Spring is more touching for northerners. The vast earth is full of bleakness, the north wind howls to the rhythm of the year, and there is little frost at the end of the year, and the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Entering the vernal equinox, the strong spring is even more coming. The wind changes from cold to warm, the trees climb all over the branches from dry to tender, and the flowers are budding. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom. Traveling during this period must be "the most good thing of spring of the year, and the warblers sing green and red for thousands of miles". On March 20, my lover and I followed the footsteps of spring and started our spring journey.

Guangyuan (Zhaohua Ancient City)

After admiring the rape flowers, re-boarded the G5, crossed the Qipanguan Tunnel, entered Sichuan, and arrived in Guangyuan soon after seeing the Jialing River.

A delicacy in Guangyuan, "Zheng Liang Noodles", is not far from our residence Lizhou Square, the noodles are made of rice, there are black and white types, with bean sprouts and chili peppers, etc., it smells very fragrant, it tastes a little sticky, and it feels average.

The

most famous landscape in Guangyuan is Jianmen Pass, which was originally planned to go, but it felt uncomfortable that day, and I was afraid that my body would not be able to bear it, so I gave up and chose to go to Zhaohua Ancient City.

Guangyuan urban area is less than 30 kilometers away from the ancient city of Zhaohua, all the way along the Jialing River, and after the confluence of the Bailongjiang River and the Jialing River, it comes to the ancient city of Zhaohua.

Zhaohua Ancient City is located at the confluence of the Bailongjiang, Jialing and Qingjiang rivers, facing water on three sides, with a good geographical location, and "the world's first landscape Taiji" The reputation of a natural wonder. It is also one of the earliest county seats in ancient China to implement county system management, and is a veritable "first county in Bashu".

Although it is a city of bullets, many important historical events and wars have been staged here for thousands of years. During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei led troops stationed here to conquer the east and west. Fei Xiao also opened a government office here. Many stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such as Zhang Fei's night battle with Ma Chao, Jiang Wei's defeat at Niutou Mountain, etc., also happened here.

The visitor center is located outside the east gate, along the field road, climb up the embankment of the Jialing River, not far from the confluence of the Bailongjiang River and the Jialing River There is a ferry - Jubai Ancient Ferry, It is currently under construction and renovation.


The east entrance of the ancient city is a stone archway with three floors, three doors, and four pillars. It can be seen from the overall color that this is a rebuilt archway. The upper eaves and the stone drums and stone lions below should be old parts, and the middle part should be new materials. Maybe there was no archway here before, or not in this location.

The

front of the archway is engraved with "Jia Meng", and the stone pillars on both sides are "Shu Road Three Kingdoms Important Town" and "The World's First Tai Chi". On the back, "the first county of Bashu" and "the second capital of Shu".

"Jiameng" is a pass in the ancient city of Zhaohua. Out of the west gate of Zhaohua, about twenty miles away, is the "Jiameng Pass" where it is said that Zhang Fei lit the lamp and fought Ma Chao at night. In ancient times, from Chengdu to Chang'an, you had to enter and exit from the west gate of Zhaohua; From Chang'an to Chengdu, you have to enter and exit through the east gate and the west gate. The ancient city of Zhaohua has become an important pass connecting Bashu and the Central Plains, and this pass is the "Jiameng Pass".

Fengmen Tower was built in the Ming Dynasty and is the east gate of the ancient city, named after the phoenix on Fengling Mountain opposite. Entering this door really comes to the ancient city area.

Climb the city tower, the city wall stretches out, and the ancient city is in full view.

The area of the ancient city is not large, several main streets are paved with bluestone, and the streets are very quiet. The house is basically an old building, with blue tiles and white walls, mostly two or three floors, and a porch in front of the house, which is convenient for doing business.

There is a chastity archway on the county yamen street leading to the north gate, which was built by the emperor in the nineteenth year of Qing Daoguang for the chaste woman Wu Mei of Zhaohua, and is now rebuilt.

