opening
When I stood on the 4,860-meter Dagu Glacier and looked around, I already expected that this travel note of mine would be very, very long. At that time, I felt that every comfortable cloud, every sacred snow mountain, every yellow weed, every mirror lake, and every golden temple in this vast and magical land would bring me infinite joy. Inspiration, rushing to me like a big river, can easily jump onto the paper. But when I actually started writing, I found that sometimes facing the gift of nature and thinking about life is more effective than talking about it, and it is collection and silence. But I am not reconciled. I don’t want to wake up one day and suddenly find that the memories that I thought were still in front of me have become blurred or even forgotten. Only by linking each photo with words can we truly protect this memory, protect every road we have traveled, everyone we meet, everything we have experienced, and those moments that we cherish from the bottom of our hearts. The expectations, disappointments, and surprises that emerge are worth remembering and cherishing for a lifetime.
I made an appointment for this year's trip to West Sichuan in last year's Travel Notes to West Sichuan. Yes, there is "poison" in western Sichuan, and there is no solution to the "poison". So, I brought my camera and drove at a speed of 120 miles. Those confused, lost, uneasy, anxious, helpless, irritable, and powerless emotions were torn apart at once. What is waiting for me is unknown, and it is also what I have always yearned for. distance. Aba, here I come.
Meitu comes first
Every photo is not just as simple as pressing the shutter, it is the books I have read, the songs I have listened to, the movies I have watched, and it is the fusion of all my experiences and thoughts.
Right time, right place, right people
The most troublesome thing to travel is dating a partner, which not only requires approval of your itinerary, but also a common language. Fortunately, there are always two or three regular travel partners every time, who travel through spring, summer, autumn and winter together, and see all the great rivers and mountains together!
"Harmony" No. 1
The day before departure, Brother Chao put the approved leave slip in front of me. This biggest unstable factor was ruled out, and I let out a long sigh of relief. Of course, Brother Chao's exchange condition is that he is not allowed to yell at him when he goes out this time. I nodded like pounding garlic, okay, okay, as long as you don't drop your things or skin (Sichuan dialect, meaning not procrastinating), I promise not to yell at you. It is estimated that this time, he was vaccinated in advance. Brother Chao did not commit any other behaviors such as luggage, and he was only yelled at by me for being slow in the morning when he left Li County. It is considered so many years of travel experience. It's the most harmonious one, give me a thumbs up.
Regarding the introduction of "Harmony No. 2", my first draft was directly rejected by Sister Ma, so I can only omit 10,000 words here...
Harmony 3
Sister Cat seems to have been pressed for excitement since she followed me to Hulunbuir. We can't mention the three words "go out and play" at all, she will be excited for several days when we mention it. This time is no exception. One week before the departure, she had already thought about the first circle of friends for the trip: Sister Ting set off with the zoo (here I must explain the meaning of the zoo, because besides me, the other three people who traveled Ms. Cat, Sister Ma, and Sister Xiong respectively). This brain circuit is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. I always think, how did such a mature and steady brother Feng bring you, a Martian, back to Earth? When will you take us back to travel to Mars!
single number 1
For the introduction of "Second Master Xie", I have been thinking hard for three days, and I can't sum it up in 28 words: greasy but elegant, sullen but elegant, narcissistic but low-key, bold and unrestrained Without losing restraint.
Single 2
I've always thought it's inconceivable that the plastic flower relationship with Ms. Xiong, who dislikes each other and never leaves, can last for more than ten years. When we enjoy the sultry nightlife in the biggest reality show in Pattaya, you hide on the balcony of the hotel and eat durian; when we sway in the sound of music resounding from the bar "Passer" in Pingle Ancient Town, you play with your mobile phone in the inn... …Sometimes you are really a bit independent, but I just like your uniqueness, just as Mr. Lu Xun said, "It is enough to have a confidant in life, and the world should treat it with the same heart."
About the itinerary
Traveling at the wrong peak will increase the happiness index of the entire trip. Therefore, we still choose to start after the National Day holiday. However, due to the special geographical environment of Aba Prefecture, frequent occurrence of geological disasters, too many uncertain factors such as foundation subsidence, rockfall, landslides, road construction, traffic control, etc., it is impossible for us to quantify the daily itinerary.

