99 Longtan
Laojunshan about 100 kilometers away from Lijiang in Lijiang to Jianchuan between Lijiang chartered from the past, takes about 4 hours. Laojunshan are Three Parallel Rivers Protected Areas, no visitors, no electricity, some 99 Longtan the clear, and an undeveloped virgin forest.
May 4, arrived in Lijiang we started wandering in the old city. Because 51 holiday, the crowd inside the ancient city of par pile up everywhere, crowded, peak and visitors crowd. Laojunshan our hands on the little information, even the "Tibetan Antelope" and the Internet are seldom on the Laojunshan article, only heard about this season Laojunshan azaleas in full bloom hill and dale. One of the tasks that evening was to gather intelligence. However, went to the youth hostels, but still there is no Laojunshan a few words, only the city where an outdoor sports club boss said that her relatives and friends had been to. MY GOD! And do not know the same!
May 5, very early on we were in Lijiang that there is no masking the sun wake up. Old Town Inn's courtyard was quiet sun Akira's crowded. Car just driving out of the ancient city, they can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain towering in the blue sky.
Laojunshan have 20 kilometers to the mountain. We rented a Jeep, the driver first and last, is the director of the local land management, typical of the Naxi people. Han Han is always laughter, in the eyes but with a wire cunning, good driving skills. The last time up the hill, they were down at his party blocked by heavy rain, so he had not actually been up Laojunshan! With right Laojunshan yearning and unknown, and we hit the road.
Lashihai through time to take advantage of me and to stop refueling stop overlooking a hurry. Lashihai is home to migratory birds. Let not the season, only to see much of the lake. Blue sky, mountains, lake, very quiet place. Can be covered with a moisture-proof pad basking in the sun sleeping too. However, even before the afternoon, we still have numerous road to catch, hurry, hurry, leave the.
Laojunshan at the foot of the time, I have given Britain's asleep. Charges in the mountainside at the edge Villa casual eating, we drove up the hill again. To Laojunshan little car, food must be transported from the foot of the mountain, in the mountains to eat is not cheap, casual a dirty one Su-50 would have a soup, cabbage soup is excellent taste. Tickets up the hill about 30 yuan / person. Do not live in the proposed Mountain Division Lodge, far away from the mountains, to go to Britain 99 Longtan light on the road again for two hours. Eating a lunch I feel not all wake up, can be uphill Leng is to give Britain woke up. In addition to several turns along the way and rarely have only one lane wide, all stone paved road, low-chassis car may Hyon, and there are several mountain bike uphill we have repeatedly flameout. Qun long Villa is built on the foundation stone shop, an altitude of about 4,000 meters. When the Villa is at 2 pm, we are living in the Hills that night the only two guests. Villa Accommodation 80 / person / day, three meals a muddy a prime a soup 60. Dishes, after all, sent down the mountain, and the limited variety of high prices, but the amount is enough.
Settle down a little and I to come to the Longtan 99 embarked. Villa Lane Moso tribe girl reminds us that easy to get lost in the mountains to find a wizard, can be a guide to 100 yuan, astronomical ah, or the bar itself to find a way. Villa has its own repair the stone steps leading to 99 Longtan Road, in the Hills is also a blackboard and drew a rough map of the surrounding, I would like painted photos down, and later discovered did not have a heavy responsibility. Walking in no small way, heads are crowded in upon each of virgin forest, the forest is only the birds and turning crisp sound of the stream. Take the road up the hill a bit of asthma, but pretty soon we came to the Longtan edge. The photo is a 99 double-Longtan Longtan. According to local people, there really are 99 glacial lakes. We walk around to see the line 10. Some are on the hill overlooking, and some can walk Longtan side. Longtan water from the mountains due to snow, and the tourists are scarce cold clear water. Shady hill where you can see far off in the forest a reflective film, was found to be approaching the snow-capped. Excellent weather conditions that day, in the Peak we have actually seen the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. And Yulong, Haba's peek let us excited. We rolled out moisture-proof pad, shore up a tripod and binoculars at the sky Yaokan peaks stand, and in the ancient city of Shi You have a different kind of feeling.
Not a good mood to see snow-capped mountains in the past, I found road repair stone steps to a trace of the Longtan side will no longer disappear. Fortunately, we have encountered Villa Qun long internship in the 7 children. When we encounter the local people not to cheer the heart on the cold again - they are the first heaven and Laojunshan! In any case, nine pairs of eyes is better than two pairs of eyes, so that we can work together to find bar. Their sense of direction and we are simply not a grade: Those who came to look at not holding a compass, they accurately reported, the first direction. The problem is there is a direction but there is no way. We are in the woods Luanzuan, stepping on the trunk of the Xiu climbed jump. I was almost trotting to keep up with the way their footsteps.
Getting dark, eyes, or the endless expanses of virgin forest, my frustration is about to cry out. Poor Baba's holding to come Yijiao, mouth hanging flat to the ground in the fast. Flaring in tears moments before I heard cheering in front of soon as they drill into the edge of a Longtan. Sunset to Longtan a layer of gold plating, the vague shapes of the deep lake and could not utter a quiet, speechless beauty.
