Chapter 468 Entering Diqing!
After three days of trekking, Lin Ran and his party finally arrived at the border between Tibetan areas and Yunnan.
"Is this the snow mountain?"
The driver parked the car, everyone got out of the car, and Kawagebo Peak stood in front of them.
"With an altitude of 6740 meters, it is the main peak of Prince Snow Mountain, located in Meili Snow Mountain in Diqing, Yunnan Province..."
"Mouse, did you think of something?" Liu Jingfeng asked.
Hunting for dragons and finding gold is Huang Hao's area of expertise.
Huang Hao was silent for a moment and replied: "The scenery is nice, but I'm afraid it's not a good Feng Shui place for building a mausoleum."
There are ten places on the hillside that are not buried, and nine are not hidden in the steep mountains!
The snow-capped mountains in front of us are extremely steep. I really don’t know how the mausoleum was built up there.
Seeing Huang Hao's reaction, Liu Jingfeng said nothing.
I still admire his ability to read Feng Shui.
It’s just that the museum director shouldn’t lie to them.
"Brother Lin, what do you think?" Liu Jingfeng asked Lin Ran.
Lin Ran glanced at the top of the mountain and said: "The culture of Tibetan areas is different from ours. Ordinary mountains pay attention to Feng Shui, but as a sacred mountain, it already represents the best Feng Shui."
Acupuncture also depends on the situation!
Liu Jingfeng nodded and said expectantly: "That makes sense. Let's pack up and prepare to climb the mountain."
"How long has it been since you climbed the mountain? Are you risking your life?"
Liu Jingfeng felt unhappy after being scolded by the driver.
This kid always looks down on them.
They have traveled all the way, and they are still sarcastic to them.
However, he was unhappy, so Liu Jingfeng still said: "Then let's go find a hotel to stay in first."
It is really not appropriate to go directly to the mountain for a long journey.
The driver parked the car and led everyone towards the mountain village down the mountain.
Although this was not Lin Ran's first visit here, he was particularly interested in the Diqing Autonomous Prefecture in this era.
Full of ethnic minority styles, there is a small mountain village ten kilometers away from the foot of the mountain.
However, the villagers in this mountain village appear to be very hospitable.
Most of the old houses in the current village are made of wood, and the log structures can be clearly seen outside.
In the village, cows and sheep can roam freely, chickens and dogs hear each other, and everyone has a smile on their face.
This kind of pastoral scenery will not be seen here in later generations.
Because it has not yet been developed into a natural scenic spot, or people’s desire to travel is not strong.
Only during the annual practice, there will be some tourists here.
Influenced by Buddhist culture, they are tolerant of possibilities.
But the people I usually interact with are Tibetan monks, so very few can speak Mandarin.
They are now in an inn. The name of the inn is written in small seals on the door, called "Shangri-La Inn".
Shangri-La is also an important tourist attraction, and this inn has a special purpose.
Later generations directly developed into a hotel chain. As long as the name is related to Shangri-La, it means that the price is expensive!
Obviously there are tourists coming to this mountain village. After all, there are no inns in most villages along the way.
Now is the best time to check in, because the puja has just ended. If it were a week earlier, the place would be overcrowded and it would be difficult to find a bed.
The driver was negotiating the price with the girl at the front desk, and the conversation seemed very exciting.
He even turned red in the face.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jingfeng saw that they were almost quarreling and quickly stepped forward to persuade them.
"It costs ten yuan a night. Isn't this a money grab?" the driver said angrily.
The girl didn't understand Chinese and didn't know what they were talking about.
The driver said: "Let's find another place to live! It's too expensive."
Although the museum would reimburse him for the expenses, he was not willing to be taken advantage of if he had to take care of it first.
The other places to stay are the villagers' homes. After all, Liu Jingfeng and the others are not here for tourism. They brought cultural relics down from the mountain, so living in the villagers' homes is really too eye-catching.
Therefore, he immediately decided: "Let's live here. I'll pay for seven rooms."
Liu Jingfeng was so bold that the driver didn't react.
"Let me talk to him about the price again." Knowing that you don't have to pay for it yourself, and that you can get reimbursement when you take the invoice back, the driver started to persuade him nicely.
In the end, they rented seven bedrooms for 50 yuan a night.
Everyone brings their luggage into the room, which has a wooden wardrobe with a lock on it.
It seems that in the early stages of development of this hotel, they realized that guests would have the possibility to protect their privacy.
Nowadays, the folk customs are simple and honest, but if it develops into a tourist attraction in the future, people's hearts will be complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be roosters and dog robbers.
With this lock, you can safely leave your belongings in the hotel and go to scenic spots to play.
Lin Ran locked up all his things. Inside were not only the handicrafts he bought for his family, but also priceless lotus dzi beads and wooden snake carvings.
After placing the items, Lin Ran felt a little warm.
After all, we have entered the territory of Yunnan, a place where it is like spring all year round!
But the bed in the room was covered with thick quilts.
Because, there is another name here.
It’s called Spring of Four Seasons!
You can experience the rotation of the four seasons in one day, with summer at noon and winter at midnight.
The environment here is so complicated.
Fortunately, they had to climb a snow-capped mountain and had to carry heavy clothes.
Lin Ran took a sip of hot water and forced himself to lie down and sleep.
It's only 7pm now, but I have to stay strong enough to climb the mountain tomorrow.
The next morning, the driver went to handle the climbing procedures for them.
Entering Meili Snow Mountain does not require permission from the villagers.
But at the foot of Kawagbo Mountain, there are people guarding it.
After all, this is a sacred mountain, and there are still believers who voluntarily protect its dignity and prevent others from climbing it without authorization.
Someone will slip in from the side path, which is exactly what previous tourists did.
Because the tourist almost died, it caused huge losses to the mountain village.
Therefore, the supervision is even stricter now!
The driver had to go to the village chief's house to apply. Due to the language barrier, Lin Ran and others naturally did not need to accompany them. They were now sitting in the inn's restaurant enjoying breakfast.
"Why do you think ancient emperors built their tombs on snowy mountains?" Wang Jinpeng was extremely puzzled.
Previously, he thought that this snow mountain was about the same height as the holy mountain in Xuewei Village.
Only when I saw it yesterday did I realize that it was not on the same level at all.
The top of the holy mountain is not even close to the mountainside.
Fortunately, they were walking all the way to lower ground, otherwise the air might not be enough for them to breathe when they climbed to the top of the mountain.
This is an unconquered mountain. How did the ancients move the construction of the mausoleum up the mountain without mechanical equipment?
The fact that Zao's tomb can be built on a snowy mountain is truly a miraculous project!
