November 2 Tuesday, Chengdu two days of overcast weather, the train of life really tired in the morning at 8 o'clock finally arrived in Chengdu. Chengdu, the weather is still and the legend of the same shade, and the old old, seems to mean heaven Chengdu to grant him the same smile. with my friends arranged to meet at the famous Dream Trip Mix youth hostels to join, I did watch the train station take 57 Road to the Temple of Marquis, which is diagonally across from a dream trip. 1 in. Inside is a wooden fitting into the hall, very simple. the future of Miss services are particularly good, very enthusiastic, she can answer I would like to know all the problems in Chengdu. So I asked for a human to an eight-bed, very clean, bed sheets quilt is in the foreground a new collar, and is indeed inconceivable that there is also air-conditioning, because I have youth hostel membership card, so a bed 25. but unfortunately I have an appointment with two friends - Wavelet and Ch'en, went to the Mount Emei, and only changed to join in Panzhihua, Chengdu, it belongs to me tonight, a person has.
I, like most of the evening the number of prospects in the dream trip to Sichuan Opera performances booked a ticket to see 80, on the opposite side of the Temple of Marquis inside, for the first time seeing up close Face, find the prices are worth, to say that if the words themselves to book to 120. After reading the Sichuan Opera I have looked for a nearby Chuanchuan Xiang, a dime a string, there are also dirty in a well-established, species are also many inexpensive.
Corruption, a day later, I returned to the dream trip to the hot water washed a comfortable bath.
Wednesday, November 3, Chengdu - Panzhihua - Lijiang, Chengdu, overcast weather, the train station is a very old train station, and the station's outer wall is being renovated, while November is the off-season, people just keep on coming, I was squeezed into Hou car on the 2nd of the hall, but I spent 166 yuan to buy the N855 plays a train from Chengdu to Panzhihua was told that the train an hour late, that is supposed to be arriving the next morning 8:30 to 9:30 late in Panzhihua. rogue and friends contacted, they decided ranging from me, and then join in Lijiang.
The next day finally came, and I can not wait underground the train. Had heard that the car Panzhihua to Lijiang, the latest as of 10:30 am, but up to now have been 9:30, and from the railway station to the terminal take the bus It takes an hour and saw only a dozen of. but out of the station were surprised to find in the terminal has sent a lot of vans to take visitors, as long as the price of 3 yuan of money, it can guarantee to the car ride until 10:30.
So I bought a very successful ticket, 67 yuan including insurance. Along the way are basically set the mountain and the sun is very strong, according to people too uncomfortable. Almost seven and a half hour later, I have come to Lijiang. My companion Lijiang has been looking for good accommodation, 10000 Spring Garden Inn, where it is very clean, prices are also lower 20 yuan / bed, on the second floor you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. the boss who is a recreation of Lijiang, people is also good.
Lijiang at night is really corrupt, Square Street there are a lot of people dancing, a small stream, the bar also has a lot of people to sing, we have casually looked for a restaurant, enjoy a barbecue Naxi, Lijiang Baba, taste in general, but the price a little expensive.
Saturday, November 6 Dali, the weather is clear today's trip to Dali, Lijiang, set off a long time ago that we paid heed to. From Lijiang to Dali, there are many cars a day, half-hour intervals rolling start, tickets of different prices according to vehicle will be slightly different, a pity that we encountered that car is a luxury bus, price 50 yuan, which the hardware in good condition and there are toilets, the car will provide the mineral water. Lijiang to Dali as the highway has also been repaired, but also only spent three and a half hours to go before came to the ancient city of Dali.
Ch'en, a Hong Kong citizen, he says that because the saw CCTV Dali version of Tian Long Ba Bu, I feel really good beautiful Duan Yu's home, but got there after he was thoroughly disappointed, where only a high - a high gate. ancient city which some people will discount the price for tourists and their eight travel sale of the ropeway Cangshan, our trip be tight, they walk to the Three Pagodas Park. Tickets are too expensive 52 yuan, but fortunately there is one next to the Three Pagodas Reflection Park, tickets are only 4 yuan, which can also see beautiful Three Pagodas.
From the Three Towers Park, will be out of the way you can ride to the Butterfly Spring, fare 3 yuan, almost 20 minutes, the car is basically local. Butterfly Spring tickets for 35 yuan, which have a lot of travel teams, tour guides MM of the local Bai people wear clothes, much like the Golden Flower. Butterfly Spring is not like the movie, as dead as a spring. but there are next to the "Five Golden Flowers" can be and their photography.
Dali swim almost 18:00 minutes later, we returned to Dali.
