"Dream Journey" youth hostels in Wuhou Temple opposite far away you can see the identity of the International Youth Hostel. 8 to 20 yuan a human bed. If not many people are now staying, I do not know to the Chinese New Year will be. Each had to set their own blankets, bed linen shop, there is a small lock can be locked in something of my own lockers. Put away things, the first thing to go out looking for food. Few people think of Temple of Marquis Street, nor did a number of shops are open the door. Temple of Marquis I do not know too biased, or it that night in Chengdu is one such. In short finally had to return to the "Dream Tour" pipe found on the fourth floor of the kitchen chef eat. This naturally has no time to eat. Fortunately, the British cook noodles cook, the kitchen, there are vegetables, and eggs for use. Kitchen masters of each person to triple the money.
Registration of accommodation, the waiter said that because of two Long Hill Tunnel eliminated the "single-entry double-out" of control, so every day for 9 points and 12 points both cars went to Hailuogou. Who would have thought it almost so that we can not catch up the next day sent to the Hailuogou shuttle. At that time the idea of just want to get up early, first 12 points to go Hailuogou bought the ticket, and then to buy gloves and other equipment. It is because Britain's gloves do not forget to get on the bus. Why come out with me every time the girls do have amnesia? The last accompanied by two girls forgot the camera, but fortunately regained.
January 14. Get up early, take the 301 bus to the new South Gate Station. Inquire about a day, a group of cars only 9:00 to go Hailuogou. And the car is about to leave a few minutes, then immediately buy a ticket on the train. Tickets naturally rose 17%, 119. Drove out the whole car was found that only four tourists and two other tourists are the two girls. Really a bit to my surprise, I thought a lot of tourists, mostly unexpected return of the wandering. Car is an ordinary passenger cars, 29, and that ticket is a bit expensive.
From Chengdu to Ya'an is taking the highway, but after walking Ya'an is the general highway. Car to two Long Hill when suddenly the two steep mountains of Long sighs. The way the car is driven on the hillside. Days is Xuewumengmeng, some snow and ice on the road, roadside trees and stone are the shining white snow. There is no anti-skid chains on the car, the driver drove the car very fast but (perhaps not fast, but my first car ride like the way to go this way, the heart, or a little panic). Looking around us, the hills opposite the flickering. Scenery is good, but unfortunately some people are sleeping around, and I could not bear to wake her. Next is to get to a few kilometers of 2 Long Hill Tunnel, is said to be the longest tunnel in China at present has rows of six to seven minutes before it comes out. Car 1 2 Long Hill tunnel immediately after the vehicle that changed the world like a. Meng Meng is no longer a foggy days, the street is also no longer have snow. Looked back, Erlang Mountain Peak is still clouded.
Car out of Erlang Mountain Tunnel, soon came to Gangu way. Gangu way is to Hailuogou and Luding bifurcation, the left-hand side of the road is bound Hailuogou. 16:00 or so, the car finally stopped grinding station in the town of West. Although a few days is the Spring Festival and the Carnival Festival, but the whole town of Moxi can not see there will be festive atmosphere. Asked about the person near the station, said days too late to have no car into a ditch. Go back and look, the same car to the other two girls did not know where we go has gone. We still think that we should first ask the ticket office Hailuogou. Where got off the train forward 200 meters or so it tries to Hailuogou ticket office, a question I found it at the ticket more than four minutes too late, as long as two or more visitors, they can groove to a shuttle sent to . Tickets 70, an increase of 10 insurance, plus 50 tourist ticket. Then immediately buy a ticket into the ditch. Car is a eight-seater minibus with a driver of a tour guide.
