Northwest Yunnan Autumn Tour
Stanley
La
Shangri-La, the British James Hilton in his "Lost Horizon," a book depicting a paradise, for many years by the fascinating people in the world. In 1997, Shangri-La in Yunnan announced on Diqing Zang ethnic Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. Diqing, Tibetan, meaning "auspicious place", there is the mysterious snow-capped mountains, lush forests, vast meadows, and I think the most beautiful, than that of the lakes on the plateau.
Shuo Du Lake, in the capital of Diqing - Zhongdian, elevation 3450 meters, an area of 5 square kilometers around the lake like a mirror, although the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the lake surrounded by green grass, green, pleasant, lush grass lake sand infected with a touch of apricot, near the hillside dotted with scattered trees yellow leaves. Autumn is not brilliant, but Weixun their autumn, there is a breathtaking beauty, relaxed and happy feeling wells up.
Shuo are near the Bita Lake, like the pearl of the plateau. Bita, in the Tibetan language means "wool woven Pulu." We are from the west gate toward Bita Lake, along the Plank Road log Dacheng forward, white clouds floating in the blue sky, bright sun from the clouds down the inter-pore projection, shining in the bright grass, everything looks all is a warm and full color, texture transparent and pure, green and soft and thick like an undulating pastures blankets, yak, mule leisurely walks in the above. All the way beauty constantly on the go at the Plank Road about 6 km on the mountain path and into the thick forest. On the mountain, we began panting, and go for a stop for a while, over several hills, and went about 3 km mountain, suddenly saw the Bita Lake. Bita Lake Surrounded by the four Castle Peak, as quiet girl, quietly revealing a peaceful and not advertised in the United States.
Steel vessel boarded, and we cross the Bita Lake. In order to protect the Bita Lake, the ship is to be drawn by paddle. At this time sun sets and a touch of Xihui mapping light sparkling off the lake, wood pulp stirring up waves in the Qing Ying bright beads. If in the spring, azaleas blooming season, the lake fish will struggle to eat Laying the drunk, floating on the surface of the water in the moonlight, took the opportunity to bear on the fishing for food, a pity that such a spectacle that we just missed the chance to see.
On the shore, I heard that only 2 km from the south gate, I have decided not to ride, walking in the past. Walking is still the Plank Road, a short while into the jungle again. Here ancient trees that crowded in upon, along the way gloomy, and only me and Winnie, A Tang, kittens with difficulty walking. It turned out that a specially designed for large in the mountains on foot, round wood, a bit wet, take up is very strenuous. Before long, I clearly feel powerless, Qichuanruniu, could not walk 10 meters is necessary to break a while slow tone, may be altitude sickness bar. Winnie is also straight pant, all the way to have her, and we join hands with each other and encouraging each other. Etang beginning with the kittens at this time of electric shock, in the magic of love to promote the next straight in front. The Peak climb out of the gate, has been exhausted.
We have to go this route is very difficult, because we constantly have to climb. If you reverse the more comfortable, but in the absence of this experience, how aware of the subtle then? Do not experience wind and rain, how rainbow? In the back on the road, we saw the long-hoped-rainbow.
Bi-Rong Gorge, Zhongdian light snow in the mountain, because one end of the names is "Shangri", the other side is "lire", so called "Shangri-La Grand Canyon."
In the wall melting towards the rugged mountain valleys advantageous, when the climb more than 4,000 meters above sea level, when a small snow-capped mountains, saw the erection of a number of hills on the straight with a length cut-off on the charred tree trunks, only a few meters high, usually scattered on the hill and dale like charcoal. Mountains have a stone documented such a catastrophe: May 27, 1982, the small mountain forest fires, the burning of 2 million mu of forests. For nearly 20 years later, after the robbery is still barren hills, it seems that the market has just put out the fire. Restoration of the ecological environment, the time to pay a heavy price is difficult to imagine.
