My winter team achieved a great success, just like the leader say ” excellent trekking”. The volunteer project in liming school is also seems ok. Thanks all guides and staff who had put effort in this field.
In fact, 4 Days of trekking is not only in Tiger Leaping Gorge. First they trek from Shuhe Ancient to Wenhai and then to Longpan. and the rest 2 days is in Tiger Leaping Gorge. I have written an article about the closure of the Tiger Leaping Gorge. It’s true and the road maintain cost lots of troubles when we run the team.
For me, I do think Tiger Leaping Gorge is not like before, and the Tiger leaping Gorge stone is not so breathtaking when you seeing it. As the government is building the water and electricity station there. It almost destroyed most beautiful scenery on the road.
One day morning, a black dog followed the Team to the Tiger leaping Gorge. my guide first thought it was a dog belongs to the horseman. And later, the local people told a story about this dog.
The dog is belong to a foreigner who is an Australian “Mar jane”(transliteration) She fell in love with a local Tibetan guy Mr.Xia in 1996 and then they get married in Lijiang. They have a hostel name “Shanquan” which is the given name of Mr.Xia. About 4 or 5 years ago, they adopted a little black dog. And they love that dog very much. However, Mar Jane died in sickness in Mt.Meili. in recent year. Since then, people find out that the black dog wait at Tiger Leaping Gorge and followed the visitors to go some part of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, especially would like to go with the foreigners.

I’m not trying to scare someone but it’s real. Or i can say that i was scared by this news when i saw the notice fax this afternoon.
This notice is published in 26th Nov, 2009. And our local agency got it this afternoon, 30th Nov. It said that since 1st Dec.2009-31st March.2010. The Tiger Leaping Gorge in Shangri-la should be closed.
It’ s a big shock to me. Yes, our winter group is begin in 4th Dec.2009, and they told me that the Tiger Leaping Gorge will closed tomorrow. It’s ridiculous and unbelievable. There is even no time for us to react anything.
However, i finally get comfort that my team is just take part in the Lijiang Section and not in Shangri-la section. So it can run smoothly and follow my plan.
Thanks God for your mercy!

here not very well! Yes, these days, i’m facing the problem of the high price quote from the Lijiang local agency. Something almost drive me crazy~ especially in my period.
Next week, i will go to Phuket in Thailand. And i don’t feel very excited about it. Bow will go to Xi’an and a terribel guy is coming. I can’t explain how terrible he is, because i have a bad feeling before he comes to my house.
I Suppose to write an article about our recent recce in Lijiang Yunnan about the Tiger Leaping Gorge. However, the passion of writing ending with the high quote and unsure things there. The terrible leader and also the terrible leader’s girl friend. I was wondering that the just came for honey moon but not do the recce for the winter team. Well, let’s get back to the winter tean.
They told me that one team prefer camping while the other team prefer hostel. There are limited hostel in the Tiger Leaping gorge in each station and the dame host told the leader whenever the team comes, they will give the price 25RMB/PP for one bed. He didn’t mention that when the high season is coming, there is no swear anymore.
I hope i can handle this thing well this year, and i won’t want to suffer a lot because of the other people’s fault.
