September 25, after months of preparation and anticipation, I finally set foot on her and her husband Lijiang trip.
Slept well the night before because of excitement, in order to catch the morning 6:50 to Lijiang, the aircraft, we would get up at 4:30, when we sat yawning in Kunming airport terminal (via), the time, but 8 points. If the working day, from our working hours are a half-hour. Leia! Our journey began to feel in such a ... ...
Lijiang is indeed the plateau, the plane to show us her burning sun Qing Qing, reducing clothing, Sassafras sunscreen, running around in circles while Sleepy had not disappeared. Lijiang Airport to the city by car in about half an hour, fare 10 yuan / person. When we went to exactly the withdrawal of land to build the city of Lijiang celebration of the way many people. Lijiang build a new urban district in general, and the domestic most of the prefecture-level city identical, starts at 6 yuan by taxi in the city, but usually only in the urban area will be able to pay prices starting at destination.
Conductor buses stop to travel agents and accommodation we recommend, saying that many people stay hard to find during the festival, but also "kind", linked in an ancient city Inn asked whether there was availability, the result is only 350 yuan a high standard, and asked We live not live. In fact, even before they come, we have an ancient city on the telephone consultation, within a few inns, and in order to avoid the peak holiday seasons that we specifically chose to come to National Day, so we "very Bushi Xiang" rejection of his "good intentions." Sure enough, when we enter the old city and found that four had availability. Old Town Inn in many, if not a big holiday period, self-help friends we do not have to worry about finding accommodation. Most of the Inn is a converted local residents their own homes, but also more formal large-scale business-type Inn, which is equivalent stars. A proposal to local residents stay at home, relatively inexpensive, and doctrinal and caring, interested, they can still eat with them. Old Town Inn are all within the Mu Lou, you can bargain, there are two more classics, and one small bridge beside the flowing water can be heard night and the opposite direction to the sound of gurgling water to drink; second, depend on eternal downstairs hillside, the stars in the sky panoramic view of the ancient city of the next washing mind. We have chosen an inn by the water, within 2 minutes to the Square Street. Inn rooms are also within the stress may be viewing with a separate bathroom are 140 over 60 or so with no bathroom can be won; also proposed to select a room far away from the stairs, because Mulou no noise, tourists rest time is not the same, interaction is very serious. The first night we chose because of lack of experience closer to the stairs from the downstairs room, the results are noisy to be middle of the night until 2 o'clock Triple asleep. As the preparations for the next day go to Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot, we and the landlord on a good set of the night and the third, a four-day stay.
Settled spree, stomach Jiji cuckoo began to greet us. Many places to eat within the city, but they are expensive, my husband two people, two dirty a prime one a beer soup are 70 yuan. Featured dishes are as follows: Lijiang Baba - very good, m enema - Xing Weier heavy yak Thelephora - crispy and salty, fish (including baked, pickled fish, etc.) - the first choice, Qi Guoji - general, frog skin (a leaves) - you can taste, fried ear piece - a kind of pasta, locally produced beer, wine tastes good. If you feel that your, you can choose a number of eateries, and generally provided Lijiang Baba, noodle, Shandong cuisine, two were 20 yuan can handle that. Bar Street at night must go sit in the shade of a tree beside a small river, eat and drink a wide variety of lanterns under the chat, like the Western's friends can also satisfy their appetites in this one. This is the Lijiang life: relaxed, comfortable and a little bit decadent and lazy.
Old Town of Lijiang Earthquake Reconstruction from 96 years later, has been fully commercialized, the appearance is still the Mulou every family and every household around the water, but the town flavor has gradually faded, and the streets bilge sub-scale legislation are shops, restaurants ; tourists Sassafras shoulder pile up; In addition to outside the silverware, can not find the local characteristics of souvenirs. Only 10 am was formerly the most beautiful time of the ancient city, most shops did not open the door, clean quartzite on the road a few leisurely cats and dogs, and the air begins to resound with the Yulong Snow Mountain rains of the wet and refreshing to cool.
