In world city, a cursory look at the day's hard work, were prepared in advance. However, in the altitude sickness strikes, the body is still easily knocked out by it.
Originally scheduled for 7:00 am driving, the driver is said to disappear as soon diarrhea. In another similar to the Gold Cup cars have been set aside their Daocheng Paoyuan lovers a month, we were sold down the river to go to towns and the car, until 7:30 pm drive. a result, this is the beginning of suffering.
Winding road circled the car slowly, such as water buffaloes. A strong smell of diesel filled with cars. Crossed the folded mountainous (4298 meters), Al Gore Temple Mountain (4412 meters), scissors curved mountain (4659 meters), clamp, sa ( 4718 meters), we have a seat on the tough mountain put on hold. which actually bad car repair, even more nervous. very slow speed, strong sunlight, the uncomfortable motion sickness, coupled with altitude sickness, so that virtual scenery along the way too . 17:00, she finally saw the words "city of Litang in world" signs. We came to the Litang --- the famous high-City, 4014 meters above sea level. Tibetan and Italy as flat as a mirror of the caoba. when we are this car places Litang, tomorrow, when it tries, all of them have been very vulnerable to fatigue. long ago User warned not places Litang, altitude sickness is too strong. Likewise, we can not tolerate a splitting headache, Bulvchenzhong, take a deep breath are also inhibited do not live heart beat violently. hastily rented a ALTO taxi, the prices of 400 yuan package, 4 hours later, at 9:00 pm arriving Inagi. Thus, Litang in our first glance, the further away from us gone. we have to escape, it had refused to take the piece to be proud of a strong brand that we do not leave before the figure. Now think about it, is quite regrettable. After all, it may be I'll never come only once a city.
Inagi night, almost pitch-black one. Because of power outages. Yehaoyehao to cover up the dusty road, masks, hats are of no avail of our awkward figure. Vegetable Rice barely move, difficult to wash his face with hot spring foot, Meng elimination of the plateau response to swallowing pills, sleep!!!
April 26, 2001 (Inagi --- --- Aden Jiva 110 per ticket / person Tickets are 128 yuan / person tent places 20 yuan / person)
Aden Tibetan people four and a half hours of rugged mountain, passing through at the Geneva Township, Gong Ling Monastery, we arrived at three in the afternoon called "mankind's last Shangri-La" in Aden nature reserve. According to reports, "Aden" Tibetan is "toward the sun." Aden Nature tourism and opening up areas in order to shape forces contesting the product was composed of three peaks. This is the well-known Tibetan "Three presume the main snow-capped mountains" --- read Green Day Song Gongbu Gongga. 3 Santa year-round snow-capped peaks, echoed, encroaching upon the sky photo is breathtaking.
According to Buddhist texts "" Mi Ji shrine咱, mt "" record: the world's sacred mountains in Buddhism, 24, it ranked 11th place for the beam beings toward God Jide von Holy Land. Xiannai Ri, North Peak (Shi Yin Bodhisattva concept) 6032 meters above sea level , it seems Shi Yin Bodhisattva concept of meditation in the lotus, the hand-held Aquarius, by clouds came. Yangmai Yong Nam Feng (Manjusri Bodhisattva) elevation of 5958 meters, crystal clear, delicate and pretty handsome. Higashimine Xianuoduoji (Vajrapani) above sea level 5958 meters, vigorous fortitude, free and easy elegant.
In the familiar with such information, I with a mysterious cult, thousands of miles to the Gulf of Aden came step by step. Gnaw glance, no dreams of Aden in April of the state of the Shangri-La. Chosen this season to enter such a high - altitude region is our mistake. Hill has not yet green, the grass has not long, the water yet to flow, to spend has not yet opened. wind sandwiched dense snow, I did not penetrate the thick clothing. but actually, my spirit was so good . Yesterday, all the altitude sickness, in today's as if all is gone. two companions because of a headache at six more on who the next, and I and another companion Kobayashi, following the arrival in Aden had been nearly a month is not willing to leave Shanghai Xiao-girl, went to the Tibetan people at home. to go when the weather is too early to steep mountain can still be OK though. Tibetan-style houses divided into two levels, the lower overhead tied oxen and horses, put forage, wooden ladder to board, and the second layer is inhabitable place. counted among the living room or there is firewood, ceiling opened skylights, translucent to go smoke ventilation. next to it was divided into a bedroom or between the temple. we taste the butter tea, barley steamed bun, yak milk, roast beef slices are very Fortunately, the Almighty to accept, but also yourself beat butter tea. the family has no electricity, people of all ages so the whole family sitting next to the firewood. They speak the Tibetan whisper, curious little girl look at us, they bow their heads, and adults spoke a private message. They kept the delicious things to put before us. cordial atmosphere. I rely on the Tibetan side of Tibetan craftsmen build lockers next to a sail a sail watching the smoke slowly rising, drifting into skylights. ear next to those who know nothing of the language in the communication cyclotron. I wonder if this bell natural feeling. I do not like outsiders, this is not like a field, I sit here, I am a member here.
