Live Your Best Lives
This trip is full of surprises, and there are also small "regrets" (Dawa Mountain did not see its true face). I can confidently say that there are almost no travelogues on the whole network that are the same as my route, of course, it is not that my route is perfect, but on the one hand, many people will go alone, such as the Jinkou River , the Grand Canyon or Dawa Mountain, etc., but not my combination, and on the other hand, the most important thing is that I know that there are many experienced gods on this route, but there are not many people like me who will write in detail, so interested friends will definitely gain from reading my travelogue carefully.
Before the main text of the travelogue begins, draw a key point! Every place needs special attention from friends!
1. The Grand Canyon of the Chrysostom River , which has been very popular recently, is known as the "most beautiful water highway" on various video platforms, or "attractions that foreigners are not allowed to enter" These eye-catching texts and pictures are beautiful, I can only tell you from my experience of being here twice, first, you can come, you can feel it, but those pictures and videos on the Internet that attract you or something, I don't think you can take pictures, it's best not to take them! Because the entire water road is prohibited from parking on the whole line, the two parking lots near the tourist center of the scenic spot on the way are not the most beautiful road section to take pictures at all, to put it bluntly, those Internet celebrity photos are taken or the people who take them, and even many Internet celebrity photos are directly displayed as illegal parking and shooting, this really can't be imitated! The first time I came here to observe the route, this time I came to prepare for the drone to follow the car to take a picture, and then I understood that it could only be achieved by "illegal" parking, so I gave up directly. In addition, when I came, it was not a big holiday or peak season, if it was a big holiday, if you learned to stop and take pictures with these Internet celebrities, this road would definitely be blocked! Second, the Jinkou River Grand Canyon has the most invincible view of the Grand Canyon itself (not the water highway), not under the canyon, but in the cliff village "Gulu Village", which will be written in this follow-up travelogue.
2. I must emphasize that when I really arrived in Gulu Village this time, I realized how "misleading" Internet celebrities are! Let's put it this way, to use a sentence from a big brother from another province at the scene that day: These grandsons...... Whether it is an ancient road village, a cliff village, or a ladder on major platforms, the photos and videos found must be very attractive, yes! The place where they took pictures was on the road to Gulu Village, which is right! However, when you really climb up, you will find out that the Internet celebrity photos and videos posted by "these grandsons" have not even reached one-third of the distance! I watched a lot of related pictures and videos before I came, and after walking, I realized that this group of Internet celebrities was just to check in and take pictures, and they didn't go up to the real Gulu Village at all! So, if you just want to learn from these Internet celebrities, follow you, if you want to really challenge the whole process like us, please read my travelogue instructions carefully.
However, let me say one thing here, this challenge to Gulu Village is not that I want to go, but that many friends can't think of my parents want to go! Yes, in the end, my father was nearly 80 years old and challenged the whole process, and it took 7 and a half hours round trip! This should be considered an inspirational story, what I want to say is that he can do it, what about you!
After climbing, my experience is only one sentence: I must come once in this life, but I don't want to come a second time.
3. Dawa Mountain, as I said earlier, our regret this time is that we have not seen the true face of Dawa Mountain, I have no say in this regard, but the biggest problem this time is that I found that almost all the navigation information used here is wrong, and the route planning is almost wrong! Therefore, if you want to come here to play, you must read my travelogue carefully in this section.
Because as I said above, I am combining tours like this, if you are only interested in one of the places, then you can choose the corresponding part of the travelogue to watch, which will be more efficient.
