2003 late autumn Story - September 29, 2003 ~ October 15 Lingyun travel notes
Is travel season, the bright sun lit up the hearts of every corner, sitting in the large office, but an inability to concentrate his thoughts. I know that they are yearning for a long journey, and may be the destination this time is wrong?
This year I have gone through so many things, busy work, job promotion, that met the loves in my life, most understand my man, but he told me that is impossible, we can no longer love, only friends. Where can I forget it all go then? What kind of landscape in order to soothe my wounded heart? What kind of spiritual journey in order to wash the dust, give me Sheung confidence and courage?
Yes, only westbound. Holy snow-capped mountains, lakes and mountains, mysterious valleys, mighty rivers, lush grassland, distant of the Tea-Horse Road, a quiet city.
Decided, this year's autumn, I will be westbound.
Perfect mountain climbing
Choose what kind of companions Sheung it? Her friends have the freedom to come and go without me this, nor so many days of leave, or on Ctrip about different places of the friend.
And so he chose the team, three off-road vehicles, starting October 1, Chengdu, walking Siguniangshan, Inagi, Aden, Zhongdian, Lijiang, Lugu Lake, Tiger Leaping Gorge. Members are three pairs of 28 to 38-year-old couple, two single men and four single women, besides myself are from Shanghai, a total of 12 people.
In fact, they are also very occasionally elected, on-line to take this line, there are hundreds of posts is simply to look at, however, and this team's convener's name and my surname is exactly the same alphabet, open look, they were prepared to compare adequate staff has been largely determined (I had been starting the first day of a dozen other people go, the results of starting the day only to four personal experience), and then a phone call, the convenor is very hearty, simple way to members introduced me to , seem to be get along, so he so decided.
Chengdu and Leshan
29 evening, I flew to Chengdu. Has always had a special feeling in Sichuan, I was born and grew up in the city close to Sichuan, diet and dialects, and even very close, psychologically as if they are half Sichuanese. Seven years ago, it will be true to Sichuan, but I had missed the plane. Still remember his despair to tears at the airport, watched the aircraft fly away, fly away in that part of first love to do a working relationship early last year came to Chengdu, Sichuan Province is the first real set foot on land. May be too full schedule of three days, in addition to taste the snacks and the famous Huangchenglaoma Chengdu hot pot, almost no time to play.
Again, it was rather too hastily, but I know that, Chengdu, I will certainly will come back.
To the hotel finally saw the trip a Centaur, who is captain of his wife, on the 1st owner of his wife, on the 2nd owner and his two male passengers.
Basic and imaginary similar to the most senior captain of his wife, age of marriage for eight years is a family of fashion Dink; on the 1st owner couple is typical of colorful decoration Langcainvmao combination, do not see is the age of three parents of ; on the 2nd owner is a rugged type, a field trip to see that experience, said to his wife and baby son four years old tomorrow, arrived; another two men one high and one low, there may be a common feature is a little fat , just the young who nicknamed called overweight children, then for the time being, said another big fat bar.
Clubbing captain proposals on how to get everyone agreed.
The focus in the crowded bars (how full of focus, Wuhan, there are a) all of you to dance, beer and DISCO really bridged the gap Oh. Captain couples, small fat and I have an appointment on the 30th go Leshan.
Leshan Giant Buddha is too famous, not to mention my name there is one and the same temple, must go look at them.
In respect of the incense reverently tipped to come to Buddha's highest point, accompanied by three people have to drink tea and look at the scenery in the mountains, I am the only one to go at large in the.
Plank Road hillside chisel built narrow and steep, down to the Buddha at the foot, looked up, the Big Buddha Po-like dignity, backed by cliffs, facing the surging river, it is Dunsheng respect.
The face of Buddha, thanks to a three-worship, the Buddha ah, you can hear my desire?
The true soul mates
No. 30 nights back to Chengdu, 12 individuals will eventually Qi had. They are Martin, a stylish young mother; leaves Nongmeidayan of IT engineers; Yan, delicate and pretty tall operating room nurses. Journey behind the four of us will be in the car, and was truly soul mates. (The fact also proved the case) there is on the 2nd owner's wife, a classical charm of the lovely young lady and her son, made a statement.
