The news was updated on June 21, 2019.

It was in a kitchen. Two Tibetan women were busy cooking. One in blue was cutting the pickled pork ribs, which were put into the boiling soup by the other in pink.

When we visited the Kawakarpo Tibetan restaurant in Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the chefs of Wang Qiao and her sister-in-law were making a copper hot pot, a local special.

In Deqin County, the copper hot pot is significant for Tibetan families. It means tradition, happiness and family reunion. The hot pot is a must for family reunions during festivals.

The Kawakarpo Tibetan restaurant is jointly run by Wang Hao and her brother. In doing so, they hope to pass on their father’s cooking and make the traditional Tibetan dish enjoyed by more.

To ensure the originality in taste, Wang Qiao and her sister-in-law began in late October to pickle their own pork and ribs for the whole year to come.

It is easy to cook the dish: just put into the copper pot all the processed ingredients and cook them together. “Over 10 ingredients are put in the pot, but taste of the ribs dominates the whole hot pot,” said Wang.

Wang Qiao has forgotten her first tasting the copper hot pot, but she remembers the vivid scenes in her childhood, when the whole family got together for the dish.

“My dad used to cook the hot pot for us, but now we make it for the guests. In the future, I’ll teach the cooking to my child.”

During the talk, the whole copper hot pot has gained steam, with ingredients rolling in the boiled soup. The pork, ribs, potatoes and yam gave off pleasant smells, but before eating, another weak charcoal fire is needed. 

While waiting, the sister-in-law cleaned the stove in Tibetan tunes, while Wang Qiao made a dipping sauce. Wang does not remember how many hot pots have been done in the past 6 years. The two work happily every day.

The kitchen brings them happiness, which is passed to diners in the form of a delicious meal.

Wang Qiao said they will open a branch in Shangri-La in July. “By letting more people access the Tibetan food, I can better pass on my father’s craft.”

“The hot pot is ready! Let’s begin.” The family sat around the copper pot, and Wang’s daughter enjoyed the dish a lot: “So yummy, mom! It’s your taste, I see!”

尼汝到亚丁，徒步穿越120公里，历时5天。海拔最低点2100米，最高点4800米. 尼汝：“香格里拉最后的秘境”，亚丁：“蓝色星球最后一片净土”，也称为香格里拉县到香格里拉乡的大香格里拉穿越，这条线路景色相当原始，也比较安全，尤其是四季不同景色，高山、湖泊、雪山、草原、牧场、溪谷、山石、森林、峡谷、云海、沼泽，除了陆地上的沙漠几乎所有自然景观全部囊括，起伏海拔较大，需要一定体力和耐力，尤其要克服高反，总体感觉非常超值。

 

Day 01 Arrive in Lijiang
Day 02 Lijiang
Day 03 Lijiang -Tiger Leaping Gorge – Shangri-La
Day 04 Shangri-La – Luoji Town – Niru Village

第一天香格里拉—洛吉乡—尼汝村，包车5个多小时。

早上10点在香格里拉购买大部分食品和物资，中午洛桑大叔开吉普车来接我们12点出发（去尼汝非四驱吉普不可），下午3点先到达洛吉乡，洛吉乡很小，可以看到一些彝族等穿着民族服装的本地人，4点多转泥路去尼汝村，路况较差，顺着尼汝河一路前行。二个多小时到达尼汝上村，可以看见路边尼汝村的导游牌，但此处离我们要到达的尼汝下村还要一个多小时，继续前进，途中经过一处溪流名叫“阴河”，桥上下车拍照。过了阴河再走半个小时，6点前到达尼汝下村。今天车程5个多小时。

晚上住洛桑松巴大叔的家庭旅馆，电话13988778948，他的车费比较合理500元，洛桑的儿子叫东东，电话15987594379。住宿条件：大约有20个床位，有三人间和四人间，公共卫生间，太阳能热水器，可以洗澡，干净整洁。每人每天25元（7人的晚餐早餐另计花费200元左右）。马帮就是洛桑家的4匹马，东东负责向导兼马帮主管，谈好价格每匹马全程450元，三天到达东义区（一定要明确是到东义区而不是尼公村）。

尼汝下村宁静如世外桃源，格桑家有个果园，夜里星星很多很近很亮。村子很小，只有一个小卖部，手机有信号。海拔2851米，GPS坐标：27.955060, 100.064862

