This morning I picked the tourists up from the Zen garden Hotel then we were driving 30 munities from city to Baisha village where the hiking place. Today is a cloudy day, but I thought it was very nice, because it was suit for hiking in the mountain. I just took two tourists in this tour, they were come from England and they were Young, so I thought may be this is honey moon about them. We needed hiking 4 hours to Wenhai area today, and we were living in the ecology. On way to the Wenhai, we can see the village and city very clearly, it was very flat. But we couldn’t see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain today, because it had more cloudy surrounds the mountain. There are more rhododendrons near the road. Aroma to everywhere, the sky looks so blue. If we stand in the shady and cool place, we couldn’t want to continue hiking. When we arrived to Wenhai, it was around 3 o’clock, we were having a little bit hungry. In the Wenhai was more green now, the land was green than before, there are more houses and corns walking around the land, it looks vey
good views.
Wenhai is located in the southern slop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it is a part of lashi provincial level alpine wetland nature reserve, the elevation at Wenhai is 3100 meters, the Wenhai area is an ideal location for visitors to explore and lean about northwestern Yunnan’s dramatic geological formations and rich biodiversity the unique climate and soil in this area nourished a variety of vegetative covers and plant species, including old growth forests, shrubs and meadows. They are also unique wild flowers rhat blooming, all four season including over twenty special of rhododendrons, Wenhai is also home to a variety of economically viable mushrooms and precious medicinal herbs.
The Wenhai Lake is the seasonal lake and wetland. In the spring and summer, it is enough water. The Wenhai Lake Basin is one big grazing. During the july and August there are more water in the lake, because it is raining season. In the winter times Wenhai have no more water until to march of nest year. In the winter time more kinds of birds from Qinghai, Tibet and Siberian migrated to here. Like more black neck crane here.
There are more than 300hundred families living this
area, they are all Naxi. The people life here is very traditional. But in this area the people’s life not very good, because the altitude here was more high, so the weather and the water and soil is poor, the local people just growing more potatoes and barley, so the people have to food more animals like corn, house and yaks, it is important income for them.
We just stay one night in the ecology, and then next day we left here and went to the Tiger leaping gorge. Today we were hiking 6 hours to the main road of Longpan Township then we driving 1 hour to guest house of Tiger leaping gorge.
Tiger leaping gorge is 90 kilometer far from lijiang, tiger leaping gorge is the deepest gorge in the world. The gore is 16 kilometer long. Liger leaping gorge is between Jade dragon snow mountain of lijiang and Haba mountain of Shangri-la. The mouth of the gorge the altitude is 1800 meters, and from the mountain top to the river the distance is 3900 meters, so it is the deepest gorge in the world. Tiger leaping gorge is a world—class gorge, it is beauty, ruggedness, majestic and
splendor, it can to be divided into three sections: upper section, middle section and lower section. The upper section is the narrowest, in the middle there is tiger leaping stone in the roiling waters. This part of the river is accessible from side of the river; it is said in the ancient the tiger from lijiang side jumped to another side. Leading north from the upper section id to the middle section, there is a tiger like peak to the north of the gorge, the local people called “Hutiaofeng(thger leaping peak)the tiger string to the south, as if it is going to jump.
