雲南憶事（八）－瓦古

瓦古村－你的美麗我無法帶走站在離地百米的高空俯看上海的夜色，上海的夜是羽衣霓裳的。那片片燈海，如同華服上亮晶晶的珠片。在這樣的華麗之下，我是無法分辨每一戶燈光的。如此說來，即使把瓦古村和大叔家的那一盞不分晝夜常明的燈搬過來，我也無法察覺它的存在，它太昏暗，太微不足道。瓦古，又想到瓦古了。毫不誇張地說，瓦古是整個雲南行程中極為特殊的一筆，雖是意外偶得，精彩程度卻超過了後面的屬都湖和碧塔海，不僅因為她的美麗，還因為她的一波三折和凄風苦雨。我不知道，要多大比例的地圖，才能找到瓦古的身影。如果不是因為要給村裡和大叔的孫子孫女寄照片，恐� ...

和藏民一起同吃同住的日子

在這裡我只記錄了在香格裡拉與當地藏民的生活片段。 11月18號中午坐班車進入香格裡拉，入住當地最好的5星酒店。 19號我去商務中心找到藏族的工作人員，請她幫忙找一個當地中等家庭去住幾天，（其實按計劃還要坐車去梅裡雪山，但那裡已經零下19度，容易引起高原反應，我放棄了）。19號中午在酒店藏族小姐的帶領下住進一家開采石廠的老板家裡。他很面善，滿面笑容的帶我到了二樓150平米的大廳。大廳光線很暗，只開有三個小窗，吊著兩個60瓦的燈炮，牆上繪滿了藏族傳統的文飾，沒有一個地方是空白的。還有非常多的木雕，這是一個純木構造的建築，木條鋪的橫頂距地面4米上下，在火堂的 ...

雲南之行－梅裡雪山朝聖記

早就在洛克的游記《消失的地平線》中聽聞了香格裡拉的美麗故事，早就從驢友的傳頌中記下了滇西北諸湖的幽藍和寧靜，早就聽說梅裡太子雪山的雄偉與美麗，早就聽說香格裡拉藏區草原的廣闊與絢爛，早就想領略一下藏傳寺廟的神秘與威儀。瀘沽湖邂逅的那位武漢的驢友曾在飛來寺等了三天，但未曾一睹梅裡芳容的期待，那個關於日本人一到梅裡必不露臉的傳言增加了梅裡雪山的神秘。我們終於在一個陽光明媚的日子裡，在一曲《姑娘走過的地方》的歌聲中向著神山進發了。 11月2號麗江的天氣很好，藍天白雲，一路景色如畫，車一出麗江，就在路邊樹木的間隔中，時不時的看到玉龍雪山美麗婀 ...

香格裡拉行記

香格裡拉行記（11/19-20） 在麗江客運站買了10：30到中甸的車票（四歲的女兒也買了半票，坐個位），就忙著回客棧收拾，小女兒還在床上纏著媽媽講故事，被我轟起來了。 上了車，10：45才開出，司機四十來歲，車一出站手機就沒停。晃悠悠開到拉市海派出所邊，司機停車說後面有三人要並到我們車上，等15分鐘。大家下車在路邊走走，女兒對路邊餐館養的老母雞感興趣，追著喂薯片，可母雞不領情；LP坐在店家曬被子的椅子蒙著臉享受陽光。 20多分鐘後，後面的車來了，呼拉拉上了七八個，我們的車差不多滿了。車快起來了，路旁的樹葉金黃，右邊的拉市海瓦藍的，路邊有不少村民賣蘋果。 不� ...

2005-10-2 There are some kinds of traveling styles, some terms are invented by hikers, like Grade Corruption, Grade Self-Maltreated, Grade Challenge, or Grade Challenge Plus…The most terrible term should be Grade Suicide. Of course, it’s too ominous to use this term, so in fact, it is Grade Almost Suicide.Which grade is our traveling? Fortunately, we’ll show the Grade Corruption. I flew to Kunming, and then we flew to Shangri-la together. What we said Big Shangri-la includes the north-west area of Yunan Province. Narrow sense of Shangri-la means only Zhong Dian中甸 town (or Di Qing迪慶 district).Di Qing airport is very small. We spent RMB15 to take the taxi to town center.On the way from airport, we found some flamboyant red plants. The taxi driver told us ,it was “Wolf Poison� ...

2005-10-3 I got up about 6:30AM. According to the weather of yesterday, it was so hard to see sunrise. But I could not but hope that God Mountain would give me a smile. After almost one hour’s waiting, it proved in vain. Many disappointed persons gathered here, some of them set up professional cameras. Only a special funny man was shouting on the platform: Look, the peak appears. There. There…But no other people could see what he saw. Maybe he was too hopeful to see sunrise, and got hallucinosis. Sigh! I left the huge pity in this place. I don’t know when I can get here and see sunrise the next time. I bought a book of album, including 48 postcards. All of photos were extremely exquisite; I can imagine how tremendous the sunrise/sunset of Meli Snow Mountain could be. Our driver a ...

2005-10-4 According to the hiker’s recommendation which I printed before and took with, we found Qin Ke Hostel. The old town was like Li Jiang. Many old style hostels, shops were there, but not so commercialized as Li Jiang. Generally, these houses were built with wood, and curved with delicate patterns.We bought two fried cakes as our lunch, then got going to Song Zan Lin Temple松贊林寺by bus No.3. Ticket was RMB 10. You also could go into from White Tower for free. However I don’t recommend it. RMB 10 is not very expensive, and this temple is worthy of this price. Why do we save this little money and left bad impression here? We should escape only those tickets which not worthy their prices.Song Zan Lin Temple were composed of several temples, the main temples were two. We follow ...

2005-10-5Those three partners seemed more professional than us; we could judge them through their equipments. They came from Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong separately, and traversed the Hell Village a few days ago.After one and half hours, we past Tian Sheng Bridge, and got to Bi Ta Sea. We got on an environment-friendly bus, which cost RMB30.A girl introduced the sceneries along the way. From the last bus station to the lakeside, we had to walk about 1.5km plank road. What’s plank road? I know. I have read an article introducing old plank road in China in the magazine” Outdoors Explore”. Plank road is built along the cliff and water, often was made of wood blocks. In ancient time, it provided huge convenience for those businessmen or passengers. Bi Ta Sea was really worthy of man ...
