In Zhongdian inquiries a moment and tour packages to the Meili Snow Mountain Mission few (I think there are many problems into a problem: at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain Deqin County is small, the lack of decent hotels, restaurants; Zhongdian to Deqin Only one road is not how good roads, Deqin county secretary to Zhongdian meetings, they have to take a day's trolley; and to climb Bai Mang Snow Mountain, the event of landslides during the rainy season, roads would be unreasonable; and Meili Snow Mountain is difficult for most of the year Lu Zhen Rong, local Tibetans said, there are lucky people to see the Meili Snow Mountain), if the Woliang formed a separate delegation, then the cost side will make us speechless, but not by us that will be able to walk away in the end, Woliang decided to go their own.
The Deqin car, a daily, 7:30 open, a good purchase tickets after a Sichuanese restaurant to eat dinner, then stroll a stroll Zhongdian county, back to the hotel to rest tomorrow, the day the car was sitting , De Qinhai pulling higher than in Zhongdian, there may be altitude sickness, in the Zhongdian has not the slightest sign of altitude sickness.
Car time out, just left Zhongdian Road, the roadside trees, weeping willows fu skills, a southern scenery, now is the best season here, but you go a distance, such as heaven and earth connected at the rolling Xuefeng constantly being Nongyun shrouded, snow-white Feng Jian exposed from time to time, you will never go wrong here when the south; car along the Jinsha River, to a unique piece of Earth Three Parallel Rivers region of the deep zone open to the . I have a mountain plot, special love of snow-capped mountains, from Zhongdian out since the snow had not disappeared all of a sudden to see so many snow-capped mountains, so that the road has become very interesting, I stared at the snow-capped mountains wait senselessly groups: can not think of his life can be Let me at once to see so many genuine all-mountain! The sun rose higher, snow-capped mountains of snow evaporation into clouds, to rise, peaks occasionally exposed by Feng Jian, into peaks disappeared the present, all of a sudden a group of peaks appear in rows, and too holy beautiful, I asked the same car the local people, these all call what the snow-capped mountains, he answered it well: "There are too many snow-capped mountains, but names that come to you from a bar crispness" of the ... ... climbing. Noon, to the Jinsha River Edge, white Mang Snow stopped at the foot of Ben sub-town, small town, do not look, but because of their location into the mountain roads on the ground quite reputable, not far from the town on the Mid-Levels Tibetan Buddhism in Yunnan Province is located in the second Daming Temple - Eastern Monastery, where a passing car full to eat lunch here, we picked a house Sichuanese opened restaurants, points paid close section of only fried, chili Chaorou Si, a Tang, the public asked for a bottle of beer, 20 a few dollars, a delicious lunch meal.
Ben had stopped after crossing the white sub-Mang Snow Mountain.
Bai Mang Snow Mountain is located in south-central Deqin County, in order to Yunling West branch, due to a snowy field on a vast expanse of whiteness is named, but also because of the shape of the White Horse Hill, called Baima Snow Mountain, Yunnan Province, where is the highest and largest nature reserve ( National Nature Reserve). Bai Mang Snow Mountain north-south direction, more than 90 kilometers long, wide and 30-40 km, in order to block off-type high mountain topography, peak bar bird Nepal peak, 5640 meters, the lowest Ben Jinsha River Valley sub-intercept, vertical height difference up to 3380 meters, the formation of three-dimensional sense of strong climatic characteristics and vegetation types, where the different altitude, retain a large number of different latitudes of the forests have become a huge library of plants and rare animal protection; at an altitude of 3200-4200 m in sub-alpine coniferous forest, it is now being included in the World Conservation Union, one of the highly endangered species, the heart of Yunnan silk monkey habitat, Yunnan silk Monkeys are primates, the only long-monkey species have bright red lips, but also the animal world in the long - most like the human animal, according to measurement, the population in the world today the only remaining 1500 or so, mainly in white-Mang Snow Mountain area near the snow line; Yunnan silk monkeys can be described as a family of monkeys in the most beautiful, golden hair was like, disc face on the left slightly, small, round eyes, thick red lips, a very Dunsheng see on our sympathy and affection ... ...
