March 28 Lijiang - Large with (Tiger Leaping Gorge) Warrington, with occasional hail, rain
98 km total 2501 kilometers
7 am, cars had been parked in the ancient city of Lijiang, the water near the vehicle's Main Street East, today, not many people go to only one beard and two Japanese natives. If you follow the road to Zhongdian Tiger Leaping Gorge, you can also take the opportunity to go to the first Bay Shek Kwu and the Yangtze River. cat, and I am ready to walk across the whole of the post-Tiger Leaping Gorge, Zhongdian, choose to go big with this path, do not want to turn back, but it must be saddled with all of our luggage.
7:30 time out, with 10:30 minutes you can reach the large township stations in Tiger Leaping Gorge Hotel.
Driver to persuade us to ride to the ferry: "car to ferry it, each of 10 money, 20 minutes to walk to go to 2 hours."
From Lijiang to large with 98 km 3 hours away before 23.5, to ferry have to 10 yuan, I decided to go and ask, looking at cat, she was a: "go!" We have to set foot on her own luggage to the new crossing trail, the new Tiger Leaping Gorge ferry directly to the next. Beard has long gone, leaving my cat walking on a lonely road, entrance to the village there are several dogs in the sun, walked Ji Shibu, the other dogs are all gone, except a black dog suddenly suddenly after the pre - The follow us, to give it food or not, is not known.
cat little scared: "Do not say anything of the Goucai bite, you and behind me and watched it, do not let it bite me."
Later, there is a dog used to follow to see if it is also not malicious, they begin to tease, one funny and it also gives it a name from 'tigers'. Tigers and sometimes go very far, but also that it is no longer with us but it does a little sense of loss.
cat also complained: "Do not say hello and then left."
I deliberately said: "I do not have an opportunity of talking in the back of the."
The original Tigers had gone too far in front waiting for us, and sometimes we go too slowly, tigers will be running back and our convergence, and sometimes have gone to Canyon side to see if we do not go together with them back with us.
We began to familiar with ups and downs together as travel partners, but it is strange that the Tigers are always with us, today's visitors come not just us呀?
In a corner of the intersection, and Little Tiger stood motionless, I find it strange you look closely, where tigers station next to a stone, stone, someone painted 'ferry' word, and painted an arrow, but since the Japanese sun and rain, is not very clear, and there are weeds, if not the Tigers refused to go stand there, I would not have noticed the signs.
Suddenly an idea flashed across my mind: "Tigers in the lead the way to us."
cat have also seen signs of it: "Be sure that it follows the way we want to point out that these signs for us."
I began to not believe, to lay down their heavy luggage, followed by Tigers walked a few stones, he saw behind the stone jugs and created a few small signs that this may be a shortcut. We have decided to follow the tigers go, indeed, walked the path next to the tiger and rock emerging yellow arrow, we are more determined to follow the tigers away.
Quickly climbed the hill, seen from above, climb around this cul de sac at a period of winding roads, save a lot of time. We are really excited, and the bag are delicious with the tigers out to share more love with a puppy is only spiritual. After the Tigers continue to take us away some paths, but sometimes it will bring us into the canyon edge, that I think of it, why did not go away on the stand Canyon, if the flip over the gorge, it will last a long way, but the simply no way down the canyon. I Tigers, said: "You can go on, I do not want rolling valleys." Had to turn back.
So often interspersed paths, walked back road in the road when you are not sure whether the correct way to go for three hours, we began to wonder whether it has taken the wrong road, the driver said that as long as 2 hours to go呀. For a long time failed to see the signs Does the wrong way? Along the way a person has not recently seen a person is also a two and a half hours ago, things. At this time, the sky suddenly it began to rain, but also mixed with a snowball, the situation is too bad, and in the light of the wilderness on the Dodo no place to hide. We immediately took out a rain gear from the luggage, but first and foremost to protect not themselves, but baggage, luggage get wet if so, the already heavy luggage will be more add to the burden. Have to continue to walk in the rain, tigers do not abandon us, although the rain get wet, or very firm to go with us.
I am comforted cat said: "We should not be taken the wrong road, we might well just a little more slowly."
"But that does not mean so much slower呀!"