Drove more than 20 kilometers, came on the 2nd camp. Inquire about accommodation and five suites are 120 yuan a bed, a TV, independent bathroom, do not include breakfast, hot springs bubble at any time free of charge. Britain immediately decided to live down, but I decided to go to camp one night on the 3rd, the next night to go back to live on the 2nd camp. My idea is gambling that luck to see the morning sun can hit Jinshan. The next day take a day's road will be a lot of sweat, when then be too late on the 2nd camp, bathing in hot springs. The driver heard a man that I want to go on the 3rd camp, a bit unhappy. Be accompanied by tour guide also said that the current weather situation, the next day run into the possibility of Jinshan sunshine is practically nil. But I still stick to their decision. Final and guides arranged to meet at 8:30 the next morning to meet on the 3rd camp. Car from the camp on the 2nd out more than a dozen minutes later, came on the 3rd camp. Three camps, the camp did not like only one who lives on the 2nd place, but there are two residential areas. I am looking for the Kanayama hotel, said that in its roof is a good place to watch sun Jinshan. Reception Standard Room Miss said can give me 140 yuan, but because the entire hotel as I am a guest it is not fired boiler to provide hot water bath, but it can use water bubbles feet. That being the case, I am simply ordinary people in eight years to be an inter-bed. 60 yuan a night, it was expensive!
Dinner for one to an Egg Fried Rice, 10 per hour. Zaoshuizaoqi, hoping to see the sunrise.
January 15. Up early, is already more than seven minutes. Came to hotel door, take a look at day to know that he has no chance in the sunshine Jinshan. The sky is still dark, but also floating a few small snow. Immediately decided to have breakfast and start your own walking tour. Restaurant on the second floor, I eat breakfast waiter said a voice, to a bowl of porridge, two buns. Surprisingly, eventually, on a big tub zhou, two buns, two eggs, three disc-like crisp cucumber kimchi, a fermented bean curd. They had breakfast here is fixed, the management if you can eat these things, anyway, is 10 yuan a breakfast. Such an approach somewhat wasted a bar and said something to eat should come from the ditch Sinotrans inconvenient.
Ate breakfast, then that check-out will go a long backpack storage units in the service overall. Ask its way to the city of openings, and the total units in the service rent a pair of crampons. 15 yuan rent a pair of crampons, or a word, expensive! Before their departure, confessed yesterday that an appointment with tour guides to tell waiters that I have a person starting their own. From the Jin Shan Hotel out of a few tens of meters along the road going up, we can see a guide license specified in the left lane of a doorway leading to the city. Along the path to move forward, first passed a small bridge. Bridge has not see the water below, only the white snow and ice, but I could still hear the sound of snow and ice remained under the water. I grew up in the South grew up reading the work of another in the south. The first time on ice and snow inside, watching a vast expanse of whiteness, even the branches are white, and felt very excited. After a small bridge, then climbed over a hill and came to a small river. In a small river to continue to walk along the path and soon came to a log cabin. Log cabin of the wall that read "City openings," the words. It seems the city has reached the doorway, take a look at four weeks, but there is no imagination in the city of openings. Only in the cabin, not far from a white ice, like a stream of the river bed. Walked over and saw the edge of lengthwise a card that says the origins of this river. Original in front of this river is a glacial river, its water is melting glaciers in the water pool formed. Zz from sina I remember that when the winter you can walk here from the city of openings on the 4th camps, but they do not see in front of road must be taken. A people's lives matter, and they still turned to go back. A faster way back to the foot, about half an hour on the back on the 3rd camp. Just a pity that the city openings landscape would disappear. Winter could not see, let alone in the summer of. The proposed future generations do not have time, then it must not go to the city openings, and a waste of time waste of strength.
Back to the camp on the 3rd, the British sent a message that has come to cableway station parking lot and immediately begin to go to the observation deck. Then on the 3rd camp have no tourist vehicles sent to the cableway station, and so I decided to continue on foot up to the cableway station. Three camps to the cableway station there are about three kilometers, I went to half time, came from behind a tourist van. To see if the car had been filled with people, so there is no barrier. On the other hand, I am yesterday and English separately, it did not ask her to a ticket, and ticket, I do not know whether the drivers would let me on the train. When you drive through from my side, feeling the car's face had turned to me. True, no one see one a silly walk in the snow, do B?
