The past two years, Inagi's reputation in the tourism enthusiasts can be said to Ruleiguaner whether to Inagi have to measure whether a person has become an important indicator of travel enthusiasts.
Finally, in September 2001 I started a long-awaited Inagi trip. To Daocheng there are two ways a departure from the pass through towns and Zhongdian in Yunnan, about 300 km journey takes about 10 hours. Another one from Chengdu via Kangding, distance about 800 km, takes about 16 hours, during which Kangding or Yajiang must stay one night. As northwest Yunnan also arranged prior to the trip, so we decided to start our Inagi Yunnan trip.
We have four individuals, namely me, Xiaoli, Ouga well over 60-year-old teacher Hu. The three of us this is a familiar friend for many years all of them are in the 25-year-old Hu teachers are in the Zhongdian join our ranks.
Zhongdian in recent years due to the rise of the tourism industry, development is very fast. Hotels, stores more than can be used as staging prior to Inagi. Zhongdian itself has no direct Inagi passenger cars, and only go to towns and the Pakistani bus, 8:10 every morning there is a group, fare is 50 yuan. At the same time, passenger bus station there were still three, four Beijing Jeep, Mitsubishi, Jeep, can run Inagi. Prices should be to talk about the general season, Beijing Jeep will not be less than 1,000 yuan, but we actually found a teacher Hu Zhongdian county-wide run of only one private Daocheng Toyota 4000 Jeep, the price is only 1,300 yuan, condition is not bad. Since we are more equipment, in order to reduce the transfer of Lawton, we will have had this Toyota Jeep. On a good price immediately left, time is September 25, 2001 9 am positive.
Select Toyota Jeep, is a very correct decision, it is our experience after the trip to the. First, it's better than Beijing Jeep shock absorbers; Second, it's more space inside; the most critical is that in high altitude areas of its horsepower is still strong.
Zhongdian to Daocheng can only say that the road is very general. Bicycle paths, and they are all dirt roads, most of the sections are the side of the cliff side of the mountain cliff, but our Tibetan driver was kept highly dash! On the road will pass through a place called "Shangri-La Grand Canyon", was originally called "Bi to Valley", in order to change the name of tourism's sake. Personally, I think this is a vulgar way, just as now Diqing in Yunnan, and Sichuan Inagi Nu should be themselves as the "Shangri-La" the same. Canyon is said to come first is the Daocheng of Aden, the two did not even look at the map together, but several snow-capped mountains across the middle only. The highest point of the way through the Snowy Mountains Yakou, elevation 5,000 meters. Along the way as the altitude increases, the obvious change in vegetation, from dense forest to shrubs and then to low or no grass or bare up to the hills. It is worth mentioning that, no matter how hard place, there are road maintenance workers quarters. One can see that some of the history of the house for decades, and the wall has been peeled off, exposing the yellow clay soil embryo. And be sure, a lot of high-altitude living quarters do not have running water source, because the surrounding uninhabited. Perhaps by days drinking bar!
Diqing of Zhongdian County, Yunnan and Sichuan Ganzi Tibetan towns and and Inagi are in areas where the two places 80% of the Tibetan people's languages are interlinked, but are not interlinked and Tibet, Tibetan, Tibetan part of the dialect. Residential areas between the two places is also a great difference in appearance. Zhongdian County, due to winter under the snow, the roof-shaped Wei Ren, Xiangcheng and Inagi may not be snow, houses are flattened. Zhongdian County, due to abundant timber, housing mainly of wood, Zhuanmu combination of natural colors for multi-wall, or painted in white. Towns and houses in mud embryo built wall is white, much to be able to see, exceptionally bright. At the same time doors, windows are wooden structures, and gave a very fine painting. I noticed that none of the use of glass for all windows, but the traditional wooden frame plus stickers. Inagi houses with stones Lei Cheng, wall thickness at the most one meter from the bottom up on the walls narrowed down. Outer wall is a natural color.
