Inagi - Bi-so Gorge - Zhongdian
Back to the Aden communities know, Xiao Zhou, and others, along with three of them have wrapped the car today to Zhongdian. 4:00 a Caishui fast under 6:30 then got up, and is sorting luggage, when Miss Lee sent a message saying that they had set out. Hey, we have specially come back, the result was not continued counterparts. Rush bubble of eating instant noodles and I Xiao Yao, Lily took to the streets to look for three cars, Inagi to Zhongdian, the shuttle is opened the next day, and today just do not, we have only their own chartered by. However, Inagi is a small place, usually chartered get to talk about the night before, and we've heard of Blue Moon Resort has a driver to go to Zhongdian, today, immediately went to inquire about the driver is to find, but people have already filled. Snow Wolf's message board even though some sub-chartered the post, but the cell phone to play in the past, always get through. Our county intersection waiting for more than an hour faster, and still do not see there could pack the car. In the intersection there are several open micro bread drivers, but only one car and pass out of the province, see chartered think we have to ruthlessly slaughtered us, asking price is high, and we ignore them at first, but now does not appear to care is also Buxing Le, Haoyuedaishui finally talk about the price of 1,100 yuan, or high-ah, but it is better than a good day in this spend.
Is 9:30, and we set off, no town out Inagi long, mini-van's chassis is on the way to knock a bit rugged, vehicle can not be opened, the driver borrowed tools Daogu for a while, and finally you can hit the road again . From Inagi to the towns and more than 100 kilometers of the road are all in the repair, the car's speed is slow, fast 13 o'clock when we come to see groups of Tibetan-style houses on a hillside in the right side of a distance, very good-looking, that is, towns and the. Over the towns and the road is still dirt roads, but no roads, so we feel comfortable with its position. Ukrainian village after a hot start over the mountains, mountains are getting higher and higher, highway below, the abyss, we can not help but worry about our cars, this mini-van was not actually any good car, Moreover, when it comes to knock out a bit .
The driver told us that turn the front of Yakou is that Yunnan has. Snowy Mountains near the peak has also accumulated a lot of snow, the distance there is a pyramid-shaped snow-capped mountains stand in the mountains around us, we opened the car on the Snowy Mountains ridge line, hand-tight hides to live the car handles, eyes did not dare look at the car window of the cliff. Car started slowly downhill, I know that not far away from Bristol to canyon, this time last year I Cengjinglaiguo Pitt to gorge, but then coming from the direction of Zhongdian. Drivers do not know Pi to Canyon, so I had to open their eyes wide, for fear that the famous Shangri-La Gorge slipping away from us.
Quick five-point, we have come to Pitt for Canyon, because last year came, I decided to take a rest at the door. Bi-Valley has left me to the deepest impression is one of the section of Blue Moon Valley, looking at the sky, the mountain valleys on both sides of the sky will be blue crescent cut out of a standard, perhaps hence the name Blue Moon Canyon on the bar. Valley of the little stream, a long with yellow-green of moss, to the green valley adding to its color. The time last year, coincided with rain, mist-shrouded valleys, just like fairyland, today I am afraid not so beautiful, the weather is really great.
Xiao Yao and Lily them into the canyon, and I and the driver simply at the door of the restaurant for dinner. More than an hour after Xiao Yao and Lily come back, they are both not into the deep gorge last year, when I was deep canyon depths, but do not think how the United States. In fact, we later learned, that when the three of them are also Xiao Zhou canyon, they are in this play for four hours.
We continue to the road, out of the canyon is a small snow-capped mountains, small mountain scenery is beautiful, a lot of hills has a different shape, you can imagine, giving her a different story. Last year, I came here, clouds hovering in the hillside echoed throughout the small mountain valleys such as the Penglai fairyland, beautiful, people feel like to Huangshan, perhaps the future will be to develop this with a real landscape!
Under a small snow-capped mountains, the sky is already dark, and our car on the road in the dark to continue to Mercedes-Benz, 9:00 the whole time has finally come to Zhongdian, came HTC hotel where he stayed last year, with a total station or a young lady who first and last name The Naxi girl, she even remember last year I have lived.

He replied: "how do not want elementary school, I was the best performance in our class, and if the money we're OK, I want it to college!" Good and ambitious boy ah, what a shame!
Glacier to the ice surface can clearly hear the sound of the water flow under the ice, an ice cracks Road, suffused with green on the mouth of Han-guang, like a big knife to bare murderous, let us all afraid not approached more glance.
Mingyong ice than the Hailuogou clean some, looks dark gray of the sand and gravel less. At this time just did not like the weather has been gloomy, the rain is not the next, but all the mountain peaks, or have been blocked by clouds. We can only enjoy Mingyong and near the crystal clear and purified.
With a little regret, from the glacier and down went the door Mingyong is five more, the driver uncle is working with a thick waist circle bladder Northeast Big Brother chat, then big brother to see me down at me, said: "You are lucky okay ah, the weather was good, and a hail snow the next morning, has been ah.

Effort and who's boss: "This Meili Snow Mountain, but the hearts of the Tibetan God, God was able to board it can be easily? Original Beijing people do not know everything, they casually to approve a small Japanese mountain climbing, and can the Tibetans were not promised ah, so when the small Japanese climber, Tibetans have gone to the temple to burn incense and curse, and indeed small in Japan is only 100 meters from the peak, when all had disappeared, the body was found in 1998. " Older brother who told me with vivid descriptions.

We're going to fly to Temple a good look at our minds the god of snow-capped mountains, cars carrying the three of us from the Lancang River and the circling, just onto Yunnan-Tibet Highway, a shot to repeat to us the sun, the sky suddenly Yunkai fog lifted. Kagebo first of several peaks from the north side of the clouds exposed, and then the beautiful goddess posture has also exposed her grace, the driver let us off quickly photographed, he said that Merrill could be Burongyia, we stand side of the road, crackling shot for a while. Got in and around the clouds Kagebo rapidly released into the atmosphere, and soon distinguished Prince 13 peaks are all exposed Zunrong, we are also coming soon to the Temple, ranging from store owner greeted us stay, lay down their luggage on the climb on the pavilion, stood gazing across the Meili Snow Mountain. At this time, the afterglow of sunset shiny red sky of broken clouds, Prince Edward 13 there is no peak before the clouds obscured the peaks and ridges holy sitting in front to greet the thousands of subjects to worship reverently. In our front, a two-year-old French guy, sat there, eyes always watching Kagebo, half an hour did not see him moving about.

We breath written for, in addition to no more Staring at the other thoughts, the camera clicks to sound at this time has become exceptionally harsh.
