是晚,我們用了晚餐之後,就去參加當地的摩梭傳統篝火晚會。如今,篝火晚會成了收費的觀光表演節目,家家戶戶都派年輕人來參與表演,讓來瀘沽湖的遊客現場感受摩梭人的民俗風情。以前,篝火晚會是年輕男女開始走婚的途徑之一。在跳舞的當兒,阿哥可以趁著拉手的機會,輕摳心儀的阿妹的手心,阿妹若也有此意,就回摳阿哥的手心,晚會後,阿哥阿妹可以相約到阿妹的花樓談情說愛。現代的阿哥阿妹都有手機,要傳情通訊應該是比老一輩的人來得方便多了。 In the evening, we went to Mosuo bonfire party. This’s a party for single men en women, not only dancing and singing round the fire, but also to look for their partner. During dancing hand in hand together, a man would scratch the hand palm of a woman gently and secretly to send his…

【China。七彩雲南】20140726。瀘沽湖與神秘女兒國 Lugu Lake & The Women’s Kingdom

來到秀麗的瀘沽湖,讓我們對神秘的女兒國有了進一步的認識。瀘沽湖位於雲南省與四川省之間,湖邊的居民以摩梭人為主。摩梭人屬母系社會,女性當家,男不婚、女不嫁,有走婚的習俗。我們因第二天得提早啟程回麗江,遊瀘沽湖的行程就只選了坐豬槽船遊湖及晚上的篝火晚會。雖然沒有環湖,錯失了好些景點,但還是不虛此行,收穫不少。 During our visiting at Lugu Lake, we learn more about the real Women’s Kingdom. Lugu Lake is located on the border between Yunnan Province and Sichuan Province. The main inhabitants here are Mosuo people, who still remain their traditional culture and matriarchal society structure. There are no marriage and women play a main role in…

【China。七彩雲南】20140726。麗江-瀘沽湖 Lijiang to Lugu Lake (1)

接著的五天,我們大部分時間都在路上,翻山越嶺,往海拔高度越來越高的目的地前進。因適逢雨季,許多路段塌方中斷,我們每天得繞遠路、走更險峻顛簸的山路。幸運的是,我們平安地走完每一段路程,也有緣欣賞更多迤邐的景色。26日,我們從麗江往寧蒗瀘沽湖去參觀高原湖泊和女兒國(摩梭文化),27日原路折返麗江,因省道有塌方,我們得繞鄉道,還得在12-14點之間經過阿海電站附近的施工地帶,時間抓得緊,沿途沒什麽停車休息,但風景超讚,尤其是綠油油的梯田,讓人驚嘆這蓄水造田的智慧和它造就的景觀。 The coming five days, we were travelling to higher and higher destinations. Due to raining season, many main roads were broken by landslides, and we needed to spend more time on the secondary or county roads to reach our destinations. But, to be honest, the scenics of the alternative ways were even more interesting…

【China。七彩雲南】20140725。束河古鎮與麗江古城 Shuhe Town & Lijiang Old Town

束河古鎮雖小,但可媲美麗江古城。這是這天的最後一站,導遊趕下班,我們只草草地參觀了這古鎮。說實在,這天的行程過於緊湊,若能縮成藍月谷、白沙壁畫和束河,在束河古鎮賞了夜景再回去會更完美說。 Shuhe Town is a small old town with comparable scenes as Lijiang Ancient Town. This’s our last destination of the day.

白沙古鎮是麗江土司木氏家族的發源地,也被稱為納西古王國之都。在宋元朝代,這裡曾是繁榮的政治、文化及商貿中心,如今旅遊業蓬勃發展,鎮上新穎的建築還不斷地在建,殘留下的歷史古蹟就以大寶積殿的白沙壁畫成了最重要的旅遊景點。我們在鎮上的納西餐廳吃了午餐,就去參觀傳統的納西手工刺繡。這家族世襲精傳刺繡的手藝,繡出來每一件作品都像細膩的工筆畫。然後再去參觀白沙壁畫,及在文昌宮的木氏土司歷史文化展。 Baisha (White sand) Town is one of the oldest towns in Lijiang. It’s the earliest settlement of Naxi people and the birthplace of the Mu Family which has ruled Lijiang in 14th century. Nowadays Baisha Town is famous with Baisha’s murals (more info: click here).

【China。七彩雲南】20140725。麗江東巴谷 Dongba Valley, Lijiang

麗江的東巴谷景區是這天的第二個景點。東巴谷位於玉龍雪山腳下,是個在造山運動中形成的斷裂谷。這裡是納西族的東巴文化之發源地,東巴文字也是現世唯一還活著的象形文字。這景區不大,主要介紹東巴文化和裸美樂大峽谷的景色。我們在雨中匆匆地走完景區,全程不到一個小時。 Dongba Valley, where the Naxi’s Dongba culture began, is our second destination of this day. Dongba’s hieroglyphs is the only hieroglyphs that still in use nowadays. The scenic area introduces the Dongba’s culture and the Luomeile Grand Canyon, and we spent about an hour to finish the tour in rain.