Then we went to the festival, Bai Mang Snow Mountain part of the snow below the snow line, most of them have been based, in some cases will be among the best of saw black on the left of the mountain there are round, oval flake of snow, the mountain get Netherlands, like cattle, on the way, it was to be convenient, I am out of the car on the street just a block mountain snow movies will take a handful of reaching in the hands of rubbing his hands washed clean, at the foot of the snow also shows that there has been an elevation very high, and see the driver to bow their heads looking for something, then I discovered that this rare medicinal materials under the snow, "caterpillar fungus";
Cars along the highway, in the mountains of the forest depths Jun circled the climb, mountain fold the mountain, there is no one at the end, leaned out the window to look down, see near, far from all the valley, Shen He, can not help but a little cold : This way, rainy day is not afraid to open strike? ! Have gone through this road, this life I have calculated that exposure of what is "steep mountains of the forest"; and the estimated car opened more than ten hours, and altitude should have been more than 4000 meters, white Mang Snow Mountain peaks surrounding the main peak in car Not far out of the window, and now I have to call it "Baima Snow Mountain", and here most of no snow on the peaks of, peaks of the ramp was a long strip parallel, resembles a group of Xinjiang bolted off the white horse, grand gesture, the momentum of pounds thin; vision is sometimes eyes suddenly see the light, car climbed the hill up and I can not help but ah, this is a very big hilltop grassland, grassland, such as you stroll the big grassy meadow, the grass was covered with red yellow rhododendron, the original snow line above the mountain azaleas in full bloom, is a specialty here, but also a rare rhododendron species, yak leisurely eating grass, on top of a blue sky and white clouds, Who knows, there was actually a very high altitude of 5,000 meters mountain plateau.
Vehicles in the alpine meadows on the open for a while, let's open enough to the field of vision, and finally down opened.
Saw Deqin county, the original Deqin county seat is located in a large valley of the Banpo on the elongated along the slope of the layout.
Deqin is located in the northwest of Yunnan and Tibet at the junction due to remote, inaccessible, there is no trace finished, the county seat is not too small a town as we have there, but the customs are pure may have left a deep impression: really "Daobushiyi night, families are not closed, "even if the open shops, and shops still open to leave; here people are friendly and amiable," deceit "yet to find on here, so you stay here, without fortification, only to sit back and relax. As a rule, served to implement tomorrow's activities: in the car to go here, can be package Meili Snow Mountain, as is the off-season, 400 yuan less. Turn around the station when the hit a pair of Kunming, about 30 or married couples, men and women both have the surname Lu, degree of annual vacation out of tourism, in fact to the same car with us, but also to the Meili Snow Mountain, just four pack of cars , a short while, men and small land use negotiation skills, turn 350 price, will be good tomorrow's car, not far away from the station to open a local private hotel down the legs, This dinner, with little land are A total of feast and ate the Hui people to do the rice, together we would be delighted to taste, the four individuals into a harmonious look at a small group.

Brightly colored Tibetan package, Yau close grazing of cattle, sheep, horses, blue sky of the sky, white clouds floating a blossoming ... ... I want to join the ranks of the conversation, head began to hurt them, and there are powerful trends in reaction to the altitude, So eat tablets painkillers rest.
Sleep is also good to sleep together, day and twilight, headaches have disappeared, last night had a few drops of rain, it is deeply concerned that if today's cloudy or rainy, Meili Snow Mountain, you certainly can not see, the old naive to help, days, not bad. The driver down and trustworthy, on time, and got into the car, heart will fly to the Meili Snow Mountain.
