Chengdu, Sichuan's walk - Hailuogou - Kangding
A, Ru Shu
Aircraft finally off a, time yes December 31 2001, 13:15 towards Chengdu direction.
Original Ru Shu really so difficult, burglary thought a beginning I chose beyond the bounds of road is correct to "difficult roads of Shu extremely difficult for Deserved" old saying, but 490 ticket Guangzhou to Chengdu certainly better than same 4 over 100 train votes comes bargain! Course this yes imp chiro week ago fly Chongqing price, but now yes New Year day before rose 620 However weigh weigh and elephant snails like consume life over 40 hours on the train compared still acceptable. Unexpectedly, or chess poor a forward.
Because set flights yes 08:15, at home go to airport spend over 1 hours other words sky still hazy I must from sudden growth's quilt get up. Despite body fossa till this moment most yes warm discomfort temptation me, rather moment more exciting I every pore is Sichuan呀gourmet. Order not waste time, early flights catch past and been Chongqing early 1 days into Chengdu imp rendezvous breakfast Lian lunch together then stroll Chengdu, then evening again Mei Mei eating hotpot ... ... Chengdu one day fixed up in the evening supplemented back night before sleep insufficient tomorrow, spine Tau voice reveals that kind Sichuan spicy Gas can ho Haoran manner boeng Hailuogou Bingtian Kawachi gone.
However, terminal li listening "very sorry notice" brains somewhat numb "Chengdu flights counterpart does airport unable time takeoff" stomach began peristalsis, followed stronger flipping "takeoff time unclear!!" Heaven! Airport consistently ignoring waiting time life ugly vices I understand this will my patience another serious torture, Look, my stomach!
15:30, my feet finally first set foot Shu capitals land. This is my sitting most unbearable flight, elevation reasons or weather reason? Ear strong clogging seemed longer own, and very strange surprisingly, he still hear stewardess of laughing. Found imp stay there's Shuhan hotel, That yes Chengdu User help set O.K. then her from 1 days idleness Just for an waiting my wandering pulling back: I come!
This day weather: Chengdu, fog.
II Eve
Shuhan Hotels situated Chengdu City southwest, oblique opposite is Wuhou Temple, doorways multiplexing bus traffic very is convenient. Only our go time door street just Arinaga dug, soot in noses rolling take Yanmian by.
Chengdu sky filled with fog as if entire cities in floating mistakenly machine reason yes toe fog relevant. Leaves yes gray, sides houses also gray, I think this with winter okay. Pavement yes eye most want watching yet forced carefully staring because accidentally would have got --- people there ah already habitual continually to ground spitting, I somewhat worried about their shoes.
Bus There conductor, hands clutching big stacked ticket deadpanned cry forward; Station beside rickshaw three Qun two groups Designate passenger; cyclists Tingduo,悠悠, but nor elephant ordinary say as sluggish; I also悠悠speaking, scanning forward YA famous Rongcheng beauty.
Till in Chengdu last day go Dufu Caotang, to Sanxingdui Museum, the everywhere enveloped in fog Lane. However Interestingly is that in Sanxingdui mist heavy groping, as is my opened calendar 3000 years ancient Shuhan Yunzhewuzhang mysterious veil scene that really makes people aftertaste.
Arrived not stand stomach tortured Woliang decisions early out foraging. Chengdu User has left a words night to come small Poly, incidentally discuss tomorrow itinerary therefore dare Paoyuan.
Chengdu road based downtown Tianfu Square axis to Quartet proliferation distribution, like gossip map, is not in keeping Mr. Kong Ming relevant do? Ha ha! Wuhou Temple Avenue This spiders lines and Yihuan connecting suburbs land estimated people meat fire rising Sichuan shop less carry on; and imp yes Wen spicy fierce guy. But my stomach already hanging tongue Suddenly saw home shops, clean, boss yes bulky guy, Zhushou Qing stew spring noodles, I still could not help took small dishes red spicy shredded chicken, in Sichuan Venue spicy nonstick how could worthy here elders ah!
Imp sense of direction strong in just 2 days has nearby Bagua Figure touched months bottom. Days dimming down, street suddenly on bustling up, suddenly emitting many pendulum buy stalls, hung out dim lights, feeling like previously Guangzhou Gaudi Street.
