"When you were writing the PPT, the cod in Alaska was jumping out of the water; when you were reading the report, the golden monkey in Meili Snow Mountain had just climbed to the top of the tree; when you squeezed into the subway, the mountain eagle in Tibet had been hovering in the clouds; At that time, Nepalese backpackers sat by the fire with wine glasses together.
There are some roads you can't walk in high heels; there are some air you can't smell when you spray perfume; there are some people you will never meet in the office building. "
Whenever I feel anxious, I will think of this passage and remind myself that it is time to go out for a walk. Traveling as soon as you say it is actually not difficult. Many people feel that there are too many things they can’t let go of. They turn themselves into a snail with a heavy shell, and they can’t fly high or go far. How important you think you are, as if the whole world stops turning when you leave, in fact, even if you disappear, everything is just as good.
My friends all said that they envied me and left as soon as they said it. In fact, as early as 16 years ago, they planned to go. In the end, they felt that the schedule was difficult and let it go.
This trip is very short, so short that most of the time is on the road, but the degree of pleasure is not simply measured by time. In just five days, I had a lasting and wonderful psychological feeling.
DAY1: Jiaxing - Shanghai - Kunming - Shangri-La
I was still busy filling out the forms in the office at noon, and embarked on a journey in the afternoon. Take the high-speed rail to Hongqiao Railway Station, then walk to Hongqiao Airport, where the plane takes off on time and transits in Kunming.
I enjoyed the time on the plane very much, because this is a rare time and space isolated from the world, without all kinds of disturbing information. Excluding the meal time, I read "1984" in more than 2 hours.
The transit time at Kunming Airport is 2 and a half hours. I walked around casually, had dinner (I ate on the plane, and I was hungry again), and then got into "Friends Sing" and sang alone for half an hour. It doesn't matter if the singing is ugly , I get along with myself, in addition to joy or joy. Not bored either, only bored people are bored.
Arriving at Shangri-La Diqing Airport was 29 minutes earlier than expected. Since then, I have been giving myself psychological hints: good luck!
The inn booked by Ctrip (Shangri-La Jitang Deji Inn) is a self-renovated inn. The yard is full of flowers and plants, so you can fall asleep after a day's trip.
DAY2: Shangri-La - Deqin - Feilai Temple
I got up early and had breakfast with the proprietress of the inn, a typical Tibetan breakfast, and drank very delicious buttered tea. The boss sent me to the passenger terminal, bought a bus ticket to Deqin (9:20), and set off again.
The speed limit of the shuttle is 70 yards, and it drives slowly. Anyway, I am not in a hurry, listening to music and watching the scenery all the way. The road repair is much better than when I went there many years ago. The road surface is smooth and guardrails have been installed on the outside of the winding mountain road. The weather forecast was rainy, but it unexpectedly cleared up. When we arrived in Deqin (about 4 hours), we were about to get off and find a car to go to Feilai Temple, but the driver said that those who go to Feilai Temple don’t need to get off the car. Unexpectedly good luck, and paid 5 yuan I went directly to Feilai Temple without changing my seat.
Feilai Temple is still as it is in memory. Meili Snow Mountain is close at hand, but it hides shyly in the clouds, looming for a while. I am very happy, after all, I have already prepared for the worst, and I am lucky to be able to see the blue sky and white clouds.
In the evening, I found the shop where I used to eat the stewed chicken with matsutake that I had never forgotten many years ago. Unfortunately, the shop is still the same shop, but there is no matsutake. This year's fresh matsutake was unearthed later than in previous years. Changing to the house next door, only last year's matsutake dried, it is also considered enjoyable, one person ordered a pot of matsutake stewed chicken. Facing the snow-capped mountains, how many people have experienced the wonderful feeling of eating delicious matsutake stewed chicken? Some friends said that they can buy it and take it home to eat. What they don't know is that only when they taste the real deliciousness here and now. As Bai Yansong said, the sheep from his hometown in Inner Mongolia were transported to Beijing and cooked in the same way, but the taste was not right at all, because the air above had changed. This is not hypocritical, the air is different, the mountains are different, the water is different, the mood is different, and the feelings are also different.
After eating slowly for an hour, my stomach was about to explode, and there was still a lot left in the pot. The boss saw that I couldn't eat anymore, so he said: Why don't you keep it for you, and add some rice noodles for breakfast tomorrow morning, and it would be a waste to throw it away. Hastily put down the chopsticks gratefully.
At night, it rained, and the altitude sickness caused a headache. After taking painkillers, I fell asleep with the sound of rain.
DAY3: Feilai Temple - Mingyong Glacier - Feilai Temple
The sunrise time is 6:34, I set the alarm clock, got up and went to the balcony to rub my eyes and saw that it was still white, so I lay back to sleep and returned to the cage. It was almost 9 o'clock when I got up again, and it was still a vast expanse of whiteness.
I went downstairs and ate rice noodles boiled in matsutake chicken soup. Because it was stewed for a long time, it was more delicious than the night before, and I added a pot of buttered tea, tsk tsk tsk...
