Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed that I went back to the west of Sichuan, riding a horse and galloping on the vast grassland under the blue sky and white clouds. Colorful prayer flags can be seen everywhere. I shouted happily, Chuanxi, I'm back, I'm back. It was dawn and I woke up from the dream, but it reminded me of all kinds of thoughts about western Sichuan. The misty mountains, the endless grasslands, the green and clear lakes, the simple and humorous drivers, and the mouth-watering yak beef hot pot. endless aftertaste. The passage of time will slowly forget these memories. I want to write travel notes so that when I am in my 70s or 80s, I can still look at the pictures in the travel notes and remember those good times when I can't run out to play. Come, go there with me to have a look, you will definitely be tempted, and you will want to see her appearance in different seasons.
[About transportation]
In order to explain the traffic problem clearly, let me first upload a picture. This picture has both place names and kilometers between places. I think it will be helpful to you. While you look at the picture, I will tell you about it. Our final destination in western Sichuan is Yading, Daocheng. Of course, we have bought air tickets from Beijing to Chengdu, Daocheng to Chongqing, and Chongqing to Beijing in advance. Therefore, what we need to consider is how to reach Daocheng from Chengdu. There are three routes from Chengdu to Daocheng, one is from Chengdu to Kangding, take the 318 line, pass through Xindu Bridge, Litang to Daocheng; the other line is the Great Ring Road, from Chengdu, take Maerkang, via Seda, Ganzi, and take 317 National Highway, then go all the way south from Ganzi to Daocheng on the s217 line Jinglitang; we just wanted to take the small ring road, that is, starting from Chengdu to Siguniang Mountain, Danba, Bamei, Xindu Bridge, passing Yajiang, Litang to Daocheng. But when I arrived at Xinduqiao, I found that it was not as good as I imagined, so I temporarily changed my mind and returned to Bamei, and then went to Ganzi via Daofu and Luhuo, and then went south from Ganzi to Daocheng, which was delayed. , but it has a different harvest, and the deep-rooted scenery is a good memory for a lifetime.
Transportation and road conditions
This trip to western Sichuan has three flights, Beijing to Chengdu, Daocheng to Chongqing, and Chongqing to Beijing. In the off-season, the flight ticket from Chongqing to Beijing is only five or six hundred yuan, which is very cheap. Daocheng to Chongqing is only a few hundred yuan. In order to avoid the hard work of taking a car from Daocheng back to Chengdu, we chose this itinerary, which saved time and money, and also avoided altitude sickness, because we chose the plane carefully when going from the inland to high-altitude areas, but from high-altitude areas It is still possible to choose an airplane to go to low altitude areas. After arriving in Chengdu, how to reach Daocheng became our biggest problem. If you take the bus,
It's not easy to get a ticket, let alone,
The time is too fixed, the distance is long, and sitting in the car will hurt the buttocks. Taking Kangding to Daocheng as an example, it is likely to need to sit in the car for 11 hours. We are all close to half a hundred people, and I really can’t bear this hardship; join a tour group, and have to go back to Chengdu with the group car, which is too time-consuming and tiring; self-driving, because the level is too bad, it’s useless. Therefore, I considered finding a companion on the Internet to charter a car and go to Daocheng together according to the route I had planned in advance.
We originally found a companion who chartered a car on the Internet. Among them, the donkey friend in Chengdu told me that he had been a leading driver for more than ten years. He has rich experience and has no problem driving mountain roads. However, the final result is very regrettable. We stopped traveling with us. We changed from four people to three people. The cost was already more than what was originally said. Later, the driver found that he had altitude sickness when he arrived at Mount Siguniang, and suddenly found that the road to Daocheng was difficult. , I started to talk to me and let us share more fuel and maintenance costs. I was so depressed by his back-and-forth, and settled the cost with him from Chengdu to Mount Siguniang in a fit of anger (this cost is more expensive than traveling from Chengdu to Siguniang Mountain. The carpool fare at Girls Mountain is twice as expensive, but it is very wise to make a decision. If the travel companions will contradict their promises from the beginning, do not fulfill their promises, and care about every detail, then they will not be able to have fun together). Without a chartered car, we started to ask the innkeeper to help us carpool, so we went all the way to Daocheng and had a great time. Later we learned that the local people
Traveling in western Sichuan, most people rely on carpooling, because the shuttle bus is really inconvenient.
In order to fight for enough people, the driver will yell for a long time at the station or some fixed points, and the people who travel have to wait for a long time, which is a bit of a waste of time, but we have experienced the life of the locals, which is also a rare travel experience. . Having said so much, you may say, I drive by myself, I must drive by myself. if you
Or your partner has driving experience in mountainous areas, knows a thing or two about car repair, and will not suffer from altitude sickness, then self-driving in western Sichuan is of course the most perfect way to play, but do you know how difficult the roads in western Sichuan are? Our car is often stuck in the mud, driving on the edge of the cliff, at the foot of the mountain where the mudslide just happened, our car once drove on the s217 with the turbulent river on one side and the big rocks falling at any time on the other. Suddenly a sudden brake came to a stop, because a herd of sheep and a cow suddenly sprang out from the curve of the mountain road. Most of the time, the roads are narrow and it is impossible to miss a car at all. Come, take a look at these road sections, and then decide whether to drive in western Sichuan by yourself.
transportation fee
Beijing to Chengdu 650 yuan per person
Chongqing to Beijing 700 yuan per person
Daocheng direct flight to Chongqing 350 yuan per person
From Chengdu to Siguniang Mountain, you can book a homestay first, and then call the owner of the homestay. He will arrange for you to carpool from Chengdu to Siguniang Mountain. The cost is 150 yuan per person. The approximate cost of carpooling on other road sections is as follows:
Siguniang Mountain via Xiaojin to Danba 50 yuan per person
Danba to Bamei 30 yuan per person
Bamei to Xinduqiao 20 yuan per person
Bamei to Daofu 30 yuan per person
Daofu to Luhuo 30 yuan per person
Luhuo to Ganzi 50 yuan per person
Ganzi to Xinlong 50 yuan per person
Xinlong to Litang 60 yuan per person
Litang to Daocheng 50 yuan per person
Daocheng to Shangri-La Town 30 yuan per person
From Shangri-La Town to Aden, the chartered car is 10 yuan per person, and the bus is 1 yuan per person (but it takes a long time to wait, because most people come here by car or chartered car instead of taking the bus).

