Since then, the world-famous Luding Bridge.
15:00 continue to move forward Kangding (we decided not to Hailuogou a). Luding more than 50 kilometers from Kangding, is still road. Way more and more risks, one side is rough the Dadu River, is a steep cliff side of the road only a demi. With an engineering vehicle the wrong car, van, back door scratched, and arguing about it, to no avail, resumed their progress. 5 pm over to Kangding (county elevation 2616 meters), looked for a newly opened hotel - a new atmosphere hotels, double standard room, according to count a person's 50 yuan / person, conditions, health is very good. After dinner, walk around in the county, the county seat getting bigger, the building was pretty good.

Climb of more than 4200 meters above sea level folding more than 4400 meters above sea level is mountainous and the Temple of the Gore mountain scenery with mountains, valleys, grasslands dominated, both asphalt, but the narrow roads and bend urgent, driving slowly. Altitude from 3300 - 4400 - 2700 meters. 17:00 more to the Dayak River County (elevation 2700 meters), was admitted to the local best hotel (only one hotel) - Ya Jiang Hotel.

July 24 at 6 am to eat, 6:15 departure. Line for the Yajiang - Litang (130 km) - Inagi (140 km) - Aden (110 km).
Yajiang to Litang is a newly paved asphalt road, the road very well (which is the Sichuan-Tibet Southern Link section of State Road 318), but en route crossed an altitude of more than 4600 meters of scissors curved Hill and more than 4700 meters of the clamps pull-Hill. Drivers rarely take the mountain to be more careful, akin to finding dangerous, steep slope bend urgent, we must drive carefully. Scenery along the way is extremely unique, lush vegetation, wild flowers in full bloom, a thousand miles can fully appreciate the mystery of Sichuan-Tibet line. Arrived around 11:00 Litang, has more than 4,000 meters above sea level, some people suffered from altitude reaction (headache, tachycardia). Incomparably magnificent scenery along the way, the vast prairie Litang is amazing. Continue to Daocheng direction, of which 20 km are roads, rugged, hard driving, the rest of the road Yes, it is asphalt. Way to climb over 4600 meters above sea level in the Haizi Shan, full taste of the great legacy of ancient glaciers and the beautiful ruins Haizi Shan Hai Zishan scenery (said to a total size of the Haizi Shan Hai Zi over 1000) and a unique Inagi grassland. This section mainly running on more than 3500 meters above sea level on the plateau.
15:00 Multi-reach Inagi (elevation over 3700 meters), the county seat is very small, only two main street, not as imagined in the tourist city so busy, we did not stay, went straight to Aden. This road is mainly Shashi Lu, a number of road maintenance along the way they crossed the two mountains over 4000 meters above sea level. Around 5 pm we arrived at the ticket office, tickets are 128 yuan / person, the driver free of charge. Scenic spots, according to the staff say that there are 37 km away from the scenic reception center, we continue to move forward. But this can be 37 kilometers long Zhengou makes one wonder if it is a straight-line distance of 37 kilometers.
19:00 or so, we finally arrived in scenic Reception Center ---- reality is that two large tents, one of which was six packages of Guangdong tourists, and we just live in another. Which is said to be just for bedding, though very wet, but very clean. But we brought sleeping bags, slept in sleeping bags inside the (go to Aden best to bring their own sleeping bags, clean and sanitary is not wet). Dinner is a bowl of instant noodles per person (own), the water is not opened, there was only passable, but we eat very fragrant. After dinner, go around around in circles, Xian Nairi golden sunset in the deep blue of the sky framed ---- kinds of non-personally seen it is always unable to feel the United States, non-verbal can be described by the United States. Late at night, you can see the night sky, where the beautiful night sky, stars, big, bright, sparkling, as if a light bulb, had never seen such a scene, in the lament that, while beautiful, but also can not help but for the cities that dark days and sigh. But the only drawback is that because the tent on the river, flowing sound of large, noisy night people slept well (although I believe some people put this as a wonderful music).
July 25 7 am to get up, simple and tidy up, contact a good Colts (140 yuan / person), the road is full (Reception Center - Chonggu Si - Luorongniuchang - Chonggu Si - Pearl Sea - Reception Station).