 

Day 05 Niru Village -Selie lake-Nanbao Pasture -Xinzhai River Pasture
第二天尼汝—垭口—色列湖—南宝牧场–新寨河牧场，徒步9个多小时。

早餐后8点45分出发。顺着小路海拔缓慢上升，一路可见溪流飞瀑，高山植被，绿树红叶，色彩斑斓，实在是视觉的盛宴。岔路不多，进入林中有一明显岔路，应往右走。海拔逐渐上升，下午1点20分到达一个不知名的牛棚，海拔3867米，然后几乎直线上升200多米海拔，因为有队友高反走得较慢，走了1个多小时才累死累活的到达垭口，垭口海拔4087米，从垭口就可以看见前方的色列湖，非常漂亮。一路下山，下午3点35分到达色列湖，藏语意为”金色的牧场湖”，海拔3949米，湖水碧蓝清澈，是本日途中风景最漂亮的地方了。爬上一个小山坡后，一直走平路很舒服，16：40分到达南宝湖，海拔4013米，然后从南宝牧场牛棚往右下降，就可以看见云南四川的界河：新寨河。下到河边再往前走，18：30分到达新寨河营地，海拔3677米，GPS坐标28.080047, 100.062248。

马夫住牛棚，我们住帐篷。9月下旬还不算很冷，夜里温度在零上5度左右，新寨河牧场规模较大，很多牧民在此定居，如需要增加马匹可以在此联系，但价格比尼汝贵，每马每天200元。

 

Day 06 Xinzhai River Pasture – Sela Mountain Pass-Rida Mountain Pass-Yala Pasture

第三天：新寨河牧场-色拉垭口-日达亚口-亚拉牧场，徒步8个小时。

早上9点半出发，走木桥过了新寨河进入四川。然后海拔急剧上升， 11点40分爬上海拔4291米的色拉垭口。之后下降到棚顶牧场，再爬上半山腰绕过一座山，1点20分到达海拔4220米的另外一个牛棚，休息午餐，对面就是日达垭口，看起来很高很陡峭。一路往上爬，经过一个几乎干枯的小湖泊，到达垭口下方。上垭口的路有点危险，坡度很陡，碎石众多，如果滑坠就滚下去几百米了。下午三点好不容易爬上一个陡坡，以为到顶了，抬头一看垭口还高高在上，郁闷了一下，再一看此处有一个美丽的高山小湖泊，可以用“妖艳”来形容，非常迷人。这里的海拔已达4478米，继续往上爬垭口，又爬了40分钟登上垭口，走在前面的惊喜的发现亚丁三神山一字排开，矗立远方，尽收眼底，这里是看到的是三神山的南面，能看到这一面的人不多吧。走在后面的上来已经阴云密布，没那么幸运看到神山，今天后半程和昨天一样，一路阵雨说下就下，说晴就晴。垭口海拔4538米。之后一路下降，下午5点到达一个不知名牧场，也是很好的营地，面对雪山。我们没有在此停留，往左下降，5点半到亚拉牧场，牧场有几间牛棚，无人居住，可以住在牛棚里，冷是不冷了，但会成了牛虱的美餐，身上起来无数疙瘩，奇痒无比。天气不是那么冷，还是住帐篷吧。营地看不到三神山了，要爬上一个几十米的小山坡才能拍到日照金山，还可以看到漂亮的云海。

亚拉牧场海拔4165米，GPS坐标：28.082710, 100.157072。

Day 07 Yala Pasture – Nigong village-Dongyi (Jiga Town)