[About the hotel]
Because it was not the peak season in western Sichuan when we went this time, we did not book all the hotels in advance as we did in the past. We only pre-booked the Hanting in Chengdu on the first day and the holy land image in Danba on the fourth day. Others The lodging places are all temporarily found, and it turns out that it is also a feasible way to play, especially now that it is very convenient to use the app to book, it is really possible to book a hotel temporarily, but don’t try this method in western Sichuan in golden autumn and October, you Will sleep in the wilderness. Golden autumn and October are the most beautiful time in western Sichuan, and the price of the hotel will increase many times. If time permits, there will be fewer people and beautiful scenery during the week when the peak is shifted, and the price is affordable.
When we went, it was the off-season. Although the accommodation price was relatively cheap, the scenery was not as good. This also made me decide to travel to western Sichuan again.
Chengdu: Hanting's new store in Kuanzhai Alley.
The hotel is very close to Kuanzhai Alley. It takes less than 20 minutes to walk to the hotel. There is a residential building opposite the hotel. There is a hot pot restaurant downstairs. It is very lively, but it is really not noisy at night. The room is not big, but it is also neat and clean. The quality of Hanting has been relatively stable, but the variety of breakfast is less, which is the case for budget hotels.
Mount Siguniang: Aliben International Youth Hostel, because it is the off-season, the price is still very affordable, and it will be colder at night. I caught a cold here, but I'm functioning well enough that it didn't cause a major problem. Middle-aged and elderly people must take care of their bodies when they come here, because it is really uncomfortable to go from a low-altitude area to a high-altitude area all at once. I didn’t sleep all night because of a cold the next night.
Danba:
Holy Land Reflection Hotel is one of our favorite hotels. It is a hotel with strong Tibetan characteristics. The interior decoration is luxurious and stunning. The spacious and warm tea room helps tourists meet friends here. The photographic works that can be seen everywhere on the walls give you an excellent visual impact, tempting you to stay in western Sichuan. , lingering, the terrace with a view makes your heart quiet, where you will forget about work, concrete forests and endless reports.
Bamei: Bamei Villa, double standard room 188 yuan a night. This hotel is at the station in Bamei Town. When the weather is good, you can see the Yala Snow Mountain at the door. The room is not big, and it will feel cold at night. The facilities are average. Students who have high requirements for accommodation, this hotel is definitely Difficulty meeting your request. But if you still want to play hemp together during the trip, this is the perfect place. You see, there is also a chess and card room.
Ganzi: Minzu Hotel, 180 yuan per night for a double standard room. This hotel is newly built and the condition is really good. Our room can also see the river view outside, but it is a bit annoying. It is too close to the karaoke hall, and there is almost no way to go to bed early. It won't be quiet until after eleven o'clock in the evening.
Xinlong: Bluman Hotel, double standard room 288 yuan a night. It is relatively safe to book this hotel. It is opposite the county government, and the parking lot is huge. There is a fence gate outside, which is relatively safe. It's just that it was raining heavily on the day we arrived, and the bathroom leaked at night. I immediately felt that this hotel was not cost-effective.
Shangri-La Town: Riwa Youth Hostel, 138 yuan for a tatami twin room, this house is really the worst cost-effective house in this trip, the room is on the second floor, the stairs are very steep, there was no water upstairs on the day we were there, so we had to go downstairs Wash in the shared bathroom, no shower. The condition of the room is not good either. However, living in a youth hostel is also beneficial, that is, you can meet some companions and travel together.
I just took a look at the price tonight, because the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays are 1299 yuan a night. It is a nightmare to travel to Aden during the National Day holiday. The house is expensive, the food is expensive, and it should be crowded when visiting.
Yading Village: Dingjiedong Residential House. The altitude here is 3900 meters. People with strong altitude sickness are not recommended to live here. I also have strong altitude sickness, so during the time I lived here, my lips were always purple. I didn’t fall asleep all night. Fortunately, Having free oxygen can save me from fire and water.
Daocheng Shengdi Yingying Hotel: Double standard room, because we lived very comfortably in Danba, so we also found this brand of hotel when we arrived in Daocheng. It turns out that we are very smart. It is very comfortable here, with free breakfast, and in the room There is a humidifier, and it is not cold at night. There are many photos of western Sichuan on the corridor to view, and there is a large terrace above, where you can watch the sunrise and sunset. The location of the hotel seems to be off the main road, but it is very close to the birch forest. It is said that when the golden autumn comes, I live here. Just a few steps, you can walk to the depths of the yellow birch forest, walk under the blue sky and white clouds, and walk here. There is a distance from the White Tower, but Daocheng itself is not big, so walking around is a great exercise.
[About travel preparation]
Going to western Sichuan requires preparation in all aspects. first
It is physical preparation, because most areas in western Sichuan are high-altitude areas, so half a month in advance
Eat health products containing red spots every month. We went to the hospital to consult a doctor and prescribed Xinnaoxin Capsules for me; secondly, because we are going to climb mountains, we must prepare climbing equipment, such as hiking shoes, walking sticks, ponchos, shoe covers, and thermos cups (this is very useful, It was very cold at the seaside of Milk, and it was so comfortable to drink a cup of hot water at that time; again, it is best to prepare a solar-powered mobile phone battery, because the mobile phone power is used up very quickly in plateau areas, and some homestays are indeed in poor condition. There will also be power outages, and you know what it means if your phone is out of power. Finally, you must bring more clothes. It is really cold. If you go in August, you should also bring a thin down jacket, and in October, you should bring a thick jacket. Two-piece suit is the best The female compatriots must bring a few more gorgeous silk scarves, which are very good for taking pictures.
Well, without further ado, let us walk into this mysterious land in western Sichuan together.
The first day Beijing to Chengdu, stay in Hanting
On August 28, 2016, we took an Air China plane to Chengdu, Sichuan, and started a 13-day journey. On the day we arrived, we went to Kuanzhai Alley, but because of the rain, we didn’t have fun, we just hid from the rain. I ate some snacks, but they were not satisfying. Next time you come to Chengdu, you must eat a few meals.
.
Our hotel in Chengdu booked the Hanting Kuanzhai Alley New Store, which is very close to Kuanzhai Alley and less than 20 minutes walk. Downstairs in the hotel there is a hot pot restaurant where locals gather for dinner. We only stayed for one night and wanted to visit the Kuanzhai Alley. As a result, we didn’t have a good time in the alley. I caught a cold, which frightened us, because the destination of the next day was Mount Siguniang, which belongs to a high altitude area. Once I caught a cold, my life would be in danger. Quickly drink cold medicine and go to bed early.
The next day Chengdu to Mount Siguniang, stay at Aliben International Youth Hostel
In the early morning, according to the agreed time, a netizen from Chengdu came to pick us up in his borrowed off-road vehicle. Come on, Xiao Hei, let’s set off to explore the mysterious land in western Sichuan together.
us
when you go,
From Chengdu to Mount Siguniang
Yingwo Road, Provincial Highway 303, has not yet opened to traffic, so there are many bad roads, but the scenery is still beautiful. I had just escaped from the concrete forest of the metropolis, and I was very contented to see the scenery. I took a long breath of fresh air. At that time, I was as happy as a bird flying out of its cage.
