Live Your Best Lives
Many people say that traveling is just going from a place where you are tired of living to a place where others are tired of living, but I think that traveling is an act of enjoying the beautiful scenery with your eyes, measuring the earth with your feet, and accepting the baptism of the world with your soul.
In our vast land of China, the bright autumn colors are = the colors that can attract any citizen, and in the northeast, northwest, southwest and other regions, what I yearn for the most is western Sichuan. The scenery composed of gorgeous and colorful colorful forests, white snow-capped mountains, sunshine golden mountains on the plateau, and sea of clouds is enough to make anyone scream. After more than a month of preparation, our group of four finally set off for a late autumn appointment with western Sichuan.
DAY1 2/11 Chengdu - Dujiangyan Scenic Area - Bipenggou Live in Bipenggou
I rushed from home to the airport early in the morning, thinking it was a very easy time, because my companion forgot to check in online, and after some tossing, he dropped his ID card in the security check room during the security check, but fortunately he got on the plane safely. This time, after comparing several car rental platforms, the car rented from a group platform is now cheaper, renting a tank 300 cars for 9 days with full coverage insurance cost is only 2,300 yuan. The staff of Wukong Company have been contacted in advance on the 1st, they will drive the car to the airport parking lot in advance, we arrived at Chengdutianfu Airport at 11 o'clock and picked up the car directly in the parking lot, and went straight to Dujiangyan Scenic Area after picking up the car. The navigation this time was a bit unreliable, leading us around Chengdu before getting on the Ring Expressway, all the way to the parking lot of the scenic spot to park the car. I bought mixed noodles and tofu pudding at the food stall in front of the scenic spot, which was a solution to lunch. Then I saw that the bus stop had a direct bus to Qinyan Tower, 10 yuan for 1 person, because many people recommended that it would be much easier to play downstream from Qinyan Tower when I did the strategy before, so we bought a ticket and got on the bus. After waiting in the car for more than ten minutes, the car finally drove out, coinciding with Saturday, and after walking like a snail along the way for more than half an hour, the car finally arrived at Qinyan Tower. In fact, you don't have to take a car up the mountain, Anlan Bridge to Qinyan Tower is more than 100 meters, not a very steep slope, ordinary people can directly enter from the gate of the scenic spot to visit in the direction of Yuzui and then go up the mountain. We looked down at the panoramic view of Dujiangyan from the highest point, because it was cloudy, and the weather was not strong and we couldn't see anything.
Dujiangyan Scenic Area is located on the main stream of the Min River in the west of Dujiangyan City, built by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County in the Qin State, and his son around 256 BC, and is currently a well-preserved ancient water conservancy project in China. The project is composed of three main projects: Yuzui Diversion Diversion, Feisha Weir Spillway, Baopingkou Water Diversion Outlet, and ancillary projects such as Baizhang Dike and Herringbone Dike, which divide the turbulent Min River into the outer river and the inner river, the outer river drains the flood, and the inner river diverts water for irrigation, making the western Sichuan Plain a "country of abundance".
Next to the Erwang Temple, there is a pavilion called Shangshan, which places the ancient wood of Yin Shang more than 3,400 years ago, which is quiet and beautiful, and amazes the years with a "low posture".
The key points of Li Bing's father and son's Dujiangyan water system management: "When encountering the bay interception, the heart is drawn at the right time", "the interception angle when encountering the bay" refers to the place where the river has a bend, and the right angle must be modified into a curve. It is to cut off the sharp angle on the convex bank when encountering river bends during annual repairs, reduce the buffer force, make it straighter, and reduce the scouring of the river bank by the mainstream; "Fengzheng pumping" means that in the center of the main river, it must be dug deep to let the river flow according to a certain track. That is, when encountering a lot of straight river sections or river forks, the middle part of the riverbed should be deepened to achieve the purpose of mainstream concentration, so that the river water can "flow smoothly and follow the track" to avoid flooding and damaging the banks and flooding farmland.