DAY1: escape
People are always like this, they want to be stable, but they are not willing to be ordinary; they want to be accompanied, but they yearn for freedom; In the city, the lights are feasting and the traffic is busy, but I suppress my nature, I don’t like it, but I want to nod; I want to love, but I dare not open it; women are strict with themselves because of their figure; It's simple, it's really hard to find yourself.
It was agreed to gather at the gate of the unit at 3:30 and set off. I was still catching up materials in the office at 10 am, and was still speeding on the way to send my daughter back to school at 3:15 pm. At that time, I was a diligent and good policeman, and I was even more caring. Good mother, after 3:30, I will only be myself, even if I am full of shortcomings.
There is nothing special about today's itinerary. Aba is like this. If you want to see the beautiful scenery, you must experience bumps along the road.
When I arrived at Jixiang Zilian Hotel in Lixian County, it was already dark. The deluxe double room for 274 nights (including breakfast) is clean and warm, with air conditioning and heating, the bathroom has enough hot water, and the breakfast is quite rich. Thank you Jiajia for recommending it .
There is a "Fushan Old Soup" next to the hotel. It is the first yak soup pot on the plateau. After eating, the whole body is warm.
Li County
DAY2: Bipenggou, is it colorful? Or is it wrapped in silver?
Woke up early in the morning, cloudy, did not see the expected blue sky and white clouds, only a large area of morning fog surrounded this plateau town. There is not much disappointment in my heart. It is not a big deal whether the weather is good or bad. If it comes, it will be safe. All encounters have their beautiful side.
There is still half an hour's drive from Lixian County to Bipenggou Scenic Area, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist like fairy air.
Longwanghai is the first stop for sightseeing cars in the scenic spot. It is an emerald-like alpine lake. The lake is like a huge mirror embedded in the surrounding mountains. Thick clouds and mists cover the sky and permeate the mountainside. Because of the dim light, the colorful mountains do not appear lively and lively, but seem to be asleep. The reflection of the mountains on the mirror-like lake is very peaceful.
Clouds and mist swim lightly among the white mountains, constantly changing the shape of the mountain, and occasionally lingering on the tips of the hair. It playfully hides the top of the mountain, making you guess the pretty appearance of the mountain.
When we arrived at Haizi, the destination of the sightseeing bus, the blue sky was gradually exposed in a mass of scattered mist, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance poked out a little bit, shy in the sun, and after a while, the thick fog filled again. Before seeing the true face clearly, he sank into a new mist again.
Continue to take the battery car up, and the maple, maple, birch, pine and larch along the way are covered with snow from the previous day. This year's snow seems to have come earlier. The autumn colors have not faded, and the ice and snow have arrived. For fear of missing every plant and tree here.
It is no exaggeration to say that Panyang Lake is the most beautiful place in Bipenggou. The snow-capped mountains and forests are shrouded in milky white clouds, shadowy and shadowy, and the autumn scenery and snow in the middle of the mountains are magnificent.
panyang lake
The lake beach was covered with snow, and everyone happily had a snowball fight.
Take a check-in photo on the most popular little moon in Bipenggou.
I wanted to hold the white snow tightly in my hand, but found that it had been melted into water droplets by the temperature of my palm.
What a lonely tree, just like these two lonely figures.
Walk through the bright yellow coniferous forest, and then sit on the swing by the lake, quietly looking at the mountains, the water, and the forest, enjoying the sultry autumn scenery.
She is your scenery, you are her scenery, and you all become my scenery.
The fog was getting bigger and bigger, and the more we went up, the more white it was, so we gave up going to Yanziyan. To be honest, Bipenggou did not bring me too much surprise. After seeing too many good-looking ones, people's eyes will become more and more critical. But we cannot deny the beauty of Bipenggou, but its beauty is not shocking, but subtle, and I hope everyone can see the subtle beauty of this world.

5. Both Shanghaizi and Qingyang Lake have tourist service centers, but the consumption is more expensive, so you can bring your own self-heating food.
DAY3: Meet Miyaluo for the first time
After passing Gulgou, the gullies on both sides of the national road gradually took on color. Autumn spread unscrupulously in the air, the colors unscrupulously permeated the mountains, and the autumn wind unscrupulously brightened the colorful forests on one mountain after another.