After driving for more than five hours, we finally arrived at Aliben International Youth Hostel next to the entrance of Changpinggou. I like this hostel very much. I lie lazily on the sofa in the living room, looking up at the foggy mountains outside the window. I can think about anything, and I don’t want to think about anything. I think if you can see the snow-capped mountains, it should be more pleasant to drink tea, read books, and watch the mountains here.
Because I took the wrong road in Yingxiu Town and went to Shuangqiaogou, it was already three or four o’clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the hostel. Besides, my companions all had altitude sickness, so we just read in this living room. Drinking tea, chatting, very happy. Just had a simple light meal here in the evening.
Aliben Youth Hostel is not expensive in the off-season, and the boss is super nice. He helped us carry our luggage up, and later found out that we didn't have a driver and a car, so he helped us contact a carpool. Although the price of the food here is not bad, 30 yuan per person for a simple dinner is enough, and the taste is still good. There is breakfast in the room rate of this hostel, but the breakfast is relatively simple, only steamed buns, eggs, and pickles.
We have just entered the high-altitude area (about 3200 here in Aliben), and we are not used to it, so we go to bed early, recharge our batteries, and go to Changpinggou tomorrow. The driver said that he didn't want to play, he had severe altitude sickness, he needed to rest, and told us not to call him tomorrow morning.
On the third day, ride horses in Changpinggou and stay at Aliben International Youth Hostel
Mount Siguniang is located at the junction of Xiaojin County and Wenchuan County in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture.
It is revered as a holy mountain by local Tibetans.
It is said that four beautiful and kind girls fought bravely against ferocious monsters in order to protect their beloved giant pandas, and finally turned into four tall and beautiful peaks, namely Siguniang Mountain.
There are three ditches in Siguniang Mountain. Shuangqiao Ditch is low-level and easy to play. You can take a battery car to play all the time. It is said that the scenery is pleasant, but we lost time because we went the wrong way. We thought we would play in the afternoon of the same day. No Finished, I have some regrets, save it for the next time; Haizigou is an advanced stage, there is no walking plank road, walking or riding, the road is muddy, but the scenery is the most beautiful, for those who do not have any outdoor experience, it is better not to go there, I I heard from the child who led the horse for me that tourists often get lost in Haizigou. Girls go alone, and the risk factor is greater. Therefore, for the safety of my life, I choose not to go alone. If I have the opportunity to organize a group of more than one person For a large group, find a guide to explore the secrets together. Since I live in Changpinggou this time, of course I want to play Changpinggou. She is in the intermediate stage, with a total length of about 30 kilometers and a plank road of about 13 kilometers.
There are Lama Temple, Dead Tree Beach, Dragon Cave, Seabuckthorn Forest, Ganhaizi, Lianghekou, Muluzi, Liushuba and other scenic spots in the ditch. Walk along the walking plank road,
The wildness is full, but it is not wild, it can be seen everywhere
Grass, river,. exist
Walking on the plank road along the way, listening to the gurgling water, the chirping of birds, being blown by the breeze, drenched in the drizzle, and breathing the fresh air, it is very interesting.
We checked the strategy in advance and knew that there are only replenishment stations in Kushutan and Shangganhaizi where tourists can rest, buy simple dry food and drinking water. Things here will be more expensive, so we brought our own dry food and took pictures while walking for about 3 We arrived at Dry Tree Beach in about an hour, and then we ate the dry food we brought, negotiated the price of going to the wooden mule with the horse-leader, and rode on the horse. Look, this is my horse, isn't it beautiful?
The horses in Changpinggou are very well-behaved and don’t know how to kick people, but you still have to be careful when you get on the horse. The horse driver taught us some tricks for riding horses: “Lean forward when going uphill, and it’s best to stick to the back of the horse; Going downhill is the opposite, leaning back and pedaling hard.” The road is sometimes muddy and sometimes open, while the horseman is always skillfully pulling the rein and moving forward with difficulty. The father of the little girl who led the horse for me died young, and she also has a blind younger brother. Her mother used to do the work of leading the horse. Now that her mother is sick, she has to give up her studies to lead the horse, so that she can maintain the life of the family . Hearing her narration, I felt very uncomfortable. I really hope that her life will get better and better. Don't marry so early, and she should be able to go out of the mountains to see what she wants.
After the hard work of people and horses, we finally arrived at Muluzi, and then spent some more money to go to Haizi. Suddenly, our vision was broadened, and we felt that the hardships along the way were nothing.
The return journey is equally difficult, full of potholes, especially after four or five hours of horseback riding. Even if there are beautiful scenery along the way, we are not very interested. Therefore, when it is said that it is only half an hour away from the exit, we ask for it ourselves It's fine to walk back, no detour to ride the horse, of course the horse-leader must be happy, and she may serve another guest and earn a share of money. But after walking for more than half an hour, we couldn't reach the end along this endless plank road. We began to be afraid, because it was almost time for the last bus of the battery car, so we quickened our pace and were out of breath. I finally got on the bus two or three minutes before the last bus was about to leave, which ended a day of fun, excitement, and adventure. For the first time in my life, I rode a horse for four or five hours. There were only two horses and four people, two riders and two handlers.
On the fourth day, carpool to Danba and stay in the image of the Holy Land in the middle road
The day before, I had a big quarrel with the former driver and donkey friend over the cost issue. I got angry and got some cold. As a result, I caught a cold and didn’t fall asleep all night. I didn’t want to go to Danba, but I checked Ctrip’s We found that the order could not be canceled, so we had to ask the boss of Aliben to help us find a car and carpool to Danba. The driver, Master Zhou, is very skillful. I was dizzy looking at those mountain roads, but he could easily drive through them. He took us from Mount Siguniang to Xiaojin, which took about an hour and cost 20 yuan per person. He only drove us after the seats were full. After that, we carpooled like this. After arriving at Xiaojin Station, he helped us contact Master Yu, the driver to Danba, who was also very good. To say that we were really courageous, we put our luggage in Master Yu’s car and went shopping for dinner. Before we finished our meal, he called and said that the other car would leave first, and asked if we were together. Of course we Yes, so we hurried out of the restaurant. This is how we dealt with Tibetan drivers all the way in western Sichuan. Only one driver from Daocheng to Shangri-la town drove us to the barren mountains and mountains to ask for a price increase. The other drivers were very reliable. We didn't run into bad guys, or badly skilled drivers. Thanks to their superb driving skills and simple people, we can feel the warmth while seeing the beautiful scenery. Of course we are lucky, not all of us are lucky. When going out, we still need to be more cautious and more defensive. After all, we only have one life.
