To go to Shangri-La, and my heart is full of fascinating.
The earliest knowledge of her comes from that book in this popular around the world - "Lost Horizon." The book describes as a place - located in the mysterious valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains, there is the pyramid-like snow-capped mountains, "blue" lakes, wide meadows, as well as lamasery, nunnery, Taoist temple, mosques and Catholic, harmonious coexistence between man and nature, multi-religious coexistence, multi-ethnic coexistence, where the magnificent temples, temple gardens and elegant, poetry Ji rich, melodious music sooner or later, mountains, plenty of "gold mine", it is only "moderately" mining ... ... That is not a landscape, but also a kind of mood.
Sat in Kunming - Zhongdian, long-distance sleeper cars, after a night of bumps, the next morning, we finally reached our destination - Shangri-La. Shangri-La Tibetan, meaning "heart of the sun and the moon," SHANGRI-LA English transliteration of Chinese, English pronunciation is derived from the hinterland of the Tibetan dialect of Shangri-La. I play acting by li like "Shangri-La" name. Shangri-La is a very lively place, a lot of tourists, when the National Day coincides with the peak, hotels, overcrowded. FIT results we can only live in a hostel near the center, 15 yuan / person. Settle down after a brief rest, to contact a friend of the driver - Gou uncle, determined to Deqin a good trip tomorrow, and he now is baishuitai. At that time had been at noon, we heard that we are prepared to go to Bita Lake, he recommended to us to another plateau lakes Shuo Du lake, its scenery no less in the Bita Lake, if time permits, to Bita Lake. It seems today, let us look at your fill bar to high altitude lakes.
We are near the center of the FIT package of a van, the driver surnamed Tao. Shuo is the sea, also known as an all-Gang Lake, located northeast of Zhongdian, 35 kilometers from the county seat, in more than 10 kilometers northwest of Bita Lake Office, 3750 meters above sea level, water area of 15 square meters. Shuo Du Lake Zhongdian County, one of the largest highland lake, which presented their autumn the most beautiful in front of us. Blue sky; blue water; the water with a long clumps of Wei Cao, Qinghuang each other, truly beautiful; the surrounding hills Qinghuang and white. Everything is so natural, peaceful, quiet, just like Xianjing. The lake is a small room, baked fish out from the lake of fresh fish, exudes a kind of primitive seductive fragrance. We used to ask, they were told: "What to buy finished, you came belatedly. It seems that we were only big sigh of pity. In our eyes, Shuo Du lake though not large, but everywhere the United States, let us first taste of the charm of the plateau lakes.
We follow the same route back, a bend began Bita Hainan line trip. "Bita" Tibetan means oak tree into a blanket place. When arriving Bita Lake, dusk gradually become boundless, the cold is also gradually imposing Qingqing up. At this time visitors have been scarce, and we count on the young Li Sheng, decided to walk down the mountain. A section of Plank Road log Dacheng has spread from the forest to the sea. Walking in the Plank Road on the squirrels jump from time to time next to food. Autumn woods sweet, gurgling of the springs flow from the shrub forest, soil and falling tree branches to climb up the moss, during the quiet How can people have the heart to break it. Perhaps riding, we can not feel such a view of the. A short distance of 2 kilometers, instead letting we've got about 1 hours, some frustrating, we reached the beach. Lake is said to have 150 hectares, usually only see a quarter of it. As the rainy season, the sea grass accumulated a lot of water. Around the lake, the ancient oak pine trees, crowded in upon, Bita Lake by Dai-colored mountains, overlooking the twilight under the Bita Lake, Hai Zi, as embedded in a piece of jasper mountain jungle. Luo's a rise in my heart lyrics: "high mountain lakes are lying on the surface of the earth's a tear." To describe such a re-fit, but the. As the long-distance non-stop bumps and fatigue, altitude sickness has come on us. I Xiaojun suffered from altitude reaction, dizziness, fatigue. Finally up from the coast and return to parking lot, the sky was dark, the driver Tao aunt worry that we for a long time, there is still our intention to find the next, one question, before we know there will be wolves at night haunt. Wolf ah, wanted to come to feel afraid. Night in the White Tower seems particularly striking, watching the poor condition of their own, each of us picked up a little stones, according to local customs, came alive again in a clockwise circle around the tower 3, on the wish tomorrow's trip to Meri Good Luck Bar!
