China - Yunan Trip Part 5

Day 5
Before you guys forgot, here is a recap.
By the end of Day 4, we have already entered a new place called 丽江.

丽江 is famous for its snow mountains. All year round, the mountain peaks will be covered with snow, regardless of the weather or season.
This mountain is called 玉龙雪山.
For your information, this mountain although not as high as the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, NO ONE has ever climbed this mountain and reached its peak before. There have been lots of attempts to conquer the mountain, but all of them end up as failure attempts. So till this day, 玉龙雪山 is still a "virgin" mountain.

Today, we set of to take a look at 玉龙雪山. If you ever come to 丽江, 玉龙雪山 is a place where you must come and visit.


On our way to visit, 玉龙雪山. Picture taken from the bus window.

After we reached the destination.
The first part is to take these buses for the first part of the journey.


The scene as we alight from the bus. Pretty right? Mountains and Clouds!!!

2nd part, we have to do some hiking. And while hiking, we saw these cows, They were like so close to us lor. Haha.




Me, taking a picture with the beautiful scenery as the background.


After that, we went on to see other attractions there.





Down here, you can actually ride these cows up the 梯田. Though it looks quite cute, but these cows are really too smelly. Haha. That's why i dun dare to ride on them.

Saw this flowers growing on the trees. Pretty right?

More Beautiful scenery.....
The Water, Mountains, the Clouds.....




All of us were simply so excited when we finally saw these.
The 玉龙雪山 showing its snow peaks. All of us "Chiong" to take pictures.
Really really beautiful.




Then after we had lunch, we headed down to a special place to watch an open aired live performance directed by the very famous 张艺谋. The show is called 印象丽江. Just look at the set. Very special.
The set uses the 玉龙雪山 as the back ground. A performance that is close to nature.

Pictures taken during the performance....




They even have waterfall as special effects.

Halfway through the show, the snow peak showed itself again.
We are so lucky!!!


I managed to video down one part of the show. Enjoy!!!!


After the show, while going to our next destination, we saw so many people gathering around the side of the road. Well the Olympics Touch happens to arrive a few days later so these people are gathering around for rehearsals.
And we, the tourist from Singapore of cos grabbed this opportunity to take pictures.




Our next destination for the day is 丽江古城.
Wah this place is really quite happening, i must say.




Very pretty place right? Well i happen to see this halfway through my trip.

These weird characters are actually their languages.
Sort of ancient language like that.
The amazing thing is that it is still in use till this day.

丽江古城 is its day and night time is really completely different.
Here is 丽江古城 at night....



And there lots of pubs and bars are opened here at night.
So its literally the Zouk or Mohammed Sultan of 丽江.

I happened to see this small little girl dancing to the music that is playing. I find it so cute!!!
So decided to video it down. Haha.
Part 1

Part 2

So cute right? She is like totally not shy lor. And dun care what other people think, she just want to dance. I guess she will be a good dancer in the future.

Thoughts and Reflections:
The clouds, the mountains and the snow peaks feels so totally unreal. As if it came out from a Chinese Painting.
At some point of time, i felt that i am in Heaven. But i guess Heaven is even more amazing, more beautiful and more spectacular than what i saw.
It sort of lighten up my moody spirits.

That the End of Day 5.

☆:
如果海会说话
如果风爱上砂
如果有些想念
遗忘在漫长的长假
我会聆听浪花
让风吹过头发
任记忆里的爱情
在时间潮汐里喧哗
非得等春天远了夏天才近了
我是在回首时终于懂得
当阳光 再次
回到那飘着雨的国境之南
我会试着把那一年的故事
再接下去说完
当阳光 再次
离开那太晴朗的国境之南
妳会不会把妳曾带走的爱
在告别前用微笑全归还
海很蓝 星光灿烂
我仍空着我的臂弯
天很宽 在我独自唱歌的夜晚
请原谅我的爱诉说的太缓慢
当阳光 再次
回到那飘着雨的国境之南
我会试着把那一年的故事
再接下去说完
当阳光 再次
离开那太晴朗的国境之南
妳会不会把妳曾带走的爱
在告别前用微笑全归还