Toyota Jeep used for many years due to the former can not be tightly closed windows, billowing smoke and dust along the way, our hair, as if painted on hair spray, like Ying Ying's. About five o'clock in the afternoon, in the last one Yakou, we see the setting sun, under a yellow grasslands, scattered with some khaki-colored stone room, which is dotted with a lot of yaks, horses, sheep and pigs. This is the Daocheng County sumdo Township. From this to more than 30 kilometers of Daocheng only. The original mind's imagination is now graphically displayed in front of us, this really is the "last Shangri-La" do?
Motors more than 30 minutes, there has been a row of Tibetan residential areas, this is a Daocheng. Said Rice "city" did a lot of exaggeration, the entire town is only as "D" shape of two dirt roads, each about one kilometer, the whole town is worth mentioning that no buildings, compared to the county government building on the Many looked impressive, and a khaki-colored houses and those who simply is not a heavyweight. Road on both sides are building a number of hotel-like building, see the effects of tourism industry. Inagi county's population of only about 2,000 people, so its not a big town, watching the road, not many local people.
We live in the "Aden communities," the owner called Mao Shun days, also known as "snow wolf child", and self-a "communities of Aden," Web site, is a relatively well-known figure in the. "Aden communities," the ongoing facade decorated guest rooms on two levels, rooms are still clean. On the fourth floor there are two computers, you can access, five-hour. In such a backward place to actually be able to access, see the information on the outside and felt really wonderful! However, if those are the things another world, with nothing to do with the environment in which their side. Inagi of water is spring water can be directly used for bathing. However, with certainty until 8 pm every day without water, and periodically during the day is not stopped, reportedly is also a daily basis during the year, 51 water, and talking about the snow wolf child was also left scratching his head, he said, "Perhaps this will demonstrate the importance of water Bar! "Inagi voltage is not enough, basically there is no fluorescent lights, regardless of hotels, shops, restaurants are dim incandescent lights. That night, enthusiastic snow wolf child just have to help us better to go at the Geneva car, is Beijing 2020, fare 400.
6:00 am, days, or completely black, we set off. Because of the alleged road Henlan, when I wondered, I clearly see the Internet from May 17 onwards, in road officially opened September 25, but today is September 25 ah! I would have imagined there is a ribbon-cutting ceremony opened it. Facts have proved that my imagination is not enough rich, gradually as the days light up, I was stunned! Repair of the road for four months is one such? The road was full of mud littered with many of the large pit, some a foot deep. Car limped limp forward, the four of us sat in the car rocked, I was really worried about the sudden the doors opened to the shaking, I fell a big quagmire where it is also how to play? This road lasted for an hour, a number of good roads. Road on both sides from time to time to see groups of the yak, in crossing the one Yakou when they see a familiar Mani heap and streamer. After that the road becomes gravel and dirt roads.
70 km of the road open for nearly three hours, and finally to the Geneva village. Jiva village is located in a valley of the river side of the river course, is to melt the snow. A small village, but there are several hotels. We are the car at the Geneva villagers were told that the Geneva road to Aden, has been broken, and can only be riding. It is understood that the road to Aden is indeed poor, but did not to the point can not be opened, mainly at the Geneva village people also need income-generating, if we all traveled to Aden, then at the Geneva village who ride horses? I'd does not matter, but teachers and Hu Xiaoli some reluctance. Eventually ride, and I ride a mule and Hu teacher, riding a high first Ouga Malaysia, Xiaoli riding a pony.
