Memories "Clouds" (b) - Lijiang
D4 morning, seven o'clock, yesterday, an appointment with the car on time to the lake to meet us. Leaving, the lake has not yet awake, quiet mist shrouded lake. I really want to see it much slower to catch him to stay on a bit better in silence. 9:40 to Ninglang and immediately bought tickets to Lijiang 10:00 o'clock, eat breakfast. Drivers waited patiently. Along the way down the mountain hill, along the Jinsha River meandering progress, although the road is also thrilling, but after that period of Yanyuan, Sichuan Road, the scenery was really not what it is. 13:30 to Lijiang, 10 minutes walk, it entered the city, housing and city youth hostels, the environment well, usually 20-30 Yuan / day, but the Spring Festival rose to 50. There are many ancient inn, you can first take a look and decide. We lived in a city youth hostel, not the ancient city of the International Youth Hostel. Naxi is a very quiet little homes, two-story building, the yard is not, there are a few trees planted flowers, favorite brew a cup of tea in the courtyard, basking in the sun, watching the boss of a cats and dogs to support the game.
Then in the ancient city of Xia Guang, and could feel everything, everything good. Not content with bringing a few to eat. Sight Kurau following a Naxi courtyard to eat noodle when they met two pairs of young people, a pair from Guangzhou, a pair from Chengdu, is also a free combination. They said that they just went to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, enthusiastic leave phone and gave us a taxi driver call. Late, you can also go clubbing in the "Prague", there are a lot of Mix, they just walk back to Tiger Leaping Gorge, are eager to discuss. Always felt like a peasant uprising in general, as long as you make a flag, saying where to where, there will be a lot of people come to be.
Introduction of Lijiang has been Needless to say, almost nobody do not know, but the feeling here, and only wait for you to Lijiang, be able to understand to get. In Lijiang can have too many games are played, where you can not go, stay in the city sun, you can also walk on foot in the world's most famous Tiger Leaping Gorge, of course, is to go to the Yulong Snow Mountain.
D5 10 o'clock last night, telephone contact a taxi to pick seven o'clock on time, on the Yulong Snow Mountain. Because many people to queue up, or as early as possible.
The cable car up the mountain, there is closest to the equator on the Northern Hemisphere glaciers, snow-capped mountains of Vancouver than here even more spectacular is more mysterious.
Mountain snow kinda thick, cold. We are ready to more fully and at an altitude of 4506 walk around the ski area, but also slippery snow.
After the downhill, to yak-ping, baishuitai. Usually on the yak, we do not like most people, like riding, but to decide on their own to climb. Farther difficult, along the muddy path Caichu Colts, and soon the body is full of mud. Want to provision Creek Trail, they found thick wet snow, very unsafe, or cursory Road bar. Is the rise of the middle of several cable car, there are enthusiastic people asked: "Why do not you ride that?" "We want to embark on their own to go!" "Oh, you are free man ah!" Climb to non-painful, uncomfortable is the mountain reaction, straight people feel chest tightness, shortness of breath. LG's face is also very difficult to see, I was okay. Said plateau reaction, reaction of the body the sooner the better person. Eventually reach the yak flattened, joy let us forget these. In the yak-ping, from another angle, look at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, do not have style.
Down too easily, and all the way trot, on the roadside shop to eat a big bowl, one bowl of rice, but also to eat clean. And the driver, after consulting, combined with running Tiger Leaping Gorge, although they are also the use of Chinese New Year prices, but can also accept, reaching as far as the next tiger jumped.
I would like to say that our driver, was a more than 40-year-old Naxi woman. A real taxi driver was her eldest son, and the civil and military, but he was like most Naxi men in general, less willing to get up early, Pao Yuan Road, prefer to sleep in, play mahjong, but as his mother has married, buy a house to worry about, so most of the time, the new Jetta bought her in the open. Along the way, she describes to us a lot about the Naxi customs, such as "and" surname are mostly ordinary people, "Wood," very few descendants of the nobility. Wife referred to as "gossips" and so on, is a very enthusiastic person. Lijiang, once again become our party of two men want to go to Office, the women bear almost all of the work of the family, while men just at home, reading, flowers, tea, and even in the yard to sleep in the sun for granted.
More than an hour away, to the next tiger jumped, Chen-chu, the new crossing. Tiger Leaping Gorge is a unique gap in the world's largest canyon, magnificent precipitous between the Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain Pentium roar of the Jinsha River to wear cut by. The above can be seen standing just 96 years after a major earthquake crustal movement formed a "high Gorge out of Pinghu," calm water hidden too many rapids rapids, the river opposite is Zhongdian and Haba Snow Mountain.
As time is tight, too late to jump on foot tiger. However, we still have to down to the riverside. During a 2000 meters of the mountain, we Zouliaohenjiu, sun hot, and cold morning, the top of the mountain a great contrast. To the riverside, we can not wait to Pick up the river, ferry master Chen-chu, could not help reminding us pay attention to safety. Looking across the steep hill a few backpackers, really unwilling, or discuss with Chen-chu, and spent 80 dollars, ran it took us to see the Indian tiger is said to have a real tiger jumped stone, left, is also playing a bit Blanchir spring with.
Back to Lijiang is already 8:30 pm, the night under the city more attractive, people are tired, like a home in general, in the MAMAFU ate dinner.
D6 sleep a Lanjue up, marching streaky stone, in the ancient city alleys around in circles, 100 individual 100 Old Town of Lijiang, the world may be vast, the human eyes are endless, even if a Lijiang Dayan Old Town, to the Here, you can understand why so many people come to Lijiang, we will no longer leave, unfortunately I was already covered with dust, the souls, think they might be able to return to, and can only emerge as the fish in the water, a short way to find what had dreams.
Zaiqu Wang Kurau breakfast, brew a cup of tea at the window, listening to music, turned over the Dongba paper do MENU, panoramic view of the entire city. Hearts also wonder where these old streets, how could conceal so many people?
Shopping, bought two cloth house bell, the crisp sweet yin, yang of the high Common Sense, there are Naxi old mother was rushed to the chicken bean jelly beans, wearing Naxi's "Phi Star Belt Month" service, according to some of the photos. Lijiang to buy a brown paper hand-painted map of bridges along the water through it, here is a good water conservation, or direct reference, which also attracted many fans as an expert in the ancient city of water Design Science, drinking and drainage channels are different , a hundred years like a day, the ancient city of people's lives and treasure this piece of camel, natural gift of land, it's enough to respect, they claimed there was "Frontier Jiangnan", think of the pollution of Taihu Lake, I really let us ashamed, simply called "Race Jiangnan "Well.
Hand-painted map of "Old Town of Lijiang Ten Things" to look kulou hear birds, see Square Street of the four faces, into a yard a daze, etc., in short, to here, you want to stop time, and you can feel be.