The arch gate is the north gate of the ancient city, the original city gate has been damaged, and the ruins of the city wall can still be seen on both sides.


Zhaohua County Office is located at the highest point in the northwest of the ancient city, sitting north and facing south, symbolizing the supremacy of power. Founded in the Tang Dynasty, rebuilt twice in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and later destroyed in the Cultural Revolution, the current building was newly built in 2008.

There is a 1,500-year-old ancient cypress on the east side of the county office, which is still standing tall and leafy.

The Confucian Temple was built in the Song Dynasty, and after seven reconstructions, most of the buildings were destroyed, and only the Dacheng Hall was built during the Jiaqing period and restored in 2008.

Although the ancient city is not big, there is a lot of content, and the City God Temple, Le Lou, Xiaoyoufang, and Jiameng Pavilion are all worth seeing.

Linqing Gate Tower is the west gate of the ancient city, also known as "Jiameng Pass", which was completed in the Ming Dynasty. "Linqing" is to warn the incumbent officials to "have two sleeves of clean wind and be diligent in government for the people". In ancient times, from Chengdu to Chang'an, you had to enter through this gate.

One

kilometer away from the city tower is the "victory dam" of Meng Zhang Fei's night battle against Jin Ma Chao.

At noon, after visiting the ancient city, head to the next destination - Leshan.

Leshan

Leshan belongs to the old place to revisit, although I only stayed for one night, I still felt quite comfortable.

Leshan was known as "Jiazhou" in ancient times, and had the reputation of "Begonia Fragrance Country", located at the confluence of the Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River. "Golden begonia" should mean "begonia fragrant country".

can't wait to come to the river, to be precise, it should be by the Dadu River, on the Moruo Square, a brush-shaped stone sculpture stands in the center of the square, engraved with "giant pen in the literary world", This is to commemorate Mr. Guo Moruo, a native of Leshan.

The road on the bank of the Dadu River is called Binhe Road, walking along the river, the spring breeze blows, the river hits the shore, the green mountains and green waters, and the scenery is infinite. This section of the Dadu River has accepted the Qingyi River at Caoshoe Crossing in the west of the city, and is rolling southeast at this time, and she will complete the mission of more than 1,000 kilometers and soon merge into the Min River.

Lizheng Gate, also known as Tie Niu Gate, is the south gate of the ancient city of Jiazhou, facing the Dadu River, built in the Ming Dynasty, and the existing buildings are rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. The stone is built with four door openings, and the four doors intersect at one point in the center of the dome, which is called the "cross arch" in architecture. In the Ming Dynasty, two iron bulls were placed in front of the gate to calm water and ward off fire, so there is a saying: "A good iron bull door, one foot steps on four doors".

Continue to walk along the river after passing through Tieniumen, the mountains in the distance are winding, the Lingbao Pagoda and the Leshan Giant Buddha are becoming clearer and clearer, and small boats are swimming on the river, and flocks of water birds are playing.

The river is getting wider and wider, and the Dadu River quietly joins the Min River here, silently flowing into the distance.

Binhe Road From here, the northbound line along the Minjiang River begins to be called Binjiang Road, which is the best place to enjoy the Leshan Giant Buddha, and the night view is very charming.

Qianwei (Jiayang Train)

has long heard of the Jiayang Train, "the train to spring" and "the train through the sea of rapeseed flowers", just listening to these descriptions, it is very exciting.

The

full name of the entire scenic spot is Jiayang Xiaolu Lake Tourist Scenic Area, and the Jiayang Train is only a part of it. Since most of the tourists come by Benjiayang train, taking the train tour has also become the signature of this scenic spot.

The Jiayang Train was built in 1958 for the export of coal, and is a narrow-gauge steam train, with a length of 19.8 kilometers and a total of seven stations. Due to the steep mountains in the area and the lack of roads to the mountains, since the railway was completed and opened to traffic, it has been the main means of transportation for villagers and miners along the line to commute, go out, and transport production and daily necessities. Now a special tourist train has also been opened.

