October 6 Zhongdian, Shangri-La (Part Two)
7 am increased, at the hotel entrance waiting for a train to meet us. Outside the gate is a small piece of lawn, there are some yaks grazing. You can sit on the grass of the bench, basking in the warmth of the sun, take a look at the book to see yak, really feeling good. Yak's wife seems very interested in, quietly staring at their view, they will not care about yak is still calm and careful eating breakfast.
8:00 car to, first of all proceed to the Bita Lake. The scenery along the way really good, contiguous ranch, cattle and sheep flocks, was really a bit envious of the lives of the herders. Car about 40 minutes, arrived at the door of Bita Lake. This Bita Lake is actually a plateau in the mountains surrounded by lakes, it is necessary to see Haizi, first of all to enter the mountains. Bought tickets (30 / person), I and my wife chose a different horse (60 / person, round trip), and grooms under the leadership of advancing to the mountains. Mountains and quiet, the mountainside is lush vegetation, is a babble of the stream around. Horse Road along the narrow, winding, and we rode leisurely stroll through the forest.
Groom is a 20-to-year-old Tibetan small group, people are very polite, cheerful, and along the way and we talk very happy. My wife is not enjoyable to go too slowly, they learn small group of like shouting the Ganma gallop. But do not know if we have the accent or the horse to bully us, is always a leisurely walk, trot a few steps up to meet and let us know. His wife has apparently forgotten the breathtaking Tiger Leaping Gorge to the back of the head, seriously, excitement and dedication to fine-tune with their own little pony. I race to see who deliberately ran her fast. Along the way play was elated.
The road is really long, walking more than 30 minutes later, we can see that a large pasture, grass green pole, and the distance you can see yaks group. Sometimes we would go to yaks on the road, or simply lying in the middle of the road, you have to be careful around them. After a flat pastures began the mountain, where the air is very fresh and really want to breathe every day. Then, after more than 20 minutes, and finally arrived, we dismounted and walked straight to the Bita Lake.
Tranquil Bita Lake lying between the mountains do not know why, visitors are very rare. The greatest feature here is the quiet, almost no trace of the sound. The lake like a mirror like the smooth, blue lake, the mountains and forests reflected upside. Lush deep forests and beautiful lakes, wide as if only part of our two people. We walk through the forest, it reminds me of a child's spring tour. 3600M elevation here is about Tiger Leaping Gorge, we met a few people say the symptoms a little plateau, but we seem to not have any discomfort, in addition, there has always been easy fatigue. 20 minutes walk along the lake you can see a small pier, where you can charter drawn to the lake opposite the island. We rented a (50 / h) and found that was a mistake. To the ship you will find a large lake than you think multi-, in order to draw to a small island at least 1 hour, plus time to play on the island, round to 4 hours or so, too expensive. We are planning a 30-minute and found there is no hope, and can only be drawn back again, but also to catch up with it began to rain, we are the same as the dragon boat races desperately to catch up to the shore until the port is already tired, the time is precisely a hours.
They stroll around the beginning of the stroll back to go. Back is still riding, 50 minutes later returned to the gate (Tour Bita needs at least 4 hours or so, if you want to spend on the island is basically one days of the time).
To go out on the train was nearly 2 points, they must proceed to the case of both lakes. In fact, two lakes not far from which, he drove very fast, about 30 minutes later arrived. Both Lake and Bita Lake is similar to a plateau lake, said a relatively small, but the scenery was more beautiful. Tickets (30 / person) into the area, found that there is indeed very small compared to teach Bita Lake, go walk a few steps on to the lake. In fact, here is also a great lake, surrounded by mountains, the mountain vegetation has been replaced by a lot of fall clothing, color appears structured. Surface of the lake there is a long piece of reed-like plants, golden yellow and a very soft look, give the lake a lot of Tim color. Here visitors seem to be more than the Bita Lake, we continue to stroll along the lake.
Whether in Bita Lake, or are have all of your photography made a lot of challenges, especially if there is no wide-angle lens. If people according to the scene could not include big, If you want to shine a complete view of the people would like a small insect. A very clever, we just run into the lake of the sky appeared a bright rainbow, quickly snap down. 2 minutes after the rainbow disappeared. In the case of both lakes is probably turning over 1 hours on the same subject.
Roughly two days to tour the Shangri-La, I get the feeling that: here, a few well-known scenic spots have quite different characteristics, but the real Shangri-La is not the place of those tickets. But in the way those natural pasture, in the natural serenity of the Tibetan villages, in the local fresh and honest smile ... ...