Bi-Rong Canyon 120 km length, its terrain and the "Lost Horizon" where the Blue Moon Canyon have described remarkably similar, exactly the same. We followed the trail on the village side of the river walk, river trekking into the canyon the previous. Along winding paths of more than 1000 meters high cliff cliff, straight cloud-cloud. Cheerful river flows, canyons where there are many scenery, Qingli beautiful night. Encountered from time to time on the road out of the gorge which groups of cattle and sheep, and we call out to the shepherds: "le!" They are all smiling response. Canyon is too long, we are only 8 kilometers into the back of the pack.
Some people say that is equal to less than Meili Snow Mountain have never been to Diqing, the magic of the Meili Snow Mountain is located in Deqin. In a sunny afternoon, we came to his front, but will eventually save face with his margin. Meili Snow Mountain's peak Kawagebo cloud cover fog cover, waiting for a long time, only saw it through the misty outline. Meili Snow Mountain is the minds of the Tibetan people, Kamiyama, in Deqin I saw many places dedicated to the photograph of Meili Snow Mountain. Over the years, many people have been trying to reach the summit, and today, yet the human footprint left at the peak. Mountain climbers who love to say in order to defeat them, in fact, to prove that you can defeat them, why should trample Kamiyama, hurt other people's beliefs and feelings of it?
Tiger Leaping Gorge
In the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge, just pan-gray dawn when the sky when we rented a mini-van on the entry in the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Etang morning stomach pain, toss the Bansu not sleep, Yuki few days ago, heard about the road down to the riverside hard exceptions, they are intended to accompany us to Tiger Leaping Gorge, just turn a switch and not Riverside. In the mid-Gap hotels, ate breakfast, especially the mountains and breathe in fresh air, we came spirits, made an ideological work, A Tang, and Yuki has finally been convinced, is willing to go along with the long attracted the tiger jump Gap.
Then a man with long hair come ask us if you want to riverside, and then brought us to Zhang teacher's house. It turned out he is a Teacher Chang's younger brother, he has to lead another group of travel friends, and we lead the way by the Teacher Chang. In many travel sites, Chang is a teacher may be called celebrities on his evaluations both applauded and criticized. Travel faithful know that he built a road from the hills to the riverside trails, called "Teacher Chang lane", go to riverside fun, must be made by him or his family took him back because as, and to take tolls. We met a lot of tourists to see him, and have taken the initiative say hello to him. His name is Zhang Likun, 40 years old, of medium build and a mustache.
Teacher Chang cut a bamboo pole to our staff a Jigen, right when the crutches, and then down the mountain. He said he very rarely lead the way now, because Yongsheng finished in a small class, today happened to be school holidays. We have heard, he kept saying we were lucky. Psychology is very talkative, along the road he's been talking about. The original is divided into the mountains near here, gave him a few years ago several tourists expect to see river bank, he led them down to the riverside to see a feel good scenery, so it took several years to build this trail , spent more than 1 trillion yuan, is still perfect. He returned to the cliff that we are pointing to the opposite side where there are traces of the earthquake in 1996, and gave we describe the rainbow after the rain appeared canyon. A man who studied hard Teacher Chang Hung closely followed continuously for advice, because we are one with one to go, I and other people hear is not clear, we write to urge Arab-Israeli Red-back reports to let us see.
Way to see many of our baskets are used to collect garbage along the way that some belt "to protect the environment," the words of the wooden plaque, Teacher Chang say that these are his settings. Although the Teacher Chang reside in the mountains, but his awareness of environmental protection than some of the city's people still strong. Teacher Chang melancholy to talk about the number of visitors now come here, the future of local departments may have to close tickets here. Along the way he told us where his corn, vegetable plot, and his harvest. I think, anyway look at Teacher Chang toll revenue with this matter, if not a love nature, love the mountains, love this piece of land and its people will not spend so much effort so painstakingly built up all this.
Talk and laugh, about a half an hour to the riverside. Departments and regions, rugged hard stone and then climb the shore, came to Riverside a little flat stones. Tilt angle was 15 degrees stones stretching from the Jinsha River, the above is very humid, we must proceed carefully because of the stand up, stare Jinsha river rapids, rolling waves, surf monstrous, soul-stirring. Tiger Leaping Gorge is about 17 km wide, gap up to more than 200 meters.
