7 am, the 11 passengers on the train on time, because hurry today, but also turned a lot of mountains, the driver let us know. I do not know altitude sickness or fatigue of yesterday, so that all the people on board were sleepy, 11 points to the most beautiful photography of the places new capital, that is, according to some photos. Then climb Gore Temple Hill, scissors Bay Hill, clamp, sa, apart from the occasional hail a Liangsheng, but also the kind of passion is not hungry yesterday.
At around 3 in the afternoon to enjoy the "World High City," said the Litang (in the Tibetan language in the meaning of the caoba flat, such as bronze mirrors), so Litang County because there are endless vast prairie and hair Jiangya named, not only is high (4014 meters), and Nazuo were the first ring of the scary Ker Monastery, as well as "Connan shamanism Holy Land" reputation of the Litang Monastery is located in the north of the city. Sichuan-Tibet highway across the county middle, reason (Tong) township (town) to Yunnan road from here.
In Litang did not stop, but up a few free riders, including three Japanese, two men and a woman, they did not know how many Chinese, nor how could English, although I studied in university standards for Japan a few days language, but the last three years, everything forgotten. Counterparts for several hours, finally the only thing I know is that they pointed to the map Inagi - their destination, although we can not exchange, but I can see from their eyes are devout! There is an honor to see the whole process of burial of tourists, giving us about the heroic with the burial: the dead Tibetans cut into small pieces and flocks of vultures circling in the sky, diving down to eat meat, so people with the Condor's flight has been detached. Through the window from time to time to see wild animals could not utter the name of the plateau grass running. In the drowsy state, also do not know how long it had, then I know that missed a total size of the Haizi 1145, size and quantity of our country unique Haizi Shan. Is a pity! Has finally come to revive a feeling of lunch places - Plateau cod meal, next to a stream in a simple house, the water is the river of snow, just melt flow down on the snow-capped mountains, fish in the river that is immediately inside the net, landing on the pot that is not delayed. Although the taste less like, can be really fresh fish soup, a bowl of soup Xia Du, not only wash away the fatigue of a two-day bumps in the 4,000 meters in the highlands the spirit resumed.
As night falls, the lights fade out bits and pieces are, in order to give more sense of mystery. After a bridge was a river bed in the open in the past, which is Inagi River, the bridge was washed out in the summer, and the present is not more than 100 meters from the two street formed a "T", which is Inagi all. Blue Moon Valley Hotel that evening was admitted to the local than the famous hotel. Inagi County's total population of more than 30000 people, including agricultural population of 25000 people. With Tibetans accounting for more than 96%, in addition there are the Han, Naxi, Hui and Yi ethnic groups.
As we arrived at Blue Moon Valley, when there came from Beijing, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Panzhihua, etc. 12 "Mix," gathered at the Inn are single backpackers, together with our boys and I have a total of 10 males and 6 females . Because now at the Geneva to Aden are roads, access only on weekends and Sundays. We all gathered here waiting for tomorrow, into the Gulf of Aden. Full two-day car travel fatigue, coupled with an elevation of 3,800 meters of climate change, I have a fever to 38 degrees, in the very old and very broken Inagi County Hospital, gave me some sort of cold, but also be sold to the I have a combined effect of altitude sickness is said to be very good to prevent oral inosine, doctors do not know why this drug can prevent altitude sickness, anyway, it is effective, because people used to say. In order to protect passenger safety, Inagi counties have also launched an unprecedented local policies to require the county to all the Tibetans are not allowed to wear knives took to the streets, this is the entire Ganzi region of this policy, the only town in the evening we walk in the Daocheng The "T"-type street, it really did not see the Tibetan knives.

