Yulong Snow Mountain
January 28, Location: Lijiang, Weather: sunny and beautiful
1. Go to Lijiang by car all the way en route from Dali to Lijiang will be able to northwest along the way has always been the mountain, a little dangerous, but there is also a mountain, the flip over the three mountains to go. Generally speaking, however, still have been climbing, as more and more above sea level, and reach Lijiang about 2,400 meters above sea level. Because it is Zouye Lu mountain, we all a little anxious, I was sitting by the window looking out the window is even more afraid of the big mountains, so on and chatting with the driver. Driver is married Han Chinese in Lijiang to go home in Lijiang Adange opened a restaurant opposite the hotel, called meta-Tengchong, he said that this restaurant is also a monthly income of more than 3,000 less profit, it seems the situation at home or good. He also told us of Lijiang is a matriarchal society, a man's life is "literature, tea, tobacco and alcohol," seven things love. However, the money must be handed over to his wife for the custody of their own pocket money can only have a few. Also Goucan's. Well-known from the Jinsha River and Lancang River Lijiang across the territory, hence the name Lijiang.
Along the way the driver told me that next to a mountain called the Peak, we are the way to go mountain is not very flat, but we take the Lexus limousine, it is quite stable, but are really too many detours along the way, I saw the driver continually hit the steering wheel while turning left, turning right moment, I can not help a bit worried, but the driver told me that this is a new road built, the original old road leading to Lijiang, one kilometer to more than 70 bends Po, and threaten one of our enjoyed.
Car driving music, but almost all of them have been asleep, but probably really tired these days, and only the driver sitting behind me and sat next to the driver who was not asleep, but I feel asleep the voices of people snoring is also a quite a shock. The two of us have been in and chatting with the driver is drowsy, he feared the driver was obviously very worried, we have been saying "We do not hurry safety first, safety first." Sky growing dark, a moment into the county seat for a while and entered a big mountain in the time walking in the mountains can see bits and pieces around the village, the driver said that these villages are relatively good, because, after all, talked over the road also access to electricity, and a place in northwest Yunnan, China is now the poorest areas, where no roads and no electricity. It seems "If we want rich, first build roads," I'm not exaggerating. Along the way I see most is that China Mobile Communications Corporation to do the advertising, there are many to remind you to attach importance to education slogans, the better we see the driver said to the school house. We are all the way north and west, increasing latitude, elevation is also getting higher and higher, so it feels more and more cold; this road is really wide enough for the busy enough, we drove all the way across the open face is always a car coming. Getting higher and higher above sea level, and I feel I am just from the sky, closer, and I think they looked at the stars in the sky so clear. We have followed the road signs along the route that says there are 100 kilometers away from Lijiang; 70 km; 20 km; 5 km ... ... we are sometimes dark, sometimes bright light of the road has finally become more and more. At this time we have entered the city of Lijiang, and the darkness of Lijiang is also a very beautiful city, the street lights flashing, lined the road on both sides-star hotel, the driver told us that an official in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, the first room Grand Hotel is a five-star hotel I think that it is no wonder that Phoenix Satellite TV prime-time advertising it. Lijiang in 1996 experienced a major 7.1 magnitude earthquake, when the central government and the country are very concerned about the donations from around as much as more than 70 million, Lijiang therefore been re-building, we have seen are Lijiang Town. Later, the ancient city of Lijiang and Pingyao in Shanxi Province as World Heritage by the United Nations to immediately attract tourists around the world, so great efforts to develop tourism, the construction of a lot of hotels and guesthouses.
We have finally reached the three-star hotel where he stayed LITE hotel, this hotel is the best of our entire Yunnan Tourism hotel, I think it and a lot of big cities, almost four-star hotel. Enter the hotel after that I really was a bit of altitude sickness - headaches, Lijiang Naxi local guide to remind us to be posted tomorrow, snow-capped mountains, should pay attention to sun, when there is more than the plateau response time to sugar. Another snow-capped mountains above the temperatures are low this season is only 0-5 degrees Celsius, cold prepared to do well.