Our Itinerary
Day1 May 29 Chengdu -- Jinkou River Grand Canyon, live in the first village of the canyon, Shengli Village (Railway Soldiers Museum, Guancunba Station)
Day 2 May 30 Tianti Renjia (Gulu Village) -- Dawa Mountain, live in Dawa Mountain
Day 3 May 31 Dawa Mountain -- Chengdu
On the first day, we set off relatively early, in fact, if you just want to feel the Jinkou River Grand Canyon, including going to the "White Bear Gully", or even just checking in at the Internet celebrity check-in places in "Gulu Village", Chengdu One day round trip is no problem, or go to the Grand Canyon and then stay at Dawa Mountain, the day is also easy. Because we are planning for three days and two nights, my wife and I take our parents and elderly together, we never do trips just to check in, so the time arrangement is relatively easy. Starting from home at a little after 8 o'clock in the morning, Tianfu Street was blocked for nearly 20 minutes on the high speed, and after 9 o'clock to Jiajiang Tianfu Rest Station to rest, if you can go earlier, in fact, Tianfu Rest Station to have breakfast is a good choice. Here is a little hint, many friends may know that the Tianfu rest area is still an AAAA scenic spot, in fact, behind the charging station in the rest area, there is a museum, and there is a small garden, where it is very comfortable to rest and charge.
After resting for almost half an hour, I continued on the road, and arrived at the parking lot of the scenic spot at about 11:30. This time I just brought my parents over, this is not the point, but I need to rest here for lunch.
There are several restaurants and homestays here, the restaurants are basically tofu pudding rice, we randomly chose a "Biao Ge", sitting on the edge of the Dadu River to eat in a good environment, the taste is average, especially the Tuotuo meat is actually made of lemongrass, and the good Daliangshan flavor makes the taste of Thai cuisine.
When I was eating, I flew a drone and posted a few photos first, followed by a collection of videos
After eating, there is another important point here, friends must read carefully!The entire so-called Sichuan most beautiful water highway Jinkou River Grand Canyon section, there are two suspension bridges, basically everyone checks in and takes pictures of the concentric bridge in the first village of the canyon where we stayed later, and the other one not far from the visitor center of this scenic spot, on the one hand, it actually belongs to the internal use of the hydropower development company, on the other hand, it is not very easy to go up. Because I went this time, I will tell you a little.
First of all, leave the parking lot of the scenic spot and drive forward ( in the direction of Hanyuan ) not far away is the second parking lot, the car parks here, get off the car and walk forward, in front of this large suspension bridge. It takes about ten minutes to walk, and the owner of the homestay told me that I can park the car on the bridge and then go up, I still say that it is illegal to park like this on the whole line, at least we refuse this behavior. There was a path under the bridge to climb up, but it was quite shaky, my father and I went up, but my wife and mother didn't. Secondly, there is a sign on the bridge, which is an internal bridge within the company, but no one will let you walk on it, so you can go up and take pictures or something. In addition, although the bridge is basically not visited by tourists, unlike the Tongxin Bridge behind it is full of people, to be honest, the perspective of the water highway is much better, and you can only feel it here.
Parking here to start walking
This is the view of the water highway from the bridge
Another point, if you are really interested in this bridge, especially during the off-peak holiday period, OK, keep watching!
Drive forward ( in the direction of Hanyuan ) and cross the bridge about 100 meters away, there is such a sign
Turn right 180 degrees There is such a road up the mountain, only one car can pass, it is impossible to make a mistake, drive directly up to the bridgehead, the dam at the bridge head can park 2 or 3 cars, you can turn around, I can only say here, but first express my position, I do not recommend doing this, the reason is that the signs in the picture above are marked!
If you want to stay for one night in the Grand Canyon, you can either start the scenic spot visitor center, where there are several homestays, mainly in the so-called first village of the canyon: Shengli Village, which is what many people call the "Railway Soldiers Museum" or "Guancunba Station". The whole village road is very narrow, it is a one-way street, from the direction we used to go through a tunnel to reach the "Railway Soldiers Museum" (here began to be rebuilt last year, temporarily closed), this travelogue I made a new attempt for the first time, I will show you the itinerary recorded by the dash cam, on the one hand, you can feel this journey, on the other hand, you can understand how congested the traffic here will be if it is during the holiday!
Say stop first.
