In the early morning of February 27th, I woke up at dawn, and it was already seven o'clock. I went to the balcony upstairs to take a few photos of the morning light. This inn is close to the Erhai Lake, and there are two spherical fiberglass chairs on the balcony to sit on. The scenery of the Erhai Lake is panoramic. If you have time, make a pot of tea and drink it. Facing the Erhai Lake, the heart is warm and the flowers are blooming. I will go to Yuanmou to see the soil this morning. Lin, time is tight.
For breakfast, I still eat rice noodles at the restaurant next door. After checking out at 8 o'clock, I took two taxis to Dali Railway Station. People in Dali get up late in the morning, so it is difficult to hail a taxi, so you have to leave enough time. The second car finally arrived at the train station at 8:40, took the ticket and entered the station, and took the train to Chuxiong at 9:05. Arrive at Chuxiong after 10:00, and then take the special line bus to Chuxiong Bus Station at 10:30, 10 yuan per person. Take the long-distance bus at 11 o'clock and arrive at Yuanmou Bus Station in 2 hours. At the canteen of the passenger station, while negotiating with the shop owner about chartering a car to Langbapu Tulin, I bought some dry snacks for lunch. The journey must be difficult.
The driver came and sent us to Yuju Hotel first, opened the room and put our luggage away. We set off for Langbapu Earth Forest before 3:00 pm. We walked on the dirt road along the way, and the road conditions were not very good. We arrived at Langba at 4:00 pm Paving soil forest.
Buy a ticket to enter the scenic spot, take a tour bus to the viewing platform of the No. 4 scenic spot, and then go all the way 4--3--2--1, come up from the No. 1 viewing platform and then take the tour bus to go out, and walk for 2 and a half hours. , It was already sunset when we came out. It was past 8:00 in the evening when we returned to the county seat, and we had dinner again, and it was already past 10:00 in the hotel to rest.
Langbapu Soil Forest, also known as Xinhua Soil Forest, is located in Xinhua Township, 33 kilometers west of Yuanmou County, 15 kilometers away from Banguo Soil Forest, at the junction of Yuanmou, Dayao and Mouding counties, with an altitude of 1560-1640 meters. It covers an area of 1.4 square kilometers. It is a special landform eroded by flowing water and a special lithological combination. It is under the influence of comprehensive factors such as tectonic movement, climate, frequent neotectonic movement, fast crustal uplift rate, and strong erosive force of flowing water. Forming. Developed in lacustrine deposition of fine sand and clay layers with a small amount of fine gravel layers.
The soil forest is tall and dense, with a complete range of types. The conical soil pillars are particularly well developed, generally ranging from 8 to 25 meters high, and the highest is 42.8 meters, ranking the crown of single soil pillars in Yuanmou soil forest. In shape, there are various shapes such as conical shape, peak cluster shape, snow peak shape, city wall shape and so on. The snow-peak-shaped soil forest has a large scale, up to 40 meters; in terms of color, the top is mainly purple-red, the middle and upper parts are gray, and the middle and lower parts are yellow-based, with brown-red, gray-white, brown-yellow, gray-black, Fuchsia and other multi-color composition.
Seen from a distance, the Langbapu Earth Forest in Yuanmou, Yunnan Province looks like a magnificent palace. When you are in it, you feel as if you are facing an ancient dream. Looking closely, some look like majestic warriors, ready to go, some earth pillars are like cones and swords, pointing directly at the blue sky; some are like slim girls, gazing into the distance; The earth pillars are tall and straight, like Huabiao and giant bamboo shoots. Some soil pillars are overgrown with weeds or wild flowers; The endless gestures are breathtaking. Looking at the clouds, it is lifelike and lifelike. The various shapes seem to make people enter another novel world. At dusk, the earth pillars looked like gray-haired old men, silently watching the people in Langbapu.
The mountains around the Langbapu soil forest are relatively gentle, and the mountains are full of Yunnan pine trees, which are green all the year round, cattle and sheep are everywhere on the slopes, and the villages are sparse. A Liusha River meanders from the middle of the soil forest to the Langbapu Reservoir, like a dancing silver-green ribbon, shining brightly in the sun.
