After admiring the shocking Meili Snow Mountain Rizhao Jinshan, we will go to Tibet along the Meili Grand Canyon of the Lancang River. Today we will leave Yunnan and arrive in Tibet. The first stop in Tibet: the salt well in Qamdo area
Yanjing is a magical place in Tibet. Historically, it was the main road from Tubo to Nanzhao, and it was also the only way for Yunnan tea to be transported to Tibet. The cultural landscape of Yanjing and Yantian is now the only surviving artificial primitive salt-drying landscape on the "Tea-Horse Ancient Road". The local government has declared the salt well as a world cultural heritage.
The salt field in Yanjing, known as "the work of the sun and the wind", still completely retains the world's unique ancient salt-making technique. Even more amazing is the use of the same source of brine, the same processing equipment and the same processing techniques
But the salt made on both sides of the Lancang River is red and white. The salt people have built thousands of salt pans layer upon layer on both sides of the Lancang River. Each time they are filled with brine, they can harvest about 10 kilograms of crystallized salt from each salt pan in two or three days.
Standing on the top of the mountain on the left bank of the Lancang River and looking down, the river flows southward, and the red and brown mountains reveal huge wrinkles
Whenever the milky white mist slowly rises from the dense forest deep in the mountains at the beginning of the zodiac, or when the sun sets and reflects the snow-capped mountains in the distance, a group of Tibetans hold the cross on their chests and recite silently in their hearts. Bible prayers. In this small village, the God who accompanies many Tibetans throughout their lives is not the Eastern Sakyamuni, but the Western Jesus. This is the Yanjing Catholic Church. The Tibetan-style White Pagoda and the Catholic Church are far away from each other. It is a model of Chinese and Western cultural exchanges and integration. When the car left Yanjing and crossed the 4,200-meter Hongla Pass, it encountered the glamorous Hongla Mountain unexpectedly
Snow outside the car window, covered with rolling mountains
The colorful forest in autumn is dotted with snow
