Live Your Best Lives
On April 10th, our family and friends group started their trip to Sichuan.
The first stop is the Leshan Giant Buddha. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the Big Buddha, we climbed back and forth to a height of 50 floors. It is said that the Buddha shed tears three times in more than 1,300 years, and major events occurred in China - 1962, 1963, and 1976. Scientists have their own explanations, and ordinary people have their own opinions. Buddha has a lofty status in the hearts of ordinary people.
Today, the Buddha is quiet and his eyes are kind, indicating that we have a bright future.
What I ate at night was actually a food stall, and it tasted good. Although we have repeatedly asked for lighter, spicy will accompany us for about 10 days.
April 11 Today's march was unfavorable, and before entering the gate of Mount Emei, he sprained his thigh.
In the first line of sky in front of Qingyin Pavilion, I chased the "monkey layman". A young man had just hidden the blue plastic bag behind him, a monkey hugged his thigh, and the other monkey quickly tore open the plastic bag, took the food and left, and the young man was at a loss.
Just as I was taking pictures, I accidentally slipped and my body suddenly rotated 360 degrees and crashed into the buttocks standing on the rock behind. At this moment, a scream of "Brother beware" sounded. Just as I bumped into that butt, my sister rushed over and grabbed my arm. Oh, I completely forgot that my right leg was no longer able to support me for thrilling moves. Thinking about it afterwards, if it weren't for my sister's pull and the nobleman's firm buttocks, I might have climbed over that rock, flipped forward 360 degrees, smashed into the railing on the side of the mountain, and completed difficult technical movements.
On the way to the Golden Peak, some people in our team took heart-saving pills from time to time, more than 3,000 meters, and it was thick fog and panting. Strangely, there are no mountains and forests around the golden dome, and the big Buddha only occasionally has a cloud floating by, and the golden light shines on the golden peak.
April 12 Today, our group of relatives and friends crossed the Hu Huanyong Line for the first time. This line connects Heihe in Heilongjiang to Tengchong in Yunnan, which is the dividing line between our country's population and the natural landscape. to the southeast of the line is "Apricot Blossom Spring Rain Jiangnan"; To the northwest of the line is the "White Horse Autumn Wind Stuffed".
Due to the overhaul of the Erlangshan Tunnel, we took a detour to Provincial Highway 306 and passed through the Dadu River Gorge, where we saw the ferrata and iron basket ferry between the two mountains for the first time, and also witnessed the ancient road Yizhai for the first time. There are also many mountain people living on high mountains in Daliang Mountain and have become mountain people on the ladder.
Anshun Village was the place where Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others made decisions before the Red Army crossed the Luding Bridge. Now after investing 10 million yuan, it has become a red tour attraction.
In the evening, enter Hailuogou.

visited Swallow Gully on the morning of April 13. As soon as the tour bus entered the scenic spot, we were greeted by goats and black-haired wild boars, and in some places they were still in groups, reminiscent of Yellowstone Park in the United States. Of course, the level of development and management here is only relatively rudimentary, and you can feel a kind of wild fun of the primeval forest.
In the afternoon, the rain was a little heavy. We marched to the well-developed Hailuogou No. 1 and No. 2 camps, rainy and foggy, and we couldn't see anything from a distance, and we couldn't take pictures, so we had no choice but to go home.
I didn't have the chance to see the true face of Gongga Mountain today, and I couldn't see the beauty of Ya'an, hey, I could only do it.
In the evening, we soaked in the Gongga Shentang hot spring, which was very comfortable.

April 14 Today's trip is these two songs:
Arrive at Luding, enter National Highway 318, and see the majestic Erlang Mountain, The station wagon sounded the sonorous and powerful melody of "Singing Erlang Mountain".Before the Erlangshan Tunnel was opened, the driver was like breaking into a ghost on the winding mountain road.
In the afternoon, we entered Mugecuo, which is the place of Kangding love songs. On the scenic highway, we were surprised to find that at an altitude of 3,000 meters, the trees were dressed in silver, and the top of the mountain was covered with snow. The tour guide said that there are very few glaciers here, and what you see is the wind and snow that came all night last night. Everyone got excited all of a sudden. Yesterday in Hailuogou, I was going to see the lowest latitude glacier in the world. It's just that the ropeway is out of service, and it is heavy rain, and we missed it with that glacier. Today, we not only see pieces of silver wrapping, but also a very tall Baektou Mountain. Moreover, from 2 p.m., the snow flew all over the sky, all the way from the scenic spot to the night in Kangding. God really cares for our family and friends.
In the evening, we passed Paoma Mountain and entered Kangding City. The beautiful singing of "On the Mountain of Horse Racing" flowed in our car many times.