Tomorrow will be really starts to travel, and this road will see what kind of scenery, encounter what people?
White Horse took me to Siguniangshan
7:00 am No. 1 in the hotel lobby will be a collection of No. 1 car, 2 cars are exactly the same ISUZU, captain for the purchase of three boxes per vehicle water (later proved too much), each a jar of oxygen (also useless end), we have four girls was a white Jeep Cherokee, the team leader explained that the third owners of cars ISUZU canceled the trip for some reason, this car Jeep Cherokee that he travel to Chengdu, Sichuan Electric (Rudbeckia travel agents) Rent They gave four of us sit. Our "White Horse" and the other two brand-new ISUZU a ratio of dwarfs. When we reluctantly put luggage into the go, then people into going after the enthusiasm remained high, in any case we can westbound in呀.
Driving "White Horse" in teacher surnamed Sun, who prescribe a terrible scar on the left ear, and we asked him curiously, he said a month ago he was a taxi driver, face robbery, came close to being cut off ears, but he succeeded to escape and reported to the police, but that criminals actually committed suicide after being surrounded. We hear stunned, what happened behind the Sun also proved that the master's luck is really bad.
Followed by three cars start really feeling a little fleet of vehicles and cars with walkie-talkies between the contacts, but also very fresh and interesting. But we of the "White Horse" has not come out of the situation in Wolong began. First hearing is not normal "roaring" sound, and then up there behind the super-car tells us that "you are smoking the wheels." Immediately stop inspection, the right rear wheel of a thick thumb screw actually broken! We Xiachu a cold sweat, Sun master put on spare tire, comfort us, "all right, but also to go."
Start crosses, and elevation are slowly increased, I began to feel a headache, breathing shallow, as well as sleepy. I know a little altitude sickness, and then simply go to bed. How vehicles have to stop it? Found out that our "White Horse" in the plateau broke down! With walkie-talkies and II vehicles to contact (walkie-talkie so useful, and a no cell phone signal in the mountains), on the 2nd and Sun returned to work alongside the master vehicle inspection, the conclusion can only be dragged us out, this car, "the White Horse "serious aging, do not know where the problem lies.
So our "White Horse" with a rope tied on the 2nd car behind and was dragged away on the 2nd car is really a great spectacle, attracting countless eye-catching way. Fortunately, we have four girls are all optimists, only hope that the horse quickly returned to normal, so as not to drag on the 1st car and on the 2nd car, affect your trip.
Climbed over a mountain, "horse" finally the name, and everyone burst of cheers, finally approaching Siguniangshan at six o'clock, and after a col, suddenly found a lot of people gathered, and numerous aircraft artillery guns, parking a 'll see that it Yunkai fog lifted, the main peak Siguniangshan "Four Girls" completely expose her grace!
For the first time so close to see the snow-capped mountains, the sun radiates holy light, upright and handsome, coldly accepted the people's worship.
Really catch up much earlier than is done at the clever, those who drive set up a "spear guns," said they were waiting for a few hours before to see the "four girls" hosting the Games, we are about to see such.
But we also have regrets, arriving too late Siguniangshan have no time to visit the. Left to the next bar.
Tower of public grasslands and travel agents moved through the captain's representations, overnight travel from Chengdu to open to another one Cherokee, to continue to carry us forward. Our journey is really full of thrills and excitement, surprise, again at noon the next day and a tractor collided with drag wood, not just rollover in a roadside ditch, bumper has also lost, the former doors also deflated into a big fast. Fortunately, people are all right. Tibetans surrounded the driver around the theory, we are bored to stroll around. Because our traffic accident has caused traffic congestion at both ends.
In the long queue blocked, we found two strange van, all six passengers on board, 70-year-old. The two vehicles have been turned into "car", on board kitchen chair to open a bed and can sleep seven people per vehicle, while the car was rented from a car rental company, and old people live and eat in the car , thus saving a lot of money. They point not because of traffic jams to worry about, is it the car cards. Psyche of admiration for them, if I reach this age, do I have such a mentality?