The highlight of this trip was not Miyaluo. We didn't stop too much. Through the window glass, those green, red, yellow, white...healed all my thoughts about autumn.
Miyaluo Town seems to be the boundary line between autumn and winter. After passing the village, you will enter Partridge Mountain, and gradually enter the world of snow. You will zigzag along the Zagunao River between the valleys, and the peaks on both sides will be covered with snow. Sometimes tall and straight, sometimes abrupt.
As the first snow mountain of G317, it is far behind the popularity of G318 Erlang Mountain. Even if you mention it to others, many people's first sense will hear it as "Zheduo Mountain", which is the most low-key snow mountain.
A group of kids who have never seen the world, are you having a snowball fight? Still fighting?
Turning down Zhegu Mountain is Sanjiazhai, turn left to Maerkang, and turn right to Hongyuan. Yilan Restaurant in Zhaikou is a halal restaurant. Whether it is a variety of noodles or rice topped with rice, the portions are large, the taste is good, and the price is reasonable.
The "Joan" bird is the king of all birds in Tibetan culture, and it is also the auspicious divine bird that protects the Jiarong Tibetan people.
Encountered the first snow in 2020 at Yakexia Snow Mountain
When I came out of the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was snowing! Snowflakes are dancing in the sky, falling on my hair, on my cheeks... and also drifting into my heart.
A group of people were completely excited, praying to be bigger, bigger. As people wished, after passing through the town of Shujingsi, the snow suddenly fell densely and tightly, and the sky and the earth became chaotic in an instant, and the scenery outside the window gradually turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.
Yakexia Snow Mountain, when this snow mountain that I had never heard of appeared in front of us, we were very "lucky" to encounter a snowstorm. There is no fence on the mountain road, the vast white snow is under the wheels, and there are huge black mountains around. The rocks are covered with white snow, black and white blend, quiet and dangerous. In front of you, there is always a looming snow mountain watching you and waiting for you in the wind and snow. Such a sense of impact makes people yearn for and nervous.
Wet snow made the S302, which was already under maintenance, full of mud, and we moved forward slowly amidst the bumps. A group of yaks in the wind and snow blocked the way. We followed behind and couldn't move. We didn't dare to honk. We were afraid of being shocked and didn't dare to rush over for fear of being bumped. We were really at a loss for this group of walking renminbi. Fortunately, before entering the Yakexia Snow Mountain Tunnel, the group of "blockers" walked up the mountain, otherwise they don't know how long they would have to wait in the wind and snow.
After crossing the pass of Yakexia Snow Mountain, the altitude continued to drop, and the snow gradually fell. When I turned a corner, I suddenly saw the road construction vehicles and workers, and my heart felt a lot more at ease.
The altitude is getting lower and lower, the magnificence gradually turns into beauty, and the colorful forest gradually comes into view.
The colorful forests and valleys are all dyed, and the Naizigou is full of autumn
All the way along the Naizi River, although the Wanshan Mountains are not all red, the forests are all dyed. I pressed the shutter frequently to record this indescribable beauty.
From the plains to the ravines, from the mountains to the canyons, all are dotted with the colorful colors of autumn and release the feelings of autumn.
Yamai Lake, a free roadside scenic spot, melts the ice and snow on Yakexia Snow Mountain, and flows here along the canyon with a large amount of minerals, forming a pool of blue light. The colorful forest on the cliff is reflected in the water, transforming into another A colorful world.
The colorful forest is a natural secondary forest. The red ones are maple trees, the bright yellow ones are birch and oak trees, and the green ones are fir trees. The basic tone of red and yellow slowly burns out pink, orange, vermilion, purple, light yellow, beige, golden, orange... This should be an affectionate love song written by autumn for the coming winter!
It has to be said that Naizigou in late autumn, this bright pearl dotted on the northwestern plateau of Sichuan, is amazing when you approach it; when you look back, it is still a luxurious visual feast.
The eighty miles of colorful forests are the best interpretation of autumn. We were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and stopped frequently. In the evening, we arrived at Jiruo Mountain Villa, Jiazu Village, Heishuishashiduo Township.
