Was hard enough getting Dechen "escape" out of the snow in turn I am stranded in Zhongdian, a full two days. Winter is really a plateau climate variability, unforeseen circumstances may occur at any time.
February 13
Zhongdian a night under the snow last night, and continued the next morning. Outside, everywhere covered with a thick layer of snow, feels like back in the days of snow in Beijing. 8:00 xiaozhongdian be filed with the drivers who contacted the look, and indeed they were, unfortunately, I guess - the small Zhongdian more snow there but he did pull us to the foot of a thousand hills, but we simply can not up the hill. Today is definitely not a go. Xiaoxiao SMS just came and said there Lijiang rain yesterday, today, in fine, I immediately decided to go to terminal Haba shuttle ride to Zhongdian, and then walk to the tiger jump. 9:00 Multi-pack Tingdang rushed terminal and got all the train was suspended due to heavy snow news. Back to Lijiang tomorrow to buy tickets or sell, because tomorrow, according to the weather conditions before deciding whether to start - just to escape from the Deqin, I was trapped in Zhongdian. Is really a bit miserable.
At the same time, has lived 45 days in Lijiang's whinny was riding on a shuttle bus in Lijiang to Zhongdian. Found that she was to see my message that butter is very beautiful, it has to look at butter Zhongdian. I am angry side of the car can come Lijiang, Zhongdian, on what basis the car will not be able in the past as he sent her a text message to tell her their decision-making was wrong, and she get in to speak out not to go!
Have been trapped, had to adjust their mentality in Zhongdian search playable place. Decided to pull the afternoon according to the Tibetan grassland stopping by children at home. With a total of flushing from the fetch of the two volumes of his photographs, Zhongdian washed well poor, all colors of the walk. To a Dai restaurant to eat after lunch go to the supermarket and bought two bottles of wine as a gift given to the Tibetan people.
Back to accommodation Chile Yao, and first went to post the photos to grasp what the teacher sent the child the village and the confluence with the Guangdong Mix Peng. To 14, Guangzhou, Kunming Mix who can now only choose from Zhongdian to fly back to Kunming, in the early morning waiting to go to the airport, but that can not be decided until two in the afternoon fly today, not fly, there was no Ming Ku. Similarly, because of bad weather, Peng am better off than we are bored in the hotel where almost watched a morning TV, so we invited her to receive the afternoon, a guest of the message to go home after the Tibetans are pleased to immediately go out.
All the way to go in the snow, according to dozens of minutes later to pull grassland - this time in accordance with drawing has become a snowy, snow cover tens of centimeters thick, the deepest parts of the knees. A vast expanse of whiteness, while wearing sunglasses still feel feel dizzy. Peng did not wear sunglasses, but to look at each of the snow will depend on a Red Jackets own in order to prevent snow blindness.
Is far from the depths of a row of Tibetan Grassland saw houses, roofs of houses, the trees are the snow really makes you feel like to some small towns and villages north-eastern border, also from the accumulation of snow can be distinguished from wheat rack to bar. That is what we want to go to the right place. Not far away from residential areas where there is a group of horses standing in the snow a motionless, as if frozen in time the same. They do not know why this legislation forward, if it is at night it will freeze to death? I squatted by the flatter group, unexpectedly thick snow, and a distorted body did not stand firm, on the whole body at once poured into the snow, leaving only a head directly exposed! In fact, lying on the snow blanket is very comfortable, Hehe. We also go towards the horses for a long time and finally see the led horse Mamai opened the pace, and led the horses slowly away.
Snow has been coming, although not quite. Days is completely gray, and hidden behind the houses nor the outline of the mountains, gray sky and gray mountains together ... ... casually walked into the courtyard of a Tibetan, a total from last year's National Day was pleased to say that he came to over this time, is also a casual knock on the door go in by the host's warm hospitality. He was very proud to say that time is not long, the family will remember him (in fact, because he mistakenly thought he is very handsome, so feel that others will remember him, ha ha). A door, inside the Tibetan mastiff on bluster up, but fortunately, Shuanzhe it, or give us an early kick it out, and He He.
