Our car from the foot of the mountain pass through the snow-capped mountains, tall snow-capped mountains to the left of the window, constantly arrayed a wide variety of gestures, which are very tantalizing bell, and we looked around it is almost a complete one circle. Roadside are barren plateau, everywhere are the small gray stone, a typical glacial landscape. Car turned over after the numerous hills, a small basin in front of, then it is with the. Out of the car, walked into a restaurant for lunch, which is a typical rural residential areas, the kitchen is on the edge of the boss is a face of vicissitudes of about 50 old woman, dressed in a blue khaki's tunic, wearing a Top green cap is entirely a dress during the Cultural Revolution. My mind could not help but feel that, in such places there would be no good to eat, and decided we should copy the most popular rice and vegetable egg soup. However, they did not want to A Short History of the menu opened when a few can not help but be surprised, because that menu of Western-style Chinese dishes are what their places, as well as foreign flavor of the pizza hamburger.

Chuaner is not rushing through the next tiger jump, where you can sail is said to still benefit from a few years ago that Lijiang earthquake. On the shore, the famous talc plates in the head, we need to climb into the mountains on the road.

I feel more and more there is no way to continue to adhere to, and who's climbing package can not be held down I feel almost normal breathing of. After the boat trip a few foreigners have strode over to me, and really lost the Chinese people face ah, but I want to make the physical situation is the Chinese people can not do anything ah fight face, I know that the face is really not normal , because I just feel so tired, my head began to severe pain, chest felt very much of the nausea, such as stepping on the foot of cotton in general, the leg joints are also some strange feelings. Small Yan couple to see my question, let me insist on the small Yan contracted her back, and I also had to lose a face, and let a girl for me backpack. Fortunately, finally reached the road, take off my luggage, on the ground, walking slowly, feeling is also slowly Huanguo Lai had. Three in the afternoon and more time to finally come to TINA'S, decided to live it in today. Settled after living in, sit down and break a break, Chang took us to the teacher's brother-in tiger jump, down the road is really very dangerous, Teacher Chang repair of this road could not have been simple and crude, and she has told me to college when go to climb the cliff when Sanqingshan almost lost, but fortunately there was such an experience previously considered, and also does not feel too difficult to go, because it is the next mountain, slowly the body can cope with. See the tiger jumped stone, and quickly went to the riverside. Chang teacher's brother-hop with rock we climbed up and down Tiger, photo sessions. Life for the first time so close to look at the Pentium roaring rivers, mind can not help but there is a shock.

Go back to the road for me becomes very difficult, constantly are uphill, but fortunately there is no luggage, two legs tired, I can prop up the body, slowly walk in the end, try not to think too much tired, I can only walk with this rhythm to beware of more serious health problems, illness experience of Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot may make me a lifetime!
Back to the road edge, we first went to the home of Teacher Chang, Zhang's wife, a teacher for the hospitality to us, long after Zhang and teachers back, comes along to talk with us, but when this is fascinated of the Tiger Leaping Gorge. However, we found that Chang guy got more enthusiastic teacher's house, that is, to which the teacher's house black Chang Tibetan mastiff, continually rubbing the edge of each one of us to walk slowly to go, but also affectionate starting a small tongue and lick the face of history, let me read can not help but feel scared. When the sun goes back to TINA'S dinner, TINA'S restaurant where friends from around the country and around the world gather together to greet one another chat, the atmosphere was very harmonious, reminds me of a child in Shanghai, alleys, neighbors get together to enjoy the cool scene , both good and humane ah!

To the cave where roads were two-story stone building that houses the largest completely blocked, and we looked scary on the mountain head, for fear we had when they down a stone, carefully climbed from the huge heap of stones, we have has finally reached the safety of the tiger jumped. There are many tour groups on the tiger jumped tourists, but the momentum compared to the tiger jumped a lot worse. Went to bridge, in the fork in the road waiting to go to Zhongdian car, it is one we aspire to - Shangri-La.
Cars on the road continued climbing, as these two days is really tired, I fell asleep in the car lifeless manner, and so on have been frozen awake when the car is able to drive on the plateau, small Zhongdian's roads in repair, Auto difficult driving slowly in the mud, under a light rain outside the window snow is also sandwiched obvious that I am one of the chills. Has finally come to Zhongdian, the car discovered outside temperature of approximately less than zero. Quickly pulled from the pack in winter clothes to wear, A Short History did not take thick clothes, I had my sports pants and jacket gave her a few days in Zhongdian, every day she had to wear men's clothes look strange .
Zhongdian along the main road to find our accommodation, good luck, and soon found a very clean hotel, is a standard, the on to the next price of only 80 yuan each. Then people began to feel a little bit wrong, and chest boring, clearly felt that the heart under pressure, heads hurt, I know that altitude sickness came, nor do I these days of poor physical condition, the reaction is even greater, and quickly in the bed and lay for a while. Two hours later, I went out for dinner together with A Short History of Xiao Yang, we have actually encountered the vehicle in Dali to Lijiang 4 Hong Kong compatriots.