Half an hour later, I finally came to the cableway station parking lot side. One to the parking lot, had a chance to look at the surrounding scenery, there are seven or eight sliders carrying the tube in the ranks. I strongly do not take the slider to hear the fame after they have been changed to say that going to take me on a glacier, to ensure you can see the ice cave, ice cracks, and can come to a positive large ice falls. Exchange tour guide said that I had heard he could not take us on the glacier, so there Please guide on the glacier with the intention. The only difference is that they seek me, and I was in no hurry. To sit down and drink water, eat a few pieces of chocolate, and then took out his cell phone and English links. Britain told me that she arrived in the viewing platform, but now the weather is not good, at the top of the hill not see anything. I decided to walk to the observation deck. Can not think of a young guy even followed me into a long road, it says that 100 dollars to take me on a glacier. Finally, he really was impressed and decided with him on the glacier, but the cost dropped to 80 yuan.
Up to a viewing platform about half the time, a small section of a Mulan Road, the young guy told me that the weather is good, looked from here is a tree of the sea. But now the weather is not good, can only see fog Meng Meng 1. Beyond it, hurry to the viewing platform when the young guy pointing to the roots of two trees together, this is the so-called husband and wife trees, but he felt not like. Attracted my attention, but is that husband and wife tree across the two trees, they are also the same as husband and wife tree roots wrapped in one, in which one has some dried up. However, two trees are grown in a large stone on top is really rare. To continue to move forward, to 20 m will be to the observation deck. Since then the weather was foggy Meng Meng, so the viewing platform can not see anything, only vaguely see the ditch of snow.
Viewing platform next to a hut selling mutton soup, and intend to take a break. Before even entering the house to see the house sitting on a pile of Huopang Britain, this guy will be enjoyed by Dao Shi Ting. Entered the house on and the British say what I want to go to the idea of glaciers. Britain said it could not and I have one on the glacier, because she wore a pair of leather shoes, and seemed afraid of her physical strength is also Buxing Le. Together with the United Kingdom up to remind me of the listing guide is to be very careful on the ice, so that young guy walking in front, and my feet are marching to every young guy footprints. Really did not expect there will be less dangerous on a trip to Glacier. I am grateful to my guides who listed a reminder.
Britain and listing tour and returned to the cableway station parking lot. At this time is 11 AM or so, appears to be no way to eat lunch, so I asked for a bowl of mutton soup. I want a bowl of mutton soup with backpack chocolate, beef jerky allow me to adhere to swim glaciers. 5 yuan a bowl of mutton soup, mutton little radish but many. Eating mutton soup, a bit of Riga to the kettle boiled water, glaciers began to proceed. At this time about 11:40.
Should be on the glacier, we must start with viewing platform and then forward a short distance, then is the next Pei, Mashimo into the groove. Down to the trench, first of all see the right hand side of the cliff is very special. The hillside for a long period of time (N months before the millennium years bar) have been covered with glaciers, glacier movement of raw surface of the cliff is very smooth. Of course, now the hillside has no glaciers. Left in the hillside, "October 28, 2000," several characters, the young guy said that there was a wedding held here this century, left behind. Really big brake landscape.
And then forward a younger guy told me that has reached the top of the glacier, but also pointing away asked me if I do not see the glacier. When we looked around and saw only some large stones, some covered with a thin snow and ice to see less than there. To be walked in front of the stone, only to find the so-called "stone" but it was a corner of a huge glacier. Perhaps it is because the ice is very thick, coupled with the effect of light, far seems clear that the ice is not white, but a bit partial green and blue. My eyes are not good, at that time did not wear glasses, so far looks to the ice as the stones. Then about two inches thick at the foot of Bakai feet of snow, you can see is ice. Hey, we really have to walk on the glacier.
Also in the glacier are about to walk for half an hour, came to a hole in front of. Ice cave is a hole in both ends of geography. The height of the hole higher than me, but the maximum height should be inside the cave, there are three feet high. The width of the ice cave is probably also allow a person to walk inside. Holes are not deep, only a short walk you can go from a hole in the head the other side of the hole. Standing inside the cave, you can see Bingbi due to different shades of color, divided into several levels. Obviously, different colors of ice are formed at different times. In Bingbi, you can see the ice, there are a lot of small bubbles. I do not know whether these small bubbles formed when an avalanche.