Visitor Center location - Yuejin Station is the starting point of the small train tour, and is also the headquarters of Jiayang Group Company, Jiayang Gangue Power Plant and Jiayang's new living residential area.

Tourist trains depart from here twice a day, with a fare of 80 yuan one way and a round trip of about 2 hours. The advantage of taking a small train is to experience this novelty, learn some railway knowledge, get off the train in the middle to visit, and walk all the way through the green fields of the mountains. However, because it is a steam train, the carriage conditions are average, soot and bumps are inevitable, and the time is not easy to grasp. So there are many people who buy masks in the parking lot, and many people ask if they want to rent a car. If two people rent a car than take the train, it is more cost-effective to have more people. When renting a car, you should negotiate the price first, generally within 300 yuan for the whole journey (Yuejin Station - Bagou Station, you can get off the bus to take pictures and see the altar) within 300 yuan, and the locals are still trustworthy when the time is agreed. Self-driving is not allowed, and the roads are narrow unless accompanied by local friends. We just rented a car for 280 yuan to play.


The road into the mountain is very narrow, there are many bends, and it is a bit difficult to get the wrong car, but fortunately, the driver is a veteran, and the car is driving quite steadily. The green bamboo in the mountains, the grass and trees are lush, and the houses are vaguely among them, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.

The

winding track stretches from the canola fields into the depths of the dense woods.


A small train slowly came from the mountains, from the depths of the dense forest, and from the sea of flowers.

With a wisp of smoke and dust, leaving behind a smell of soot, it gradually fades away and disappears into the sea of flowers. This is Caiziba Station, and a train passes by at about 10:50 a.m. every day.

On the way, I went to a ravine and saw the oak trees there. In fact, I am no stranger to the oak tree, and I remember where I saw it when I went to Chishui.

Quercus fern, known as the "King of Ferns", is the only woody fern that has been discovered, extremely precious, can be called a national treasure, and is listed as an endangered plant under first-class protection by many countries. Alderma is a semi-shade tree species that prefers warm and humid climates, mostly growing near mountain streams or in sparse forests.

Xiaolu Lake, which belongs to the same scenic spot as Jiayang Train, has more than 200,000 algae trees growing, and has been awarded the title of "Hometown of Chinese Quercus" by the China Wild Plant Protection Association, and if you have enough time, you can visit there.

When you arrive at Jiaoba Station, the car from the direction of Yuejin Station cannot pass, so you have to get off the bus and walk along the railroad tracks for a while, and take the car from Jigou Station to continue moving forward (the driver has contacted you in advance).

walk through this culvert to continue taking the car.

Bajiaogou Station is the penultimate station of the small train line, and the terminal station is Huangcunjing is a coal mine, if you don't want to experience the feeling of digging coal in the well, this is the end of the small train line.

Bajiaogou Station is named after Bajiaogou, Bajiaogou is also called Gongrang, is the product of the opening of minerals in the 30s of the last century, with the opening of the train, it was prosperous for a while, and once became a very lively town, miners are proud of it, take it as their home, and nearby villagers envy and yearn for it. With the depletion of mineral resources, it has gradually been abandoned, and now few people live here except tourists, leaving only full of memories.


The building is still intact, as it was back then.

The former Soviet-style mining headquarters is now the Jiayang Mine Museum.


Theaters, auditoriums, and stages, although some are dilapidated, can still imagine the lively scene of those years.


In front of the auditorium, a set of mineral equipment of that year is displayed, telling us the entrepreneurial process of Chinese workers who are self-reliant and hardworking.

Although the old house is dilapidated, the style is not outdated at all, and the front and back of the house are still surrounded by green trees and full of flowers.

This is a miner's dormitory, and the red word is still pasted on the window, and it can be seen from the "repurchased" on the door that the owner has already moved out and really hopes that they will have a good home.