Cruise in a temple for more than an hour, A Short History also allows monks pray for her. Leave Songzanlinsi time is more than eleven, and the car out of Zhongdian county town, we came to an all lakes, are all not a big lake is a plateau lake, the lake half forest, half of the pasture and pasture horse manure on the cow dung all over the floor, accidentally stepped on a mine. Small island near the lake there are tablets, covered with grass, but 51 when the grass has not grown, and only sparse grass stems left last year, there is no what the scenery before stopping for five minutes, we on the left to Bita Lake.
Dealers for over an hour, and finally to the plateau known as the Pearl of the Bita Lake, the next the car, far saw Haba snow-capped mountains. Bita first go through a virgin forest, the forest around the tall spruce and other trees, the branches still hung with green floc, do not know What's your name, such as to the forest covered with a thin green yarn, upright stalwart of the tall trees, thus becoming a little elegant, very interesting natural phenomenon. The wooden plank road along the forest all the way down the walk after 15 minutes out of the forest, facing a one large meadow, a lot of cattle, goats and horses on the grass grazing leisurely walk, a Tibetan brother actually loudly sang folk songs in the street, but the singing is in Xinjiang folk songs, vocal Daoshi not bad, but unfortunately a bit strange, It turned out he was shouting his trade, this business has not done very rich cultural heritage ah! Walked, went to the Bita Lake, the lake has a high island was covered with green plants, everywhere and verdant, the visitors enjoyed most of the lake a few simple food, but it made me the number of lake a bit disappointed because it was really no more scenery can be seen, Xiao Yang and small boats to the lake sitting in the history of transit of the circle to come back, we went back. Go back to the road is uphill, where there is三千四五百meters above sea level, climb to also Zhengou tired, but fortunately my body seemed to have recovered more than two days before slowly feeling better.

9th day: April 30 rain
Zhongdian - Bi-so Gorge - Zhongdian
Up early, find another rain, another person angry drivers yesterday to fare too low, today Shuaixia If we do not, and had no choice but to find a car to go to Shangri-La Grand Canyon. Made a little history of high fever, today can not play with us, and seems to Lijiang 97 dinner that the restaurant has finally affected the health of A Short History. I have always wondered, why do I eat beef, wild Sansho the diarrhea, Xiao Yang did not eat this dish because it did not affect the very nature, but also eat small history, though not for me to eat, but she also did not respond a bit, and now finally know , the original is another disorder appear.
We four sat in the car driving along the rugged mountain road, the road to Lugu Lake, the road traffic better than a good, good news today, there is no dust under the rain, feel feel better. Motors for three hours only to Pitt for Canyon, at the door of the restaurant to eat lunch, we entered the canyon. Canyon is very deep, canyon Amidst the Rain, after a rain baptism, the plants are clean, showing a very immature green, very good-looking. The ground is covered with a golden plateau characteristic of moss, to the canyon stretch of adding to a bit of bright green. We walked and looked uncertain a cloud, when suddenly find Blue Moon Valley, the sky is really over the moon corner to a very Peugeot. Maybe that "Lost Horizon" and described the reason why Blue Moon Canyon is named bar, Blue Moon Valley clouds gather again continuously spread, the whole valley feels like paradise. Perhaps the canyon is not how beautiful, but rain clouds give the valley an infinite beauty.
We walked all forget that he has gone through several bridges, the roadside carrying sharp knives in the hands of a two-year-old Tibetan small group of about greeting us to his home to drink butter tea, but also tells us that we can see in front of snow-capped mountains. We followed him a long way to go forward and found the shelter because of clouds, snow-capped mountains is not lifted the veil. Guy can not say that a complete Mandarin, we asked how far his family, he could not answer. Boy a look of sincere, but he was in the hands of the sharp knives indeed scary to think of this canyon in addition to our four almost no visitors, and so we decided it not to go.
At Bristol to Valley to play for three hours, we began to return to Zhongdian, he drove out soon into a small mountain of the mountains, we can not help but greet the driver to stop, because the small mountain scenery is really beautiful. There are many small snow-capped mountains towering mountain peaks, each one has its own unique mountain style, you can give it your imagination, and some like the cock, and some like dogs, some like beetles, and some like spindle , Chuchudongren. More beautiful is the rain of the clouds, floating across the valley, sometimes like waves filled, covering mountains, time and quick drifting away from, such as the veil of mystery lifted. Throughout the small mountain valley, such as Penglai fairyland, the endless changing the variety of scenery, since people can not help but miss the beauty of Huangshan Mountain!
Stopped a long time, we had to get up to return to return to Zhongdian is already nightfall today, finally let us see the beautiful Shangri-La! However, more beautiful because of misty rain, and perhaps we have seen the real Shangri-La is not the place, and I dream of Shangri-La will not be so simple and ordinary. That the real Shangri-La is in the wrong? I had intended to move on the Inagi Aden? Yes people say that not less than Deqin to the Meili Snow Mountain, Shangri-La? Perhaps the Shangri-La is such a dream, let the world will never go to fantasy, to recover!