On the road from Xiaojin to Danba, people kept waving to get on the bus, and some people got off the bus halfway. We experienced the way of locals, and sometimes even felt that we were Tibetans. We traveled with the Tibetan compatriots in the same car. Talking and laughing, they learned about the action plan of the two of us, they were full of admiration for us, and gave us a lot of tips and suggestions, telling us what to do with the car to Xinduqiao, telling us how much the price is, and explaining to us Some customs and habits of the Tibetans, I felt their enthusiasm and simplicity in the car, and I really like them who are straightforward. When I was about to arrive in Danba, a little girl in the car who had returned from a migrant job suddenly said something in Tibetan to the driver, and then the driver stopped the car for him. I found her walking towards a temple. Not far ahead. We also got out of the car. I found it very strange. Just because she wanted to go to the temple, the whole car was waiting for her. Does anyone else have any objections? I asked the driver why, and later I found out that she was going to pray for the safety of her family. This temple is called Mordo Temple. Later, when I learned about the status of this temple in the hearts of the Tibetan people, we had already missed it, and it became my one. Sorry, I hope I have time to make it up in the future.
After nearly a day of trekking, we finally arrived at Danba County, and this is still not the place for us to stay. I chose the middle road Tibetan village instead of the Jiaju Tibetan village where most people go, for the sake of tranquility. But the road from the county seat to Zhonglu Zangzhai is not close. You need to take a winding mountain road and climb up the mountain all the way. Along the way, you can see the mysterious Mount Murdo, the 5,000-meter-high sacred mountain that no one has ever climbed to the top.
We finally arrived at the Tibetan village on the middle road, which is the Holy Land Image Culture Theme Inn where we live tonight.
Entering the courtyard is also ordinary. Entering the hall, it is a little dark. There is a gentle young man at the front desk. He checked us in and helped us carry our luggage up to the third floor. Later we found out that he is a photographer. Here, in the corridor of Daocheng Hotel All photos of Shan are from him.
When walking towards the third floor, we passed the tea room on the second floor, and I saw
Under the strong Tibetan decoration
magnificent. Guests in twos and threes drink tea, read books, chat here, and they get to know each other casually, which is really nice.
Originally, I only wanted to stay in Danba for one day, and left for Kangding after walking around the Tibetan village on the middle road. I was fascinated by the scenery of the Tibetan village on the middle road, because Jiaju here is quieter and more peaceful. Doshan is just around the corner. When we are not going out, we like to make a cup of tea on the terrace, and enjoy the tea while looking at the mountains and Tibetan villages.
Mount Murduo is a mysterious, handsome and dangerous sacred mountain. It has been worshiped by people throughout the ages, and it has been praised by legends. In Tibet, it is as famous as the Himalayas and Gangdise Mountains. It is one of the great sacred mountains. Especially its magic is worshiped devoutly by Chinese and foreign religious believers. Tibetan monks can go to Morduo Mountain Pilgrimage is a sense of consummation of merit and virtue.
Murdoch
Mountain
Located at the source of the Dadu River, at the confluence of the Dadu River and the Xiaojinchuan River, is the oldest Tibetan religion - Yongzhongben religion (Yongzhongben religion is basically that everyone is equal, tolerant and inclusive, so in Yongzhongben religion Canon rules do not allow harming anyone or the hearts of all living beings. All sects and sects of the Yongzhong religion have the right to freedom. They can express their opinions at will, and can criticize the propositions of other sects. Their democratic spirit and truth attitude to the best.) Shenshan, the center of Gyarong Tibetan culture, is 5105 meters above sea level. According to the records of "Mordo Divine Mountain Records", there are a total of 108 holy scenes and more than a thousand scenic spots on the mountain. Standing on the top of Mount Murduo, you can see the Golden Summit of Emei in the east, the Gangdisi Snow Mountain in Weizang in the west, and the 8 silver rivers in the territory, like 8 pure white hada, entangled in Murdoch. There are 56 beautiful mountains in the multi-sacred mountain, and the 56 magnificent peaks symbolize the unity and friendship of the 56 ethnic groups in the motherland. Murduo Mountain is located in the junction of Tibetan and Chinese, so she is a symbol and witness of the harmonious relationship between Tibetan and Chinese. It's just a pity that during the few days we were there, it was cloudy and foggy all day long, and we couldn't see the top of the mountain, but it is possible to see the golden mountain in sunshine in October.
Day 5 Danba Tibetan Village Day Tour
Originally, I only wanted to stay in Danba for one day, and left for Kangding after wandering around the Tibetan village on the middle road, but I was fascinated by the scenery of the Tibetan village on the middle road, so I stayed for two more days
.
During the two days in Danba, we chartered a car to go to Jiaju Tibetan Village (chartered car cost 300 yuan, I found out later that it was hacked, in fact, we went to the elementary school and waited for the bus to go to the county seat, and then backed up to Jiaju Tibetan Village at the county seat It only costs less than 100 yuan). The driver said to give him 300 yuan, so we don’t need to pay 50 yuan for each person. In fact, he didn’t take us to the Tibetan village at all, but just took pictures at the viewing platform. Later, we found out that we actually lived in the middle road and didn’t need it. Let’s look at Jiaju again, because there are towers in the middle road that Jiaju doesn’t have, and the middle road is quieter than Jiaju.
After returning from Jiaju Tibetan Village, we explored the Tibetan Village on the middle road by ourselves. The animals that can be seen everywhere, the white Tibetan houses, the rugged mountain road, the picturesque scenery of the Tibetan Village, the calf following its mother, and the firewood on its back. The old woman, the unique watchtower, and the children who are not in the camera who go to school every day on the mountain all make me feel the harmony and harmony between man and nature, and this is the beauty that is hard to see in the metropolis.
To be honest, for us outsiders, it is still very scary to wander around this big Tibetan village at dusk. As the sky gradually darkens, we have already run to the depths of the Tibetan village. It seems that any road is When we got to people’s homes, we walked around these Tibetan villages, thinking that we could walk back to the hotel without turning back, but later found that it was impossible, so we had to go back the same way, and finally walked back to the hotel before dark . All the beautiful scenery along the way makes people feel relaxed.
Day 6 Bamei and Xinduqiao by car
This morning, we were about to leave Danba. We started to take pictures on the terrace when we got up early in the morning. We kept taking pictures until we left here. Goodbye, Danba; Goodbye, Mt. Modore; I shall be happier and happier till the sun reaches the peak of Mount Mordor.
