Lijiang and the surrounding area nine days Gong Lue
In mid-September (after summer vacation, before the National Day is definitely a "sneak in" days) to a trip to Lijiang, Yunnan. Completely self-reliance, sense of self, both the full itinerary, without losing the laid-back, but time just took a 5 days annual leave, the use of before and after the weekend, spent a total of 9 days (actually more than 2 days travel), spending is also not Gao (4000 million, mainly accounted for round-trip airplane 2000), the following more detailed itinerary will be recorded in here, ready for traveling friends as a reference.
The first day, Chengzao 8:00 plane to Kunming (6 off ticket 940 yuan), 11:00 to. Yunnan eat snacks (very cheap), to Qichexizhan the bus by 2:00 p.m. (Volvo 150) straight to Lijiang, the time trifle generous, it is necessary to get to 10 pm. Scenery along the way is also good in the evening can be seen towering marble Cangshan, quietly Lake Erhai. (Of course, sufficient funds may choose to fly to Lijiang, a friend, about 400 yuan). Night live in the Old Town of Lijiang, we live in a called "Naxi people," the Inn, their home front is behind the house are the flowers, the moon approached the door, "八月桂花香", a little true. The room is very clean, 20 yuan per person per night, generally between two people. In fact, such a lot of residential Inn in Lijiang ancient city, go out the door guxiang, that is, stone bridge, that is, flowing water, very nice. The bar that night we went to the river bubbles to the 13 o'clock or so, the torrents of water from rivers has long day's journey of pain swept away. During the meeting, there will be fellow of Naxi Acoustic self-compiled tunes up in the silver moonlight, why not generous it? (10 million), and the lad will tell you in a friendly manner, visitors dispersed, he will continue singing in the Square Street of his songs, welcome to listen to. Later we really at 13 o'clock or so, sitting in a small square on the quartzite, despite the rising mood and music in the night sky where the ancient city of rendezvous, loitering.
The next day, early in the morning 6:30, I got up (I do not know where would such a large momentum), signs can be mounted along the city's highest point - the eternal building, 7:00 to see Park, who has not played before, can be slipped into the go , saving a ticket:). In September the weather is not very clear, can not see is the opposite of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from afar; but can be seen at the foot of the ancient city from the dawn of awakening. Layers of black under the eaves, the only relatively tall wooden temple architecture is the government of (Wood House was previously the residence of the Naxi hierarchy are toast), days after full bright, you can follow the path covered with dew of the quartzite go back to Square Street, continue along the wooden door to someone in the family "gone is a" pretext of opening, out of the Naxi Ren wearing traditional dress (as if what is called "seven stars", behind the 7 circles) and the old lady. There are many chartered Square Street soliciting drivers, and we had a good talk with people, Zhongdian, Tiger Leaping Gorge on the 3rd of the chartered plans, "small side" just sit down and we have a line 6 people, 750 million (the conditions of our attraction tickets by drivers to buy). As early as 9 o'clock start, went straight to Zhongdian, also known as "Shangri-La" - a dream place to start. Along the way to mountains, across the Jinsha River. After the self-state into the Diqing Tibetan landscape here is entirely different with the river, between the hills is full of straw, Tibetan homes, barley frame, and can not be said the names of plants, the green was DiCui, red, Si Huo. 3 pm to Zhongdian, we immediately went to Songzanlinsi, which is the largest of Lamaism monastery in southwest China, accounting for half of a hill, very impressive. Lama could be invited to be lining up to touch the top, remember to say "le," can be, and incense casually himself to the money. From the Songzanlinsi out, went straight to an all lakes. On the road through the Bita Lake (in fact, is said to Bita Lake is the most beautiful highland lakes, but unfortunately it was raining, went into Bita need to ride a two-hour horse, had to give up the idea). In the evening, to belong to both lakes, we immediately decided to stay here tonight (25 yuan per person, two rooms, not bath), rather than the planned return to Zhongdian county, even though the lake pipes Tibetan friend told us not electricity (which is electricity), no cell phone signal. Because in our eyes Here is paradise: a quiet lake, misty rain in the distant mountains, clean cabins, as well as our only six tourists. Evening with friends around the candle and the Tibetan buttered tea to drink (honestly flattered), eating yak meat, singing in antiphonal style, the Tibetan people's voice so kind, "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" can easily go up to sing, but I could be too shy , that several "Dolma" long-awaited. More humid cabin at night before bed to use carbon-roasted look, you can sleep in a warm alive the sense of.