The word "heart" in the couplet is white, and the other fonts are black, which means that other words can be blackened, and the heart cannot be black, whether it is doing things or being a person.
The first bridge of love in the world—— Anlan Bridge is a ferrata bridge across the inland water
We went all the way down the mountain to visit, Qinyan Tower→ Erwang Temple→ Anlan Bridge→ Yuzui→ Feisha Weir Vase Mouth→ Fulong Temple, and the tour time was more than 2 hours out of the scenic spot. After having dinner at the small shop before getting on the highway, I drove to Bipenggou, and arrived at Bipenggou at about half past eight.
DAY2 3/11 Bipenggou-Lixiao Road--Siguniang Mountain
After having breakfast at the hotel at 8 o'clock, I drove into the parking lot of Bipenggou Scenic Area at about 9 o'clock, at this time there were already many people queuing, and we booked tickets and sightseeing tickets on the online platform in advance.
From October to November every year, it happens to be a good time to enjoy the Bipenggou colorful forest, and the red leaf colorful forest represented by red maple and goose feet will decorate the valley with colorful colors. Coupled with the white snow-capped mountains and glaciers at the heights, and the turquoise alpine lakes nearby, the visual effect is very outstanding.
We entered the scenic spot and first took the scenic traffic bus to the first drop-off point Longwanghai, and immediately felt the beautiful scenery of Bipenggou (the whole journey from the visitor center to the Shanghai sub-reception center in the scenic area is about 30 kilometers of asphalt pavement, the road surface is in good condition, the slope is steep and curved, the masters who drive are all veterans, the car is like a speeding car, and tourists with motion sickness should take it easy).
We slowly circled along the Dragon King Sea, the sea allowance here has been more than 3,000, and a friend who was traveling with me on a swing was too excited, swinging, and too hard, If you don't pay attention, you feel a little out of breath.
Accompanied by beautiful scenery, the four of us had a lot of fun, although the sea algae continued to climb, but the state was getting better and better, and the friends who had been worried about the high reaction gradually dispelled their concerns.
We returned to the car along the plank road, and the next stop was Shanghaizi, which was the end of the scenic bus. At first glance, the time was almost 12 o'clock, so we went to the scenic restaurant for lunch first, the consumption here is still relatively affordable, not as scary as the murder and money robbery uploaded on the Internet, my door four people ordered four rice bowls and noodles, and it only cost 128 yuan.
The next stop, Panyang Lake, changed to an electric tour bus from the beginning, Panyang Lake is 3676 meters above sea level, Visitors who are not in good health may experience altitude sickness when they arrive, so I often remind my companions to avoid strenuous exercise as much as possible.
Under the autumn sun, the white snow-capped mountains, colorful leaves, and blue sky, the calm Lake Iwanyang is like a fairyland.
Take the tour bus up again to Swallow Rock Nest, which is the highest point of Bipenggou, with an altitude of more than 3,900 meters, and is also the most exciting attraction in Bipenggou Scenic Area
For example, General Peak, Empress Peak, Feilong Waterfall, Monkey Head Peak, Hunter Rock, Alpine Meadow and other scenic spots, the alpine meadow is in the middle, surrounded by a circle of peaks, probably only the east road has no peaks, the source of the stream in Bipenggou should be here, the air is very transparent, the rocks on the slope of the mountain are clearly visible, and there are many red stones on the hillside washed by a stream, but the area is not large.The shadow of the white clouds, constantly moving and changing on the hillside, is spectacular. There are many hiking enthusiasts who can climb over from Changpinggou in Siguniang Mountain, which is a relatively popular outdoor route. Two days earlier, the scenic spot also organized a Bipenggou crossing run here.
At about 2 o'clock, we took a car down from Swallow Rock Nest, and arrived at the Bipenggou Scenic Area Visitor Center at nearly four o'clock, and bought some yak ribs, yak skewers, black pears and other foods at the stall next to the parking lot to supplement physical fitness, the ribs are super salty, black pears are said to be a local endemic variety, 15 yuan 1 catty, very crispy and sweet, juicy, let us replenish the water well.