Then we followed the teacher to continue to turn the River Zhang huge boulders, pulling wire climbing cliff, walked Chi Yu Mu Banqiao wide, climb a rock. This piece of rock is extremely irregular shape of the surface, there is a moss everywhere, the sky was beginning to drizzle, and stepped up shoes feel slippery, and we-ism, for fear一失足成千古恨. Teacher Chang comfort us not to fear, and to help us find a good location of stations.
Standing on this piece of rock, looking at the muddy yellow water-splitting Atlas Jinsha River cliffs, such as Kazuma Mile, such as thunder roared in my feet soar away. Endless river, a wash pine chest. 10 meters away from us to the middle of the river there is a large triangular stone, Zhang teacher told us that the tiger jumped stone, and raging anger stroke river boulders, sparking an intermittent volley Hai Lang, magnificent.
Teacher Chang pedal when a pair of shoes, jump to another piece of rock from a boulder on Rulvpingdi, he is to walk around a boulder, that piece of rock stacked vertically like a shell, stone edge upward. Along the almost vertical cliff, he walked on a prominent cliff edges and corners easily stand Agariishi edge, look around some beckoned to me. Zhaoliaoyichu I have just a place to sit equatorial breathing, quickly waved them shaking their heads. Teacher Chang also said that the stunning landscape and look better, others say that Chang himself alone take care of you, quickly bygones. I had no choice but to stand up, according to Zhang teacher pointing line, hands and feet, like the gecko to climb the same rock-edge. The original piece of stone on the other side there is a huge rock, river rock from the roar and the two before, the wave splash photo is breathtaking.
Back to the shore, we were still badly shaken, tapped her chest, said do not anymore riverside climbing stones. Such a dangerous place, but also without the slightest protection, Zhang took a teacher who actually dare to climb, too risky.
The Internet to information received from the riverside road to climb to three hours to think of such a long way to pay attention to their psychological preparation. Yuki silent, heads bowed crutches, Batui left, omitted the blink of an eye. We are struggling to climb slowly, just as heart still to calculate time, saw the rise of a highway, take a look at the table, this time it took 45 minutes. To catch up with Yuki asked her why she so brave, and she replied she was afraid that they will not keep up with everyone, so benzene, the first bird to fly unexpectedly pre-empted.
In Chang Kao Yumi eaten their teacher's house and return to the Gap hotel for lunch. The Gap on the Internet is also a famous hotel, the owner of a pair of Tian Yongqi killing countless dimples, very warm and hospitable people and shouting at her sister fields, or call her Tina. Here there is no cell phone signals 1:00, she took out a cordless phone, pull out the nearly 1-meter antenna, and help us appointment drivers. She said that the master cordless telephone in 17 kilometers away.
After dinner is already 15 o'clock, and when the sun Clouds stuck in your head, in and hee sun, facing the valley of the breeze blowing Ruoyouruowu, we are lazy to sit by the table. As the riverside just come back shoes are some of tide, so regardless of deportment removed and placed in the sun drying, and gave all the light Jiaoya stay Zhang photo.
Jinsha Yuan Wang Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain in the inter-winding Jia Zhi, seems tame delicate cross-strait steep peaks as high as more than 3000 meters, the endlessly rising Emerald, lush, this time to see Tiger Leaping Gorge as an ink-major axis. I regret the failure to Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot, if given the opportunity again, be sure to spend a few days here.
