Concluding 完结篇


We woke up early in the morning to freezing cold and without water. The main supply pipes burst and rendered the whole De Qin town without water.

Many of our tour members got up as early as 5:00am in order to get a good place to watch the first light on the Meili Snow Mountain.

The view was spectacular.

After breakfast, we left De Qin for Lijiang. Again, it was a whole day bus journey covering almost 380 kms. We only stopped once for lunch.

We arrived at Lijiang at about 9:00 pm.

Early in the morning, we got up to see the first light shone on Yu Loong Snow Mountain before entering Lijiang Ancient Town.

Lijiang Ancient Town is an UNESCO listed World Heritage site situated at the foot of Yu Loog (Jade dragon) Snow Mountain. It is famous for its unique architecture, beautiful and harmonious landscape with flowing streams. 

This is my second time to Lijiang Ancient Town. I loved the lay-back lifestyle and clean environment of the town.

It was a pity that we spent only 2 hours in this world famous ancient town.

From Lijiang, we made our 400-km journey to Chu Xiong, our last destination before our flight back to Kuala Lumpur the next day (24/10/2012).

It was a wonderful, adventurous and physically grueling trip of our lives. We have seen a lot, learned a lot, and it would be cherished forever.

 在德钦,我们清早起来,非常的冷,还发觉到没有水。原来自来水输送管破裂,使到整个市镇没有水。

许多队员早上五时就起来,到酒店的天台觅个好位置,准备拍摄梅里雪山的第一道光。

太阳在七点左右就把第一道光投射在梅里雪山的最高峰。自然的美景,日照金山,就在我们的眼前出现,令我们非常大赞叹。

早餐后,我们就离开德钦,要赶大约380公里的路,到大理去。我们路上只停了一次用午餐。

我们在晚上大约九点左右,抵达大理古城。

第二天早上,我们先去观看玉龙雪山的第一道光,然后才进入地理东河古城。

大理东河古城是联合国教科文世界遗产遗迹之一,以美丽及特有的建筑风格,复杂但有序的河道出名。

这是我第二次到这古城来。我喜欢这里的悠闲生活步伐,优美的园景,小桥流水,及各种美味小吃。

可惜,我们只有两个小时观赏这世界著名的古城。

离开大理,我们直奔400公里外的楚雄。这是我们这趟旅程的最后一个停留点。隔天,24/10/2012,我们就前往昆明机场,乘机回国,结束这个旅程。

这是一个美妙,寻幽探秘,考验体能的一次旅游,看到很多,学习到很多,毕生难得,难忘,必会在我们的记忆中,永远存留,珍惜。

根据带队的张老师说,有福气的人才能够见到美丽,神圣的梅里雪山。他本身来了三次,在第三次才看到梅里雪山的真面貌。(有时被云遮住,有时气候不好,远望都见不到什么)。

梅里雪山是藏族崇敬的八大神山之首,到目前为止,是世界上唯一还没被人登上最高峰的一座雪山。

而我们却在傍晚,见到了它的全貌,在早上,更见到了第一道光洒在顶峰上,美丽迷人。。。我们真有福!

知福,惜福,享福,传福。。。阿肋路亚!