To Lijiang is impossible not to buy souvenirs, but be sure to bargain, but also to choose to buy time and place. Preferably at 1:00 or so, because the traffic between Old Town of Lijiang visitors are generally gradual increase in the afternoon of the evening, the largest commercial prosperity from the beginning after lunch, shops eager to find a good luck opening, given the price is also more favorable. The best choice for remote locations on the back street. Bargain offer third of the proposal from the beginning to look at a few, anyway, anywhere shop.
Introduce a good place to eat in the new direction for the city to Zhongdian, not far from the terminal - Black Goat Donkey mutton hotpot, soup, inexpensive, meat 20 yuan a catty, 3 yuan a vegetarian, taste is very delicious , the two of us plus a round-trip TAXI Chibaohezu the fee before 50. This is our journey a few days to eat the meal the most suitable bus.
Yulong Snow Mountain Second, the three-day arrangement is to Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot. We plan to sit 7:10 assigned to Zhongdian's car under the bridge, from the tiger jumped on foot to the next tiger jumping through a return to the Jinsha River from the Great Lijiang, the journey has made a mistake in the beginning. When we luggage storage at the inn, carrying essential supplies rushed to the bus station, 7:10 Zhongdian tickets assigned to only one, followed by the 10:30 car. To save time, we then decided to take a 7:30 to large car, jumped up from the next tiger tiger jump away. This is really a stupid decision!
It turned out to large with the Yulong Snow Mountain has to go through all the spots, we have to pay 80 yuan per person into the mountains of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, of which 40 yuan tickets can only be effective the same day, if we do not Yulong Snow Mountain that day, then we will waste 80 The Yulong Snow Mountain tickets yuan. Also, a large part of scenic spots in Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge area on foot to the bridge belongs to Zhongdian area, charges collection agencies are different, we paid the Yulong Snow Mountain Tiger Leaping Gorge, tickets can not be removed from 30 yuan per ticket. This is simply bullying, did not! In order to balance the inner anger, we are again then decided to swim the same day and then rushed to the Tiger Leaping Gorge Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
When we get off at 9:00 MAONIUPING before, take the cable car to less than 10 points on aerodromes. MAONIUPING over 3,500 meters above sea level, belongs to alpine meadow pastures, Yulong Snow Mountain is the latest and the best viewing places. Bad weather that day, dozens of undulating grassland on the yak leisurely diffuse the step, from time to time Angtou long pant, blue skies and white clouds, Eagle in the spruce hovers over the Yulong Snow Mountain seemed close enough to reach, her dark blue Shiyan, pale snow marks are vivid, but hidden in the wind around the clouds Peak is always kept in purdah who does not know the most also still holds partly concealed. My husband out of the Plank Road to the Yulong Snow Mountain has been walking a attached a grassland, a slope is more than a slope height, the total has no end in sight. Because it is high-altitude areas, tens of meters high to climb up grassy slopes are more tired, but lying on the high slope, looking ahead, behind, snow-capped mountains, the foot is the boundless mountains, basking in the sun, the wind blowing snow, smoke a cigarette, eating two chocolate and feel - do not put out! !
There are several things worth MAONIUPING a good experience: a huangnitang the name of a beautiful snow lotus lake; of frozen chickens and quail exactly the same, barbecue up very fragrant; thick and flavorful of the yak milk, hot to drink after the next Ping bowl, you can rapidly add strength; saffron foam wine, degree is not high.
Back on the road from the ropeway exactly 13:30. 14:00 to 3:00 Maoniuping passing through the bus to go big with quite a lot of waving stopped. Local travel is very cheap, also a few dollars, visitors have to 15 yuan. Could take long trips such as ours, very few tourists, but local people we are very curious, I heard that we are going to Tiger Leaping Gorge, very enthusiastically willing to ferry us to our destination, of course, is to give money to.
Great tools, ferries and the Village with my big, ferries and the village has left the impression that the pain and extremely tired.
Great with a remote town, there is a new one of both the old ferry. The new ferry on foot after the transition to the Hetaoyuan only two hours, but not always be able to ferry our day, because water can not rise ferry. The old ferry crossing at any time, but after the transition to the Hetaoyuan foot needs 5 hours. Great with the town to the ferry there is a half hour's drive minibus in the fields between the bumpy dirt road and finally stopped at a former shop in the middle of nowhere to children, this time is 5 pm. Hot and tired and worried that drive less than Hetaoyuan before dark, although a husband with me, my heart is still straight drums. Long-distance car conductor is a 50-year-old old man, even though he's the local dialect, and very difficult to communicate to us, but he is still very enthusiastic wanted to take us on the ferry, the way is also constantly invite us to look at local attractions, How can our feelings of anxious hurry to get somewhere.
