I first knew "Kawagebo" This name, due to mustache hair chimpanzees net purchase a novel - "utterly." By Zhang Haidi said in the foreword, "Meili Snow Mountain is not far from Mount Everest high peak Kawagebo (Kawagarbo) elevation 6740m - still far less than the peak of a human virgin peaks. As long as people reach peak, Ka Wage Bo will always be a mysterious longing, a mysterious presence. - people might still remember the tragedy of Sino-Japanese joint expedition of 17 climbers Warriors No one survived -. "Although up to now I still could not get the time to This read it on the 20, but the Meili Snow Mountain - Kawagebo, but from deeply etched in my mind, until this day, we finally stood there, watching the fog slowly dissipated from his body , watched him gradually heroic Wei-ching, is tall and straight, there would seem to truly feel has been called the sacred feeling of the people the true meaning of - their tolerance of human right there is a natural sincere gratitude and admiration.
First, disturbed Sheung
Meili Snow Mountain to the morning, I felt a splitting headache and a colleague, chest tightness, shortness of breath, it seems a little bit of fever, like a cold, which makes me almost immediately thought of pulmonary edema. After breakfast is still not improve, we have considered abandoned. Diqing comrades carefully asked about the symptoms of our analysis say it is not cold, or altitude sickness, as Zhongdian 3300m above sea level, there were already a lot of people who come here have different levels of response, some people are very serious then. "No harm!"
He said, "at most, a few cans of oxygen to bring back, you have to overcome obstacles to overcome heart Caixing. Do not forget, Prince Edward snow-capped mountains - it Kawagebo waiting for you!" So saying, he Xiaohe He to me Push got on; I was so with a vision of Kawagebo, nervously follow you to the 184km outside of Deqin gallops away.
Out of Zhongdian (now officially renamed Shangri-la of the) county, and we go north along State Highway 214 only a few km, passing the name broadcast thousands of miles of "Napa lake." Napa lake (Tibetan called "Napa wrong", Chinese meaning "forest behind the lake") is the seasonal plateau lakes in Yunnan Province is also a rare sub-alpine swamps and swamp fever meadow. Autumn of each year, rain-frequency drop, the lake increases, the end of autumn to the next summer, the lake drop, leaving Tong Xing Luo. To 10 months, autumn gradually, the flocks of black-necked crane, bar-headed geese, crane, and Huang Ya, duck can be Ruqierzhi, in the lakeside marshes looking for food, play. Through the window you can see the frozen lake and the brown of the wilderness, if not in winter, where it did not know how the United States. (Not able to stop photographed Winter Scape, very unfortunately)
214 National Highway in the mountains in the winding stretch has been fog in the distance - a tortuous mountain road jeep circled, we flew around the cabin to shake, I suddenly found that: the first is less pain, and chest are not so stuffy -- -. I feel to tell you, the driver Chef Wang said, "It seems that Shangri-La landscape of altitude sickness can also rule it! Hehe -" Saying this, we all laughed. Indeed, I felt really much better, to 3800m at a rest stop when there is nothing that is not a. Here, you can clearly see the 214 State Road, coiled into the valley from the hillside, the new shop in the formation of a clean sheen black and reddish residue road car ran very smooth in the above. We should know that Diqing is located in remote, cold hypoxia, the local geological conditions are complex, along the highway falling rock, landslides frequent, while the rainy season the size of the debris flow is more to the highway construction, maintenance caused great problems. In such a bad road, under natural conditions can have such a strong team, we can not fail to awe the road builders.
On the bus walk, passing through a quiet little village. Tibetan village in the quiet hillside village in the valley before the hustle and bustle of the rushing stream, river, build a small mill logs, a wooden mill connected with the single-plank bridge across the valley. We get off here, feel the calm and peaceful atmosphere, a little girl waving Tibetan thin branches to catch her calf slowly along the gravel from the mountains down to the site has added a tranquil picture Qingli color ... ...
