2002-10-12 Tulip Messenger tourists in mind in Zhongdian Club
Bid farewell to each other along the way to take care of each other and encouraged the two girls, Xiao-Yu Guangzhou and Xiaoxia, a person returned to the Travelers Inn bar. Chiang Kai-li is also busy busy boss, another boss is bent bean to greet me, "saying good-bye they now?" "Yes, a little bit lost." "How so? Still got us Well." Bend beans handed beer. Yes, there is such a quiet environment, the sun, The Blue Danube and other elegant music, a clean table. Point of a cigarette, is the experience of feeling this more than 10 days of travel in mind down.
I remember a lot of people ask me what is the pursuit of a lifetime, I have to answer is to seek insights on life. They say that I like a little old man. I smiled noncommittal, I understand people can, and do not need to. It is with this pursuit, I am constantly trying new process. This time as the wood where the water Luo village to Chong Gusi plateau hiking. Many people travel on foot as self-torture can be professional travelers and lovers do not think so, people want to return to nature, it should go back to the original way, not to the complex state of mind brought in the city.
The walk from September 30 to October 9, after which it is to go my own way. Line is the Chengdu (train), Xichang (Motor Vehicles) Wood Lane (Motor Vehicles) 915 Forest (this can be omitted, and automobiles) of water Lodi Township, began to walk great mountains and canyons, mountains three peaks around Gonggar until Chonggu Si, at an average more than 3700 meters altitude crossing, turn the top 5300 meters of the dumb is a good test of the will. Along the way horses and baggage were to walk, think of the plight of all unexpected, but every long journey, as the same as the accident continued. Finally, we have 12 companions to eat Tan Chong Gusi insights summarized the sentence: It is a journey through the life and death and romance, will be our life, be proud enough to unforgettable memories. Generally only lightly bitter, like 8,9 days without bathing, camped, with altitude sickness braved the cold to go 7-9 hours per day the mountain at night encamped at the lowest temperatures below zero, did not sleep too good sense. (Kitten has trouble came looking for food, fed beer, it will not, and then walk) is the face of difficulties suffered the biggest accident in a dilemma and confused.
915 forest from the village on the way to the water, Luo, since there is no bus, only to find a local two tons of coal and timber trucks on the road, 9 Wanshou lying (squeeze) in the absence of the roof of the car Houxiang the way Britain finishes the road is still like our rejection to rejection, as the goods go, we should visceral backs are Dianfan, the real "Britain dirty line" ah. Wind would have us believe clothing, such as dumplings also generally crowded with each other for heating, how to spend 5 hours long! ? It was loud singing, everyone with the familiar and yet majestic songs are shouted out to Qu-han aspirations, making life enjoyable is the greatest romance. Constantly encountered on the way the rocks, Duan Mu highway boys get off to move. 22:00 In the mountain in the last paragraph before the driver was afraid to go, the road was really dangerous, narrow and barely a car through the road surface was the day before the rain washed the collapse of part of the tilt of 15 degrees (maximum at 25 degrees or so), next to the dangerous slopes and deep 70-degree cliff. How to do? 12 human there are differences of 12 per person per load 40 to 50 kilograms Zouye Lu basically impossible, because I do not know how far the road, leaving the camp bar, over and over rugged mountains, under the slopes cold and there is no water, per person has exhausted . Shouted the lead Aguang filled the roads so that cars in the past! Everyone wore a piece of stone Quban headlights, 10 meters of the pit must fill out how difficult, high altitude gas-consuming power, we obstinately resisted, the biggest one stone five boys all available on more than 20 meters far away from the rolled Tai Hang . Each circle should be Xieqi pushing for a while. Has been more than 12-point night, in a cheering, cars rushing hard, the car stuck in the last one meter down the! The car has been tilted 25 degrees between the narrow cliff and slopes! Drivers still continue to step on the gas, gravel flying, the left is still tilted to any death of! Ordered a halt down the big boys, girls fear and trembling. Driver frustration down, we have no choice only place to find the farthest away from the slope (5 m), the local camp. A boy fell to the ground had been too tired to lie down, leaving people with a little bit of power from the rest of the tent, divided a little bit of fresh water and food and sleep under the Do not pray for rain. For several nights of rain has made it very slippery slope, though the most uphill a little bit of vegetation, may be insufficient to withstand a big rain storm.