Look, we set off. Today we planned to take a car from Danba to Xinduqiao, where we lived in Xinduqiao, but we couldn’t find a driver who went directly to Xinduqiao, so we decided to go to the county seat first, and then go there to find a car . Fortunately, the driver to Danba County, which the hotel owner contacted for us, has already arranged everything for us. In fact, it is much cheaper to walk from the hotel to the Zangzhai School on Zhonglu and wait for the shuttle bus to the county seat, but we still want to be more comfortable without dragging our luggage on non-concrete ground.
Our itinerary today became Danba to Bamei, Bamei to Xinduqiao, and then back to Bamei from Xinduqiao. The driver who accompanied us to Xinduqiao in the morning took us back to Bamei from Xinduqiao . Because it is not the best season, it is difficult to see the blue sky, and the scenery is relatively poor, but it still makes those of us who have stayed in big cities for a long time feel like a paradise. Think about it, if the Yala Snow Mountain reveals its true face, there will be blue sky and white clouds. , how beautiful it would be here.
The most annoying thing in Xinduqiao is these high-voltage poles, which affect the overall view too much.
Bamei is now focusing on attracting investment and developing the tourism industry. I really don’t know if Bamei will be over-developed in the future. Will I still like it?
The road from Xinduqiao to Bamei has been under construction, so it is limited, we just caught up, and the car lined up, but no one danced and sang in the car like in La La Land, everyone stared at the car Check whether the car in front has started, and then follow closely. We arrived at Bamei when it was getting dark in the evening. After checking in at Bamei Villa, we ate directly at the restaurant of the villa. Look at this big bowl of mutton hot pot, two old women can eat enough.
On the seventh day, Bamei went to Ganzi in a hurry
In the early morning, just after dawn, the two of us started our journey of exploring Bamei. In fact, if the weather is fine and the sun is shining, you can see Yala Snow Mountain if you lean on the door frame of Bamei Mountain Villa and look southeast. It is a sacred mountain.
The top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and the Yala River originates here. On the mountainside of the Yala God Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters away, there are two lakes less than 300 meters apart. Formed a beautiful natural landscape. Because of this, it attracts many mountaineering enthusiasts to gather here every year, but its peak has never been climbed to the top. It is not easy to see its true face under the mountain, and we are not lucky to see the snow-capped Ya At the top of Lashen Mountain, we have to appreciate the residential houses with Tibetan ethnic characteristics, and climb up to see the panoramic view of Bamei.
Bamei Town is a town under the jurisdiction of Daofu County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, so Bamei's houses are also called
Daofu dwellings, Daofu dwellings are famous all over the world for their unique architectural style and unique architectural art. These dwellings use white walls, red (brown) wall flower windows, dripping eaves in the word "pin", and the first floor, the first floor or the second floor. A bottom, arranged in an orderly manner, mostly
The white roof, the white main wall, and the wooden structure are mostly dyed with brown paint, with red and blue patterns in between. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and green water, it turns into an indescribable pattern of building blocks. In the white roof and the spacious courtyard dam, girls in gorgeous Tibetan costumes or lamas in crimson clothes flutter among them, giving people a feeling of "paradise". I heard that each of these houses has caves inside, and there is no chance to go in and live there, so let's save it for the next time.
After we bid farewell to the Bamei Residence, we returned to Bamei Villa and started to make appointments with the drivers at the station next to the villa. As a result, one of the drivers got involved in a dispute over business. Because several drivers wanted us to go to Daofu in their cars, in order to settle the dispute, we had no choice but to choose the driver we chose at the beginning. This driver was very arrogant. To be honest, I was a little afraid of him, and I didn’t feel very good about him. . After getting on the car, I realized that the journey was still quite long. It took me nearly two hours to get there. A motion sick Tibetan woman got on the car. I was afraid that she would vomit in the car along the way. The driver was a little impatient, but still Very kind, driving very steadily, said that it can make people with motion sickness feel better, which somewhat changed my view of drivers. The scenery along the way is really beautiful.
After arriving in Daofu, the driver helped us connect the car to Luhuo, and we went to eat. By the way, we took a look at the streets of Daofu, and found that houses were being built everywhere. I wonder if after the large-scale construction, will this place still attract tourists like it is now?
When I arrived at Luhuo, I finally saw the blue sky and the sign indicating that we could go to Seda. I felt like we were in a dream, bumping all the way from the bustling metropolis to the Tibetan settlement. This place is so strange and novel, with Fresh air, simple people, listening to the jokes and fights of Tibetans on the street, it feels like I am one of them, and I am very close to them. Luhuo is an important traffic road. From here, you can go north to Ganzi, and you can go east to Sertar. Many people go to Sertar with piety, and we want to visit Ganzi and pass Xinlong from Ganzi Go to Daocheng Yading.
On the road from Luhuo to Ganzi, we saw the beautiful Kasa Lake,
It is the largest waterfowl habitat on North Sichuan Road and a famous local holy lake. According to legend, a long time ago, the location of Kasa Lake was a deep valley without lake water or streams. People living here had to go to the mountains to carry water, and it was very difficult to draft. What is even more unfortunate is that they have been hit by drought for several consecutive years. The crops are extensively planted and the harvest is poor. They cannot make ends meet, and there are also terrible phenomena of children dying when they are underage. An old man in the village saw that his compatriots in suffering were miserable, so he began to chant Buddha devoutly. On the night of the 108th day of kowtowing to Buddha, I had a strange dream. In the dream, a man in white clothes and riding a white horse always told him not to forget to let go of the frogs in the deep valley. The old man woke up and felt that the Lord Buddha had appeared. When it was dawn, he hurried to the deep valley to look for frogs, but there was no frog in the dry land. Just when he was disappointed and was about to leave, he found a huge rock in front of him that looked exactly like a frog. Look right, look up, look down, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a frog. He can't help but push it forward, it's weird! The huge stone was moved away, and clear water flowed out from under the stone. The old man was ecstatic, and immediately ran to worship the gods to thank the gods for their protection. This water surges up year after year to form Casa Lake. From then on, the Kasa people sowed seeds in spring and harvested in autumn, and the livestock flourished. The trickling streams also flowed into the lake from distant valleys. After that, there were legends about dragons, cows, horses, frogs, etc. left in the lake. and into the lake. Kasa Lake is revered by people as the mother lake. It is usually worshiped around the lake, and it is prayed for during spring plowing and autumn harvest. When the child is full moon, the most important thing is to carry the child on his back and walk around the lake sincerely. Until the sunny day comes,
Casa Lake will
Reflecting the mountains and white clouds, the lake, mountains and sky will be integrated into a crystal clear one. Therefore, it has attracted many photographers to stay around Casa Lake, just to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Casa Lake also attracts dozens of species of water birds to inhabit here.
Along the way, we can always see groups of animals grazing on the grassland, forming a beautiful picture.
When approaching Ganzi, I began to see dark clouds, only a little bit of bright blue color in the distance, how spectacular the mountains in the distance are.