4:00 or so, we farewell Tian sister, sit back mini-van. Came too early when the weather did not pay attention to road conditions. Now go back, it was found is not a road we have to go. Grinding in the rubble heap car driving, the rickety, from time to time rather than shying hide, carefully avoiding the big rocks on the road. Along the way saw some half the height of the stone, are landslides from the mountains rolled down. The road outside the turbid waves of measurement is boiling Yang Jinsha River, the inside slopes there are many waterfalls, across the mountain after falling down, cars were passing through from the turbulence. The car was very slow, with less walking. A Red River was originally sitting in the back seat through the lateral, at the moment doom crowded look inside, and her out of that can actually sit outside a person's space, to know could have been three people live in the back seat of. Vehicles are not in the past, to the Gap, because too dangerous. In mid-October in Guangzhou, from Lijiang to go back later to listen to people say that we had gone a few days on this road out of trouble, but also sealed.
9 km away from the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Department, we have seen the tiger jumped stone. Here the two sides of the concrete road repair, construction of a viewing platform, there are many tourists, especially tour groups come here to watch Tiger Leaping Gorge. Here you can see the river roll maneuver, but far from spectacular scenery in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, coincides with Wang An-shih of the sentence: "World's Kiwi Rose is very strange concept, and often is the risk is remote, and the person to Yan Han, therefore non-lofty ideals can not be to the people. "
Lijiang Full Moon
National Day coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival in the morning we go to bundle Kawamura. Kawamura beam is about 5 km away from the Old Town of Lijiang, a Naxi ancient village, where red brick eaves black tiles, wooden walls, dirt, mischievously streams, ancient stone bridge, everything retains traces of the years, there is no deliberate modification of the renovation, there is no hustle and bustle of the crowd, the air was filled with the soil-fang fen. Most of the courtyard door open, you can saw the courtyard filled with pots, in full bloom with flowers Zhengyan Doo-Yan.
Could not help but take the liberty of a people inquire, can let us go in to visit. An old aunt greeted us to the yard, brought in Naxi cakes and some fruit, the Nene to say "I am not very good at Mandarin," sitting under the warm sun beat wool. Court is not the child, clean and tidy, there is an apple, when we looked at the apple tree, the old aunt to lay down their wool, so that we insisted on laying a few apples to eat. Did not join a huge group of flowers to attract a few pairs of eyes and a few lenses, the old aunt said it was a begonia.
Thanked the old aunt, we climbed the mountain scenery beam Kawamura panoramic view, quiet villages, endless fields. Here I posted a postcard, postmarked receipt a look at: Lijiang Shangri-la.
Afternoon, in sight kulou youth Inn Meimeideshui a nap, after picking from the Inn of the bookcase where a few books in the room to find a corridor in front of a high-legged stool, leaning against pillars open book. Some people in the painting the corridor, because the corridor overlooking the ancient city, which claims to this Inn overlooking the ancient city of Lijiang, the only picture of the Inn. Before we discovered on the floor forever, this Inn, I feel quite comfortable here, relaxed, so back to Lijiang the next day to move over to live. Looking at books, Inn owner Arjuna came, saying that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, asked us to dinner at night. I thought he was polite, casually, words do not have to be polite.
Arjuna Guangdong Boluo people, fine arts, and he long a typical Cantonese looks, but also typical of Guangdong Province were smart. We speak with one voice, he brings a easy-going, we will soon addict to get acquaintance. Evening, we are prepared to go out for dinner, Arjuna also up shouting at us, saying food is ready, they wait for us for a meal. Because the festival inn employees have returned, and food is Arjuna single-handedly, and we feel very embarrassed. We talked and laughed, taste the Arjuna craft, ate a memorable Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
During the day when the rain when the weather sunny, rainy afternoon, when I looked at the gray sky, thinking that just missed the chance to see the moon in tonight. At night the rain stopped, Lijiang ancient city crowded, everybody in town of red lanterns and Hui Zhao冰清玉洁of flowing water, as well as the laughter of people. Lijiang Although commercial atmosphere very strong, but the plan very well, walking in the streaky stone on the road, leisurely feel at ease. From the clouds the moon several times in exposed sutural smile, but also buried in the clouds. Layers of a torn Miyun autumn, the sky gradually brighter, and eventually the Haoyuedangkong. Here the high altitude, the air pure, I see the moon larger than in the past seen to be round. Winnie and I walk in the moonlight, from time to time can not help but stood aside, looking over the rise of Lijiang in the moon, the two reunited in heaven underground.
