Gore came Yajiang. In the "Asia Song Cameroon" Hotel incomparably delicious taste of the "Elegant fish" soup. Ya Fish was born in the upper reaches of the Yalong, water Qinglie, fish Huanen, prepare a broth was the last choice. Soup Ruhou, resumed their progress. 4659 meters above sea level over the hills and mountainsides of the scissors curved purple wildflowers of the clamps pull mountain, we came to the "World High City" Litang County, Kham tour the famous Yellow Sect Tibetan temple, "often young Cole Temple." Majestic temple, the wall on the lap of the Baita beautiful multi-layered, like a group of white temple guards Golden Delicious. In the temple door, I am lucky enough to see that the funeral had just finished the Tibetans back home "when autumn living Buddha."
There are three monks with the spy's when a small fall of Buddha with a warm inviting me to come to his residence Tibetan story buildings. Buildings do not, the upper and lower layers, a layer of stacked wood fire, barley and other items, on the second floor is the living Buddha's room. Room, there is an old lady was the furnace where the fire, a great lama see the Buddha back to extremely deferential stand in next to the spy. Living Buddha is very young, 30 years old, and a look Fu Xiang, ear lobe large. The two sides sat down at the kang to discuss some simple and Zen Buddhism, Living Buddha introduce me to some of the views of Confucianism, he was very interested. Living Buddha Buddhism in India, seven-year study, the daily in addition to studying the Mahayana Buddhist temple, often also home to the Tibetan people to make some ceremonies for weddings and funerals. Then, I took out camera phones to the windowsill flowers on the camera, Buddha is very happy. He was equally curious about communications technology. Finally, the living Buddha presented a hada and gifts, and his rebate Hada, for I am a long life rope, and wrote a bunch of scripture to get safely to the temple, monks go to those schools.
Then visited the golden temple, they encounter the old seat of France sitting in tall Buddha, seeing his benign countenance, and can not help but smile. Old Buddha in my head branches sprinkled with water, gave me a hata department. (The next day when I was crushed to survive from the time of Aden, would like to thank the blessing of two living Buddhas, and Hada)
Guo Cacalia Mountain and Hai Zishan when sandwiched hail the sky it began to rain and snow. "Snow in July" also considered strange. Finally saw the lights flashing Inagi. That night we were staying at the magnificently decorated Tibetan houses PENG Song of the measures at home (P pairs of 60 RMB / Room). 1 meter tall mistress 80, so we called her "Gongga."
