Northwest Yunnan --- chasing Roaming (6)
March 25, 2003
As the morning sun rises in the mountains the other side of the valley can not see the first ray of sunlight, sleep in today, a full 8:00. Last night's stars are still everywhere churn the sea heart, in this quiet valley in connection really want to stay there, and really want to turn into a member of Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Tea-Horse Inn gave me the feeling was so thick, and now look at the stars will be remembered Shihai impulse.
Road is still the same, one side is a mountain, one side is a cliff, so the morning walk is more like a wonderful experience, no one to speak, understand the fun of the foot. Sunlight through the Yulong Snow Mountain peaks, it illuminates the side of the Haba Snow Mountain, the feeling is that the two peaks as the sun will be the same as supporting them, and no difference in the myth.
Road roundabout forward, since it has the highest point during this journey, and today the road is basically flat road or downhill, with more energy to enjoy this feeling of the mountains steep hills, you can also make good sense of confidence at this time .
The front is a local Bay, and daimyo widely known for HALFWAY is here, and the equipment is more than the tea-horse Inn is a handicap, but known as "the best in the world toilet" and "best in the world the balcony," the two main attractions indeed classic do not insult him by name. Rising of the sun's rays on the balcony here really sublimation, and such warmth, but not want to go the. If time is sufficient, I believe that the Star is the same here in shock.
Passing through a waterfall of Guanyin. This is the Haba Snow Mountain on the melt-water-fed water, perhaps because the water is so pure, laden the essence of heaven and earth, thus named for the Goddess of Mercy Falls. DC water from the head down across the road ahead, but also flew down, with snow-capped mountains to the river's desire straight away the Jinsha River. He Kou water, with a pure heart, pure digging the same block of stone, this stone Tiger Leaping Gorge, I will take it to go thousands of miles with it to this body that it may be possible to go where no Yangtze River ----- estuary. It will also take everything here, this feeling of Tiger Leaping Gorge to bring my friends!
After a small uphill, was a rapid decline in the road. Distance, have seen a big ditch, and the front is the same with the HALFWAY a well-known TINA'S. Sunshine has started to reassert itself, and this time to walk on the bare hillside really hone people's will, must temper our TINA'S are almost lost the top of the hill, several signs point to a cliff, but fortunately, we have not adopted. In the slanting slopes to find a way, I really did not expect the destination on foot, but can not go on, this feeling is really strange. Fortunately, at last taken note of the trail, and finally to the TINA'S.
TINA'S feel like a big family here, brought together officials from all sides of the travelers, and we are all so hit it off, because here we have only one common goal, that is on foot tiger dancing bear foot fatigue, but also enjoy the fun on foot.
TINA'S boss TINA is also very easy-going, despite the Inn is not great, but in her business but is also well known for the next. And there is also characteristic, every afternoon hours, where strong winds are blowing, so every day.
We arrived in the afternoon when a very strong sunlight accompanied by the whistling winds, has left us here. Intended to continue to move forward in the next tiger jumped across the river to the opposite of the big tools, but now want to come after the trip were walking on the road has been no walk in the mountain roads of that feeling, then the time was not so full, today is certainly not to big with the. To consider again, or going to, return, and tomorrow, the car ride to the bridge back to Lijiang. Have been more than one day in the absence of full communication signal through the mountains, and distant family and friends must also quite a hurry.
In here, enjoying the sun, walk in the wind big ditch where the cliff edge, where it deserves to be called the cliffs, unpredictable, according to the sun are not in the end. From west to east throughout the entire valley Fengyi Chui, the entire heart to be flying faster. At this point, the wind and move energy, wind energy will I feel back to me a place!
Haba snow-capped mountains behind the sun peaks in the projection out of the last light, it shine like a dragon in general, the projection on the opposite side of the Yulong Snow Mountain ridge on the winding lifelike. Finally, a golden yellow in the sun once again the end of today's show, left a lot of nostalgia, is also looking forward to a more brilliant tomorrow.