The next day got up early, Gou uncle was already waiting for us. (To find a character and a reliable and superior driving skills of local drivers are the first to ensure travel security. This time we encounter Gou uncle is really good, people very good, very dedicated, honest and kind. Very familiar with the various sites had been in Tibet for 12 years when the transport soldiers, by opening those winding mountain roads so that we stare dumbfounded incredibly easy, but also to our big talk about driving experience. I really admire. Contact him I did not put on the need can be contact me) went so far as it began to XiXi days of rain, I could not help a bit worried. Town not far from the car out, we saw the Napa lake, Napa lake is located northwest of Zhongdian county, about 8 km from the county seat, is the plateau of seasonal lakes. As we are in the rainy season, the beach meadow accumulated a lot of water . See through the strands of rain drift Napahai, Haizi lying quietly, no one paid awake Yonglan look. Absolutely loved it here in the morning!
Slowly the rain stopped, the sun came out, surrounded by mountains clouds disperse, one of only a few households, when a small village hidden in the mountainside, at times, people have Huangruogeshi feeling. Car in the mountains walking, circling from the top to the foot, from the foot of hovering in place to Peak, people experience what is "hill outside the mountains," What is the "car in the mountains Bank of China." Turn along the mountain, walk along the water, and in many mountain and hillside on the Da, often have a clear Tao deserted mountain road, which mostly come from people or horses step. We exclaimed: "Man how to switch from Qianfeng 10000 to find out the one-pass manner in so far way, how can people pass by 2 left feet so dangerous path. But this, was the opera called" Britain dirty "highway let us also afflicted. the person sitting in the back seat, after some frustrating, the one summed up the experience: When walking on uneven pavement the car when a man leave his seat squatting together, hands clinging to the backs of the chairs in front of will be allowed from the top of the head and the roof of the "intimate contact." tough place, often the magnificent place. beautiful, colorful ... ... to use these terms to describe their autumn along the re-fitting. mountains, canyons, streams, woods; red, yellow, green, golden yellow, beautiful panoramic view.
When the white snow-capped mountains Mang close and what we meet, we could not help but get excited. (Please forgive first saw the snow-capped mountains of the South children, now.) From our point of view the past, through the two mountain valleys, snow-capped mountains quietly into their autumn standing in a large, thin snow line extends to the distant hills. So beautiful, so I hope that as soon as possible to see the grace of the Meili Snow Mountain.
5 pm, we went to a town not far from the viewing platform Deqin, Meili Snow Mountain, the panorama presented to our eyes. Meili Snow Mountain is the heart of the Tibetan holy mountains, Meili Snow Mountain 13 peaks are lined up, people really understand the nature of the great, awe arises spontaneously. Meili Snow Mountain 13 peaks, the highest peak Kagebo Peak, elevation 6740 meters, is the first peak in Yunnan so far still no conquests. Kagebo peak 800 years ago was regarded as a holy mountains, and is the only Tibetan eight men Kamiyama Kamiyama. Its splendor is not only because it is sharp, such as Janus in Yamagata, but it will never set foot guest, people are not even easily pilgrimage dignity. That sage and mystical sense Kamiyama, then again and again so-called "conquest" of the unreasonable failure, like the myth of the general circulating. Each fall and winter season, a local Tibetan Kagebo peak around the turn through the day, a small mountain road, with "Rain God waterfall collapse", turning the people to believe, who can be "Rain God waterfall collapse" Drenched in rain and fog , who will be able to seize it. Next year is the Year of the Ram, is the Benming Meili Snow Mountain, the time from Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, believers will come pilgrimage Meili Snow Mountain. Winding mountain road, when the believers to support Fu Zhang Qian, an endless stream. In the thick clouds, we can not get a glimpse of her picture. Afternoon, the sun bright and warm, snow-capped mountains and white clouds reflecting dazzling light. We are here to rest for a while and saw several members of the dress of the Droma. We are excited to run passed them to chat up. 1 inquiries, the original tomorrow is Deqin County Xian Zi Festival (Xian Zi that is, erhu also), is a Shangri-La tourism festival activities. They are to meet tomorrow's guests. Sing and dance for us the Drolma presented highland barley wine, sang a toast song, their enthusiasm and generous so that we both surprised and flattered. And they are together there are several handsome Tashi. Are no longer strangers to each other after our strong request, and Tashi Dolma also danced a dance, heavy-handed and we pulled into the ranks.