Cried several times "Some people do," the master of the house, an over 30-year-old Tibetan brother was hurriedly ran out, followed by his two small sons, staring at us curiously. No matter how tips were from the older brother, simply means that there is no impression seen him, and was ridiculed me and Peng a while:). But Big Brother is still very warm, Come in the second floor of our reception room. Reception room is very thick middle column, indicating that the Big Brother house more affluent. Seated cross-legged in the Huo Tangbian just give the right to two bottles of wine for New Year's older brother, was pleased to accept it had. I took a few Alpine sugar to the two children to eat, they have to do, timid, looking at his father. Dad made a so happily did they get stuffed into the mouth in the past. (Where parenthetic digression, I think Alpine is a milk sugar, hiking a very good choice, heat enough, small size, easy to carry, especially the way on foot hungry to eat anything they can not stop time, including one in the mouth is very useful, not only to supplement the energy, which contains sugar can also make you feel physically weak, when go to play a certain sedative effect.)
As the snow outside, there is no wind, the smoke that produces the fireplace can not be up to the roof, from where the exhaust port to discharge, so are all filled in the house, the natural host family has long been used to it, as long as the bad weather is like, and those of us who may Buxing Le, comprises adjust relatively quickly, leaving a little something after some tears, and Peng have had to have eyes narrowed to a slit, but I do not care do not squint squint constantly flow in tears, has not been adapted over, Cana:)
Did not finish a bowl of butter tea and Tibetan cheese brother has brought us to eat, and Peng comprises all too sour, I'm the mouth-take-all:). Also client to his new squeeze of yak milk, really taste good, basic no Nai Wei, shows that we suspect that drinking milk is the usual thing added is correct.
Are chatting, Daisow carrying a bucket of water entered. The huge iron bucket that really surprised us, its height with the whinny backpack of 45 liters or less the same under the wide-narrow, upper part of the shoulder with the Daisow basic width. To know which filled with water! I spit from the tongue with a total and Peng said,咱if a bucket of water every day with such a practice, tens of kilograms of weight-bearing absolutely no problem climbing. The duo repeatedly nodded, then shook his head again - not back! Daisow walked the cauldron boils water before, does not remove the bucket from the shoulders, but to bend over backwards to direct the water in the bucket were poured into the pot of the two halves of which (the pot is a collector of the trinity of , the largest part is used to cook food for pigs, sheep and food, and a smaller part of the for cooking soup, the smallest part is used to tea, so that health can be a fire at the same time to do this three things).
Chat to 4 o'clock, the owner is very enthusiastic brother invited us to dinner for a while, and said there are several houses at home, so that evening when we lived in his house tomorrow morning the weather better, return to Zhongdian, avoid walking in the snow exposure to cold. Actually, the purpose of this trip that we know about Tibet outside the family's living conditions, but also rub authentic Tibetan meal meal, and Oh, but I may be cold heavier feel some fever, think, or early return to rest Well, got up and left. This matter until I had returned to Kunming also think it is quite regrettable, Hehe.
Move downstairs and found that the opposite has begun to clear up, and there are little piece of heaven has been gradually turned blue, mountain curves are also clear. Rushed Kacha the two.
Days slowly blue, and feeling much better also, but still some hate myself that it tends to a cold body. One side with a total of lamenting the missed meal from the Tibetan meal a great pity, a back edge to the road when you walk. Suddenly heard shouting behind Peng soon as they come back and you'll see that one I do not know where they come from the Tibetan mastiff followed her turn. It looks now as afraid of dogs, Peng Xiao Xiao, Zhi Gu stood there crying, no one dared move. We are not close to the distance from her, then release an oral command of his voice a bit, she did not dare move. And I are planning to return to go and were by her, one crossing the jeep stopped, a 40-year-old guy to get off the dog drove away. Peng hurriedly thanked speed up the pace to catch up with us, want to come is the dreaded single was the dog's "pursuit", and He He.
To the fork in the road not far from the county, I am a little burned powerful feeling, where you can just hit the car, called in a lease, where Peng would like to walk around, broke up the matter with us. And I were in the neighborhood pharmacy by the former out of the car and bought a thermometer and a number of anti-fever medicine, such as back quarters carefully read the instructions and found numerous serious side effects, there is no dare eat. Measurement of body temperature, they are not burned, only 36 degrees 8, and my own feelings very consistent, perhaps a belated reaction to the altitude bar. Just let it go, eat up a few bring their own medicine, sleep, sleep until tomorrow morning, probably on the hook.