Dinner the soil chicken soup taste here, I really did not expect this Tiger Leaping Gorge, there are still so memorable cuisine. Beauty plus food, there was no need for other things.
Night Star is no longer in comparison with the last night, perhaps luck bar, be able to enjoy the vast Tea-Horse Inn is God's gift of the Star Bar.
After a day of Lawton into sleep, it is a pleasure ... ...

The morning sun shot penetrating windows, a new day has come, and the feeling of waking up in the Tiger Leaping Gorge is so beautiful, looking out the window of the snow-capped mountains, wake up with you, grant the golden dress.
Enjoyed a breakfast of Naxi pie, you use the time waiting for a train and then a good look at the Tiger Leaping Gorge in the morning, do not know whether the future will have the opportunity to visit here, attachment feelings for us. Tiger Leaping Gorge people can truly face ourselves, walking here, people are associating with nature, but also a natural part of it. Here give me too much, the future will probably be a long time after the aftertaste.
Car came, and took us again on the winding mountain roads, this time feeling than that from Zhongdian to come back when you go down this road have more deep-seated feelings, I want to here as the later part of life.
Once again, the way back to Lijiang in the mountains enjoying the fresh air, that can give people the air as if reborn directly from the skin infiltration of the body to breathe as much as possible, as much as possible to enjoy the natural given.
The afternoon, we returned to Lijiang, feeling, or so cordial and took the stone road was like back home, watching the growing number of tourists as outsiders looked like.
Soon as possible contact with family and friends about, will also be sent back to Tiger Leaping Gorge feeling of the city.
Looking for good accommodation, where we have to live to the left, looks like a very long time, but in fact passed between dazzling.
Rest a bit, quickly took advantage of the night has not yet come to that period of time to walk around the ancient city. To tell the truth, have come such a long time, the real city had not had time to taste, to determine the few days since, will be going to feel a real Old Town of Lijiang.
The ancient city of Lijiang, perhaps in the eyes of many tourists might be just like a small town south of Yangtze River, such as Zhouzhuang, or, as Zhujiajiao, nor is it being portrayed in a variety of magazines petty bourgeoisie paradise. Like a lot of people do not see, in fact has deeper roots in cultural heritage here, and that medieval civilization left, and a great southern town who can not match. Maybe not my vision sharp, but because the plateau city does need a lot of time to feel, to interpret, to experience, it is not those who hurry tourists can do. When integrated into the life of this ancient city, when, to experience a deeper level of Lijiang.
To lay down their luggage, and pick up the camera, Xianbu in Trail, the rapid walk through the crowd, using to capture the true feeling of Lijiang, maybe there is not just Square Street, not just large stone bridge, not just the government compound in wood ... ... really reflected in the alley at the end of Lijiang Naxi courtyard, walking on the road is reflected in the faces of the elderly Naxi, reflected in the flora on the Naxi old house roof, and express it in our hearts ... ...
Went deep in the ancient city within walking distance to the south and left the noisy crowd, quiet alley here, where people's honest, no Fan Chen secular, where every tree and bush are about such an authentic Lijiang, where Lijiang is live, I finally found the heart of the rivers and lakes. In a small stream, Hekou three spring of water, walking in the Naxi culture, the original in such a colorful city, we saw no color is indeed one, but it is pure world. That convinced that I had in Lijiang.
It turned out that I only believe in a purely natural, no smoke in the graceful heaven and earth with pure hearts in order to look at this world, but now all has changed, the same can be seen here. Perhaps the only lies in the hearts of those who see only lies in how to discover and experience of being.
And then back to the bustling Square Street, watching group after group of new visitors surprise face, it is difficult to imagine the evening, I was like come here, but now immersed in the here in the ancient.
Today Square Street by night was how quiet ah, the real feel of the "little faint on the mountain, the faint in the suburbs, large faint" in the city feeling, the natural and the line between secular actually only!