2, Origin Sands
There are a few km away from the Jinsha River Road, and we were surprised to see two-toting large bags, cameras hanging around his neck on the girl. Kind of like green activities in Beijing, where Daoshi no big deal, you can Diqing the mountains the road, on the somewhat strange feeling. Among us, there is a years in Taiwan Province, in the United Kingdom logistics school, Mr. Doctor, he and I bet a colleague that it has to be tourists, and the latter said it might be the exploration team. Then they stop, I thought that annoying: so dawdle, Shashi Hou to get to Deqin, but also to when can we see Kawagebo呀? !
The two did not, etc. Although the travel-worn but still shiny, the girls came near to our United Kingdom Dr. opening of his face brilliantly, "Hello!" Devils actually words! "Is the tourists do? Come呀? Where going? On the two of you people? Not afraid? Walk do so? Night live now? Family worried about it? ... ...?" A series of I do not know is true is thus the concern surrounded up. That two of MM is not ambiguous, "We are in Guangzhou who啦~. In Tibet and spent 3 months啦~. 10 days ago from Lhasa down啦~. The way a lift and saw the beauty of the entry and exit; had no car on foot啦~. basically live in towns and villages at night, looking village that is啦~ ... ... "啦~啦~啦~, It seems that two is the role of question and answer 10 in the Jinsha River can be heard" birds "(which is recognition, Cantonese do not shoot me), can be considered a bar scene. InBev and the people of our stay in business cards is also a write address, the last surprise, by the way a lightly: "Could he also take the ride of our cars ~?" That's two wide-mei dare, such as InBev's voice did not fall, but also We express our varied opinions Lakaijumen big pack will be thrown into the luggage hold. I am grasping space we asked them to come into the Yunnan-to-know to across the four river, namely: Jinsha, Lancang and Nu and Dulong; Ganben today is to build new towns in rural sub-board to withdraw the lively celebrations.
Car to the Jinsha River Edge, we were stopped, and was originally Diqing Deqin county government leaders and the local Tibetan people in the Jinsha River to the unique national style with crisp white hada and the Task Force welcomed the arrival of the highland barley wine. Diqing governments at all levels attach great importance to the transportation infrastructure, the local people of all nationalities are also very clear that the development of transportation to their production and life has brought great benefits. In this wild and remote, cold lack of oxygen, is extremely complicated geological conditions of the mountains, the transportation infrastructure is painstakingly thing.
That both Hirose would also like to get off, saying that a walk along the stroll. Our InBev looks full of vigor, and Tantubusu without losing the wit of the MM is necessary to leave a little sad was palpable. Until the car out for a long time, this old chap is still there in the first monastery is surrounded by distorted nostalgia to look around. I think all right meet again, and this guy has some personal feelings on a "fate" word five kinds of state (Ryoen - good fortune - Qiao edge - bad pratyaya - Nie Yuan) making particular mention of them ... .... And my colleagues also interesting to see if he looks Nafu driven to distraction last point of his sentence: "geo-best five Guangzhou" and this let him down honest.
3, White Mang Snow Mountain
Cars move on to the white Mang Snow Mountain Yakou (Ya Kou). Bai Mang Snow Mountain, peaks stretching, posture, majestic, magnificent, was in May 1988 by the State Council of the National Nature Reserve, where peaks stretching, Lin luxuriant, as well as the Jinsha River and its tributaries from zhubba r. Snow Yakou outflow, flow distribution in the snowy woodlands among the Tibetan villages. Chef Wang said, according to the driver, here is a relatively well-preserved original boreal forest is also the highest in Yunnan Province, the largest nature reserve. Checked the information returned from search White Mang Snow Mountain protected areas with the highest elevation at the Zara bird bee Nigeria up to 5640 meters, with the lowest office xiaruo township up to 3380 meters height difference to form a three-dimensional sense of strong climatic characteristics and vegetation types .
