Lijiang is free young, many of the bars, strangers randomly young people here happy with the exchange of information and organization to Tiger Leaping Gorge walking groups. In the hotel's walls (especially the International Youth Hostel) plastered with travel note inviting. I was in one called "A COOL" bar found a companion.
Wood less is Lijiang celebrity (according to his own and my own observation), Shenyang people, and my general age, like ordinary northerners like the tall stocky, has made reporters, photographers, advertising planning. According to him a year ago, he says that he cheated to Lijiang, but the immediate recognition from the bottom of my heart and stayed in Lijiang. Wood and less in the ancient city opened two bars, one is "the color of the wind," one is "A COOL", I CHERRY is in "A COOL" met his eye liner in order to find him.
In the ancient city of Lijiang, where noisy sloshing of the three days and I decided it was time left for CHERRY Tiger Leaping Gorge has. However Wolia the note posted in a few hotels failed to bring about a suitable companion. May 3 morning I made a sign saying "companions are invited to ... ..." In the bustling crowd sat stone bridge for an hour and still no one responded. Disappointed Woliang lunch on the way through "A COOL", they caught sight of "HIKING TIGER LEAPING GORGE (Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot)" the words, casually asked a surprise that there are four starting tomorrow, on foot. Less wood there, a slap, and that he had to bring four people on a good foot first, then go to Zhongdian Tiger Leaping Gorge, and our plans.
4, starting the morning before sitting a little bread to go under the tiger jumped crossing. Toss in the car for two hours, and finally to the ferry, we all familiar with each other. In addition to a small wood and I CHERRY, there is Hangzhou, the past lover adun (sorry, can not find the heart next to the vertical DUN), and A Qing, Los Angeles to the nephew and uncle JOHN and BING (Chinese), we congenial temperament, consumer attitudes are also similar to
Down to the ferry boat across the river, bags of horse pack luggage, we began to climb along the mountain road on the road. The two sides are mountains, below, the roaring of the Jinsha River, people like living in the movie scenes, but unfortunately not enough in the hands of wide-angle camera could not capture this magnificent scenery. JOHN pestle with Trekking Pole is making life difficult for him, 50 years of age. A Qing Buxing Le, Ma pack finished only Zaiqu pack her luggage. Wood was indeed a small person who walked five times Tiger Leaping Gorge, and soon the ceiling, followed behind me and CHERRY. CHERRY long-term campaign indeed effective, the former 400-meter run is tired of her further than I halo faster.
We re-set is completed, and then ride the tiger to jump. Along the way disgraced. In the mid-tiger jumped at the famous TINA'S HOUSE unload baggage, immediately proceed to the famous Chang Natiao development of teachers and their families under the Gap at the end of the trail to see tiger jumped stone, but also the way of the cliffs, hardships, frightened. Eventually in the end, only wooden less adun, BING and me. Scenery are all on the road. 3 hours re-up, A Qing, and JOHN riding Zuojiao, wood little guffaw This is a private tour, his life no.
Everyone ate the most delicious bowl of egg noodles and continue to proceed to the destination HALF WAY HOTEL. Is already a fast 7:00, and the world for the fish, was at the cliff Zouye Lu. Private tour is a private tour, rented three horses, a pack luggage, so they can pack horse people (A Qing and JOHN). Peng Zhao is also a way to people coming from the HALF WAY, Zouye Lu's appears to be minimal. Rained and the road is not slippery, but fortunately, the weather is also still bright side is a vertical cliff, one side is the abyss. We move very quickly, one could hear bells Qingxiang horses. Wood and less in front of the cries from time to time, it appears he was very excited to go. Gradually the sky dark, JOHN, and BING prepared headlights came in handy, my flashlight while the point of soil, but also quite useful. Very impressed with the mountain behind the Qian Ma, wearing shoes and going easy, and we are all one by one Dengshan Xue, cautiously.
9:30 to HALFWAY, we feel relaxed and began shouting to kill chickens, to hot water, to have a massage. Into HALFWAY HOTEL, which voices of young people in the world. We are able to communicate with random, they come from all corners. Chicken is no longer there, two more than Heaven, eaten, hot water bath and the water not hot, let alone a massage. But the special feeling happy, few people chatting around the dinner table, next to several gweilo holding guitar sing. I pinned Zhang business cards under the stairs in the hotel do not know whether when you go to see. JOHN, BING and wood, and a little girl in Shenzhen to chatting on the result, private tour escalated into corruption by this girl group.
Hasty sleep a night, up in fine weather. HALFWAY toilets in the face of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is really a good scenery.
Proceeding toward the tiger jumped on the walk all the way scenery as good as yesterday, but rich in changes, getting a lot of pictures. From time to time and we ran into the road in the same direction and in the opposite direction. Wood is always to pick up his little mantra anyone to "good life" and "summer fun." I really like this free and friendly atmosphere, the enthusiasm of a stranger can easily communicate. Many Ghosts, are two of three individuals, carrying a backpack, hand-drawn map of their hands Zhang, Hang Chi's walk.
We have to go to the famous 28 Shui. If you jump from the tiger in the tiger jumped, it was a tough uphill, and we go in the opposite direction, it seems wise, but we have to go first long ascent to the top of a further 28 Shui Po go . Road is difficult to walk, all uphill, tired unbearable, yesterday jumped in the pick of a tiger is very useful Zhu Zhang, He and CHERRY discussion when almost despairing when we arrived. We sat in the cliff side of a platform resting on the hair, cell phones are also actually have a signal, according to Nye lived excited to a friend send text messages to share my joy.
28 Shui down quickly, when we arrived NAXI FAMILY HOTEL, our foot should end. To sit down and loose shoelaces, drinking tea and sharing a shop yesterday HALFWAY who are here to rest, they began to chat. To rest enough to re-start to the road or car to Zhongdian. Very easily to the road, we posed for pictures after the image of the left foot, grooms and horses have been entered. True forget this.