Side of the dispute is also resolved, Sun of the Tibetan master lose 800 yuan, the Tibetan people agreed to help us drag the car out.
Resumed. 4 girls have been slowly addict to get acquaintance and started talked and laughed.
Nice scenery along the joy of the stream has been accompanied us, and we were also approved by 8 the United States, the East Valley in the afternoon, six, seven hours after a tower of public grassland.
That is how the moment Oh, the setting sun to pour in the endless grasslands will be all dyed golden yellow. The kind of golden, containing the endless warmth and lush, from the hills to the foot of the mountain grassland scattered Tibetan residential areas, stay late cattle, are enveloped in the golden years, in addition to marvel is the endless yearning. This mountain is a certain warm home bar, it will not be put out of the fireplace at home, there is a deep sense of family.
This is the golden grasslands, is the home of the depths of my soul Oh.
Xinduqiao early morning until late the next day to the xinduqiao, the first Tibetan to live at home, as if nothing has not used, the original appearance is still quite squeamish own adaptation.
Got up early the morning, excitedly, and companions walk together in the small rural roads. Xinduqiao is a small town, a clear stream flowing from the adjacent town, the open seat on the grass a colorful Tibetan houses dotted Among them, Yang Shulin handsome tall and straight, leaves have started to become shallow deep yellow.
Faint early morning mist rises, the water is actually ice blue, wanders the dark and distant mountains, is really a beautiful sight.
It is rare for a leisurely morning.
Plateau on the third day of the seven-hour journey is the most memorable, because that day will arrive Inagi.
The xinduqiao spend a leisurely morning and began to hurry, retro without looking from another of the Cherokee spirit, and Sun said that this is the master brake problems. With the walkie-talkie to tell on the 1st car and 2 cars, they are impatient, and said, waiting for us in Inagi.
It took more than an hour the whole good brakes again the road, we are still happily chatting in the car was totally not a little frustrated. After successful Yajiang noon, everyone in the car and exchanged their dry food belt, actually found the original kinda hard tack delicious!
But two hours before Yajiang, "small cut" has broken down! Sun Master In addition to opening the hood will not do anything. Is even more ridiculous is that he actually said: "certainly has been climbing, the engine is too hot, and it is like a loose heat!"
We are around the "small cut" anxious round and round, where more than 4000 meters above sea level, but the plateau Oh, the former Buzhuo Village, after Buzhuo shop, there is no cell phone signals, walkie-talkies also early over coverage.
Half an hour passed, and "small cut" is still not a little reaction, as we discuss a resolute decision to abandon the car, also hailed forward.
Yajiang when there is a shuttle bus bound for towns and through, we stopped cars, asking drivers do have vacancies? Fortunately, there are still vacancies, our luggage onto the car, and Sun only master "bye bye" by. Alas, this is quite upset and this time is already 15:00, and who told Zheliang "small cut" was so disappointing!
Bus on the plateau is also gone extremely difficult, simply can climb to describe. My reaction to the altitude again, this time there apart from headache, nausea, a day seems really ate anything apart from a few cookies. Sleepy.
How vehicles have to stop it?
Bus also broke down! Tall driver resignation, said: "We can only wait in the car, and where there is almost from the Litang County, one and a half hour, I returned to the company to transfer cars to pick you." The passengers seemed very calm , in addition to our four. Our driver was also quipped: "You four is not bad luck?, On which vehicles, which vehicles on the anchor."
The driver stopped the trucks left, we hailed stood helplessly on the road. But now is 7:00 p.m., after the car has become increasingly less and they are all full. We had to return to the car, frustration and so on.
A sharp temperature drop, we will open the sleeping bag cover his body, my nausea heavier and heavier, and finally cracked the lung nausea to vomiting again. Tuwan feel much better after, and decided to smoke a can of oxygen.
10:00, the driver finally returned. Can not have a car, the poor driver said the company broke down today, two cars, motor vehicles are out, he brought two mechanics, repaired cars longer follow. Mechanic dismantled the car was a complete mess, lit headlights began to repair. I am curious to see off the outside cold, can the two boys are quick and neat to repair the car, as if did not feel cold, I really admire them.