Finally arrived in Ganzi, and temporarily found a hotel, Minzu Hotel, but found that the hotel had a power outage. Ganzi lacks energy and often has power outages. Many hotels have their own generators, but in order to save costs, sometimes they do not generate their own power. So friends who go to Ganzi pay attention to this problem. We checked in but didn't get in right away because there was no electricity and no lift so we went to find something to eat. When I went to a small shop, I ordered some food. I saw that the rice was served like this, a big plate. There were many beggars sitting outside the restaurant where we ate, not because someone came in to eat. When we sat and ate, we faced a Tibetan woman who came to beg for food with her child on her back. We couldn’t understand what she said, but her words We understood the gesture, so I took a spatula and put a lot of rice in the plastic bag she handed over, which made her bow all the time. I was very, very uncomfortable. Living in Beijing, I never thought that there are still people who can’t eat. I really hope that the next time I come here again, I won't encounter such a thing.
Day 8 Kowtow to Ganzi Monastery, pilgrimage to Lake Tsoka
When we got up in the morning, we took a taxi to Ganzi Temple. This Ganzi Temple is located on the hillside beside Ganzi County. The architectural style is a combination of Tibetan and Han. The temple belongs to the Gelug Sect and has a history of 339 years. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and rebuilt around 80 years ago. It is quite hard to walk up to the temple, and you can save some walking by taking a taxi. On the square of the temple, you can overlook the Ganzi County. If the weather is fine, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but we are not blessed to see it, which is very regrettable.
After overlooking the county town, we turned around and suddenly saw some young monks in the corner of the temple. They squatted there, eating instant noodles, and seemed to be arguing about something. These children came from poor families in Tibetan areas, because entering the temple can Studying Buddhist scriptures, the family also saves a child's rations. When I first heard about this, I always felt unbelievable, but it is indeed true.
After overlooking the county town, we entered the Ganzi Temple for a visit. As soon as we entered, we were attracted by the exquisite furnishings in the temple. The vivid Buddha statues, the carvings on the pillars, and the gorgeous colors on the vases made us fascinated and sighed.
After visiting the main hall of the temple, we were invited to chat and drink milk tea with the monks. We had a very happy morning, and then we walked down the stone steps and left Ganzi Temple. The road was muddy, the muddy road was far beyond our imagination, and the shoes were covered with dirty mud. Isn't it vigorously developing tourism? Why can't this kind of road be repaired a little bit?
After finally getting out of the mud, we found a small hot pot restaurant and ate a comfortable hot pot meal. Walking, we carpooled to Xinlong.
Look, this is our car to Xinlong, and Ah Jin is our driver. He is a very shy Kham man. He took us to Xinlong and helped us connect with the bus to Litang. The most important thing was to overcome all kinds of hardships and drive us to Cuoka Lake at an altitude of 4,000. We saw the paradise on earth. exposure
him and
His phone number, you can contact him before you go to Ganzi and Xinlong, and you will feel safe and stable in his car.
Before going to the west of Sichuan, I carefully studied the place of Xinlong. I was very fascinated by the Tsoka Lake in Xinlong. I finally had the opportunity to see it. Of course I would not let it go, so I talked with Ajin about our desire to charter a car. , but he didn’t know where the Tsoka Lake was. Later, he found out that the asking price was 300 yuan for his companion. I thought it was too expensive and wanted to bargain with him, but his attitude was very tough, and my companion strongly opposed it. I felt that it would cost 300 yuan to charter a car for such a place, and it would delay the itinerary. I told her that I must go. This place is a fairyland. You will definitely not regret it if you go there. If you pass by and don’t go, you will regret it all your life. Yes, my companion was so angry with me that he had no choice but to agree. In this way we started the journey of Ganzi Xinlong.
Xinlong is the "belly button" of Kangba on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. It is a colorful forest garden in the valley of the Yalong River in Kham District. Because it is in the center of the valley and surrounded by mountains, the northern line of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road takes Kangding-Daofu-Garze - Dege - Qamdo; the south line takes Kangding - Yajiang - Litang - Batang - Mangkang, always bypassing Xinlong.
It is said that in ancient times it was very difficult to communicate with the outside world and Xinlong. When local Tibetans met on the narrow cliff road, the horses of both sides could not stagger, or even turn around and back. The usual solution to this situation is: quickly assess the price of the horse, negotiate the compensation, and then push the bad horse off the cliff—whoever has the worst horse will be unlucky, and after receiving compensation from the other party, go back home the same way. It can be seen that the traffic in Xinlong is very inconvenient. I didn't have a deep understanding of it before I came. After I came, I could only say that I didn't dare to come until the road was repaired. Fear. The road from Ganzi to Xinlong is accompanied by the Yalong River. If you can see the snow-capped mountains again, the scenery is really nothing to say, but there are many dangers along the way. Rolling down the rocky cliff, even thinking about it now is still very scary.
We finally arrived at Xinlong County, but we were both dumbfounded. We had never seen such a county, with dilapidated houses, narrow paths and dirty public toilets. We couldn't help thinking to each other in terror: where do we live today? After consulting with Ajin, we learned that there is the best local hotel called Bruce Hotel opposite the county government. There is a fence outside and it is relatively safe, so we booked this hotel, and then urged Akin to take us to Cuoka Lake as soon as possible, because It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and I was afraid that the road would be difficult to walk at night.
We drove towards Lake Tsoka. Ajin's Chinese was not very good, but he could still understand some of what I said, and the communication went smoothly. From him, I know that this road has just been repaired, and there are still many roads in Xinlong County that will be repaired in the future. We are blessed to travel.
I never thought that the road to Tsoka Lake would be smooth so far, and then it would be all bad roads. I don’t know if you have been on such a road. There is a light rain in the sky, your car is stuck in the mud, and there are cliffs at the foot of the mountain. Of course, there will be a peaceful village. However, because it takes nearly an hour to drive from the county seat to the foot of the mountain where the 3,000-meter-altitude Tsoka Lake is located, I think people living in this village will have various inconveniences in their lives.
After more than an hour of hard trekking, we climbed from an altitude of 3,000 meters to the top of the mountain at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, and suddenly found that the road ahead was broken. It turned out that the road down the mountain was being repaired here. I think next time you come to play, you won't take such a steep road like us.
We had no choice but to get out of the car, and then walked in from this side, trembling all the way, afraid that we would fall off the cliff, walking, walking,
When the rain stopped, the sun came out and shone on the colorful prayer flags. We exclaimed: Look, rainbow, rainbow! Yes, we saw the rainbow, at the top of 4000 meters.
Along this asphalt road we go to the depths,
Colorful houses were displayed in front of us, and there was no one on the road. I suddenly felt that my arrival disturbed Hei Niu's life.