The third day, get up early, marching mist, you can ride along the wooden planks of the Plank Road on the lake went to two distant mountains and the lake front of the next deep breath Liangsheng shouted "Hello"; also morning exercises with the yak cattle ask about "Good morning." 9:30 departure, under the old road back to Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tibetan endless scenery along the way, you can stop cars to take pictures anytime, anywhere. This is the benefits of chartering. At noon in the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge (bridge town) to eat lunch, went straight to the tiger jump. On the road, and have a jump on the tiger (not stop), it entered the Grand Canyon. Days just clear up, the sky blue color appeared in a corner. Jiang Guo, Yulong Snow Mountain in the distant Li Yang acids we need to head outside to see the day, you can imagine, you have seen the highest mountain is just like a child squatting Yulong the below-knee, and her kindly face always in the the high clouds, such as hidden as is. This way, I understand why, as the Tibetan snow-capped mountains as a fetish, pay homage. Of earth and rock in the hillside, requiring 1 hour bumpy road to reach the tiger jumped. No doubt, for sitting on the cliff side of the car who was a test of the psychological. Because half a leg has landed the air, while at the foot of the deep roar of the Jinsha River valley where here heard only the hum Diming. 15 o'clock, we came to TINA'S (English is the Gap Inn) stay there, the boss TINA is a passionate girl. Because we are the first customers that day, so we have chosen to stay there room window on the Yulong Housing costs 10 yuan per person, I still do not understand that this built on a hillside in the valley, landscape excellent shops why so cheap ( There are public showers can be a hot shower). Opened the window, that is, Weiwei Yulong, the clouds hovering on the hillside, and the invisible at the end of the canyon, I do not know the gods is not lived in such places. After a cup of tea, we prepare for the next in the gorge. Teacher Chang Inn has now been more than one way, we chose one next to another, or each collected 10 yuan. Down to the gorge at the end of about a half an hour, there has not yet developed, people can climb the riverside boulders, and the roar of the river up close. The occasion of the summer and fall because of erosion during the rainy season, the river is very turbid, like the feeling of the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall (I never went on television to see), but there is no cross-strait Hukou towering mountains, would therefore be less than "two sides of Castle Peak relative out, a river roaring days external "tiger jumped far more forceful and magnificent. Back to the TINA'S already dark, and washed off any indulgences, after a while playing in the balcony, "fairy card" At this point in life, who needs success?
