Abuji Cho - The Secret Realm of the Human World

I finally got to see Abuji, a place planned to depart at the end of August, which translates in Tibetan as a magical place, located deep in the mountains of Xiaozhongdian Town, Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Before departure, I was always worried about the weather, really wanted to see the scene of the sun shining completely over the surface of Abuji Cho Lake. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, the clouds were foggy when I started climbing, and the fog was lingering, as if I was in a different world. Stepping on the soft grassland and gradually climbing, the sun also began to show its face, I saw a completely different scenery: the top of the snow mountain where no grass grows like the gray rocks and gravel in 'The Lord of the Rings' with a sense of fantasy, the fog rising from the dense forest, and the warm and comfortable endless alpine grassland. Including the guide, there were four people in the team, and I was the only girl. I joked along the way that I was a VIP, but I really benefited from the care of the guide and teammates on the road. Along the way, we laughed and talked, played music with speakers, and the guide even found wild berries under the tree for us! My knees are not good on a daily basis, and the guide always reminds me to slow down when I go downhill, and will kindly give me his knee pads. Fortunately, I finished the whole 18km (I can't justify the guide brother who helped me all the way, took pictures and persuaded me to eat) After finally going down the mountain, I looked back at the road I had come, and even I felt a bit incredible, so some roads you must walk by yourself to understand the real meaning!
