Yunnan Trip – Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, 玉龙雪山
在云南的第六天,也是在丽江的第二天,这天的主要行程就是上玉龙雪山,我最最最期待的景点。一起床,就马上拉开窗帘看看雨停了没有。天啊!还在下雨!肯定看不到雪山了,失望!
6th day in Yunnan, also 2nd day in Lijiang, our main trip is to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a place that I most most most looking forward. Once I get up from bed, I quickly pull of the curtains to see if the rain stopped or not. Oh my god! Still raining! Means I couldn’t see the snow mountain certainly. Sad!
吃完早餐,我们就上车前往玉龙雪山。在车上,我赶紧为我的镜头做个临时雨衣,不然就没办法拍照了。
After breakfast, we get into our coach and heading to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. In the bus, I quickly make a temporary raincoat for my lens , otherwise can’t take photo in the rain.
很快,我们来到了玉龙雪山半山。在这里,我们必须搭玉龙雪山的环保巴士前往大索道乘坐缆车上玉龙雪山。
Just a while, we had reach mid of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. From here, we need take the Green Bus (Environmental Bus) to cable car station and take cable car to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
玉龙雪山,位于玉龙县以北15km处的白沙乡境内。它位于中国云南省丽江西北,呈南北走向,东西宽约13公里,南北长约35公里,与哈巴雪山对峙,汹涌澎湃的金沙江奔腾其间。全山13峰、峰峰终年积雪不化,如一条矫健的玉龙横卧山巅,有一跃而入金沙江之势,故名“玉龙雪山”。玉龙雪山是纳西人民心中的神山,是“三朵神”的化身。
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain consists of 13 peaks and their average altitude is more than 5,000 meters (about 16,404 feet). The distance from north to south of this incredible mountain is about 35 kilometers (about 22 miles) and the distance from east to west is about 20 kilometers (about 12 miles). There is snow all the year round on the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. From a distance it looks like a dragon flying among the clouds, hence its name ‘Jade Dragon Snow Mountain’. It is the soul of both Lijiang City and Naxi nationality.
玉龙雪山的主峰是扇子陡(我们到的山峰),海拔5596米,是世界上北半球纬度最低、海拔最高的山峰。由丽江平原中看扇子陡,像是一座竖立起来的银铧。攀登上白雪山来看它,像一把白绫折扇展开在那里,所以有扇子陡和雪斗峰之称。其实,扇子陡仍是一个处女峰。由于此峰陡峭,至今仍未有人能征服得了它。也因此,人们对这神秘的顶峰产生各种想象。
The main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is Shanzidou (the peak we visited) which looks like a brave and mighty warrior with beautiful armor. There is frozen ice on its top and thick forest in the middle of the mountain. However at the foot of the peak, people can enjoy the tender touch of spring almost every day throughout a year. In fact Shanzidou is still a virgin peak. Nobody has ever climbed to its top because of its steepness and that’s why it arouses so many people’s imagination.
这山上还真的很冷!再加上下着毛毛雨,真的是“雪上加霜”啊!爬到一半,就买根热香肠暖暖身!
It is really cold up here! With the drizzle somemore, getting more cold! So, I bought a hot sausage to warm up body!
我和太太一直往上爬,但由于时间不允许,到达海拔约 4600 米左右就下山了。
Me and wife keep climbing up, until about 4600 meters from sea level, we have to come down due to time constraint.
我们只在玉龙雪山逗留约一小时,因为山上氧气稀薄,所以不能逗留太久。看不到雪山是最大的遗憾!
We only stayed in the Yulong Snow Mountain is about an hour, because the mountains oxygen thin, it can not stay too long. Felt very sad because didn’t see the snow mountain.