This time I want to "sorry" a homestay, because I actually went through 3 months for various reasons from the time I decided on this route to the end. First of all, there are not many good hotels or B&Bs here, they are all B&Bs similar to farmhouses, so I directly chose one from the time I decided to come, and then consulted a lot of details by phone, and added the proprietress V, during which she consulted her many times, and she was very enthusiastic every time! It's this one, the name is very cute, "three small nests". From the Railway Soldiers Museum into the village, it is not far away. As far as my personal comparison is concerned, the information I can see on China-TravelNote is relatively good.
The embarrassing thing is that by the time I finally set the time, their family was covered by health care and there was no house! It was also my urgent search for other homes, in fact, there were one or two choices, especially the river view house (looking at the Dadu River and the water highway) looked good, and then I directly saw the reviews of another homestay and found that it seemed that the so-called river view house was close to the highway and the terrain was the lowest, and it was noisy, so I finally chose this one.
I would like to say that the owner of this house is also super enthusiastic!! Very enthusiastic, from the boss himself to his wife to his parents, everyone is very happy together, there is no need to worry about anything at all. To be honest, you don't need to have more accommodation conditions here, the room hardware has too much hope, the whole is like this, anyway, it is clean and clean, after all, it is not expensive.
And the point of "mistake" is also the most "perfect" point of our stay here this time. Friends, you might as well go back to the dash cam video where I started to enter the village, which is why I want to post this perspective video this time, think carefully about it We came on Monday, non-holidays, the Railway Corps Museum is still temporarily closed, you can look at the cars parked on both sides of the road when you fast enter the village in the video. I contacted the owner of the homestay before, telling him that if the parking lot at the entrance of the Railway Soldiers Museum could park, I would park there, and when I drove there, I found that it was already full, and there were not many parking spaces, so I immediately contacted the owner of the homestay, friends must watch the last two seconds of my video, did you find anything!
Yes, this homestay is the only one in the whole village that has a large yard at the entrance of the main road, and you can actually park a car in it (in fact, it is also because they are renovating the kitchen and do not do catering, and if you do catering, you can't park here).
There is a parking lot down the main road of the village, and you can also park on the street facing the river at the back, but it is basically full when we come. There is only one problem, there are many parking lots just to come to the Grand Canyon to play, and they will leave at night, so as long as it is not a holiday, parking should be OK, I don't know about holidays. Moreover, as I said earlier, this road in the village is a one-way street, and in the afternoon we were here, several cars went against the road, and finally met an incoming car on it, and we reversed down, I don't know what to think!
Friendly reminder, on the road near the river, there is the only charging pile in the village, because I didn't use it, I don't know how it is.
This village is beautiful and feeling!
A video!
Because we were very tired from walking to the suspension bridge before, we saw that there were many people on the Concentric Bridge here, so we took a bath and rested in the B&B, and continued to walk around here at almost 4:30 p.m.
Walk out of the village, cross the river, and on the opposite hill, there is a glass viewing platform with a good view!
When we came up, there was still a Yi girl paper on the live broadcast, asking the big brothers to tip, she sang.
We got off the viewing platform and went to the Concentric Bridge, there were still a lot of people, so I decided that no one would fly the drone again the next morning.
Here, a big pit reminds everyone! After crossing the bridge and going up the mountain, it is also a so-called "cliff village" and viewing platform, which is known as the best angle to take pictures of the concentric bridge and the Grand Canyon. Although it was 2 yuan per person, we gave up decisively, knowing that we would not waste our energy to come up.
Walking back, it was originally going back to the homestay along the main road to prepare for dinner, and suddenly saw that there was a sign to the Railway Corps Museum, only to know that there was a road above the village, we decisively chose to go up, an old train road paved with sleepers, very beautiful, walking up to take pictures is very feeling, there is also a monument to the Railway Soldiers behind, these are good to bring children to feel the greatness of the Railway Soldiers!
The most amazing thing is that after walking down this road, it is actually diagonally opposite our homestay!