This repair is four hours. Wait in the car seems to have numbed. Can not sleep, do not want to say, because the car was full of smoke and a variety of muddy taste. His face was floating on the sea front, at the age of this encounter will be so easy to love how to lose? He did not say I was looking for his hard do? He is not very much in love me? But why the sudden there would be no love out? More terrible呀.
It was so cranky with, at 2:00, car was finally repaired. We burst cheers! 4:00, we finally reached Litang.
Plateau seven hours, never forget.
Aden trip because in Litang is already 4:00, we had looked for a carriage shop in random slept for three hours, 7:00 to sleep. Up later to find that car, finally on a good one van to take us to Aden. The driver was a silent young man, but the cars are turned on too fast and sure. Six and a half hours we went to Aden, when only three in the afternoon.
To a scenic spot inside, horses in groups, the Tibetan people have asked whether or not to horse up. We are excited about four bad, a consulting and decided to immediately go into the mountains at night to live cattle velvet envelope, tomorrow and then down the mountain. Each candidate for a good fast horse, but also hired a mule camel we have tremendous weight of the luggage, proceed! (Again a new discovery, a mule's load capacity is simply amazing!)
Dangling on horseback, enjoying the scenery, but to hear someone call our name, the original captain couples! Finally came across them in! Captain told us that they just Chonggu Si down in the evening live on "The Communists House", if we are tomorrow on the network fabric. Only this way, and car is a captain to help us rent, we also regarded the money given him, and now vehicles can not be used, and go back and travel agencies should negotiate the evening to discuss one way to really need.
This is the untold hardships arrived in Aden do? The narrow mountain roads full of horse manure, a constant stream of visitors flooded, there is no quiet feeling. Tyurin on both sides of the valley is beautiful, flowing springs are so cheerful, noisy human how outdated ah.
Riding a half-hour came Chonggu Si, which is a very simple little temple, but built in such a remote snow-capped mountains of the foot is also very strange. Snow-capped mountains at the foot of the sea there is a pearl, green, green, and truly beautiful, but Yan said the same to go and Jiuzhaigou in comparison to what we do not think. The mountains began to rain, we hurried down the.
Arrived in the "Communist Party members of the House", we meet at last the 12 individuals had. On the 2nd captain told us that car owners have anything to advance his wife back to Shanghai, his car, two people a decision and go back with them, and the other can only be pushed to their car. We four girls were also had already decided to find their own path, our large team of 12 individuals together finally parted ways on the third day of travel.
But we also elected Yan as representative, and after completion of travel and travel agencies to negotiate with the captain to return to our cars. Captain dismay that he could no longer improperly Convenor of. Yes, for the first time when the convener of the situation on the experience that much is enough for Johnson's.
"Communist Party member of the House" is a crude wooden huts, we all sleep in the pass covered the next day, a long been awakened by the rain. Yan lying and I do not want a warm sleeping bag and got up to Yan and leaves has long been dressed to find a good caravan, happily prepared to pile the network. Yan and I struggle for a long time, under such a big rain also went to the network fabric do not do? Really do not want to go. Can be so hard to be here, can not network fabric to go? Or get up and finally decided to go.
The early morning silence on the mountain more. We rode leisurely forward, the rain has been non-stop underground. Noon to the network velvet cattle farm. Another was a disappointment. Cattle market there are a lot of cow dung, but there is no cattle. Yamashita, some large military tent, we remind myself how lucky, but fortunately not on the network last night, velvet, or how to live in this big tent!
Extremely cold mountains, and we shiver while chewing while the name of chocolate, really hungry and cold. Ye wanted to go to milk the sea, colored sea, that can get on foot five or six hours ah, we have three categorically rejected. Poor leaf can only be a majority.
Riding back to the resident is already 15 o'clock, we decided to look for cars back to Inagi, three days without a bath, and really wanted to hurry back to Inagi hot spring!
Beautiful holy Aden, Xian Nairi (Guanyin), Yang Maiyong (Manjusri), Xianuoduoji (Diamond Hand) 3 Kamiyama shall see a few days, the rain they are totally shrouded in clouds. I do not know the future can come back do?