Do the ice cave, and then further to walk on a road, the young guy prompted me to follow him to walk with care. So this section of the road has several ice cracks, accidentally fall to is not fun. Among them there are seventy to eighty centimeters wide and an ice cracks in the flat land I'm afraid they are at the foot of the cross passed with little force. However, in Glacier who knows what will happen, only the force jump in the past, they dare not tread the edge of the ice cracks. Shen Tou see, but because too afraid to stop the sidelines, so to see how deep they going unclear.
At this time the weather is bad, and also about a dozen 20 meters visibility. The young guy to say that our pace a bit slow, we must accelerate the speed of walking. About 12:40 or so, the sky but there have been some sun, have been able to see the big ice falls, and only we do not reach the big waterfall in front of the ice. Great Ice Falls is said to be the world's largest waterfall of ice every day you can see large and small avalanches. Chaos immediately surmise from DV to film a pass. Did not think this is the last of the sun, a few minutes later, the weather has changed again, back to the original look.
About 13:00 o'clock, we have come to the front of large ice falls, location, approximately on the bottom of the ropeway cable. But by this time have not see the rise of cable ropeway, the weather was too bad. Great Falls also forget about the ice saw. We are here waiting for nearly twenty minutes later, have no choice but to start walking back.
Back to the ice cracks next to, I actually like the thought of as a child to study how deep they going to look at the ice cracks, like a few days later I find out the sea son of Hai Zi ditch insist on how thick the ice surface, like. DV tape machine I will hands wrapped Fortunately, the LCD screen rotation 90 degrees, and then half to climb on the ice, stretched its hands to the ice cracks the top down shoot ice cracks inside. Above his head would not turn out into ice cracks. From the DV LCD screen perspective, the ice cracks depth of about 2 as high as three floors.
After a big hole, after beginning to see a group of people walked in to the glacier. The most amazing thing is that actually there are two local women to raise the grill box with them to go to the glacier. Glacier sell barbecue! Really Hailuogou a must. Zai Wanghui to go written, found a place to slip slide. Years, have not tried it, and finally a return to the glacier sliding slide. But be careful do not let the snow into the shoes, or snow, after that of the water, would be very hard to accept.
16:00 o'clock, finally returned to camp on the 2nd of. Asked for a luxury five human beds, with the room there is another small group who came from Chengdu, 120 there is no price talk. The first thing is to tell the British about my situation, and the second thing is to go bathing in hot springs. To bathing in hot springs is first to get through a bridge, bridge was guarding. As long as people stay in the camp on the 2nd, there will be a hot spring day, free cards. On the 2nd camp, the outlet temperature of hot springs are 90 degrees high, and then set up in its bottom 78 layers of bubble sizes for the hot springs pool. Pond is open, and marked the edge of a small card inside the water when the pond temperature, 38 degrees, 40 degrees, 42 degrees there, the more the lower down the temperature of the pond. Has jumped into the pond over a 42-degree, resulting in less than a minute to climb out, can not stand hot. Hei hei, or 38 degrees is best suited to the human body. In general, on the 2nd camp, the hot springs are also very good, to Hailuogou Do not miss the words. Hot springs not far from there is a steam room, hot springs bubble enough to look after can be smoked inside.
6 pm to find the British to eat dinner, but found the same car to Hailuogou of two girls and her roommate this reason that the four dinner. The two girls, is also a travel enthusiast, this time to climb glaciers Hailuogou was attracted to, and interest! After dinner the girls went to the room, "fool around" points, girls accounted for a small cheap (in fact, that is, a cup of coffee). What makes me most sad is that England told me the next day to return to Chengdu, and is no longer with me to Kangding. The reason is that she did guide Kangding cold even more than the Hailuogou, and she wore three pairs of socks today still feel cold, to the post-Kangding will not stand. I do not know how to persuade her to continue to work with me to Kangding, it seems only one person had to walk the remaining distance. Return to their house, and co-Chengdu guy chat. Know that live in the same room, he was more than I spend more than 20 yuan. They did not tell him of these, or let him leave a wonderful memories of it, rarely come out to play a return. Go to sleep before we leave each of the contacts, I hope in future we have the opportunity to longer linked.
Up the morning of January 16, the British have gone back to Chengdu. Close to noon, I sat on the 2nd camp, came to purchasing vehicles Mizoguchi's Moxi town, thus ending Hailuogou journey began one of the Kangding trip.
