Colorful Yunnan (4)
Lijiang, an average elevation of 2,000 meters and above. Arrived at the airport, already the night falls, the sky's the stars flicker, as if from us today, especially the past. To pick our guide let us call him "A Peng" (Naxi pairs of young men called) on board in addition to us about the situation in Lijiang, A Peng also for us to sing the first Naxi folk. though arrival in Lijiang, but the A Peng's enthusiasm and his voice makes us feel that special closeness, a sudden narrowing our distance. Lijiang night temperature is low, for those of us just after Songkran, half drenched people, really a bit cruel. Although the early addition of clothes, but still clearly feel the cold. to the hotel, back to room, hastened to put on clean clothes, but also added a fleece This downstairs for supper. elevator half a day do not come, so people get upset. I ran down the stairs in one breath child down the stairs, suddenly feeling heart rate, respiratory difficulties, This recall A Peng's exhortations: This is better than plain, vigorous exercise should not just on the plateau. After dinner, as the camera when the primeval forest in Xishuangbanna has been thoroughly can not be used, and then the camera out to repair some of the A Peng. on the street people are not too many, but the shops still open the door. find several repair shops, failed to fix the final desperation, had bought three one-time "Fuji" cameras. a taxi back to the hotel, because tomorrow is also go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, they had to lie down early. Hotels Qianban Ye have heaters may be in order to save energy, heater stopped late at night, I had to crunch in the quilt, the forbearance until dawn.
Today is the sixth day of travel. Get out of bed, the body feel a little cold and had rained the night. Hotel is located Snowy Mountains Road, the weather here is good when you can see snow-capped mountains, but now the dark clouds have not yet dissipated, the snow-capped mountains in the direction of only a gray one. the car after about 10 minutes away, we went to a big city research. the door a huge waterwheel not stop rolling forward flip, like the ancient account of the changes and vicissitudes of life for hundreds of years. to go from here incorporated, it is the world-famous Dayan old town. Snow melting snow converging rivers, running through every one through the city streets, reminiscent of Venice. into the Square Street, under the drizzling sky, white small particles, a silent dyed white beard and hair, wet clothes through. North Korea looked far away, slender alleys, there is no end. bluestone paved road is due to wet rain, a faint reddish Youguang. the air was rain wash away a more fresh, the stone was washed cleaner water, small bridges, flowing water, tea houses, coaching inns, Inclined rain, we have immersed them. unconsciously already out of the ancient city.
Out of the city, hurried tour of the Baisha murals, but also non-stop to the Tamamizu Villa. Snow-capped mountains of snow on the shed to fill the Villa everywhere ponds, many of the end of rainbow trout aimlessly swimming in the pool water in the pool water in the cold appears to bone-chilling weather, I really admire the fish a bit to adapt to the cold environment. At this time more intense rain, and fortunately we are wearing trench coat. upward along the path walked, the surrounding vegetation are turning yellow. far Office of winding mountain surrounded by clouds jade belt, hazy misty mysterious Mody measured. The more the wind going up the greater the folder with rain hit your face, a short while on the blurred sight of the two. come to an end, station at high levels, looking ahead, the distance blurred mountains, sky flying in rain and fog, clouds yudai children in general constitute a hint of landscape painting. big mouth breathing the cold fresh air, enjoying nature's beauty, heart feel free to name-like.
Out of the Villa, this time the rain already stopped, but the mountain wind is still fierce, Pallas clouds in general have been blown Qilingbaluo gradually dispersed slowly. A Peng came to tell us an unexpected thing: As the the night it rained, the road to the snow-capped mountains accumulated a lot of snow and ice, scenic area management office for the safety of tourists, has been temporarily closed the mountain road. everyone's mood suddenly sink to the bottom, across the mountains and seas to here, actually missed look at a snow-capped mountains, such a result so that we can not afford. Apeng Do not worry everyone, and then wait to see what there had ever been. the car had returned to Lijiang, eaten lunch, the weather gradually clear up, revealing a distance the outline of the snow-capped mountains, we again renewed hope. but the driver refused to go back to snow-capped mountains, through the efforts of everyone, and A Peng, but also added fuel costs 50 yuan, the driver This concede. the car moving in the direction of snow-capped mountains when they resumed their snow-capped mountains from us started getting closer. I was sitting next to the driver, wide vision, non-stop with the camera to capture the mountain's shadow. the car was last in the "dry Haizi" stopped in front of no longer follow, and snow and ice the road sealed. 10 years ago this was a highland lakes, due to crustal movement, into the sea dry now. rise looked, Yulong Snow Mountain in front, it is so close to it, so it felt cold skin, and even pulse rhythm. the magnificent snow-capped mountains, Peaks connected, undulating stretches. in the sun reflecting bright light, like Yinlong fly, the sky-line. We foot of snow-capped mountains were snow-capped mountains of the momentum of the shock. We are excited, and even some of suffocation. Although he could not on the snow-capped mountains, can view Cijing, this line should be sufficient.