第四天：亚拉牧场—尼公村—东义（吉呷乡），徒步8个小时。

今天要早起，8点30分出发。一开始的正确线路是沿着山腰的海拔4000米左右的等高线一路向前，然后走山脊，可以远眺三神山，不过云层遮盖，山峰忽隐忽现始终没看到山顶。绕了一大圈翻过山脊后开始下山，海拔急速下降，对膝盖是个巨大的考验，幸亏不用负重。一路有些岔路，需小心跟着马帮的足迹走，下雨天地面泥泞湿滑，有同伴膝盖受损，最终没有完成第二天的卡斯徒步。下午2点30分下到防火道公路，海拔已经降到2459米，不要沿公路走，远很多。穿过公路还是走小路下降，又走了半个小时下坡路终于到达尼公村，海拔2211米，GPS坐标：28.093841, 100.254021。时间还不到下午4点，马帮可能找借口不想去东义，但事先讲好的，不听东东想让我们雇用拖拉机的借口，我们先顺着小路下到河边，过木桥，然后沿着公路上到垭口（垭口有手机信号，尼公村没有信号），从垭口顺公路往前一点再走右边树林的小路下降，走了没多久突然就看见下面的村庄了，还不敢相信这么快就到东义了。下午6点下到东义河边，有一所规模不小的学校，才知道尼公到东义走小路只需要1个半小时，不用坐天价车，如果走公路就远很多。

东义区也是吉呷乡政府所在地，非常小，估计只有几十户人家。住宿的地方只有两个，一家旅馆在公路改造指挥所里面，听说每个床位20元，公共卫生间，条件一般！我们选择了东东介绍的滨河藏家乐（13990467069 13568675661），全是简易标准间60元一间，有独立卫生间和电热水器，我们三天来终于洗到了热水澡，还有一顿丰盛的晚餐，290元餐费，我们加马帮10个人啤酒喝到爽歪尽兴。同时找老板咨询包车，热情藏族老板是个当地教师，他告诉我们正好第二天有班车去卡斯，每人不到30元就可以到卡斯，要知道班车可是三天才有一辆，东义的车很少，据说包车去卡斯村要500元（联系电话13458423211，13990475885）。我们吃完晚饭商议，因为有四个人因高反和膝盖伤不能与我们去卡斯，所以我们在此简单分了下物资，决定不能去的四人直接坐第二天的班车去稻城，而我们剩下三人在中途卡斯村下车，继续下一阶段的徒步穿越到亚丁。这天短短7个小时海拔下降了整整2000米，真够累人的，那夜枕着滔滔的河水声睡的很香甜。东义海拔2065米，GPS坐标：28.110878, 100.260893。第二天告别东东的马帮，給了他不少剩下的物资，一路辛苦，虽然东东有时候不是那么和气但还算是比较认真负责。

Day 08 Dongyi (Jiga Town) -Kasi Village-Kasi Valley-Kasi Pasture Camp

第五天：东 义—卡斯村—卡斯地狱谷—卡斯牛棚，坐车1小时20分，徒步6个小时

早餐还是在客栈解决。9点钟班车来了，我们准时出发，车子顺着东义河一路向上，一路是坑坑洼洼的泥路，路面还算宽敞。36公里走了2小时，11点半，卡斯村到了。卡斯村海拔2822米，GPS坐标：28.397413, 100.241862。进入村子，找到“卡斯马帮协会”，车站附近一个马帮管理员，热情接待我们，告知马匹2天送到洛绒牛场，全村统一价格每匹马600元，村委会另收10元管理费，一共610元。全村28户人家值日般的轮流出马，公平公正，服务也很规范。卡斯村已经通手机，通知轮到的那户人家牵马过来，跟别的地方不同，当地藏族妇女也充当了马夫的角色。我们剩下的3人只请了1匹马，到了四郎家，四郎多丁就是个马夫。卡斯村也可以住宿，村长孔沙忠拥家提供有各种床位，价位从20—60不等，还比较干净，村里有个小温泉可以洗澡。下午1点，我们出发进卡斯沟。卡斯沟也称卡斯地狱谷，是两山之间夹着的一个峡谷，最窄处仅有十几米，非常险要。沟里有一条溪流，一路就顺着溪流往上爬升，景色优美。前半段路程都是在溪流边上走，过N座木桥，2个多小时后离开溪流上山，一路有些岔路，只要遇到岔路就往溪流的方向走就不会走错了，一般都是往右走。差不多走了三个小时后就可以看见仙乃日的顶峰出现在眼前，感觉很神圣。继续走半个小时，央迈勇的顶峰也进入画中，同时可以看见2座神山，四郎说我们很幸运。我们中途在四郎山上的父母家，即一个牛棚里休息喝奶茶，之后，有人提议住在这，第二天再走，我坚持一定要走过卡斯牛棚营地，再向上到垭口营地扎营，因为我知道那里可以第二天一早看到神山。由于在四郎家耽误了2小时，我们晚上冒雨夜爬，在晚上9点30分终于赶到一处平地，此处有流水声，这里一般马帮不会选择在这里扎营，而是选择之前的卡斯牛棚，而这里已经有藏民租用帐篷，即使自己扎营也要收费40元，经过一番讨价还价，我们30一人住进了他们提供的帐篷，雨夜又冷又湿，还是赶紧喝些热水直接进账休息比较好。此处海拔4456米，GPS座标28.386247, 100.322090。到垭口扎营今天的线路算前半段比较轻松的，后半段在地狱谷雨夜夜爬很是刺激，有队员几乎精神崩溃，虽然上升了2200米的海拔，但其实没有很陡的地方，6个小时应该能够走完。建议没有准备的可以选择在卡斯牛棚扎营，那里海拔4011米，GPS座标28.393505, 100.313143。

