Introduction: Wang Anshi wrote in "You Baochan Mountain": "The world's magnificence, magnificence, and extraordinary views often lie in danger and distance, but people's places are rare, so those who have ambitions can't reach them. If you have ambitions, don't follow along. Stop it, but those who lack strength will not be able to reach it. If you have ambition and strength, but don’t let it go, you will not be able to reach it even if it is dark and bewildered and there is nothing to support it.”
A spectacle on the dividing line. Wang believes that "the view of the magnificent, the magnificent, the strange and the extraordinary often lies in the danger and the distance", which is true. China's famous mountains and rivers, world heritage, 5A scenic spots, and diverse ethnic groups are highly concentrated on the dividing line of the three major terrain steps. The first step, with an altitude of 4,000 meters or more, is dominated by plateaus——Boundary: Kunlun Mountains-Qilian Mountains—Hengduan Mountains——The second step, with an altitude of 1,000 to 2,000 meters, is dominated by plateaus and basins——Boundary: Daxing’an Mountains—— Taihang Mountain - Wushan Mountain - Xuefeng Mountain - the third step, below 500 meters, mainly plains and hills. Taking the Wuling mountainous area located on the dividing line between the second and third steps as an example, Wulong in Chongqing, Shennongjia, Enshi, and Tangya Tusi ruins in Xianfeng, Zhangjiajie in Hunan, Yongshun Laosicheng ruins, and Furong Town in Hunan are concentrated in high density. Red Stone Forest, Fenghuang Ancient City, Guizhou Fanjing Mountain and other important cultural and natural wonders, including 6 world heritage sites, 5 5A scenic spots, and 3 world geological parks. In Wang's view, to get involved in the "magnificent, majestic, strange and extraordinary view", three conditions must be met: "will", "strength" and "things". "Zhi" is spiritual and volitional, while "force" and "thing" are material, physical energy and tools. Today is the right time, so I have a trip to Wuling Mountain.
Wuling Mountain Ethnic Corridor. The Wuling Ethnic Corridor is a geographical and cultural channel extending from southwest to northeast along five river systems including the Wuling Mountains and the Yuanshui River. Its scope is roughly equivalent to the Wuling County in history and the Wuling area today. Mr. Pan Guangdan believes that the Tujia people have a direct ethnic relationship with the ancient Ba people. They are located in the boundary zone from the second step to the third step in my country. It is the dividing line between the Chengdu Plain and the Jianghan Plain. The ancient Ba people are partially integrated into the Han nationality in the Chengdu Plain. , the descendants of the ancient Ba people stranded in the Wuling Mountains have developed relatively independently to this day, forming an ethnic group dominated by the Tujia. In the Wuling mountainous area, the Miao-Yao ethnic group that migrated to the south and the Zhuang-Dong ethnic group that moved to the west also merged, mainly in the Miaoling mountainous area of Guizhou.
After a year, we continued to travel in the Wuling Mountains, planning to return to Leshan from Chongqing and Hunan around Guizhou.
1. Yongshun Furong Town.
Start the self-driving tour from Leshan on August 5, take the Longhan Expressway, enter Chongqing from Zigong and Luzhou, then transfer to the Baomao Expressway, enter Hubei, take the Enqian Expressway and Longji Expressway, and arrive at Longshan County, Hunan Province with one foot of the accelerator. More than 740 kilometers.
On August 6, I drove from Longshan in western Hunan to Furong Town, Yongshun County. Furong Town used to be the administrative seat of Peng's chieftain. It is located in a traffic hub and has prosperous commerce and trade. It is a typical ancient town in western Hunan. Furong Town has three characteristics: one is the ancient town located on the waterfall. The Mengdong River staggered all the way, passed through Furong Town, then jumped off the cliff and merged into the Ganjiang River. The second is that the people live next to the water, and the houses are built along the hills, with a compact layout and clear layers. When night falls, the lights of the town are lit up one after another, just like the bathing center of Granny Tang in "Spirited Away". The third is "Liu Xiaoqing" rice tofu. A bowl of rice tofu, served with Xiangxi sour pepper, this sour and refreshing, can't stop at all. Director Xie Jin once filmed the movie "Furong Town" here. Through the grievances and hatreds in the town, he portrayed a group of typical characters of the times and told a story of regret. Hot movie star.
There is a red stone forest near Furong Town, a world geological park. Because of the hot weather, we had to give up.