November 7 Sunday sunny weather, the lake came back last night from Dali, we three decided the next day to go to Lugu Lake, there is no direct bus to get there is the half-way to go to Ninglang transfer, in Lijiang many places can be rented Gold Cup cars or vans in general, only 50 one-way ride back and forth 100. so we chose it, but also about price and more convenient shuttle bus. distance is about six hours, and the roads are mostly asphalt or concrete road only a small part of the gravel road, in general is acceptable. almost three o'clock we went to the legend of the Lugu Lake, the driver took us to Luohe in the evening can take part in 10 yuan / person's bonfire party. live in is also very cheap, 15 yuan / bed including electric blanket and television.
Lugu Lake is really still very beautiful, the weather that day may be exceptionally good reasons for it, water the color of the sky, the reflection to a special blue, the shore anchor many Zhucao Chuan, a charter to the island opposite the above price is 25 yuan back and forth. Our two companions have brought great joy to patting photographs, while the water is not distributed from time to time with its charm, really have the urge to go swimming.
The party also good at night, which is said to a traditional Mosuo people. Each night the young boys and girls will be dancing hand in hand, but also "walking marriage" the beginning. Only now are more tourists, so not a everyone with the local carnival. evening after the end of the lake especially calm, like a side of the glass, there is no crack, it will not emit any sound, no one would be willing to break it. so we returned to the Inn the end of the first day of the Lugu Lake.
Monday, November 8 Lugu Lake - Lijiang, Lugu Lake, the weather stayed clear today is the last day, the same day we returned to Lijiang. The driver took us to an early Rigby Island, which is one of the most scenic island is surrounded by blue lake surrounded by fear of accidentally Rigby Island, will be away. groups of islands in the lake, flying children, it seems like the three of us in the send-off .10 o'clock, after we left the Lugu Lake, really makes both nostalgia and sadness. The scene also appears on the road did not come when the good-looking. Fortunately, there is a Kunming doctor on board and kept talking of dialogue in the movie with Stephen Chow, so as to enable everyone from yesterday's dream醒来.
Four o'clock returned to Lijiang, which is the last day of our stay in Lijiang. Before the bustle of Lijiang today has become extremely quiet up. Once again came to Square Street, the men have not changed that much. And so they have proposed to the Wood House That is the only quiet place in Lijiang. We sat in a bar which determines the final corruption, discussing tomorrow's route. next to the constantly flowing stream, the flow they must go to places.
The Last Supper in Lijiang in Lijiang to the best meal to eat, "casserole with rice", perhaps because these are the noodle eating, or Ersi. Today is perhaps the most unfortunate day, the same time to say goodbye to the two places , and my heart feeling a lot, once a place I most want to go, but today let me leave it. there is something that could really have a need to let her go after it.
November 9 Tuesday Zhongdian clear weather, the weather was sunny as usual, the sun constantly wine in people's shoulders, people feel lazy, and we have to strive to continue our journey. Lijiang to Zhongdian shuttle is also a rolling start, each one hour intervals, we buy the 12:30 of that class. This may from time to like go to Dali, was lucky to buy the minibus, the price is very cheap 28.5 yuan . so I had not had a good mood, with a little consolation. Lijiang to Zhongdian also 5 hours, traffic was good times and bad, not many people on board, leaving a lot of positions, feeling empty. car suddenly came on the two French people, but also to go to Zhongdian. and so I struck up a conversation with them, they may also want to go to Deqin and Meili Snow Mountain, and decided a trip.
Lijiang to Zhongdian there is a very beautiful way, the two canyons began giving a white silk, sometimes with the wind next to the trees dancing, beat together the river of joy. To "Shangri-La" on the road can be very relaxed and happy, and several successive sitting days of fatigue are also coaches gone.
Zhongdian's almost 3300 meters above sea level the day before we had eaten Rhodiola prevent altitude sickness, so when I arrived in Zhongdian, the time felt pretty good, there is no legend headache, symptoms of accelerated heart rate, while the usher was Zhongdian plateau monsoon cold afternoon. no wonder that many people with face masks, this is not a year to prevent spread to the widest range of "SARS". and soon we found a line of four people will Diqing Tibet to the international youth hostel. where the courtyard inside a very nice bar, which stood a lot of very good country music, room rates are low, if there is card 10 yuan / bed, there is no 15 yuan / bed.
Zhongdian --- the most lovely place, I went to.
Wednesday, November 10 Zhongdian, sunny weather, the second day of this is to Zhongdian, we unanimously decided to go Songzanlinsi take a look at photos from the previous view, it is a mysterious place, because the local government to protect the very Well, there Songzanlinsi "Little Potala Palace," said. From youth hostels to sit down at the end of 3-way bus clock that is, almost 20 minutes to go. Zhongdian bus is the kind of small Pakistan car, the first on the bus, got off and then buy a ticket.
