March 11 to 17:30, I jumped on Kunming to Zhongdian, a long-distance sleeper cars, 12 Fortunately, the next morning arrived the bridgehead town of Zhongdian. Although driving in the fresh air of the wilderness, but because other people want to escape the chilly in March, bad windows open, the air naturally bad number. And this is the first time I have ever done sleeper car, I found myself early in more than eight hours sleep, and sleep is very stable in the mountain.
To wake up early as usual, yes, occasionally the opposite through to car lights, take a look at the table, less than 5:00, I have no sleep, sitting up next to the driver of a small chair. Soon cars crossed the Jianchuan county, I know this is not the road passing through Lijiang, vaguely remember something closer to the Jinsha River, I can through lights, look forward to is not to the Jinsha River. My destination on the river between the Pine Garden Bridge and Tiger Leaping Gorge, preceded by a long section of the road, has been accompanied by the Jinsha River meandering east coast trip.
Pine Garden Bridge to cross the Jinsha River in the West Bank, then to the territory of Zhongdian, Zhongdian County, has set the renamed Shangri-La, so this is my third time the year came to Shangri-La, the latter two, while each working on the reasons, but hard to travel power rush, obviously not entirely the work of the need, where and fantastic natural scenery and social customs, for I always have a special appeal. From the photographic point of view, but also in different seasons have different exciting to attract my camera.
However, this Shangri-La tour was arranged for late winter, I imagine might be the scene of the most boring season. Would have to come early in March, but also asked Zhongdian friends, that just down the snow, the mountains are the foot of the mountain snow, looking forward to the trip had been delayed to mid-March, Shenzhen every day the weather has been a hot-up, I am not the luxury Shangri-La's snow. Sure enough, in Kunming turn the car 23 hours, I deliberately went to the famous Green Lake Park, the winter seems to want to see gulls, but the taxi driver told me few days ago, see also, now days heat up, you may never see to the seagull, and I went, there really is no point Midao seagulls trail. Shangri-La's no snow, but the green of spring will still early, only to see the colorful memories of black and white version of the picture, and I think so.
Express 7:00 pm, the sky a little daybreak, and I have come to recognize that once traversed the Jinsha River section. Trance in the side of the road in deep white flashed by on the roadside trees are flowering plum tree? Yes, I remember the first time I came through here, there are a lot of fresh plums in the selling, it is clear how the signal of spring ah! A closer look, the roadside willow, garden trees just sprout leaves, even in the headlights is also a graceful light irradiation in the green! Also, river bank slopes on a Road, a dark film, it must be wheat fields, but from time to time a block of a clusters of light-colored, what is it? By the way, is a rape! Yes Enpa March Jiangnan Yan drunk rape! Thought in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River valley, in the earlier season, actually looked everywhere to see a lush south to prevent the rape!
Driving through Pine Garden Bridge, when the two sides of the fields green and yellow ladder sight is more clearly seen on the slopes higher place is sparse scattered farmhouses, hidden in the soft green, the center is also dotted with pale pink and white flowering fruit trees.
7:15 looks like, I have seen to be acting in their own factories, blowing in the morning under the color of the car. This is the next bridge on the boundary of the town of an autonomous region in Economic Development Zone Industrial Park, a few plants along the Jinsha River are lined up along the hillside going up, respectively, a Naxi village and the workers dormitory-rise buildings. The contacts do not work agreed in the factory, but fortunately I did not pack heavy and settled first, what does not need to see the east of the peaks of the mountains with snow on top of the sky has been more and more bright, though the whole valley is also Shen among the dark. I began to walk aimlessly along a path toward the hillside and a half. Naxi people's house is very beautiful, but the style of familiar, dark gray tile roof, gently warping, white cement and the like and then hook the contours of the lace, light lines, beautiful. Wall or gray or white, alternating with each other. Contrast with the surrounding wheat fields and rape, peach and Lee courtyard decorated with flowers, the sun must be a beautiful picture, I am grateful that so, "Yan Yu", and missed appointments each other's work gives me such a leisurely opportunity to taste Zhe Fan "Yan Yu"!
Yulong mountain east of the Department is so much taller and bigger, the sun should be at least another round into the valley more than an hour's time. This piece of hillside in the sun must be a gorgeous picture, but now, as a young girl is still very young, there is no were as pretty its stunning presence. A small moment I do not, shoot a few faint Yunxia mist falls in the hilltops and valleys, they walked towards riverside, waterside willow that several of the new Green Road, in the faint mist of vague.
Moderating to the river flowing, summer, when it is muddy brown, and now, but it is a warm emerald green, this ten kilometers to the Tiger Leaping Gorge, who can imagine that this piece of South Avon-like water, will blink of an eye into the surging rapids? This is the only road between Lijiang and Zhongdian, but the vice versa of tourists, mostly hastily passing, who have thoughts to note that the organic Jinsha River water so gentle side?
Coagulation may be precisely because of the river green hue, the reflection of willow is less clear that the deepest valley where the light is also not enough for the dark, I turn around and Seibo, has been put on top of a mountain the sun had Jincan!