Do not sleep for an hour, Xiaoxiao come, and come up with the majesty of medical workers ordered me to immediately get up and go to the hospital, I really do not want to go, also felt no need to, but now do not see a doctor insisted that whinny will burn up the night . Fail to beat her, and had to muddle to get up. Rushed to the Diqing hospital, the doctor recounted Youji measured body temperature, 37 degrees. They listened and said no lung problems (cough I have very severe). Xiaoxiao asked what the doctor gave me a test, I simply did not understand, the doctor shook his head one, we are here 5-point work, to my one person on duty here, laboratories as early as no one had. To open a bit medicine, Xiao Xiao do not bother to read the prescription, this medicine is not good,咱not take, go to pharmacies to buy another! Oh, my tour of the hospital Why come.
A taxi to the pharmacy, Ringing in the very authority of the place of several drugs, even there. Bought. Back to the residence one-take-all. Xiao Xiao Zhongdian travelers living in the club, chatted for a while on the back, and come at 8:30 tomorrow morning agreed with me Quzuo 9:00 shuttle back to Lijiang.
Last night, like elephant legs swollen calf was found with hot water deposited a moment, today better, but still not completely reduce the swelling, but also hot over again. Hands still some swelling, the typical symptoms of altitude sickness. Remember Hu's brother said he had a friend first arrived in Zhongdian, in a few days around the eyes swollen like a peach, where everyone thought he was being fought, in fact, behave more obvious reaction to the altitude only.
Because leaving tomorrow, and with a total of from talking up late.
February 14
Just get up and Peng received the text messages she Terminal - still does not start. Tiger Leaping Gorge appears to be completely wasted, even just to see the tiger jumped the time gone. Some dejected, reclining in bed with the whinny and text chat with friends in Beijing more than an hour. This is certainly no time to think about the next shop in Lijiang, and go back to what means to do a gift for friends who do? Only Gift Collection, affective re-light, and went to post office to buy a set of postcards sent to you at Shangri-La. Today is Valentine's Day, another Shangri-La's postmark, but also considered some memorable bar. Other days, there is little to write, and also send text messages 11 to the address. 10:30 Xiaoxiao received SMS, saying that the station began selling tickets, she bought a 11:40, and had rushed to the station. Just find a whinny, Peng sent a text message, saying that she was sitting on the bus should be issued by 9:40 waiting, and now there could be no car in sight. Scattered light snow also, we have estimated that selling their votes will not necessarily start is better to take the ticket back in a pragmatic manner and eating a good lunch. The conductor pointed to the window glass, inscribed with the words of the "sell rebate" that can not retreat, we had to go to dispatch room, this time a very jolly and immediately give us back the signature, and this made us feel that today might not start the .
Cafe in Tibet, after lunch for four yak meat in bulk, because whinny heard in Lijiang Lijiang Zhongdian cheaper than half the price. Turn a lot of supermarkets and specialty stores have not yet, made me very depressed, and whinny. Also went to Utopia Bar Liaotian Er, namely, roads and I like the grains of paintings made before the left a shadow. Later decided to go to Zhongdian, walk around the Old City. Old Town (center town) is one of deep consisting of a small alley, there are many old houses, many have been worn, mottled walls, or even only a mud-brick, encased in snow Man You taste, and I felt Huailai cock Station is somewhat similar to the old house. After the preparations for the completion of the ancient city of Lijiang is said to look like.
Big Brother yesterday, referred to in what Tibetans Tibetans beat a bottle of wine Square, highland barley wine, drank a stretch back to Utopia. Is really fragrant, unfortunately I can not drink, only tasted one. Hu's brother took some Tibetan snacks out at noon we are still a big market to buy a pomegranate, and then on the melon seeds, far apart a pass-Kan. Talking about 17:30, Hu's brother in the tidy up to prepare business, and we bid farewell dinner with him. To find the house I have been stared at for several days in Shandong dumpling shop enjoy "Valentine's Day meal," thin-skinned to eat three big stuffing everyone in the mouth distorted belly round, difficulty in mobility. Come home to find the nearest tea bar chat, play cards. Valentine's Day in Beijing, whenever I go home from work all refused to go out, in Zhongdian had somehow accidentally inverted once, Hehe. 21:00 Back to the residence, in the office were from the Internet, he had never even heard of Ctrip introduced to him.
