  Originated from one peak of Himalayas,  Nujiang River (known as the Angry River) roars all the way down to Yunnan, without any bending or turning, it runs out of China, directly into the lower land of Myanmar, then the Indian Ocean.  Surrounded by the Biluo and Baimang Snow Mountains by the two sides, villages are almost squeezing for survival space along the river. It doesn't matter which group they are from, Lisu People, Nu People, and Dulong People, all have darker skin and high nose, and they all go to catholic churches on Sunday. Sub Tropical along the river in summer, couldn't imagina the whole area got frozen and closed down in the long winter time. The high mountains, and the long long river, that's it. But What a mysterious land, what an isolated world, keeps on drawing people's heart to explore it.

Historically, culturally and geographically, northwest Yunnan is one of the most diverse and alluring destinations in China. Our purpose for this adventure was to explore a short trail leading up and over Biluo Snow Mountain (碧罗雪山) in Fugong County (福贡县) with trekking guide and friend Hongxing — a Tibetan Catholic from Cizhong Village (茨中村).

Hongxing frequently takes travelers from Cizhong to Dimaluo (迪麻洛), but we are in search of a fantastic off-the-beaten trail that crosses the mountain ridge separating the Nu River (怒江) in the west from the Lancang (澜沧江) further east. We meet up in Bingzhongluo (丙中洛) near the Nu River and then journey downstream before starting our trek over the pass.

We set out from Shiyueliang (石月亮) — or Stone Moon — a remarkable hole in a mountain through which you can see the sky winking back from the other side. Hitching a ride on a three-wheeled motorbike with two Lisu kids, our destination is Shimendeng (石门登), a tiny village set against the stunning backdrops of Biluo Snow Mountain.