Beautiful Inagi in Aden, and we successfully find a car, so the driver to take us directly to the Ru Buchaca hot springs, is too like a hot shower in!
Ru Buchaca Hot Springs about 10 kilometers from the county seat, in the snow-capped mountains at the foot of the Tibetans built a row of cabins, each cabin can accommodate two men dug a pond bottom covered with gravel, open a small skylight very Zhizhuo lovely. The four of us one person asked for a one, the real VIP treatment ah.
Hot spring water directly into the wooden structure, covered with wash away the dust, quietly soak in water, skylights red cloth curtain summon the wind, heat Yinyun in the weary body and the skin moist again up a good Bathing bubble is really radiant!
Possession of the evening back to our home floor, live in a down sleeping good sense!
The next morning, we start to swim Inagi 4. Inagi is still a very primitive and backward small town, but the city was beautiful, Yang woods, grasslands and streams. Shallow to deep autumn leaves dyed yellow, thick deciduous woods quietly stepped up, wanders the dark and distant snow-capped mountains and streams, is the most beautiful their autumn. We tend to hang around outside the red steppe grasslands and hibiscus, the bright hearts of their autumn collections.
Snow Wolf restaurant in the evening the child to eat snow wolf son asked what we want to go to his friend to open the bar sit. We have been very curious, in such a remote town there is a bar? Mix a lot of restaurants for sale is followed by snow wolf arrived with a son called "caracal" in Tibetan bar.
Bar small but decorated in particular, but also a small dance floor. Bar supply of butter tea, tsampa and other Tibetan food, of course, there are beer and wine. A moment later, the bar hostess returned. She told Darcy, generously gave us sing Zhujiu Ge, but also drink it straight. "I'll teach you jump Guozhuang bar! (A Tibetan Dance)", Darcy is a county cultural centers of the dance teacher, dance is her specialty. Tibetan melodious songs sounded, and we follow a circle dance with Darcy, the atmosphere look alive. The original village can also be a simple pot dance as well!
Darcy does not like ordinary Tibetan woman, she was very generous. She happily told me her age, her five-year-daughter, her marriage has just ended. "This bar is just getting on, and a lot of things to Chengdu to buy it every day, so many friends, I am very happy." Darcy's smile is sincere and really admire her free and easy, why I do not home?
When he left the bar, Darcy and her friends sit together in several Tibetan, a handsome Tibetan man with deep feelings watching Darcy, while the bar touching song echoes Darcy. This open-minded woman, should find a bar belonging to her happiness.
Inagi, is an intense color.
Mountains on the lake in order to save costs, we decided to take shuttle bus to Zhongdian from Inagi. 6:00 am on the departure, and there is snow on the plateau, Gezhuochechuang photographs in our car in the mountains like a leaf boat. This road is very dangerous, bicycle paths, the towering cliffs overlooking the sitting Lin Chuang's seat did not dare look down, because the car was like looking down a vacant. We sat in the last row, is often a jolt Lao Gao, with the car we heard the screams and not feel strange.
A day in the mountains around, it seems like around do not go out. 8 pm, only to Zhongdian. Sit for a whole day car, as if the bones were scattered Britain. Living in the newly opened "Traffic guesthouse", comfortable rooms so that we slept a good feel.
The next day, we plan to easily play one day, because it was so hard in front of a few days, and thousands of miles every day, day trip, get up early sleep at night.
The first stop was the Potala Palace, known as known as a small Songzanlinsi. From afar, as the Golden Songzanlinsi shine. Along the long stone steps up, each sweeping a warehouse parameters are very clean, inside chanting monks, the temples is the faint aroma of butter. This solemn, so I can not help but awe, I had a Buddha before the point of butter lamps, like the Buddha bless I love people.
In fact, I do not like to see the temple could be this Songzanlinsi it seems as though there is a magic. We are four parameters in the small and large warehouses where will want to return pious incense and worship the ground, maybe we are all serious matters for their minds it, the Buddha to tell whether it was a relief then?
The afternoon we came to be outside the city are all lakes, this high mountain lake lying quietly under the sun, the lake, the wind swing the thick grass. Sitting in the lake, in the back of a postcard-style write tickets to him, his address was not remember too well, could have received a revel bar, anyway, and his love has gone, the mood at this time, he ability to understand what is important?