Meili Snow Mountain, also known as Prince Snow Mountain, the main peaks are 13 (which is a statement about the number 13 is due to the Tibetan people to identify the number 13 is lucky, they call 13 peaks), elevation in 5, 6 km or more, of which eight peaks over 6,000 meters, the main peak Kawagebo Peak, elevation 6740 meters for the first peak in Yunnan; Meili Snow Mountain, Tibetan medicine, meaning mountain, in addition to his rich forest resources, whole mountain is a treasure house of medicinal great seat; Wu Li Meili Snow Mountain stretches a few hundred years, accounted for 34.5% Deqin County area, Diqing of Tibetans have lived in the Meili Snow Mountain at the foot of generations, the deep cultural heritage confers of the Meili Snow Mountain.
Prince's 13 peaks of the peak curve is the United States, if the clouds cleared to blue sky as the background of the 13 peaks like a fairy clan, in the air Looking to the earth, giving endless imagination; in a strong religious atmosphere of Tibet, Meili Snow Mountain is a very spiritual: the main peak Kawagebo peak, like an giant pyramid, outgrew the peaks among the unusual tolerance any direction, the legendary Kawagebo, is converted to a Buddhist Phi white robes, riding a white horse, Shou Zhi Ying-wu sword of Mars, about the envelope of their were: peak shape of his very beautiful wife, Myanmar Tsimshian peak, the son cloth bands I Jiong Song Xuefeng, "5 the highest Buddha" in Kyrgyzstan and other doll-ren feng etc.; history, the Yuan Dynasty Karma Kagyu faction black hat for the Third World living Buddha Dorje Jiong had come to the foot of Meili Snow Mountain on the snow-capped mountains have been opened Canada Light, Meili Snow Mountain, became the guardian god of Buddhism; Ka Wage Bo has also been subjected to worship Panchen Lama, in October 1986, Panchen Lama to Diqing Tibetan areas during the visit, coming at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain in the Temple and on-line worship ceremony Kamiyama, was already wet and a half months Kawagebo the depths of deep clouds To her surprise, went so far as the Panchen Lama pilgrimage, the Ji-yun Dayton open, the air has displayed long-lost true capacity of the Kawagebo Lu Shen Zi, immediately surrounded by people who see this scene All prostrate BU fell to the ground, North Korea Kamiyama worship ... ... Yunnan, Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan and other places of the Tibetans, the transfer of the Meili Snow Mountain, mountain, worship has always been unprecedented, particularly in the Tibetan Year of the Goat - The mountain's Benming Year , anywhere in the pilgrimage to turn mountains are packed, non-ordinary people can imagine ... ...
Meili Snow Mountain is more of a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.
Located in the Himalayas Mountains and the transverse mountain range at the crossroads of Meri, geography and climate are extremely complex, coupled with the mountain glaciers has been a long-term longitudinal cutting, so that under the mountain lanes are cirque glaciers and ice clearance, icefall structure of the intricate combination of Meili Snow Mountain climbers to make a comprehensive more difficult than Everest; since the since the early nineteenth century, Britain, the United States, the Netherlands, Japan and other countries climbers right of the sacred mountains to conquer this fascinating, never broken off desire, but time and time again The climb, a second failure, disdainfully of Kawagebo, consistently refused to board the peak of his people; the last century, the second in the 90's, Japanese joint mountaineering unsuccessful, still its the first time in 1991, the Japanese joint mountaineering team, the eve of the forthcoming summit, 17 members were all killed, were buried alive in a sudden it to the avalanche, causing the world's second largest mountain in the history of tragedy shocked the world, will also make "meri" famous throughout the world; inconceivable that, due to glacial extrusion, an extension of the role, 7 years later, Ming-Yong villagers Mingyong Meili mountain's peak, the discovery of the victims have been sent out ice climbers dead and some of the relics, so to make Chinese, Japanese climbers for dual tasks ( The first climbers to find the body, possessions, and complete their wishes), and hand in hand, launched a second board sacred mountain, this time the Chinese have a lot of players there is a strong will and strong physical strength and rich experience in mountaineering Tibetan climbers, mountain climbing team with a strong shock to the Kamiyama fear and worship, the request to allow them on board his Merrill peak; remember that the record in such a description: a joint expedition of scientists and professors, climbing his way. Photo by Lennart Meri seismic force, so that all the players kneel before the glacier, the devout visit and prayer, bless their successful climbers; meri main peak has three glaciers, that is, three climbing routes to choose from, they naturally give up their first mountain routes - Ming Yong glaciers, chose the rain collapse glaciers, and glaciers in a Sri Lankan farmers, the latter of which was again a huge Ice Wall of resistance, but will instead re-climb the last line ... ... Seeing is only more than 200 meters away from the top, suddenly, near the Peak Service Climate drastic change, because for the first time the shadow of climbers reach the summit soon to give up, rapid descent, to be withdrawn after the foot of the mountain, look back Kawagebo, the peak was a bright sun ... ... From then on, "Meili Snow Mountain" all the more mysterious and unattainable.
