No, whether you like nature or history, Shangri-La will have something to offer. The extremely diverse primitive natural scenery here - the original forests of spruce and fir, the glaciers with memories of thousands of years, the ancient rare species of Yunnan golden monkey, and the primitive mountain cuckoo with flowers, remember the thousands of years of memories that Hengduan Mountains have passed; Rich cultural and historical landscapes - the thousand-year-old Duke Zong on the ancient Tea Horse Road, the thousand-year-old Nisi black pottery, the "Small Potala Palace" Songzanlin Temple with a history of nearly 400 years... It is engraved with the cultural context left by the ancestors on this land.
The mirror of Guanyin Bodhisattva Aden, can only appear in the dream place, finally one day, I came to her feet, see the green water inlaid between a piece of golden highland barley fields, can not stop the tears dancing. Aden is famous for the three sacred mountains of Senai Day, Yangmaiyong and Shanodoji, and there are more mysterious and beautiful Jane, Milk Sea and five-color Haizi, if you want to get close to them, you must go up the mountain. Through the jungle, the streams formed by the melting water of the snow-capped mountains sent out the sound of water, and far away you could see the snow-white pebbles covered with the bottom of the water. On the edge of the stream, there are countless small mani piles, filled with Tibetans' wishes for Buddha. Bypassing Chonggu Temple, it is very close to Jin. When I came out of the forest, I saw Jane. She was so quiet. In fact, Haizi is not big, it does not look deep, but it flashes a strange green, in the sun a wave of swaying out of the faint light, like a huge jade falling down the world, flowing bright! The green color of the water is infinite mysterious in the evening sky, and the Senaichi sacred Mountain is covered with thick snow, like the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva sitting by the lake. The lake water is like a dressing mirror, reflecting the majestic posture of the senai day, because it is stained with the immortal spirit of the sacred mountain and full of vitality. The breeze is gentle, only the prayer flags are dancing gently, there is almost no other movement, all the thoughts and consciousness are static, only feel the flow of time, the flow of the wind, if you can really achieve the heart as this autumn water as placid, maybe you can really hear the call of God. Suddenly, a little movement in the woods, a closer look, the original is a few small squirrels playing in the tree. They are not afraid of strangers, but also curious to run to the grass to pick a backpack lost on the ground, touch my feet, really funny! Can not help but sigh, the ecological environment here is well protected! And this lake, this beauty, at this moment only belong to me!
Looking for Yangmaiyong Sacred Mountain under the bright stars In order to see the majestic posture of Yangmaiyong Sacred Mountain, I and friends under the leadership of Tibetan guides, from the station, dressed in the sky full of stars into the mountain on horseback. The night in Aden was cold, and although it was summer, the water was icy. Our feet were still numb from the biting cold, wrapped tightly in our rented military coats. Along the way, the stars twinkled overhead. Living in the city for years, how long have you never seen such a pure night sky? He is like being wrapped in a boundless black brocade, surrounded by countless huge diamonds, they keep flashing, flashing... Two hours of walking is not a long time, and when we see the mountains we overlook in the day are left behind, we realize that we have come a long way. In the morning, there was no noise in the mountains, and it was very quiet, as if I had arrived on another planet. Gradually, the day is some light, a snow mountain looms in the morning fog, it seems to be around. For a long time, the eyes gradually opened up, and suddenly a group of yaks appeared in the wilderness, gathered together in twos and threes, raised his head and glanced at our group of uninvited guests, and buried in the grass to continue their breakfast. This is the down pile cattle farm. Not far away, a majestic snow mountain is like a Bodhisattva sitting in the wilderness, a trace of floating clouds winding around the mountain, that is Yangmaiyong sacred mountain! Yangmaiyong, Tibetan means "Manjusri Bodhisattva", Manjusri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom in Buddhism, and the snow peak at this time is like the wisdom sword in the hand of Manjusri Shili, pointing to the sky, ice pure, proud between heaven and earth. Excitedly, we grabbed our cameras and started shooting. Suddenly, one person exclaimed: "Look,!" The moment of looking up, a beam of golden light is sprinkled on the top of Yangmaiyong mountain, and suddenly the top of the mountain is bright. It's so beautiful! I was reminded of what Joseph Locke said: "Against the clear sky before me stands the unrivaled Yangmaiyong Snow Peak, the most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen." Yes, Yangmaiyong is also the most beautiful snow mountain I have ever seen!
Wonderland Milk Sea Yang Maiyong sacred Mountain beauty shocked me, after seeing the milk sea, I really do not know what language to describe. The milk Sea is at the top of the mountain, the road up the mountain is steep and slippery, in some places even at a forty degree Angle, snow mountain melt water flowing past, can not ride. Here the altitude is high, oxygen is relatively thin, the movement amplitude of stool is easy to lack of oxygen, we support each other to climb up, climb for a while to rest. It is not easy to climb to the top of the mountain, only to find that it is actually to the back of the Senai snow mountain, it is around us, it seems that a few more steps can climb the summit! Continue to walk into a col, suddenly feel before my eyes a light: snow mountains surrounded, mist floating, in the middle of the water was wrapped in a crystal blue Haizi, the water is showing a pale milky white. Haizi is slightly flowing, the sun passing through the clouds gently, so it is also like a jewel changes its luster, sometimes brilliant, sometimes full of light, erratic. Haizi edge is patches of grass and broken leaves, green algae moss covered on the round pebbles, like a huge mushroom, soft, like a green velvet cloth, carefully caring for this sapphire. Thick clouds and fog float around the mountains, blocking the way to come and go, and everywhere reveals a kind of artistic conception of another world. The Tibetan guide's song was loud and clear, as if it came from the sky. Milk sea like jasper inlaid in the snow mountains, pure and serene.