Bita Lake is another well-known alpine lakes, slave out of all lake Bita Lake is precisely the western entrance, although from this port into nine kilometers, but also turned a mountain, but we decided to go in from the side, and then by boat to the south gate, down the mountain from the south gate.
I originally planned to go horseback riding, to talk about a good price get on a horse, they found that a groom pull two horses. We are protesting, because two horses separated by tight, in which a horse actually pull the feces in the yen's feet! Yan immediately jumped out of horses, while looking for washing shoes while shouting: "I do not ride, I went to!" We also follow the dismount, with the caravans say no horses. Caravan gas is also very, Meihao Qi said: "See you walk, nine kilometers of road it is now 4:30, and to see you go get!" We have nothing, bypassing the steps forward, the road is still not walking over it, a sizeable, let's also walk a return!
Good to go mountain scenery is also beautiful, the road through a lot of grassland, grazing horses, in a quiet sunset.
May be, after all, nine kilometers of road ah, has also turned a mountain. When we arrived Bita was already 7:00, and Bita Lake in the sunset twilight presented before our eyes, we are excited to cry, is called the ship, so late, and if can not find the ship, we can only re - nine kilometers to go backtrack!
Fortunately, found a boat, sitting on the boat without even realizing it has been gradually rising moon, the lake seems boundless, quietly surrounded us. Ai Nai lake of slurry which shattered the silence, can not see shore. Boatman a full planning for an hour, when we landed, has eight of the.
Going to shore, but also dreamed of Maji, but how could! Sheung it, sisters! Logs along the paved path along the cliff, and we walk through the woods in the dark. Lanky walk in the front of Yan, no loss is the operating room nurse, that is brave. We loudly sing, encouraging each other, is ah, will not that mountains do, and only two kilometers only! May be soon, we have asthma and Shi Shi, and after all, more than 3000 meters above sea level here, ah.
We dare not stay, along the mountain road had been before the line, and an hour later, finally reached the summit! The direction of downhill did not walk a few steps, surprised to see the car parked in the parking lot waiting for us! Burst of ecstasy! Actually do not have to go down, too blissful! We are dancing and shouting around the driver Oda, Han Han, he said: "You do not come, I am ready to call the police in!"
Through Bita Lake, we spent four and a half hours. But that mountain lake on the ah, back to make us forget all the fatigue and fear.
From Lijiang to Lugu Lake to Lijiang, Zhongdian is a day's drive to reach Lijiang is around the 18 o'clock. Hastily in large stone bridge near the Kyrgyz benefits Inn stay there the whole night, roughly a stroll in the city, stroll, Lijiang is a lot of commercial atmosphere, tomorrow is probably somewhat different bar in the Lugu Lake.
The next day an early start to the Lugu Lake, along the way mountain circled, bend very much in the car as in a boat. Lugu Lake across Yunnan, Sichuan provinces, Ninglang Xian is the nearest town from its conclusion that "Ninglang" This name really beautiful. There are dozens of villages throughout the Lakes region, which has been developed Luohe very mature, and resorts are a lot of class. We reject the do not go, and went to dozens of kilometers residents in the village. Only 20 residents in the village a few households, lake huts Inn is the outsiders who do have the one half to open. The high tide season, huts just outside the narrow road, we arbitrarily picked a stay there, because similar.
Zhu Caochuan hired to tour Lake, only to find a big lake! Bird Island in the lake were all drawn to one and a half hours, the island looked so close. Moso women love to sing, they sang while rowing the side, as if is only natural that thing.
To participate in the evening returned to the village bonfire party, dancing boys and girls is probably to be 16, seven years old look like it, very simple lovely. However, far from the Tibetan dance Mosuo Guozhuang good-looking, no wonder Young two cars Namu writes in her book, Tibetan women and men, if Mosuo walking marriage, in the tribe is very face-saving thing.
Moso tribe has retained the custom of matrilineal family home, is the highest position of his grandmother, while walking marriage are basically fixed, not as outsiders think so casual.
We are the only one in the village walking, passing through a warm coffee shop, it is unheard of is not it? Here, however remote lake ah.