She has started to fatigue, which can not blame her, a girl carrying a few pounds of luggage on the plateau to walk, I feel waves of fatigue and frustration come to me to drop it, so I constantly have to give up the idea. But the Tigers seemed to have no worries, it has come far from turning in wait for us, when the come to the corner saw the yellow signs to prove that there is no wrong way, when the rain has stopped. We stopped to rest a moment, tigers shake off the water, continue to the road, our confidence is back, on her own luggage moving forward. In turning a corner, finally selling tickets to see the small ferry house, went to the house before a watch, a share of 4 hours. We put down luggage, what a good interest rate.
I asked Aunt sell tickets: "do not mean that a two-hour walk? Can we go 4 hours, can we go so slow?"
Aunt to point to our package on the ground: "walking two hours, means the absence of luggage Qingshenjianfei Sheung, like you carrying such a heavy baggage, which is not slow. Why not ride it?"
cat touched the tiger said: "The car would not have encountered a tiger."
"Yes, gains will lose, God is fair." I also think that experience hard to come by.
"You have to travel further with Goua?" Aunt strange question.
cat said to me: "We bring together Tigers Sheung it."
I am astonished: "bring it on in Tibet?" Think about it and the Tigers do not want to separate the "if it is with us, we together with Sheung."
"You go on from that, the ticket to the boatman, they will take you past."
Only then did I thought went cliff take a look at the Jinsha River on a few hundred meters below the bottom, the two sides of mountains sandwiched pour straight endless river, but both sides of the canyon just over 100 meters of the distance, magnificent, encroaching upon the present, people feel the splendor of nature.
"That is the next Tiger Leaping Gorge, you continue to see more clearly, you can also shout a cry that echoes, and a pity that 96 years, a large earthquake collapsed the original two sides closer and more spectacular." Aunt pointing to Tiger Leaping Gorge introduced to.
Left side of the Yulong Snow Mountain is winding down, to cross the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge to be down to the ferry, crossing the Jinsha River by boat and then climb the same height to the Haba Snow Mountain on the road side.
We only have back luggage, and the Tigers down the canyon and saw a stone surface of the river out to the Haba Snow Mountain, Tiger is the jump from the past, toward the Jinsha River cried out: "Tiger Leaping Gorge, we Laila!" Echo in the surface of the river The valleys echoed, people relaxed and happy. We are not tigers, dancing is not the past, only went to the bottom boat. Down to the bottom is also used for 45 minutes, the final 10 meters of the most steep, Tigers no longer go on, but let us hold it, standing on the last stone hum Zhijiao watching us, and we are also on board looked at it, but that approach did not, that only the difference, and my heart feel so sad that it has and we share weal and woe. We waved to the other Tigers, the ship slowly left the shore, until we reach the other side of the Tigers are still watching us.
More difficult to walk across the road up the mountain, the next valley road or someone to open it, more flat side is simply not the way people walk is that some goats out of the path. Pavement often only 30 centimeters wide, next to the abyss and see much more, but do not fear, there is so tired want to live, and really wanted to put luggage dropped the Jinsha River. There is also a mountain cave, and hobble around with a piece of wood, wood Here is surging Jinsha River, and no handrails on both sides, the wind is still blowing in the valley swing, I really worry that a thin wood can withstand got our body and luggage weight. Fortunately, only a few meters, one to go over them, looked back and is really very dangerous. Walking uphill on the way, do not look up the road in the hillside, looking up only to see more than 5000 meters peaks, saw they did not have the confidence to go to, and only bowed his head go, if you see a cliff again fear, then you simply should not have to.
2 hours and finally climbed up the roads, I really have is a climb up to, and in some places too steep, you must use only climbable legs Qi. We sat on the road straight pant, water has long been finished, and throat straight smoke. Carrying heavy luggage onto and down nearly seven hours, it is necessary in order for Xie Yixia good physical recovery, but fortunately a very good side of the road to go. Then it found out that my backpack has been saddled with exertion, has torn a mouth.
To the toll booth, toll collectors even used the Japanese and talk to us, we naturally responded in Japanese, spoke a few words, would say that the Japanese have run out, and switch to English, no problem as toll collectors. Suddenly I thought, are we tired, silly, and why a foreign language conversation, we go back to their mother tongue. Toll collectors was surprised told us: "You will say even the Chinese."
"We are Chinese, came to be." I and the cat said with pride.