The fourth day's trip to Lijiang, which is the most difficult day because more than 20 kilometers from the foot of the mountain to come out. They're people "to Blame," what the best possible advertisement for Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot, so fellow JJ / MM Yingzisashuang to one early in the morning on her own luggage, and urged us to set off. 8:30, from the TINA'S next to the trail up the mountain, in fact, this paragraph is the most difficult, high mountains, dense forests, rugged roads. Too tired to wipe their sweat is not enough time, let alone to see what the landscape of. More than one hours later, surrounded by smaller trees, and burst of refreshing mountain breeze blowing, away tired eyes is another 1000 meters above the winding narrow winding path. Trails in the mountain ridge between the flickering, stretching to the distant. Feet that the cliff is like a thin line of the Jinsha River, is a mountain rising from the smoke curl; in solemn and sacred Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain in between throughout the spring, we are easy to forward. 3322 came from time to time, or face the lonely blond backpackers, they will give you a friendly smile, with Ying Ying Chinese say "Hello", this sheep out of the path is perhaps one of their feet toward the world's bar. 11 points, we have to HALFWAY, a TINA like a small Inn. Slightly appropriate rest, move on, about a two o'clock in the bar, went to the Tea-Horse Inn, eating a bowl of warm noodles, dry in sun after midday sun mountain (rubbing sunscreen, remember), listening to birds, watching Toyama , "puff", would the laid-back than Starbucks coffee in the afternoon more alcohol. After rest, we are two-pronged, physical good, and then take 28 Shui, but for someone like me: Take the 5,6-hour mountain leg to play soft, directly from the tea-horse down the mountain. About 4 pm, down to the hillside on to the tiger jumped on, this is a development of good spots, Yourenruzhi; down to the gorge can only be the end of the Ge Zhao railing and looked far away; even a sick person The "Tiger Leaping Gorge, photography charges 1 yuan," stone. In fact, realistically speaking, the tiger jumped the tiger jumped over the gap between large and fast-flowing, more spectacular, but what are all vulnerable to the destruction of human artificial, which is perhaps the most online friends admired the tiger jumped the reason bar. Called the driver, from the tiger out of hair, at the town bridge to connect us down from the 28 Shui heroes (such as do not like to imagine so difficult to walk), to the "Camp" embarked on, 20:00 lights back sometime around the Lijiang.
The fifth day, rushing down a few days, we were a little tired. Decided today not to far away, only to Deng Yulong Snow Mountain. When to go, or chartered, the day 80. On the road after a shortage of large tracts of barren rocky beach, is said to be the ancient seabed, there is no soil available for plant growth, and now have to shell length of the plants did not last long. We have come a few days ago, it staged a shortage of what a rocky beach on the Snowy Mountains Music Festival, Cui Jian shouted sternly as if led by a big guy. Said to be "mountain climbing" was in fact take the large cable car (quite dark, cable plus tickets, city maintenance costs 170 million). Yamashita true would be to do business, rent Down 20 yuan, rent oxygen tank 20. I have nothing more to say, at the top of Mt Bel-huan, a sister armed up, no 10 minutes down. In fact, it all depends on their own. Bad weather, the Peak inundated with rain and mountain cable car is always in the clouds inside cover. Visibility up to 10 meters, 10-minute ropeway journey, only to feel less and less trees, more and more thick fog, feeling with the "Ghost" where the "almost impossible" like. Unexpectedly, it tells of the rope to understand, not to the "paradise," but to "hell." Because the cloud could not see the snow and blue sky, altitude of 4600 meters above no signs of life, surrounded by rocks, pale patch of rocks. Hui-lie in front of the glacier has also looked very strange, like purgatory where boiling limewater. Honestly, I do not like this place. Finally, the sky clear up for 10 minutes, tile blue sky and bright sunlight out of a persistent cloud sprinkled Peak. Instant, the Peak of snow light shine out of the blue sky, pale to bright up the mountains and mortal, "hell" instantaneous time, overtaken by "heaven", I began to understand the pursuit of mountain climbers, and the pursuit of the process of face psychological pressure. After the downhill, the driver took us to a few nearby landscape, nothing less than the Lijiang Naxi Ren about the history and Naxi folklore, Naxi ancient music. There is a "source of Wanquan" more magic, springs gush from the tree hole, saying it was the source of the river throughout the city, I am deeply suspicious.
