The next day, Yulong Snow Mountain, the scenery is pleasant, Yun Lan is very white, but the weather in Yunnan is one season 10 minutes. One minute it was hot and I wanted to peel it, and the next minute it was cold and I didn't have a coat. There is a man who rents a down jacket under the snowy mountain for 40 yuan. If you can't help it without clothes, you must rent it. This money can't be deposited. In addition, oxygen cylinders also suggest that everyone prepare in advance, and most people will still react, especially when they get off the ropeway. My ears are ringing all the time. It will be fine if I come down for a long time. Really uncomfortable, just get to the top of the mountain. Although the snow scene is beautiful, I heard that the snow in Yulong Snow Mountain was hit by a snowfall missile paid by Lijiang Town. I don't know if it's true or not, but there isn't much snow anyway. However, it feels good to travel through the clouds. Sometimes the clouds are clear, sometimes the clouds are overcast. The moon valley at the foot of the mountain has a good scenery. Clear water can be drunk directly, and there are several yaks for tourists to take pictures as a souvenir. Ganhaizi is the best place for the panoramic view of Yulong Snow Mountain.
Back to the ancient city, we first went to the tour group to Shangri-La and enjoyed the legendary landmark scenery of Shangri-La-the flower sea hanging on the wall in the travel agency. I can't help thinking about it. I hope I can't walk in the sea of flowers like the Monkey King. What a beautiful word!
The road to Shangri-La is a bit difficult. The whole journey takes more than four hours, and they are all mountain roads. I was really scared when I was sitting, but since I gave my life to the driver, let's trust his skills for the time being. After driving for about an hour, just as I was addicted to the mountain scenery on both sides, the driver stopped in front of a row of strawberry stalls, followed by the fields where they planted strawberries, which were just picked from the fields. They are fresh and sweet, almost all of them are bought. In addition to three aunts in Taiwan Province province and four sisters in Guizhou, there are 10 couples in our car, which are sweeter than strawberries. We had lunch in a small restaurant on the roadside, especially introducing Shangri-La food, just like copying rice in a pot. It is estimated that grandma-level people will lose their teeth after eating them, hehe, in one word-hard. There are some big and small things that must be solved after a full meal. There is a toilet next to the restaurant, and you can smell its unique smell almost 5 meters away. It's chaos anyway. Think about this condition in the mountains. If you don't go up, you will suffer. You persisted for a long time. The problem is that you have the cheek to charge 50 cents for not supplying toilet paper. What a paradise! Nobody washes their hands. . .
On the way to Shangri-La, I went to Tiger Leaping Gorge. This fast-flowing river is worth seeing. It's just that going down is very tiring, and climbing up is even more tiring. There is a local sedan chair bearer who will take you to the sedan chair. Get up 20 minutes down 100. Look at the economic situation and personal physical fitness, and do what you can.
Because Shangri-La is a place where Tibetans live in compact communities, the tour guide told us about Tibetan culture, and the most important thing is Tibetan belief: Tibetans advocate Buddhist culture, and every family has many Buddhist thangkas, which come to worship every day, and this thangka is very precious, because they go to the temple to worship the living Buddha every year. What attracts me most is the five burial methods in Tibet: celestial burial, tower burial, water burial, earth burial and cremation. Only those who have made outstanding contributions can enjoy this kind of treatment, that is, there is a special living Buddha, who first carves a ten thousand characters on his back, then digs out his internal organs for crows and vultures to peck at, and then cuts his whole body into 208 pieces for crows and vultures to enjoy. Crows and vultures are birds of God, symbolizing taking the dead to heaven. Tower burial is to dig out people's internal organs and put special and precious Tibetan medicine in their heads to prevent decay. Like Egyptian mummies, they wrapped the bodies as big as babies and buried them in towers. This is not something ordinary people can enjoy. There is nothing else to say, it's all the same.
In addition, men in Tibet can't touch their heads, because only living buddhas can touch them. You can try if you don't believe me. They will fight you to death. The horror is that Tibetan men all have knives. Once they pull it out, they will definitely see blood. Their knives are sharp and made of materials unique to Tibet, so they won't tell the world so far. They cut steel like tofu, hehe, so it's expensive to sell. You must take one back when you have the opportunity, but you can only check it, not get on the plane.
Shangri-la actually let me down. I went to Pudacuo Forest Park to see flowers, but there were none. The air is fresh, cattle and sheep are dotted on the vast grassland, and Tianhu is beautiful. But it's really cold there, because it's more than 4,000 meters above sea level. People who are weak must remember to bring oxygen bottles.
