All in all, are beyond my imagination. All in all, are like dreams in the walk, people can not forget. . .
D1: Shenzhen - Lijiang Old Town of Lijiang

Arrangements for the afternoon visiting the old town, after a wooden palace (ticket 40, did not go in), white Longtan so. Night, a small river in the ancient city bar food, clubbing. We are particularly fond of this ancient city of Lijiang river. And swift rivers, clear water, water, sound blowing a lot of color for the ancient city of Tim.
D2: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (including the Black Dragon Pool, etc.)
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lijiang ancient city from afar, has been shrouded in fog inside. Up to the height of 4506 meters above sea level only glimpse of the evident. To listen to groom say they often climbed up mining medusa. Snow-capped mountains, snow lotus, away from us is so near.
6:00 am start to beat Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Black Dragon Pool, the reflection. Along the ancient city can be a large windmill out of road, 15 minutes on its way. Do not have tickets before 7:30. The wind did not shoot a very good reflection. Came out to eat in Yunnan rice noodle, departure to the Yulong Snow Mountain.
Into the snow-capped mountains of the fare is 40 yuan, 20 yuan is now must add a city maintenance fees. After that they pay into the cableway and other costs, are more expensive. First go MAONIUPING. There are two ways on the MAONIUPING, cable is 60 yuan, 63 yuan riding. Recommended not to take the rope, very short, not worth. Tour guides and drivers will say that riding unsafe, time is very long, not right, because the guides and cableway company and his gang. MAONIUPING is a plateau of grassland, there are Tibetans live. In the above can enjoy yak meat, yak milk, etc., you can also horse riding (60 million), or riding a yak (50 yuan, to look inside to go), to the foot of snow-capped mountains. May is the dry season, the lake no water aerodromes. From the MAONIUPING down after baishuihe lunch, the river water, the color is divided into different levels, very good looking. PM Quzuo large rope up to the altitude of 4506 meters, fare 110 per issue. Comparing the above cold, if I can rent clothes, down clothes is not enough (15 million). There are also rental of oxygen, but the basic need. Our day is from the travel company chartered the package fare is 20 yuan / person.
Came back at night listening to Naxi ancient music, Lost Horizon, the absence of a lot less attractive. After reading the ancient city continued to clubbing, went to a "Bluebird Cafe", met with a number of channels in western China Central Television-hearted big brother, everyone singing drinking, spent a wonderful evening. Beijingers wish yes boss here, very warm.

Lugu tickets 40 yuan, listen to others and the driver Mix said that if the establishment of good relations, they will help free riders or provincial votes, a pity that we were too much.
Zhajian Lugu Lake, after running about 6 hours soon as we are all amazed. Suddenly emerge in the mountains a blue lake, very beautiful. We turn full circle in the lake, the original decision to go to live in Rigby Peninsula, ZT drivers that the hard pulls us to the village fell into the water. Fell into the water more commercial. In the water there lives must pay attention to whether there is a bath, we do not live in that house, and then walk 10 minutes to wash in public bathrooms. Rates should be 10-15 yuan. Rice to eat in the living in that house, less delicious. The evening to attend the bonfire party, 10 yuan / person. Mosuo start a team of men and women moved around a 40-minute hop dance, see all Mongolia, and then singing in antiphonal style, not very meaningful. Have not seen a walking marriage.
Came out from the bonfire party, bright moonlight, we are lying in the boat pier where pigs Caochuan singing, the stars, sun moon, a beautiful sight.
Tranquil beauty of the lake from the mountains in the exposed, we cheer the car is a burst. Lugu Lake before, it seems, and imagined a different, mysterious Mosuo people have a lot of light. Hurry two days, we seem to see the lake, but I think we do not see a real lake.
D4: Lugu Lake - Lijiang

A group from the first day of the bridge on foot to the Halfway (HALFWAY), the next day from the Halfway to Tina's, and then under the teacher's house from Zhang Zhong-Hu-hop rock; B Group tiger jumped on the first day of the visit the stone, the tiger jumped the next and the next day Tina's rest. We feel that this route on foot is better, because walking quickly up the hill from the bridge, and do not eat on the road dust, while the Tigers from the big jump came with the next, there are a long way to walk on the road, landscape is not good.
We had a package sent to Zhongdian Gold Cup 15 days, because 5.1 is up, so prices of 1,500 yuan for two days. 30 yuan ticket into the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tiger jump on the road on foot is not difficult, is the standard-class foot line. The hardest place is 28 Shui, continuous uphill.

