(Viii) Zhongdian: I do not Shangri-La
More and more people aware of Shangri-La, but in fact, Zhongdian, or Zhongdian, its scenery, and have not changed their names up and become beautiful.
Race around the way sitting in the car, the eyes to see out the window, really different from other Northwest Yunnan: From time to time to see rows of barley frame and sporadic yak; large tracts of meadow and wildflowers, healthy and Zhang Yang to grow with; that lit up the sky, clouds seams, and even saw the sun Ji Si; only this, it is enough to soak the 10 days of rainy weather, I rejoice in.
****** ****** Napahai
This is a seasonal mountain lakes, and in 7-8 months of summer, can see only a pasture, there may be little bit of Shuiguang. This is another name for it, depending on the origin of La Prairie.
Such a view of such a common place, the gall to come up with a lot of new tricks: the man-made Tibetan White Tower, Mani Dui, the idea is to never have been to Tibet opened the eyes of tourists; 12 for visitors riding The Yak stood there all alone I do not know how long I did not see the companion; and Napian major Haizi, or grasslands, has long been that the fence Quan Zhu, visitors stop by. Visitors bought tickets to see Napahai 30 yuan, but not near to. Unless the money and then go riding; two tasks not yet assigned to a horse in the fence outside the standby, but lost no time in close to each other intimate together.
Have been shut out, I had to stand outside the fence overlooking a moment, then a little bit of grassland on the big lake also Ji Shibu riding went far bar, the lake water, probably not as good as a small dam more than nur.
For a time all of a sudden ferocious winds, heavy rain want to come. This ticket is being wasted Xu Tao, a Tibetan-style tent in front of a greeting for everyone to see MM Tibetan singing and dancing performances, they went Cougerenao, passing rain.
Did not think that this tent was packed, dressed in national costumes of the MM side of dance while singing, saying that the singing, are authentic Chinese; they compiled numerous pigtail hair floating up, revealing a short Fashao which was originally taken as real; Qunjiao flying time, inadvertently showed off the foot of the high-heeled shoes ... ... Fortunately, there is cricket brother joined their ranks, the young face blooming with uninhibited smile, so that all sides to take the air of the tent, went so far as also has the warmth of the sun.
Still later, is a traditional wedding games. I only remember that several men rushed tourists, on the spot to pay fifty yuan, on transformed into the groom, you can just dance from the MM, the random selection of his favorite bride, and then a series of ceremonies, the whole process up to five minutes, would you , they both entered the bridal chamber. Then is the next round of song and dance performances, get married, and then singing and dancing performances, and then get married ... ...
Fled the tent before the final that saw a Tibetan cricket brother, he is on the stove cigarette. At that moment, fire vague shapes of his face, a true and flat.
****** ****** Bita Lake
In the past, often distinguish between Bita and Napa lake's name, went to the Bita Lake, I think I never had wrongly tagged.
From the get off the local to the Bita Lake, to go through a period of Plank Road, a section of long, quiet journey. The sky, or, as always rainy. The foot is a length cut-off, rounded, and some slippery logs. Before the age of towering old trees crowded in upon hard to explain, Qing Baise tree beard hanging like a tree, wrapped in the straight tree, I do not know how many years of silence. This is the first of a boundless forest blocking the mountain breeze, leaving only rustle of the rain, and standing on logs on the pound, of footsteps.
Sometimes there are streams flowing through. I do not know where came from a distance, in the Plank Road side trees next to the stop and settle down. So, in this quiet forest, there has been buzzing sound of running water, not far from the forest, occasional Muleng Fang and the flock there, but then the flash, and then go back and gone is the old trees block the line of sight, or illusion?
Line of sight of the towering trees gradually less, Inclined rain forest, but also become a Jifengzhouyu Sutherland. Plank Road in front of more and more open side, with loud voice. Several tied at the side of the road was Linde yak in the cold rain soaked, slumped heads bowed; while their owners are also kind enough to ask the tourists for each one: "riding yaks camera it?" Have dressed in hiding in the robes of the women's shelter from the rain shed where I do not know whether it is also complain This rain disruption of their business.
Finally came to waterside, distant mountains covered with a stretch of lush, meadow in front of a sparkling light green. Although there have been cold wind swept, then a quiet wave of the lake is still flat as a mirror. Lake highlights a round wooded islands, as the green pagoda towers, and finally understand the meaning of the name Bita Lake.
A quiet walk in the water's edge, azaleas Buddleja may miss to see such Laoxionglaoyu more like a legend; adverse weather conditions, the immediate Bita Lake is a bleak stretch of quiet, and tickets on the day of beauty differ materially from Korea; waterside berth cruise ships are once again reminded me that it is already over-exploitation of the scenic spots of the.
And Bita Lake itself is compared to that period of Plank Road on the journey even more memorable.
****** ****** Shadows and Advice
In northwest Yunnan Zhongdian suffered the biggest trip of a rainstorm, all from the Bita Lake is a lake on the way to go. Leased vehicle broke down a few three-gu, Naxi drivers Yang Li pairs actually proposed to abolish the Lake plans are scheduled to be less than noon on the back of Lijiang. This is already annoying enough, but we are still try to discuss with him, he wasted our time on several occasions even repair, and now less a place to go, then we chartered a day if the price should be cheaper? Then he began to hit the roof, brutal nature of apparent mouths foul language did not say, but also threatened us, saying to the case of both lakes can, but he brought us to our destination where the left, regardless of the matter sent back to Lijiang.
The face of the threat of his bad faith and verbal abuse, I almost explode lungs. We were only three girls available, days, under the heavy rain, muddy road not see one person. In any case, he can not fall out. So we did not mention the case of all lakes, not to mention fares, not theory, as one would like to speed back to Lijiang.
Which he achieved its purpose, the way deliberately drove too fast, we almost jolt into eight, and finally back to Zhongdian County, he also given a free hand to stop eating, throw us in the car. Along the way back bad mood, not to mention after the words.
Came back by the original price paid for, we have no say, no complaints. But I hope that the theories with their advice you:
1. First, do not pack Lijiang Naxi Yang Li-pairs of the leased vehicle drivers. Vehicle license plate: cloud PT0461, telephone number is 0888-5126396,13988845298. His family has also opened a hotel in Zhongdian. His wife, surnamed Hung, also run rental, long with a pointed face and lip that when listening to her words is the only pack her husband's car. Her phone :0888-6666437.
2. Go to Zhongdian, be sure to pack a good Driving Status jeep, where the road, leased vehicle easily broken.
3. Chartered must be prior agreement on the route and price, it is best able to sign a contract, hand-written on the line, the two sides signed the entry into force.
4. In advance inquire about its local telephone complaints from the tourism sector, there are problems solved in time.
5. Chartered the number of male to female ratio is best fit, to say the least, from the most basic security point of view, it should be. If the boys on board, the driver would be more scruples importune time.
Other:
Zhongdian restaurant poor environment, unscrupulous business practices more carefully Ai Zai. The best way is to find a fairly clean, people are more small restaurants, to be the most common food. For example noodle, noodles and the like, the likelihood of Chihuaiduzai and Ai Zai smaller.
Or simply buy some food to bring from Lijiang.
Zhongdian night, the streets would suddenly a lot more locals wandering the store in different colors. Tourists caught in them will be very conspicuous. For security reasons, no special to do something, it better not take to the streets at night.