Back to the tent, the sky is already black. Path has been no trace. Our flashlight not help but to turn back please send us down the mountain the Tibetans. Strange mountain made me finally in sight, tight pulling the wizard's hand, not lax. down to the Ping Road, bid farewell to the Tibetans, he slowed down, the sky's l'etoile found from my so close. I am deeply suction cool air, stop, stare like a shady diamond sky Zhuiman like the stars. Aden night, yuk-yuk light.
April 27, 2001 (entrance - Chonggu Si - Luorongniuchang - Aden - Jiva mule in the previous 130 yuan / trip (80 Yuan / Shan mountains)
Search for Shangri-La to this day, this should be the search for paradise, round the hearts of the dream day. More a pity that, let's imagine that the season is not in the warmth of spring season. Beautiful magic did not experience the natural beauty only in the volatile weather, a look at three St. peak "Xian Nairi, Yang Maiyong, Xianuoduoji" in style, as well as holy lakes Zhuo Mala measures (pearl harbor) in Xiuse.
Intermittent mountain road, better place to be on their own under the mule. Buddha is said to throw three geo-stage, there are two white stone Buddha does not fall is that there are geographical; along the way from time to time to see the large and small Mani Dui, by the sixth mantra engraved scripture or the "Om Mani Padme Me," made of stone piled up. riding a mule into the mountains around us, we experienced a rain fine snow, sun winds test, crossing the thin stream of riverbed, withered branches of the shrub forest, towering ancient trees, flat open areas open toward the sacred mountains near. thank User predecessors taught riding (mule) experience, I have become handy in the mule's back, but the steep slope down when you walk, No steps on the gas surmise Shi Shi, always be reminded of this is at an altitude of 4000 meters of altitude. to Luorongniuchang. where you can view of the entire three St. peak presence. mountains and quiet, surging, snow accumulated product of the peak slightly showing his face was cloud cover. daylight fierce mountain breeze is blowing wind. mountains and silent, the earth speechless, people speechless.
Unfortunately, we feel physically inadequate longer follow the five-hour round-trip journey to the sea-colored sea of milk, so live Luorongniuchang abandoned plans to go home. Back Chonggu Si, then the 800 meters at the vicinity of the Droma Raco (pearl sea). Xiannai Ri Sheng-feng, under the sea like a pearl slender emerald, too busy but quiet, Mani Dui still streamer fly on. secluded quiet, too ubiquitous strong religious, San Hoi San Fung will be playing too mysterious and remote, if not present in front of me, but rather ethereal in my mind and soul on.
Chonggu Si is a rundown of the lamasery. Big and small stones and the original wood pile into such a simple temple, while the eaves and window frames are still decorated with colorful banners, paintings with mysterious patterns, but also there is an embedded deep niches of stone, actually seemed amiable lovely. At this time, the sky Piaoqi snow particles, there are green beans the size of the plateau and changeable weather, we walked down the hill on foot.
Back to the camp, watching the gradual cold days and four to take the air of the tent, the three of us decided to return to live Daocheng. Kobayashi, but intends to stay one night, following Xiao-live in Tibetan at home. Good luck to us that in the high winds heavy rain, the at 18:00 on a home by police vehicles (cars to the Jiva act).
This road, snow Piaofei quickly dyed white mountains and highways. From the talkative driver master Daijie. Zhaxi Ren Xiao Zhang master the mouth, we hear about the "Shangri-La," another version. It is said that inadvertent result of the crash that the pilot of Aden, in raising a good injury to leave the Tibetans when he heard they say, "Shangri-La", as follows: "Thank you, it is tough." was intended. which he mistakenly thought the place names here Therefore, "Shangri-La" was passed down to go out, become a paradise, the hearts of the meaning of the sun. meandering 34 km dangerous mountain path, because of their witty and talkative to become short and colorful. in their pointing, we also look at slightly a moment, "goalkeeper King Kong" (4500 meters) looks like. the mountains are a snow fluttering down to the recently-watt Township is sunset twilight sprinkled the earth, azaleas began to bloom in clusters and clusters to the brilliant. This way our regret to a minimum. While we do not in the best season to see the mountain flowers everywhere, the beautiful row of trees to make dye, but we also worship had three sacred mountains, in the sun, 3 Sheng-feng echoed, vertical sky, indeed intake breathtaking.
Tile in Japan, we have good luck come one after another. Dining room table the only guests, it is car rental from Zhongdian to Aden came two couples and the driver. Zheliang our way to catch a ride back to Zhongdian, even the Inagi do not have to stay, rest and so on directly to Zhongdian, Kobayashi join. 800 fare the night places green Aden, 20 yuan / bed. (If there are no bandwagon, there are shuttle bus to go back to Inagi Zhongdian, 168 yuan / person, departure time of uncertainty.)