Driving a car along the Lixiao Road (Liangtaigou - Daerpu - Jiesigou) - Siguniang Mountain Town, the whole journey of Lixiao Road is more than 70 kilometers, is a provincial highway from Lixian to Xiaojin County, integrating snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, streams, forests, meadows, pastures, blue sky and white clouds, golden autumn colorful forests, glass water, single-plank bridges, primeval forests and Rizhao Jinshan, which is particularly beautiful in autumn. The weather was very good, and the colorful forests and snow-capped mountains along the way made us excited along the way.
Liangtaigou on Lixiao Road is the second largest red stone beach in China besides Hailuogou Red Stone Beach, located in the valley, stretching for one or two kilometers, which is very spectacular. Red stone beaches have been found in many places in western Sichuan, and the place with the highest concentration and number of red stones in Luding Swallow Gully is the place. The stones are all bright rust red. In the sun, these red stones are very dazzling in streams, hillsides, and bushes, and once they are washed away by rain, the red stones will become bright red like blood. The newly discovered algae is an aerial filamentous green algae with a bright red outer layer rich in astaxanthin, a carotenoid that helps orange algae resist strong UV rays at high altitudes. Scientists from the research institute once took this stone out for research, but as soon as they got off the plane, they found that the red on the stone had receded, because the air quality was poor, causing the moss on the stone to not survive.
We arrived here at nearly five o'clock, parked our car in the roadside parking lot, and continued on the road after playing at the ditch for more than half an hour because it was late. Passing through the tunnel is Da Erpu, and the bright sunlight shines on the colorful forests and snow-capped mountains, which is particularly beautiful.
On the way to Jiesigou, there were stones falling down on a hillside, which really shocked us.
The next evening, we met a group of guests who had just come from Li Xiaolu at the Jiaju Tibetan Village Inn and told us that it was snowing on Li Xiaolu that night, and when they came, they encountered heavy snow with goose feathers, and the snow on the red stone beach of Liangtaigou was 30 centimeters thick.
Soon after we turned from Lixiao Road to China Panda Avenue, the David Huishi Bridge Monument appeared in front of us, a small wooden bridge that has been preserved to this day, which witnessed the history of the victorious meeting of the two main forces of the First and Fourth Fronts of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Although it was late at this time, we still visited and remembered for a while with respect for our revolutionary ancestors. It wasn't until it was completely dark that he continued to rush to the Siguniang Mountain Town Hotel.
DAY3 4/11 Siguniang Mountain - Dawei Danzha Village - Suopo Ancient Diao Group - Jiaju Tibetan Village
Get up early in the morning, it is still drizzling outside, the temperature is about 2 degrees, after breakfast on a certain platform to find the phone number of the innkeeper in Shuangqiao Ditch, ask about the current situation in the ditch, tell us that there has just been light snow in the ditch this morning, the weather is relatively gloomy and cold, Considering the risk of getting wet from the rain, after repeated discussions, I gave up going to the Shuangqiaogou Scenic Area and set off directly to Danbajiaju Tibetan Village.
When I arrived at Danzha Village near Weihui Town along Panda Avenue, the rain gradually stopped, I habitually looked up at the steep hillsides on both sides, and found that a rime appeared on the mountain on the left, and I was surprised to tell everyone, immediately turn around in the spacious place in front of me, so that everyone could watch carefully, and my sharp-eyed boss found that there was a winding path in the opposite village to go up to the mountain of rime, we drove into the village, and asked Dolma who was herding cattle on the side of the road. After confirming that this road can go up to the top of the mountain, we slowly moved along the village path, until we parked the car in front of the abandoned primary school in Loza Village, and then slowly climbed more than 100 meters to enjoy the rime beautifully.
