Explore the thirties a lot of great mountains and rivers swim across the world of American scholars Luokeboshi praised Kawagebo is "the world's most beautiful mountains." United States National Geographic magazine listed it as the world's five "last pure land," one of the parties has decided to apply for World Heritage.
Kawagebo, in the Tibetan Village is a "white mountain" in Italian, was Tibetans respect to "snow-capped mountains of the gods." Legend was originally 9 18 Kawagebo arm Sha Shen, after Padmasambhava values, subject to lay a warning, and repented, converted to Buddhism and become the son of King Gesar terra-arm of one Owen, in charge of snow-capped mountains from the foot of human well-being and fate after death. Now been enshrined at the altar on the body is still riding a white horse Kawagebo in hand a long sword, the British gas exuberant. Is not the beginning of autumn and winter, Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, pilgrims all the way pull Yang Fu Zhang, came to worship in this soul Zoran monument. Kamiyama chanting detour around them, ranging from a few days, as many months. If every Tibetan Year of the Goat, "who better to turn a hundred times by the" creeping volt climbing scenes spectacular.
Next year is the Lunar Year of the Goat, one can imagine the time before the grand occasion. Even such a legend: if you are here fortunate enough to pay their last respects to the mountain's true colors, then the future, if they boarded the Potala Palace, they can, in its south-easterly direction into the bright clouds to see Kawagebo The figure is indicative of the high summit and its far-Hui, and its lofty position in the hearts of Tibetans.
Diqing rich in religious atmosphere in and around Tibet, Tibetan Buddhism's letter resettlement have always considered here as a pilgrimage place. Kawagebo Tibetan people will be full of a religious flavor, its place among the Tibetan areas in the first eight Kamiyama (specifically, which of the eight Kamiyama? Also requested to know the comrades enlighten). Karma Kagyu Tibetan Buddhism, is said to send the black hat Pakshi 2nd living saint (1204-1283), who can not come to the monastery of believers to use for the next "velvet praise Kawagebo praise", which pairs of kava Gerber made the following description: "... ... Avision cross the boundary of fire in southern rub wagang 'Urban wang' France and Taiwan ranked top of the pile praise Yamagami Kawagebo, the shape of public Ji Lin, the top like snow, the offerings on display, its color like a flowing white hada. ... ... from a distance, overlooking the Kawagebo Yamagami, smoky. "Buddha Dharma in the broadcast power of scripture, praying Buddha-nature:" ... ... I have this affinity for son's view, are both trees, the valley ... .... In the field of vision in the holy mountains and mother of Fort quiet dwelling place blank lines, are holding out pure, always full of blank lines Warriors. instrumental music played, loud, such as cats and dogs Rain Elegy . Guanyin good deeds, such as gathering shrouded. I pray to the Holy Spirit Kawagebo single-minded, evil ... ... barrier, sin comes when the King pray for mercy compassion. ... ... water, the bridge is no bridge, then one is no other road staircase ladder, There are difficulties public assistance, the mountains Temple is to construct a temple. Prayer Cashmere Chan-Yamagami Kawagebo Nirvana lead a paradise, so far not re-enter the underworld, to escort the dead went straight to ascend to Western Paradise Paradise. "Today," velvet Zan-Zan Kawagebo "Prayer in the form of wood is still popular in Yunnan and Sichuan Tibet.
In the observation deck on both sides and the surrounding hillside, covered with a devout Tibetans and local guests to the mountain's hada worship and through the fan; we will also hung a white hada In the meantime, to express their kava Gerber's admired. In addition to viewing platform at that time the staff of this group of people only if we are, we brought four cameras and a DV, then all of the Kawagebo alignment. As the weather was so good, we also achieved the best shooting condition. Come back to see films, almost all the photos are clear and bright and very desirable. At that time team leader, said that he graduated from 1984 to Diqing work now, I've seen Kawagebo can be said that numerous times, like today, when it is only a handful, you are lucky person Zhenzhen ah! Yes ah, Merrill's climate vagaries, snow and rain all in the twinkling of an eye between the Yin Qing. When we returned the next day, Prince Edward cloud completely snow covered peaks, and even to leave no trace of cracks, we can only facing the snow-capped mountains of the direction and Kawagebo say goodbye.