I have worked in more than two months from the day after the Merrill home, from the Internet to see a message: to live peak at the foot of the Ming Wing villagers (we are the main peak at the foot of a Tibetan guide ring to us to do, sometimes I guess I do not know does not will be his family), from the glacier and've found a 91-year Japanese climbers were killed 1 (21 year-old Japanese climbers of a university student) and diaries, detailed records of the time line and climbing every day, has been charged to the victims of ended, so far, the first detailed history of the victims have finally exposed the world, diaries later his mother in Japan, made a special trip to China to get back. Now, in the Meili Snow Mountain flying Siwai viewing platform (one of the best places to view Meri) next to the Li-one side dull red granite monument, silently mourning the victims souls.
Due to various integrated, "Meili Snow Mountain" finally by international climbers climb the snow-capped mountains as inappropriate.
I heart worship of "Merrill," To some extent, he was attracted me to this piece of magic land of Shangri-La as a magnetic force. In the tour Zhongdian, the wizard Dolma said, not everyone can see Lennart Meri, and only those who have brought to see him, Dolma said Woliang is luck, be sure to see Merrill, I Dolma was quite grateful for the auspicious wish language, I hope we have the person transported.
Meri 20 Deqin a few kilometers away from the road very well go. Driver is local, right here, familiar, and duty-bound to serve as our way to the Tao. The driver stopped the car in the coming Temple and took us to the best viewing platform at, let's look at Prince's 13 peaks, when the clouds a lot, and good days, well, 13 poly-peak hours when the scattered clouds, Myanmar Tsimshian peak - The mountain's wife, who had exposed the whole peak, let us appreciate the beautiful peak of her Zoran-based lines of grace: This is the seat white crystal, Feng Jian uniform taper upright peaks, there is room just around the interval, its independent stabbing the sky straight peaks, very pierce straight into the sky like a sharp sword; the rest of the peaks in the mist floating in Gone with the Wind呀呀, and Kawagebo only let us saw the next half of his body, upper body is always present and I asked the driver to see the main peak panorama do today, the driver also said that depends on the weather with luck, I do not live the consecration of Buddha along the way, and constantly pray Kamiyama: kind to us a sincere heart, allows us to smooth an audience; but in front of Meri has enabled us excited.
By Meri car stopped at the foot, and walk on the glacier but also a half-hour rugged Hill Road. Here tickets 60 yuan / person, if the horse walk Hill Road, and then 60 yuan / person, and can not travel all the Road, a small land Wolia with both men and women, have resolved to walk up the hill; due to a number of reasons, usually on the Merrill not many people travel, Besides, now days too early, we hit the mountains with little people, including local; take Merrill Road (because going to glaciers, this is not available on non-Hill) really tired, and I was the first time we went away, inexperienced, would be to wear double soft slope with sandals, luckily the public are able to walk the mountain the way only been his constant pulling.