At this time, God also took great care of us, and it also snowed lightly during our stay. This is the winding mountain road we came from
along the way
The temperature on the mountain was low, we stayed for more than an hour and then went down the mountain, because last night we saw a yard near the town hanging with a sign for apple picking, so we slowly searched all the way, but we didn't find it, so we turned around and stopped the car at the intersection after leaving the town, walked into a house with an apple orchard in front of the door, and called out a few fellows, but a fellow really came out of the house, and we expressed our intention to buy apples, he said that his apples were basically sold out, and there were only a few left in front of the house, and they were not sold if they were not too ripe We pestered our fellow villagers and said that it didn't matter if they weren't familiar with it, we just wanted to experience it once, and we couldn't stand our entanglement, but the fellow still agreed to let us pick a little, and it was very crispy and sweet when we ate it.
At this time, the fellow said that this was an apple left for his second son to get married a few years ago, and we were not too embarrassed to pick too much, after picking five or six catties and paying and thanking the fellow villager, Then continue along Panda Avenue all the way to Danba County, have lunch and bask in the sun at a farmhouse near the county seat.
After dinner, we went to the village of the ancient watchtower group in Danba County, and when we climbed up along the winding mountain road in the village, a local car behind us also followed us closely, and at first we thought that we were going to buy tickets to enter the village, and when we stopped next to the ancient watchtower at the highest point in the village, the young man in the car got out of the car and came to us, and enthusiastically asked us if we wanted to visit the inside of the watchtower, he took us in and charged 30 yuan per person when he took us in and explained, and we gladly accepted his invitation. Enter the village and explore the interior of the oldest watchtower, which has a history of 800 years.
We visited the ancient bunker in Molo Village. Moluo Village, known as "Boxiayi" in ancient times, means Tibetan watchtower, and legend has it that in ancient times, this site was formed by more than 20 high watchtowers and dozens of buildings. Now there are only seven watchtowers left, including the two ancient buildings in front of us. We enter the building on the right, which is a five-story watchtower and a four-corner watchtower as one, one floor up to the third floor, and enter the towering watchtower at the platform on the third floor, which is a multi-functional ancient house that can be inhabited, suitable for animal storage, and easy to fortify, and still maintains a relatively intact hall, kitchen, bedroom, warehouse, pool, items such as horse gang camel bags, labor tools, etc., the watchtower is said to have a history of 800-1000 years, and there are some cracks in the wall of the watchtower. The watchtower behind it is a relatively peculiar octagonal watchtower.
WhenI made the guide, I was introduced that the tickets of the hotel in the scenic spot could be discounted, so we went directly to the visitor center to buy tickets, and the result was a sixty percent discount, here is a thumbs up for Jiaju Tibetan Village.
When we came to the booked inn near the No. 1 observation deck, we found that it was still early, so we didn't rush to check in, but continued to drive to the heights of the village, and when we arrived at the No. 5 observation deck, we found that the view and view of the antique inn next to it were very good, the house was more than 300 years old, and the watchtower behind it was also 600 years old. In the courtyard, you can see the Merdo Sacred Mountain worshiped by the Danba Tibetans and the Brother Snow Mountain in the distance, the boss said that if the weather is good in the morning, you can also see the Rizhao Golden Mountain scene behind the inn, after Dolma showed us the room, we decided to stay here and canceled the original order.
We enjoyed the beautiful scenery from the observation deck in front of the inn, and Dolma also came to the observation deck after his busy work, leading everyone to dance the pot village, and the sunset shone on the sacred mountain of Merdor , very beautiful.
In the evening, another group of guests from Neijiang who stayed in the hotel said to the owner that one of her companions' sister had a birthday today, and she wanted to see if the boss could give him a surprise program. At dinner, the boss led a big brother to our two families, saying that he was the village party secretary of the village and the owner of the house, and he learned that there were two distinguished guests on their birthdays today, and he must come over to present us with white hada to express his blessings. This also gave us an unexpected surprise with the two birthday stars.
