October 3 Tiger Leaping Gorge (Part I)
7:00 am to get up early and enthusiastic landlord checkout farewell Woliang start carrying a thick backpack went to the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. Yulong Snow Mountain Tiger Leaping Gorge is a valley between snow-capped mountains and the Pak Mong, the Jinsha River flows through the canyon bottom, where is Zhongdian (Hong Kong across the lira) and Lijiang, the natural dividing line. Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into upper, middle and under the three Gap, between the interval of more than 10 km, imposing extraordinary, which is more to the tiger jumped the most spectacular and famous. As the unique natural ecological scenery good, therefore, a very well-known international expedition route on foot. Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot line generally have two kinds of moves, one from the big with crossing the river by jumping from the next tiger - the tiger jump - jump on the tiger reflux line, the other is from the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge (bridge ) start from the tiger jumped - jumped the tiger - tiger jump to go under the law. Two kinds of moves have their own advantages and disadvantages, the first comparison to the hot and just finished the bridge, you can directly go to Zhongdian, but the departure must be big with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which means you have to once again dig Tickets! The second departure from the bridge, do not repeat the ticket, though it has completed a contract is to big, not only back to Lijiang away to other districts. Since we went to Zhongdian, so the program of choice is the second deformation. In other words, to start after bridge jump in the tiger jumped on the tiger, and then folded back against the bridgehead, and then gave Zhongdian.
In the Old Town of Lijiang in casual eating something, we straight went to the passenger bus. 1 inquiries, lucky and happen to have sent to the Tiger Leaping Gorge 8:00 CMB (20 yuan / person, after a bridge, jump directly to the tiger; this car a daily, arriving on the tiger jumped around 11:00 noon, Around 12 o'clock then backtrack). China and Pakistan here I feel pretty good, relatively clean and definitely not overloaded. Within a short while the car was fully occupied with people, luggage on time and just settled out of standing.
Or the gloomy days, it will drift from time to time under the Jisi light rain, but fortunately I have is the weather in Yunnan is no longer what is the fantasy. Out of the city is still a familiar mountain drive, cars seem to have become lighter in Yunnan a lot. Just opened not long afterwards, his wife has to sleep on, and did not know that this journey is not too hard on her it? Although the past two days I have lack of sleep, but now I was surprisingly spirit, just staring out the window a daze. To listen to the driver master speaking, if the weather is good, along the way can clearly see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and my heart can not help but addition of a fraction of the rainy-day complaints.
Speed has always been fast, unknowingly to the edge of the Jinsha River, and then I found the window of the scenery is so charming. Is a piece of road on both sides of the crop land and the occasional cottage visible, wide in the side of the Jinsha River flowing slowly, the distance is endless undulating mountains, and when all was misty cloud of the rendering , as if heaven and earth has become so unreal, and I seem to be exposure to outside world, in a mobile platform to view the constantly changing is very real, but extremely sharp illusory watercolor again. It's unbelievable that so I have been complaining about the rainy days would end for me, has shown such a unique and memorable landscape.
3 hours passed quickly, about 10:30 we reached the bridge the town, here is the link Lijiang, Zhongdian and a transit point. A small town, almost only one road (that is, Lijiang - Zhongdian, the only land connection channel), the road along the street is that many restaurants and small shops, it seems very busy. We did not get off, then sit for 15 minutes to reach the last tiger jumping spots (in the spots at the entrance to Mai Menpiao, 30 / person, the whole Tiger Leaping Gorge is no need to buy any tickets).
Tiger Leaping Gorge is actually a valley between two snow-capped mountains sitting, while lying or sitting on the Jinsha River valley, the so-called tiger jumped on the river here is the center of a few large rocks, coupled with the enormous differences in the river, resulting in here Jiang Shi collisions, the overwhelming rare landscape. Vehicles are built in the mountains by the middle of a road to reach here, the vertical side of the road, darkened by the other side of the mountain is a vertical cliff, cliff hundreds of meters deep the river is rolling, its imposing indeed alarming.
Jump on the tiger is a typical tourist attractions, has been occupied by a large number of tour groups, people crowded in a narrow channel to reach the bottom of the canyon watching tigers jump landscape. I have always been interested in dull for such a place, not to mention the main objective of our trip is the tiger jumped, so the car we are looking for vehicles to reach the tiger jump (generally speaking, should be on foot, but also because of our tomorrow, the original Therefore, do not want to repeat the journey to the line of; In addition, due to stay in the Gorge near the Inn is only two, while the double is even more pitiful, and so when you spend 3-4 hours on foot to reach the question of housing is very afraid that people had a headache. Another : All tours only to jump on the tiger).
It is easy to find a Beijing Jeep, 80 (which can seat four people) sent in the Gap TINA'S Inn, pretty fair. Fact, the average car can only be open until the tiger jumped, although the road has been extended throughout the upper, middle and lower tiger jumped, but because of bad weather here, and often large-scale landslides, so the tiger jumped - a period of more than a dozen under the tiger jumped kilometers of roads have been totally off vehicles, while the tiger jumped - the tiger jumped about 15 kilometers of this road is relatively preserved, but also have to prohibit any vehicles on the roadside with a sign erected Writer " vehicular access and then move forward, otherwise all the consequences of conceited!. " Where to see this come out to play, plus these days are rainy days, road condition is bad enough, some can not help but worry.
Car through a small tunnel, officially entered the mountain road leading to the tiger jump. Sure enough, once clearly not the same on the road conditions, and surprisingly muddy road full of potholes, there are far separated from the cliff rolled in the middle of the road or at the side of a huge falling rock. Even worse, landslides occurred in a number of lots, roads were buried on the half, leaving only half of that by the cliff. Vehicles can only be cautious near the cliff, the outer edge of the wheel is almost at the cliff road at the slightest mistake, immediately fatal car crash. To be honest, we have never had such a feeling close to death's existence. While the driver was very calm, but our heart has been easily exceeded 120. My wife opens her eyes wide, really good preparation for the Bump preparations. As we have even decided to get off on foot, finally heard the driver say the most dangerous of the lot, and I covertly long out of breath, take a look at his wife finally relaxed leaning against the seat, we spontaneously with a wry smile looking across the one, whispered the word "can be considered over the."
Noticeably accelerated speed, 10 minutes, we reached the Hisatomi famous TINA'S Inn.