16 individual "Mix", a guide, three dilapidated Beijing jeep, where many are trying to repair the steep mountain road, walked three and a half hours before they went to just over 70 kilometers away Jiva. Jiva place is very small, too worn out. Jiva until 12:30 into the path of Aden pass, and now, some sections of Fang Bao roads, very dangerous! From Aden by the people have said that. Also said that in October 2000, Guangdong Shunde, wife and their two brothers from Chengdu to Inagi, Japan watts to Aden from the way the jeep ride took place due to mechanical failure overturned, resulting in the death of his brother and brother's wife incident. Therefore, a period of time in which the tourists to enter the Gulf of Aden to sign life and death. A last resort, in the Mingzao the world's "Wizard of Aden" to eat lunch in order to pass the time. Day watts to Aden, there is a valley walk path, but also bridleways, over roads are almost certain. Three men and a woman 4 Mix and tour guides were required to remove a horse to ride seven hours (or mule) of paths, because they believe that a good trail scenery. The remaining two-seater jeep road to go, we have four people because of 3 consecutive days of hard work, have been very tired, so their car. Jiva to Aden 30 kilometers, all the decades in the growth of forests, blasting, cutting down trees made of stones and trees on the road, perhaps only be described as dirt, and disorder everywhere, workers were cleaning up road impede progress among the stones. So, cars can only be stop-go, stop-go. "The" type of dirt road from the foot to the mountainside, on the side of the cliff 100 meters, 100 meters on the side of the cliff, jeep vehicle as hanging on the mountainside in the same. As the car a serious altitude sickness in our seat of the jeep in the mountainside suddenly cease-fire three times, and we get off into the mountains to the life and death of the person to sign the reasons have more feelings. Roadside period of more than 10 years ago, a fire burned in the woods, and now the ground has grown by trees and grass, but not burn the rows of bare tree trunks to restore the kind of stands to witness the historical period of bitterness. More than 30 km road walk more than three hours, we saw the evening glow in the village of Aden, an original ancient beauty! Down the slope is the end of the car ---- Kowloon dam, suddenly, came the boom in front of a sound, the original is in front of a jeep and opened up a TOYOTA from the following off-road car hit, and even the driver, seven individuals per individual has a little injury, and some face knocked the blood, and some head from a package, and some feet were bruised, but fortunately only skin trauma.

Sky is still black, and our Director Wang (Chonggu Si camp administrator, came from Chengdu) in relation to loudly greeting we got to watch the sunrise, the results of cloud did not disperse, leaving behind a sorry!
On the 2nd camp altitude is 4100m, in order to gradually adapt to the highland climate, the decision Mix all again tomorrow at an elevation of more high camp on the 1st, today Chonggu Si and pearls in the sea. Although Mix To avoid slowing down their pace of activity, but to see the full-bodied with a mysterious Tibetan Mani Dui, hung streamers of cloth Chonggu Si bridge, there are three sacred mountains in the following forests, meadows, creeks , cattle, simple, composed of lamas and Tibetans ideal world, or could not help but jump for joy! Everyone was busy taking pictures each.
Chonggu Si means the construction of the temple in Haizi above (legend Gao Ren built on this reclaimed made), built in the Yuan Dynasty and has been 800 years before that, had temples, but not called Chonggu Si; 800 Over the years, temples one after another, but the corps has always been its failures, may be Xiannai Ri (Guanyin) do not want the world's treasure-house, next to the disturbance in her bar.
Chonggu Si is the famous Xian Nairi behind the sacred mountain, Xian Nairi (Tibetan Avalokiteshvara) elevation of 6032 meters, the summit snow, its mountain-shaped body resembles a reclining Buddha, his arms hold an enormous stupa (a smaller, pyramid-shaped mountain). Is the altitude of 5958 meters in front of the Xiajiduona Sacred (Tibetan King Kong hands). Between two mountains is a Pingdan gorges, rich meadows, during which a number of Bay, creek walk through the meantime, the stream clear bottomed out, shallowsTo a variety of plants under the action of sunlight and water, showed a variety of brilliant colors, on both sides of the valley is a lush mountain vegetation, autumn in October, green, yellow and red leaves are interlinked and colorful Ban Lan. In the two snow-capped mountains white, yellow meadows, colorful springs and blue sky background, the whole idyllic Chonggu Si. If, after heavy rain came Chonggu Si, will be your greatest good fortune, mist shrouded in Chonggu Si, like arriving in a fairy tale! This is mankind's last Shangri-la!
Xian Nairi, Yang Maiyong, Xianuoduoji 3 Kamiyama into "products" word order, its name according to legend is the closure V of the Dalai Lama, is the soul and center of Aden scenery, four seasons set of snow, is a Tibetan pilgrimage . Elevation in 6000m.
Pearl Chong Gusi to the sea from the road near the camp, the mountain takes about 40 minutes, down about ten minutes only need two. Xiannai Ri came to the foot, he first saw a piece of flat land covered with bush, the middle of a dry stream the riverbed at the bottom is the all-white stone, flat on both sides of a tall old trees Singular Guaizhuang forest. Through the right-hand side of the tall trees, deep in the jungle, pearl sea like a mirror, the lake mirrored the surrounding woods and snow-capped mountains reflection. Everything is so quiet surroundings, the silence was breathtaking intake! Mani Dui lake stood before the gaze of the magic that heaven and earth Isshiki landscape, as if shrouded in a mysterious force. Mani Dui after a platform for sitting, calm the mind, such as water injection followed the release of Xian Nairi sacred mountain lake, mouth chanting "Om Mani Bai Mi moo" Liuzizhenyan feel like being in the embrace of Buddhism among the!