Here is the original famous "blossoming home." A girl Taiyuan residents in the village inn and cafe open. There is a heavy smell of a woman, room curtains and quilts are colorful cotton cloth, kitchen and toilet very clean. Coffee house filled with flowers, of course, good music and books.
Blossoming has been just over three-year-old's birthday, she was not pretty, but very quiet. She sat in the warm coffee shop where she was reading the article on-line hair, I really have the flavor of San Mao Baishouchengjia in the Sahara Desert. Many women have no traces of the idea of horizon can be really brave to give up the bustling city to start from scratch, few can do it again? Blossoming is a real Xingqingzhongren.
If you have the chance, I will Zaiqu residents in the village, in the blossoming family was as many nights. Hope, have my love and my peers.
Lijiang soft time again back to Lijiang, is actually a bit tired. Front line of a thousand miles journey almost all day, bustling, in Lijiang, should be a good break.
Leaves and Yan because of the relationship between the holidays can only stay one night in Lijiang, and I, and Yan, but can then wait three days, they must be dead jealous of us.
The final four girls, one night in Lijiang, the most lively Bar Street. We are haughty disregard of others smile, tell a story that took place 10 days, drank a bottle of beer, a bottle again. Why are so many good journey unaccompanied woman do? Sheung alone may be chic, but also helpless. Four in such a manner that we get together, age, actually have just turn Paixia, so along the way, there are many similar insights and understanding, it would be a rare fate.
Inn on the way back, there are handsome men shouted to us: "beauty, come with a drink!" Can we just go back resplendent smile, arm in arm drifted away. We do not look forward to travel in the Yan Yu, but looking forward to a true and warm love.
Leaves and Yan back to Shanghai, and I, and Yan in the city to find a quiet Naxi Inn, could not wait to move in the past.
Inn owner and aunt is a retired head of Lijiang Song and Dance Troupe, Lijiang version of Third Sister Liu's actor, more than 60-year-old still has a grace of magnanimity. But her husband died of cancer last year, giving her a heavy blow. Young and aunt dedication heavy, often out performed all love to take care of home, retirement, shortly before her husband was away, and the aunt for a long time can take heart. Fortunately, inn guests from different places brought her a lot of fun and joy, and the aunt finally decided to properly operate the inn, is also regarded as another kind of sustenance.
And Aunt inn little before and after the two-yard, two-story small building. But it's been a hundred years of history the courtyard and the courtyard is landscaped trees, clean quiet. The forecourt of the stone paved courtyard where the "Fukurokuju hi" is a different animal representative, on behalf of "long life" in Lao Gui is grandmother's house door, it is no wonder that his grandmother so long life. Backyard has a centuries-old Malus halliana, listening and aunt say that when the crabapple blossoms in spring it is beautiful. There are a wide variety of flowers I could not utter the name of this garden is simply my dream. And Aunt inn has not officially started, but also hiding Shenxiang, so I am, and Yan was the only tenant, and we live in the best of a room, facing the full House plants really extremely happy!
Yan said she would sleep a nap, I sat in the gallery before, a cup of tea, a roll of hand, the afternoon sun bathed the small homes, Sajin my heart.
Aunt to do at night to eat and delicious meals, really a kind of illusion of home. After dinner, I went out to listen to Naxi ancient music, and Yan. Ancient Music of fame too, certainly worth a, Xuan Ke's host is also a must.
The city was so noisy at night, a variety of bars overcrowded. Yan and I walk in the quiet of the centenary slightly Square, small bridges the mood only slightly realized.
The next two days, I Yan went to one of the streets of the ancient city. The warm sunshine, we are a cotton garment embroidery, Huan Pei Ding Dong (a variety of strange collecting treasure store house), enjoy the soft time in Lijiang.
Very much hope that this beautiful city will not be too commercialized, to retain some of the Naxi's genuine, not a new house, the more the better呀.
Lijiang, to our trip marked the successful end.
Conclusion when on the road, I am very sad. Had wanted to, because the hurt I am most men. So, my choice has always prettily such arduous journey, I want to see how far he can go, can have strong, are neither able to heal?