Reluctant to part with the departure of snow-capped mountains, the car began to back open, looked at the snow-capped mountains behind us, and my heart wondering I do not know what year and what month in order to come back here one time to the heart to become adrift ..... Lijiang Dali's enchanting scenery along the way, Green Hills everywhere, terraces and lakes throughout the four weeks, three hours away unknowingly passed quickly. reached Dali, the sun-setting. We stayed in the Camellia Hotel.
The seventh day we climbed up early again, hastily eaten breakfast, we set out. The first tour of a temple, but also forgot to What's your name, anyway, inside and out have to go over again. Unfortunately, there are also catch up with the monks distinguished guests, ladies, but everyone back to wise up, and no claim to the master preaching opportunities. out of the gate and went straight to the ancient city of Dali. the whole city has been high and surrounded by thick walls, much like Beijing's Forbidden City, but the comparison Dali less showtime magnificent imperial Forbidden City. into the city, saw shops, the crowds surging, bustling. the vast majority of shops mainly engaged in handicrafts, local products mostly Dali's most famous tie-dye-based. the local bar dye is quite distinctive, but also reasonably cheap. wife also bought a top tie-dye hat he pulled belt in the head. within the city's business atmosphere is very dense, thus undermining the ancient city of the most primitive of the most precious things. from protecting the historic look of the speaking, the ancient city of Lijiang Dayan done better in this respect a lot. As the city is not large, did not take long, we turn out from the city. Cangshan at this time in the sun on top of snow began to melt, haunted mountain Pallas's gone with the wind clouds drift away. Dali and Lijiang scenery is very close to, but the two compared Dali scenery seems a lot less. The next is the famous Temple Chong San, as well as Dali Three Pagodas, I have them have been known for a long time, and enter the temple, and the natural and ultimately unsatisfactory onto it again from scratch.
Moment to the local Bai Jiazhongzuoke, tour guides in the car in advance to tell us some things to note is mainly used by some peoples. Not much effort, our car went to the houses of the Bai ethnic group, greeted a two-story building houses. into one of the courtyard, the entire courtyard is a traditional tripartite one Zhaobi Bai, Tetraena five courtyard courtyard-style layout. the bottom entirely of wood carved six qualified doors, all windows are wood. eaves and walls body with a nice ink landscapes, flowers and birds painting decorative patterns, accompanied by white walls and gray tiles and Ma Tau walls and so on, very national characteristics. read residential areas, we are on the way home, Bai eat lunch, although not what is delicious, but also are local features. Butterfly Spring in Bai near residential areas, due to the season has passed, a butterfly is a not a, but added in front of the market there are many vendors selling butterfly specimens, crafts a lot stronger than in Xishuangbanna, Prices are not expensive, we have bought pieces.
Erhai Lake, after years of environmental governance, has been restored its original appearance. We boarded the ferry, near view of Erhai Lake, overlooking Cangshan, four hours, enjoy enjoying the scenery of Dali, during which in the cabin also enjoyed a unique Dali "Three Tea" show.
Returned from Erhai Lake, just back to the hotel, tour guide told me a very angry over something. Beijing's travel agent had not originally planned, the original ticket stubs faxed to Dali Camellia travel agency, so his wife will be unable to check back to Kunming. Fortunately, God has eyes, I am in Dali city ticket outlets to buy the last two tickets which one, finally saved the day. (To be continued)