Local tour guide, visitors came to the sea pearls, and only very few people think of worship in Mani Dui meditate upon the sacred mountains, feel the embrace of exposure to the magical feeling of the Buddha, if the honor to be one of them, the Tibetans will congratulate you: you There Buddhism in their hearts!
The best time to watch pearl harbor early morning and evening for as many at this time no wind, the lake flat as a mirror in the afternoon breeze ripples the lake Dangqi, everything will become blurred. For photography enthusiasts, the evening is very, very small amount of light transmission, coupled with the bright background of snow-capped mountains, in order to illuminate the lake scenery, of course, are going to test your skill of.
We sat on a big stone pearl sea above, quietly, watching the lake, watching the stream, watching cattle, watching the forest, watching Mani Dui, watching clouds drift from Xian Nairi peaks, past scenes in front of surface, everything is as superficial, and in fact that's nothing! As if their ideas with the Goddess of Mercy of the holy water and sublimate!
Mysterious disappearances of visitors right to the name C. C. Liang, 35, Zhongshan Municipal Bureau of Tourism staff, C. C. Liang rights last seen, he and five self-help travel enthusiasts came together as strangers rental of travel. They are an advertising company serving Beijing Zhong Guo locks, Yunnan Xuanwei Photographic Society and Vice-President Zhao Fan Yang Zhiqiang, Guangzhou and Hong Kong Europe Cenkang into into a standard. Newspaper reporter trying to interview by telephone to Guo, Zhao, Yang trio. Almost three issued a similar lament: "This is the original jump, and an instant disappeared, as if vapourized, like how people have accepted the reality that can not." Tripped off the lake were killed? Lost lost? Died suddenly while on the way? Frozen to death? Eaten by wild beasts? Abandoned the family? Was murder?
3 pm, everyone returned to camp on the 2nd, due to the monotony of camp life, it was decided at Kaoquan Yang, rich look. Cattle in the Chonggu Si no sheep, and Tibetan is necessary to 160 days to newborn calf sold to us, watching the cute little calf, none of us is not resolved. Warm camp bosses that they should be stocking lots of piglets in the Chonggu Si us to eat, is said to taste less like Tibetan pigs. Finally decided to look at the scenic port of Aden, the village, more than four minutes before 7 am tired and go, pulling the skin have been carried back to a black sheep, they traveled the entire village of Aden, because this is the last one village Aden sheep.
Yue 18 Ri 6 (Xingqi Er)
Today, we no longer look at the sunrise mood, and through yesterday, mutton flavor, be properly slept a Lanjue, because today's journey was hard!
9 o'clock, we finally hit the road, today we pass through gorges between the Xian Nairi and Xianuoduoji reach the Yang Maiyong camps, Luorongniuchang, and inaccessible sea and colored sea of milk. Is surrounded by a few people, but to the trees on the ground everywhere, each person picking a random side of the road the size of eggs in the branches lying on the ground to act as a walking stick. Clear bottomed out along the creek, marching winding horse Road, forest, meadow, cattle, Mani Dui, not useful in Sichuan dialect seems to be a "caterpillar fungus can not buy" and sell them to us Tibetans Chinese caterpillar fungus, with the scenery, we stop-go, stop-go, are running around snapping photos. Although we carry a heavy backpack, Bangbian not a cry to attract business cavalry, but no one tempted. 12:30 pm, and finally to reach Yang Maiyong the camp site, Tibetan attendants had prepared lunch for us, food is still very simple, but a little taste of Sichuan.
The Daocheng has been three days, strong sunshine, strong reaction to the altitude, together with Aden, the poor living conditions inside the scenic area, his face showing the elephant's backside, Gaoyuanhong monkey, lips cracking, a few days without washing their hair are also jumbled , and a friend went so far as the ears in Guangzhou had frostbite, but the ladies still have to clean some more than men!
Yang Maiyong on Luorongniuchang camp next to the foot is also a Yang Maiyong Kamiyama. After dinner we all just could not help but facing the strong ultraviolet radiation, into the Luorongniuchang. Open a small flower all over the floor, Yang Maiyong Kamiyama on the melting snow merged into streams flowing quietly, black, and flowers basking in the sun of the yak or the quiet, or quiet pasture Occasionally 12 pairs of horses in the soulful eyes are staring at, from Aden to grazing Tibetan village in the temporary hut began giving a smoke, occasionally a few hare ran stream of water, ran back to see us Youjing shortage of the woods. Yang Maiyong sharp white triangles, mountain after the blue sky, under the golden sun is more charming. Luorongniuchang out of the mountain, water, cattle and wild flowers, as well as a large number of peaks rocks, Luorongniuchang takes groups for the ganda marble, subjected to uplift and erosion with piled high and low scattered, heavy peaks love, gods, Kit Kat Tiancheng . Huangshan great charm, "Danxia" landscape. I also waved to relax in front of the crutches have been hardened cow dung on the grass facing the distant cattle playing golf.