14:00, reaching not see five fingers, I feel the distance in tents appeared ominous flash, then thunder rumbled, got up and watched the sky open the tent-curtain flash, feel sublime to worry about. 15 minutes later, flash and thunder to reach my head and eyes, followed by raindrops as big as beans straight on the head down, an hour of unabated, I started grasping power, the brain, continuous re-vague shapes seen in the collapse of television and film Shortage of housing overshadowed fragments, life for the first time was life-threatening fear and helplessness. In fact, we fall down There is no escape, heavy rain in the no choice. In the face of nature, individuals will always tiny helpless. The first thought is that I am most caring people, although we can not work together, I hope she lives a happy, even though I may not be a time when this world. (This damn bar music, I cried), my parents thought that as I am concerned that so many days, leaving little money with the insurance that they would not deal with, and to pray for my safety bar meditation , I have been quietly recited. (I hope they never see this travels at a later time will not let me go out), Even so, only a few boulders washed downhill, tilt the car will fall off a cliff, the journey has just begun on the end. Middle of the night 3:15, the rain has finally weakened, 3:45 rain stopped, I finally feel at ease asleep, looking forward to another good weather.
Lodi Township Water has also hired a caravan out of a little friction, A lods summer cattle farm on the road caravan lost five horses (and later found two), delay the day of our time, but also is a friction, but this once, I help to reconcile, the two sides have enhanced a little but feelings also begin to care for one another along the way, was I abusive terms against two, Shuaiguo hat groom had become my friends. Also in this section of the road a dangerous, nurses, little girl I from a horse through the pack after the goods pass through, then after the horse protruding Back shoe kick, a pull-behind Eguang immediately, they were jointly kicked off a cliff Ma, meal screaming . Fortunately, under the cliff that is a tree to catch the two forcibly, near misses. They are reeling up. Groom, and we hastened to pick up and comfort. Fortunately.
Like to talk about is full of sorrow, with the danger, in fact, the face of these is the greatest romance of Kuzhongzuole. Including goods vehicles singing. From Chengdu to Xichang can buy hard-seat train of the night, the night unable to sleep with the migrant workers, ethnic minorities as partners and have encountered a group of secondary school students of tertiary institutions, they are continually presented to us in Xichang, customs and habits, in which girls and two or three Lingyalichi We talk about life, work, mood, very interesting. Turning to a man in Guangdong was too practical not nothing gallant. And I will have to rehabilitate a man in Guangdong, said that a man in Guangdong hand, reliable, and that they cause to work hard, not too much a woman reported that the illusion of it as an investment. This is contrary, a sense of responsibility and prudence, may lack the taste, can be as long as both feel good, fit, Guangdong men who are willing to pay for love. For example, when women say one thing a man to the north, the North men would readily agree, in fact, he probably did not mind the end, not necessarily to be dry, Guangdong more than men will think about it, it will be able to agree. Oh, I felt like when traveling in the Northeast for a few foreigners, like the Northeast rehabilitated. Anyway, quite in the way to talk about the joy they did not take place we would take turns helping each other.
Prior to departure, there is water Luo Yang groom home cook; Corn Lane scrub body; through the mountain temples to the old monk five money coming shake the elderly in the peach tree, pops dropped a lot of small peaches, gourmet meal ; to "steal" a quick mature barley, the sweet to the mouth of the stars actually delivered; villages along the way been able to buy 3 per bottle of beer, snow, peer A Chun was also pleasantly surprised to find a buy like The Pepsi-Cola; from A to the habitat of Lodi, I am a pumpkin carrying young hard up the hill away from the foot of 4 hours, the results of the pumpkin, together with the other girls, A Yin pack into a small pumpkin and delicious meal that night of the vitamin supply, also specifically reported that pumpkin photographed. Chonggu Si's meal to the dinner break, 12 companions of lyrical heart, grateful to all, even the restaurant owner is also secretly listening, feeling our bursts of laughter and Xixi poles apart. Inagi finally Paoshang comfortable spa to wash them altogether nine days of travel fatigue, bone has a crisp.
