To buy special tickets is always a very difficult task, season tickets not buy a large, off-season were small, and the team put enough price of the number of total airline cheap anyway, do not count. Start booking one month in advance, temporary agency greet the day before departure, to special, only from Kunming, transfer, RMB950, never discount airline tickets in Yunnan, Kunming - Lijiang RMB420, Kunming - Zhongdian RMB560, top university. As a result, did not provide hotel, do not buy return tickets on the on the road.
Fortunately, one on the plane, the bad feelings will be "like a soap bubble-like" disappeared without a trace, make full use of three hours rest, but not muggy blanket pillow went to Kunming. Flight from Kunming to Lijiang, often seems late, but the Kunming airport there are many old-fashioned military aircraft used for training pilots, landing with a parachute to help slow down and occasionally training two aircraft took off at the same time. We actually looked with relish for four hours, and even had the impulse to buy an antique aircraft. Flight until 18:35 before take-off, Lijiang also 40 minutes of the voyage. Boarded the bus bound for the city Civil Aviation (RMB10 / person) This note Lijiang night sky so bright, the sky seems within reach for the stars, I really regret not properly involved in astronomy, or will be able to point out a number of very familiar constellation of Name啦. I was so close to the window glass, innocently, had watched for half an hour, it is estimated a temporary drop in 100-degree vision.
From New Town to the ancient town of Lijiang 6 yuan for taxis enough, the feeling of entering the town is somewhat disappointed that this is the town where呀? The streets are all selling handicraft products, selling restaurants accommodation, not to mention the tangle of trailing in the post. However, flow unimpeded along the way would be very special, is said to flow down the hills of snow, it is clear hurry. Side of the road dressed in traditional costumes Naxi girl lit the candle light colored paper, you can make a wish to buy a place in the water (my one regret). At that time I thought of a child, watching a clever break, there is a very touching scene, an off-shore discharge such water into the lights, and his mother, Gean far right look, but also remember? At that time I also shed many tears.
Cut! We went straight to big stone bridge, on-line knowledge Mix on the bridge waiting for us (also quite romantic bar), and go and live in the flower of their Malaysian Inn, down backpack went to the 97 restaurants, relying on memory, according to ctrip on the recommendation of a point of Mix ham, chicken hot pot (absolute 5 star), Lijiang, grilled fish, Chao Dou sharp, yak meat and the local beer, Dali and Lancang River, do not forget to prepare for the pot of cabbage, very waxy very delicious. Leighton dinner on the first overeating, but the water is pretty close to the bridge adds a lot of fun, and occasionally the girl next door restaurant liquor Tibetan people will also be adding to the loud and clear singing voice a bit tipsy. Flower While Malaysia's 24-hour hot water and powerful shower, red bath finished as the first step after the execution ground, Lijiang is now the coldest time of the year, all of the Inn are not air-conditioning, only charcoal burning stove or hot air machine. The reason why the Malaysian flower known as the Inn at the water's edge at night to fall asleep listening to the sound of water. The first night was cold, some people can not help but worry whether Kangde Zhu Zhongdian temperature.
Lijiang is an important year Hump a transit station in 1996 and 1998 experienced two major earthquakes, Lijiang is also a blessing because so loudly Since then, the world famous. Town about 800 years of history, is the only city without walls. Once a foreigner Locke in the 20th century open air, with an entourage, to Lijiang lived for 27 years. Town residents are mostly Naxi Ren, now, even the old ladies are selling sweet potato into the sea (5 cents of the Acura), and fried potatoes, what town expensive than the Metro, but is quite distinctive. Night walk stroll around the shop and saw the Bunun bell (when a maverick spent five months after the idea through Tibet), the only still using the Naxi pictograph, dog Charlie and I have ever seen The coolest and most complete Sportswear store (genuine good merchandise, but expensive), This town in front of me to trickle out of her charm.
Reminder:
1) If the transit flights to Lijiang via Kunming and will not leave the airport, ticket reservation and produce the security checks, in order to avoid re-purchase of the airport construction fee.
