Day 6 Tour Cambra National Forest Park
The halal breakfast at the quasi-five-star Hongrui Hotel in Linxia is also good, with a wide variety and a lot of people. Check out and leave at 8:30. Today we will visit Cambula and stay in Xining.
The navigation led us to drive 20 kilometers along Hebin Road to Linxia County, then turned right and entered S310. There are more than 10 kilometers of mountain roads here, which were crushed by earthwork trucks for road construction, and the road conditions were a bit poor.
After turning over a somewhat steep mountain, we got on the expressway. It's a bit strange to enter the expressway here. It's not a card, but an access control like the entrance of a parking lot. You can get on the expressway just by scanning the license plate. When you get on the expressway, you will find a 360-degree turning tunnel. It is said to be the number one roundabout tunnel in China. When you leave the tunnel, the road is straight and there are almost no cars. It is very easy to run.
Get off the expressway at around 11 o'clock, and the Likan Highway leading to the scenic spot is also in good condition. On the road, I passed the town of Kanbula. I didn't see any suitable restaurants, so I went directly to the scenic spot.
Kanbula is a scenic spot in the Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Tickets are not cheap. The set ticket costs 250, which are 50 tickets, 100 bus tickets, and 100 boat tickets. Ctrip bought a set ticket online for 229 yuan, which is a little expensive. After the ticket was checked, I got on the bus directly and followed a driver all the way to the end.
My feeling about Cambra is that the scenery is beautiful, but the scenic road is not good, and the winding mountain road is bumpy all the way. There is an electronic voice explanation on the car, and there are a total of 4 stops on the road.
The first stop is the dam. On the one hand, the water waves at the spill outlet of Lijiaxia Hydropower Station are spectacular, and on the other hand, the green water surface of Cambula Lake (Lijiaxia Reservoir) is as beautiful as a piece of jade. The calm surface of the lake contrasts with the waves at the spill outlet. Stayed here for about 15 minutes.
The second stop is Lingshan Shengshui Observation Deck. Get off the bus and walk around the plank road to have a bird's-eye view of Cambula Lake and the stone turtle statue by the lake. The cloud and mist surround it like a fairyland. It takes about half an hour here.
The third stop is the Lamaogang Observation Deck. Get off here to see a small temple. It is said that it has a great status in Tibetan Buddhism. Then walk along the plank road to the end and there is a pavilion. Looking at the stone wall of the Danxia landform on the opposite mountain wall, it is a bit foggy and difficult to see clearly, but the terraced fields formed by the lush vegetation on the hillside here are very beautiful, a bit like Lagana the day before yesterday. half an hour.
The fourth stop is to park at the forest path, put us down, and the car will wait for us at the Xiaoyaochi viewing platform at the foot of the mountain in front (it was a little rainy at this time, and most of the people in the car did not get off). The forest path is to walk through the virgin forest on the plank road , all the way down the stairs is very easy to walk.
The woods are full of green and pleasant scenery, the air is fresh and full of negative oxygen ions, and at the entrance you can see the Danxia landform that is not inferior to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi. About 30 minutes walk to the end is the viewing platform of Xiaoyaochi, with Danxia mountain peaks towering on both sides, which is very majestic and beautiful, it is a worthwhile trip! The whole journey here is about 45 minutes.
The original route was to take a boat to visit Cambula Lake near Xiaoyao Lake, but there was a landslide ahead, the driver returned the same way, drove for more than an hour, and took us to the North Shore Wharf to take a boat.
It takes about 1 hour to take a boat trip to Cambula Lake. The green lake water and the colorful Danxia on the shore, such a beautiful Danxia on the water, are rare in China.
After disembarking, the driver took us to the parking lot. We arrived at the scenic spot at 11:30 and left at 18:00. We used the hand-cooked cakes packed last night for lunch. We spent more than 6 hours in the scenic spot, except for the road in the scenic spot. In addition to being a little bit overwhelmed, in terms of scenery, the mountains, rivers and forests are all first-class in China, and the beauty in the deep mountains is ah! Well worth a visit.
Depart at 18:00, rush to Xining, the original road is high-speed, and the road conditions are good. However, there are too many cars near the big cities and it is not fast, so I arrived at the booked Xining Macrolink Sibo Senior Service Apartment at 19:30. It feels good to return to the big city from the mountains. The hotel is managed by the Accor Group, and the facilities are shared with the Sofitel hotel next door. The international brand is really good. The two-bedroom, one-living room is very satisfying for three people. The washing machine in the room was used by my wife for three consecutive days.
There are restaurants near the hotel. For dinner, I went to a Yunnan restaurant on the second floor of the nearby Wanda. I ordered grilled fish. It tasted good, a bit spicy, but I was very satisfied.