Diqing Tibet was also widely rumored in the way a wonderful thing, in October 1989, the tenth Panchen Erdeni do Gyaltsen Masters here pay their last respects Kawagebo, the sky was dark, snow-capped mountains are completely covered In the densely Nongyun, whether in the ceremony was accompanied by officials of the Tibetan people are sorry for the Masters. Masters told to one staff member whispered a few words, that comrade will soon get to a bottle of regular soft drinks saw master hand to tell something Kawagebo while holding the bottle to drink slowly Saxiang the ground, On the last drop of drink from the bottle fall, a miracle happened: enveloped in the clouds on the rapid spread Kawagebo, sunshine bathed the earth, the god of Yin Kui Su A snow-capped mountains, like the extraterrestrial-like appear in front of everyone . Devout Tibetans worship service immediately to the ground, broke down in tears, accompanied by officials can not help but surprise Ruokuang, eyes filled with tears. When the master of a public end of the ceremony, on the bus back, Kawagebo quickly back into the clouds ... .... (It is said Diqing television stations this video)
Circulating in the local on the Kawagebo and its many legends surrounding Zhu Feng, Meili Snow Mountain, although referred to as "Prince 13 peak", but the semantics are mainly taking "13" is the number of Tibetan auspicious years are not accurate 13 Block Xuefeng, but referred to a number of peaks. Myanmar beautiful lines in which Chu el peak (meaning the sea goddess) is located south of Kawagebo peak, the legend is Kawagebo Peak's wife. With the King Gesar Kawagebo year expedition evil Luo country, evil Luo States want to fool them, pretending to be betrothed to the Burma Chu el Kawagebo Unexpectedly, Burma Chu dom pairs of handsome tall, Zhong-yong expansive Kawagebo love at first sight , Kawagebo also beautiful and kind-hearted Burma Chu Beam endless love, the two vowed to never part. So if people can love each other talk Kawagebo see the hearts of affection, it will be Kawagebo and Myanmar shared Chu el blessings so that you love like them Forever and Ever ... .... If you have gone, mind will be more open, probably cloudy, scattered clouds, rain and snow may be sunrise, your sweetheart will be able to tie the knot with you forever ... ... then the fight could go go quickly! Go quickly! This year (2003) is the mountain's birthday year ah! )
Kawagebo peaks, the glaciers, Pelton stretching, in which "Ming Yong exactly" and "Helms," A two glaciers, such as Yin Lin Yu-long queue, from the altitude of 5,500 meters down to extend 27O0 meters of forest areas, away from the Lancang River surface of the river is only 800 meters, is the world's rare low-latitude and high altitude glaciers in modern oceanic monsoon. We look at the end of this road on the Mingyongcun, so you can just watch the way Mingyong. Ming-Yong is one of only a few dozen families in a small village, the simplicity of Tibetans to the tourists are very enthusiastic, but climbers are sincere hostility.
With regard to climbing Kawagebo peak, said as early as 1902, the British had begun to taste the defeat; later the United States, Japan, the Sino-Japanese joint of a number of other climbers are climbing also ended in failure. Predecessors failed again and again before and instead provoked some people think the first one to board the aspirations of Kawagebo peak; result that shocked the world in January 1991 by a 17-member Sino-Japanese joint expedition in the Cague Bo's wiped out, nor are they sufficient knowledge, resulting in mid-1996, 12 climbers once again been defeated Japanese joint. This is a Japanese side to take part climbing Kawagebo 4th failed! At the time of China's media has even expressed regret, and to encourage them to continue their efforts! !