DAY4 5/11 Jiaju Tibetan Village--Suopo Ancient Diao Group--Moshi Park--Xinduqiao Town
In 2005, in the China beauty pageant organized by China National Geographic magazine, "Danba Tibetan Village", represented by Jiaju Tibetan Village, was rated as the first of the "Six Most Beautiful Rural Ancient Towns in China". Jiaju Tibetan Village belongs to the Jiarong Tibetan Area, which is mainly in Danba County and parts of Kangding County, Ganzi Prefecture. The watchtower and the village house were originally two types of styles of buildings of different natures, and in the passage of time, the two have been organically combined. In terms of appearance, it has both the characteristics of a village house and the form of a watchtower. The watchtower houses are generally three-story or four-story, and one side is also equipped with a wing.
But no matter how the houses and wings are built, the outer edge of the top floor is surrounded by three color ribbons: yellow, black and white, and the corners of the roof are built with white pointed wall corners, forming a major feature of Jiarong Tibetan Village.
At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the weather was not very strong, cloudy and cloudy, and the beautiful scenery of Rizhao Jinshan could not be seen. Under the blue sky, the Tibetan houses of red, white and black colors, from the mountainside to the bottom of the valley, are lined up in an orderly manner, and the terraces are overlapping, and the village in the clouds becomes particularly warm here. The eye-catching white storage room is like a house born from the gods in the sky who sowed seeds.
I met the village party secretary again in the village committee building, and learned from the chat with him that there are more than 120 local villagers in the village, and there are also fifty or sixty households renting houses and homestays in the village. Now, in order to protect and rectify the original appearance of the village, no new houses are allowed, only the maintenance and renovation of old houses are allowed.
The autumn colorful forest here is very compatible with the cultural landscape, the village is located halfway up the cliff in the river valley, with a vertical drop of thousands of meters, and the whole cottage is placed in the landscape picture of nature. The gorgeous Tibetan-style houses add a humanistic scenery to this paradise-like mountain scenery, which is extremely beautiful.
After playing in Jiaju Tibetan Village all morning, we continued along Panda Avenue at noon, and at this time, Panda Avenue was full of colorful forests and autumn, which amazed us along the way.
Arriving near Yala Snow Mountain at about 3 p.m., we saw a lot of cars parked on the side of the road, so we slowed down and searched left and right, and found a group of people soaking their feet in the outdoor hot spring pool, and immediately parked the car and walked into the hot spring area, the boss said that there was no mobile phone signal here, only cash was collected, so I asked my companion to soak my feet first, I returned to the car and took the cash back to pay the bill and soaked my feet beautifully by the hot spring pool.
After soaking for an hour, we hit the road again to the Yala Snow Mountain Observation Deck to see the majestic appearance of the Yala Snow Mountain. At this time, the altitude on the road was above 3800, and a companion was already a little high after soaking his feet, and we didn't stop too much.
At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, I came to Moshi Park, which is located at the junction of Kama Village and the Middle Village in Daofu Bamei Town, Ganzi Prefecture, the scenic area is not large, but the peaks converge, like a fantasy foreign planet, thousands of towers, undulating, mountains and mountains, and thousands of scenes, like elaborate bonsai. Immersive, deeply dizzying, and lingering. Some are like white deer looking at the sky, some are like tigers descending the mountain, some are like macaques sleeping, and stone pillars, stalagmites, stone mushrooms, and stone lotus flowers are even more diverse and lifelike, really like a fairy tale maze. At this time, my companion was reluctant to get out of the car because of the high rebellion, and my wife and I entered the scenic spot for more than an hour before leaving.
Not long after passing the Muyajin Temple, the left side of the car direction showed the majesty of the Yala Snow Mountain from time to time, the weather was very powerful at this time, we parked the car in a campsite in order to enjoy the Rizhao Golden Mountain, the three of us slowly climbed up a hillside, and finally lived up to our hard work, just in time to catch up with the scene of Rizhao Golden Mountain, not long, a few minutes later the sun was covered by clouds.
After dark, come to the parking lot of the Golden Temple in the Tagong Grassland, if the time matches, you can see the beautiful scenery of Rizhao Golden Mountain here without climbing the mountain.