According to direction of view, the Longtan this is our hill overlooking the off, and when we see Tanbian a road, it is time to go out. Fear of fall into the trap swamps, we are far from the around the lake and the line, afraid to go too far do not see the Longtan, that she finally found the stone steps way. What follows is a section of the mountain, with the road, the hearts are no longer afraid, only to find that he has can not keep up their pace had tired.
Villa generator is broken, twisted and dark days. I do not know of altitude sickness or high altitude the temperature is low, and I come to cold Zhidou, but little activity breathless step do not want to move. Surrounded by darkness, the people in the Villa warm greeting us to Huo Tangbian heating. Rectangular fireplace where burning off tree branches above the stew pot with the burning of black. We nest in Huotang Bian, drinking tea, munching specially to us in the fireplace inside out lamb roast, listening to old hunters tell stories, no electricity at night do not want to imagine a less tough.
A bath is to not want to do. Face and feet, in the same greasy basin, hot water on the fireplace is burning, it may Heidengxiahuo's impossible to find cold water, will the wash, and tough the night has just begun. The first cold. We brought down sleeping bag, covered with Villa quilt, or feel cold. The second is altitude sickness. Headache, headache Zhitiao. Also breathe. Do not have their own sleeping bags on the cold, sleep tight package, package tightening the breath. I was the choice of this dilemma was finally asleep frustrating to come to the altitude than I am tall and 15 centimeters above sea level the gap between him one night, no sleep.
May 6, we chose to go a little lower elevation falls to give up climbing 4200 meters of the main peak. This time, go astray, and the wizard's money is not the province. After breakfast, back the point of dry food we set off. Start walking uphill or when the lane. After 2 km, without any sign that we turned in between two trees in virgin forest. Guide told us that the woods are 3,4 100 bears, but also to teach us to lie down and play dead to see bears. Soon we lost direction, followed by the wizard in the forest after the shuttle. I do not know how many years of accumulation of fallen leaves to the paved road at the foot of a thick layer of natural carpets, soft to walk on, the people feel that such a lie is also stuck in the deciduous species inside to enjoy. Mountain slope is very steep, we ran forever. Not tired, but the steep slope of soft ankle road a lot of pressure to bear. Too easy or very easy bad shoes Wei a foot. To go half-way into the bamboo forest before we take a break at once, then can already hear the roar of the water falls. Rest on the ground a few animals, piles of droppings. I am very worried about asking Wizard is not the Bears would also like to break off. Guide said that it was cows, but I suspect that cattle, how can the total climb a mountain so steep, but the wizard on the road intermittently turn on the radio, he always let me guess he was followed by songs Dao Shi, chances are the animals to pass a message: Some people have come to , and you far away from the spot. Come to comfort me to see our body bright clothes, bear to think that we toxic and not very tasty, was scared that we had a chance to escape it, Oh, raging not play dead, I would not bite it.
Waterfall edge down to the bottom, at around 11:30, waterfalls and a high but not wide, apart from the surrounding water only a Liangsheng bird sound. The surrounding rocks covered with moss, a waterfall of the pond water green, not big, but can see that deep. We found a large stone blocks laid them out by lunch, white water, steamed buns, and vacuum egg sauce. To eat very little and I were eating and drinking little guide. Eat, and drink enough, and we rolled out moisture-proof pad basking in the sun sleeping too. I fear that the sun hat covering her face, but it will certainly not reassuring glance opened a hat out for fear of a nap woke up one removed the cap was not come to see the smile looks like but Zhang Xiong face. Can not deny that China has many beautiful waterfalls than this, but none of the forests, silent valleys, it is also the hope of the flaming Jipa so full of mystery here.
1:30 pm We are Having set out to return to their barracks. Before departure, I sensed that this would be a very difficult walk. Mountains and there is no way, some steep slopes over 60 degrees, there is almost straight up and down, raised his head and look at the sky not only the endless forest. We are from time to time in the trees and drilled sideways, and sometimes pulled climbing tree trunks. Only on the plateau may not completely adapt to walk a few steps I have legs, chest tightness, wheezing like a shrub of the lead, only by his hands to help in order to barely move won. I climbed 10 meters of each would be required to rest, and sometimes just leaning against the tree, simply because it will allow me to sit down and stand up and breathe up into a ball to come to talk to me I can only nod or shake their heads air force, it has even roll band Climbing hands and feet, its painful to behold. Each asked the wizard, he would say a break twice again to be both N times, we are still doing the forest reptiles. At first I also clamored called tired and wanted to rest, then tired, tired, to not dare to say, I'm afraid to talk about the psychological suggestion would be to completely abandon their efforts to move forward from there. I can only give up to live with the bears in the forest husbandry, and no one can help for me. Despite a long way to go is not in the end, as never be apart from a step by step to move forward, I have no choice. I almost became the Department of walking machines, Mai Zhaotou, set teeth, ears that only his heavy breathing, heart rate seems to make the heart with every breath, "blurted out." To come all the way to coax me to drink water, tease me speak, wanted to shift my attention so I relaxed a little, in fact, I know, he relaxed a little better than me. Break countless times in countless hopes disappointed countless times, the wizard in front shouting, "We had the highway," I had been too tired to cry out, looked up and finally see the front of about 20 meters inside the gap in the woods showing traces of the road. I can not believe what they saw something really roads, happy little tear come, I look to the spirit, directed at the Lai Lai shouted "We're into the road, and we want to." To look for is a tired and silly, and that the reaction is not, woodenly maintain the rhythm, Oh, the original big burly to have come to have such a time, considered by me to see.