In the two Yulong, Haba, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, raging forward flow to the Jinsha River, the rumbling sound of the river to guide our steps, step by step, traversed a 28 Shui, Halfway, Tina's, Chang teacher's house. . .
D6: Tiger Leaping Gorge - baishuitai - Zhongdian
7 am more than to leave the Halfway, 1.5 hours later arrived in Tina's. Rest for a while and then to Chang Inn teacher's house to begin the next tiger jumped in after the teacher Zhang Xiu's "blocking the door," to pay 3 yuan / person from passing travelers. Canyon Road under the scenery is very good. Does not require any guide. By following the river you can set foot on the stone, close contact with the Jinsha River. In the following continues to move forward, through a wooden bridge on the tiger jumped into the stone, I heard that a need to pay 2 yuan / person, we do not know how to cross later.
The upper and lower canyon of time of 45 minutes, playing the fast in the following 50 minutes. After eating up delays for a very long time, until 2:30 left Tina's, go to baishuitai. Because the road, we spent four hours to reach. Baishuitai tickets 40 yuan, there is horseback riding, but slower than walking. The top has a Xiannv Hu, very strange. See baishuitai must go in, can not just stay on the Plank Road, in fact, is not at a place with water slide. From the baishuitai out, the crafty and say that we add money to the driver. We arrived at Zhongdian, in order to be able to, had to give him added a 100. This does not disloyal driver, surnamed Li, telephone number is 13,988,870,864. We should pay attention to.
Evening when we arrived at Zhongdian, travelers club, from here we have the happiest period of journey. The club is a self-tour are warm home for our journey provided a lot of help. Warm sense of humor of its trunk, including Tibetans, if Cziring Sun (Chinese name Xiao Yong), who looks like the Tibetans peas Hangzhou, Zhejiang Chiang Kai-gentle, everyday jacket shorts Singaporeans side less serious and responsible calf, the students look like The Xiaojiang.

Zhongdian, renamed Shangri-La is now. In fact, I still prefer the name of Zhongdian, in which the same filled with reverie. Zhongdian Yunnan road in Sichuan, Tibet, the traffic arteries, the extent of its prosperity beyond our imagination. Plateau's climate to create a warm, cheerful, hospitable Tibetans, has taught us unlimited joy and yearning for Tibet and further.
D7: Zhongdian - Dechen
In Zhongdian our team divided into two groups, one group to fight to see the charm of endless Deqin Meili Snow Mountain, a group of play in Zhongdian. We are starting to Deqin 9:30. Scenery on the way, we rented Beijing Jeep (500 yuan / day, because of Zhongdian, renamed Guile Dian) flew on the road to Dechen. All along the roads, difficult of access. Our driver is Xiao Yong. He also sang again jokes, the way was very fun. The first attraction is the Jinsha River at the first corner, feeling like a big bread, there are a lot of color where Kuangpai donkey. We are halfway benzilan eat rice. East Chikurinji afternoon. In the temple monks gave us some snuff, smoking and indeed the post-airway patency.
East Chikurinji too quickly climbed the Baima Snow Mountain. Our car moving at an altitude of 4200 meters of altitude, we all feel a bit sleepy. Starts off with some of the best high altitude medicine. Read the Baima Snow Mountain, I feel far worse Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. We look to Cong Juli on to the snow line. Playing in the snow for quite a long time.