Riding up the mountain, everyone excited, and accompanied by crisp, ringing, and we marched in the mountain Road, can not help but reminiscent of the movie "bell caravan to the mountains." Street are tall trees (mostly pine and cedar), above, there are some green algae the same thing hanging down, accompanied by Tibetans say it is unspoiled virgin forest in the unique high-altitude plants, we have indeed not seen elsewhere. Walked about 20 minutes, they arrive at the first stop Chonggu Si. Can be clearly seen in the Chonggu Si Xian Nairi Kamiyama (elevation 6032 meters) - Xiang Yizun Buddha. It is not like the other two peaks, as the spire, but it is wide and the top a little flat, but it is quite distinctive, there are always clouds shrouded mountainside, people really think that there lived a beautiful fairy.
Chonggu Si following a very clear stream, white gravel of the flood in the sun a little glare, but beautiful. Beside a small forest, grass and wild flowers in full bloom, let a camera in our hands no Xie Zhao, really busy for a while. Half an hour later, we continue riding forward to Luorongniuchang embarked. After about an hour to reach Luorongniuchang.
Luorongniuchang is the son of a wide caoba positive yes Yang Maiyong Kamiyama (elevation 5958 meters), where they stand, boast of vault of heaven, steep curve in the blue sky outlines a white elegant silhouette, snow accumulation snow in the sun suffused with dazzling luster; left Xianuoduoji Kamiyama (elevation 5958 meters), handsome and energetic, his voice, stands tall in the back and Fenglin Yang Maiyong distant sea. Xuefeng under the broad prairie, grassland streams trickling sluggishly, the Tibetan herdsmen's tents, green hillsides of wild flowers, showing a picture of unparalleled beauty. Really god place to live ah!
Due to physical reasons, we can not go to sea and milk colored sea (elevation 4,800 meters). Colored sea and milk the sea is beautiful, and it is fantastic. Some were said to be able to see their own colored sea this life and the afterlife. The sea of milk each year lunar April 15 (this is the Buddha's birthday), and only this day and the discharge of water, as white as milk. But I think I would come, and now the first to leave a little regret that bar.
Luorongniuchang comes in eating dry food, we went after Chong Gusi pearl sea (Zhuo Mala wrong, altitude 3950 meters). Pearl harbor in Xian Nairi Kamiyama feet, from the Luorongniuchang ride to Pearl harbor takes about 70 minutes. Kamiyama came the foot of thing you see is an overgrown shrubs around the lawn, snow melt water from the middle of the formation of a Wang shallow, clear streams, Sidi entirely of white stones. Across the river is a tall, dense fir forests, through the right side of the woods, deep in the jungle, pearl harbor, such as the Buddha was shining with supernatural light of the emerald green gems, lying quietly at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the breeze blowing over the water surface significantly a little bit of ripple, mirrored around the lush trees and holy reflection of the white Kamiyama is also a slight shaking, deny them even more beautiful. Mani Dui white standing next to the lake, quietly gazing at the green water, snow-capped mountains, blue sky and a few faint clouds wipe all disruptive things, secular ideas in here seem to have stopped, gone, soul has been In the beauty of nature among the most stirring by a baptized. Wanlaijuji, apart from everything here, the rest are all gone, only the spread of boundless space and time go ... ... ... ...
More than two in the afternoon, we ended the tour back to reception centers, because many people have serious altitude sickness, we decided to leave the Gulf of Aden to Inagi accommodation. Arrive at 6 pm when Daocheng more than to find a few hotels, guest houses have no water. Inagi County, two hours a day supply of water, only the Aden hotel all day with water, but a standard room is said to more than 400, so we decided to rush towns and the night (more than 80 kilometers away from the Inagi). In addition towns and is only 2900 meters above sea level, much lower than in Inagi. As night fell, cars circled in the dark, along the way over the mountains, and many sections are still roads, almost did not see other cars, from time to time a hare across the road squirrels. 11 pm or so, to reach towns and living Bam Hill Hotel, conditions in general.

