4 月 Saturday, 28 clear
7 点 30 starting to toll station, the administrator to see we are all elderly, care for the three of us Buy two tickets, we are full of excitement, longing and unease across the canyon bridge.
we are happily moving forward. Fuduo Jie is a small back lovely children, Chinese, .17-year-old is also understood that Age is a fun good move quickly and we got to know each, carrying a large bag to walk, bounce, and flexible like the antelope, the brightness of a voice from time to time. We go inside along Palongzangbu River Gorge , large flowers floating in the blue sky and white clouds, white horses turned over the river rapids, dense forests the birds are singing, winding forest roads, on both sides full of unknown flowers, butterflies fluttering in the flowers. Today's weather also especially to take care of us, the sky was clear and sunny, but walking in the forest paths do not think too much coverage in the tree-lined drying and comfortable. all spirits, chatting and laughing, walking briskly walked from time to time with the telescope around a giant hornet arouse our interest, read a long time, and still stop, according to the next plants, small Dorje picking wild strawberries in the grass and wild fruits for us, sweet and sour, tastes great the.
Dorje although small to understand a little Chinese, but no sense of a little sense of distance and time, and asked him how many kilometers away, to go long, are hard to explain, saying only that today can not reach Zhaqu, Yumei only to the village, but we are going to Zhaqu the .12 confidence point we found a piece of land sit down dinner, we took the hard tack, sausage, meal and move on. At this time we are out of the woods, through the beaches and onto the mountain path. mountain cliffs on both sides, the path in the hillside, the road is narrow, a person must meet two people close to the mountain, the following is a deep abyss. two in the morning met a few of the villagers came from Zhaqu village, carrying a long row of bluegrass to go, we asked them the distance they have to say Yumei village three hours to three hours Zhaqu but also total to six hours. You quickly go, eight more to go to. We heard a little bit discouraged, decided to walk to see. then the question arises, I and old wounds Laoping leg attack. calf muscle strain, walking on level ground and Singapore is also the line, downhill to severe pain, we significantly reduced the speed of walking. way more and more difficult to walk, steep hills without any vegetation, all bare sand, a lot of debris flow, landslide, in some places after repair in some places to continue to decline, has no road, passing to hands and feet, many times are small Duojie La me before. After a while Feng was the first large-scale landslides have passed, shouted: standing on my nest feet away. can he lift knee, foot nest was quicksand fill up. I dare not scraps, incredibly smooth look, or carrying a large bag over Dorje, backward, pulled me over. Laoping in front too was born in the back, see all thrilling. they are out of the 38th Army special forces, take this road is not a problem, but again they also have difficulties with people, in fact, not too afraid of my heart, because I can not see , only to see the immediate place to stay, they can see into the abyss below, slipped and lead to disastrous consequences, if not small Duojie La me today, I passed it will be difficult. In the past a bit physically and mentally exhausted after all, and no ambition to Zhaqu, and today the village went to the Yu-mei.
five o'clock we go tired, sit down and rest, Dorje told us to live leech area in front of you to be careful. a good day today, leech little leech favorite wet. We prepared a hurry, walking in the road central, so that our pants, clothes, walking sticks, and water bottles were glued on the leech, our baby koala is incredible, the body quite a few to climb, not a good pick. six thirty after a large sandy beach, small Dorje told us, Yumei village is coming, the village has his cousin can live in her house. Yumei Village is on the way the larger village, the village Only a few households, very primitive, but at least there is electricity, where abundant water resources, investment in each country have built a small hydroelectric power stations. we walk the venues tend the cattle into the Dorje cousin home garden, where The practice is in front of the bullpen, followed by the home to a house, above ground, the following are animals who of the world, all the activities of people in this room.'s cousin called Tashi Dorje Yangzom, do not proficient in Chinese, thanks to Dorje as a translator. give us pour hot water wash feet, bored with the pressure cooker pot of rice, vegetables and potatoes only, for fear we do not consistently eat food they do, let me cook. I was the first a cooking pot with a large wood, that does not hold, we say delicious fried finished, I know we all hungry. After dinner the good things in, covered mattress on the floor, then covered with moisture-proof pad, sleeping bag when open quilt can lie down to sleep. then not put out the kitchen fire, the room feels a bit smoky, late at night put out the fire, and the room a bit cold, but also make do, and just do not sleep recover from fatigue, leg pain is also not been alleviated.