February 15
Finally able to go! Carrying a large bag rushed to the passenger terminal when the 8:00 shuttle bus from parking lot open to the door waiting for me - and fortunately, Ringing in the morning seated in the car, or else I am afraid Yaoda car chase it. Originally Zhongdian to Lijiang, more than four hours to come, some sections are being closed due to construction in March prior to make a detour to the need to more than six hours, but today because of snow in front of a good walk, cars on the road was also broken once, We Zheliang the CMB will spend a full nine hours to get to Lijiang. Pretty nice scenery along the way, especially passing several times over and over in full bloom rape, but unfortunately Zheliang broken bus window is not open, can not take pictures. Sorry.
Out of the terminal has already 17:00, and Xiao Xiao Zhongdian before the departure to the 8 o'clock this evening bought tickets to go to Kunming - Fortunately, there is a down time for eating a dinner. Existence of the backpack Terminal (2 Yuan / pack), went straight to the ancient city. To taste a walk away Baba, delicious is delicious, that is expensive enough, only a small pancake, to 5 yuan. Lijiang is the Lijiang ah.
Even living in Lijiang Xiaoxiao 4 night went so far as neither to eat soy Dashiqiao face, nor to "97" to eat Naxi baked, and I like to eat goods is which course can not be missed, so let's Ben Rock Bridge, ate soy noodles, really good! Bought some yak meat in bulk to take home to friends and colleagues, they rush to buy the Bunun bell, before returning to "97" to eat baked fish - fragrant! ! There are many things that was quite true:).
20:00, night sleeper to launch. Our last day in Yunnan finally arrived.
Postscript
February 16 carrying a backpack at the Green Lake Park, watching birds, I started melancholy, because it can only be a cool day.
Back to busy, to think that many things are forgotten, and really to write only to find that many vivid images have been engraved in the hearts of the. No wonder some called memory of pearls, are left with are precious.
March 9 Namu received a phone call from her in Beijing! Zhongdian, when times in my children called me a call, saying that they had come to Chengdu, prepared to go to work in restaurants, and I thought they all went to the Chengdu 3. It turned out that despite the cold, Nuomu prefer to Beijing after a Chinese New Year brought a cousin will be in accordance with beads and with the village girls rubbing Mary came back to Beijing teahouse. Go to Chengdu, children and the only sub-Na Cong.
14 evening, I whinny to the restaurant to visit Namu and her friends. In accordance with beads previously Xichang school cook, rub Ma ago to work in Shijiazhuang. Now they are three restaurants massage department internship. Mouth most of the village's young men out to work, because the little things to do to stay in the village, every day is to sing and dance to lively. Lugu Lake's tourism industry focused on large Luohe, Rigby Island, due to relatively close distance of Luohe, another Tashi so people who are good at seizing the opportunities, but also won a share of points, but the traffic is more inconvenient to the village on the mouth accounted for only a very small number of tourists on foot Mix will go, but mostly focused on during the Spring Festival. According to Chu said that they have started out when a road. Roads comes naturally after some people started to run this line. Mouth, when we thought that Mao Big Brother house renovate the house because the old house needs repairs, but now I know that from the mouth Namu, which is received after the tourists in order to repair the. Such a village, a village repair continues, the future probably will be completely different and large Luohe commercialized. I whinny some loss, but then again, simply because those of us who want to see a pure walking thing is not to let people develop to make money. We can only remind myself how lucky in some places has not changed too much time to see some of their original appearance, and nothing more.
Northwest Yunnan began to write notes from this time, I submitted the report to resign. Donkey OK to me, a lifestyle choice has nothing to do, which is part of life. By the end of May, I will leave my beloved Beijing, from the west of Yinchuan begin my journey into the Ningxia, Qinghai, into Tibet, to return to northwest Yunnan.
Northwest Yunnan beautiful, I really will soon be back!