15 Moon 16 round, 16 coincides with A Tang's birthday. Etang flies exceptionally proud of this birthday, because he holds too kitten go. Kitten and the Etang this is the third meeting, the first two together, or we meet in the gathering. Winnie is the cat fight begins in primary school with a friend, for the kitten's honey shipped baffled. September 22 all converging in Lijiang, the kitten is no exception with the Etang. 24 to go to Zhongdian Bita, A Tang chats with A red all the way, cat-face backpack all the way on her own runaway, throwing a large portion of us, then A red to someone who has experience tell us that cats eating dry vinegar. At Tiger Leaping Gorge 29 Etang gastrointestinal discomfort, we have the morning to mid-Gorge Hotel, a small cats into the kitchen, we thought her to go to points, breakfast, etc. are not seen for half an hour she came out, thinking what she gives us a good get together to eat, I walked into the kitchen to see a kitten is giving Etangaozhou, and our breakfast did not even order. 30 in Lijiang was raining, and rain is also considerable. Kittens will be dirty clothes bag loaded Etang withdraw the beginning I also secretly Qiexi, because my clothes are dirty inside. After a while, saw the cat alone heavy rain in the courtyard, scrub hard, and my clothes picked out is still around, I was with the cat's friendship deeper than Etang with her呀. Winnie said that her understanding of cats 10 years and have never seen a cat washing cooking, let alone tried to get Winnie washed clothes. Well, they're the opposite sex immoral! A Tang Hei hei smile listening to, and then pro-together with the cat, its intimate level so that we cover our eyes, these two guys like the old house is on fire - not saved.
It seems to get along on the road all day and night, falling into Health worms (situation), is very easy to fall into the love of the river fell, vigilance ah, travel friends. After a 12-point, kittens booked a birthday cake, we call on the Arjuna, together Etang lit birthday candles, like the full moon blessings of Lijiang stumble again fire this guy bar!
空阔boundless
Xishan Longmen lean on a railing overlooking the 500 years of Dianchi Lake, Ben Lai fundus. At this point rain started falling, the lake 10000 dump at a loss, but also feel the vastness of Dianchi Lake, Kongkuo boundless. Xishan, when a phoenix legend Zhou Yi, Ching-ming of this, people do not know the phoenix, call it as "Bi chicken", which is also called the Bi-chicken Xishan Mountain. Kunming Da Guanlou long together inside the "West Zhu Ling Yi" refers to here.
Daguan Lou is relatively impermeable and Xishan. Locals said that from Daguan Lou peaks overlooking the Western Hills, its contour just like in a sit on the shore of Dianchi Lake, the "Sleeping Beauty" and her face, chest, abdomen, legs and even hair drooping into the water, all lines clear, lifelike, However, in the dim light rain, the Sleeping Beauty came to a thank-gauze, so that from afar I only saw her faint presence.
To tell the truth, Wei-Tai Guanlou neither nor refined. It's fame only been together a long, so come here especially for the literati poet, facing Dianchi Lake, recite a long joint, can not help pointing about it, passionate about it, Gankui something. Piece of couplets ocean 180 characters, known as "the best in the world long together," the Union painted a beautiful picture, attractive scenery, endless Kongkuo realm, it is fascinated; the second line listing the millennium change of dynasty, how many heroes of fierce and ambitious, How Jing-Wu Wei-wen, as superficial, and only the setting sun Cuicao. Majestic breadth of the whole lot of couplet, by King and poetry.