Several miniature paddy fields with irregular edges are like bright mirrors, reflecting the magnificent scene of blue sky, white clouds and soil forest. Entering Langbapu soil forest is like being in the fantasy world described in "Arabian Nights" and the dream world in "Journey to the West", which makes people linger on the edge of dreams and reality. (From 360 Encyclopedia)
First look at the soil forest from top to bottom, like castles and palaces. After going down the mountain later, look up from the bottom, like a sharp sword piercing the sky, try to use your imagination.
Going up the mountain for a while, going down the mountain for a while, taking pictures of the beautiful scenery while walking, it is really spectacular. Compared with the Wumao soil forest that I went to the next day, the Langbapu soil forest is still beautiful and majestic.
As the sun goes down, I return with satisfaction. The three forests in Yunnan (Lunan Stone Forest, Yuanmou Earth Forest, and Luliang Colorful Sand Forest) have set foot in the second forest.
The hotel is an apartment hotel, relatively clean and hygienic, worthy of the price, after all, only 118 yuan/room
On February 28, chartered car in the morning, Wumao Earth Forest, Yuanmou People's Museum, and Kunming Daguanlou Park in the afternoon
In the morning, go to the breakfast shop on the street to eat by yourself, and then check out directly. It is convenient to charter a car, put your luggage in the car, and drive to Wumao Tulin at 8:00, and arrive at Wumao Tulin at 8:45. Early people are few. The driver parked the car in the parking lot, and we bought tickets to enter. Since we were older, we chose to take a tour bus to the highest viewing platform, and it was easier to walk from top to bottom.
Yunnan soil forests are widely distributed, among which the Wumao soil forests, Banguo soil forests and Langbapu soil forests in Yuanmou County are the best. It is called "Three Forests of Yunnan" together with Luliang Colorful Sand Forest and Lunan Stone Forest. Yuanmou Wumao Earth Forest is located in Yuanmou County, 32 kilometers away from the county seat. It is a must-see place.
As soon as you step into the soil forest, the various shapes carved by the god of wind and rain for millions of years seem to make you enter another novel world. Some soil pillars are like cones and swords, pointing directly at the blue sky; some are like majestic warriors, ready to go; some are like graceful girls, gazing into the distance; Barriers, bare bodies...Of course, various forms of soil pillars are distributed in a mixed manner, which makes the soil forest form a colorful and endlessly changing posture, which is breathtaking. You will find that these soil forests are mostly composed of sand and clay. According to the investigation of scientific workers, there are also abundant animal and plant fossils, such as huge silicified oak-like wood, saber-toothed elephant, Chinese rhinoceros, saber-toothed tiger and so on. They were deposited in the early Quaternary period two million years ago. The sand and clay contained a small amount of calcareous cement, occasionally mixed with some iron complexes. Over the long years, these soils have continuously absorbed water, swelled, lost water, and shrunk, resulting in cracks on the ground; in addition, rainwater has been scoured and flowed along the cracks. Over time, the cracks gradually deepened, widened, and extended, and the soil columns gradually appeared and increased. Thus forming soil forest. The quartz, agate, etc. mixed on the soil pillars, after being exposed, emit a strange brilliance under the sunlight.
Soil forests are formed over tens of millions of years under the action of external forces in nature (mainly water flow). Soil forest is a special form of lost landform, a strange natural geographical phenomenon, which is formed by comprehensive factors such as topographic structure, composition material, tectonic movement, hydrology climate, soil mass force and hydrodynamic force.
Play until 11:40, and arrive at Yuanmou Museum at 12:10. The museum is free to visit, just register.
Some museums are a bit scary inside, and they come out after a little visit. Then eat at the restaurant opposite the museum. The price here is not bad, the taste is good, acceptable, and it is convenient to go out to the expressway here. After a good meal, I will go back to Kunming and send it directly to Golden Harvest Hotel for check-in.