With imp acquaintance very occasional. That night, Chengdu Shu Cats southern tour Yangcheng, donkeys home gathered, unprecedented, rather little devil as donkey, one of the brought Shenlong rack photographs audience glaring; in That Night, I am not Mix, just Cou lively passing ; respect That night after, leaving our Ban leave freely friends. So With April's Yangshuo Assembly divisions, June Yang Tianhu henceforth out months Li Chunyuan, July Tung O Island sleeping beachhead ... ... by unfamiliar come together This is also fate bar.
Tonight yes Eve ah! And this late, I still yes passing equally unfamiliar faces different is that in foreign land, smile same cordial. Speak Rourou's Xiao-Yan an Laochengchichong look unexpected young gently very; Egypt Queen voices highly Porcelain; 2 Lan and his companions before us gentle; similarly from Guangzhou pair children quite interesting, Gao bachi width bachi (25 Tsai words) of an Hoang fat with petite Linglong's Eiji, how to look how not Minato together; there just Wuhou Temple Chushi's Beijing friends come. And imp whisper inferior forcing Tai Huoer drink Guangdong tea! Asks them Since GU Da boiled mutton let Woliang in the room Shadeng it.
Chengdu, Guangdong tea, Guangzhou she both and They and Chengdu donkeys who this late like traveling back That Night.
Happy new year! Cheers!
III Hailuogou
January 1 2002, overcast changing to sunny.
Morning a vehicles Guys and Dolls already Naoteng heading Hailuogou of adult Ya highway, and begun subparagraph highways because fog blocked fast 1 hours cars nor affect Tai Huoer frolic mood, so air also alive up. To Ya'an time, sunlight already intimate us.
Through Erlang mountain tunnel, sunlight favoritism singling out hill two kinds scenery. However, whether yes Xiangyang Department vertical yes winter earnest green, or dorsal Yangji bedding ice withered branches Canye, Goudi straight Santen already withered still loftily erect Solitary tree, invariably voice reveals life For moving. Occasionally turned an bend mouth Weiwei's an Xuefeng so Shi Shi然地li In our front knowingly unattainable has tempted entire vehicle marvel! Car constantly Shui forward bend, Hill in constantly upward extension, elevation yes increasingly high, ears also tempted manner Ming ming. Window skimmed hillside bare obscure soil and emergent chunks snow kind deep Huihe with callous pale not help person Stimulated Lingling beaten Cold War, but should also life inside trembling bar.
Evening Accommodation Hailuogou a battalion this is Xiao-Yan long set O.K..
This night quiet, apart they fossa in the room li playing cards big kill Quartet, I and little devil on bubbles forward 80 degrees spa, facing ho months When empty, breathe 0 degrees Qinglie air, put physical indulgence; around our those deep Yamakage, moonlight put hiding snow shadow reflecting little pale; thoughts also With sulfur spring Fanchu plume of aerosol waft forward ... ... If life this time to disappear if just let disappears better.
January 2, sunlight brilliant.
Finally subject not live on the 1st Glacier strong temptation Guangzhou four Group sit world most expensive Peak Tram (160 million). Short while, Gongga Mountain peak Aiai Phi snow already seduce forward us. Gongga Mountain in Tibetan in meaning "supreme, white flawless Mountain", peak altitude high 7556 meters, peak on indistinct indistinct Shirake Also in flirt forward drifting across peak Baiyun. Glaciers elephant eruption like tremendous snow stream pouring into Qianli gully Some yet Chung rolled Shan underneath on thick Yu mountainside accumulation condensation, Millennium centuries through Wind frost's sword, ice ditch crisscrossed Daoxiao like glacier bottom yes vigorous land. I truly yours to such majestic strength that is kinds people enthuse heartbeat accelerated forces of nature!
I and imp plan is 3 from Hailuogou go Kangding, they are reentry Chengdu. To more intimacy Snow Mountain, I and little devil want evening stay in three camp, so with them "tearful" farewell.
Not thought luck question, although came here fog locks Rongcheng; because in Hailuogou 2 days Du saw Rizhao Jinshan, that yes Morninghope projected onto Snow arising breathtaking specular effects. 2 Qingchen stood a battalion concept platform can only lens possible closer closer Despite this, shook still filled physical every pore. 3 in three camp same time we holding camera hands dew in Bingbing chill in Oh forward, stomped, half an hour wait more than just shook naked eye can see on standing on Hailuogou Hotel wooden room behind That 2 dressed dazzling golden iceberg seems fingertips ... ...
Four, Kangding and wood lattice wrong
January 3 sun still brilliant.