We asked the mother of the owner of the homestay which restaurant to recommend, and the old lady was very honest, she said that she would never eat here, she didn't know, but she knew that the chef of the restaurant next to them had 15 years of experience, so dinner was here. Ordered Hanyuan specialty, jar meat and potato slices, the ice powder sold in the whole village is made of dragon juice, the color is very cute.
At night, this homestay is really quiet.
I got up after 7 a.m. and went to the Tongxin Bridge early in the morning, and finally there were no crowds of people, so I could fly down the drone, but as soon as I finished filming, there were already many uncles and aunts, mighty!
The entire Grand Canyon, yesterday and today's drone perspective, combined into two albums, share with friends. Here again, I want to shoot something comparable to those Internet celebrities, but as explained earlier, at least I won't do it, so I can only shoot here.
Back to the B&B, the B&B here basically does not include breakfast, and their fried egg noodles are 10 yuan per person.
Leaving the first village of the canyon at almost 9 o'clock, it is not far from the ladder house of Gulu Village, only a few minutes away, passing through the entrance of "Baixiong Ditch", what I originally planned to think was that according to the information I collected, Gulu Village is almost 6 hours round trip, so come back at 3 pm, either go to "Baixiong Dou" for a walk, or go to Dawa Mountain early, and maybe see the panoramic view of Dawa Mountain (it turned out that my idea was very wise afterwards, but the result was a big regret).
There is a visitor center and parking lot at the entrance of the ladder house in Gulu Village, which is also the location of the iconic "first-line sky" culvert bridge of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway.
I also took a picture at the entrance, but when I reached the top of the mountain, I found out that we actually went to their house for dinner, which will be introduced later.
Standing at the bottom of the valley, you can see the ropeway above, let me explain this to you.
If you read my travelogue, you will know that it is actually very difficult to really climb to the top of the mountain, so some friends said that it is better to take the ropeway. OK, you must look carefully, first of all, go to the ropeway on the other side of the mountain, you can indeed drive, and the winding mountain road is not easy to drive, and it takes more than an hour and a half. But you can take the ropeway to the ancient road village on the top of the mountain, and you can only do the ropeway back, so the thrill of the ladder people's challenge on this mountain road is completely gone, or in my own experience, in fact, there is really nothing to see on the top of the mountain, that is, the climbing of the mountain is beautiful. Also, I think the best way is to climb up and come back on the ropeway, but the problem is that someone has a car to pick you up on the ropeway! In fact, I consulted with the owner of the homestay I contacted at the beginning several times before I came, just to ask if it was possible to find a car to pick us up on the ropeway, but it basically didn't happen.If you can contact the car that picks you up, or if someone in your fellow country doesn't want to climb the mountain and is willing to drive to the ropeway over the mountain to pick you up, it's okay, think about this information yourself.
In addition, I started to say that it took us 7 and a half hours to go back and forth, and this information needs to be explained or "corrected"! From here to Gulu Village, a total of 6KM away, normally 3 hours up, an hour and a half down, in fact, it takes less than 5 hours. So, if you can achieve this, then our trip to Baixiong Gou or something on this day is perfect, but please don't forget that my father is doing this challenge, I have been following him all the way, especially the old man who went down the mountain has almost no support for his legs in the final stage, and I am very worried. At the same time, we rested a lot during the process of going up the mountain, to take care of the elderly, and we were delayed for more than an hour to rest and eat on the top of Gulu Village, if you brought dry food up the mountain by yourself, it would not take us so long, so I didn't say it at the beginning, according to the information I collected, 6 hours round trip is very suitable.
I don't know how to talk about these 7 and a half hours, after all, everyone's conditions are different, especially for friends who love the outdoors, this should not be so difficult, but for our family, it's different.
And on this trip, my biggest gain was that I realized that I was deceived by this group of "Internet celebrities" while walking! Follow my pictures, videos, take your time!
Our little Teddy is also a hero, haha!