Ji Jing nostalgia, the performance of many literary and artistic works the way, the author of the historical environment in which different positions, and his eyesight reach of different works of the realm also have different. Xin Qi-ji Golden Pavilion Jiankang an attraction in itself, sigh sighed, "where coiling is that only the rise and fall everywhere"; Su Shi Chibi look washed down the drain, sigh, "Life is a Dream"! Many scholars Ji Jing hygiene conditions are helpless sigh. But the scenery of the North face of Mao Zedong, by King after the lofty nostalgia: "Ju to the men, and a few heroes, but also look at the present." Pei-Xun's first symphony, "my country" where the "Wing Suet," Mao Zedong's poem reflects the mood, first snow fluttering northern scenery, praise of the motherland's great rivers and mountains, the Jijing nostalgia, an upsurge of emotion to recall the history of ups and downs, then expectations of future passion. Couplets the author of this piece of daring defiance of the Qing Dynasty, Sun bearded public of literary inquisition, in the long-joint in the invisible meaning of today's dynasty "are paid to Cangyanluozhao" is a historical necessity, which is Sun bearded public courage and courage.
There is now advocating natural and cultural tourism fewer Daguan Lou's visitors less, the site long associated with its author had also Jakunen. Sun bearded public an early age learned, because of the child test should be seized must be found to put, in his view is, as the Pirates, is a great insult, angrily not test, so life is not Shi, claiming to be commoner. If the Sun beard the public informed of today's payment, but also some foreign supermarkets have been found in order to release seized, I wonder how would angrily.
In today's Daguan Lou can only saw Yang Liu Yiyi, small bridges, but only a park can no longer wine Ling Xu, and it would be better in the Xishan the Dianchi Lake have emotional observation gantry. Even more distressing is the Dianchi lake, suffused with layers of oil, greasy bubbles, debris, compared with the Fuxian poles apart.
Fuxian Lake is located in Kunming, near Chengjiang, deep lake, with an average of 87 meters, while the maximum depth of 155 meters, the lake has extremely clear and transparent is 7 meters. The Fuxian next to Beacon Hill overlooking the lake, a boundless, scales rippling waves, like the sea in general are confused and Kongkuo boundless.
Renxinbugu
Out journey will always run into do not want to come across a number of things have no choice but to run into the treatment, and even ward off evil or even bankruptcy.
In the train from Guangzhou to Kunming, the way I Etang, Yuki provisional decision to play in the Shilin stop over. Gangchu Shilin Station, there are a number of coachmen and mini van drivers Wai came to solicit, from the air is polluted and the train down, we want to breathe fresh air, so rented a carriage to the Stone Forest. Women drive carriage along the way is hard to recommend us to the ancient stone forest, not to the size of Stone Forest, where the tickets expensive and not good-looking. We do not care about her, and she was not happy that some of the.
Small Stone Forest where visitors such as the crucian carp, beautiful scenery, surrounded by flowers, surrounded by many places like a large bonsai, where met well-known long-Ashima, but not as well known to meet. Go to Big Stone Forest, visitors on the decrease, gradually narrow road, and columns have appeared strange. We climb steep meditation on the Lotus Peak, climb like a squat Shitai pictures of, facing the peacock comb fin, dual-degree water birds, as well as golden rape. We great interest, few people will concentrate on drilling the mountain, gradually confused, and Bian Buqing direction, then a young man ask for directions to the side. Left section of the road, we found that the young man had been followed, we are very strange. He claimed Mr MA, is a guide, are herbs, referring to what would be in the hands of Jigen pods to give us a kind of medicinal herbs. Then explain why he just go the same way with us all along the way he kept pointing, saying here is A Heige footprints, there is a fungus, when come to a narrow wall, the people on both sides of homogeneous areas with high neck and one each prominent, he said the neck of good people can easily pass, and then demonstrates how to walk in the past.
To be a big stone forest is already more than 5 pm, and we have to rush to Kunming, travel, A red ahead of us. Are considering how to thank the tour guides, he asked whether we go to tea, saying that tickets have been included tea pay. We say that we have to hurry, he said, afraid, 6:00 p.m. at the door with a trip car to Kunming, drink it and can send us on the train. He came that we have the makings of a double bill feature. In a double bill feature, he is very experienced in tea kettle to introduce a variety of tea, tea outside, that these do not get to sell, buy big cans Huade Lai, as long as 200 to block. See we do not have that, and that now is the promotion period, small can discount for each purchase that can be played. I look at the time, few want to leave, he spoke not be misled into cars, while for us to continue to drink tea. Time to 6 points, I do not care that he's tried to sell to get out away, Yuki is also now out, kind-hearted Etang soft-hearted, to sell a small can of tea, followed by an instant the young man disappeared.