koalas in the wild in the morning run, I do not know to insect bites or let poisonous plants sting, the right front leg was not landing, did not dare to touch people, tilted legs, touched on the pain of the screaming, looking very miserable. I had to put it in the bag, carrying away. think of yesterday too raw to camera, to be stung the leaves of a plant, the result today, still a little numb hand, this leaves a very sharp serrated edge leaves the surface pores as long as many holes, stung look, Huoshaohuoliao of pain, 'll be numb.
we climb along the rugged mountain, has been at the cliffs, the following is a deep abyss. in a bad place to go are small Duojie La me, I have been carrying Koala, more than two hours away. ten o'clock to put it down, start it was not holding the legs and slowly began running a few steps away. and turn a few big bend, pass in front of exposed sharp mountain top, Dorje told us it was Namjagbarwa, we extremely excited, and quickly photography, different angles and in different posture, really strange things. We took a lot of phase, and suddenly felt a little wrong, Canaan Bawa in the mountains of the south, and have introduced a lot of information can only be seen in the Zhaqu Namjagbarwa a jian, but whatever the mountain as long as the United States on the line, and later asked the villagers realized that this is the Niagara white base. < br> We continue to move forward, down the mountain is a forest, but also a leech area. where the leech more, am more humid forest, and we go sweating, leech could smell the sweat, like injected excitement economy, one by one are upright, the leaves on the fly, ready to stick to the people. We try to walk in the middle of the road does not touch the leaves, holding alpenstock open, stick a leech on both the Muddy, also have pants, backpack, legs, arms have been a leech bite. finally out of the leech area, blocking the path in front and a big snake, big Yizu thick arm with children, one meter long, very bright green We dare not disturb it, takes out his camera camera and watch it slowly swim away. for fear of koalas in the past, and snakes fight, and quickly picked him up, and found two bulging mouth it has a big leech saturated with blood, into two large blood, bloody mouth, the leech Jiu Xialai up to it, and check who was bitten on the buttocks of fresh bloody, six out of toilet water all while Kuangpen God, but the koala who long hair, spray on the outside is useless, no matter useful to useless, will not go down to spray on the leech drilled. This is our guest house proprietress in the long row of us, that the wind spirits, itching solution to no avail Only six of God toilet water spray, leech will drop.
11:50 Zhaqu us to the village, the village is very small, a dozen families, all doors Palestinians, they are the relatives, but lived very dispersed. the village with the exception of women, elderly and disabled, young adults can not have any, are to go out into the world, so now back husband are easy to find, increasingly high prices. This hotel was built specifically for tourists, a row of cottage, four or five houses, each four beds, all cable-bed, when a guest does not, bedding is new. 30 per person to stay, eat another, from a variety of camp.
release We went straight to the Grand Canyon a good luggage viewing platform to watch the Brahmaputra fed up with pagodas. small Dorje only ten minutes to tell us the way, good way to go, and he did not go with the three of us went to the koala. no did not think the viewing platform marks, looking for a long time can not determine where that location is not always ideal, the results went back to the village called on Dorje, in fact, we have found a viewing platform, the streamer is the best mark. where Brahmaputra is fed up with pagodas look very spectacular, but our camera angle is not wide enough, it should not be completely photographed some regret, we hope to find a better location.
returned to the village we went to the villagers homes, it is Dorje's uncle home, still the same, the house was built very high, the following are pigs and dogs and sheep in the world, above the place of human activity, a young and old, eating and drinking to sleep are all here. Dorje took us up, this in the village is still relatively rich, relatively spacious house, the door hung the whole fan pickled pigs. the owner is very warm, beckoning us to sit, but do not know Chinese, can only rely on Dorje as a translator. We drink the brew of their own barley wine the flavor is very pure, and drank their butter tea, this bit is not used to drinking. leave it to sit for a while, returned it and found that the koala a bit wrong child, I picked him up and turned over to look shocked, stomach with blood Jiaba, who is also the Jiaba so leech bite, looking distressed and sad people, unlike people, who have leech can see, and quickly take measures, it is the body hair, has been sucked into leech his fall full of blood, wound end up with scars, can touch. its own without any defenses. Later the villagers told us that the rainy season can be stung dog died in the leech Valley, chaos in the grass because of its expertise, leech are sticky on it, and was leech sucked to flow of blood. I think it is old in the body licking, a closer look only to find one that fell from the koala red thumb thick leech, the body flow of blood. bed sheets, bed was a large blood-stained, and quickly cleaned the wound with iodine to it, frightened old lick, wrapped with gauze, like a wounded soldier. again sheets, mattress clean, riding with the sun, on the outside 'll be done.