According to the locals speaking, towns and roads to Zhongdian is extremely difficult to walk around to get a good idea to Rongxian, and then further Zhongdian, to walk more than 80 kilometers. Towns and to have to wing, traffic in general, from time to time landslide of rubble on the roadside, as long as the rain this road is to go without a partner. Noon to have to wing, does not stop, directly went to Zhongdian. Most of the sections are in valleys, the side is a torrential Jinsha River, one side is a steep cliff. Road is very narrow, there is no guardrail, rolled down the gravel from time to time, roads are rugged, often large puddle is extremely difficult to walk. The road, a large truck or bad by the roadside, the driver said that when the road over landslide oil filter break something, and sent aides to take our car in front of the town to buy. Into the territory of Yunnan Province, the road marked improvement, and soon on the asphalt. Continue over the mountains to reach Zhongdian more than 18:00.

The rain, do not have some flavor of the ancient city, but because so many tourists looked very crowded, but also restaurants, bars, inns, craft shops, clothing stores filled the streets, people feel too strong commercial atmosphere.
10:00 minutes we left the city via Yunnan Yongsheng, Huaping to Panzhihua, Sichuan, all the way and crosses, narrow roads and bend too much, often in the mist drilling drilled, but the road can be. Panzhihua posterior to the National Highway 108, along the river and the line, bad road conditions and had to detour more than 28 kilometers to the Ertan Hydropower Station. 22:00 arrive Mi Yixian, living Lam Court Hotel, double-standard of 50 yuan / rooms.

July 31 5 am to rush to get up for the Bamboo is to be able to see the sunrise. Because cars can only be open until halfway up the mountain, so had to walk. We have addressed the stone along the winding road hurry and on a moment into the dense ci bamboo, bamboo bar for a while over the small bridge, the next minute through the bamboo forest green. A meandering stream is always with us. Stream or a gentle, such as silk, crystal clear blue, or Fei Liu shock stone, spray splashing jade beads, or walk through the jungle in rock crevices in between the gurgling flow. Along the way, look at Xiushan Yang, low-concept of green bamboo stoop to listen to Nagareizumi, make people feel beautiful and diverse scenery and Zhuhai tranquil valley Youyuan taste.
Walking for half an hour, this should be the road leading to the Peak but points to a deep valley, probably wrong, although the locals refer to. At this point everyone is panting sweating (that year found the march zipper makes sense), and became a mosquito delicacies. Hordes of mosquitoes toward us, expel not go and play that lingers on. We then quickly retreat down the mountain, when a month has been scarred, stained with the knots, as well as a result of working out the steps slippery fall scars. Descent, the Zuoshang Che continues to tour some of the main attractions: To observe the yunting, jade gallery, Xiannv Hu, Tian Bao Zhai, colorful waterfalls and so on.

Our journey ended.
Travel sentiment in the city life for a long time, and inevitably some tired, some are tired, originally pure mind, but also increasingly complex, secular. Of travel, but they can let us out of the city in a short time, to find life on the road who have lost love and beauty, goodness and truth. It feels like is to find the memory of that beam roses, petals still stained translucent in the morning dew. Nature is beautiful, is broad, is magnificent, is beautiful. It sometimes allows us to cleansing the soul, and sometimes can give us the wisdom of the Enlightenment - that is nature, all our happiness and joy. So, when you stay in the city for a long time, you might as well try to go closer to nature, to see for themselves the parts of different landscapes, different cultures, different mood, while the maximum to the love of nature, after all, large Nature is our true home, spiritual home ah.
The pursuit of "dream beauty of nature," which is my travel, the real income, but also my trip the most important insights.
Always love traveling.