"Simple, but also carrying so much baggage, I began to thought it was a foreigner, to walk through Tiger Leaping Gorge, the majority are foreigners, so here are all signs written in English, with no one in Chinese." See the roadside signs, my heart what has been stung: "in order to later Chinese people will be more."
"Now the past has also increased."
Question toll collectors to take water to drink, see the table of the French language books, turn to my surprise, asked him: "French you will?"
Toll collectors said laughingly: "to many foreigners, and selling tickets sit idle, casually learn a science."
cat even dare to talk to him in French, immediately correct pronunciation was not allowed to, it seems that he did not learn a little casual.
Finally to the TINA'S GUEST HOUSE, TINA came grabbed our bags and take us into the hotel.
"Tired of the bar, quick sit down, I'll give you to the tea." TINA warmly received us.
One into the hotel is a hall, visitors can be in the chat room on both sides. Side of the hall by Canyon is a 180-degree panoramic windows, the window there are tables and chairs, you can sit watching King Ping Chuang, hotels, so we sat inside the visitors the best position, pointing out the window: "All of the are the values of hard. "
According to the last line the sun afterglow peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the opposite side, one will be reflected the golden light, snow-capped mountains as the king wearing a crown, one will be reflected with colorful Hongxia, snow-capped mountains to raging like a volcano eruption, volatile . All this is so near, I can hand on the glass to her sense of touch. Canyon is really too close, I lie on the window, eyes everywhere is the beauty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, in the eyes can no longer fit into anything. Sides towering snow-capped mountains stand upright, gripping Jiang Liu, Xuefeng, such as a sword stab days, mountainside rocks rugged, ferocious terror, the foot-line the river rise steeply. On the evening can also be looked at on the Long days, listening to the waves of the river valley sound sleep, life is a joy to use.
TINA also burned at night so that we bathe in water, a very special way, people standing inside the bathroom, TINA pour on the roof, ask you cold or hot, you're shouting in the following, good hot ah, cold ah, TINA on heating water or mountain spring water, all the services manually, good fun, we must try.
March 28 Tiger Leaping Gorge, sunny morning, up, physically and magically restored, and his feet actually did not hurt yesterday, but as tired as the filling of lead.
The shop is home to three ethnic Chinese girl from Malaysia and Singapore, two of which, or the twins: "We are from Vietnam to Cambodia and then to Thailand, from Jinghong in Yunnan Province in China, all the way to go and went on to Singapore and the girl, on the Go along with the next stop, Zhongdian, Shangri it. "
The rest come from a small group of Shenzhen, there is a very special name - surging. "Your legs hurt? I came yesterday from the bridge, to the legs so painful that Buxing Le, all wonder if we can go jump in the tiger."
We are sharing with their travel experience, when they heard the tiger's adventures are fairly good.
"Tiger jump is the most beautiful in the afternoon, the sun slanting manner according to the canyon bottom." TINA introduced to.
Three girls, has embarked on a behind the Half way. cat just want to enjoy the beauty of sitting in the window, I subsequently climbed Half way of the mountain. Half way to the starting point on TINA'S GUEST HOUSE, is why some people and goats out of the mountain, but all signs along the way, it is easy to find, but they are in English. Go for a while, go back a look, TINA small hotel like a matchbox resting on the foot. Going up, actually it was at such a high mountain slopes cultivated land, but also enthusiastically cheer me, though out are 12 square meters of land, but from his smile can feel the kind of dedicated enthusiasm for life. Beyond it, you do not see people, and only a few lightly grazing goats, about these goats will be their home at night to see if they live quite free, more happy than people. Standing on a higher place to see Tiger Leaping Gorge, only to see him bend along the right and wrong, valleys momentum straight clouds.
Backtrack to the hotel, cat saw me gave me a packet of tobacco: "Hello to the things that you guess what is it?"
I have both hands up on the smell to it that special flavor: "marijuana."
"You guess how one would guess." Emotion and staring eyes surprised looked at me, he must have thought I was addicted. In fact, marijuana itself is a traditional Chinese medicine, there have been growing in Yunnan it is simply an abuse of drugs.
"Come on, try this." They are two really can not test, so I come back on the test, a good roll of tobacco, an ignition.
"How is there any feeling of floating up." Emotion and looked at me curiously asked.
I tried several times, do not feel anything, it greatly absorption of a to see the surging that surprised look, he must have recognized I was a veteran of the. In fact, the first time I tasted it: "What feelings do not have more than Sharon, but also light, that is quite fragrant."