A look out to the door, where there is any bus. Asked one man, it is no journey. Parked on the roadside for a mini-van driver came to go to 10 a few kilometers away, the county seat only bus to Kunming, asked if we do not rent car rental. I know that 2 km of the junctions can be cut outside the car, so rent carriages in the past, stopped the vehicles to Kunming, China and Pakistan. Later, in Lijiang Wang kulou Youth Inn, a director with the inn about this matter, she said she went to Shilin run into this person, but not to buy tea, but to take her to eat, depriving the car she was wrong but to stay a night at the Stone Forest.
Napa lake in Zhongdian to play when he saw a green pasture surrounded by a fence up on the grass were trampled as horse riding is very muddy. Inside groom in the cry: "riding to see Napa lake!" I have not ridden a horse, I heard that Napa lake beautiful, which he happily spent 30 yuan rented horses. Then it began to rain days, I do not Chuanyu Yi, soaked to the skin, muddy water splashing in the colorful saddle, and my body, an extremely awkward position. Grooms holding horses walked about 10 minutes, said that picking on the marshes in front. I look a look, where even the hint of the shadow of the lake are faceless. Many theories together with the groom, groom were all staring eyes, Xiong Baba way a lame argument. Have no alternative but to indiscriminately according to a few, like on the back. Later the car back to Zhongdian, Deqin, I saw in the way of the Napa lake, Napa lake has been very small, and looks like a pool of water on the prairie.
Shuttle bus ride from Zhongdian to Deqin, the same car were two pairs of foreigners young couples. To the Dade Qin, one of a bespectacled inquiries to our line, since it is foreign friends, we are enthusiastic to tell them. They discussed followed by a ride with us into the Mingyong, they point the Chinese will not eat dinner a la carte Winnie to help them, they just want to vegetable fried rice, and hold the meat. Carnivores Etang to see them very much wonder, Chizhai can grow so large. They also read about us the next day up the mountain with glaciers.
Wake up next morning, each spent 60 yuan Mai Menpiao, but also an additional 3 yuan to buy horse insurance card, card number written on the original groom was near the village, we compiled the number turns out the horse-drawn tourists up the mountain. We are a total of 10 individuals with four foreigners. To the riding areas, and only 23 horses, several moments with the six horses, groom reminders we have six out first, Winnie worried about foreigners slaughtered, and insisting on 10 individuals to come along. One of the groom dressed in camouflage uniforms took out a number of cell phone reminders, horses one after another came. Bored to death with camouflage chat, he told us that in fact these are mule is not a horse, because the mule's load capacity greater than the horse. Who have waited a long time can not last horse Winnie and I have to stay on and so on, other people get up the hill, camouflage clothing left.
Finally saw a child riding a horse came fast can not be moved groom, one of the groom wearing a vest that can pull us right Woliang the mountains, the other matter. We are very surprised to hear him Didigugu we understand that they do not want foreigners pull. We are very angry, saying that horses are not sitting, and groom were to sit back and forth can be added either pull. One-way, which we intend to sit down at Prince's Temple, 60 yuan, if the round trip is 80. Winnie asked how foreigners, foreigners Mankoudaying. According to numbers groom so that we launched, but it falls a fat foreigner can not be heard, the fat is too fat, like drum capsule capsule sacks, an estimated 300 pounds weight. A scrawny man wearing tights in the side of the holding mammoth silent. Foreigners on the horse he is willing to add some money, we asked to increase the number of tights, he said Grade 20. We are fat, said a total of 100, foreigners who say that as long as the mountains, what does not matter.