So I went back to the room immediately after the snow-capped mountains to prepare for tomorrow's board after a rest, because it came to the plateau region should pay special attention to rest, fatigue, altitude sickness will increase Besides, these days playing I have also had enough fatigue.
2. Deng snow-capped mountains before the next morning I rise early to eat breakfast, breakfast is a self-help is also very rich, yes, after I came to Yunnan, the best meal to eat, I pay special attention to a number of sweet things to eat. After Beijing I will bring almost all wear underwear, and bring down jacket, scarf, hat, with a pack of chocolate, rubbing the Clinique SPF15 sunscreen, sun protection should be very good, carrying cameras, ready to board a snow-capped mountains. Obviously we are very excited to see me feel funny, say that I am exaggerating, I should not care anyway, because I was already a little altitude sickness, and if then the cold will be even worse, tour guides and drivers have told me little response was also normal, if not careful there will be more responsive and even after the return to plains are still uncomfortable, such as fever and vomiting, etc., these are all caused by altitude sickness. Driver also told me that they had those people living in the highlands to the plain, there will be less of the original response, the most obvious is the nosebleeds because of the low pressure zone of the original low, nose inside the capillaries is very thin, it felt a greater pressure , so it is easy to nosebleeds.
In the car on the way to the Yulong Snow Mountain, tour guides explained to us a lot of Lijiang Naxi local folklore and history and so on. Ancient Naxi kingdom, human beings have lived there since time immemorial. Today's Naxi people, it is the descendants of the ancient Qiang people migrated to the south, where they were 2000 years ago, moved here in the West Corridor. Current population of more than 278,000 Naxi, Yunnan 26.5 thousand people. Unique to the Naxi people in Yunnan, mainly people living in Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, Ninglang, Yongsheng, Weixi, Zhongdian, Deqin and Yanyuan in Sichuan Province, salt side, Wood Lane and other counties also have a small amount of the distribution. Naxi ancient nomads and China there are connections between Diqiang branches. Its claims known as "Na", "Naxi", "Moso" and so on. As early as the Naxi people, more than a thousand years ago created a world-renowned and the use of hieroglyphic writing hieroglyphic Dongba classics. Spread so far the "Dongba" classic, recorded in ancient Naxi social production and all aspects of life. "Dongba" culture and the study of comparative philology and cultural history of mankind and others have a high academic value. Naxi attaches great importance to the advanced culture of other nations to accept today can still be from the Naxi architecture, music, murals, etc. to see it with the Han, Tibetan, Bai and cultural characteristics of mutual integration. Lijiang Mu's in 1254 AD the ancestors of allegiance to Kublai Khan, in the ancient city of Dan set up three government officials who control their organizational belonging Tea Han Zhang Min Guan officer, AD 1276, replaced by soldiers and civilians Lijiang Road, Explorer House, AD 1382, Anju know pass the state were to pledge allegiance A A A Ming dynasty, soldiers and civilians located in Lijiang Prefecture, A A A had been the emperor emperor Cixing wood and labeled hereditary prefect. Old Town of Lijiang, Lijiang military and civilian government (wood House), the construction of unique and great momentum, Wood's family was also political, economic and symbolic power. This is the Naxi Ren was respectfully called the "wood old gentleman." Therefore, the names of the Naxi later is an officer on the wood, and wood master civilians also played a surname is a write-in wood above the house, "Wo," so named Wo on all of the people of the Naxi .
Naxi to fat for the United States, so called girls are "catty fat girl," the boys are "fat pounds Brother", if it is too skinny boys and girls can only be described as "half a jin meat" of the.
Their clothing is also very characteristic, women dress behind a sheep to do what the shape of frog belly and above there is the Big Dipper, the moon and the sun because it is the matriarchal society, women should be full day's work, and therefore known as daytime in order to style women's hard-working. Many older women are also married to a little after the Naxi Naxi women in the back of the sheep are real, but Some of them are nothing but that is more than 20 years old, because all year round in the highlands of the sun, their skin looked very dark very hoarse, coupled with annual labor just like the old lady in general, and this is one of Yunnan, 18 Strange, "the girl like a 20 Granny."
