October 4 Hetaoyuan - talc board - baishuitai - Bita - Zhongdian (now known as Shangri-La County) the county seat since the late morning, with leftover chicken soup last night made a noodle as breakfast. After that, we follow the newly constructed asphalt road down the tiger jumped the talc board foot. In fact, Tiger Leaping Gorge should arrange for at least two days time to do hiking, the scenery here, and then went to famous scenic spots as compared to those more suited to the tastes of young people, quiet, but without losing tour of fun, and do not believe you can try. Gone an hour, Yang master's car head-on with our talc board met the day he was driven back and forth a total of nearly 700 km of the road, he may be tired. Baishuitai no means a matter of fact, 30 / person, ridiculously expensive, a little disappointed. Bita almost reached the evening, from the toll to Bita Lake attractions there quite a long way, that is, the 20-minute car ride from the roadside scenery has fascinated us. A time when autumn, blue sky and white clouds, coupled with road on both sides of the plateau colorful plants and in the valleys like a abstract painting of farmland Kurai, such scenes in every city people seem to be as good as in the paradise on earth. Unfortunately, in order to rush to see the more famous Bita Lake, we have abandoned this may be the most beautiful and this trip is worth pictures of opportunities. Bita great scenic spots, from the parking lot along the wooden plank road through the jungle to a half an hour, we are worried that neither the King of the dark to see, so all the way Rush, but walking into the forest, when the central Haizi the sun father Xie has been closed off and refuse to give alms ray of sunshine to us, scenery, of course has been damaged. Regret not help this time together, not as good as the way in the coming few shoot it. In fact, there is time, then you can climb up the hillside, from the heights overlooking the Bita Lake is still beautiful. Back we have chosen to ride (official price of 25 / person), Yunnan pony is to adapt to high altitude mountain climbing rugged mountains, though unpleasant but very stable. In front of the horse may be eating too many beans, so I eat a lot of adjourned Mapi. Fortunately, horses are vegetarian animals, emissions of gases are relatively moderate, not go so far down I smoked from horseback. Evening back to the county seat was admitted to a Naxi Ren Jian Tong, the hotel opened, 160 / 4 human, there is no running water, toilets are the test of lung capacity, will forget about. Live well, eat to be so cool. A hot pot of yak meat completely conquered us, me, fish, Yang Master also hit Pakistan in half a catty Dali Nanzhao wine, eating lament: corruption nice.
October 5 is all Lake - Songzanlinsi - Shambhala Estate - Lijiang, help me yesterday night Haoshui Nanzhao alcohol, moderate alcohol seemed to recover from fatigue helpful (love of wine is another family of origin mouth). To get up early, pushing windows, enjoy glow of elapsed time, sky blue, and quickly pulled the Three Little Pigs blanket, may take advantage of time to enjoy the beauty of God a good mood. Are all Lake (30 / person) Yourenruzhi, but the scenery but has not discounted. It also luckily God to help, in the mountains and blue skies are all under the lake as big as it is much larger than the Bita Lake, the lake dotted with a few patches floating island plants and become excellent prospects when framing. Unfortunately, I lack sophisticated weapons and equipment can only symbolically by a few. Lake a number of professional color donkeys lined up in front of the phantom lakes and mountains in a while Meilen America bombardment, I obtained the consent of one of his appreciation of shooting, from the NIKON + filter + hood up Indeed, they do not feel the effect of general, hey, save money for equipment, bar. If you have time, can spend three hours on foot to the lake across the hillside, where the scenery is said to more beautiful, maybe you can shoot the other is all beautiful. All from the Bita Lake is close, in the way into the lake can be seen encamped in a valley mouth of the caravan, Yang ride from there to the chef said Bitahai, fascinating scenery along the way, riding about one hour trip about. If you are interested to try the case, preferably a little more, there can be a bargain, and secondly, there is also anaphoric. Car back to Zhongdian lunch, channels Songzanlinsi (on the edge of town), 10 miles on the road outside the temple will be able to clearly see the slopes of the Western Hills engraved in italics and the Tibetan "Songzanlinsi," Higashiyama slope inscribed "Shangri-La" on this momentum, which will not disgrace the good name of small Potala Palace. Three Little Pigs of Tibetan Buddhism seems to have little interest, I just stand outside the domestic and photographed in a temple, saving 10 / Zhang's tickets. In fact, this 10 yuan to 30 yuan to more than baishuitai value more and this is indeed regrettable that two of the trip. At noon found the Zhongdian travelers stumbled quite accidentally into clubs, each of a large order fried rice, the taste can be, that is, the attitude a little bit Beijing flavor. The door a "forges" dogs as big as a small calf, lying lazily dozing in the sun, call soon as look at the lift eyelids do not know what is looks like when you display its power. The accommodation here seems good, prices