Tibetan Bong Kawagebo for Kamiyama, Kamiyama the inviolability of their view, climbing is a desecration of the gods; for multiple co-organized by the Sino-Japanese Meili Snow Mountain climbing is extremely offensive. In December 1990, on the preparations for a joint expedition to climb, the foot of the mountain roads of the surrounding villages and towns have been kneeling over the Tibetan masses and prayers in unison against the tarnished Kamiyama. In December 1996 another attempt to reach the summit climbers, Yunnan-Tibet region have dozens of Buddha chanting day and night for Kamiyama. Meili Snow Mountain to climb the Tibetan compatriots for the organization's dissatisfaction and even resentment is clear and strong. The activities of so many failures for the climb in the climbing disaster on many occasions during the climate phenomenon, the gods of the people they think are the warning!
Said a member of the CPPCC National Committee specifically for this letter to the State Council in charge of a comrade, a strong appeal to the State Council instructed the relevant departments to immediately stop any new Meili Snow Mountain climbing activities or plans; proposal is no longer with Japan or any other foreign signing the climb Mery snow-capped mountains and the other Tibetans regarded as a "holy mountains" of the peaks of the agreement; China's own future is no longer the climbers tried to climb these peaks; external unequivocally declared: Tibetan compatriots out of respect for religious feelings and customs, the Chinese government will the corresponding peak area as a cut-off board. In the future, no foreign climbers are not allowed to ban Deng Zone in mountaineering activities. Fortunately, the local comrades pleased to tell us, "the relevant departments have made a corresponding decision, and now all the Meili Snow Mountain climbing activities are prohibited out!" Since then, Kawagebo in government and the people common security, to continue to a quiet and peaceful years, to continue to Fook Yum snow-covered plateau, and this piece of a total of man and God, man and nature coexist in harmony Shangri-La.
From the glacier we live under the Holiday Inn to the Mingyong Prince Edward Temple, usually walk about 2 hours (green cattle were half as can be); for the control of time, we are unified riding a mule to their work. Dense jungle along the way, and ancient trees, colorful berries and covered with branches; valley glaciers are melting, and snow melt to form a stream meandering down the mountain along with other spring-fed creek, Zhixie Lancang River. In Prince Edward Temple, we have mountain's tablet presented a silk scarf.
Mingyong its Qili of Fengzi attracted a large number of visitors, since 1999, the number of tourists from the past annual average of 10000 people, surged in 2001 to 11 million in 2002, less than half had more than 50,000 visitors. In order to reduce the damage caused by visitors to the glacier, while enabling visitors to better view glacier scenery, the local government built two glacier viewing at large in the east coast, a more than 500 meters, a more than 700 meters, has been extended to the depths of glaciers .
According to local comrade, meri glaciers flow affected mainly by the Indian Ocean belonging to oceanic glaciers, there are fast changes in the characteristics of movement. Low-lying parts of glaciers due to the relatively high temperatures and rapidly melting, due to lack of solid support, height is often vast expanses of ice to fall down the formation of an avalanche. Really sorry, our luck is really good, we are about to reach the viewing berm at the top of the time, they heard the words "thunder," a loud crash, I've realized that this may be an avalanche occurred! "Avalanche! Avalanche!" Everyone ran up Bianhan edge; I washed up the side of recklessly as he raised his camera on by pressing the shutter, and then looking from another another another shot 2. At this time, avalanches have been allayed, and everyone is still excited. Since it was starting to rush, I was panting, whether focal length, aperture or speed were too busy to think, plus I have lived for decades had never photographed an avalanche, so it is not very good a few photo is taken, only to see one like it.
We are in the glacier before the visitors to take photos, Liulianwangfan; team leader on several occasions urged the three fan down, everyone was reluctant to leave to journey home. Yet just at this time, do not know when the clouds gathered, has again enveloped Kawagebo of. Although by this moment we have unpredictable weather in the region meri can be considered to know a little bit, but the road back to Zhongdian, but also that we've experienced a thrilling alpine mad Biao.
