On October 19, after three or four hours of sleep, everyone got up early. The air in the Tibetan village is fresh, and our mood is gradually improving. On the road from Zhuokeji to Hongyuan, the mountains and rivers were picturesque, I picked up the microphone and said: Yesterday's nightmare-like itinerary has undergone qualitative changes today, although Nitou has some thoughtless places, but the head donkey and the master are undoubtedly the hardest people yesterday, let us express our heartfelt thanks to their hard work. Everyone applauded warmly and unanimously agreed that the 600 yuan fined yesterday would be shared equally with everyone.
Hongyuan County was established in 1960 and named "Hongyuan" by the beloved Premier Zhou Enlai. The red plain grassland is vast and far, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the yaks and tents are dotted, which is refreshing. In order to save time, we ate simple egg fried rice in Hongyuan County at noon, and each of us ate three or four bowls, and the restaurant owner kept frying rice while smiling and asking us: Brother, you haven't eaten for a few days? After the meal, we drove to Ruoerge Grassland, arrived at Tangke Township at 14:00 in the afternoon, and spent 40 yuan to enter the Yellow River First Bay Scenic Area. The first bay of the Jiuqu Yellow River, located in Tangke Township, 61 kilometers away from Ruoerge County, is located in the heart of the grassland, where the Bai River joins the Yellow River, forming a huge momentum, where the terrain is flat, the water flow is soothing, the river surface is wide and winding, and the tortuous river water divides countless river continents. The Sokezang Monastery was built in the first bay of the Yellow River, and the ancient temple of the White Pagoda, with tents and smoke accompanying the Yellow River, is more natural and far-reaching. At 17:30, we set off again, heading towards Songfan via Jorge. At dusk, the driver suddenly shouted: Wolf! There are wolves! We took a closer look, and sure enough, a golden wolf was waiting on the side of the road, and it didn't hurry to walk into the depths of the grassland until the car was about to hit it. It is estimated that this wolf came out to step on something, and I don't know which yak or sheep will be its dinner tonight. Xingyu from Chengdu is very envious of the grassland wolf's worry-free life, and I said no wonder every herdsman has to raise a Tibetan Ao! On the grassland all day long, not long after passing the county seat of Ruoerge, there was lightning and thunder ahead, and suddenly heavy snow fell, and the snowflakes fell in lumps, like hail, crackling on the windshield, which made us extremely excited. At 22:00 in the evening, we arrived at the Chuanzhusi International Hotel as scheduled, and today's itinerary was very smooth, although the hotel's free dinner was difficult to swallow, everyone's mood was still sunny. 3. Colorful yellow dragon scenery
At 9:00 on October 20, we set off from Chuanzhu Temple, because there were nine donkey friends who did not go to Huanglong, they took a taxi to Jiuzhaigou by themselves and waited for us there tomorrow. The remaining 27 of us got on the bus and went straight to Huanglong. The morning air of Chuanzhu Temple is cool, the streets are lined with Tibetan villages, exuding a strong ethnic style, and there are many shops selling yak meat along the street, and it is said that the yak meat here is the best in the area. Chuanzhusi Town is located 17 kilometers northeast of Songpan County. It is an important transportation hub for many scenic spots in northwest Sichuan and a cross point of four tourist trunk lines. It is a must-pass place to Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong Scenic Area and the grasslands of northwest Sichuan. There is a Red Army Long March Monument Garden in Yuanbao Mountain, Chuanzhu Temple. On the way to Huanglong, we crossed the Xuebaoding Pass at an altitude of 4,009 meters, and the main peak of Xuebaoding is 5,588 meters above sea level, which is the location filming location of the TV series "Journey to the West" where the three borrowed banana fans and the Monkey King was crushed into the Marble Mountains, because it has entered winter, there is snow on the roadside and mountains along the way, and the temperature is also very low. But today I don't have altitude sickness anymore. Arrive at Huanglong Scenic Area at 10:30, the ticket plus the ropeway is 280 yuan. Because Xinyu from Beijing had a tour guide certificate, more than 20 of us passed through the ticket gate together, and she was exempt from tickets as a tour guide. Huanglong Scenic Area is a national scenic spot and is listed as a World Natural Heritage Site at the same time as Jiuzhaigou. The scenic spot is famous at home and abroad for its strange, unique, beautiful and secluded natural scenery. The entire valley in the scenic area is almost completely covered with milky yellow calcium carbonate, and from the outside, it looks like a yellow dragon soaring down from the snowy peaks of Minshan Mountain, winding through the green valley of the dense forest. The thousand layers of blue water form layers of ladder-like lakes and ponds, like jade and tooth carvings. The pool water is clear and dust-free, and the water color is yellow, green, light blue, azure and other colors due to the ever-changing sediments on the bottom of the water, trees and mountains. The scenery of the yellow dragon is really distinctive, the colorful pond is simply a fairyland on earth, a dream. At 16:30 p.m., everyone came out, and after getting in the car, they returned to Chuanzhu Temple along the original road, bought beef, highland barley wine and other specialties at the town's farmhouse supermarket, and I bought four pieces of fresh braised yak beef, which cost a total of 270 yuan for 50 yuan per catty.After shopping, we went straight to Jiuzhaigou, passing the source of the Minjiang River and Sacred Mountain on the way. There are many prayer flags hanging on the sacred mountain, and according to the driver, there are many bird corpses on this mountain, and the local birds will fly to the sacred mountain when they are about to die, so the sacred mountain has become the destination of the souls of the birds. Many ornithologists have visited Shenshan, but there is still no definite scientific basis. At 19:00 in the evening, we arrived at Jiuzhaigou and stayed in the four-star China Travel Hotel, with a standard room of 140 yuan and breakfast and dinner, which was really worth it. After checking in, we went to the Tibetan village of the Paradise Tribe to experience a Tibetan style dinner, and ate stewed mutton and roasted yak. Xiao Du of Chuancheng Company sent precious souvenirs to everyone, GG each had a wolf tooth, and MM each had a set of horn combs, which made everyone overjoyed. During the banquet, a unique birthday party was held for Lao Tang, the oldest of the donkey friends. After the meal, everyone sang and danced with the Tibetans in the courtyard and had a great time. At the end, the head donkey Nicholas failed to go out, because he lost to the little girl of the collector during the meal, and they wanted to leave him to keep the yak for three years, and after some twists and turns, he escaped to catch up with our car. | |
