Live Your Best Lives
Preface
Surrounding the southern part of Bayangala Mountain, this is the sacred mountain Tianhu Lake, and the setting sun shining in all directions adds more frost and holiness to this holy land, so far, I have deeply fallen in love with this beautiful place of mountains and waters, it is the most beautiful secret place in western Sichuan that belongs to Aba - Lianbao Yeze. It is as vast as a mountain, majestic and magnificent, known as the "source of Shu Mountain, Kunlun Ladder", known as the back garden of the gods, is a world of strange peaks and strange stones, and can be called a temple of art. The scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter has its own highlights, and it is a good place worth coming back again!
The magic of nature has created the extraordinary of this stone mountain. Some people say that this is an otherworldly wonderland, a strange demon world, and a warm and amorous world, and the magnificent alien surface is also called World of Warcraft. Come here to suck this endless mountain aura, look at the majestic mountains and rivers in the west of the motherland, this trip is in full swing, may you and I be like the first dream curtain, walk the cliffs, climb the cliffs, and laugh at the western wind.
It is said that an interesting life, half of it is mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, half of it is fireworks and daily life, these years of travel experience have allowed me to maintain a love for the original intention on the road at any time, and look at the beautiful scenery in front of me with fresh eyes. I have always felt that the mountains and rivers in the west are different, and you can see rich elements such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, forests and lakes along the way. The most surprising thing is that due to the high altitude, the temperature will encounter a sudden snow scene when the temperature is slightly lower, so that the entire mountain top will show a trace of coldness, and the earth will be directly covered with a layer of silver, transforming into a pure and ethereal place that is not like the world, full of dreams and romance.
At the beginning of September, when my friends and I drove on this distant road to see the "dignified jade peak" with a sense of mysterious atmosphere, we were in awe in our hearts, feeling that this is a road of worship to the depths of our hearts, perhaps his peak is more majestic, we just uphold human nature and bow deeply to the strong.
Day1: Lotus treasure leaves under
the snowy scene
The road to the west is quite far, and I finally arrived after driving 6 hours from Chengdu, and I couldn't wait to visit it early the next morning after a night of repairs. The scenery along the way constantly surprises us, and the lack of artificially developed scenery looks particularly rustic. The first lake that the car drove by, called Baixianghai, the vegetation of the autumn has become a primitive dye, making the scenery here full of layers, from deep to shallow, outlining an ethereal artistic conception.
The white restaurant across the lake looks like a piece of white jade between mountains and rivers from a distance, which makes people feel particularly fresh and refined. A jade near the lake, washed away by the mountain rain, is the most beautiful embellishment in this mountain.
The temperature plummeted, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, and we were pleasantly surprised by a heavy snowfall like goose feathers suddenly drifting from the sky, and we immediately accelerated the accelerator to the observation deck at the top of the mountain. Climbing to the observation deck, the arrogance came to my face, as if I had broken into a fairyland on earth. The majestic Shu Mountain is also difficult, comparable to the sky.
Such a scene reminds me of the magical picture of Sword and Fairy, which is indescribably beautiful. The cold wind is blowing, the snow is fluttering, Xu Changqing is no longer the Xu Changqing of the past, climbing the mountain and stepping on the ice and snow, from then on the mortal world has nothing to do with himself, this mountain has a grand mind to forget the affairs of the world when you reach the top.
This sacred mountain should have allowed us to feel the gifts of nature in the autumn coolness, but we have to feel the winter cold and enjoy the wonders of the mountains at this moment. The mountains and fields are sad, and people are frightened, and the scenes of the observation deck reflect the otherworldliness of Lianbao Yeze, with strange peaks and rocks, and the majesty of momentum. Each strange peak has a particularly strong sense of integrity, and every peculiar posture seems to be carefully carved, and it is only lamentable that stubborn stones can be as beautiful as jasper.
mountains are majestic, the mountains are translucent, revealing the depth of obsidian, but the jagged rocks give people an unpredictable sense of art, the overall black and white is like the remnants of the chess game left by the gods here millions of years ago, we wander among the chess, thinking about the oracles passed down through the ages.
biggest advantage of climbing to the top of the mountain is that you can see the trend of the mountain clearly, compared to appreciating the tip of the iceberg at the foot of the mountain, seeing its potential clearly, and experiencing the mystery of hiking the mountain. Where the snow gradually melts, the mountain reveals its wild darkness, rolled up in the fog in the sky, directly constituting a magnificent landscape view.