 

Day 09 Kasi Pasture Camp-Songduo Mountain Pass-Milk Lake-Luorong Pasture-Chonggu Monastery-Riwa Town(Shangri-La Town)

第六天：卡斯牛棚——松多垭口——牛奶海——洛绒牛场——冲古寺——亚丁景区门口—日瓦乡，徒步8小时，坐车2个半小时。

早上被隔壁帐篷里的喧闹声吵醒，原来是些转山的藏民早早起来赶路去了，出到帐外，才发现我们到达的神山脚下一处巨大的平台，此处有牛棚，有流水，是非常理想的营地，正对着两座巨大的雪山（仙乃日和央迈勇），风景绝佳，虽然云雾时而遮挡，但比卡斯牛棚营地爽多了，此处海拔4456米，GPS座标28.386247, 100.322090。吃了早餐继续往上面垭口走，垭口下面有个高山海子，名字叫勒西措，湖水美得一塌糊涂。11点半上到垭口，位于仙乃日和央迈勇之间，海拔4703米，从玛尼堆往左走是下亚丁景区的路，往右走绕过央迈勇则是去木里的穿越线路。走左边的路下撤，很快牛奶海就在眼底了。至此就进入了亚丁风景区，从亚丁景区入口到这里游客一般都要花费650元，而且还看不到牛奶海呢，想想我们的反穿线路真是超值的很，后面的线路就简单了。景区一步一景，三座雪山仿佛触手可及，令人震撼。一路下降，与夏诺多吉擦身而过，下午3点半下到洛绒牛场（手机开始有信号），联系上马帮的四郎的舅舅在景区外接我们，与马帮告别，，坐50元电瓶车15分钟下到冲古寺，再徒步40分钟出到景区门口，混过门口查票躲过150大洋，包上四郎舅舅多吉的车（300元，司机刀登13541476082）1个小时，后入住到日瓦的客栈，第二天一造包车到稻城。

Inquiry

2014 Ludian earthquake struck Ludian County, Yunnan, China, with a moment magnitude of 6.1 on 3 August. The earthquake killed at least 617 people, injuring at least 2,400 others.^[17][18] As of 5 August 2014, 112 people remain missing.^[19] Over 12,000 houses collapsed and 30,000 were damaged.^[20] According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred 29 km (18 mi) WSW of Zhaotong city at 16:03 local time (08:03 UTC).

Tectonic setting

The Ludian earthquake occurred at 16:03, Beijing time (08:03 UTC), on 3 August 2014. American geological surveys indicated that the epicenter was 29 km (18 mi) WSW of Zhaotong city at a depth of 10.0 km (6.2 mi),^[25] in the quake-prone province of Yunnan in southwestern China, about 18 km (11 mi) from Zhaotong. It was especially felt in the province of Yunnan, and less in the provinces of Guizhou and Sichuan.^[26]

The magnitude of the earthquake was 6.1 on the moment magnitude scale,^[16] with an intensity of up to VII (Very strong) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The quake was the result of a strike-slip fault, whose fault plane has a southwest-northeast strike.^[27]

Seismicity in this region of southeast Asia is the direct result of the orogenic activity of the Himalayan mountain belt. Due to the complex interaction between the Eurasian Plate and Indo-Australian Plate from Afghanistan in the west to Burma and China in the east, many shallow sub-surface faults are present in both southwest China and neighbouring Myanmar.