Yuemo walked a half-hourly prosperous years, we came to the foot of the main peak (in fact, is the main body of the lower slopes Mineyama), where a few families lived, there's Tibetan women sitting in the door, smiled to me out 4 fingers, I thought she was asking us whether or not to guide and suggest the price, they smiled and shook his head, after that I understand, this is a hello to us, four fingers means that the four seasons make a fortune Tibetan mind-set, 4 is a lucky number; we are prepared to go out the way around from behind the house, she corrected we want to go clockwise (Tibetan considerable compliance shun this habit, because it is turning clockwise, which is a result of Buddhist psychology), go to House After the slopes, there is a Mani Dui, facing the meri main peak, we have according to Tibetan custom turn for the better Mani Dui, business resumed; the side of cliffs on the hillside to see the glaciers edge of a cliff on a rope hung The streamer fluttering in the breeze and the hada, I have to work out from the chest at ldan from Zhongdian. Songzanlinsi brought here in two white hada, Zhu Gao after some devout streamer hung next to the hope that Kawagebo accept our worship, let us his audience with the smooth.
Yeah, very big style! This is the famous Merrill main peak, Kawagebo a peak in front of the largest glaciers - Ming Yong Glacier exactly.
Mingyong is rare in today's world of low-latitude and low altitude of modern maritime glacier. It from the basin at 5500 meters of snow extends down to 2700 meters of the forest zone, the lower edge of glaciers just over 800 meters away from the Lancang River, glacial melt water into the Lancang River; glacier length of 12 kilometers (according to the determination is still extended), glacier width 500 m, thickness of up to 200-300 meters; wide large majestic glacier surface, showing blue-green ice moraine, ice boulders like a distance, such as the ups and downs of the python Pentium, this python is a slope on both sides of the original Green depressed forest, at the moment we stood on the slopes from time to time to see the flowers and grass; look at glaciers around a vast, up, down, left, right, in addition to days, is on the hill; along the ice toward the direction of it to look, because the vertical 4000 meters of elevation difference, Kawagebo in the sky at almost unattainable; Meri peak above the snow line of the snow is not year-round, but also supplies plenty, in the 5500 meters at the formation of a large snow basin, under basin is a spectacular snow The icefall, icefall diarrhea following is a 12-kilometer glacier ... ... the face of the immediate scene, as if someone suddenly Eurya us from the real world into another world - a purely natural universe, the chest full of right Chung Nature worship and devotion!
Since the formation and melting glaciers to the re-generation process, so that the surface looks like a solid ice below filled with dangerous ice groove and underground river, but it was how much we do not had the knowledge in this respect, four glaciers in the blind to find the way (in the hut next to Mani Dui side of the wall embedded a block of stone, not a letter to the local people as guides, are not allowed on the ice, and comes back only to see this piece of stone), no find the right path to go part-time, after more than half Instead, the more the farther away from the glacier, chilling me up, do not always feel at ease, it is proposed that a few households adjacent to the Tibetan Mani Dui home to find a guide, four was adopted unanimously. So go find way down and found Mani Dui; Mani Dui family lived next to the Tibetans, the window tummy twenties a young man, to whom we inquired on the glacier side of the road, homeopathic invited him to do our Wizard, did not say at what prices, after a naturally agreed, and later, I only know how good the Tibetan young man.
Under the guidance of the wizard, we go to Glacier, the road is sometimes very steep, which reminds me of Tiger Leaping Gorge in the tiger jumped down into the road, but here better than some; under the glacier before, the wizard looked at my sandals, undaunted, said: "This shoe not work", and think I am not able to dropped, on the next, the result is that the wizard has always protected me down to the glacier, the road is difficult, the fees of about an hour or until the.
Multi-strange glacier Yeah, we really stand on top of it!
Glacier surface and that was uneven, full of ice boulders and Ice Wall, the wizard with a lug our way towards center ice climbing, and always forget to protect me, in the glacier and turned on the turn, the climb of the many roads, finally met Ice Wall high on the wall had to stop here, no longer climb a; listening guide, said the glacier road is not fixed completely rule of thumb, there are ice-ditch, deep, and fell to the would have been dead that there had been such a thing, the four individuals in climbing, then one less person I do not know when not seen; the Wizard brings us to the safe zone - is a low-zone glaciers platform, our hearts be relaxed , to be honest, in the climbing glaciers, there is always a strange tension in psychology; men and a small army, Houshengkewei, not willing to just stop climbing, a person is not down with us and continue to climb, and one to part-time later, no return My heart is also tense, female small-Lu lips said, no worries, see also inner tension, the wizard complaining, told us to wait here, a man on the look for him, a moment, see the two-hop jump up jump down, finally landing a stone.