Naxi sparsely populated and their strange "customs" - sentimentalism is also very relevant. Naxi Ren has a strange "sentimentalism" customs. Almost every Naxi homes that families can count their family members had one or two relatives died for sentimentalism. They are entangled in order to escape the love events, to avoid the unfortunate marriage, and many choose to end the unfortunate suicide. However, they definitely will not choose any one, such as hanging, Tiaoya, drowning and other "sudden death" approach, but very quietly into another world.
Naxi this "sentimentalism" was considered an outsider to make it difficult to understand the glory. Here, sentimentalism is not a shame, it is a kind of lying in a pair of flowers, drinking the dew, Mu the moonlight, calm beauty of death. To make these dead souls of airflow smoothly into the kingdom of heaven, civil circulating a "Hailalike" Dongba religion is the "festival style" ceremony, intended to open the door to heaven to make these romantic souls into his heavenly kingdom. There are many legendary stories of widespread, such as the famous "long-life gold Chuan Kang America" is about the ancient story of a pair of sentimentalism. This story became a "festival style" ceremony, the Dongba a prelude to their singing. Yun Shanping under the Yulong Snow Mountain has been called the Naxi Ren ideal "Yulong third country" is considered very holy place. There is a kind of red beans toxic, many men and women are taking the sentimentalism of the. Thus, it has become quite romantic young men and women of "sentimentalism" ideal kingdom of heaven, come here to end their beautiful life. Here, also known as the "sentimentalism capital." Of course, this is passed history.
3. Yulong Snow Mountain Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang City, Northwest, 15 km away from the county seat. Snow-capped mountains north-south east-west width of 15 kilometers, about 35 km north-south, separated by a strong surge of the Jinsha River and the Haba Snow Mountain is relatively. Naxi Ren Yulong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain in mind is the Naxi Ren older to younger generations the great national hero and the protection of God "3" in disguise, with many praising the heroes of myth and legend. Yulong Snow Mountain is not of snow, is the nearest snow-capped mountains in the northern hemisphere from the equator. It has 13 peaks, steep peak elevation of 5596 meters fan, if a Jianren-line roller, magnificent majestic momentum due to dangerous exceptions, but the peak is difficult because of the steep climb, almost straight up and down barely cling to the Office, changes in and unpredictable human beings have not been conquered. Perennial snow and the cliffs of River strange things hanging modern glaciers, glittering in the sunlight of serac clusters pulls Yi Gu light green, giving a vigorous majestic, solemn holy beauty. Here is extremely rich in plant resources, from the Jinsha River valley to the permanent snow belt, the growth of the Chinese caterpillar fungus, costas, snow tea, snow lotus, Fritillaria and other precious medicinal herbs and pine, fir, rhododendrons, camellias, orchids and so arrange the floral. Every spring and early summer, the mountain foot of the mountain flowers and Colorful. Red azalea, yellow azalea, rhododendron purple dizzying, spruce, red cedar, fir and various pine trees, a verdant and luxuriant.
We took the car gradually opened to the snow-capped mountains near the middle of our down time, I carefully watching snow-capped mountains in the distance, feeling the high cloud the sun is close to me. We continue to move forward to the snow-capped mountains, reached the Yulong Snow Mountain Dong Lu's Ganhaizi, more than 3100 meters above sea level, is a plateau surrounded by the mountain meadow, field of vision is extremely broad, the environment quiet and calm, reminding us of scenes ideal world. Here was a plateau lake, the lake dried up due to the formation of large areas of grass named. Now there's a clear, see the lower great lakes this big meadow about four or five kilometers and a width of two kilometers, covered with lush grass and low shrubs. Here watch the Yulong Snow Mountain, but also some unique sight. Sunny summer, the sun is when the top and steep mountain peak east of the fan, there is a very slightly by plants Ying-pan-green glaciers, serac clusters, ice; and sometimes can see the magnificent avalanches, we saw snow rushes down the mountain, burst of spray diarrhea, an instant there were numerous, such as snowflakes, such as silver, sky flying. In the winter, that the above is a quiet, white, showing the holy crystal-like, 13 Fung meandering meandering, like a jump turn vacated the White Dragon, ready to leap into the continuously flowing in the Jinsha River. The arrival of the winter season we have no such natural beauty to enjoy, but like the winter snow-capped mountains, such as a white dragon in the mist when you disappeared the next.