2. Zhangjiajie
2.1 Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province.
Zhangjiajie is one of the most prestigious tourist areas in China. The main attractions are Tianmen Mountain, Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Tianmen Mountain's glass plank road, winding road, cableway, wing flying, etc. continue to refresh the screen, making Tianmen Mountain's tourism popularity soar and it has become the most famous scenic spot in Zhangjiajie. However, in terms of uniqueness, representativeness and cosmopolitanity, the most representative scenic spot in Zhangjiajie should be Wulingyuan Scenic Area, the core part of which is Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
2.2 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
Get out of Furong Town, take the provincial road, enter Zhanghua Expressway, more than 100 kilometers, arrive near the sign gate of Zhangjiajie, and stay at Suoxi Shanju Light Luxury Resort Hotel. The hotel is convenient to travel. Turn to the right when you go out, and you can reach the sign gate in a few minutes. Only by entering the park from here can you enjoy the forest park in all directions. The deluxe double room is the most cost-effective, with reasonable interior layout and exquisite decoration, especially the bed is very comfortable, and I feel satisfied when I lie on the bed and read a book beautifully.
The main attractions of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park are "Three Mountains and Two Valleys". Suoxi provided us with the best travel route: on the first day, Tianzi Mountain-Yuanjiajie-Shili Gallery; on the second day, Jinbianxi-Huangshizhai. For hundreds of millions of years, it sank into the sea twice and exposed the ground twice, forming the forest park's quartz sandstone peak forest landform, also known as "Zhangjiajie Landform". The quartz sandstone of the "Zhangjiajie Landform" is not hard, and is easily eroded by running water, wind and plants, and continuously collapses and peels off, thus forming a unique geological wonder of peak forests. Its development can be roughly divided into three stages: the first stage is the mountain platform, the second stage is the gable and stone pillars, and the third stage is the residual pillars.
2.3 Tianzi Mountain.
On August 7, it was overcast. Enter the park from the sign gate, take the free shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain, and reach the Tianzi Mountain Cableway. Transfer to the Tianzishan cableway, pass through the peak forest, and reach the viewing platform on the top of the mountain. In the early morning, the fog rises, and the peaks and forests are like shadows in the clouds and mists, which is quite like a wonderful painting. It's a pity that the clouds cleared and the fog cleared in minutes, and the scenery was unobstructed without any suspense, but it lost a lot of fun. Standing high and looking far away, the mountains are undulating and magnificent. There are scattered villages and towns in the mountains, which are full of fireworks. Take the shuttle bus from the viewing platform to He Long Park, where some of Marshal He Long’s remains are buried, and his bronze statue is erected. Being able to rest in such a beautiful place is really the so-called "death without regret". In Helong Park, you can see "fairies presenting flowers". A stone peak is shaped like a fairy, and the vegetation in front of the peak is lush, shaped like a flower basket. It can be seen that "flowers grow from a wonderful brush", several stone pillars are closely connected, and vigorous dwarf pine grows between the stone gaps and on the stone pillars, just like flowers blooming from a wonderful brush. It can be seen that "samurai taming horses", a strange rock protruding from the edge of the cliff, looks like a warrior, and in the valley below the cliff, there are countless strange peaks and strange rocks, which can be compared to war horses tamed by warriors.
2.4 Yuanjiajie.
It takes half an hour to take the ferry from Helong Park to Yuanjiajie, and there are still wonderful scenery on the way. Yuanjiajie is the essence of the forest park, and it is a relatively mature "Zhangjiajie Landform". In the wide valley between Yuanjiajie and Huangshizhai, there are hundreds of stone pillars and stone walls in various poses. It is said that this place was once occupied by bandits, and they used the special terrain to deal with the encirclement and suppression, creating a frightening "Ecstasy Array". Mr. Wu Guanzhong once said: "In order to create, I have traveled almost all the famous mountains and great rivers." When he came to Yuanjiajie, he saw the mist rising in the valley, and all kinds of strange stone pillars appeared like shadows in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth. I was deeply shocked, and created the famous painting "Zhangjiajie" from it. James Cameron, a famous Hollywood director, accidentally saw the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie, especially the "column of heaven and earth" in Yuanjiajie. Mountain".