2) Most parts of Yunnan, large temperature difference between day and night, 12 months to February, in line northwest Yunnan (Kunming - Dali - Zhongdian / Shangri-La - Lijiang) to find an inn there are electric blanket or hot air is better. Inn of the price from 15 yuan to 60 per person per month.
01/06/2002 Sun Qing
The most beautiful town in the early morning.
Seven days, yet light, when just listen to get the water throughout the town and several more loud crowing sound, layer upon layer upon layer of roof with faint moonlight, exudes quaint atmosphere. Malaysia spent sitting on the steps of the river, watching the woman opposite to get up early to move away the wooden doors, a lazy yawn, it seems to drive away the last remaining bit of the tiredness. Days apart, Wang Dan slowly light up, creak rattle of Kai Mensheng then break out. Is also a new beginning.
Lijiang Bus Terminal starting from the air-conditioned luxury bus is extremely clean, comfortable and the fare to Zhongdian, also 25. Four hours along the most beautiful scenery, from the green terraced fields, to the lake like a jasper, from the steep winding mountain road to the grasslands, grazing leisurely eating leisurely eating yak, bit by bit people are excited. Many Gezhuojuchuang useless flash photographs effects are very good. To Zhongdian, when is lunch time. The car, he felt the plateau specific UV and strong sunlight, so they can only dark glasses, originally thought the altitude sickness had not occurred. Zhongdian County, the county an average elevation of 3,000 meters, recently approved by the central government changed its name to Shangri-La County, and perhaps add a bit of mystery bar. We checked into the terminal ramp opposite Diqing hotels, because it is low season, many rooms can be discounted. Here are four rooms of the Commission, the 20 yuan / person that, with the public health and shower, what we want is a blanket, with bathroom 120 standard rooms (high season is 220 per 1). There is also air-conditioned 380 original price, discounted to 280 luxury rooms. Zhongdian to Sichuan mostly, love spicy food, friends will love here, noodle, not spicy food that can point speculation Ersi and fried vegetables. Terminal opposite a street full of crappy little shops, casual Which can to try.
Because the arrangements in advance nor how, if we ask a person that Songzanlinsi can take a bus to the road, very close. So at the station waiting for a while, first worn in a 3-way, and then twisted the two roads, a road separated the two minutes are up, it is not to be commended. Fortunately, 10 minutes on the destination. Songzanlinsi a bit like the Potala Palace in miniature, a monk who was wearing a crimson dress, and tan with dark skin color are also unable to form a sharp contrast. Into the hall to be visited from left to right clockwise and can not wear hats, I have a door on the Wangyoubianzou, the young monks shouted a cry, I flew into North Korea. Long light that I have never seen before, is to use butter as fuel lamp, very pretty. A small temple courtyard raised a lot of small animals, small black pigs (Landrace there does not seem to), chicken, ah, ah what the sheep, that chicken can be powerful, and one can only fly from the second floor Shimoji, coat color black and to see up very delicious. Could it be monks eat anything? Climbing a few stairs, This was out of breath, they simply sat down the sun, the sky is so blue Zhongdian, with no clouds, just like a canvas, I Taikoudakou to adsorption gas, around Jing De able to hear his own rapid heartbeat. Occasionally, a huge eagle stretched its wings across from the sight This is not people realize that in the dream. This is what I imagined Songzanlinsi 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. I do not know when, got up伸了个懒腰, breath climbed to the top, has finally experienced the taste of the high latitudes. The main square in front of palace are two of 33 were both monks and talked with each other, gestures.
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. Turn a body, drawing from the top of the hill overlooking the 3,800 meters of the entire valley, seemed to stand at the foot of unstable mountain ranges constitute the line of a very different landscape.
