To see through the rain in Yunnan Province -4
8, the dream of Shangri-La (2002.9.19)
"I dream of Shangri-La, my lovely Shangri-La"
I have been very puzzled, Shangri-la in the end what is look like? ! Now I see, no matter whether it is here, "Lost Horizon," a book's descriptions of places, when you see vast areas of Montreal, leaves flowers plateau, relaxed yak and Wrangler; see the dark face on the local children innocent smile when I saw the eyes of the Shangri-La.
Tiger jumped from bridge walk took us half a day's time, the sky then it began to rain when the big, sometimes small, do not know if we do not really willing to leave. By car from the bridge to Zhongdian (Shangri-La) in the way, I am still thinking about walking back to the local time was simple and pure mountain, his mouth still pondering over them to give us the sweet pears and apples. Mountains, people are happy, there is no suspicion, no calculation; their life was simple and simple but happy life.
Zhongdian, renamed Shangri-La is now. In fact, I still prefer the name of Zhongdian, in which the same filled with reverie. Shangri-La County is a small county with Tibetan characteristics, as at the Tibetan autonomous continents. Everywhere tall racks of drying barley are harvested barley for the local residents, small and large streamer with the Mani Dui, as well as elegant.
For the Tibetan nation, I have a bit of worship. Because of its mysterious, because of its religion, because that I have not been to Abdallah; also because I love jewelry - turquoise. Shangri-La in the entry way, has to Deqin the signs, looking at the rainy sky, I saw the Natiao access to Mount Athos - Meili Snow Mountain incomparable melancholy way. I come from distant places, have reached here but still do not see sacred mountains, is the fate, or fate? I will come back, and I will see you my Meili Snow Mountain; I would to my dream destination, the other two: Dunhuang and Tibet, perhaps next year, today.
9, while on the lake (2002.9.20)
In the way to the Bita Lake, the sun has been playing hide and seek with us, and sometimes it is difficult to see that it will be exposed face. We sat in the car, looking back recede plateau scenery, enchanting vision kept trained on the plateau lakes. We first went to the driver on the road to another lake recommended attractions - are all lakes, high altitude lakes to think simply look at your fill today the bar!
Are all far to see Lake - this has taken, "Princess Wen Cheng" The place is not actually a little disappointed, how so small? Lake is said to have grilled fish taste delicious, but too expensive 25 yuan / jin, or not do this kind of behavior is better FB. Approaching the lake feeling pretty good, the lake is very quiet, quiet like the side of a mirror surrounded by mountains. Lake in the long grass very close, like a yellow-green yellow-green of the truly beautiful island. Is very clear lake water is very clear the surrounding landscape are reflected in the lake is a day of water, it is difficult to distinguish.
Same plateau lakes, Bita the impression that both lake and is quite different. Contrast Bita Lake and Shuo Du Lake, The Story of Qiu Chun-lan, I think the two wins the good at the two lakes are worth the time to appreciate.
Bita lake elevation reached 3539M, car parks, an estimated altitude of 3800M, began to have some altitude sickness, but also all right for a while to adapt to a.
Bita Lake is to go riding into the mountains, and interestingly, riding before the sun shine on the body, the locals let us rent raincoat, saying that, under the mountains under the rain, said. We smiled, are preparing to be launched, rain slap down, is a testament to the words of Montagnards. Is no way God would also seem sub-regions, but here is their site. Heaven help the Montagnards have a favor we only rented a raincoat, put on raincoat I cry out: let the rain and then the larger point of the next bar! Voice is not falling, the rain stopped, and everyone laughed.
The scenery along the way was like paradise. Canyons, creeks, jungle; green, red, and yellow colors of the gorgeous panoramic view. The sky had been clear up, and the sun began to sprinkle his body, bright eyes, a little stab. Blue of the sky from time to time will be flying with a goshawk, Although it looks small, but it is free, it is envy. Horses are not unhappy slow walk in the wood of the Plank Road, I have also a small girl, and Qian Ma Zhuo Mala Tibetan lives on, everything is so peaceful, unlike what is heaven like?
Horse walking for nearly an hour later finally arrives at the edge of Bita Lake, the lake is said to have 150 hectares, we usually only see it one quarter, due to the rainy season here, a lot of water, grass plot, Dolma told I could not continue, because they may encounter swamp. But it does not Taguo this piece of grass will not be able to see close Bita, so watch highland lakes turned into the grass expedition, in the oldest and Beijing has stepped into a small group to pay the cost of the grass in the water, we have also paved along the log Plank Road approached the lake.
Plank Road built in the virgin forest, the road on both sides are towering old trees, a tree full of moss and one called "Tree Beard" in host plant, the ground was full of pine needles fallen leaves, stepped up soft, comfortable, than walking in the wood on the Plank Road more comfortable, but said the rain here, very difficult to walk, Plank Road to play a role. Walking in the forest to feel very good, quiet deep, fresh air, gives a relaxed and happy. Verdant meadow on the yak, horse and distant dark blue Bita Lake and the blue sky, white clouds outlined a perfect landscape. Close look at Bita Lake, the water clear bottoming out. Blowing in a haunted lake, mountains, actually do not live reminds me of the "side of the lake" "Some people say the lake is a mountain lying on the surface of the earth's a tear" It's very appropriate lyrics with this view, but the.
Back to the way two small group that is not enjoyable to go riding, they begin to whip the horses trot. Soon came in front of their 'screams': in front of cattle, there is yak, yak Lan Zhao Lu does, how to do A? Tingna sound, it is estimated two clown This turned pale, and yak scared no joke the horse will be wounding. I quickly asked around Drolma, she smiled and said nothing, yaks will not hurt them. I calm down, gone through that period, see that big brother was lying on the roadside rest yak it! After that the road, two small group and then children are also not spurring a mad rush.
10, small Potala Palace - Songzanlinsi
When arriving Songzanlinsi nearly dusk, setting sun shines into the temple there is no masking the walls Songzanlinsi is a hillside of the Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, Lex taste of some of the Potala Palace, but no cloth Dalat Palace imposing and majestic. Songzanlinsi more general construction community, many more run-down buildings, which made me even more would like to quickly meet my Abdallah. Lamas wearing crimson clothes, and dark tan skin color is also unable to form a sharp contrast. Into the hall to be clockwise from left to right to visit and can not wear hats, we can not take pictures.
I remembered the years when the car was seen on the setting sun shining on the beauty of the temple out of the hall ran to the place and time on the race, unfortunately, ah, when I arrived, the sun is already gone. After all, did not surpass the time this way, I am out of breath, they simply sat down, the temple at the top of the sky is so blue, with no clouds, just like a canvas, I Taikoudakou to adsorption gas, around Jingde be able to hear his own rapid heartbeat. No time constraints, there is no tour guides or the hordes of tourists bad for your mood at that moment, as if really solidified the. Azure blue sky, earth and yellow lamas in temples and shuttle here, which compare the impact of the strong blocks of color so that you can not help to want to use a small camera down the whole shoot.
Return on the road, cars a turn and suddenly see the never seen before Huoshao Yun, layer upon layer of clouds to children because of the sun's rays in different directions to form the Orange, red, etc. in different colors. On children have been out, hanging Huoshao Yun layer above the blue-violet of the sky in the village of care, the more and more mysterious look. I could not help to cry out: It is too beautiful, and parking, I have to shoot down.
Photos are shot down, and unfortunately no matter how high-end technology, no method of washing, as once again put the beauty revealed itself, and I have only cut that scene deeply engraved in my mind that India can not recount.
To be continued ......