Give an introduction on crossing the terrain, which is the reason lead us to extremely tired. Tiger jumped on the next hole in ferry, the two sides are the highlands, from the shore side of the plains to the other side of the plains, and we must make a few hundred meters more than 60-degree slope over the Jinsha River to a few hundred meters the same gradient of the slopes. As the slope too great, seeing the ferry on the river below the surface I do not dare to open up steps and go, fearing an inattentive rolled choppy on the Jinsha River, Sands has done a good sister, sister. We and two Majiamafu, several young people over a river. Of course, our ferry fees doubled off than they are, who told us to travel into the bargain.
After a Jinsha River began climbing upward. Burning sun hung high in the head, the original stone is not heavy backpack-like pressure on her shoulders, due to the Yulong Snow Mountain consume too much physical strength, and we go far every step of an extremely heavy, sweat soaked clothes, have been, can not see the rise of the total plains, there are times I almost would like to lie down and even started to regret why go so far from finding Zuishou. Several young men did not have long disappeared in front of a groom holding horse to stop-go with us, gave us great comfort. In fact, large tools, ferry, village scenery very well, climbed to a height of the platform, looked, all surrounded by lush big mountain, setting sun shining through the mountain gap with the other side of the big city, the Jinsha River in the canyon Wan anchovy, everything is like ideal world as quiet.
When we arrived at Village gasping is 19:30, the sun sets Sassafras dark days I do not know how far away from the Hetaoyuan, our heart that hurry! Fortunately, the soon to find a car to take us to the Hetaoyuan, though more expensive, we had admitted. Therefore, away from home, Qian Qian is too cute. Results Village to Hetaoyuan only about 11 km away, 20 minutes to go. We can take comfort is due to days too late, we have escaped the Tiger Leaping Gorge 60 per ticket.
Tiger Leaping Gorge she was really a beautiful, thrilling, exciting place! Favorite foot Mix who must go!
Tiger Leaping Gorge and the mountain scenery is divided into Gap King, King Canyon Trail concept of Gap, cement roads to facilitate transportation, mountain view Mountain View, just as three parallel lines, in the middle there are many paths to connect. View focused on the tiger in the tiger jumped and jumped. Gap King tiger jumped on the concept of a formal opening to the outside, road Xiude Hao, many people, is a must tour the project. But in fact focus on the essence of Tiger Leaping Gorge Tiger jump gorge in the King and the Haba Snow Mountain of the mountain. Taking into account only the time of the day on foot at night to be back to Lijiang, I and her husband chose a relatively fast route: From the Hetaoyuan to go under the thin strip of sky in the tiger jumped into the tiger jumped Stone Gap concept of King, and then climbing ladder on the road, Mountain View mountain view and from TINNAS in HALFWAY lunch, to the Tea-Horse Inn after the ride to the bridge under the road back to Lijiang. As for the tiger jumped the gorge on the King, High Road, 28 Po Shan Road, has no time to play.
The way to stress that the tiger jumping gorge King is taking the concept of the year Tiger Leaping Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station in order to repair the investigation sidewalk repair, this does not open, it is simple, and also more dangerous, and slipped down on the way there are many, be sure to ask a local as tour guides. In addition, the mobile phone signal in the tiger did not jump, China Unicom are.
Hetaoyuan in the next tiger in the tiger jumping and dancing at the junction, on the highways. Also early road repair from the previous gravel road became cement. Tiger Leaping Gorge has several walking the whole of the queue to children who frequented by well-known, the distribution of the next tiger jump tiger jumped on the midway: Hetaoyuan mountain white face and the spring hotels, large deep groove Department TINNAS, mountain HALFWAY, Tea-Horse Inn. We lived in a woody, very cheap, each 10 yuan, but there are as many hot water bath (they are using solar water heaters). Night live in Woody's own car there are several guests who arrive too early, bought a local burn eat chicken, it can be really makes incense ah - too hungry greedy straight out of us saliva. Smell the smell of chicken children finished the meal off with saliva, a hot bath, lying comfortably in bed, off the lights, the stars through the sky without any windows curtains sprinkled on the body, in the twinkling starlight, the The silence in the humid air, imagine a boring busy work, rest due to travel long distances while tired muscles, but it all like a dream as real, so we fell asleep ... ...
