Get up early, everyone regarded to wear clothes, regardless of internal and external, full on the body. After asking many people and goods, the final package to a two-car, or Changan vehicles into, the three men seated in the rear cargo compartment inside. From Lijiang city to the mountain road a surprisingly straight start, I have never seen such a sky-road: the car opened half an hour, has not yet Shui 1:00 Waner. Hirakawa school of dark green, was a straight white band cut in half, tape the end of the disappeared in the rain and fog obscure. We really like to go on the road leading to heaven. Getting lower and lower temperatures, combined with rain, the wind coming from the cargo compartment before and after irrigation, and even have some fat much. Fortunately, there is scenery to look at the way, our struggle is not followed by cargo door, boxy exactly a viewfinder, which gradually emerged in the box of rocks exposed to similar alpine meadow vegetation, cars started climbing.
Our destination was Maoniuping reportedly good scenery, but also a close look into the distance snow-capped mountains. After a baishuihe, elevation 1.1-point rise, we are excited, fear awaits the arrival of altitude sickness. Zigzag road, mountain runoff in small groups everywhere, there are several places embankment collapse of the half. Or finally arrived, but it is only Maoniuping below. Each of us rented a 20 money raincoat, she spent another 60, riding up the mountain. Riding mountain climbing is a more interesting thing: mountain roads are steep, slippery, muddy, and if the horse lightly to open a small difference, we get down the mountain Qujian our bones. Qian Ma who advised the people to move forward when we rely on uphill, downhill to go to their heads off. Fortunately, the horse's leg muscles Yunnan amazing all the way near misses, then simply close your eyes and enjoy the clouds in the deep forests of the fun of flying in general.
Six individuals up only after disappointment. Mountain white mist and fog, not to mention snow-capped mountains, that is, nearby Maoniuping could not see. Coupled with cold and hungry, we simply in the mountains, a Tibetan roadside barbecue shop to sit down. This ride incredibly, we have a 30 string before and after eating yak meat, and six barley cakes, and three frozen chickens. Thick fog covered the majestic and rugged Yulong the yak, six dressed in a yellow raincoat mast penguins down the mountain into a scene.
Back on the road, he saw a huge flat side of the steep slope, was covered with black soil, a group of white goats are feeding from the top down, black walls and highway intersection a white flowing mountain streams Unfortunately, that before they take out the camera, the car had Kaiyuan a. Whitewater river we stopped for children, there is a bridge called "baishuitai" attractions. A bit like Jiuzhaigou Wucaiche, only smaller black and white version of the Bale. Many people waiting for someone holding yak pictures. Baishuitai side down a few houses, the roof is quite distinctive from the yellow and red small irregular pattern makes up for the Green Mountain Whitewater has cast a heavy color.
That night, we persist in the ancient city a more upscale restaurant to eat dinner. Night and raining hard, we are in a crowded street and turn, leaving them whole body of water, the last did not enter any bars, did not buy anything, on the back. We look forward to Shangri-La of the sky is blue.
The next morning, we packed up and left Lijiang. Yang has a booklet, the above came here to stay staff comments, everyone was a bit flattering, I also write a poem: Crape Myrtle bloom season to guests cloud containing a few FY Octagon House in the ancient city of Shao-hua still. He moved out of the background to do a few antiques, everyone in the yard, according to Chang photo.
We are chartered to Zhongdian, the half-way swim the Yangtze River and Tiger Leaping Gorge, the first bend. Drove it out of the city of Lijiang soon entered a long avenue. We have seen this road Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a white group when hidden in the evergreen broad-leaved, at times, like a cloud. Indeed, she looks like than I imagined even majestic.
The Yangtze River at the first corner there is no spectacle of Tiger Leaping Gorge good about it. Zhongdian and Lijiang to the Jinsha River as the boundary, both sides opened up in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, scenic spots. We take the side of the Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge road, not far from where to where, but also must walk half an hour, came embedded in the mountain of the Plank Road, to reach. This Plank Road which can be dangerous, constantly falling rocks rolled down from above, with the staff of helmets everywhere. Next to the rolling Jiang Liu, is a vortex surface repeatedly, carrying sand, walking stone. The opposite side of a precipice on the repair of the road, away from the river a few hundred meters high, car, such as bug crawling. Tiger Leaping Gorge to the water sound Ruleiguaner, at the foot of the rocks are due to resonance and vibration. Raining the past few days, most of the river than normal, and near the surface, a concept of attraction has been submerged in water, standing on the bridge will be able to feel the air rushing toward the water. Here the river narrows, drops small but entrenched rock on the riverbed, so the water hit the rocks, splashes monstrous waves. The water was brown like the countless Shousi inviting, hammering forward, painfully tearing growled, one will be pressed into the river, one will again be thrown into the sky. Wittgenstein thought there might be a good place, the human insignificance is obvious, it is likely to have the feeling of Vedic doctrine.
Way back from the Tiger Leaping Gorge, a very unique restaurant experience: the form of different kinds in the courtyard of the gourd, there are flat, there are three sections. The original of these "freaks" is the owner of the use of timber, rope pressure out. We ate lunch here. When ordering in the kitchen, just after someone to fish, originally intended to get one to eat, did not expect to buy the fish store owner to be more than one hundred dollars a pound! Then listen to the driver that this fish is from the adjacent playing up inside the Jinsha River, and the number of rare and delicious, in this band really want these prices.
After the bridge, we entered Diqing of Zhongdian County.