DAY5 6/11 Xinduqiao - Xiaba Township - Dingcuo - Zheduo Mountain Snow Viewing Platform - Kangding
There are three "ten-mile corridors" outside Xinduqiao Town, which are distributed in: 1. National Highway 318, after Xinduqiao leaves the town and between the foot of Zheduo Mountain; 2. The southern section of S215 , after Xinduqiao leaves the town, in the direction of Kowloon; 3. The northern section of S215, after Xinduqiao leaves the town, in the direction of Tagong. These three "ten-mile corridors" have a "commonality": there is no fixed landscape, and you can only walk along the road and look for beauty with your eyes. The content of the "Ten-Mile Corridor" is: rolling mountains on the side of the highway, scattered Tibetan villages, shallow streams meandering, and yellowed poplar trees in the bright autumn sun, dotted with golden autumn colors and magical light and shadow.
We walked south along the southern section of S215 at 8 o'clock in the morning after leaving Xinduqiao Town, there was a small river on the side of the road, and there were still a few leaves on the trees on the other side of the river after late autumn, and the cattle and sheep under the trees were grazing leisurely, and there were Tibetan villages hidden in the morning mist on the other side of the mountain, although it was past the best season for viewing poplar trees, the weather was not strong, gloomy, and the grass began to turn yellow, but looking at the surrounding uneven mountains, I also understood why Xinduqiao became a photographer's paradise.
After 10 o'clock, we returned to the river in Xinduqiao Town along the Shanghai-Nie line, and found that the fruits on the sea buckthorn tree were ripe, so we reached out to pick them, the taste was quite sour, but we were still not afraid, I picked some before leaving, and continued to drive to Stinccuo next to Kangding Airport.
On the way, I saw the cow dung cake made by the local villagers, and the two city people were confessing again.
When I came to Baiyu Village at noon, I saw the roadside canteen with open doors, with signs written on butter tea, yak jerky, etc., so I stopped and walked in to take a look, I wanted to buy butter tea to drink, but after shouting a few times, the boss didn't see anyone, and was about to leave, a small van on the other side of the mountain came quickly, and the driver said "It's coming", and after stopping, the driver and us greeted each other, and chatted with us in stiff Mandarin, saying that he had just gone up the mountain to see the cows, and now there are wolves here. His family was only eaten by wolves two days ago, and now they are not allowed to have guns, and there is no way to deal with wolves, so they can only be diligent to see the cows.
His yak jerky is all air-dried from his own domestic beef, there are two kinds of semi-dry and full-dried, the taste is original, spicy, delicious, we tried the semi-dried, there is a stronger beef flavor, not very adaptable, so we bought the original whole dried yak jerky, and asked him if there was butter tea, he said there is no here now, we asked him if there is one at home, not far from here, he pointed to the house a few dozen meters opposite, said that it was his home, and we asked him if he could go to his house to eat, anything to eat. He thought for a while, then called and replied to us that there happened to be three lamas chanting scriptures and praying for blessings at their house, and they were having lunch, as well as butter tea, and could make some tsampa for us to try.
The Tibetan house is a two-story structure with brick and stone walls and wooden interiors, and the halls are very simply decorated.
We were very happy to follow the fellow into his house, his wife and mother were making milk tea and snacks for the three lama masters, we greeted each other with his family and the lama one by one and then sat aside, and after a while his wife poured us milk tea, and kneaded a ball of tsampa and handed it to us, we expressed our gratitude and chatted with the lama while eating, they were lamas of the local temple, and they would come to chant scriptures for their family three times a year, his family could not speak Mandarin, but they kept adding milk tea to us, and brought us yak buns. It's very fresh and fragrant, super juicy, and I accidentally sprayed the juice on my clothes.
In order not to disturb the lama's chanting, we sat for a while and left, and the fellow warmly sent us out and invited us to come to their house in July and August, when it was beautiful, and we could still stay in their house, saying that two months earlier, there were guests from Guangzhou staying in their house for several days. After adding friends with his fellow villagers, he continued to Stincov.