We suddenly discovered a big lake, which is Lake Tsoka. A long time ago, this place was extremely short of water, and many people who lived here had to spend
Tears bid farewell to their homeland, and left their hometown to settle down in other places, during which they were tortured. Seeing that the people here are living in a difficult situation, the God of Heaven sent two Hercules to carry water here to help alleviate the water shortage. When two Hercules came to the mountainside with water on their backs, one of them was so tired that he put down his leather bag and prepared to put the water here, and the other quickly said "Ma Ri" (meaning "no" in Tibetan). , The two continued to walk up the mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they found that the surrounding terrain was open and flat, with no obstacles in the front, back, left, and right sides, so they decided to put the water on a flat land near the top of the mountain. The freshwater lake is also named "Mari" for this reason. Since then, the "Mari" lake has nurtured all living beings in a ditch in Mari Township. Despite the vicissitudes of time, the lake water is still as clear and translucent as when the gods released the water, without any decrease. In 1358, Puba Dengzi, a descendant of Tibetan Buddhism, built a Kagyu temple by the lake and named it Cuoka Temple (Cuo is the lake, and Ka is the edge, meaning the lakeside temple). This lake is Lake Tsoka.
I stood by the lake and watched the clouds and mist in the distance slowly dissipate.
The lake is so clear, the colorful houses are reflected in the water, and the small fish swim around under the lake. I heard that the fish here gather by listening to the sound, but I dare not make a sound, for I am afraid of disturbing the people here. My partner strongly opposed my coming here at the beginning, but seeing such a beautiful lake view, I just sighed that it was a good time to come here. You are very wise. The 300 yuan charter fee should be used as an entrance fee. This is also a great experience in life. We experienced the feeling of walking on the muddy road on the edge of the cliff, experienced the beauty of the fairyland on earth, and deeply realized the difficulty of life for the people here.
It was getting dark gradually, and at an altitude of 4,000 meters, we had already started to suffer from altitude sickness. We didn't dare to stay for a long time and left Tsoka Lake, but we made up our minds that I would come again.
Early the next morning, we got on the bus bound for Litang, and when we passed the intersection to Cuoka Lake, my circle of friends was swiped by the night scene arranged in Hangzhou for the G20 meeting the night before. I saw a The staggering old man got out of our car and thought that there was no street light when passing this intersection last night. How I hope that one day the people here can also use the road and feel modern civilization.
On the ninth day, Xinlong, Litang, Daocheng, and Shangri-La towns ran all the way
Today's task is very heavy, we must rush from Xinlong to Daocheng, and even to Shangri-La Town, because we must ensure that we can spend two days in Yading Scenic Area. At 9:50 in the morning, A Jin notified us that we were ready to leave. It was another driver who went to Litang, and we had a total of seven people. Full of longing for Daocheng Yading, we hit the road. I finally saw white clouds and a little bit of blue sky. Although there are some bad roads on the way to Litang, you can always see the scenery of cattle and sheep under the wind and grass along the way. Crane, I am really satisfied, very satisfied.
All the way from Xinlong to Daocheng,
The clear plateau wind, the blue sky, the ever-changing white clouds, the bright and clear sea, the flocks of cattle and sheep, the rolling hills, and the green mountains and fields, all these seem to be designed for me, I really want to run here Arise, and recite that famous poem under the blue sky:
white crane,
Please lend me your wings;
don't fly far away,
Go to Litang and fly back.
When we arrived in Daocheng, we hadn’t decided where to live. The friend who happened to be in the same car said that we should live in Shangri-La Town, so that it would be convenient to go to Aden the next day. If we lived in Daocheng, we would have to get up early in the morning and go there. Way to have fun. In this way, we discussed with the driver whether it is possible to take us to Daocheng, negotiated the price, and then set off. Halfway to the place where there is no village in front and no shop in the back, the driver stopped suddenly, and after speaking a few words in Tibetan with a passing driver, he told us that he was not going to Daocheng anymore, let that driver go, and then let us Replenish the driver with some money, which pissed us off at the time. Considering that this plateau area is barren and wild, we have to pay extra money for local snakes. Therefore, traffic is the biggest problem when carpooling all the way to Daocheng Yading. It is more reliable for several people to charter a car from Chengdu together. Unsteadily, our car finally arrived at the town of Shangri-La. Here is a special explanation. The altitude of Daocheng is 3,700 meters, while Shangri-La Town is only more than 2,000 meters. Therefore, you should try to stay in Shangri-La so that you can sleep a little better. Shangri-La Town is not big, but it is very lively at night. Some hotels hold evening parties in their courtyards, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.
After enjoying the show, we found a restaurant to have something to eat. We went back to the booked youth hostel, but we were told that the water was cut off, and we could not take a shower, wash our face, or brush our teeth in the room. We were very annoyed. This Riva Youth Hostel is really It's so bad, we decided not to stay here tomorrow.
Day 10 Pearl seaside daze
The Aden Scenic Area can be played for two consecutive days, so I arranged to only play the Pearl Sea on the first day, then hang out nearby to adapt to the plateau, and then go to the Milk Sea the next day. In the morning, we took the tourist bus of the scenic spot and went up the mountain all the way from the bottom of the mountain, all the way in the fog. It's like a fairyland.
The bus took us to Zhaguanbeng, and we started to walk towards Pearl Sea, which is a lake at the foot of Xian Nairi, which is the product of melting snow mountains. If the sun comes out, we can see Xian Nairi’s landscape by the lake. Reflections, white snow-capped mountains, emerald green mountains, clear lakes, and blue sky constitute a beautiful picture, but the way we went up the mountain was foggy and drizzle. We all felt very unlucky, but there were How many people are that lucky one. After two hours of hard trekking, we finally arrived at the Pearl Sea, while the light rain was still pattering down. The water at the Pearl Sea is so clear, and the little animals are so cute. Our eyes started to follow the little animals from staring at the sky, the Pearl Sea, watching them eat the bread crumbs we dropped. Again, when visiting Yading, you must bring food and a thermos with some hot water. It is very cold at an altitude of 4,000 meters, or even close to 5,000 meters. It is really enjoyable to drink a sip of hot water!
After seeing enough small animals, eating enough, drinking hot water, we found that the rain had stopped, and many people started to go down the mountain. We felt that it was too late to climb up. Let’s see more, rest and go again. Just like this, I kept staring at Haizi in a daze, because there was no sun, so I couldn't see the appearance of the mountains in the distance. But breathing the fresh air here, smelling the fragrance of the soil, and watching the ever-changing colors of the pearly seawater, our mood is also clear.
I don’t know who yelled, look, look, we can see the mountain, we can see the reflection, we immediately looked up and saw that although there is still fog on the mountain, it has begun to reveal a little face after all, but there is no see snow.