Recent earthquakes[edit source]

This particular part of Yunnan Province was struck by the M_w 6.3 Burma earthquake in 2003.^[28] Similar events have occurred in recent years due to strike-slip faulting in the nearby vicinity, such as the 2006 Yunnan earthquake of magnitude 5.0, which killed 19 people,^[29] the largest of recent times, the M_w 7.9 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which killed over 69,000 people, the M_w 6.9 2011 Shan earthquake,^[30] and more recently, the 2012 Yunnan earthquakes, which was the result of reverse faulting and not strike-slip faulting like the Ludian earthquake,^[31] killing 81 people and injuring 821 others.^[32]

Damage and casualties

Casualties	Ludian	Qiaojia	Zhaoyang	Huize	Total

The earthquake caused significant damage in the immediate vicinity of the epicenter, principally in the city of Zhaotong, where power outages and significant structural damage were reported.^[33] Chinese authorities announced that the quake left at least 391 dead, and over 1,801 injured.^[34][35]

According to the South China Morning Post, the tremor was felt in nearby towns, including the capital of Yunnan, Kunming, also in Chongqing, Leshan and Chengdu in the neighboring province of Sichuan.^[36] Road access to Longquan Village (龙泉村) of Longtoushan Town (龙头山镇), Ludian County, was blocked, where buildings collapsed.^[37] In Ludian, it was reported that around 12,000 homes had collapsed, many of them being aged brick structures.^[38]

Aftershock

Aftershock: 21 August 6:00 a.m. until 9 UTC in times or more (more than nine times more than M 3.0) up by China Seismic Bureau). The largest aftershock earthquake M 4.2.

Earthquakes are a natural occurrence in Yunnan, given its location in a seismically active region. While the province has experienced earthquakes in the past, the frequency and severity vary. Here are some considerations regarding earthquakes in Yunnan for travelers:

1. Seismic Activity: Yunnan is situated in an earthquake-prone zone, primarily due to its location on the edges of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. Earthquakes can occur, but their occurrence is unpredictable.
2. Building Safety Standards: Most buildings and infrastructure in Yunnan, especially in urban areas and tourist destinations, adhere to modern seismic building codes. Hotels and guesthouses typically prioritize safety measures to mitigate earthquake risks.
3. Government Preparedness: The Chinese government has measures in place for disaster preparedness and response. Local authorities are equipped to handle emergencies, including earthquakes, and provide assistance to affected areas promptly.
4. Traveler Preparedness: While the likelihood of being directly affected by an earthquake during a short visit is low, travelers should still be aware of safety protocols. These include knowing emergency exits in accommodations and public buildings and having a basic emergency kit.
5. Monitoring and Alerts: Local authorities and seismic monitoring agencies continuously monitor seismic activity. In the event of significant earthquakes, alerts and safety instructions are disseminated promptly through various channels, including mobile apps and local media.
6. Personal Safety Measures: Travelers should stay informed about local conditions and follow any advisories issued by local authorities. It’s also wise to keep emergency contacts handy and have a communication plan with travel companions.

Overall, while earthquakes are a potential concern in Yunnan, they should not deter travelers from visiting this culturally and scenically rich province. By staying informed, prepared, and alert, travelers can enjoy their trip while being mindful of natural hazards.

1996 Lijiang earthquake occurred at 19:14 on 3 February near Lijiang City, Yunnan in southwestern China. The shock measured 6.6 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of X (Extreme).

Earthquake

According to authorities, up to 322 people died and more than 17,000 were injured. About 358,000 buildings were destroyed, and 320,000 people were made homeless.

Damage

The earthquake destroyed many structures and buildings in the region; property damage was estimated at 506 million US dollars. In addition to damage to structures, it triggered more than 200 landslides in a 12,000 km² area. Many further landslides occurred in the months afterwards, as monsoon rains swept away debris already loosened, and as late as 1999, scientists warned that widespread ground fracturing throughout much of the area might lead to further landsliding in the event of heavy rain.

Aftershocks

One hundred and eighty-four aftershocks occurred in the first 26 hours, including 18 which measured between 4.0 and 4.8 on the Richter scale.

Aftermath

Many high-rise buildings in the area were torn down and traditional single-family dwellings were constructed in their place. Reconstruction assistance from the provincial government and the World Bank was used to restore traditional streets, bridges, and canals. These efforts played a major role in Lijiang’s efforts to achieve the World Heritage Site designation by UNESCO.