The villa is next to S302, 800 meters away from the Dagu Glacier Scenic Area. The Tibetan boss "Ban" is hospitable and hospitable. .

1. At present, some road sections in Heishui County are under traffic control due to road construction, but it does not affect the normal passage of cars and buses. Starting from October 30th, the entrance of the Yakexia Snow Mountain Tunnel goes down 3 kilometers to the Yakexia Viewing Platform due to the traffic control on the paved asphalt road surface, before 9:00 am, 1-3:00 noon, and after 7:00 pm.
2. Naizigou, in fact, there is no clear scenic spot, the scenery is on the road, and there are many viewing platforms along the way. The best season to see the colorful forest should be from late October to early November. Of course, it also depends on the climate of the year. It may be a few days earlier or a few days later.
3. Be sure to prepare some small one-yuan bills. After all, people have three urgencies. In many places, the network signal is not good, and a few Tibetan grandmas do not know how to use electronic payments. In order to avoid polluting the environment, it is better to go to the toilet in a civilized manner.
4. Please book accommodation in advance during the Cailin period.
DAY4: Dagu Glacier, the nearest remote
Have you ever thought that the "nearest distance" is by your side?
Have you ever been to the loneliest cafe in the world?
Please feel the temperature here with a cup of coffee in this place close to the sky with your loved one, and remember the romance at this moment.
Entering the Dagu Glacier, the first stop of the sightseeing bus is the Golden Monkey Sea. The clear lake water and the blue sky complement each other, and the mountain scenery is embraced in the arms, which is too beautiful to behold.
I met a lot of Tibetan monkeys in the Golden Monkey Sea, probably because they were fed a lot by tourists, and they are not afraid of people. The female monkeys walked with their babies, and grinned fiercely at the tourists. I really hope that I don't become the second monkey group in Mount Emei, spoiled by tourists and domineering.
Zenacuo is also called "Free Life Lake". On a windless day, the blue sky, white clouds, snow peaks, mountains, and Tibetan villages are all clearly reflected in the calm lake. If this scene makes you happy, it is enough.
Is it easy for me to take a picture for you?
In Tibetan, "Da" means horse, and "Gu" means far-reaching, and Dagu Lake, perhaps just like the time written by the writer Alai, "There is no sadness, no desolation, only endless thoughts spreading and growing ".
Look, the snow-stained woods and reflections are very similar to the blank space in Chinese landscape paintings. Time is here, whether it is still, or flowing, and quiet, what a gentle force it is.
Sitting on the snow-covered plank road, when the first ray of warmth from the sun shines through the cracks in the clouds, the collision of cold ice and warmth deeply moved my heart.
Take the cableway with the highest altitude in the world at Lingyun Cableway Station, and travel thousands of meters above the sky. The red cable car comes slowly against the background of snow-capped mountains. It is difficult to see any vegetation as far as it can reach, and even the heartbeat can be heard clearly.
Suddenly, I saw blue sheep having fun in the snow. This may be their paradise, without killing or natural enemies.
The winding forest plank road looks beautiful in the snow. If you want to climb to the top of the mountain, you have to ask yourself whether your little heart agrees.
Across a ridge, the unknown Haizi lay quietly in the glacier, as bright as emerald.
15 minutes later, the cable car took us to a height of 4,860 meters above sea level. The wind was cold and merciless, but the beauty was suffocating. The snow was as soft as cotton candy. Under the agitation of the wind, the icicles on the eaves turned into shining diamonds against the sun.
Standing on the top of the mountain, all the scenery has restored its proper color, pure white ice and snow, clear blue sky, and endless snow-capped mountains, stretching from ancient times to the future.
This is the closest moment in my life to the snow-capped mountains. The clear chill has washed away the distracting thoughts in my body, all my troubles and desires have disappeared at this moment, and my whole person is clear and clear.
Watching the changing clouds, seeing the gloomy sightseeing, letting the vultures soar, and shouting with the strong wind, all these are within reach.
On the way down the mountain, I passed the Luogesi Mountain. Every mountain has a beautiful legend. The spirit of those worshipers who have eternal belief in the snow mountain is really hard to express without being there.