Noon, we fortunately pulled along an bound Kangding tourist limousine. Along the way, an river always haunt around us now dry season along there area riverbed bare. Cars Guo Luding counties, River seem especially wide before awakening that is Dadu a. Because Maintenance, Luding Bridge plate removed retaining only 2 Tieso transverse hanging River. Hint sunset invested in waves on little Xia color surging, gaze between river changeable forward as if yes one Swamped a wave blood red in tumble! SENS year what choppy! Rendered us impossible language.
Entered Kangding city days almost evening. With tours parted, we both along through cities off Kangding River gaze find hostels. 1 Tibetans open small hotel colors very Zhang Yang, special yes hostels backyard respect next to a Tibetan Buddhism An Jue Temple back wall. Entered go, boss looked indifferent seems see accustomed ours brigade who.
入城river Chuanji, days and nights immersed in roar ri town seemed live forever without tranquility. People there accustomed bar, in roar Sino Carefreeness eating hotpot, drink buttered tea. Night streets pedestrians scarce, small ALTO streets running, but mostly empty seats. River sides almost a fluently restaurant almost entirely hotpot shop. I finally not stand temptation撞开a an willing do for us Yuanyang hotpot shop, regardless, and Tuzhao tongue vocative forward spicy gas a concatenation string狂扫. There, hotpot (later learned called spicy Tang) very interesting pot red get purple chilli soup, 1 days down without replacement, add point water Thus round forward countless allocated people eaten.
With locals chatted had Paoma Shan, chatted they song Kangding love song, his disdain's expression: That song ah are you Han outside wind Chuan we do not likes to hear. Suddenly We became two Kangding fool, so determined not on Paoma Shan.
January 4 early morning got up, we going muge wrong.
Muge wrong grassland distance Kangding over 20 kilometers, town no bus go there only chartered, now yes low season, 150, not packet tickets.
Cold wind flipping forward already bare brown bodily muge wrong grasslands and mercilessly penetrating our marrow. Blanket's big chunks snow also Huddled in that huge black brown li. Yuanwang That Yihong savages sea, have condensed into ice. 1 Tibetan lad and his sister are holding their Baima waiting us.
He told Renqing, he helped own reform names.
Renqing accompany we turned brown grassland came their temporary rest stop place from here overlooking which an snowy Kunga peaks. Its head high lifted, disdaining forward blue too shining sky. Surprised me that in this temporary camps Renqing tribe also provision a small Slopes located small shrines to worshiped their gods, that yes using small stones piled towards is That Xuefeng!
"We lifetime down have God it," Renqing said Daoqing wind he wearing only two unlined garment That is Han containers, his sister same; feet Deung is exposed half heel of Jie Fangxie. "You not? How could not? You ... ..."
I can not answer him. Could pairs He said I was atheist? Said I born life belong my own it?
I only silently listened him, listen to his said they God that he favorite Han songs said he thought town go but he must first money; home far go again away muge wrong horseback must 1 days journey. He actually sang a few pop.
We say you sing Tibet song bar liked listen, he said Tibet songs you not understand ah, I said understand the comprehends. Yes understand, he, speaking in hoarse throat singing eyes, just last night Kangding a snack li who wearing Tibet skirt girl identical. Night imp out his camera To and her photo, girl excited an arm around me; call her singing呀but tweaks up. She and brother on at this parlor, see out Han boss treats her siblings well, she likes life here. But when we mention wanted tower public grasslands, her eyes shiny, "That yes my hometown ah, where there beautiful grasslands you to there? Nice!" I know Whatever her went where not will forget there grassland, her roots there.
Us in this stone piled shrines former clap hearts silently wished Renqing by the desired live as he wished.
Zermatt ran and In this an grasslands wind whistled, cloud in mobile. Renqing said summer come bar here very pretty Oh, hill and dale rhododendron bloom. We imagine draw.
Rotary when Renqing pull we went muge wrong seaside his cottage where wants us taste he has done buttered tea, that really good extremely! Fire Zhushui, raw onwards stoves, flog banner buttered tea, Renqing hand busy, short while and forward diffuse of buttered tea incense, a house warmth.
Tibetan harrow, Renqing bent teach us how to do Tibet harrow. Dig bowl barley powder, and forward buttered tea, forefinger, middle finger ring finger three fingers feet close together closely Wanbian come pinch must simultaneously turning forward bowl until shape into massive, became Tibetan harrow. We finally personally doing an piece Tibet harrow broken stuffed stomach, big mouth drinking butter tea. He looked We devour, grinned, silly off had hats, rubbing pont grass like recklessly again wear also detached again wear, this became his habit routines.
This is my journey encountered lovely an person.
Here seems end.