On the sixth day, with the driver to discuss good price to Lugu Lake, chartered a two-day 600. As early as 9:00, crossing over five mountains, once again through the Jinsha River, the lake opened until 16 o'clock the veil of mystery. The lake is less than Qiandaohu vast mountains and less than beautiful West Lake, but the deepest lake gives the impression that she's quiet, and the clear. Even walking the lake dirty pig, Banchi away can be seen at the end of the lake is clear. Su boat on the lake, listening to Yao Chuan-Mei Kuang Yuan's voice in the vast blue sky and Razor Hill lake fly beside a beautiful woman, if accompanied, like year's Fan Li and Xi Shi is also a bar, but this way. Lugu Lake is the Moso people's "mother lake", the few remaining matriarchal society, marriage still retains the traditional walk. It simply means that men and their lives living in the mother's home with sister's children, only at night to a good friend of the woman at home overnight. Of course, the people are not as we might think; today take the club tomorrow, take the West family; and outsiders can not easily walk chaos. Do not listen to hype the driver intends to what Yan Yu? Early as possible Xiezhuo go, say, Moso girl's looks ... ... hee hee. We live in the village drowning village home (25 yuan per person), from the opening night, a place very close to a bonfire. Bonfire night is only one word - "trouble-smelling," probably is my night, "Kamba man" indeed drunk, I did not tell the girl Fellow Bengda Mosuo a few on the dizziness and get back home village went to sleep. Can be considered brothers to go to the same the next day bragging chance.
The seventh day, the plateau seems brighter than those of the Beijing late, 6:30 a-day is also a half black. I got up, walking along the road yesterday, pigs stroll along the lake, looking over the lake wake up. The morning, at our insistence, the driver ran a half-hour mountain and took us to a more deep Rigby Lake Island. Rigby is a peninsula, when we went up the water into the entire Island. Like the lake-mee, visitors few little shops, so we city people's emotions also exceptionally good, straight regret not living in here last night (side rowing is also cheap, 10 yuan per person; in the village fell into the water to be 25 yuan). Georgia is probably the time to leave the Village is already more than 10 o'clock, and Tashi Big Brother house "coyotes" has been sent to halfway up the mountain to our car at only lie on the ground, Tuzhe tongue reluctantly looked at our car far去. The voyage (there is still a no paved road) 6,7 hours, 17:00 minutes we returned to Lijiang. "Zuihua Yin" and "Naxi people," Inn has been fully staffed, headed Aunt and his older sister was too embarrassed to tell us of the change of an Inn, and warm inviting us to the Mid-Autumn nights come to her house to eat moon cakes. Easily, we are not far from a big Zhaizi stay there, the courtyard, there are gurgling river flowing through, 32 different gestures chrysanthemums under the moonlight in the water, flowing out of a delicate fragrance. In front is a root carving of a low table, lap grass stool, so it became our pitched battle stage. 0:00, we finally got to the house from the "J" hooks back, 14 o'clock, and we win with "A" Zhuang final.
The eighth day in the morning, do not ignore it any time Meimeidishui to the warm sunshine, through the flower windows, shaman bedside. 10 o'clock, from the side of the International Youth Hostel borrowed bike (10 yuan per day, deposit 100, to take good pick, I would ride that went very bad), rub a good sunscreen, wear a good sun hat, we go hiking ! According to maps index, probably spend a half an hour, you can come to "beam river city." Its architectural style and the "big city study" very similar: From the stone bridge looked hillside is covered with a black roof, but also flowing Qinglie every household in front of the spring. Is less noisy shops, bustling tourists, and exquisite decor, it is peacefully in front of laundry in their own vegetables, totally do not care about our silly a few carts of foreign households are looking around. From "Beam River Ancient City" out already 13:00 o'clock, a few friends to go around insisting Lashihai, I do not want to run, self-serving manner Naozhongqujing went back to the ancient city of Lijiang. Back to the Inn wash my face, take on this to bring the light readings, walks went to an outdoor tea, find a place to sit adjacent river: a book, a cup of tea, a repeated afternoon sun, a river on the other side noise, there is a "Floating Life half a day" state of mind ... ... so to kill an afternoon. Immediately to leave in the evening shopping hours. Dongba text of wood carvings, handwoven cloth casual clothing, silverware, can buy 12, get friends and family for a good choice (Jade, do not touch, unless you are expert).
The ninth day of the bus by 8 am, 4 pm to Kunming. Fed bread to eating a dinner (never more than 100) and buy a lot of flowers on the (various colors of a bouquet of 20 roses to 6 million) went straight to the airport. Shortly before midnight, returned to Beijing. Wake up time, which to work.