Anyway, idle is idle, and the snow mountain can't be seen, so I hired the hotel owner's car to go to Mingyong Glacier. Along the way, the sun showed its face again, getting closer and closer to the glacier, imagining the feeling of climbing the glacier, and I was very happy. As a result, I finally drove to the entrance of the glacier scenic spot. The administrator said that the road was washed away by heavy rain overnight, and the scenic spot was temporarily closed for safety reasons. Just missed it, leaving regrets.
Along the way, the boss told me some interesting stories about backpackers. Thinking back, I vowed to write a novel a few years ago, and when I reached 10,000 words, I happened to write Meri, and then I suddenly lost my inspiration and gave up. In fact, the road is just a book. The more roads you travel, the more materials you will accumulate in your heart.
On the way back, the boss asked me if I had walked down the mountain of the Feilai Temple Scenic Area. I was very surprised. I went in and out of the scenic spot seventy or eighty times, and I never knew that there was a road around the mountain. He said that it takes about 3 hours to walk, and if you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk. So, in my afternoon, I was walking alone on this mountain road. Turn on the music, accompanied by the sound of chanting, surrounded by the high sky and mountains in the distance, quietly appreciate the natural beauty of this world, if there are any troubles in the world, at least at that moment existing.
It took more than 2 hours to walk for a distance of almost 8 kilometers. Even so, I didn’t feel hungry. The butter tea was really effective in replenishing physical energy, and the natural calories were super high.
Back at the hotel, it started to rain again. After taking a shower, I found that I didn’t even bother to go downstairs for dinner. I wasn’t very hungry anyway, so I went to bed early.
DAY4: Feilai Temple - Deqin - Shangri-La
I still woke up before 6:30, wrapped in a down jacket and waited for the sunrise on the balcony of the hotel. Although it wasn't raining, the clouds were thick. The clouds in the early morning flow quickly, and it is spectacular to shoot in slow motion. After waiting for a long time, I always felt that I could see it in the next second, but a large cloud passed by again. Unable to see the true face of the snow-capped mountains, I packed up my luggage and prepared to catch the 8:30 shuttle bus back. Before going out, I glanced out of the window unwillingly, and saw a rainbow! I rushed to the balcony to take pictures, thinking that good luck is about to come, why not wait, maybe I can see it?
The strange thing is that the closer to noon the clouds become lazier, hovering in the mountains for a long time, well, the probability of being able to see the holy mountain during the rainy season is very low, at least I have been here, and I have felt such a beautiful expectation The mood is enough.
At noon, I went downstairs and asked the front desk of the hotel if there was a car to Deqin. The front desk said it was a bit late, and the pilgrims had already returned, so they had to go to the entrance of the scenic spot to see if there was a chartered car. The cost was about 40 yuan. When I walked to the scenic spot, I saw a taxi parked. I asked if I would go to Deqin. I said yes, and then I asked the price. It was 10 yuan. I was very happy. It was a taxi that was going back. Two girls were picked up, and they had been waiting for half an hour, just to go back. Good luck.
During the four-hour journey, I plugged in the earphones and completely emptied myself. The single looped "Flying Far Away". , the sun or the wind, I don't care; the rose on the roadside, bright red and pure, turns off the phone and cares who he is, don't care about right and wrong, from dawn to dusk, never feel Exhausted... If you fly against the wind, look down at how beautiful the world is, let your troubles fly away, ignore it, and comfort yourself. If you still have dreams, chase them, at least you will not regret it, chase them bravely against the light, and fly away , let’s just go once…”
Arrive at Shangri-La, the inn is in the ancient city of Dukezong. After putting down the luggage, we wandered around, went to turn the prayer wheel, and ate Tibetan food. Wandering to the open space in the city, I found that the locals were dancing Guozhuang dance in a circle. The brisk rhythm and joyful atmosphere made people very infected. I left my backpack in a small shop next to it and joined in. I don't have much dance ability, and I can't keep up with the complicated dance steps at all, but I still feel very happy. It's hard to put into words the feeling, it's a rare feeling of complete relaxation and immersion, the sweat drenches the clothes while bouncing and jumping, but it still feels as if I can keep jumping like this until the end of time...
When we got back to the inn, it was already completely dark (sunset was not until 8 o'clock in the local area), and it was almost 10 o'clock. After putting down the backpack, I went downstairs and drank a few cups of tea with the innkeeper. The boss is from Dalian. He said that he has special feelings for Tibetan areas. He has traveled almost all the Tibetan areas in China. He feels that the Tibetan areas in Shangri-La have relatively the best living conditions, so he settled down.
Going out, you will find that there are so many different people in this world with different lives.
DAY5: Shangri-La - Kunming - Xingqing - Shanghai - Jiaxing
The ancient city of Dukezong at 6 o'clock in the morning is quiet and quiet, only people like me are on the road. It was not yet 7 o'clock when we arrived at the airport, the small airport was pitch black, and the doors had just opened. It took less than 15 minutes to complete the formalities and arrived at the boarding gate, and then it was a day of trapeze life.
I saw a beautiful sea of clouds on the plane, and I said to myself that every day is lucky. There was a little disappointment on the way home, but more expectations for the future.
Five days is really short, but the aftertaste in my heart will be very, very long. Life can be long or it can be short.
"Everyone dies, but not everyone ever really lives."
