From Lijiang to Zhongdian, although only 175 km away, but because of poor road conditions, narrow roads and rugged terrain, and we took almost more than four hours before reaching their destination. Zhongdian city into an impression of legislative change, we saw very orderly planning of buildings, stands in the road on both sides. Make you realize that being quiet, the implied a kind of ready to be launched exuberant vitality.
To force people in a cold morning, we arrived in Napa lake nature reserve. Napa lake, in fact, not a sea, but rather a plateau lakes. It is said that in spring and summer when the endless prairie, like a green carpet spread on the earth; however, it is now winter, appeared in front of you, is a prime wrapped blanketed by snow, and we wholeheartedly want to come visit, by the United Nations included in the endangered species, in well-protected black-necked crane, may be compelled by cold, they avoid each other, you sense of loss of loss. These come from faraway Siberia, "The Aviator", the annual September to March next year, most like to 3000-5000 m altitude marshes for the winter.
In addition to Napa lake, there is an elevation of nearly 3,700 meters Bita Lake, if the thought of this is known as "plateau Pearl" laudatory highland lakes to go if necessary to ride when the car, over grasslands, wearing Lin, cross streams, for those who live in a modern civilized society is indeed a key romantic trip (round trip of about five hours, not including walking included). In particular, Qian Ma on his way to hear loud and clear crisp Tibetan girls singing, you might think, the whole journey of hard work, have been double compensation.
Standing on the lake, looking upward, a look, and blue is the day, the clouds, white, blue is the T-shirt, green water, everything is so clear, fairyland, I believe much better than this, right?
To the "Shangri-La" and not to "baishuitai" will regret.
Baishuitai, another "fairy left fields," said. Because this was the seat of the Naxi Dongba cult practice Buddhism, but also the birthplace of Naxi culture.
Although there is only 100 kilometers away from Zhongdian, but we have spent a full day's work, most of which is spent on the road. That is because this section rugged trip go a lot or a dirt road, if not high art bold driver, I do not dare walk through the section of track.
Baishuitai 2,000 meters above sea level, looking up from below, heavily layered, bright white, like gods, like the artist must goods. Its causes is said to be due to calcium bicarbonate in water by sunlight, the decomposition reaction occurs, and then the formation of a white calcium carbonate sediments, cumulative, continuous coverage of the surface and finally formed a bizarre landscape of lava.
In Zhongdian, it is worth playing a lot of landscape attractions, such as the Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, Gedan Songzanlinsi, Tai Po Temple, Yangtze River First Bay, next to the hot springs. Jiang Junling the past, as large barrier, residents deal less with the outside world so that it is full of mystery. Today, it's the veil has been lifted softly, and forests and fields inside the mountain azaleas in the grasslands of the Pastoral, rivers flowing inside the clean and never have been contaminated with snow, all of this, continue to attract people to come to learn about full-bodied flavor of this piece of wilderness, "Xanadu."