Stingcuo is a lake next to the runway of Kangding Airport, which is a good place to overlook the Gongga Snow Mountain and the Yala Snow Mountain, and there are tickets for 30 yuan per person, which have free hot water and toilets, as well as swings, airplanes and bus models for tourists to take photos and check in for free. When you arrive here, you must remember to go to the shore, because only on the shore can you clearly see the reflection of the mountains, especially the Yala Snow Mountain in front of the left, one into the sky and the other in the water, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Occasionally, there were planes taking off and landing, but we didn't meet each other for more than 2 hours. There are usually many brides and grooms here to take wedding photos!
After Stingcuo came out, we saw that another companion showed signs of high rebellion, so we decided not to go back to the direction of Tagong grassland, but to the low-altitude area of Kangding.
Follow the rainbow highway S434 towards Zheduo Mountain, and you will arrive at the Zheduo Mountain snow viewing platform after a while.
The Rainbow Highway is the section of the S434 provincial highway from Zheduo Mountain to Kangding Airport, with red, yellow and blue ribbons painted in the middle, where you can see the Gongga Snow Mountain and the Yala Snow Mountain.
Zheduo Mountain is not only a representative of natural landscapes, but also an important node of culture and tourism.It is the first mountain to enter the Tibetan area, and many attractions need to pass through Zheduo Mountain to reach it. The Mt. Zeda Observation Deck is located at an altitude of over 4,300 meters and is a great place to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the surrounding area. From the observation deck here, you can see the "King of Shu Mountain - Gongga Mountain with more than 7,500 meters".
At this time, the other friend had a little altitude sickness again, so he left her to rest in the car, and my wife and I slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun was shining at the beginning, and when we were halfway up the climb, the sky suddenly changed, and thick fog began to fill the east side of the hillside, slowly covering the entire mountain, and the sun at this time looked blurry and very gentle. We played for a while at Point 2 of the Ma Bang, seeing that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and we couldn't see the true face of the "King of Shushan" here, and we were worried about another companion, so we slowly went down the mountain, bought dozens of freshly cut and grilled yak skewers in the middle of the mountain and returned to the car, and our companions also bought butter tea in the parking lot, and after drinking it, they also recovered their spirits at this time.
National Highway 318 in the Zheduo Mountain section is indeed an unusual road, the mountain is high and steep, and it took nearly an hour to drive in the direction of Kangding before we went down to Kangding City at the foot of the mountain. I really admire those riders who cross the Sichuan-Tibet line, how strong a heart it takes to overcome the fear brought about by climbing all the way!
DAY6 7/11 Kangding--Moxi Town 80 km Stay in Moxi Town
S434 Highway is a provincial highway in Sichuan Province, starting from Tagong Town in Kangding and ending in Moxigou Town in Shanghai, known as the most beautiful highway in Ganzi. The Internet is saying that the section from Kangding to Tagong Grassland is beautiful, but judging from my choice this time, the section from Kangding to Moxi Town is definitely no worse than the northern end. There are redstone river valleys, year-round snow-capped mountains, alpine lakes, meadows, various rhododendrons, fir forests, as well as cultural relics such as the Tea Horse Ancient Road and the Tangfan Ancient Road, which is a niche route with few beautiful scenery and few people.
We drove on the provincial highway 434 Kangding to Hailuogou section, first over Yajiacheng, here is the China Alpine Botanical Garden, there are alpine plants such as Western Sichuan green velvet artemisia, rhubarb, and all-edge green velvet artemisia, plus the world-famous "Xikang Magnolia", and the brilliant rhododendrons will shine in the summer flowering season, which is particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains on both sides.
The observation deck of the Gongga Snow Mountain Nature Reserve on the east side, in front of the sea of clouds, a few of us risked committing a high rebellion and jumped up and cheered with all our lives.
Red Stone Beach on the slope, even if we don't enter Red Rock Park, we don't regret it, Red Rock Park has been washed away by floods recently, and now only a rocky beach is seen.