After that we will be walking distance from a small cable car ride the place, where you can take a small cable car and then walk a distance to reach Yunshan Ping. When I was in the mountains along the ancient structures of the Plank Road to the hill walking, feeling more approached the snow-capped mountains at the foot of the more thought that a distant dream on the Shangri-La, but I very much regret this trip in Yunnan is no Shangri-La. In Lijiang, a week before we came here once before, under a heavy snow, the mountain is blanketed by trees, snow on the Plank Road has been cleared, and I purposely walk in the snow berm on both sides, the snow is very thick can you have not seen the foot, but also quite Cishi's. For quite a long way to go, I gradually without any altitude sickness, and eventually to the Yunshan Ping. It is also known as Jin Xiugu, it is hidden in the original forest is one of the great lawn. Yulong Snow Mountain is located in the mountains of Dong Lu, the main peak in the snow-capped mountains of the lower-right. Yunshan Ping is the peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain fan steep hillside of a mountain meadow. A large natural spruce, fir forest with spacious and there is no such envelope, elevation 3300 meters high mountain pastures. Here, like a huge snow-capped mountains and changing the background, to reflect a Yunshan Ping strange and beautiful scenery unparalleled. I saw a snow-white silhouetted against the dark green of the spruce, followed by Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a serene and quiet.
We walked along the lawn, he felt as if walking to the snow-capped mountains, closer and closer, after farther and farther, and only when you stand here in person you can feel that they and nature are so close, so close ... ... from the mountains nearer nearer also from God, in the Naxi and Tibetan song and dance sound, I also could not help but melodious thoughts together.
We are here to kill a lot of film, but almost everyone can not help but excited, clouds floated here and there in the mountains, making for a while to see the peaks. While they can see that peak, the sun is sometimes no, let us shoot in the snow in front did not know what a good view. Some people quietly waiting for the moment exposed peaks, and some people simply go and Naxi's "fat catty girl" who danced, and some people continue to praise is too beautiful!
We regret that can not continue to sprint to a higher place, and we eventually did not reach the place where more than 4,000 meters, where the scenery will be more wonderful! We all want to come back after the Meet the Yulong Snow Mountain, it is necessary to reach a higher place!
In all the way down the mountain is also the head-hing, suddenly there is a People's Liberation Army soldiers on the bus to check, we also are trying to wonder, he asked me to open my suitcase and said that my suitcase is the Password box. I reluctantly opened up and told him that I was nothing. After the tour guide told us rich yew, it is necessary at an altitude of 3000-4000 meters above areas only, it contains a substance called taxol which is a tumor-inhibiting substance, the local people are to do with this wood cutting board for. Because such trees have to survive in such a special area, so very precious, and now the country of its national-level protected plants have been banned logging, and requested the People's Liberation Army assist in the inspection, despite the strict, or was it a high mountain from the Employment downhill back to the mountains to escape inspection. So later I went back to Kunming, which also stores a few years ago bought a felled yew made of wooden chopsticks, which are permitted by the State, but also very cheap to pay 10 yuan a set of 20 chopsticks, I bought two sets of back then they would feel less, we should buy more sets to give to friends.
We were down at the store inside to drink a sweet tea to alleviate altitude sickness. At an altitude of 2600 meters after a place to eat lunch, tour guides here have long said that because of its high altitude, so cook unfamiliar, but the food has been better than I had imagined. We very fond memories left the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the next move - Old Town of Lijiang.