This place, please pay attention, when we climbed here, we started at about 9:10, arrived here at 9:45, climbed for a little more than half an hour, please think carefully, I said it takes 3 hours to climb up, then here is less than a fifth of the distance, OK, let me tell you, soon I will know that those Internet celebrity photos and videos on major platforms are over here, that is, those people have not climbed up!
This place is marked because my mother later retired and rested here, where there is a canteen, where you can eat, and even machine hemp!
In addition, you can rent a mule here, 200 yuan per person, to carry you up the mountain, but friendly reminder, this kind of mountain road, sitting a mule is a bit scary!
In fact, this is also considered Gulu Village, after all, a village is divided into several groups, from this point of view, you can't say that those Internet celebrities are wrong, think about it in a good way, They at least promoted it here.
It should be noted here that from here on the Internet, there is a "torch square" at the top of the village, and there is a viewing platform directly down, and a large number of videos of so-called ancient road villages and cliff villages on the Internet are actually taken here! Remind me again, here, from the top of the real village, one-fifth of it is not yet there! Be sure to remember that walking along the right side of the square, turning left immediately after going down the steps is the way up the mountain, there are no signs here, so I will say it in detail.
Turn left up the mountain from here! Look carefully!
Not far up here, there is a huge shade of resting trees, where my mother felt uncomfortable, so we called her to take the puppy down and rest in the place just mentioned to wait for us.
I flew the drone here
torest and move on
I didn't go far, and when I looked back at the village I had just passed by, my friends looked closely at my red circle marked there, which was the viewing platform here, and at that moment, I suddenly felt Great enlightenment !The vast majority of the videos I have seen on various platforms before were shot on this platform, and the perspective of those so-called cliff villages was actually filmed less than one-fifth of the real destination, no wonder the big brother I met from the bottom of his heart said: These grandsons...... Hahaha!
The road up the mountain behind is more difficult, but it is the most beautiful section, first show you the drone picture, more intuitive. Let's talk a little more here, because during this filming, my wife and father separated from each other until we met at the cable car station.
After walking this beautiful mountain road, basically more than half of it is done.
After walking this section, the road to the cable car station is completely different, although it is not on the edge of the cliff, but there is no obstruction, we are lucky, it is predicted that there will be rain for a few days before coming, And after coming, the sun was shining every day, and this road, especially for me, was walking alone, exposed to the sun, and walked to despair!
In the process of climbing the mountain, we only met 3 or 4 people who came down, and a big brother arrived at the cable car station alone, and the couple had just come down from the cable car station. Seeing me and encouraging me, cute!
Do you think it's the end when you get to the cable car station? Wrong, look carefully, we came from the first line of the sky, to the cable car, less than 2 and a half hours (in fact, it takes less than 5 hours for young people to go back and forth at all) 4KM, don't forget that at the beginning I said that there is a total of 6KM to Gulu Village, yes, there is still 2KM behind, which is the real Gulu Village!
However, these 2KM need to be talked about again. First of all, I said earlier that I met a few people who went down the mountain, by the way, they were all middle-aged people, and few young people climbed up except for the Internet celebrity photos and videos below, they basically only arrived at the cable car station and did not walk the last 2KM. Secondly, between us, the proprietress of the "Three Little Nest" homestay that I contacted at the beginning but didn't live in gave me a farmer's phone number on the mountain, saying that I came up to eat and find him, his food was original and delicious, the day before my wife called to contact, but people heard that we only had 4 people, and there were too few people to receive at all, so they gave us another person to call us to find him, and I later learned that this person was the "Brother Shen" that I had no intention of taking pictures of when we started climbing the mountain, and he was the village chief or something. He kept asking us when we would arrive, in fact, we originally wanted to give up at the cable car station, because this Brother Shen was in the village committee shown on the sign, and his wife was so kind-hearted, saying that people were waiting for us to eat, let's grit our teeth and walk over!