Zhongdian is the first rest place, this time around are mostly dispersed peers, leaving only a small Yu Xiaoxia. After 13 hours of travel fatigue Road, 11 pm finally arrived, already tired, pat off the dust, the whole as just unearthed cultural relics. Trolley send us to a quiet street in Zhongdian travelers club, the door could not find a host of people, and then further to go inside the bar, head out of a group of foreigners, including one with the skilled Mandarin told us: "Guangdong people? Haha, welcome, Cantonese, Hong Kong, Taiwanese people are the same Well, the Chinese people, here is the best bar Zhongdian. " Good Smart Gringo, I need not argue with them the concept of the Chinese people. Finally out of the eyes is wearing thin and people, skillfully, speaking in Mandarin for a bit slovenly us about accommodation. 25 yuan per person live in double rooms, 20 yuan per person is a multi-human; here, everything, is not the best, but to ensure clean and comfortable, the bathroom 24 hours hot water supply (a bit like a sauna), hoping to wash to you a fatigue, feel that there is a family suite of small rooms, could be three people with the washing; a washing machine, laundry attendants to help, according to kilograms calculation, cheap, down from Inagi people like here to replace a full-clothes do not keep small pets (lice, etc.); eat on a simple thing, and time is late, huh travelers are the hotels, do not figure to enjoy, so the only comfort ... ... we are all nodding vigorously, quickly taking a bath.

Came here 60% are foreigners, the rest of Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai-based, all backpacks, or self-drive tourists, many more than an acquaintance introduced. Small yudong cast a glance Seibo find food, Chiang Kai said that the cooks work faster, and then willingly pointed hearth pot of leftovers, and said that it would eat, but good things, curved bean concoction himself to the everyone go well with rice for. A look at a fat pork mussel stew (Cantonese name for, a kind of dried seafood, like oysters dry), small try, stating that you wish export, import or fat-based, with mussel wooden fish with a number of other ingredients The fragrant, absolutely high quality goods, immediately share the call of Xiaoxia, three meal clean sweep, Tsan mouth without a break. Xiaoxia is a fat a meal, eat a full 10, jokes that he is camels and food, regardless of all the eating, as there is no next ton like.

The next day has a very comfortable and had such a good feel for a long time slept, and woke up around in search of food. Bend Bean took us to the nearby play with great interest, we are out of the oil money. A result, he broke off from a Beijing Jeep, a split window became a tourist car, all the way around the stone has fallen sway Quwang Kazan, Iraq grasslands, Napa lake. Landscape in general, but I feel good, the way he used to introduce the local Tibetans. Along the way small-Yu Xiaoxia the luminous eyes, see the chicken grasp, see the pig kill, see the cattle should be cut corbels, the final bend to meet their beans (including me) requirements, took us to a Tibetan family Catching chickens. Young man gave us the room to the acidic water-side, as the city's yogurt, but a little sour without sugar, and said the Tibetan buttered tea with the two kinds of daily drinks. Old boy was also school paintings, inviting him to visit our gallery, filled with pictures of Tibetan Buddhism and the Thangka. Finally sent a chicken that as long as 8 yuan. We have bent under the bean's instructions to leave 50 Thank you to leave, but also to the field the girls are busy playing barley waving, it was found that he brought to the bag is of paper. Associate stores refuse to buy paper towels is to provide plastic bags, or have to pay a money to buy environmentally friendly paper bags, although the feeling of Zhongdian, commercial, and may also pay attention to guiding the implementation of the concept of environmental protection, and tough. Before come to mind when we walk all the way to take the lead Aguang cold patiently put plastic bags, ready-bags collected and taken away, feeling as a traveler should also shoulder the responsibility to protect the environment, leaving only footprints, do not leave bad kinds of . Admire.
Good night, everyone said, and two bosses please drink highland barley wine, to prepare a broth of chicken, plus a few side dishes, we AA system, delicious meal. Clink been the first time I drank 3 2 white wine, whole body heating, despite the vomit remains mischievously.