Songzanlinsi is located north of Zhongdian, in a small hill above, below, many Tibetan houses, let me think to the previous, it was also a center of Tibetan Buddhism. Ticket is 10 yuan, from the entrance to the hall need to climb Many of the ladder. like to come here to worship, it must be very devout. next to the French people is actually very interesting in that he kept the ladder in the end in a few numbers, not Shihai smile told us that we have to climb the 30, 50, 80 of the ladder.
Soon we reached Songzanlinsi the main hall, on the outside you can hear the monks chanting inside voice. It was a totally free from outside influence and interference of the temples, monks are also ignoring the presence of tourists, really did mind can not concentrate , to continue with its own unique culture. into the hall later, there are many Buddha statues, each one has its own story. One of the French is also very interesting to me that there are many living Buddhas in Buddhism, each person can choose to he or she thinks you can worship to faith, does not like the Christian belief in God only.
Songzanlinsi are not many tours, tour guides very professional, so that visitors will quickly understand the Songzanlinsi. Occasionally, I would secretly listen to what they were talking about it let me add another layer of goodwill.
Thursday, November 11 Deqin clear sky weather is fair for everyone, and travel so many days have not encountered a rainy day, of course, is no exception today, and soon the four of us bought the Sino - Dean of classes to Deqin tickets 9:20 departure, 37 yuan, the road six hours, people rarely, it was only a maximum of 10 individuals. the driver on the road to rest when he kept complaining to me today, out of This trip car with petrol costs enough. to Deqin later, because there is no shuttle to fly to Temple - it is the morning sunshine to see Jinshan Meili Snow Mountain, one of the best places, so can only be chartered to go to pass price is 30 yuan a car, about half an hour. flying temple somewhere to live and the price is 15 yuan / bed, with electric blanket. from our living room window you can see the beauty of Meili Snow Mountain.
In living next to the bar there is a quarter of migratory birds, sitting in the balcony it can be seen on the panoramic views of Meili Snow Mountain. One of the boss is in Chengdu, she told to Merrill rooted in Chengdu for three days before, a total of nine food Dayton pot. one that she wanted to leave Chengdu everything together. quarter of migratory birds is also a very nice bar where a lot of Mix also come here to exchange travel information, everyone around a pot before the chat, there seems to have the same understanding for a long time, even the two a Frenchman can not help but ask me the results of the U.S. presidential election, when I warned them of the Bush victory, they also, like many foreigners say the same as four years in the future there will be no French people to the United States.
Soon very late, and we had arranged a van, 300 yuan / day, including the Mingyong, and the cost of the day to and from Zhongdian. The price calculation is not, because generally only Akinaga chartered to 200 yuan / day. Then, we had arranged Yong-ming, of the early morning to move forward the way to get up early to watch the sunrise, I would Chuaizhao a "home-wei's forest" back to my room.
Friday, November 12 Meili Snow Mountain Meili Snow Mountain, the weather clear because now considered the start of winter bar, so the sunrise on the particular night. Seven o'clock and everyone was outside the window from repeatedly pored over snow-capped mountains, before deciding to get up and appreciate her mystery. outside humidity is low, I would like to bed after the quarter of birds hid inside the bar, waiting for the first ray of sunshine today. slowly to the bar and the outside of many people on the road again. at last the sun is very willing to squeeze a small spot in the peaks above, "out, out," The following people have not conceal their excitement, screaming with excitement. I of course quickly took out his camera running to the balcony above the front of the snow-capped mountains indulgence, her capture the feminine under the sun. Gradually, the sun also heartily exudes its own light, so that people continue to enjoy the beauty of their own. "here is so beautiful, I have never have seen such a beautiful scenery! "next to a tourist side of the camera, while said excitedly. No wonder the boss will give up Chengdu's cuisine, go here, this is my first time I felt the allure of Lennart Meri people even beyond all the .
After all, beauty is not eternal, 10 minutes after the golden sun has left the Meili Snow Mountain, and we left the season migratory birds, to the Mingyong. Tickets are 65 yuan, if you want to walk back and forth forever to climb out takes about 4 hours. Of course, you can rent MA 80 back and forth. I do not want to own and climb a try, give up the rent horses. a beginning, a lot more than companion behind, but eventually reluctantly climbed up to see white glaciers, glacier snow-capped mountains behind, feeling In any case, Merrill is also really beautiful scenery. She always distributed her unique charm, so that people are still yearning for her, no matter how hard still will appreciate her beauty.