D8: Meili Snow Mountain, Mingyong
After reading many StrategiesChinaInc Meri its charm has not been conquered us. Kawagebo, the sacred peak, is able to provide our raising the veil?
Up early, flying towards the temple to see the sunrise Meili Snow Mountain, the mysterious Kawagebo has been hiding behind the clouds, the sun hit the clouds, the seeing clouds look like is to spread out, but go too far in front of clouds slow, and another horse behind the clouds rush over, to Kawagebo concealed. It seems Meri is the hope that the next time we come again. Kawagebo altitude of 6740 meters, no one has conquered the whole of 1991 the Sino-Japanese climbers were killed. Kawagebo Tibetan Buddhism Kamiyama, every year many believers come to Mt.
Then go to Mingyong, opened a one-hour fast cars, to the mountain's foot. Glacier tickets 60. You can ride (or mule), up 60 yuan, down 20. We walk up took more than three hours. The shuttle in the woods along the way and feel pretty good.
D9: Deqin - Zhongdian
Up and realized what a morning rain, completely gave up hope of veil lifted Lennart Meri, then drive back to Zhongdian. Halfway through the Baima Snow Mountain, in the snow, so we are very excited, playing down a snow battle.
Back to Zhongdian went Songzanlinsi (10 yuan tickets), also known as "small Abdallah." However, not large in scale. In the upstairs has a living Buddha, looking Qiyuxuanang, very Buddha gas. The temples and Buddhist temples and Turkey was very different from the pattern to the Buddha's appearance is different, very interesting. The way we have been Napahai grasslands, stay a moment, because there is no rain riding.
D10: Shangri-La Grand Canyon
From Zhongdian package of Changhe car to the Grand Canyon, 300 yuan, six individuals. Opened 3.5 hours to, in fact, real name is Bi melt Gorge, tickets 20 yuan. Canyon has a crystal clear stream flowing through, very beautiful. Basically foot the steep rock on either side of the next walk through, next to acoustic bursts, and always of the mountain flowers open as early as you can see and feel great. Gone through three bridge, the canyon opens, there will be no less majestic scenery of the. Generally based on four bridge to finish. One-way 1-1.5 hours.
D11: Zhongdian - Dali
We take night shift car from Zhongdian to Dali, 62.5 yuan tickets, starting 19:30 in the morning prior to the 4:00 Dali Shimonoseki. We slept in the car 6:00. Take a taxi 30 yuan to the ancient city of Dali. Since it is a tired, we decided to stroll in Dali old town where one day, we rented a bike (8 yuan / day) walking to and fro in the city, while洋人街constant daze. Dali gave me the impression that excessive tourism development. Do not say you're sitting on the street when the bar is not someone to bother (to buy things, sidewalk begging for money), separated tens of minutes have a tour group to visit this洋人街, was very funny. Had known this might as well spend the day in Zhongdian. This one day be regarded as a mobile bar.
Dali bubble a day bar, night stay at the hotel literature House of Peoples, a suite 90.
D12: Dali - Kunming - Shenzhen
I originally prepared to travel to Kunming,洋人街vehicles (Iveco 65 yuan, Volvo 105 billion), not enough votes Iveco (preferably a day ahead of bought votes). We decided to Shimonoseki Quzuo. 4-way bus ride (CMB 1.5 per) to the next pass, tickets also very nervous, bought a 9:45 Iveco (71.2 Yuan + 2 yuan insurance). 2:00 pm arrive in Kunming. Mengzi cross the bridge noodle eating, very good to eat. 67 Bus ride to the airport (1 million), take the 17:25 plane back to the deep.
With regard to self-tour of Yunnan several aspects:
Clothing: As the Yunnan Plateau during the day, night, large temperature difference, but also on the snow-capped mountains, even in the summer, tourism, proposals must be brought down a suit of clothes, such as to ensure that no cold. If you want to walk, preferably a double more comfortable, appropriate hiking shoes (Hiking Boots). The summer, then put on sandals are a wise choice. Not only when the slippers to use, there may be wading, but also in cities and towns are comfortable wearing.
Food: The taste and Sichuan Yunnan Cai close, not spicy food, the best to be prepared. Yunnan, there are a lot of snacks is true that we enjoy along the way a lot. Zhongdian and Deqin due to the altitude, for the body weak Mix, eat some of the best anti-altitude sickness medicine, such as Rhodiola rosea and so on. In addition, it's best with a cold granules and found that the sign of a cold to drink.
Live: We have this basic Guide to houses and hostels mainly cost 10-20 yuan per day. The accommodation not only provide a comfortable bed, and providing a self-Mix to exchange, the opportunity to travel together, feeling very good. Our favorite is the Halfway, Zhongdian and Deqin travelers home.
OK: We have chartered this to mainly the one hand, the tight schedule, on the one hand many people. Another advantage is chartered at any time stop and look at the scenery. From Lijiang - Lugu Lake, Lijiang - bridge, bridge - Zhongdian, Zhongdian - Deqin, Zhongdian - Dali had the bus, the time more than you can sit. General feeling of our trip more compact, and now in Yunnan in the roads, delayed us some time (for example, Bita did not go). If a place can be improved, in the way a good case, De Qinmei Lane should be completed in two days. In addition, the first day of the tiger jumped on foot can go to Tina's stop, so the next day can take an early start to Zhongdian, you can give a lift to the Bita Lake. Dali is the motor that day.
Tour: This trip is the greatest feeling of beauty on the road. The scenery is often the way to the surprise and shock us more, and some spots but did not give us imagine surprise. So to remind you when the car is better not to sleep too much. In addition, tourism development in Yunnan is now fast, high cost of attractions, giving us feelings inconsistent with the local consumption. If so few people suggested a look at online fare-beating methods other Raiders.
Cost: not to ticket charges, each of us the cost of this trip in the 2,500-3,000 yuan. Because it is a long holiday, but also full chartered at a cost of some expensive. The main cost of transport (1000 or so) and tickets (800 or so), accommodation and eating relatively small.
Back to Shenzhen, haunted the hearts of the beautiful snow-covered plateau, recall that 12 days of the trip, feeling very rich. Although the time we left in Shenzhen, we do not have a set itinerary to the adoption of constant communication, inquiry, to explore and eventually have a near-perfect journey. Now our feelings and a passer-by to share the hope that we can properly appreciate the Caiyunzhinan charm.