The sun showed a little smile, and I was finally able to see Xian Nairi's appearance clearly. Under the clear sky, the pearly sea water looks like glowing dark emerald,
The majestic figure of Xian Nairi is imprinted on the sea water, which is calm, but it attracts people's voices, cheering, and then changing angles to take pictures of this rare beauty. There are four people of the same age from Shanghai. They brought various scarves and cloaks, and they kept appearing in front of our camera. I am content, although there is no blue sky, white clouds and snowy peaks, but I still see the reflection of Xian Nairi.
We have been in a daze by the Pearl Sea, knowing that the clouds are slowly piling up, the sun hides the smiling face again, the dark clouds are sweeping in, and when the rain inevitably comes again, we have no choice but to go down the mountain.
After a long day of tossing, we are really tired. The aunt is the aunt, and her physical fitness is already relatively poor, so I started to think about going back after watching the Pearl Sea, but think about it. If you come from Shangri-La town tomorrow, it will cost a Hours of time is really not worth it, so it’s better to live in Yading Village that night, so we decided to take a battery car to Yading Village to find a house. It was really a temporary house search, because it was the off-season, so we found a price of 180 yuan a night. between. This is a newly opened B&B called Dingjiedong B&B. The interior decoration is very good, and there are oxygen inhalation facilities. When I arrived, my lips were already purple. After inhaling oxygen for a while, I began to slowly regain my energy, After drinking some hot water and having dinner, I immediately felt refreshed.
After eating and drinking enough, we walked out of the B&B and wandered around Yading Village. We found that this place was already a construction site, and there were garbage debris everywhere. I was thinking, do we really love the beautiful scenery here? Because we like the beautiful scenery of pure nature, we will come to consume, and because our consumption prompts local residents to renovate their houses and construction to meet our needs, thus generating a lot of garbage, which will eventually pollute and destroy this land. What is the correct travel mode? I have been puzzled for a long time and have no answer so far.
On the eleventh day, six hours of horseback riding and walking back and forth are just to take a look at the five-color sea and the milk sea
The altitude of Yading Village has reached 4,000 meters. People who are sensitive to altitude sickness will experience many discomforts. This is how I stayed up all night. Still very excited today, we set off on the first bus bound for the scenic spot. In the car, you can see the dark clouds in the sky sweeping in, and the clear blue disappears in an instant.
There are two ways to go to the five-color sea and the milk sea. The first is to walk completely without stopping back and forth. It takes at least six hours if the physical strength is particularly good; the second method is to ride a horse, but there is no way to ride a horse for a part of the way , about two hours round trip must be on foot. We had a slight altitude sickness, and our physical strength was not that good. In the end, we chose to ride a horse, and there were only 30 horses a day, so there is a saying of "grabbing horses". Coming out so early in the morning is to go to the horse rental place to grab the horses. Fortunately, we grabbed it. But after riding for nearly two hours, he said that the road ahead was too dangerous, and riding a horse would easily startle the horse, and then get out of danger, so he had to dismount and walk on foot. There is still more than an hour's walk from Milky Sea. We had no choice but to come down and hike, this road is really difficult to walk.
Walking and walking, you can finally see the sea of milk. The beach surrounded by mountains is the sea of milk. It does not look like milk, but it is inlaid at the foot of the mountain like blue gems.
Because we still want to see the five-color sea, we continued to climb. At an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters, we finally saw the legendary "five-color sea".
When we came down and looked at the sea of milk, it seemed to have changed a little bit of color, as if there seemed to be a circle of milky white on the outside of the blue water, which seemed to be thick and about to overflow. It is still the best season to come here. It was not good when we went, and the sea of milk is not the most beautiful time. It is said that during the warm spring season, the sea water under Yang Maiyong’s feet is as white as milk. The sea of milk in October looks more like emeralds falling from the sky under the blue sky and white clouds.
Haizi is
soft
Meadows and leaf clumps, like green velvet, care for this jewel. Above the meadow is a hard rock wall, which looks extraordinarily cold.
In fact, I still want to stay here a lot, but the horseman wants to go back quickly so that he can bring another horseman over, so we have to obey. You can see that the small houses in the mountains are stables. The horse breeders live a life in a paradise here, but they are not comfortable. They should envy us for being able to travel in the mountains and rivers. They don’t have the opportunity to do business every day, because the scenic spot stipulates that 30 horses are sent into the mountain every morning and afternoon. The opportunity to enter the mountain needs to be rotated. On the days when they are not on the wheel, the horse breeders need to go up the mountain to collect herbs and earn little money. , is even more dangerous.
When I went down the mountain, I saw Luorong Farm. The grass was all yellow and it was quiet. If I came here in October, it might be overcrowded.
Finally fulfilled our wish, we saw the sea of five colors and the sea of milk. We completed all the travel tasks in Aden. The day when we return to Beijing is approaching, and it is getting closer, but we are very reluctant. Seeing the beautiful scenery after that hard work, the feeling of seeing the small mountains at a glance is so beautiful, the memory of walking step by step in loneliness is so deep, isn't life like this? No loss, no hard work, no gain!
Day 12 Rest in Daocheng, finally see the blue sky and white clouds
After a good night's sleep at the Shengshan Business Hotel, we headed to Daocheng for a rest. We still took the carpool and took a last look at the scenery along the way from Aden to Daocheng.
Because the image of the holy land in Danba was very good, we stayed in this brand of hotel when we returned to Daocheng. I like this style of hotel, warm and refined.
In October, the window will be full of golden eyes.
After taking a nap in such a comfortable place with oxygen inhalation equipment and humidifiers in the room, the fatigue of many days disappeared. We regained our strength and began to explore Daocheng, bathing in the sunshine and walking on the empty streets.
I finally saw the legendary "White Tower", which is extremely beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds.
I finally understand why Daocheng is said to be a paradise for photographers, and this casual photo is a masterpiece.
On the thirteenth day, fly to Chongqing and return to Beijing
After visiting Daocheng yesterday, I suddenly received a call from my unit requesting that I have to return to Beijing for a meeting the day after tomorrow afternoon. The plan to stay in Chongqing for one night was completely ruined, and the two people lost more than 1,000 yuan in air tickets because of the temporary change. . I took a car to the airport through the hotel, and there were two young girls from Hong Kong on board. I just flew from Hong Kong to Daocheng via Chengdu yesterday, but I had to fly away from Daocheng because of a cold and shortness of breath. Looking at their backs, I am very glad that the two of us have finally fulfilled our original wish after trekking all the way, and saw the beautiful scenery along the way in western Sichuan. This beauty is engraved in our memory, and we often think of it. Back to Sichuan West.