It is really much faster to go down the mountain. It is 35 kilometers from the cableway station to the entrance of the scenic spot, which is only an hour's drive. Everyone takes this opportunity to rest and recuperate.
I don’t know if the second brother Xie was stimulated by any enchanting female tourist, but I have to say that sand sculptures are really contagious. After his unremitting efforts, the style of painting collectively deviates.
Passing through Naizigou again in this colorful season, perhaps because of the sunshine, the mountain forest was light yellow yesterday, but today it turns golden. The enthusiasm of the mountain surrounds you, and your heart is warmed.
Yakexia Snow Mountain is no longer as ferocious as it was that day. At the end of the road, the mountain depression is like a prelude, and the front and back scenery connects the world, magnificent, vast and far-reaching.
I rolled down the car window and felt the howling of the wind, the wind passed by, and Ronda was flying all over the sky. Listen, there seems to be a deep and distant voice telling, this voice may come from the flying prayer flags; maybe from somewhere in the dense forest; maybe from the snow-covered mountain top; no, it must be the fusion of the three!
After driving past S302, which brought us countless beautiful scenery, we turned to G248 and entered the grassland wetland. When it comes to Hongyuan, you may only think of her sea of flowers in midsummer, but the four seasons are different and each has its own beauty. The beautiful flowers and the full moon have their lingering sentimentality, and the snowy sky has its indisputable and flawless. Are you also like me, traveling against the seasons, experiencing the vastness in the boundless wilderness?
After passing Ermotang, we will start to cross Chazhen Liangzi, which is 4345 meters above sea level. Because there are two sources of water on both sides of the Qiuyuan, one into the Yellow River and the other into the Yangtze River, Chazhen Liangzi is also regarded as the watershed between the two major divisions of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. So far, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are divided here, the plateau and the canyon are divided here, the forest and the meadow are divided here, and the northern birds and the southern animals are separated here...
In the evening, the setting sun sheds light that is no longer warm. The golden grassland is set against the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and it complements the prayer flags under the strong wind. We are no longer busy on the road, slow down the speed, and slowly watch the bright light in the sky Little by little, the moon rises little by little, enjoying this rare silence.
Every year, nothing can be shaken. On this day, we will be together. This year is no exception, but this year is also an exception. He tried every means to secretly order a cake in Hongyuan County in advance, in order to give Sister Ma a different kind of travel birthday. In the lively Sichuan restaurant, candles were lit, a wish was made, the cake was cut, and the drink was in the air. I also sincerely wish you to run in your love every year.

DAY5: Where is the most beautiful scenery in Hongyuan, on the road
The plateau was extremely dry in late autumn, and I was tossing and turning in a state of nasal cavity and throat discomfort. In addition, I drank alcohol and woke up all night, but my spirit was still good.
Perhaps because it snowed last night, it was almost 10 o'clock, and there were no people on the streets of Hongyuan, which seemed deserted. I originally wanted to go to the first bend of the Yellow River in Zoige, but I was so drunk last night that I forgot to book a ticket, so I went straight to Jiuzhaigou. In fact, only in the process of self-driving in western Sichuan can you deeply understand the meaning of "the best scenery is on the road".
Leaving Hongyuan County, the sky was cloudy, the wind was strong, and the clouds and mists covering the distant mountains flowed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bright and dark space created by the large cloud layer carves the sky, the earth, and the mountains and rivers into distinct layers.
But the plateau never disappoints. Its greatest charm is that it is impossible to predict what will be seen in the next moment. In a blink of an eye, the clouds were torn open by the blue sky, and the sun shone down. The straight and wide roads were painted golden on both sides.
There are towering mountains and vast grasslands along the way, and viewing platforms can be seen everywhere. When you see the scenery you like, you stop, stand for a while, and take a look. The mountain roads in western Sichuan are long and graceful, the scenery is pleasant, and the mood is even more beautiful.
A winding wooden plank road stretches all the way to the depths of the grassland, and the rolling peaks at the end of the road are like the waves of the sea. At this moment, you only feel the insignificance of yourself and the vastness of the world, lamenting that what we can see is but a drop in the ocean, and the seemingly long life is just a fleeting moment.