Suddenly, the wizard cried: "peak out, the rise to the peak look, see Kawagebo to disperse the clouds, wrapped in gold like the sun at noon, like Block, standing proudly in front of a giant pyramid-like mid-air, glittering, guides say that we are lucky really nice! I saw the face of this human difficult, and few natural masterpiece, heart full of emotion, a very strong reverence for nature and the psychological suddenly from a heart filled with devotion, I understand that the Tibetan Heaven and Man of the religion.
Then 10 minutes on the sun receded, clouds re-package the main peak; House lower body so I wanted to find a block from the soles of your feet nice small rocks to take home as a souvenir. Luck was good, the public and guide all to find a piece of small rocks, the public and the shape of a Myanmar Tsimshian peak, while the guide gave me a piece, is a pyramid-shaped body, the lower is the white marble, the upper-jian Feng Jian Department is brown stone, really narrowed the Kawagebo, as indicated in the lower part of stone swap about, is more ideal, is really no better a souvenir (home, used the two small rocks made a small potted plant, far from any deep Jane, I have to be).
Will be returning to have his back to Kawagebo vision is sometimes burst of wind blowing from behind, just in time back, see a high distance, a small tip off from a peak body of collapse, are slumping and immediately heard the Rolling Thunder rumbled like a burst loud noise, the original is a distant place Bingbeng the high snow-capped mountains, we were aghast: this point, but not psychologically prepared for the unexpected Kawagebo is used in this way with us farewell. Down the way, met many Tibetans go up the mountains, the original Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the Tibetan people to worship Kawagebo afternoon up the mountain god.
Return on the road, the driver stopped the car in the coming Teramae, let us look at a Prince's 13 peaks (should be explained that, in view of the glacier peak best distance recently, but the panoramic view of peaks, but it is here the most good), this time before the mist-shrouded peaks, peak Feng Jian disappearing clouds, but snow basins and snow basin below the icefall, the upper ice tongue was brightly lit in the sun, see a very clear, and more than one, three glaciers in the upper you can see it, which seems to be drawn into the past Mingyong throughout, like a pass ... ... heaven Yu-chieh, we hasten to their land and the two small glaciers in the background in the photo before, retaining the moment of epic proportions.
... ... Today (June 6) morning to get up early on the return trip boarding, Deqin out soon, before he went flying Teramae (passing), days of special good to find that Prince's 13 peaks, bathed in the morning, no clouds block, stretching forward to lay in front of the mid-air, an unexpected surprise: Kawagebo rate of 13 peaks, grand Corporate Banking! Amitabha! My mind just read out the sentence. Deqin people say that to see panoramic peaks are very rare, the public immediately took out his camera, Kacha Kacha Kuangpai a few, the passengers on board to react, but also have a dig camera ... ...
Since I agree that Merrill has a deep edge, or someone to not see him a few times, while Merrill has in just one and a half years, his variety of landscapes, an all-round show without reservations to us, it is is too kind to us; Tibetan head of eight Kamiyama Kawagebo God, your concept of the supremacy of the sacred elephant, from etched in my mind and maybe this is your God show me a kind of sentiment; I forged a letter with your deep - The complex will benefit my future never mind coherent way - of how everything in the universe of movement, the establishment and cultivation from the realm of mind broad and paramount; are well-known American scholar and explorer, described as "the world's most beautiful mountain" The Kawagebo, with its breathtaking natural scenery awesome, so many people dumping, charmed, How fortunate we are alone by his favor ... ...
Kawagebo, the original you bless us always Tashi Chandler!