Don't forget, friends, it only took us 2 and a half hours to accompany our father to get here, but the last round trip took a total of 7 and a half hours, which is a long delay here. Therefore, you play normally, we don't need to make a standard reference at this time.
These 2KM are more unique, they are all such winding mountain roads, and the biggest problem is exposure to the sun! There are no cars on this, so we later learned a little bit to provide another useful information for the friends who are coming in the future, you can contact Brother Shen or other people you know on the mountain to drive a tricycle to the cable car station to pick you up, anyway, the cost we sent over later was 15 yuan per person.This will save a lot of time and energy.
Halfway through, I saw the truly legendary Gulu Village from afar! Please pay attention to what I really said, and then look at the so-called cliff villages that are not even halfway up the mountain in those Internet celebrity videos, they can shoot videos here, and I will admire them.
Please note that where my red circle is located, it is the newly built Gulu Village viewing platform, which has the most invincible view of the Grand Canyon!
Finally entered the village and found Brother Shen
We thought we could eat when we came up, but it turned out that we waited for a long time, okay, take a break.
When our group of three was resting, we met two people, also middle-aged people, they drove directly to the cable car station opposite, took the cable car over, found a place to live in the village, and finally found Brother Shen to live here, it seemed to be 130 a day of food and accommodation. The information they gave me was to drive to the cable car station, an hour and a half after passing from the first village of the canyon, the road was not easy to walk or find. Just as they were together, we had a meal for 5 people, one table. The meal fee is charged according to 40 yuan per person, it should be cheaper if there are more people, not to mention the rest, local chicken, local eggs, especially old bacon, absolutely praised! The couple said that they would kill a chicken directly at night!
In addition, in fact, this is not the end of the real "ladder people", Brother Shen introduced that there is a real ladder left behind the village, which takes about half an hour to climb to the top of another mountain, a grassland. We must have given up, on the one hand, the old man was already physically exhausted, and on the other hand, his mother was still waiting halfway up the mountain. Because the couple came by cable car and were going to stay for one night, we suggested that they go and feel it tomorrow.
After eating, I came to the viewing platform behind the village, where I really felt the invincible view of the Grand Canyon! Therefore, under the canyon, you can only feel the so-called most beautiful water highway, and you can feel the magnificence of the canyon at the top of Gulu Village!
Tell those Internet celebrities that please stop misleading people, this is the real top of the ladder!
This is where you have the most beautiful view of the Grand Canyon
By theway, when you go back... This 2KM to the cable car station.。。 We called a "Didi special car"!
We left Gulu Village at 14 o'clock, met up with my mother at 15:30, rested there for a while before going down the mountain, and went down the mountain around 16:40. Because the road to Dawa Mountain is said to be a variety of winding mountain roads, I was not familiar with the road conditions, so I decisively gave up "Baixiong Dou" and went directly to Dawa Mountain, and the navigation showed that it was an hour and a half to the B&B, which was not too late.
At the beginning of my travelogue, I didn't say that when I wrote a previous travelogue about passing by the Grand Canyon of the Jinkou River , an enthusiastic friend replied to me and told me that I could go to Dawa Mountain next time I would be planted grass, and at the same time, he also told me that Dawa Mountain chose the homestay "Huajian Pass", so I compared many homes on China-TravelNote to make a choice, and Dawa Mountain had no choice, only this one.
Then, the focus of my travelogue here is not Dawa Mountain itself, except for the information about the "Luerping" hike later, we have not seen the true face of Dawa Mountain itself However, you must take a look at a lot of navigation road selection information below.
From the Chrysostom River past, the navigation is generous and definitely OK, and you can see that the mountain road has eighteen bends
And when I crossed the Dadu River into the mountains and saw the sign of Dawashan National Wetland Park, a sign behind it was actually "Flower Stream B&B", At that time, I felt that this homestay was a bit NB.
I didn't take a photo, but the dash cam screenshot, let's just look at it.