Team leader in front of the car so that we all get off, saying that is to let people feel the highest point on the Yunnan-Tibet Road, the taste, where the altitude of 4292m, is also the Diqing road across the highest point reached. He asked us to move a little slower, do not be quick; Eventually, everyone in the film and television programs, as common in slow motion the same.
"How, Lao Qiu? How does it feel?"
"Oh, you can also."
Really, breathing a bit difficult? Does not seem to; chest a little bit boring? Does not seem to; head a little bit sore? Seem to be no; -.
哈哈! Altitude sickness啦not see an end to啦! 4292m places, more than 3300m of Zhongdian is also feeling comfortable, do not understand.
Look around, white Mang Snow Mountain peaks stretching, posture, majestic, magnificent. According to team leader said, in the generation of interest-bearing at the snow-capped mountains at the foot of the Tibetan heart, white Mang Snow Mountain is a sacred symbol; they Jingzhi for Kamiyama, as long as this through, did not dare to pay homage to the; a number of devout pilgrims, and even sleep do not lay down the mountain for several days.
From here, you can also saw Meili Snow Mountain, but at that time where they are wrapped in a cloud. "Catch the train啦! In front of the Welcome Desk and then rest; there is the best place to see Prince Snow Mountain. Kawagebo can see, you have by virtue of your luck啦!" Team leader said as he reminder everyone on the train.
4, Meili Snow Mountain
Prince Snow Mountain, Kawagebo, Meili Snow Mountain, What is the relationship? We are from Beijing to Kunming to Zhongdian, come here often hear people talking about these three names, in the end how the case? Consult local comrades and returned through the search for information, my understanding is as follows (authority or authorities had not yet been certified, not to carelessly cited at the same time want to know the comrades pointing):
Meili Snow Mountain: It is now widely popular "Meili Snow Mountain," the term originally referred to the local Kawagebo to the north of another Kamiyama, Meri is the "medicine Mountain" mean. The 20th century, 50 years of geological survey team to Kawagebo mistakenly marked as "Lennart Meri" Since 1987, the activities of several Chinese and foreign climbers to make the name more widely disseminated in the media, there seem to be wrong if an example of it. Now, many hundreds of years this Bingfeng connected, snow mountains, the mountains Stretching collectively known as Meili Snow Mountain.
Prince Snow Mountain: In the group in the Meili Snow Mountain, elevation 6,000 meters above there are 13 peaks, the local Tibetans called the "Prince 13 peak." 13 peaks in the Prince Edward, Myanmar Chu Beam peak (Sea Goddess Peak) lines, beautiful, Graceful, like the slim and graceful woman, the legend is Kawagebo's wife. Lola competition go Kampot (cop God peak) is like a timid shy child, hiding in Burma Chu dom behind. Matsukichi I learn a baby Lin An, Hougue winter Bau eight Mongolia, Paba gesture is also strange hybrid Ding, long-standing reputation. Prince's 13 peaks have long been believers in Tibetan Buddhism enshrined as gods, the "groove pine Cague language" (as the book) in the mountains under the wide range of repertoire. Even Kagyupa second founder Karma Mahidol also leave writing "Cashmere Chan Kagebo Mountain Spirit Song," spread the people. Yamashita also take theingon Temple, the top gun Ma Temple, the pilgrims worship the land, is still active to strong, turning those endless stream.
Kawagebo: sky, way across the sky, proudly stand upright on the 13 peaks above the peaks is Kawagebo Peak, elevation 6740 meters, is the first peak in Yunnan is also famous at home and abroad Qifeng.
Cars passing on down the hill, viewing platform closer, Prince Snow Mountain is also getting closer. By! Open the door, get off, I walked quickly went to the edge of Lookout. Our luck seems to good, and stacking in the mountains above the clouds slowly disperse, like fairy fingers gently rubbing sleepy eyes after the lunch break Kamiyama, snow peaks one by one lifted a noble head, smiled to prepare to accept the people's pilgrimage ... ....