It is said that the grassland should be the place every girl yearns for. The prayer flags and the breeze ruffle their hair, and the presumptuous girls laugh in the wind. But the wind on the top of the mountain was not gentle at all. The noisy wind blew past the colorful prayer flags, messed up my hair, and hurt my cheeks. It popped out with a "boom": Fuck, it's so fucking cold.
It seems that only standing on such a land is qualified to talk about freedom and loneliness.
Walking to the depths of the grassland, outside the car window there are gentle and angular mountains, colored blue and yellow, and dots of black are scattered on the ups and downs of the hillside. It is the cows grazing slowly with their heads down. The distance between the mountain and the cloud is so close, and the shadow of the cloud slowly whirls across the curve of the mountain, so intimate, which makes people envious.
The best weather is sunny with enchanting clouds.
The car turned with the road and drove towards the vast mountains.
A few eagles soar freely under the blue sky, sometimes flying over the top of the snow peak, sometimes blending into the depths of the clouds, and sometimes hiding in the grassland, becoming the most vivid life in this vast world.
Passing by an unknown temple, the white pagoda, the prayer wheel, the exquisite wood carvings under the golden roof, and the array of prayer flags all over the mountain on the opposite side of the temple. Perhaps for those devout believers, only faith can calm the mind, and those who meet or not meet will be liberated in this cycle of life.
Driving on S301, we are about to leave Hongyuan. Although we have not seen flowers and green grass, our eyes are full of golden color, but we are satisfied. The prairie in late autumn and early winter has a layer of baptism of years and more time. The camera cannot fully record such beautiful scenery. The most beautiful things are all in my eyes and in my heart.
The most indispensable thing in the world is roads. There are many roads in China, each with its own scenery, and S301 is one of them. This road is not only narrow, with many bends, sharp bends, and steep slopes, but also blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, cattle and sheep...
Jiuzhaigou Huajianji Inn is located in the center of Zhangzha Town, hidden in a large area of B&B inns, quiet in the midst of the noise, the 200-night double room is spacious, bright, clean and hygienic. It is about 5 kilometers away from the gate of the scenic spot, and the inn can provide pick-up service.
DAY6: Jiuzhai after the earthquake, never left, wait for my return
After all, this should be the fifth time in my life that I have been to Jiuzhaigou. This place is beautiful all year round. In spring, there are mountain flowers; in summer, there are green water; in autumn, there are colorful forests; in winter, there are white snow. Jiuzhaigou, which experienced the "8.8" earthquake, was rebuilt after the disaster and returned from Nirvana.
Late October is the most beautiful time in Jiuzhaigou. There are many photographers and tour groups gathered together. We scheduled to enter the park at 8:30, and the long queue at the entrance of the scenic spot almost didn't scare us to death. When there were too many people, it became confusing, and I didn't see the distinction between the buses. When an empty bus came, the crowd swarmed up. We were wrapped up by the crowd and boarded one. As a result, we all got off the bus when we arrived at Shuzhengzhai. Walk 800 meters to the station ahead and get on the bus. The tourists pulled up by the car could not clear the narrow plank road at all, and squirmed very slowly and quickly, which also laid the groundwork for missing the most beautiful appearance of Jinghai later.
Standing on the highway plank road overlooking the sea of trees at the bottom of the valley, it is the epitome of the whole Jiuzhaigou. The long string of Haizi lined up one by one, like azure pearls scattered among the mountains, crystal clear and round, flexible and graceful.
Shuzheng Waterfall is the representative of cascading waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou. The upper reaches of the lake flow along the shoals and pass through the trees, forming wide or narrow waterfalls. spectacle.
The white water mist and the dark brown rocks form a strong contrast, embellishing the mountains.
Tiger Sea and Rhinoceros Sea are two adjacent lakes. Every time I come back to organize photos, I can’t tell which is Tiger Sea and which is Rhinoceros Sea. In fact, there is no need to stick to the name. correct.
If you haven't been to Wuhuahai, you will never know how beautiful Jiuzhai is! The pool water containing calcium carbonate and the aquatic communities containing different chlorophylls, under the action of sunlight, transform into colorful colors, in lumps and patches, including azure blue, dark green, and emerald yellow. The forest on the bank is colorful in the red, orange, yellow and green reflecting pool.