There is a stream under the banyan ditch, and the two banyan trees on the banks of the stream are thick and upright, snuggling up to each other, called "lover banyan". According to legend, a regiment commander and his wife under the Kuomintang general Song Xilian were defeated here, and in order to see each other again, they planted these two banyan trees with their own hands. Now the banyan tree has grown up, but the husband and wife can never see it. Perhaps it was the loyal love that moved the heavens, the roots of the two banyan trees were connected, the branches and leaves intersected, you have me, I have you, as if they have become one, and I can't help but be moved.

The train started slowly with a faint sense of smoke, carrying those memories of the past, those lost youth, and carrying people's hopes, rolling out of the mountain. Towards a new era.

The last time

Ya'an

came to Ya'an was on the way to Aden, and this time it was only for one night. I feel that the road is much better than before, and the appearance of the city has also changed a lot.

Ya'an Covered Bridge is a landmark of Ya'an, we stayed at the "Impression Rain City Hotel" on the third floor of the covered bridge, the overall environment of the hotel is good, and you can enjoy the scenery of the Tsing Yi River in the room.

A cat in the hotel is very likable.

The Tsing Yi River is now in the dry season, the river channel is being repaired, and the water is not very clear.

The

yellow kudzu tree at the head of the covered bridge is an Internet celebrity tree, which is 550 years old. As a tree in Ya'an City, yellow kudzu trees are all over the streets, and these century-old trees have witnessed the changes in Ya'an and carried the memories of Ya'an people.

On

Dabei Street southwest of Qiaotou, there is a fat fish restaurant, Yayu hot pot is delicious, and there is a fish skull sword as a souvenir after eating fish, which is very interesting.

Yanjiang Park should have been built in recent years, a group of sculptures are very life, the image is vivid, I hope that Ya'an will become more and more beautiful, and the people's lives will become happier and happier.

The Yaxi Expressway from

Ya'an to Xichang

is part of the G5 (Beijing-Kunming), crossing the Qingyi River, Dadu River, Anning River and other rivers. The entire highway runs between the mountains, the mountains overlap, and the terrain is steep, and it is called the "Ladder Expressway" and "Highway in the Clouds".Due to its location in deep mountains and canyons, the terrain conditions are extremely steep, so the road conditions are complex and diverse. There are both special uphill sections, special downhill sections (51 kilometers of downhill from Tuowushan to Asbestos, which can be called the "devil of devils in the devil"), extra-long tunnels, and extra-large bridges, coupled with high altitude, many curves and steep roads, which is a test for safe driving.

The traffic on the highway is not large, mostly large cars, and it is quite leisurely to drive, but remember not to be careless. As an old driver, I would like to share with you the following points: First, concentrate and strictly abide by the speed limit. Secondly, overtaking must be in the overtaking lane and turn signals in advance, and flash and honk if necessary. Thirdly, maintain a safe driving distance, not only maintain the distance between you and the car in front, but also ensure that you leave enough space for the rear car, do not let the rear car get too close to you, and pay special attention to try not to be in the middle of the two large cars. Another point is that on long downhill sections, try to use manual mode and use gears to control the speed and avoid stepping on the brakes for a long time. When the car behind you frequently changes light and honks, you should immediately think that it may be out of control, and you must immediately accelerate and give up the lane at the same time, and take all safety measures to escape if necessary. Finally, in case of vehicle failure or accident, try to move to the emergency stop zone, and place a reflective warning sign 150 meters away, and the personnel will immediately evacuate the safe area outside the high-speed guardrail and call the police at the same time. Self-driving travel is a process of enjoying nature, safe driving is a prerequisite, and the first condition for ensuring safety is to abide by traffic rules, which I hope every traffic participant will keep in mind.

This "highway on the clouds" is still a landscape avenue, with mountains and rivers all the way, accompanied by a sea of flowers, clouds steaming, The fog locks the smoke, like a wandering dragon tossing and turning in the mountains, and like a ribbon floating between the sea of flowers and mountains.