The factory is still no one has, naturally, I would not mind, the road began to shun the other climbers. Shadow line of light on a little bit down the mountain move, I slowly climb up. Finally, join me and the sun in the rape of the Mid-slope everywhere.
Twenty years ago in eastern China to study, pairs of spring rape in Anhui, leaving a beautiful impression. After school, work, and actually never a chance to get to see rape. This is like photography, like the pastoral scenes of me, I do not know how incredible regret. Not thought, in that the edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the other side of the Yangtse only had the opportunity to close the rape, may not have the open countryside south, but the potential is more lush wins in the flower, the color is more pure, at least, the sun is unparalleled beautiful! Also, that patchwork of residential areas, Koshiro and white flower tree, as well as the green wheat fields, all of this, then clearly more than the south of the rape scene in a chic charm!
Well, take advantage of the valley below and even Napian residential or dark blue colors, pay close attention to rape in the lens to capture the wonderful. On a location, surrounded by turn a bit, I pressed the shutter 78 times.
Along the ridge, chasing light, I once again towards River, in the edge of a rape, a Naxi middle-aged woman with a red wool hat, carrying a bamboo basket, vigorous step downhill, I lost no time, snap down, later, she found me with a smile I do not understand the words of a few, I guess is that this took a good look, worthy of photographic meaning.
When walking along the road, just over a coach, the car was written the words from Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge. Man cars are filled with excitement when approaching a tourist destination. There are several people look at my city, people dressed up in the early morning walk in a desolate valley, exposing surprised expression. I think some of those visitors did not notice, or will not appreciate this Spring in the valley, here is so natural, the surface looks too unusual, is not aware of certain do not see an unusual beauty. As Tiger Leaping Gorge as the famous scenery, there are regular scenic door, there are a lot of money in ticket prices, but also with the parking lots, hotels, tourist souvenir shops, down to the riverside road is also revised new concrete steps. Even that picture of Tiger Leaping Gorge is also illustrated on television must have been seen many times, perhaps it is the only the eyes of many visitors the scenery. However, where the next stop, and even their eyes and gently sweep again this beautiful valley in the spring, the eyes of the joy, the joy of body and mind, and even the joy of the lens, can do no more pure and chic?
Moreover, in this mid-season arrival in March, the North is still a desolate, is also not enough for you as early as the southern spring, in this wild and with boundless as the main style of the plateau, can taste so rich and airy breath of spring, the What a different kind of surprise ah!
Let's just let the coach did not hesitate to sail Tiger Leaping Gorge, I am still alone in this unknown place to approached the Jinsha River. Perhaps the river is quiet spit of water vapor under the sun is so bright and the river scenery is still not, but enough to enjoy the river, river willow, tree of the wheat fields, Tanabe villages, after the mountain village of various levels of green ... ...
10 points to minutes, as the cloud gathered a lot of the valley plain colors. Work contacts are also come from 100 kilometers away Zhongdian. 15:00 busy with many much more smoothly than expected to get things done. I decided to went to Zhongdian, the next morning to fly back to Kunming. Originally, went to Lijiang to switch planes or cars closer to more convenient, but they're really want to see Shangri-La in the early spring (now no longer like a conclusion here, at home, or in late winter).
A run-down of CMB, with two and a half hours brought me to Zhongdian, the way the landscape has walked four times, as a relatively familiar. Through a big mountain, walked around the small Zhongdian, hue on the imagination of the sallow is basically the khaki-colored, it really was the black and white version of those colorful pictures, but Pakistan could not stop for me, I just with your eyes open, and then the camera does not explain it.
Zhongdian hilltop surrounded by mountains, some snow, especially in the west of the mountains, snow-capped mountains some of the flavor is more full. But the best time to enjoy the morning, the sun just exposure to the summit when the snow. I understood this is so me, at least not let me pass Zhongdian hard. Can take the next morning if the aircraft or coach, may not have the opportunity to leisurely morning mountain photography. Inquire about a hotel stay there because it was low season for tourism, high-speed station wagon two days of class the next day, just not, airplanes, it is only 15 o'clock a group of more than crossing the road. Sake of God also seems to me that the idea at work can also be referred to again further.
Just living in the east of a new hotel, Seibo mountains, angles and better. The next morning, the sky thick with clouds rolling, but the west side of snow-capped mountains along the clear blue sky over the east of the sun also appears to have been fighting broke out of clouds. I went to hotel rooftop camera plans have been responsible for blocking the Tibetan lady attendant, then climb the east slope. In fact, where snow-capped mountains visible in the morphology is far from the main peak Yulong Merrill or so handsome, near the cities because of the lack of the kind of magic atmosphere, but the clouds over the peaks are quite a few subtle, there also happen to have around for a while dazzling shop in the peaks above the light so that I frequently press the shutter ... ...
Early to the airport, to a front row seat by the window. Also a good taste in the air, snow-capped mountains, and even the embrace of Yulong peak in the clouds is also exposed to me the next handsome face. However, I would also like to see is the Jinsha River is frightened fans Spring ... ...