Along Luorongniuchang drive a go, come to an end, climb the steep mountain ridge is a deserted sea-colored sea and milk. 100 people came to Aden in less than 20 people can board the altitude of 4800 meters of the ridge! Altitude of 4800 meters is what the concept? 4800 meters to 5000 meters is the rock weathering zone, there is no vegetation! is 5000 meters above the snow, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is the highest elevation of 5080 meters, it is restricted by the so-called life! where fewer people view the more the United States, this is the truth of tourism in ! The theory of these areas when I went to Inagi I do not know, I just followed Wang Dao, and Mix are a person a crutch to climb, beginning with "the" upper mountain is very steep, mountain snow-shun the way down the stream, believe it will slip. I do not know break several times, and finally climbed to a platform. Burnout Mix had to sit down and rest, there are some just above the Tibetan Cordyceps dug down in this a rest, and lost no time in issuing a simple smile to us: "Chinese caterpillar fungus can not buy five-dollar one," and finally almost everyone have bought 20 or so, of course, I also bought a 20. Buy finished, the Tibetan people and friendly to the mountains a means: "The above is a five-colored sea." I looked up along the fingers, which is the way which呀? Obviously is a nearly straight slope, slope of at least 85 degrees, the slope of the mountain there are some scattered grass plateau, slope Leg 150 meters, while in the area, temperatures plunged, cold pressing.
At this point I came to understand why visitors to the colorful sea of less than one-free! A climate of reasons, but more of a climbers will and physical reasons. Non-colored view of the sea, you will leave a lifetime of regret! Colored sea is beautiful, allowing you to fascinating, but more importantly is that when you reach the ridge 4800 meters above sea level when the true from the bottom of your heart, strong feelings may affect your life! in the present report a very high frequency Daocheng travels, whether it is newspapers, magazines or online, the milk, sea and colored the sea can be described as few and far between! can see the real brave climbers can be used as a witness.
After a brief rest, we have 16 Mix and Wang Dao eventually to the sea and milk colored sea ridge assault was launched. As the entire hillside There are no roads, so that each of us to climb the routes are absolutely different. Slanting sun shone on the summit peaks of dazzling exceptions, the more we climb, the temperature the lower the wind chill pressing more and more violent, next to from time to time to go rolling down the gravel down the slopes, although I have tight grip crutches, toe grip, or tremble with fear. In the 4800 meters climb, pull the time simply can not be used to measure, but also do not know how long climb, and finally to the most fascinating of the two Haizi Daocheng the mountain ridge. Tibetan women bent over a deep face is almost attached to the ground, she was digging herbs in Love --- Cordyceps. , In the central selling Yong Xian Nairi and two mountain ridges connected to the sea-colored sea and milk are not large; colored sea in the evening glow of the snow-capped mountains of the mapping of color like purple elephant with a blue-green again, and perhaps this is its origin. Milk sea Qingqing, very calm, said that the year Haizi of water throughout the day have turned into milk, as the same color. 2 Haizi located in the depths of Daocheng, like Meng Lali yarn pair of charming eyes! Temptation? Mystery? It is also how the uncertainty in the mind!
Night, due to no electricity, there is no entertainment, arranged the trip to end the next day, they go to bed early. 10 Mix tomorrow to continue along the path around the Xian Nairi's "Devil's Valley" Chong Gusi walked back to camp, is said to walk more than 14 hours, very tired! We have decided to return to six individuals, including Daocheng county. Suddenly, waves of mournful cry came, in the dark, was extremely quiet at night terror, Director Wang said it was a wolf called, there is a pack of wolves in the Luorongniuchang every night next to a platform called. Said to have been in the woods next to the tiger seen. Although some psychological fear, but in such an environment and conditions under which we appear to be so inability, because of fear and tired of the Hun Hun sleep.

10 Mix (four men and six women) to continue its surrounding Xiannai Ri along the "devil Valley" tour, we have six others took two hours to go back to camps and Chong Gusi for an hour then went back to the village of Aden Long dam, due to Aden to not allow the opening of the Geneva road, had rented a luggage Amato, along the Ma walked eight hours, and finally at the 18 o'clock to the Jiva. At the Geneva rented a jeep, was finally returned to Inagi 9:30 in the evening. Night, washing the United States and the United States a long absence, a spa bath, from the primitive society back to the modern civilization!