The snow-capped peaks are endless, and every time we take a step in the mountains, it reveals more of its blackness, and we also turn into this natural painter, using our feet to extract the most unique stroke in the mountain, which is high and spans the mountain across the sky, and low around the lake. The sleeping dragon in the mountains is a spiritual lake, and the dark pool is shaped like a hidden dragon, with clouds and mist coiling, just like a call to come out.
The emptiness in the mountains evokes people's primitive wildness, and shouting in the mountains not only breaks the boundless dead silence, but also relieves the fatigue of the body and releases the inner pressure.
The mountains are twisted, the sea of clouds is spreading, between the towering peaks, in the rushing thick fog, this scene presents the roar of the angry sea in the heart. There is no water in the mountains, but there is water, and the winding and upright trends are like waves in the wind imprisoned by time, leaving us only with a surge of heart.
Walking on the ridge plank road is like shuttling on a black dragon.
The lotus treasure leaf is one of the top ten sacred mountains in Tibet, and people's belief in it can be seen everywhere, and the mani piles piled up in the mountains do not know whose prayers they are pinned on.
Finally, we came to the Yuanyuan Circle Coffee House under the observation deck, where the scene instantly became the focus of the audience, it is a circular transparent house set up on the open space in the middle of the mountain wall, which can not only enjoy the irrigation of the sun, but also hide from the strong wind. The glass building makes it bright and elegant even in the deserted mountains.
The comfortable seats in the room are the best supplies for climbing the mountain all the way, sitting by the window, holding hot coffee in your hand, and the whole body melts like ice and snow after entering, and the breath is even more warm and cold, which is particularly comfortable. Of course, if you are not afraid of the cold, you can also enjoy a cup of open-air coffee, drink it in the cool breeze, think deeply, and enjoy the most natural beauty. The next road, after this cup of elegant and strong coffee, must be smoother.
Day2: Lotus treasure leaves under the blue sky and white clouds
Unsatisfied, we continued to come to the scenic spot to watch the next day, fortunately God gave us a face, and along the way we showed a different scenery that fascinated our eyes. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and we also saw some village scenery along the way. The familiar plateau yaks make the day full of life at the beginning, and we will continue to explore the charm and fun of Lotus Leaf with incomparable novelty, and wait until the breeze rises and let the vitality of the new day begin.
If yesterday was a cold winter, then today is late autumn. The vast grassland has shown its tender yellow haggardness, with a hint of laziness, which makes people want to sleep back, perhaps because of the yak's moo, which has brought our souls back to the mountains and grasslands.
Laughter echoed in the mountains, and the villages entrenched at the foot of the mountains were particularly quiet.
We couldn't help but stay a little longer, watching herds of cattle grazing and playing, looking at the ancient mountain temple gradually submerged by trees and shrubs, and our thoughts drifted to the other end of the sky with the recited scriptures.
Playing around the village allowed us to experience a leisure that was different from yesterday, the sky was sprinkled with holy beams, and the mountains and rivers seemed to receive the message of the gods descending to earth, revealing the brilliance and ushering in the highlight moment of the day.
continuous creek is shaped like a walking snake, and the green mountains give it turquoise, from this end to the other end of the mountain, until the halo of the sun shines through the clouds and gives it a brilliant golden crown, we can distinguish which side is the head and which side is the tail. The wide lawn inspires our innocence that we have not yet retreated, and we run with the cows, and there is little smoke in the village in the distance, and this moment feels like we have tasted all the beauty of the world.