9 o'clock that night before we return to Zhongdian, I feel very tired, very quickly to sleep.
Wednesday, November 17 Daocheng - Aden, sunny weather, leaving Zhongdian has also been a lot of days, my companions are also away from me, and I finally sat alone for 11 hours to from Zhongdian to Inagi, ticket 101 Yuan, every morning starting at seven day intervals. Zhongdian to the towns and the road is gravel, while the towns and the road is necessary to better Daocheng are basically asphalt. but Zhongdian to the towns and must endure the pain of 8 hours, towns and into the Inagi only 3 hours. Kurai the famous white towns and indeed very beautiful, so desolate mountains have chance to survive, just like God has given human beings Like a gift, then the pure spotless. Inagi Tibetan living in what is another style, are made of mud and stone soil, although the rough, but it looked like a meteorite falling into mortal so superior, like a beautiful one by one arts and crafts.
Today is my last piece of pure land of mankind into the day, incomparably more exciting than the days of the cold Daocheng simply nothing! Inagi to Aden package fare is about 400 yuan / day. Because it is the price that low season only then become 350 yuan / day. Aden is known for its high altitude, in Aden, a considerable step in the plains at least three steps, may also be lazy, and I chose to ride. The horses rent Aden, 180 yuan from the local Tibetans Ma Fei can talk about is the price from 120 yuan. the day when I entered the Gulf of Aden scenic area only two or three tourists, walking on the road feel particularly quiet. snow-capped mountains, meadow, Kurai, I love the scenery gradually into the eye. Aden trees, the river Aden, Aden snow, clean and suspected it was not true. Aden, one of the two Kamiyama - Yang Maiyong and Xiannai Ri, is the most frequently turn to local Tibetans Kamiyama 2. their annual that little will change once a mountain, big turn almost three days, the small switch to almost 1 day. all in peace, health and happiness. Solutia velvet cattle farm at the temperature close to minus 15 degrees, too cold. So, that night I had to return to Hill at the end of Tibetans living at home, the only regret is that colored sea and the sea was frozen milk, and did not go into, Aden, Yemen, the United States has in no way weakened.
If you can I would like to stay more than five hundred years in Aden.
Saturday, November 20 Kangding sunny weather to bid farewell to the fascinating long Aden, yesterday in Inagi Juca machaca After a dip in hot springs, the body's elimination of fatigue has been a great pity that today, leaving a Daocheng. Inagi to Kangding a daily shuttle, 6:30 am, walk for 12 hours, almost all disk Road .12 an hour is very hard, the highest elevation is also more than 5,000 years, half-way through the world's highest city will be - Litang. now snow a lot and it is not wait for them to swallow up the whole mountain is one. In particular, scissors bent over mountains when visibility is low, snow kept beating in the car, the whole mountain snow to the extent possible, covers, as long as the driver had a moment's inattention and roll-over risk. sometimes kept a heavy-duty trucks roaring past from the side really did not know the car that everyone was worried the Khan.
Unfortunately, things still happened, just over scissors curved hill when the car crashed into the side because there is no braking mounds. Car tilt of 30 degrees. Fortunately, was due to very slow and hit the mound of the impact is not large, the car people are not injured, but rather an orderly from the driver's door to escape. This is my life's most thrilling and dangerous time, imagine a time when the brakes if the car does not occur in snow, the chances of the accident is almost is 98%. through our concerted efforts, the car was finally repaired, seems like everybody has a new life for life, who talk loudly in the car does not hope and pray that quickly reach Kangding.
Kangding to 20:00 minutes, and I enjoy the street in Kangding, a local snack a lot of snacks, pretty good. Kangding center of people coming and going everywhere Xun Li of neon signs, flash my eyes at a loss.
November 21, Chengdu on Monday, overcast weather, I returned from Kangding, Chengdu in the morning 10 votes, 100, route 6 hours. Today's road to much better than yesterday, it is not at risk, but also there is no plateau oppressively, but to the Erlang Mountain Tunnel, I saw the sea of clouds, and Kung-ah-shan reveal its face.
Three o'clock I was back in Dreams Travel International Youth Hostel, thought about the future of Miss Chen even recognize me out, really surprised, because she had also gone and I have similar lines, and she Tibetan is also very familiar with the right. We're like the same fellow chatted for a long time. There are also lovely cat sat silently next to me listening to stories.
Tomorrow we must return to Guangzhou, and this trip for 20 days is still very satisfied with the calculation of the total cost of 2,500 yuan, not including round-trip train tickets between Guangzhou and Chengdu, 960, pretty cheap. I believe I will in the near future to Sichuan to travel, her beauty so that I can not forget.