01/06/2002 Sunday Songzanlinsi out clear from listening to people say that according to La Prairie not far off, 2-way car to go to. Did not expect that drivers are reluctant to go, the original half-way had to change trains, but they is pretty straightforward, 50 can be chartered, that drove a while, a back fell down, and then a bump, the rear seat is down throughout the , and really very funny. La Prairie is no grass in accordance with the time, even the yaks are eating grass on the hill go. But the vast grassland and of strong build of the horses are still people can not help whom echocardiography. For our Qian Ma a group of Tibetan children, the largest, but also ten years old, was able to take care of a large group of horses, and they launched the absolute ease myself stand up. Happened when the sun sets, the golden sunlight through the mountains, Cecil strands to sprinkle on the ground in the open. By La Prairie beauty is the kind of quiet beauty, though not seen here, the famous black-necked crane, but the feeling of grassland fascinated people still can not forget a long time.
01/07/2002 Monday Cloudy
Morning and found a driver, this may be the most fortunate of Yunnan trip thing. Ma teacher was Muslim, is also the first person to open Tiger Leaping Gorge. Do not overlook the title that year, but there are a lot of people in order to take the title and prize money lost their lives. MA Master in Laoshan, when the army learned to drive home until a few years after retirement, the early 90s, Tiger Leaping Gorge demolition of a mountain open, in order to save money, can only be so rewarded is willing to test the Yong-fu, then test the wind trucks, in the narrow winding mountain road driving is almost unimaginable, but in order to know where the road needs widening. Master Ma said that this 4 hours down, covered with a cold sweat, to the end to see the welcoming crowd could not utter even a word. Haba Snow Mountain is a horse master was born and grew up in places, and the Yulong Snow Mountain, like Haba snow-capped mountains of snow for many years, Ma has attached a four-year master of profits for the elderly with an Austrian mountain to climb on the Peak, Haba has more than 5000 meters of altitude, latitude from low to high, cover all the surface vegetation, mountain climbing, they can be found near the no man's land where the herdsmen grazing at night you can spend the night in their tents. Proposal could be considered bold by the summer of hiking.
Zhongdian left after about an hour went to the Shuo Du lake, from the lake on all sides to see her, a completely different view, master all the lake there are fish dating back 250 million years, as has not been contaminated, four of the scenery like a fairyland, around because of government restrictions, only a family can build hotels and restaurants. In the lake, horse master took us to see the two locked in a cage big black bear, is said to May, there is "cuckoo drunk fish" beauty may be cuckoo flower petals into the water one after another drift resulting from the specific chemical substances , so that the fish being faint, floating on the surface, attracting the mountains wild bears came Laoyu eat them, two, that is, when the small have been caught accidentally. Most of the frozen lake, and sometimes you can hear the sound of Gulp, Ma said to be the master of the otter lake swim up ventilation, only a pity that they were too smart, not easily seen. Akira in a circle, feeling a bit hungry, we ventured into the lake of the restaurant, because we did not see one person apart from four, and some worry that they do not open. Dolma Tibetan girl did not expect warm greeting we entered the room, let in a tiny side Kaohuo charcoal heating. Our point of grilled fish, vegetables, tomato soup and beef Thelephora, of course, butter tea. Dolma went to the lake, grasping a frozen carp, cut open the wash, sprinkled Yi Bayan, a net caught in the iron directly on the fire baked. We took advantage of her when cooking drink a bowl of buttered tea, a good drink. Then a few sisters Droma shyly came, the room suddenly a lot of fun. This carp is the best I've ever eaten fish to eat (as if in general we do not eat carp, right?!), As the other extra dishes, but also the absolute best. Dolma and her sisters, and we talked for more than two hours before its withdrawal, or reluctant to part with, there appears to ask endless questions. Even her two kittens are also along for the ride, but these cats were all eating raw beef Thelephora grew up in Shanghai than in most cats can be, and calls also makes people think of the wolf ... Shuo Du lake there are many Tibetan Mastiff , in the past on the road, he hit a herd of cattle and pigs, excitedly taking pictures off the camera suddenly ran into a small Black Bull Lane, and then often billed as a look, have revealed the blood-red tongue and sharp teeth, dear! was originally the first Tibetan Mastiff, then the master says that fortunately horse owner, or his life one day. Return journey on the road, he saw some bolt on the branches of a Tibetan mastiff, the guy trying desperately to break free, to pull the branches are too Didi De, good horror!
