July 4: Inagi - Litang - Yajiang - xinduqiao - Kangding coachman got up early this morning, in the morning to leave the Inagi. Finally see the legendary blue Inagi river, but not the high days of silent pictures on the deep blue water, but the spray billowing between the faint blue, and perhaps some relationship with the gloomy sky bar; time distant cluster mountains gradually exposed sunshine, and soon went on to stab right people could not open eyes, it seems today it is a good weather.
Legend once again confirmed: Mulberry heap of dust to Litang's simply a shocking degree. We rode the Gold Cup a 18 van, Yi Shangju I habitually open the front window ventilation - domestic long-distance car, I have already experienced the smell of smoke - the young driver immediately reminded me: Sheung later must travel with them one way or another. I did not know the secret, until the car drove up Haizi Shan came to understand: the road is best rainy day to go, so if only the soil more and more dirty cars off big deal just a day; like this sunshine, thousands of miles without clear sky, cars off the road when passing the dry sand, sky flying, visibility is only 10 meters. In particular, we unlucky ones: the two long-haul trucks from Inagi to go along with Chengdu, the driver of another vehicle was a master craftsman, so he opened the front, and we followed it all the way behind the drilling endless sea of sand and dust. . . . . .
We are all locked up in the window behind, finally without food to what dust, bitter is the big backpack, no matter what the original color, to the outpouring of Kangding, after the yellow.
This section of the road is also not up to much, bumpy bumpy varies middle of the road also often surprised to lay a water hole waiting for the driver and from Norway over the past little by little difficulty; said that on the road and sometimes the Tibetan highway road gangsters and money, is good for us Lang Lang heaven and earth in broad daylight under the road without running into this material.
Although the bad go sumdo to the scenery along the Litang down really good, first we have already gone through the valley again the riverbed, Haizi Shan ruins of ancient ice cap, and then a cattle and sheep flocks of highland pastures, wide expanse of a large farms, forests, canyons. . . Such scenery is ideal for long-distance car ride rather than Yilue: Since the stop is not worth a careful pondering, it was so cursory a camel beauty is always better to stay in the bottom of my heart.
11:30 arrived in Litang. Litang Tibetan means flat as a mirror of the caoba, elevation of nearly 4,000 meters (4,000 meters Chutou claiming to be), known as the world's high city. There is a long fame of young Cole Temple, opened by the Dalai Lama III light, is the Connan largest Yellow Sect monasteries, a pity that we do not have time forced trip to visit a special trip. Entered the Litang, dust suddenly gone, a sudden and smooth way up, from the beginning until the Chengdu are Litang Sichuan-Tibet Highway, is the year when the construction of the Second Field Army into Tibet in the road used to transport goods, although far from a highway standards, after all, in the two above, is that we come from Lijiang has the most comfortable road, so have become accustomed to Britain on the Britain under the I seems to have suddenly entered paradise.
1 Litang started climbing: 4718 meters above sea level of the clamps pull-Hill, then later in the 4659 meters of the scissors Bay Hill, Wales, 4412 meters high mountain, and finally erected in front of 4298 meters in the Kangding folding mountainous . This section describes how it? I put it is defined as the most magnificent I've ever gone through a section of road, the kind of sky Mang Yu Mang, under cloudless full of males and between the wild strain that this heart-rendering Tour in the mountains; (looks like my kind of In the big city has been increasingly influenced by people who conceit really should come to the Tibetan Plateau often inexplicable arrogance about playing evil, so that my feelings about the grand universe, their own insignificance, and even more in-depth thinking about how to integrate themselves into the in nature to the problem)
Some jumped into the mind of this writing, the memory fragmentation:
Climb mountains to see pull clamp of a depot (which is more appropriate should be referred to as a radar station, the depot is used to supplement supplies, and are generally not built on the Peak), is probably the so-called "Qinghai-Tibet first stop" bar. The military depot gave me the feeling of the media in our country can easily be found, I will not go into, and just want to emphasize one point: a place at such a high altitude, so the local hermit, this feeling exceptionally strong. No wonder the Shanghai Municipal Government subsidies to soldiers serving in the Tibetan Plateau 30000 per annum money, as taxpayers seems that this is deserved, and they pay the money than this much more a mere 30000;
See a steady stream of military vehicles along the ranks, mostly Dongfeng truck, also has a small amount of fuel tankers, the car close to the variety of slogans. I started a few are still a few to 100 after they gave up, is estimated at least see a regiment. The two vehicles were last seen one under repair, another one labeled "ending car" and so on one side, it is estimated specifically finishing in order to ensure safe arrival of all the vehicles. All the way through the inside of the depot are also a neat way to stop full of Dongfeng military vehicles, presumably this is a good short-term use of the summer weather, rush to transport goods to the bar in Tibet;
Climb scissors Bay Hill when an eagle soaring over our heads and not far away, I just like to generate their own has become an eagle feeling;
In Yajiang exhausted after lunch there is a road running along the Yalong River, a beautiful canyon scenery, vehicles have opened too light, then the train echoes Say you Say Me like the English oldies, people has quite the feeling of Joy Ride ;
In a "photographer's paradise" known xinduqiao, solve the master deliberately stopped at the roadside outside the town cars to let me take pictures, said, here is the best film clip Jinshan position. I lift its sights, is that exposure of a valley, in the Pass Office, showing the distance between the two peaks towering crystal clip Jinshan, angle turned out excellent. Jinshan is the Snowy Mountains in a folder with the other snow-capped mountains along the way have seen a different, this Snowy Mountains stretching hundreds of years, but all of the snow-covered, quietly lying on the sky with white clouds as partners is indeed the most magnificent. Think again literally run out of the Red Army in 1935 feet, turned over such a Snowy Mountains, the heart under the endless emotion. . . . . . Or direct the reader to read the text bar to commemorate the media;
When there is a mountainous climb off road is a wide ridge in a zigzag detour detour along the front but, in the foot of the mountain looking at: a number of trucks busy to move in this huge plane; on it delves into the foot of the mountain overlooking, Under a lake shining in the sunset light was shining bright, and we come to when the road curved after another that he did not know that so many around the circle;
Down at a time of approaching evening, the sun still high, snow-capped mountains and majestic legendary Gonggar fully displayed in front of me so that I can not help but to secretly glad that his good fortune, while the other did not see such a beautiful companions felt sorry for . Snow is said to Gonggar the minds of Tibetans, one of the eight Kamiyama, its magnificent just as much as Meili Snow Mountain, ordinary times is not easy to see Kamiyama true capacity. It seems after so many days of long and arduous journey that God knows our sincerity of.