Walking is actually not as shocking as looking under the road, and the scenery along the way is only a flash, and you can only have the opportunity to stop and watch in the parking area. It is an absolute enjoyment for those who ride in the car, and you can enjoy the beauty to the fullest. The two sides of the Xingjing and Hanyuan sections are full of flowers, plum blossoms, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, cherry blossoms, rapeseed flowers, yellow, red, white, all over the mountains, overwhelming, this momentum, this kind of scenery is unforgettable, and it can only be experienced by visiting in person.

12:40 p.m., arrive at Xichang Qionghai National Wetland Park.

Qionghai, located in Xichang City, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, was known as Qionchi in ancient times, 7 kilometers away from the city center, and is the second largest freshwater lake in Sichuan Province. Qionghai National Wetland Park is an urban wetland built by Xichang City in recent years to improve the surrounding environment, conserve water sources, purify water quality, and improve the ecological environment, located around Qionghai about three kilometers southeast of Xichang City, with a total area of about 20,000 acres, and is currently the largest urban wetland park in China.





The park is connected by water and natural resources, bridges and pavilions, green willows and red flowers, and wild fun. Walking on the quiet garden road, in addition to the water town style, bird watching islands, misty rain heron islands, and flower fields have also added a lot of fun to this place.

The wetland park is connected to Qionghai, the mountains are connected to the sea, the sea is connected to the sky, the sea and the sky are the same, and it is as beautiful as a poem and a painting.

After visiting the wetland park, come to Lushan.

Lushan is located on the south bank of Qionghai Sea, it is bordered by Qionghai in the east, Anning River in the west, Xichang in the north, and Luoji Mountain in the south. The pines and cypresses on the mountain are towering, and the ancient Buddhist palace is majestic and spectacular, which together with Qionghai constitutes a natural picture of Lushan Qionghai. The ancients used "pine wind and water moon" to describe the beautiful scenery of Lushan Qionghai, that is, the pines of Lushan, the wind of Anning River, the water of Qionghai, and the moon of Xichang.

It is best to climb Lushan, but there is also a cable car, due to time constraints, we choose the cable car to go up the mountain.

The end of the cable car is actually only halfway up the mountain, and you can only hike further up. Guangfu Temple is located halfway up the mountain, it is the oldest and largest temple in Lushan, known as "the first ancient temple in Lushan".

Below Kofukuji Temple is the sea viewing platform, and a monkey seems to be attracted by the scenery here, staring intently at the sea, perhaps this is its fixed position every day.

This is the best place to see Qionghai, and the whole view of Qionghai Sea is in full view. It is also the best location to appreciate the entire Xichang, and the best way to feel the environmental charm of Xichang as an ecological and livable city.

Down Lushan is Qionghai Park, which is an open park where you can come to the water's edge and get in close contact with Qionghai.

Qionghai is called the sea but not the sea, and it belongs to the plateau fault and collapse freshwater lake, which was formed about 1.8 million years ago and is named after the "Qiong River".

In the evening, Qionghai Sea, a bay of blue water, deep blue, vast and wide, the breeze blows, and the ripples are bursting. In the distance, the mountains are like a picturesque screen, the shadows of the trees are fluttering, and the houses are faint. As a poem says, "Ten thousand ravines and clear springs, Qiongchi is a mirror." The mountain light is as deep as a dark blue, and the water is bluer than blue. "

Qionghai The wide and calm water surface is a paradise for water sports, and the Sichuan Qionghai Water Sports School was built here, becoming a scene of Qionghai. It also adds a touch of beautiful color to Qionghai.

Stays in Xichang city at night. Xichang City is located in the Anning River Valley in southwest Sichuan, on the north bank of Qionghai Sea, and is the capital of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. It is the world-famous "Sun City", "Moon City", "Aerospace City", and is "a city that inhabits spring", so it is also known as "Little Spring City".

Qionghai Park is more than 10 minutes' drive from the city, arrange accommodation, and wander along the street. At night, the spring breeze is warm and the air is pure, walking on the wide and clean streets, feeling the quiet beauty of this city of the moon.