You see, all plants are fueled by life, bursting into brilliant light.
You never know how many people will be captured.
The hillsides are covered with frost, and the branches are covered with red. Is it because the autumn is intoxicating? Or does the autumn wind have no intention of returning? Anyway, those patches of colorful forests have already blurred your eyes and intoxicated my heart.
Pearl Beach Falls
It's hard to find a no-man's land, so I can't avoid it, "come here for a visit" and come to one.
The autumn colors captured here are just the water-colored and poetic watercolor paintings written by the artist, describing the charm of autumn, the heat of autumn, the romance of autumn, and the affection of autumn...
Pearl Beach Falls
From Wuhuahai, along the plank road and down the gurgling stream, you will soon come to a relatively wide calcified beach. The clear water rushes down, splashing water droplets. Under the sunlight, it is crystal clear. Like rolling crystal pearls all over the slope. At this time, the narrow plank road at Pearl Beach was already full of people. It is no exaggeration to say that even half of my foot could not be put down, and no matter how beautiful the scenery around me was, I had no desire to appreciate it. Suddenly, I really miss the winter trip to Jiuzhaigou that year. I still clearly remember that the number of passengers on that day was less than 200 people. Such a scene is really unimaginable today.
Well, Pearl Beach can't accommodate me, so let's go down to see the majestic Pearl Beach Waterfall. The falling water is divided into several strands by the light yellow calcified rock mass, or the silver curtain is flying, or the white waves are rolling, or like beads like threads, or rushing and rushing, which is very spectacular.
Does it look familiar to you? Yes, this is the filming location of Tang Seng and his apprentice carrying the burden and leading the horse at the end of the 86 version of Journey to the West.
Passing by the "8.8" stone marked in red after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake, it rolled down from the top of the mountain several hundred meters during the earthquake. Its existence also confirms the huge impact of the earthquake on this world-class scenic spot.
If there is only one meeting, then the scenery of this scenic spot will inevitably have a lot to do with luck, and Jinghai is like this. When we passed Jinghai in the sightseeing car in the early morning, Haizi was still awake, and he was as flat as a mirror, which surprised everyone. By the time we returned to Jinghai from Wuhuahai, the breeze had already stirred up ripples in Haizi, making the reflection disappear. Although it is inevitable that there will be some regrets if you miss it, everyone did not complain, it is just that they did not meet at the right time and the right place. During the journey, a heart that is at ease with the situation is the most precious. Put some photos of Jinghai that I took many years ago, right as Wangmei to quench your thirst.
The clear snow water comes from afar, flows over the dead roots of old trees, and flows into the quiet sea of mirrors, then slides out from the bushes and plunges down the fault, forming the magnificent Nuorilang Waterfall. On the sky, the sun shines through, and the colors of the rainbow are reflected in the flying flowers and jade.
On the other side of the road, the viewing platform where you can take pictures of the Jinghai, shrubs, and Nuorilang Waterfall can no longer go up due to the earthquake, but this new waterfall after the disaster is still the same.
There is really no sense of time in the scenic area. It is almost past lunch time when we arrive at the Nuorilang Visitor Center. Just find a place to sit down and eat a little.
Changhai is the lake with the highest altitude and the widest surface in Jiuzhaigou.
Leaving Changhai and going down the winding plank road all the way, slowly, through the branches of tall pine trees, the colorful pool appeared in front of our eyes bit by bit.
Wucai Pond is the smallest lake in Jiuzhaigou, but the water is the most colorful, thickest and brightest, like a gorgeous sapphire inlaid in the deep mountains and dense forests.
We just arrived in the afternoon, and the sun is the best catalyst for the colorful pool. The pure, suffocating azure blue becomes extremely transparent in the sun, which is amazing.
Reed Sea is actually one of my favorite lakes. This season looks like gold inlaid with jade, like a winding jade belt. Against each other, the yellow is more golden, and the green is more emerald green. It's a pity that the little partner who was traveling with him had a relapsed leg injury, so he could only see his face in the car.
In the evening, instead of watching the heart-stirring "Eternal Love in Jiuzhaigou", I stayed in the inn for another farewell match, which is a small summary of the journey.