Windy, and the sky gradually dim down, unfortunately, we did not see the way Merrill's highest peak - Kagebo peak. The sky more and more black car driving slowly in the dark. Around a silent, black and twilight twilight of the mountains, only a few lonely lights Ling Ding. How can one imagine the city, who could endure such a lonely then? 10 pm, we finally reach the hotel where he stayed - Qin Hui Zang jia YUAN. Settle down, out of the hotel, is surrounded by darkness, the rise of the stars you can see the sky, like broken bits of diamonds scattered in shady, it should shine even brighter than the diamonds! It was the most beautiful I have ever seen the stars!
The next day, we have assembled an early start to climb. The forest, Colts sound of the bells, "rattled," all the way to accompany us. Along the way, we met a group of devout Tibetan women, their ages ranging mostly from about 50 years old, I heard that the oldest has been 72 years old. Almost every morning they would go up the mountains to worship. Although we have some of the language barrier, but we planning to join hands with chatting up, let me know more of their customs and habits. Mani Dui is also everywhere. There are a lot of gravel on the road the same as in the building-block, they told me it was erected for the relatives to leave the underworld house.
After more than two hours of the trek, earn Mingyong finally revealed. I was shocked, his mind a blank, which is Mingyong? Once in a dream in their hearts many times the imagination, really standing on it in front, I just want to cry. Mingyong as a solidification of the river, from the raging down the valley. Time here has been fixed grid of. Thousands of years, dust trying to quietly bury it, so it's above the number of black sediment deposition. In which one of cracks, exposing its true colors - Yingying the blue-green. Ice cold water surging downstream shedding, water deafening. Ice at the height of the backlog of hypospadias shuttle one by one giant ice avalanches down, ears, spreading waves of the sound of an avalanche! Perhaps it is our piety, clouds spread out, flashing white fluorescent of the snow-capped mountains, exposing the pyramid-shaped peak card, that is Kagebo Peak! I can not find words to describe the excitement of the hearts. To sit down and quietly listen to running water and the occasional burst of Bingbeng sound, and Kamiyama zero distance dialogue, I feel completely the release of the soul.
Ming Yong from the back the next morning, we take the bus to the Songzanlinsi 3. Songzanlinsi is known as "Little Potala Palace." Legend has it that the Fifth Dalai Lama personally selected by divination Q Gua Temple, the building in accordance with the style of the Potala Palace. Standing in front of the temple, large and small temples scattered high and low, in the middle is a trellis by the countless stone path leading into the ladder-style hall, which people can not help feeling that this road is a path to heaven. This may be the power of religion is the bar. Along the ladder, one can see the different shades of brown wearing the clothes of the monks. As previously seen in Tibetan monasteries, like a lot of painting, sculpture, folklore (including the Princess Wen Cheng Tibet, King Gesar and his soldiers, all kinds of statues, as well as between heaven and earth separate ways the gods, etc.) can be found here, shadow. Fu Zuo hall for 1,600 people, chanting. Curl of incense smoke in Tibet, the painted exquisite Buddhist Thangka story dramatically butter lamps in the Great hall of the dark rays of the sun as if to tell us about the countless long-standing legend. In the temple at the top of a small room, I Songzanlinsi fortunate audience with a big Buddha. I pay homage to him as I hung the red can be a safe and bless Diamond rope. After leaving Living Buddha Hall, we have almost reached the top of the monastery. Standing here, Zhongdian Bazi in my eyes at a glance the distance is a subtle construction Town (the capital of Shangri-La County is located), right near the famous Napa lake is a grasslands, lakes in the distance the sun flicker. The photograph of a beautiful picture in my heart to leave it a permanent presence. "Shangri-La" in the local Tibetan is "the hearts of sun and the moon" means, in my mind the beauty of the sun and the moon do not also mind? !
Back to the past, I often feel as if the past few days, like in a dream, when I use a real pen to record it, the total can not be so clear to keep a dream, but I still want to write it down. Because I am full of heart and the turning flow of thoughts. Shangri-La does not do is your own mind? Remember, "Lost Horizon," a poem:
"As long as you like, I do not mind but it is worth is certain is that if there is a Shangri-La, then in that direction but a few miles away from civilization, away, if we are getting closer, not more distant we feel very happy . "