cheap, 30 / person, the young self-help tourists in the majority. Large door can also be a message on the blackboard together information, a little taste of the International Youth Hostel is very suited to backpacker accommodation. Around Zhongdian, after 20KM is too small, there is a red stand stone street, Lijiang Jane Eyre A BAR aspirations of the world outside the manor we recommend - Shambhala Estate is up. Stone referred to further drive from the lane after 5 minutes, eyes suddenly see the light, we saw several head of black yaks in a mountain flowers of the meadow dotted with GE on a leisurely eating lunch, while the hosts who looked to the manor falls sit here. This can be serious, they contracted the surrounding 1000 acres of forest, is mainly responsible for environmental protection, fire prevention work, you go, then say that they are looking for to know the on-line poetry Pui Chu, the day of his wife's father and wife's sister enthusiasm entertain us. Tibetans at home live on the second floor, on the ground floor to support livestock. Zhayi entered the room, suddenly a dark, only the middle of the room due to light a fire and the pot a little village lighting. However, being smoked in a few open two windows into the black, the abundant sunshine suddenly illuminated the whole room. And through windows to see out, can you guess what I saw? When the blue sky, white clouds, colorful hillsides, green meadow, red Ge mountain flowers, black yaks are just right to put on a plane where 80CM ╳ 100CM picture of what will be? This oil painting exercises could there God? It appears that Shambhala estate is a veritable Shangri-La. Sitting on specially hand-woven wool blankets covered, we not only enjoyed authentic butter tea, tsampa, oil and bread, but also interesting drank a few mouthfuls of highland barley wine, Yang master correct to say that Tibetans are more hospitality, stranger people are treated as an honored guest, but for tourists, out of courtesy the best rebate some tobacco, tea, or leave tea money, if you do not want to, they will not be neglect you. Farewell Shambhala, went straight to Lijiang, two days before the reservation Wan Su Wang kulou youth inn, on the hillside, you can picture overview Dayan, 240 / 4 earth.
October 6 Old Town of Lijiang time off, this can be a good stroll in the town. Dayan Town has been years of history, area of 4 square kilometers, to the main Naxi. Here is simply self-tour paradise, not only in geographical location is also unique, just located in Dali, Lugu Lake, Zhongdian the center of a triangle, and the scenery, culture, arts and crafts, food clean sweep, it is suitable as a tourist destination relay station continued on our way, after the physical and psychological adjustment . As long as you follow the five-colored slab of roadway on the go will not be a dead end. Buy a hand-drawn map, find what you want, you can help you avoid costly mistakes less. Square Street is more than one intersection where the main roadway is actually about an acre of open space, but also the largest local businesses. Divergence from here out of every street, almost all along the street side rooms are shops, silver, jade, clothing, wood characterization, heat transfer, delicious snacks, you have the money to lure an uneasy subdivision jump up in the pocket up. However, the face of such commercial arts and crafts, or try to control the desire to buy better, after all, the significance of collection is not large. After a wood in front of the government, we unexpectedly encountered a group of like 30 years of Biaoju Sagittarius. I used to think like an actor, but has not found found a ring crew, and each is dressed in yak-skin vest, toting guns, should be the right caravan. The next morning we met them again in the Square Street, it seems is ready to go look, which also confirms our idea. Wonderful night time is spent in the camel bar outside a little bit cold, not as good as Dali in the bar drinking beer, listening to my favorite beatles, 4 the NPC to play boast, Shahu Hu, and the idea is enjoying to play.
October 7 Lijiang - Kunming - Shanghai 8:20 in order to catch an early plane (3Q4416 flights, 420 / person), we Tianbuliangjiu up. Young master a special trip to get us to the airport to the airport road, we parked on the roadside opposite the first glimpse of the beauty of Jade Dragon dawn meal Meng Hong, kick down the camera remaining bullets. It appears that the Yulong Snow Mountain for its Shenzi really would like to see people still do not have the heart to make it disappointing ah. An old friend in Kunming hosted the gas cooker chicken, then we propose to the flower market stroll. The flower market is located in Kunming, fairs, business is booming. We picked a pot of blooming Susan Blue, and even pots Daini 40 yuan, I estimate that 20 certainly has earned. In Kunming, do not understand buy flowers for千万不要买precious orchids, one easy to chop the second is not to feed. Have something good about the choice of dried flowers, at the airport where a lot of return journey passengers have brought a carton of dried flowers in Kunming, it seems a very good sales. 19:35 to catch the flight FM454 Flight Fan Hu, Hongqiao Airport dozen people who came in an estimated 100 meters long, a whole of 45 minutes before they turned out, the home is the night 11 points. Hey, tomorrow we have to return before the seriousness of the desk. . .
