【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).