See the new hotel's ghost girl pits them only professional, put cigarettes out tobacco slowly buckle, and a hemp silk blend, and then plug back in cigarettes. Seemed very much enjoy to see her look, we ask: "what feeling?"
"Free!"
Haha, I did not feel anything but a waste of a good thing TINA.
"How down the Tiger Leaping Gorge?" We asked TINA.
"Originally there is no way under the Tiger Leaping Gorge is a teacher's house Xiu Yang a mountain, the general people are looking for him to lead the way, 10 yuan per person to be grateful for their repair of this road. Because they are not very well go look for themselves in general no. Young teacher's house in the following. "
TINA'S GUEST HOUSE in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, but it depends on the best scenic canyon at the end is coming in person to feel.
Surging leg did not resume, and only regret that cat looked at me and walked down the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Along the highway, a short distance away is the teacher's house Yang, Yang Yang a very many teachers of small animals, sheep, chickens rabbits everything, Do not look at their simple-minded, walked up and down and I cat pursuit and interception, no touch a hair . Young teachers are not at home, his wife took us to.
"It's little difficult to walk the road every year floods will wash away some sections, and we must rebuild a can of Tiger Leaping Gorge, visitors can see the real happy, we think there is no event is wasted." She explained while walking.
"Why here is the real Tiger Leaping Gorge?" I asked.
"You're going to see that problem, I I will not speak, you have to jump from the next tiger, that is true, but the tiger jumped on the former bombing rocks rolling down hill to take a piece of stone, due to close roads, on the development to let many people travel to visit. ye travel, people will come here to see the real Tiger Leaping Gorge, you come up with tickets to see the know, the above photo is in the following film, the original photographer or are we at home Young Teacher they brought. "Yang Penn-very talkative, pointing to the plants and trees here are Nengjiang Chu stories.
"Tiger really do jump in the past?" Cat curiously asked.
"In the past it was seen in the side of the Yulong Snow Mountain tiger footprints, as well as to eat the rest of the animal carcasses, no one saw the tiger. But the tiger's side have only Haba Snow Mountain, Yulong there is no Tiger. Some people think Tiger is a jump from here across to find food, went back to sleep here. both sides of the valley could have been close to, but here is an earthquake zone, the earthquake collapsed in many areas over the years. 96 years of that field so that the next major earthquake tiger tiger jumping and dancing all collapsed in a large, not so good-looking in. do not come, may never see啦! "Yang Penn-laugh to.
Down the canyon road is a hard go, there are several to do with the wire wrapped around a tree climbing Fu, easy to slide into place to further pave the way a number of stones, it seems Young teacher's house so much is that road repair work. In turn a valley, the Tiger Leaping Gorge appeared in front of two rocks stand at the sides, as if the two giants to rival bimodal Bingzhi, such as the door slightly open, to see just a sewing days, like cliffs of top .
"Went to the bottom to the point of view, more felt the momentum." Yang Penn-pointing at the bottom said: "You see the person standing boulders below it? Rainy season, when Yan Guo, water potential is more ferocious, but the yellow river, no now looks better. "
We went to the bottom, really felt the Tiger Leaping Gorge insurance, river in many places there are two sides of a precipice falling boulders, forming reefs such as the forest runs through the river, the river will be in the rock to even a few big jump over a one-Jiang Jun, ground tilt monsters really can be described as shaking, ZZZZZZZZZ, its extremely dangerous. 3,900 m of elevation difference, far more than the world's first known as the Grand Canyon. Half way up the morning to see her ambitious, and now so close to embody her insurance, if I select that one more representative of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, I think it is dispensable, and only two have seen can be felt.
Tip:
In fact, there is a walk method, starting from the next tiger jumped across, can be Hetaoyuan one night, the next day invited a guide down the canyon, after a thin strip of sky to the Gap, look up and walked TINA'S GUEST HOUSE, there is strength, then Half way hotel on the straight and then to live on the third day came 28 hooked on the tiger jumped out of stone bridge. However, a great strain, do not bring too much luggage, we go straight on the Yunnan-Tibet line in Tibet, do not want to go back to Lijiang was carrying his luggage on foot.
Rainy season, the surging water potential is more ferocious, more imposing, but the Yellow river, did not look good now, but there are many landslides, some roads can no longer walk.