Dry goods sharing:
4. The sightseeing bus operates in the bus mode. Most scenic spots have platforms. Shuzhenggou recommends sitting on the left side of Keguanhaizi; Zechawagou also sits on the left, and Rizegou sits on the right. a paragraph. Because the scenic spot is currently implementing diversion tours, affected by the scheduling of the sightseeing car you take, you may be placed in any of the three ditches. We were first placed in Shuzheng Ditch for sightseeing, so we missed the most beautiful morning in Jinghai. moment.
5. The Reed Sea can be regarded as a very elite scenic spot, but there is no stop. If you want to see the Reed Sea, you have to get off at the Shuzheng Qunhai stop, walk 2.3 kilometers, and then get on the bus at the last stop, Bonjing Beach.
6. Due to the earthquake, only the main roads are left open in the scenic area, and many branch lines are closed, which makes it less fun to explore.
7. If you are not a professional photographer, there is no need to bring a tripod. Why, because there are too many people in the scenic spot, let’s not talk about whether the vibration of people coming and going on the plank road will affect the imaging. "It would be good to grab a satisfactory seat in the middle and stand still. In fact, all the slow doors of my water are hand-held. Although it is a little bit muddy, I feel pretty good about myself.
8. Nuorilang Visitor Center is the only place where you can eat in the scenic area, and it is also the only smoking area for men. The set meal of 68/128 yuan is really unnecessary. Isn’t it delicious with self-heating rice and self-heating small hot pot? Although a little difficult to carry.
DAY7: Return, go home
The last day is destined to be on the road. For a distance of more than 500 kilometers, the vehicles have been passing through the canyon, with the turbulent Minjiang River on one side and steep mountains on the other. Pass through Songpan, Maoxian and Wenchuan along the way, mostly Tibetan and Qiang villages and original natural scenery.
The ancient city of Songpan is known as the "Ancient Plateau City" and the "Gateway of Western Sichuan". I don’t know much about the history and culture of Songpan. I’m just a passer-by, not only me, but Ding Yuhui, the Pingqiang general more than 600 years ago, and Princess Wencheng and Songtsan Gampo more than 1,300 years ago.
The Chengdu-Lanzhou high-speed railway is under construction. By then, it will only take 2 hours from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou, and 4 hours from Chengdu to Lanzhou.
When I entered Mao County, I found a restaurant on the side of the road to eat and rest. The alpine plums sold at the door were sweet and crisp. The boss made Qiuxi silver carp, which was spicy and delicious. I ate two bowls of rice with fish soup.
Passing by Wenchuan, some things can be forgotten or awakened, that is memory. Seeing this small city reborn from the nirvana, what you can feel is more vitality and hope.
The trauma left by the great earthquake twelve years ago is still shocking.
Finally drove onto the Chengle Expressway, getting closer and closer to home. So far, the small ring road in Northwest Sichuan has come to a perfect conclusion. I don’t know what everyone thinks, anyway, I am tired and happy. I think the Maoxian’s Gaoshan Li and Songfan’s beef in the trunk must also be very happy.
PS: G213 travels through the Minjiang River Valley, an earthquake fault zone, vertical and horizontal ravines, undulating mountains, narrow roads and many bends along the way, continuous interval speed measurement, speed limit 70, town speed limit 40, electronic monitoring of line pressure, cautious driving, safe First.
The time with you is always so dazzling
There are too many people coming and going in your life. You don’t know which person will disappear in your life at the next time point, and you may never find it again; you don’t know who will accompany you to the end , to experience the joys and sorrows, pains and joys of life with you. Therefore, I regard everyone who accompanies me as a gift of life.
Traveling alone is cool; traveling with two is sweet; traveling with a group is very exciting. Some people are crazy, some are making trouble, some are laughing with you, no matter what you do, you find it very interesting. Maybe everyone thinks Aba is not much fun, but because of you, I have met the most beautiful Aba.

West Sichuan is poisonous, whether it is a small plateau town with heavy snowfall, or a green grassland with Gesang flowers blooming, or a mountain, a Buddha, a temple, a tree, a snowflake, or a lake... will be deeply engraved into the In a person's bones.