Another attraction of Shangri-La is the Zanlin Temple in Gadansong, which is known as the Little Potala Palace. There are magnificent Buddha statues, white Hada and sacred beliefs. I asked for a string of polished wooden beads there, hoping to bring myself good luck for a lifetime. This price is not necessary, I will give it according to your own wishes. I think this is quite reasonable, unlike several temples that came and went later (by the way, there are always different tour guides who come to visit us in different temples and get kickbacks from them under the guise of promoting Tibetan culture). The second temple that came and went first talked about how advanced and magical Tibetan doctors were. I admit that I was really impressed, because two Tibetan doctors told me about my physical problems after reading my palm. It shows that they are not talking nonsense, but will exaggerate a little and let me buy Tibetan medicine. I refused, and I couldn't help shivering when I heard that I bought tens of thousands of Tibetan medicine. However, we didn't escape their magic and went to another temple. Similarly, a table horse (Tibetan women collectively refer to table horse and men collectively refer to Tashi) led us to appreciate Thangka, and then said that a German monk wanted to tell us about Buddhist scriptures or something. After entering, a chubby living Buddha said some filial words, and then let us go up and get the flag, five colors, one of the four great instruments in Tibet. What is exasperating is that we later went to a Tibetan family, where a monk said that he was lighting a lamp at home. In fact, he just lit a candle and a little 200 yuan, and he fainted. The husband refused directly, and the group members in the same car were fooled. There is also an aunt who has no money and went back to the car to get the money. It was called regret afterwards, and I couldn't wait to die. Others burned matches in that mud pile to bless their families. A match costs 30 yuan, and they have to burn three more, which is no different from blatant robbery. So remind those friends who want to travel to Lijiang to learn from the past. Don't open a Tibetan medicine, hang two flags and light three candles. Anyway, if you want money, refuse it unless he has no limit and gives as much as he likes. This is in line with human feelings.
In the last two days, I went to Lugu Lake, the legendary daughter country. The weather was not very good that day. It's raining all the time in Mao Mao, and cars are always immersed in clouds, which is very dangerous. There will be mudslides rolling down the mountain at any time, and the ground is full of stones and mud. We just had a flat tire and wasted a lot of time. Half of the road is a "free massage road", with potholes in the ass and itchy back. It's already 4: 30 in the afternoon when we leave at 8: 00 in the morning. If you want to visit the Mosuo people's home, you should pay 160 yuan. (This can be discussed with the tour guide. He bid 180, and we arrived at 160. I heard that the other group has arrived at 150. We feel very bad. No, my husband and I chose to visit our home. After all, I only came once, but I still broadened my horizons. We went to a place called Xiaoruishui, and one of them was very enthusiastic. First of all, some snacks such as roast chicken, butter tea, homemade rice wine and baked potatoes were served for us. Everyone gathered around a fire to learn about their culture. Their threshold is particularly high. It is said that ghosts can be stopped outside the door. Mosuo people are matriarchal clans, and the old grandmother is the oldest in the family. Therefore, there must be an old woman's bed next to the fire. Across the bed, every household has a door to life and death. It sounds a little scary, but it's really scary. Never open this door at ordinary times. Only those who have children or die at home can enter through this door. When a person dies, it is necessary to wash the body, stuff it with medicinal materials to prevent it from rotting, wrap it into a baby's size, let the Lama cross his soul, calculate the date when he should be buried, and then take it out at the door of life and death, sometimes for dozens of days, even in summer. It scares me to think about it. Another tradition is that Mosuo people still continue the traditional wedding customs. If a boy sees a girl he likes at a bonfire party, he can squeeze the girl's palm. If a girl is also interested in a boy, he will clap his hands three times. Then the boys will prepare three magic weapons to go to the girl's greenhouse that night. One is pork belly, because Mosuo people have dogs in every household and are very sensitive. He will scream at the first movement and give him a pig's belly. The second is to imitate the barking of animals, but don't imitate the barking of dogs, because the owner will come out to watch when he hears the barking of dogs, and it is impossible to sing when he is found, but only girls know that they are lovers will open the window. The third is a knife. When other boys want to get close to this girl, they only need to see a knife hanging in the window to know that this girl is taken, so they can retreat. Only when the girl gives birth to the child can the ceremony be held, that is to say, before the child is born, no one knows who the father is. The woman prepares a chicken, a rooster and a hen. Take it to the man's house, and the man will recognize his child. Well, it's really complicated. Anyway, let's talk about their dinner Rich and fresh. After all, I planted it myself. Eat it yourself and you'll know. After dinner, put on Mosuo people's clothes, 10 yuan set, and prepare for the bonfire party in the evening. The atmosphere of the party is very good. First of all, we watched their traditional dance, which was neat and full of atmosphere. Then we dance with them, then we sing and so on. . . . . .
The next day, I went to the lake by boat. Lugu Lake is very beautiful. The water on the shore is colorful and magical, but it is raining and very cold. I rented a raincoat, and it's still cold for 5 yuan. I caught a cold when I went back to Lijiang, hehe, I really need to be careful, the weather there is uncertain. If you buy silverware, you must be careful not to buy expensive silverware. Generally 1.5 yuan is almost one gram.
I went back to Lijiang and bought some local products, ready to go home. It's 10 degrees over there and 30 degrees in Shanghai. It's really bad. ......
