(Vii) the Jinsha River: meandering memories
In northwest Yunnan 10 days, meet up to the landscape can be regarded as the Jinsha River. From the Lugu Lake, the Yangtze River First Bay, to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, I am loyal to it more than once, but each time have given me different feelings.
****** Lugu Lake, crossing the Jinsha River ******
In the way to Lugu Lake, has several three-gu, passing the Jinsha River, but from the moment of its recent, or through the trees at the end of the bridge, across the time of the Jinsha River. Is far worse to think that way, and a dozen cars were blocking the bridge, the mouth, could not move. The original bridge had been long years old, would have difficulty to withstand the weight of the size of various types of cars loaded with only the implementation of sub-off approach to people and vehicles, and one can only be one.
Seeing a vehicle showing that it gingerly crawl over, heart is really worried. May be there is no way, several People's Liberation Army uncle there staring at it, who would foul ah. Had settled down, and get off to see the roadside market. Said to be fair, in fact, the tree at the end of the village there are people looking to do business, have come here to sell things. Fruits, fungi son, vegetables, corn, everything. To buy a corn munching up soon to see the crowd began to walk on the bridge, and finally our turn passed.
Of this section of the tree at the end of the bridge is the middle and lower reaches of the Jinsha River, the bridge slightly wider apart from a few rows of wood, left a lot of cracks on both sides, only a thin iron fence. Therefore, bowed our heads in the middle of sorting wood go, Do not kick Ta Kong, they should not Fu fence. A half to see the foot of the surging river, stream have become increasingly turbulent, and can not help but ran to the bridge taking pictures, but it was the PLA's uncle Duanhe: "Hurry go, do not stop!" Had to hastily pressed the shutter speed up the pace through the of trees at the end of the bridge.
****** First Bay, the gentle turning ******
Starting from Lijiang via Lashihai, about 65 km to reach the Yangtze River Bank First Beach. Here, you can clearly see that torrents from north to south from the Jinsha River, suddenly turning a V-shaped big bend Zhetou to go to the northeast flow. Although this bending angle of large and urgent, but the wide flat river surface is water, placid, although it has also rainy, but it seems not as good as the tree water potential at the end of the lower reaches of the bridge section of the river that is more turbulent.
Surface of the river as a mirror, if not the water under the mountain, clouds were wrapped around halfway up the mountain, but it seems to be southern scenery. First Beach in the Yangtze River, Jinsha River also have a warm side.
Shek Kwu town to see an iron chain bridge, is said to have gone through the year when the Red Army. The exercises had been a very different place, leaving only the clank iron chain as before. I tried to imagine the "cloud Cliff Sands Shuipai warm, large Bridge horizontal cold iron chain," the scene, hoping to quiet standing in front of tiesuoqiao found in what is nothing but in the end.
****** Tiger Leaping Gorge, roll up Splash ******
Shek Kwu flow from the sharp reversal of the Jinsha River is about 40 kilometers north, in between the Yulong and Haba Snow Mountain, chuanshan cut rock, red open a narrow road, on the Pichu of the world's deepest, narrowest and most dangerous of the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Tiger Leaping Gorge, a few days ago to ask about road conditions, the information received, without exception, will be: the tiger jumped off the road, and make life difficult for the car on foot are also at risk. Have no choice but to give up. Went to the tiger jump on a tour of this bar.
Along the long, spiral-down stone steps, I approached it bit by bit. Beginning to see the river only a slight ups and downs, and sometimes appear a few rapids, and soon became relieve; When we arrived at the stone steps of a bend, the water was suddenly big sound up, the roar of rapids in the valley reverberate really no river, smell Ocean Waves.
To bypass the bend, his eyes startled immediately: agitation whipped Enami layer higher than the floor-base stacked numerous duo yellow spray, not to the front of the top of the wave has been turned into a white vapor, ascension and on Pumian hit. Turbid waves of monstrous, scared Stokes shore, near the river bank when there is a strong airflow passing, I do not know canyon to the wind, or the rapids rally.
Refused to take a wet camera, and I took a few pictures at the riverside. At this moment, cold, fatigue and hunger are behind, and could feel a mist Vacant between heaven and earth, are in the embrace of nature, I was so drop in the ocean.
Stone steps to go back is another way, but its also long been up, tired, on a word, how have come to the stage head. Fortunately, I often turn around, turned his head to see the river farther. In a flat open space, 2 Yi girl stood there waiting and pedestrians photographs look back, the river has subsided a roaring thunder, left the hearts full of tenderness.
The Jinsha River, is a meandering memory, winds to flow through the tree at the end of the bridge, the first Bay, Haba Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge, has been head wound to the heart.