On April 15, a night of wind and snow made us not leave for Danba until noon.
Although the weather was gloomy, everyone wore sunglasses, because the mountains were dressed in silver, which was very dazzling. The silver wrap along the way gave us Shanghainese an unprecedented experience.
Zheduo Mountain is the first pass of Kangba and is a watershed in Sino-Tibetan culture. After crossing the Zheduo Mountain, we entered the Kangba Tibetan area. As the locals said: "Erlang Mountain, which scares people to death, turns over Zheduo Mountain, which scares people to death." "Today's more than 6 hours of driving, most of the time is above 3,000 meters, the turning point of the Zheduoshan Highway, at an altitude of 4,298 meters. Everyone is cold and dizzy, and they all have altitude sickness. The tour guide used various methods to prevent us from dozing off, for fear that someone would not know if something was wrong.
Fortunately, everyone successfully climbed over Zheduo Mountain, visited Tagong Temple and Tagong Grassland along the way, and saw the sacred mountain of local Tibetans - Yala Snow Mountain. We also saw a team of bicycles, everyone shouting and cheering them on.

On the morning of April 16, we visited the beautiful countryside - Danba Jiaju Tibetan Village. The Jiarong Tibetans integrate the watchtowers and the village houses, scattered in an orderly manner among the green trees, on the high mountains, full of charm.
In the afternoon, we were in Shuangqiaogou in Siguniang Mountain. Most of them are above 3,500 meters, and when the tour bus arrives at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, it is close to 4,000 meters, plus I am coughing, and it is a little difficult to breathe. Fortunately, I took a deep breath many times, which did not affect my enthusiasm for taking pictures.
The management of this scenic spot is good. The scenic tour bus we were on suddenly stopped at a corner and reversed, and everyone thought it was a car that came over. At this time, the driver suddenly said loudly to the two tourists touring on the plank road: Please walk on the main road, it is late, I am afraid that the management will not be able to see you. We listened and not only sighed.
▲Siguniang Mountain
On the morning of April 17, in Changpinggou of Siguniang Mountain, enjoy the Siguniang Mountain changing at different times and angles.
The main peak of the mountain is 6,250 meters above sea level, which is a key mountain for hiking and mountaineering vigorously promoted by the state. The mountain is located 16 kilometers away from the Changpinggou hike, so most tourists cannot see the whole picture of Siguniang Mountain. Compared with the Shuangqiaogou I visited yesterday, the scenery is a little monotonous.
Altitude sickness for several days in a row made everyone exhausted. Last night, many people, including me, who lived on the 8th floor of the hotel at an altitude of 2,900 meters, had a hard time sleeping. I was out of breath and felt the threat of a serious illness. This morning, the first thing everyone said when they met was that they couldn't stay here. The tour leader immediately negotiated with the tour guide and immediately moved to Dujiangyan at an altitude of more than 700 meters after the morning tour.
In the evening, on the station wagon that arrived in Dujiangyan, in the hotel, everyone's vitality returned, and everyone was full of joyful smiles.

April 18 Qingcheng Mountain is divided into front mountain and back mountain, the front mountain is Taoist culture, and the back mountain is a good place for hiking and leisure. We went to the back mountain. The cable car took us to the first stop, and the guide said that if you want to go to the top, you will have to hike for another 2 hours, and then take the second cable car to the top. For our family and friends group, heading to the top of the mountain is powerless.So, we spent 2 hours going down the mountain. The mountains and rivers along the way are beautiful and the air is excellent. Everyone danced together from time to time, and cheerful laughter sprinkled among the mountains.
In the afternoon, visit Dujiangyan, which has a history of more than 2,200 years. From a photographic point of view, there are quite a few highlights there. Compared with when I visited in 1992, there is now a whole set of tour programs. As a Shanghainese, enjoy the treatment of locals here to thank the people of Shanghai for their assistance in the construction after the 2008 earthquake.