Road to the Gulf of Aden from Ma, 26 km, which are mostly of Mengzi Canyon Gongga Galaxy side a small trail. River scenery on both sides can only say that in general, was impressed by is felt when riding the steep road. The river flows between the sound reverberated in the valleys. Halfway up the mountain road on the river, only a foot wide, and is rugged dirt or gravel roads, non-stop uphill downhill, and sometimes reached 40 degrees inclination. Downhill time, lean back, almost all horses posted to the bottom, on horseback, looking down a bit dazzled! In fact, not much riding relaxed and the body flash, flash, and almost to be asleep, and several times almost Duoma, scared into a cold sweat in! Others may think about me, I would desperately shouted: "Do not sleep!" Crackdown on the road is also a few people are employed in Guangzhou horse pack luggage, embark on their own come, the moment I admire their perseverance, no The next day I would like to have stamina than they are!
Dangling has been reached on such a quick afternoon at 6 o'clock, we are finally to the Daya Ding Chong Gusi camp. Chonggu Si on the ruins of the camp at the foot of a high ground, as a "concave" shape wood to build a half circle room. Behind the house there are several Mani pile, toilets, under 10 meters in the highlands a bit of an inclined flat land is the use of wood plus plastic sheets into a tent style, 2 door hung two wooden plaque. I did not go before, because I find this "tent" around the canals do not like the structure, meaning that there is a pit under the tent, what what is inside啦! Far you can smell the toilet location. In this way, there is a latecomer asked me where the toilet, I thought he must have had a cold stuffy nose! Let us look at the kitchen, if use a word to describe the words - "black." Almost all of the things that have been smoked too dark, the room randomly placed with a table, several chairs, and vegetables on the piles of firewood and the use of firewood. The fireplace burned brightly on the ground, full house is smoke, even burn a good drinking water of a specific smoked flavor. Our housing is still quite large, each with two rows of Chase, a 30 person shop to sleep no problem. The floor is stone, the windows are transparent plastic sheets, there are incandescent lamps at night by diesel generator power to 22 points.
Chonggu Si camp 3,800 meters above sea level, is to look at the best point of Xian Nairi snow-capped mountains, I estimate that no more than four kilometers away from a straight line, the rise can be seen. But also can be seen Xialuoduoji snow-capped mountains, it is clear. We own the convenience of eating rice, sitting on a big armchair while drinking coffee, eating beef jerky, watching the snow-capped mountains, this is the standard fairy-like life. As the day depends on the sunrise, so 8:30 we sleep, and I sleeping pad and sleeping bags to Xiaoli use, wearing their own clothes and then threw a piece of raincoat, and then covered with blankets, a good sleep!
No. 26 early in the morning at six, and I Jiupaqilai Ouga, and teachers and Xiaoli Hu headache and continue to sleep. Get up early to say, the sky is overcast, and Han do not see. However, the mountains the weather, saying that as they please anybody's guess. Temperatures are low, we put all the underwear. At eight o'clock, ate breakfast, we have two and the other four Zhongshan, crawling along the sea pearls. Better way to go is the steep slope and some of it. I am carrying 10 kilos of photographic equipment has it, in this high-altitude areas are more tired to climb up. Half an hour, climbed to a pearl sea. Pearl harbor is very small, probably two to three hundred square meters of bar! To play a popular analogy, if this is the sea, then we Dongshan Lake is even larger than the Pacific Ocean! Pearl harbor at the foot of snow-capped mountains in Xian Nairi, if the weather was fine, when you can see the reflection of snow-capped mountains in the lake, but now overcast, smoke-filled lake, feeling in general. At nine o'clock we are back to the camp.
We plan to go to Luorongniuchang, but the teachers and Xiaoli Hu is still not a good feeling, a bit reluctant. And the day was overcast, and seeing the sun. Later decided to stay in Chonggu Si Xiaoli camp, the three of us hired a mule pack luggage, the same day to Luorongniuchang Zaiqu colored sea and the sea of milk the same day to return. To the colored sea and the sea of milk, Zhongshan Road, has been those few people say that very terror, give me the impression as if the action should be like climbing to reach.