After entering the Lianbaoye Scenic Area, we went straight to the beautiful lake - Zagarcuo, and the scenery around the lake made us realize what the real sky is. The peaks around the shore are like majestic giants, holding Zagarcuo in their hands, as if to dedicate the most beautiful gift to the gods of heaven, and you and I are just passers-by among them, and the only way to leave it is to take a quiet photo with it.
What is the unpredictability of the lotus treasure leaf, in addition to the color of this wind and clouds, it is the color of this lake. We observed it carefully, from yesterday's black dragon to today's transparent jadeite, this piece may also be a treasure that God can't take away.
Legend has it that the Lianbaoye area is the ancient battlefield where King Gesar fought, and you can really feel the slaughtering aura hidden between the mountain peaks.
On the other side of the lake, we encountered more mani piles, and the sacred atmosphere made the atmosphere here become strong all at once, At a glance, it seems to be naturally formed, and it is particularly in line with the mountains and rivers here.
There will also be a 1314 plank road on the way, as the name suggests, it is just 1314 steps up, which is called the love ladder and is a place not to be missed by couples. The observation deck at the top of the arrival is called "4520", which means I love you. Walking among the steep walls full of primitive atmosphere, surrounded by flowers and weeds, there is no trace of romance.
The sun's rays do not stop, as if urging all things in the world that have not yet awakened in this day. We climbed to the observation deck one after another, wanting to confirm the color of the lotus treasure leaves once again, today's mountain is really different from what we saw yesterday.
The local people also have another name for it, "Stone Castle", and I think this name is more real. The winding mountain road is winding and slowly extends into the depths of the castle.
On the way back, we sped along the road again, wanting to explore all the beauty here. Along the way, I encountered a large stone standing in the mountains, engraved with colorful words, marked with its Chinese meaning "rock" on one side of the stone, which was considered by the local people to symbolize love as solid as a rock.
lotus treasure leaves in the secret land of western Sichuan are also very suitable for self-cultivation, with few people and beautiful scenery and good air, and we also saw a lot of log cabins next to the Baixianghai, which is said to be a homestay in the scenic spot.
excellent geographical location of the mountains and lakes gives people a harmonious taste of returning to nature, like a paradise.
Walking forward along the trail, the fireworks in the world rising in front of you make people feel the leisure that belongs to Lianbao Yeze.
The "Heaven and Earth Floating Boat" café next to the lake is also a photo check-in point not to be missed. The meaning behind it is: "The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and the Shu people float rafts to explore the source river." According to records, when Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, he took this floating raft to the Star Sea and placed the Weaver Girl's "Zhiji Stone" in Chengdu, forming a "Zhiji Stone Road".It is said that couples make a vow of love together on the raft, and this oath can be heard by Yue Lao, and their love will also be blessed by Yue Lao, and their determination will remain unchanged.
Time flies, and our trip to Lianbao Yeze is coming to an end, but I have to say that every step in Lianbao Yeze is open-minded and clear.
Conclusion
Lianbao Ye, its ever-changing appearance makes us have infinite reverie about this mysterious pure land, and it is really not enough to understand it in a short period of time. The majesty of the first sight, the softness of the goodbye, it has become another unsolved mystery in our lives. On the one hand, there is a horizontal knife lying on the horse, how can the general return in a hundred battles, arrogant and rugged, the wind blows a hundred zhang, the future is unknown and there is no regret, on the other side is a beautiful girl who nodded on her face, the soft skin color is pitiful, the willow waist is slender, the rain hits the railing, and she looks forward to the king's return. Passing through the vast mountain peaks, we have embarked on the way back, looking back, the lotus treasure leaf is worthy of being a secret place in western Sichuan, a pure land on earth!
Friends who don't know where to go on National Day really strongly recommend coming here. The main attractions in the Lianbaoye Scenic Area are four lakes and four ditches, if you have enough time, you can visit slowly, if you drive with camping equipment, you can also stay overnight in it, watch the stars in the sky, and wait for the sun to shine on Jinshan, which will be unforgettable for a lifetime, and it is worth the trip.