>4 yuan 19th Originally, I entered Chengdu today, and I could relax, but as a result, I still kept running.
Jinli, like the City God Temple in Shanghai, at noon, snacks are crowded on the street.
People's Park allowed us to see the leisure of Chengdu people: we walked to two places, each with hundreds of mahjong tables, hundreds of old men and women, some still eating, and some have started the second half of the day. For 18 yuan per person here, you can play mahjong for a day. Drinking tea, the lowest Emei fragrant tea is 13 yuan, and lunch is about 15 yuan.
Because we were worried about queuing up for hot pot at night, we went to find out about the situation in the afternoon. In a hot pot restaurant called Xiaolongkan, because at the entrance of the subway, at around 3 p.m., both sides of the two-story escalator were already full of people queuing up to eat hot pot. We found another Xiaolongkan, and after eating for more than an hour, there were dozens of people waiting outside. On the way back to the hotel, there was a queue outside several hot pot restaurants, which amazed us: Chengdu people love hot pot like mice love rice.

April 20 Today is a free trip. At around 10 a.m., I started to look at Kuanzhai Alley, which was a bit like Tianzifang in Shanghai. The wide alley is only 2 or 3 meters wider than the narrow alley. There are even several places to dig out earwax, 60 yuan each time. We drank tea, chatted, and read books in the narrow alleys, enjoying the most leisurely day of the 11-day trip.
In the evening, dine at the Hongxing Hotel at Yipintianxia Station of Metro Line 2, tasting dishes at the level of Shanghai Hotel, which is very different from the aggressive Sichuan cuisine. There is a local advertising slogan: The sun and moon are bright in the cup, and the world is in the pot. Let me change it: the sun and moon in the cup are clear, and the world is bright in the plate.

4 yuan 21 Say goodbye to the slow life in Chengdu, drive 300 kilometers in 5 hours, arrive in Chishui, Guizhou, and visit Shizhhangdong Waterfall, which is the largest waterfall in the Yangtze River Basin. It is 76 meters high and 80 meters wide, and it is also the largest waterfall in our country's Danxia landform. When we entered directly in front of the waterfall, dense water droplets hit our faces with the help of the mountain breeze. To protect the camera, we had to leave quickly and look for another photo platform.
Chishui Waterfall was first opened to the world by CCTV in 1986. There is a long story here: it is said that the eunuch Xie An of the Ming Dynasty was ordered to collect high-quality nanmu to build a palace and became the first person to enter here to collect wind. It's just that the mountains and forests are dense, and the nanmu cannot be transported, so it can only live in seclusion in the mountains for more than 20 years. For this reason, a talented man in the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem: "The cave is ten zhang deep, locking the clouds and smoke, Xie Jian has been delayed for two or five years." The timber gathering envoy has not yet returned, and the green fields in the mountains have already become fields.
The new version of Journey to the West was also filmed here.

On April 22, it was agreed that when you go to the scenic spot, the sky will not rain. However, in the scenic spot, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. I can only hold an umbrella in my left hand and take pictures with my right hand. The Buddha Light Rock in Chishui is very distinctive. On the mountain road, turn a corner and you can see the waterfall, some of which are 5~6 waterfalls gathered in a short place, but there is no angle to take pictures of them all. Due to the rain, the waterfall is abundant, not as "artistic" as those "bridal veils", and the whole scenic spot is roaring, which is simply a drum and music! After more than an hour in the scenic spot, I was almost wet up and down, but I was in a good mood.
In the afternoon, choosing liquor in Moutai Town, that enthusiasm and meticulousness fully reflect the shrewdness of Shanghainese. When they left Moutai Town at 3 o'clock, everyone was full of gains. At this time, even the socks and shoes were already dry.
In the evening, the tour guide actually bought two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao to entertain guests, and everyone was happy to eat......

the morning of April 23, I went to pay my respects to the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall, and according to the police's prompts, our vehicle turned three times and could not find a parking lot, so we had to give up.
As soon as I returned to the hotel, I was informed that the plane was grounded due to thunder and heavy rain in Shanghai at night. This is the first time in several years that our family and friends have encountered this situation. After urgent consultations, he could only take a detour to Nanjing to go home.
Our family and friends travel twice a year, and the route is designed repeatedly. Then we charter a car, which is arranged by the tour company. During the itinerary, we will also adjust the program at the last minute according to the weather and the guide's suggestions. As for everyone's favorite rice wine, it is shipped to the grounded travel company by express delivery early. The cost of meals every night is arranged by us, so that everyone can taste the local delicacies as much as possible. Every time I travel, everyone only adds one or two hundred yuan per person in terms of food. Because of the good play, the good food, the good life, although the price is a little higher, but the whole trip, everyone laughed and was in a happy mood.
The goal of our family and friends group is to see the beauty of Kyushu and taste the delicacies of the world.
24 Last night, I tossed until after 2 o'clock in the middle of the night before entering the Nanjing Hotel. In the afternoon, we took the high-speed train back to Shanghai. It's been 15 days, and I'm home.