The whole road into the mountain is not as difficult as it sounds, and some people have said that it is not good to make a wrong car, but in fact, it is not, most of the parts are fine, because there are two mines in the mountains later, and there are transport trucks every day, but this road, I can't help but send a large dash cam video, so that everyone can feel its mystery up close.
Below, I have begun to focus on it again, not that I must recommend the homestay "Huajian Guo", because I know how amazing it is afterwards!
Navigation to an intersection, I was confused at first about the road in front of me, because it seemed to be building a road according to the direction shown by the navigation, and it was broken. The navigation direction in the picture below is the right direction, but the "Flower Stream Pass" sign appeared in front of me, and I turned left according to the sign in ignorance.
Below, be sure to ask friends who are interested in paying attention to the route to watch the itinerary video carefully, first make an explanation, I have edited this video, there are several paragraphs.
1. Please pause in the video for 10 seconds, the road indicated by the navigation is actually in front of me to turn right uphill, on the one hand, I didn't see an uphill, on the other hand, the original good cement road is gone here, and there is another construction site, I thought the road was broken, and then the sign of turning left "Huajian Passing" B&B appeared in front of my eyes, so I turned left.
2. There is a small surprise here, if you follow the navigation, you will not go to this village "Shunhe Village", the itinerary recorder is not good, but this village is planned and built, very beautiful! The only problem is that the road is very narrow and you can't get the wrong car or park.
3. From here on, the road behind cannot be wrong normally, but we are lucky, basically we didn't encounter a car, in short, the more we drive, the narrower it feels, until the video is 3 minutes and 50 seconds, please look carefully, go straight to indicate "Huajian Pass" B&B, and another sign indicates the construction of the broken road to turn right, I am confused again. Moreover, no matter which road, what the eyes see, it is a very narrow and rotten mountain road, this place has been in a dilemma, I stopped at this time to call the owner of the homestay, he said that it is actually possible, but I saw that the road according to the "Huajian Pass" sign was really worried, so I chose to turn right according to the prompts, walked for a short distance, and finally saw hope, everyone can experience it after watching the video!
Okay, in an extremely responsible attitude, I said that my travelogue is definitely the most detailed in this direction so far, and I later consulted the owner of the homestay, and I figured it out when I came back.
The red circle in the picture below is the video above at 3:50 where I parked and left, and you can see the difference between following the "Huajian Pass" sign and I choosing to follow the road construction sign.
We finally arrived at the homestay, this day only our family of four stayed, the boss was very enthusiastic at the door to greet us, help us carry our luggage, it should be his wife to help us check in, and then the couple enthusiastically introduced us to some strategies, etc., including we checked in and introduced us to this small village, in short, very intimate, it feels very good.
The room is definitely completely different from the farmhouse in the Grand Canyon, and of course, it is also much more expensive. My wife and I chose a double room with a small yard, the only drawback is that the room is too small and a bit cramped, my parents' twin room is much better.
There is no TV in the room, there is a projector at the bedside, just watch the program online.
After a simple cleanup, the boss recommended us to go for a walk in the village, which is said to be a century-old wooden house.
However, the biggest regret of this trip, and what I overlooked, happened here. The homestay we arrived at at 18:20 has been rested, and it is almost 20 o'clock when we walked into the village, and everyone can see that the sky is still very bright. Then, the sun was exposed every day for the two days when it was originally predicted to rain, and we all returned to the homestay after 20 o'clock after walking through the village, and the boss was still waiting for us at the door to give us various introductions.
In fact, on the way here, I originally planned to go to "Baixionggou" early in the morning, or go to Dawa Mountain first, and go to Datianchi to take pictures, because the weather is good to see Dawa Mountain. Have you got it, at 20 o'clock in the evening, you can see the top of Dawa Mountain in the B&B, so I won't stay that day, I will drive to Datianchi first, and you can see the beautiful Dawa Mountain that day. However, because my father challenged Gulu Village that day, I was a little worried about his health and hoped that he would rest early, so I only thought about checking into the B&B early on the way. In fact, if I continue to work hard, it will only take 15 minutes to drive to Datianchi to see Dawa Mountain...