Qian Ma is a Tibetan child, cried Ding, only 15 years old, also a meter tall, a little more than four. Chong Gu Temple, the road to the cattle farm, 10 km, is still relatively good one, there is a meter wide, that is, on the ground full of mud. Roads in the valley extends the left slopes and forests, more than ten meters lower right of the road there is a river. I took a hiking stick, Ouga took a big trunk, two people walking in front. Teacher because of physical problems, Hu insisted on a trunk and Dowding walked slowly behind. Temperatures begin to rise, I am wearing only a short-sleeved clothing is stripped Ouga only a pair of shorts, some riding on the road from a cattle farm down Crackdown tourists, they also dressed in coat and saw a very Woliang dress surprised. Due to Hu and other teachers, we are taking a pause for extended periods, the speed is very slow. Finally Hu in front of the teacher wants us to go first, to the cattle farm and then join.
Days have been clear up, after passing through a forest, they can already see a lawn. Has been on the roadside that the river flows through the lawn, snow-capped mountains on the central Mak Yong stood on the lawn at the end, somewhat regret is that the central Mak Yong was cloud covered peak, but the clouds are moving in the west Gone, in the clouds and the The gap between the clouds there, we will see the main peak. We have chosen a good position, ready to shoot, but the photographic equipment were tied to a mule, the left-right, etc., etc., that is, a teacher who can not wait Hu. The main peak appeared helplessly watched a minute or so, soon was again covered, feel, or fate not enough.
12-point, we and the Hu and the teachers in the cattle farm. Ms. Hu has been all too tired to head pain, and can only be me and Ouga two people to five-color the sea. Because after that the roads are at an altitude of 4,000 meters or more, and the horses can not go into the mountains, so we once again reduce our things. Extra clothes on the cattle, but then days, it began to rain, I had no choice but to put the Jackets. Very sorry, my camera bag weighing 10 kilograms was Dowding helped me back, I am just back of a tripod.
After a period of marsh, the officially began climbing. Mountain is indeed very difficult to walk, less than a foot wide, full of mud. The roadside bushes and large stones affect the moving speed. Sometimes very difficult to climb for a while on the mountain, but still again, under a mountain is really infuriating. To know that it is 4,000 meters above sea level on the ah! Gone nearly two hours, but also do not see an end. I am a little discouraged, Dowding always said is coming, pretty soon. Almost every one hundred meters away, I have to rest a bit, in a natural Hongyadong near the rain together. Then I Ouga that I wanted to give up. According to locals, said to come here one can travel up to the colorful sea of less than 30%. However, Ouga explicitly oppose it, to see Dowding carrying such a heavy camera bag, further than I am faster, I have decided to continue. After the rain stopped we continue. After that the road even harder, and become more than 70 degrees of gravel, you must limbs and use. 2:30 pm in the afternoon, we saw a few tourists in Guangzhou, who are riding to the early went to the cattle, and now began to read down the mountain in the sea of milk. They said that in the above colored sea. This is a very big hill, very steep slopes looked up have not seen the highest office. The hillside only a few low long grass, there is no way that he played at random. Feeling limbs and use are not enough, the whole body is almost lying on the hillside, it is also the number of tourists down a loss Zuozhuanyouzhuan, no way to start with (Hill). Straight-line distance of less than 200 meters, with half an hour, and finally climbed to the summit of the hill.
Skies clear up, only the blue sky white clouds floating Jiduo. Colored the sea in front of snow-capped mountains on the side in the Xiannai Ri. Green milk the sea not far from the valley. Mak Yong Xian Nairi and the central confrontation between the two-phase two snow-capped mountains, of less than 2,000 meters. In fact, sea-colored sea, and milk themselves any better than those who Haizi to Jiuzhaigou beautiful, only in the snow-capped mountains, blue sky, white clouds, under the Indian becomes distinctive of the lining. This time is 15 o'clock, the whole mountain is only between the three of us, I and Dowding loudly singing Tibetan songs, that only in such an environment can truly release themselves.
