• Exploring Budapest: Day 1 Exploring Budapest: Day 1

  • From: lavenderdays
  • Description:

    Flying all the way from Los Angeles, my mom and I arrived in Budapest at 9 in the morning - fun.  After making our way to the hotel, we ended up passing out for a good 3 hours on the extremely comfortable beds in our room.
    
    Miraculously, we were able to wake up and force ourselves to go outside and explore, despite the major jet lag. About 10 seconds after stepping outside, the blue sky quickly vanished and it started pouring so we ran into a cafe close to the hotel and hid out there for a good hour. 
    
    I was eager to try some Hungarian food so I ordered goulash soup which was really delicious. I’m no food expert so I’m not quite sure if there are several different kinds of goulash but mine had beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions in it. I’d definitely recomend trying it if you’re ever in Hungary! Unfortunately, I only ate goulash once while I was there because the rest of the week was extremely hot and who the hell wants to eat soup when it’s 90 degrees out?
    
    The rain stopped after an hour and sunshine returned so we decided to walk around the city a bit to get an idea of where everything is. We walked long the Danube River, passed the gorgeous Parliament building, and ended up around St. Stephen’s Basilica which is surrounded by beautiful shops and cafes. 
    
    Jet lag got the best of us again and we ended up returning to the hotel and falling asleep by 8:30. Yeah. Party animals.

  • From: Lux
  • Description:

    People who love the outdoors hiking all know that the Tiger Leaping Gorge is famous for its risk. On the canyon’s sides, mountains are standing high.

     

    Tiger Leaping Gorge is a canyon on the Yangtze Riverupper stream---the Golden Sands River, located 60km north of Lijiang, Yunnan. It is about 15km long. The canyon is located between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain with a series of rapids and steep 2000m cliffs.’s

     

    It has Yulong to east with snow capped throughout the year. Silver Peaks insert to the sky with absurd rocks on the mountainside. Old vines coil and wind here. 

     

    So, for I who like the outdoors, it is sure a spots that could not to be missed, even it was raining. When coming to Yunnan in the rainy season, you should prepare for the rainy weather. 

     

    How can the long and slim gorge withstand the raging water in the river? 

     

    Turbulent Jinsha River runs through the Shigu town--- the first Yangtze River bay, and makes a sudden U-turn northward from the cracks between the Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and forming of the world's most spectacular Grand Canyon.

     

    The narrowest part of the canyon is the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is said that a tiger stepping on the huge rock in the river can skip the Jinsha River.

     

    Most tourists who come to Tiger Leaping Gorge will visit the Upper Tiger Leaping Part, so, for avoiding the crowded tourists we chose to start our hiking from the middle part of the gorge.

     

    The hiking of middle gorge is from the Zhang Laoshi Lodge. Before we started hiking, the old women in the lodge asked us 10 CNY each one as passing fare, as the path was constructed by her family. 

     

    Just hiking half way, there is another old woman stopped us to ask for another 5 yuan for the passing fare. She said started from here, the way was built by her family. 

     

     

    After the hiking of the middle gorge, looking back to see the way we passed, it was seemed no as hard as imagine. 

     

    When passing the upper gorge, we saw lots of tourists, so we did not climb down to the bottom of the gorge; instead we looked down and find the scenery more momentum.

Strolling marrage, Mosuo categories, matriarchal community,  Er are all sailing atmosphere. All I am fantasizing for is just here, the incredible lake financial institution. No tale, and do not need any tale. 

    Here, I do not know how to explain it with planets, as the moments freezing tell better than any terms in my thoughts.

    This is Sanggehua, a type of plant increasing beside Lugu Pond. It is so wonderful, genuine, dance with the breeze.

    Looking at the far away natural hills in the sunlight coating with the sky, I sensed so relaxed. And the isle in the river, I did not know if it was where Stone resided in.

    Actually, there are too many terms of experts described the appeal of Lugu Pond. And the elegance even can not be described with terms. It is really a position that you can not help to shout when you were here. 　

    From Chengdu to Xichan, and to Lige, the bus run categories by categories on the hill. I was so repent that why I lost time on the way. 　

    The islands marked in the river, status in the hills, the little vessel waving on the red water, the town relaxing silently at the lakeside…. All of these are so genuine, relaxing, and images and terms in those days could not tell individuals all about Lugu Pond.  

    It was already mid-day. On level, my sight even became genuine without plenty of sunset and structures. Clouds sailing above the river seems do not want to keep just as me.