Arrived at 6:40 the evening of Kangding, a driver solution of the master wanted to go back to spend an hour to kill Luding direct result, he was the first bus stop, saying that today has gone 400 kilometers, according to the provisions of the same driver can not continue to drive the .
The folding multi-Kangding swift river flows, rough, surprising that the River was quite a crowd, did not expect such a high altitude city actually have such a beautiful municipal construction, flow surging, the market is booming with the Hangzhou and Nanjing, a class of commercial street is not less than. We are a hearty meal in a small restaurant and I also bought many Western-style cakes Toshio ready to go back a good reward reward his belly.
Night stay at the station hotel, very cheap, 15 yuan a night, and unlike some friends of mine put it online so dirty horrible.
July 5: Kangding - Luding - Ya - Chengdu today meet in the same solution of the master hand in hand 6:00 departure, we are not too heavy sleep, I woke up 5:30, and everybody rushed down the stairs to Chong - live at the station hotel has its advantages: what floor is the parking lot - in the pale blue dawn, we again set off a mighty way.
Today's mood with a few days before a big difference: In northwest Yunnan, western Sichuan's mountains in taking so many days to be back this afternoon, "modern civilization", and do not bother "modern civilization" how the issue of how to pile up, so that You spend 10 days in remote areas, half of you are naturally looking forward to return to that damned psyche "modern civilization" and going, and I at the moment is like that. Mode for even, I recall that five years ago, when the scene came to Chengdu, then contact Boundless has just started out of the ivory tower full of ambition, but now already overtaken by events, when peer-smile blossoming together people now do not know what in the world distribution the corner, and back to the old to see the old King heard of Chengdu, Wen Ruan, then what will be a wish?
Do not sour, and back to issues that are on the road to buy massive amounts of plum stuffing hard to stomach, it seems as long as fifty cents a pound, or cheaper, do not remember. Eating plums, casually looking out the window a look, a river roaring torrent below, as if to play with us like, I saw the heart of this river there is a very strange feeling, an indescribable shock value, I blurted out: " This is the Dadu River? "Xie master nodded his head.
Dadu every Chinese knows, maybe their ears are cocoon the child to grind: the Shih Ta-k'ai here, defeat his death, was completely annihilated; the Red Army crossing the Dadu River Warriors 17; the Red Army with the Nationalist forces the two sides along the Dadu River Race , flying accounts for Luding Bridge. . . . . . But only after I really feel the immersive nature of the cruel history of the wonderful and glorious Red Army soldiers, in the Luding Bridge River escorted Shilan listening to Ocean Waves looked at 13 chains composed of iron chain bridge, had to sigh of these is mostly the name of the Red Army soldiers did not leave. The so-called heroes, nothing more than a group of like them, so that future generations are still admired in a few decades later the person I admire bar!
After a Luding soon see the road slipped Hailuogou, we really do not have time to go, and can only pass by this and the glacier. 9:00 left after a Erlang mountain tunnel, of course, as usual, blocked for half an hour, until the long string of military vehicles had finished, all vehicles in the train in health, "wheel" like a champ to downhill dash line is from here to Tianquan Canyon Road is a winding mountain, scenery much to recommend it (again repeat: Sichuan-Tibet highway landscape best in the world), especially in the Qingyi area, then clear water as its name implies, such as a green belt she surrounded by Castle Peak, between the river little bit of Fan Ying, reading is fun to watch, bear in mind the big Chang.
Ya eat rice at noon, due to the limited time and wallet, no fish taste the famous Ya. Ya alias Rain City, but when we went to good weather, of course, since there has entered the Sichuan basin, naturally do not expect to be hot, but typical of the Chengdu-style cloudy Weather: Clouds lazy to pack in the head, so that you do not feel the sun's heat, but also a little rain does not look like, that's a win Tun die of water-like weather is not living.
Cheng Ya-Ya's from the highway, less than two in the afternoon entered Chengdu. They help Junxiong Gaoding the following few days to Jiuzhaigou Emei Qingcheng travel agent, booked his ticket to Beijing but tomorrow, we are plunged headlong into Qamdo Hotel Grand Wash big shabu - finally returning to the modern society.
Evening in the Palestinian child severely twist the hot pot meal, bur we have everybody round belly big waist is really not eat, and then stare at the nearby table where a few drunken bacchanal, appears to be just down the group of cadres They probably felt a bit like bar with us.
My trip to Sichuan and Yunnan to this end.