4:00, we started down the mountain. Just half an hour to climb the slopes, but with more than 10 minutes down. Around 6:30, we are close to cattle farms, and in order to cut corners, we went Napian swamp. And seeing them covered with grass where a foot down can have a foot deep! Trudged, 7 o'clock, we finally returned to the cattle farm. Ms. Hu has been due to altitude sickness three o'clock in the afternoon to return Chonggu Si. I Ouga all walk, but only a mule. Dowding look for horses, but this time which you can still see? It is difficult to face the situation there, although we have been very tired, but 10 km to go!
We have everything tied to a mule, I let Ouga first ride, I and my Dowding two people to walk, pulls over that time. The sky has been dark, the last hint of sun shines on the Xialuoduoji snow-capped mountain peaks into a golden yellow. Even so rare to see a landscape does not allow us to stay more than a moment, looking at the front of Natiao through the forest trail with no end to think there are 10 km away, I can only mechanically walked on two legs seemed to have out of control, can only take but do not stop! Ouga riding a mule left us far behind, and disappeared into the twilight. Over the past half an hour, completely black days down, I have some short-sighted, through the moonlight to see some of the road. Dowding says that Ouga in front, but said they left. Dowding I shouted, but the street Natiao river completely drowned our voices. 40 minutes, 50 minutes, an hour later, I despair, and this guy ran full speed to land! Not expected to happen, then I remembered my flashlight, water bottles are tied on the mule.
I suddenly thought, Guangdong has a story of the missing tourists in Inagi, and later find other unknown persons, armed with his camera. And now I am tired of hanging a 7,000 yuan on the camera. This association gives me chills hit one immediately wake up much in the hands of mountain walking stick has also been grasped more tightly. In the dark forest, only me and Dowding two people, I gently asked: "Is there a beast ah?" Dowding did not understand what I had said asked: "What is called" ah beast "?" I explained , that is to bears, wolves, leopards like that. He said no. I asked people here have been robbed before, he said no. In fact, places like this quiz just to make me more calm, because my common sense tells me that animals are secure, not necessarily of the robbers. I even have good bear to think how to do this, the wolf came to the question of how to do the like. Unusual fatigue whole person in a state of high alert again.
About 20:40 am, there is a Tibetan riding a donkey, but also with a donkey from the cattle over, catch up with us. 56 meters from the see is not real, but full of desire, I would like to donkey! I would like to donkey! Dowding to see my physical Buxing Le, with Tibetan and that donkey to say that for a while. That donkey are Yimi Qi many thin, say good price 30 yuan. Then I found a donkey but with no saddle! No way, riding a bar! This experience I do not think people will appreciate, and riding on a donkey smooth body, feet almost can wait until they land, but they suffer less. Hand there is nothing to grasp, only to stays stubbornly on the donkey's spine. Uphill when the body backward slide, it has not anything. When downhill may really horrible, body almost had to dive into the river to go. Mountain rivers have more than 10 meters away from the vertical height, but this ass, loved to walk in through the side of the river! In the valley there is no moonlight, but then a little water with a faint reddish white. I can hardly see, this time simply can not control my life. Especially a few times, no firm ass, almost put me to go down. I consider myself courageous person, but this time the donkey is really frightened me. Pull a donkey that Tibetans and asked me: "how, comfortable, right?" "Feet are relaxed, but the hand so tired No!"
Almost 22 points, I returned to camp Chonggu Si. A lot of tourists in the camp before the piece of open space to meet me, this is also what makes me feel like a hero. Just like some awkward hand and ass with pants constantly due to friction, have been very bright yellow. Ouga appeared, he apologized and explained he did not control a mule, a mule was chatting up the way he ran back. He came back and the person in charge of the camp said this situation, it is also the management of scenic spots Daocheng waiting for me, they also indicated that the person in charge of the camp seriously dealt with, how can he call for a less than 18-year-old Qian Ma it? I also felt sorry at once, and constantly say no closed their business. After the food, sleep a night without incident.