The next morning 8 am I, her husband, guided tours start on time. To narrow down the chaos in the bizarre rubble and shrubs, sorghum, the bamboo forest extension, from time to time with prickly thorns, or spider-web standing in the way of our crystal clear avenue, all kinds of powder, purple, red, yellow wildflowers swaying in the morning breeze, everywhere natural, refreshing everywhere, everywhere vitality, mood easy and abundant. Turned Yibi hillsides, the Jinsha River Ran Huo greeted her politely to meandering in the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain of caught in between a distance, only to feel the vigorous mountain steep, do not see the Pentium turbulent flow.
Carved in the stone walls on a thin strip of sky is the Plank Road, because look under the water line only, on only the first-line named after the mercy of God. Road is not wide, about one meter, no cling material, at the foot of the cliff that is a few hundred meters to be close to the cliff walk carefully. After too thin strip of sky down to the Jinsha River will be able to view the edge of the tiger jump tiger jumped stone.
Close to the watch the Jinsha River, is not available "adorable" to describe the river like a mighty force as the Pentium, to Thunder tendency row of boulders on the attack in the middle of the river, the stimulation from a few meters high waves roar of voices from rough underwater I do not know how much energy accumulated want to break free of the shackles of mountains, I can only afford to stand in Riverside, shocked at its power, quietly and appreciate the blankets out the roar and helpless. My husband gingerly climbed the river boulder photography, photography, within minutes, the body has been mist soaked. Tiger jump in riverside thatched rest, we are not afraid of tired with all those who are not afraid of dangerous travel, as in thick and wrote a message in this experience.
End view of King of the mountain gorge, and ladder is the most dangerous days of the journey is the most exciting section of the road. That was welding on top of a cliff 10 meters high simple metal ladder, close to Shek Pik was 90 degrees, climb when the mountain wind is blowing in the ear scratching, I do not dare look down, only one out effort to go to climb, and my heart is only one idea: fast climb, climb opinions on safe. 10 meters-high ladder climbed them was sweating all over, Qichuanruniu. Climbed them all ladder Looking back, I just felt dizzy legs become soft, think of just let go, or if one foot had a mishap once Shiguwucun the scared.
Climb the ladder to the road soon after, and then began to climb mountain view. Along the way there are a number of large and small waterfalls, we walked around the waist from the waterfall. Top of the hill paths would be delighted flat, sight Ye Hao, roadside trees, unknown is also scattered with fossils, I do not know for several years of history. In the top of the hill walk through the entire canyon in the eyes of the foot, watching the nearly 1000 meters outside the Jinsha River, thinking that from there climb so high, a surge of pride wells up, can not help but somewhat admire themselves. We also sit on the street spending huge rock cliff on the smoking leisure, and picked away a few fossils.
Signs along the way walk fun, Jingan slow drive, we arrived at 3:30 p.m. Tea-Horse Inn. From the Tea-Horse Inn down the road to go bad, but also no scenery, plus trek almost eight hours have been very tired, I and my husband are very quiet, can be said to hands and feet, stumbled, stumbled to the ground floor on the road . Basically the car on the road waving stops, 4:30, we boarded the car back to Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot over the victory at last! Tiger Leaping Gorge, a beautiful car out of the window away from us, rubbing the feet of acid-pass, I am lying in her husband's arms fall asleep.
Conclusion proposals on how to play Tiger Leaping Gorge and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain friends, first went to Tiger Leaping Gorge, from the tiger jumped the bridge on foot to the next tiger jump, sat down with the transition Koudao Lijiang big car, halfway Yulong Snow Mountain in the yak Ping, Yun Shanping, large ropeway under. Long-distance trucks are waved to stop, very convenient. This tour with a 30-yuan tickets for an entire Tiger Leaping Gorge and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain scenic area.
