The car sped along the winding Panshan highway, and the water in Jinsha River became more and more turbulent. The river is golden yellow, not muddy yellow. We first arrived at Sanjiangyuan, the first bay in China, and then passed Tiger Leaping Gorge. Unfortunately, due to the landslide caused by heavy rain, we can't see Tiger Leaping Gorge with our own eyes.
Scenery along the way: unpredictable clouds, occasional thunderstorms, new green grasslands and leisurely yaks. Besides, you will find a new house being built in the distance. Generally, it is two or three floors, wooden structure, and covers an area as big as half a basketball court. The tour guide said that there are two major events in Tibetan life. One is to build a house. Whether a Tibetan family is rich or not depends on how thick the pillar in the center of their house is. Every Tibetan family has a flag on the roof, which is also very particular. For example, if there are living buddhas or monks at home, there will be special signs or numbers. (I can't remember) The second thing is to make a Tibetan robe, which will match all kinds of precious stones, gold and silver. It is said that the most expensive Tibetan robes are valued at tens of millions. Tibetans will spend their whole lives doing these two things. In addition, it is more important to go on a pilgrimage. Tibetans are divided into three regions: Weizang, Kangba and Amdo. Weizang has the strongest religious atmosphere. Kangba Tibetans are called Jews among Tibetans and are best at doing business. The Tibetans in Shangri-La are really rich, and that house is proof. The tour guide also told a joke that Tibet independence was very troublesome in 2008, and only Tibetans in Shangri-La did not make trouble. Because they are rich, no one wants to make trouble.
Shangri-la is more than 3500 meters above sea level. After arriving at the hotel, my mother and I began to have a slight altitude sickness. We are very tired, our hearts are beating a little fast, and my mother is more serious. Dad is not wrong. When eating, the very high-spirited Tibetan song and dance performance (the Kangba people at a new height in the universe are handsome) is distracting and passable. Eating Baba for the first time. Barley flour, sugar and milk tea are mixed and kneaded into small dough, which is easier for me to swallow than those roasted yak meat that is not well cooked.
My mother's high reaction was a little serious at night, so I quickly bought two bottles of oxygen. Originally, I lay down and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, I woke up at two o'clock in the middle of the night out of breath, so I immediately hugged a bottle of oxygen like a lifebuoy, and it turned out to be an egg. Holding Baidu for the time being, I searched the coping methods of altitude sickness and found that the only thing I could do was to open the window. The plateau is still quite cold at night, and the fresh cold air will come in immediately. Mother suddenly felt much better and soon fell asleep. I have been listening to her even snoring, groggy until dawn.
Early the next morning, the tour guide began to introduce our upcoming Pudacuo National Park. The whole park is described as hiking 10 km, with an altitude of 3,500 to 3,900 meters. Many strong people finally went to the hospital, and so on ... After thinking about it, the focus was on promoting oxygen ... Mom didn't want to go at first, and now she doesn't want to go. She heard from the tour guide that lack of oxygen will kill brain cells and affect IQ. On the one hand, I don't trust my mother alone, on the other hand, I don't trust my father to go to such a big virgin forest park. What a worrying life! Haha) I didn't want to go at first, because I was still a little rebellious. Later, the tour guide arranged my mother to the tourist service center, and I decided to accompany my father to the scenic spot!
I have prepared so much just to show that entering Pudacuo is an extremely correct decision. Pudacuo Forest Park is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
Attach Shangri-La information:
The origin and historical background of the word "Shangri-La";
The word "Shangri-La" comes from a novel written by the famous writer james hilton at 1933-The Lost Horizon. According to james hilton himself, the novel was inspired by the famous explorer Joseph? Locke's description of the exploration experience of Tibetan areas in southwest China centered on Lijiang was published in National Geographic magazine. Shangri-La in the novel is described as a paradise surrounded by snow-capped mountains, rich, peaceful and carefree, where all religions coexist peacefully. Once the novel was published, it immediately attracted the attention and pursuit of the western world, which was traumatized by World War I. Finding Shangri-La became the dream of several generations of westerners. In the 1940s, Lost Horizon was put on the screen by Hollywood, and its influence expanded again. The theme song "This Beautiful Shangri-La" was soon sung all over the world. Later, Shangri-La was registered as a chain hotel brand by the Kwok family in Hong Kong, and Shangri-La Hotel became one of the representatives of high-end hotels.
Controversy about Shangri-La;
Looking for Shangri-La has become the dream of several generations of westerners. In order to develop local tourism, Tibetan areas in Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan, and even Tibetan areas in Nepal, India and other countries all claim to have found Shangri-La. However, according to james hilton's description in Lost Horizon, Shangri-La undoubtedly belongs to Tibetan areas in China. 1996, Yunnan Province called Zhongdian County, the capital of Yunnan Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Shangri-La, and cited a series of evidences: for example, many religions coexist in Zhongdian, Diqing, including Tibetan Buddhism, Confucianism, Christianity and Dongba, as described in the novel; Zhongdian in Diqing is also a multi-ethnic settlement dominated by Tibetans, as described in the novel. The gold output of Jinsha River in Diqing is the same as that described in the novel. The novel is surrounded by four snow-capped mountains, while Zhongdian in Diqing has 470 snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, of which Meili Snow Mountain is regarded as a sacred mountain by local Tibetans. The Tibetan Buddhist temple described in the novel is the Songzanlin Temple in reality. Shangri-La is the English translation of Tibetan "Shambhala". Shangri-La means "the sun and moon in my heart", and Du Zongke in Zhongdian County of Diqing is also the sun and moon in my heart. The ancient city of Duzongke is also known as the moonlight city. 200165438+February 17 the State Council approved Zhongdian County in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture to be renamed Shangri-La County. However, this did not quell the dispute over Shangri-La. In order to develop tourism in Daocheng Aden, Sichuan Province named Aden Township Shangri-La Township and added a suffix-the last Shangri-La. Tibet also claims that the real Shangri-La is in Qamdo, Tibet. And Lijiang as Joseph? Locke's base camp is in China, and many people regard Lijiang as the real Shangri-La. Finally, Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan jointly held a coordination meeting and put forward the concept of "Greater Shangri-La", including Ganzi, Liangshan, Diqing, Dali, Nujiang, Lijiang, Qamdo and Linzhi in Sichuan Province, covering almost all Tibetan areas in southwest China. Among them, Zhongdian County, the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, was renamed early because of the evidence of profit, which invisibly became the representative of Shangri-La and promoted the vigorous development of tourism in Badiqing.
Shangri-la in reality:
Shangri-La County is located in the triangle of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet in the northwest of Yunnan Province. The Tibetan language is called "Jiantang", which is said to be the fief of the third son of the Tibetan king, Batang and Litang. Shangri-La borders Tibet in the north, Lijiang in the south and Daocheng in Sichuan in the east. The average altitude is 3280 meters. Shangri-La has original ecological national scenic spots such as Duzongke Ancient City, Songzanlin Temple, Meili Snow Mountain, Yubeng Village, Mingyong Glacier, Tiger Leaping Gorge (bordering Lijiang), Bitahai, Shudu Lake and Yila Grassland, among which Meili Snow Mountain is the representative scenic spot of Shangri-La tourism, and Yubeng Village is also called the essence of Meili Snow Mountain. June to September is the rainy season in Shangri-La every year. The rainy season in Shangri-La is changeable, and the roads are muddy and landslide, which is not conducive to travel. And every June 1 1 to March next year is the winter in Shangri-La. Shangri-La is very cold in winter, with the lowest temperature reaching MINUS 10 degrees. So the best time to travel to Shangri-La is April, May and 65438+1October every year.