27, I slept a Lanjue only up to 7:30 (I have a standard clock, usually must get out of bed by seven o'clock). The weather is very good, the Friends hold a variety of equipment in many brigades front of Xian Nairi and Xialuoduoji a while a quick photo. In particular, Xian Nairi peaks around completely cloud-free, I suggest that Zaiqu pearl harbor film once, but Hu, Xiaoli are not willing, not willing to Ouga strong, I will also give up. A lot of things that are realized after we have lost precious to her in the back after I saw the reflection of people photographed in the pearl sea Xian Nairi Xuefeng, I regret it. Chong Gusi life is still relatively difficult, especially not a bath for us is a big problem. According to the camp administrator, said he had two months without a bath in!
In order to rush to leave before the National Day Inagi, today we had down. Aden package of a Beijing gold whirlwind, asking price is 1,300 yuan, can be said to be very expensive, but can not stop us eager to go home. Way or not go, due to landslides, there is a way Gangchu Aden large stone, had to get off to move the stone. There is also a place is open demolition of a mountain, our driver immediately reversing 50 meters, everyone get off hiding in the car. Several more Menxiang, gravel, like the first four Fei She seems to rain. 17:00 o'clock, we are back to the familiar Aden communities. But prices have risen sharply, reportedly County Tourism Bureau's order. I found snow wolf son gave me a cheaper price. Contact the teacher to go out tomorrow, Hu car, we are prepared to pat surrounding landscape.
250 yuan, a small Changhe. 28 early, we first went to the famous red marsh, as long as the photo album is about Inagi, it is absolutely essential to one of your images. Red marsh grass is long in the middle of a swamp. We have photography, Wai came a group of Tibetan children. Dressed in shabby clothes, dirty, as if all of them have a small loach, very surprised to look at us playing with the photographic equipment. In some cases, only four or five years old, thirsty, they went to drink it inside the marsh water. These are the descendants of Tibetan, the same as the cattle were kept. They do not have to worry about the adults seemed to them, every day casually to enable them to villages, in the grasslands arbitrary play. I thought Dowding, less than 15 years of age, followed by day we walked over 30 kilometers of the mountain, I have tired to death, he was also a bit all right. We are Han Chinese children, work?
Then we went to the collapse of S & P Temple, part of Tibetan Buddhism in the Red Sect, and the Lijiang Yufeng Temple belong to the same denomination. One about 20 years old tall zaba I visited the hall with a detailed description of the ins and outs of this sect, as well as the evolution of collapsing Pu Temple. I have also been heard in Tibet, he was very excited and I talked about Tibet's temples, and warmly invited me to visit them through the room. When leaving he told me that tickets should be here, but feel that I am a sincere person, not collected. He also complained that the county Tourism Bureau asking them to sell tickets, but he thinks like us coming from afar to visit the temple is a devout person should not be received tickets! He also tilt the mouth, said: "They need to pay to let their own income, I did not accept it!"
Afternoon went to Ru Buchaca hot springs there are a number of small villages in the surrounding scenery is indeed bad. However, professional photographers, and those of us amateur biggest difference is that they have a lot of time. A view, they can shoot the morning, noon shoot night shoot, shoot every day, month and shoot. You are not, so in some places was clearly a good scene, but the light is not good, could only shoot a few on when the task.
29, we packed up and catch Iveco return to Chengdu, prepare for the next journey. Inagi really beautiful, but the conditions are too difficult, as the Northern Song Dynasty writer Wang An-shih's assertion that "the world KIWI, soul-sheng, the very concept of insurance is far from ordinary." So much so that when we feel that relative to the difficult conditions, she The United States and I was a bit in stride. But at the moment I left Inagi, I understand that this is not where all the beautiful scenery. I probably will then not be Inagi, but there's snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, villages, Tibetans have been reflected in the deep of my heart, of course, Tao Ding, and Wang Dan's light a small donkey.