Well, leave a regret, next time you make an appointment with other friends, and then go to Dawa Mountain!
The planning advice given to me by the boss is very simple, first go to Luerping, then go to Xiaotianchi, and then to Datianchi, the whole process takes less than half a day. Let's say here, the fish pond is temporarily closed, because a group of people playing off-road vehicles drove in and destroyed the wetland, here, I want to say this: these grandchildren!
Because on this day, although there was still sunshine, the fog on Dawa Mountain was very heavy, and I was not sure when it would dissipate, my plan was to go to Datianchi at noon (because the boss said that it was only there to eat), and drink tea there. I also asked the boss about the booking on the day, and prepared to stay for another night if I couldn't see it today.
Prompt again, enter "Luerping", it is nearby, there will be two, please choose the one 7KM away from us!
However, when I navigated back to the past, There is still 1.9KM away from the destination, and there is a sign for Luerping on the side of the road, and I called and asked the boss, he said that it was here, no need to worry about navigation. The entire Dawa Mountain, walking for a day is when you feel that the navigation is inaccurate.
A circle of hiking trails in Luerping, the flowers are in full bloom, it is indeed very beautiful, and it is very easy to walk! The entire Dawa Mountain, at this time, we feel the best.
Friendly reminder, there are still many "Beiyi Ridge" and the old road of the Lexi Highway of the Anti-Japanese War that friends who like the outdoors know, etc., everyone knows that it is impossible for us to go here with the elderly to explore the secrets.
In addition, Huajian Guo B&B can go directly to the foot of Dawa Mountain through the village for a long time, and there is a road that can be hiked there, but it is said to be difficult, and it is only suitable for friends who like the outdoors, and it has nothing to do with us.
When leaving, a small episode, there is a section of dirt road in the middle of Luerping, which is used by mining vehicles, the whole Luerping is now very beautiful, and a perfect trail has been built, but other plans are indeed lagging behind, on the one hand, there is no parking lot, no bathroom, etc., we came early, there was only a car with a Beijing license plate parked on the scene, we parked the car very conveniently, when we came out, there were nearly 10 cars parked here, and the magical Sichuan A actually stopped directly on the dirt road to block the road, Then it happened that several construction vehicles and large trucks were about to come in, and a large truck was about to come out, and it collapsed, and the driver on the scene scolded the parked people crazy.
Leave Luerping, navigate the small Tianchi, pass through the fish pond , there is a toilet, the dirty one cannot be commented.
Not surprisingly, the navigation is still wrong, it is displayed, in fact, there is none, but the entire scenic spot sign is very complete, so don't worry about this.
Simply stop, to Datianchi , the entire Dawa Mountain is shrouded in paint clouds and mist, and it is completely invisible, but, The entire Datianchi trail is 2.6KM, and it is very comfortable to hike again.
One point, the entire big heavenly pool, I don't know when it started, the water plants have risen wildly, the entire lake surface is almost covered with aquatic plants, and some people are cleaning up at the scene but the progress is very slow, so even if the big tile mountain appears, it is almost impossible to take pictures of the reflection in the lake now.
A circle hike, very comfortable
Find a farmhouse by the lake at noon, eat casually, there is no special feature, and it is also mainly tofu pudding rice.
The original plan was to drink tea and wait for Dawashan to appear, on the one hand, watching the clouds and fog get heavier and heavier, on the other hand, a local uncle came to tell us that it was impossible today, we discussed, I also gave up the idea of staying for another night, or drove straight home, the magical Dawa Mountain, see you next time!
The last post of the travelogue is a collection of several videos taken by a wife in the process of climbing in Gulu Village, without any special adjustments, I just want to send it to everyone to feel it very realistically, about half of the climb and then I didn't take it again, you know the road behind, I am tired and comfortable, and I am exposed to the sun, and I am not interested in shooting, haha.