On the road day Piaoqi a light rain. I am tired and hungry and cold, hungry and cold are not adequate to describe the dire situation at this time, from memory, I have always been not so pathetic. Lai Lai is also tired and miserable, and as clumsy as the only Bear heavy footsteps moving forward. However, after all, is to the roads, and slope of slow more, even though the mountains at an altitude of 4,000 meters, even though at the foot of the road bumps and hollows, despite our exhaustion, and compared to earlier years in the jungle, we do not say walking like a champ as usual, at least from the action reptiles evolved into humans.
We immediately spread to the Hill sitting in the door of the cafeteria, even upstairs into the room, put all my energy gone. Moso tribe has long been passionate girl bubble good ginger tea for us. She asked how we feel, I have drunk a cup of ginger tea before Biechu saying "this afternoon than I have in the past year, way to go even more." I feel like I have never again been so tired. I can not believe, from the waterfall to the road 1.5 km, from the 2 km of road to the Hill, 3.5 kilometers down the road we have gone four hours! In the virgin forest of 1.5 km of which nearly three hours to go!!
After dinner we went back to dark days have not room to sleep. It was early, in fact I can not sleep, but really tired, with no spirit to do anything - including chat. At this moment, only the sleeping bag is my paradise. Dim do not know how long before, Moso girl Mengen prepared for us that evening. Wanted not to, and can be a Hill 10 attendants have replaced several of their national costumes to prepare for our two guests this evening, it is Shengqingnanque No matter how tired is to climb up.
Generator repaired, brightly lit dining hall, everyone has been waiting for us dressed. Small and for our drivers to present their national costume, Bai, Naxi, Tu, Tibetan, Mosuo family, really flowers. Sure enough, well-deserved reputation of minority singing and dancing, to come to them have been pulled into the fighting jump circle. Naxi dance is a dance beat, is essential for a holiday celebration. We form a circle hand in hand, singing marching dance spots, the only two of us apart from the party left me moved, or moved. Unfortunately, some of our inadequate, and did not play long felt tired. Villa manager brought us the rule of the grass is about altitude sickness, I do not know is to adapt to the plateau was tired, no headaches, etc. I fell asleep.
The next morning woke up days Piaoqi a light rain. The Villa would like to make another point around the edge of the Longtan photos, because the driver was worried that the rain will freeze seal off we can only give up the idea. Laojunshan and come down en route when the scenery in another direction. Even more lush rain forests, across mountains in the alpine meadow Yinyun in a more quiet and solemn, the most beautiful of all - the azaleas are blooming in Laojunshan. Laojunshan did not come before the impression that the only hillsides azaleas in full bloom. Came only to find this year's flowering late, the mountains with very little bud. Did not expect that a mere three days, the rhododendron has a 1 in cliff bloom of. White, pink, and yellow, clumps toward the wind, wearing a dew. Although still far away from the hillsides, but at least gives us an imaginary template. Proposals, if so and so want to see azaleas in late May into the mountains. Imagine how the display is everywhere one of the magnificent scene.
Come to be regarded as mountain climbing injury, and thigh muscles sour pain. I am all the way to make a little worse, to see him through that mountain of flowers and bumpy from time to time in with a small fist hit him in the thigh. He started off not react, but to pick up his big hands covered in my hands. Later found my deliberate intention on my teeth, and can be looked at me somewhat helpless innocent eyes again. Again would like to remind Mix - the good old saying, the only woman and the villain is also difficult to keep. In the unfortunate event such as the villain Ainao met a woman loves to play, then ... ... Oh, laugh and begging, and on the road a short time a lot.
Small and family lived in Shek Kwu town, we took the opportunity to climb the roof of the land management point of view in a very good first saw the Yangtze River Bay. Maybe on the plane to see this first Bay, a little bit mean, otherwise, do not look worth mentioning.
Lunch outside a shop in the ancient city to eat, and 30 yuan enough for four individuals to eat. Living in the pre-Jade Dragon Garden. Old Town Inn is not the genuine, but the spacious rooms are even better. 300 / day, in good condition, as well as free breakfast. Location of the ancient city of Side, cars can drive directly to the hotel entrance (motor vehicle can not enter the ancient city), we can save people carrying luggage through the old city heap suffering.