Just parked in front of the Yajia Terrier Qinghai Bridge, and met a group of very cute monkeys, so I quickly took out the drone to track and shoot.
Yanzigou Roadside Hillside saw Kangding Millennium Magnolia King Park, as an urban management person, of course he wanted to see the true face, but the result was surrounded by a fence and could not enter. I had to glance at it from a distance and leave.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I went down to Yanzigou Town, in a farmhouse yard, I personally picked greens, the boss made local specialty milled bacon for us, Meimei Di ate a farmhouse meal, the boss said that when he came to Hailuogou, he must comfortably soak in a plateau hot spring to relieve the pain of traveling and driving in the past few days.
All of a sudden, our desire to soak in hot springs was rekindled, and we searched for several inns on the Internet to ask if there were hot spring rooms, and the answer was that the Hailuogou hot spring government was doing pipeline maintenance, and only half an acre of hot spring in the ditch could soak in the hot springs, so we went all the way, soaked in a glacier hot spring beautifully, and only arrived at seven o'clock to return to Moxi Town to stay.
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, the customer service staff of Niubeishan Hotel called us and told us that there would be a power outage in the scenic spot tomorrow for a whole day, which suddenly knocked us unconscious, and after some communication, we learned that the weather was not very good in the past few days, we could not see the stars at night, and there was no sunshine in Jinshan in the morning, so we contacted the Douyin group purchase customer service and asked if we could refund, and after getting confirmation, we decided to refund the ticket and change the itinerary. Originally, I wanted to experience the ancient glacier up close, but after the earthquake, Hailuogou was in ruins, and many people suggested not to go, so we thought about it for a long time, and because of the weather, we still gave up.
DAY7 8/11 Moxi Town-Luding Bridge-Guanghan Sanxingdui Museum
Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning, and then visit the Red Army Long March Memorial Hall and the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao's Residence in Moxi Town.
The Red Army Long March Memorial Hall is located in the center of Moxi Ancient Town, an important town of the Tea Horse Road, adjacent to China's only glacier forest park Hailuogou Scenic Area, with rich pictures, exhibition plates, basically complete objects, simulated story scenes, etc., vividly showing the glorious achievements of the left advance regiment on May 29, 1935 to capture the Luding Bridge. In order to better understand the glorious history of this long march, we specially invited a docent to explain it to us.
Chairman Mao's "Sixteen-Character Order" is magnificent. The mountain, the fast horse whipped the whip and did not dismount. Looking back in surprise, I am three feet three feet away from the sky. Mountains, the sea turns the river rolls up the huge waves. The galloping is urgent, and the battle is still fierce. The mountain pierced the blue sky, and the sword was not broken. The sky is about to fall, and it depends on the middle of it.
For lunch, I had a leisurely meal of mushroom hot pot at the Fungus King's Mansion outside the museum, and then went around the ancient town and drove to Luding Bridge. The traces left after the last earthquake can still be clearly seen along the way.
The Luding Bridge bridge body is composed of 13 iron chains with thick bowl mouths, including 9 bottom chains and 4 handrails, each of which is interlocked by 862 to 997 iron rings made by hand from wrought iron, with a total weight of more than 21 tons. The bottom chain is covered with wooden planks, and the handrail and the bottom chain are connected by small iron chains, so that the 13 chains are a whole. The abutment is the foundation of the fixed ground dragon pile and the sleeping dragon pile; The bridge pavilion is an ancient Qing style building. On the other side of the river, the ancient building on the hillside is the historic Guanyin Pavilion, which is a temple. It was under its cover that the 22 warriors of the Red Army bravely climbed over 13 iron cables, shattering Chiang Kai-shek's dream of making Zhu Mao "the second Shi Dakai".
We arrived at Luding Bridge at nearly five o'clock, and about an hour of visit time here is enough, after going back and forth on the bridge twice to feel it, after remembering the heroic and fearless revolutionary spirit of the martyrs , we hit the road and continued to move forward.