On the uphill on the way, Winnie asked come from foreigners, foreigners answer ISRAEL, the beginning we did not react, foreigners see us a look of confusion on the interpretation of what the national side in what we Sidongfeidong nodded. Finally, it understood that Israel, at that time if they say yes Jew (Jews), we do not have a clear on what effect? But they did not, I have been racking their brains to meditate Winnie was the world map.
To the Prince's Temple, we are scheduled to walk on the Lotus Temple, did not climb a few steps, fat pair of walk, return to Prince Edward Temple riding. Watch End glaciers, down from the Prince Edward Temple, that four Israelis are not riding they simply back away, Winnie busy reminding them have been talking a good rent return of the horse, riding does not have to pay so much money riding on, and they should be uttered.
Back to the foot of the mountain, I and Winnie each paid 80 yuan. Israelis wearing glasses wearing vests, groom beep-mile Bala speaking a pass, but also Winnie translation, meaning that vest impolite to him. And then they let us set out in a single, on the return charges, they took out a pen computing will be a signal to pay only one-way sections, and even more fat not give a 20 yuan. Could not imagine that these Israelis to use this against us and I suddenly Winnie scalp numb, overwhelmed. I told them that we have pledged to return rented, and have to give two-way money. Israelis hear his head, I have experienced the Israelis regarded as a!
Pimps and foreigners speak the same language, then they pulled me and Winnie evil sound money. Then a woman down from the ticket, she would a few words in English, asked after a few words, told us that should be given a two-way sections. We say that we are forced to, first, groom's wrong. Women do not mind, people went to the captain of the groom. While the arrival of a middle-aged, half-hedged and finally said, according to the original speakers give money to a good price. Life and death the Israelis refused and asked me where the police. I listened to a good gas and amused, replied there are no police.
We at loggerheads, the Israelis would be willing to pay only pay 20 yuan more than fat, immediately followed suit to force the groom pays for me and Winnie. I would like to but Bai Bashi thing, not as good as or even bankruptcy and misfortunes, as to be a good thing, then say that you Biechao with the groom, and the first foreigner to accept it the money, not enough, I make up.
Israelis did not understand, they believe that victory, and am glad to pay the models, but also to their groom another tip, 2 yuan per person. While the Israelis do not pay attention, I give grooms make up the money.
16:00 Zuo Juhui Deqin, and only one China and Pakistan, cars have not opened the door, the crowd had been huddled in the doorway. Four Israelis, with their big burly advantage, Enron sat four positions. Winnie and I did not seat, standing beside them, the Israelis looked at us blankly at a glance on their respective chat.
By Deqin, we get off, the Israelis did not catch up, I am glad they can finally put aside, they are too tired. But the more they want to avoid the contrary, the easier and saw, and later in Lijiang, Kunming, with their chance encounter. I heard that they shuttle back to Zhongdian, on the lost money, and disappeared a few hundred pieces, and we left early that day than they are.
Although there are gray tiles inside the ancient city of Dali, the Bai architecture top of the hill, but the impression is a big bazaar. Three Pagodas is a symbol of Dali, we intend to go and see. Outside the city there are many coachmen Wai came, saying that santa is not fun, it is better to Erhai Lake. We say look at the first three towers Moreover, to the Three Pagodas park entrance, a look at tickets per person to 30 yuan, only to see three towers only, at the door already saw that this could save the 30 yuan. Coachman has mobilized us to Erhai Lake, we have just promised a middle-aged women in general on the Arrows drove. Kitten said that the woman had been eyeing us in the ancient city is definitely pull our boat to. To the edge of the Erhai Lake, see the Erhai Lake parking lot cruise ships, oil-green lake, floating garbage. It encouraged women's lip pull us on board, this time we feel that a wet blanket, rented vehicles, mini-van to go back, closed the door when the woman rushed into the car unhappy to return to the ancient city went looking for the next target.
Back to Kunming, the station, along the way there have been a wide range of people asked me whether to travel, where to go. Walking on the road at night, sometimes from the dark street will be washed over a person, when you tense scowl when he handed you a card, the above is a reservation or a ticket of the company phone.