2.5 Shili Gallery.
After visiting Yuanjiajie, I went down the Bailong Ladder and arrived at the parking lot. It was only after 3 pm, so I decided to go to Shili Gallery again. It takes about 10 minutes to take the shuttle bus to the parking lot of the gallery. The name of this strange peak is well changed. The so-called 10-mile gallery is a canyon between two mountains. It is 10 miles back and forth from "Shouxing Yingbin" (at the entrance of the scenic spot) to "Three Sisters". The sidewalk runs parallel to the sightseeing train, and the trees on both sides are lush and lush. Strange peaks stand on the ridge with different postures. There are also "old man picking medicine", "index finger peak", "peacock spreading its tail" and so on, all of which are vivid and full of wit.
2.6 Golden Whip Creek.
August 8, overcast. Take the shuttle bus from the sign gate and go straight to the Golden Whip Creek. Jinbianxi is a long and secluded canyon. It was originally "raised in a deep boudoir and unknown to people". The famous painter Wu Guanzhong came here to sketch, not only left a wonderful painting, but also wrote a composition to remember it. Jinbianxi became famous because of it.
Xikou is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the canyon meets the scenic road. The Zhangjiajie Geopark Museum is built next to the site. Walking upstream along the stream, the terrain is flat, the shade is dense, the air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant. The stream is gentle and crystal clear, and the Jinxi small fish swim around in groups, freely and without fear of tourists. Some tourists with families and children strolled along the trails, and time slowed down; some simply rolled up their trousers, picked up small nets, and went to the stream to catch fish; some waited and watched by the river, catching fish for the river little kids cheering. It's a pity that these small fish seem to be careless, but they are actually very clever. The tourists almost got nothing and just wanted to be happy. The weather is hot, and monkeys in the mountains gather in the canyon, splashing in the stream, which is very interesting. It's just that tourists often feed them, and the monkeys gradually don't recognize life and show no fear. Some older monkeys become arrogant and grab food unscrupulously. On both sides of the stream, the trees are lush, and the sun shines on the ground through the shade of the trees. The solitary peak and the peak wall stand on top of the trees, with various shapes and different types. Compared with what you see on the mountain, it is really "horizontally viewed as a ridge and side peaks, with different heights from near and far. I don't know the true face of Wuling, only because I am here. In this mountain." Jinbianxi is about 5 kilometers away, entering from the museum, passing through the canyon, and then coming to the bottom of Huangshizhai, among which there are countless strange peaks and strange places. Mountains without water are not alive, and water without mountains is not invigorating. The Jinbianxi landscape complements each other, which is really a wonderful place in Zhangjiajie.
2.7 Huangshi Village.
Cross Jinbian Creek, take the ferry to Huangshizhai cableway, and take the cableway to Huangshizhai. The scenery of Huangshizhai is not inferior to that of Yuanjiajie. There is a saying that "if you don't come to Huangshizhai, you will come to Zhangjiajie in vain". However, tour groups rarely come here, and tourists are scarce. Huangshizhai is a platform on the top of the mountain, and you can get the essence of Wulingyuan scenery along the village for a week. The first thing you see is the "front garden", which is said to be "reduced fairyland, enlarged bonsai". At that time, there were not many tourists, sitting on the ground on the viewing platform, the mountain breeze was blowing, and the mood was carefree. Then see "Five Fingers Peak", five peaks stand side by side, like five fingers. Next to "Five Fingers Peak" is "One Pillar Peak", which is isolated from one pillar. Beside "One Pillar Peak", there are still residual pillars, which are decadent and collapsed. How the peak wall of "Zhangjiajie Landform" peeled off into peak pillars, and how the peak pillars disappeared, can be seen from this. Walking around the village, to the "back garden", Yuanjiajie is not far away, people can be seen, their voices can be heard, and the two sides can see the same peak forest, but the scenery is different. Finally, see "Fairy Scattering Flowers" and return to the starting point of the cableway.
After visiting Huangshi Village, walk down the mountain road, and get in touch with the strange peaks and rocks seen on the mountain. When I met tourists and sisters from Henan, and met the "King of the Mountain" (the Zhangjiajie monkey group) blocking the way, there were so many people that the monkeys did not dare to act rashly and went down the mountain smoothly. Zhangjiajie has no regrets so far!
Three, Yongshun Old City.
On August 9, I went to Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou as planned to climb the highest peak of Wuling Mountain. Stop by Laosi City.
Tusi ruins may be the most inconspicuous heritage in China's World Heritage List. It includes the ruins of Tangya Tusi City in Xianfeng, Hubei, the Laosi City ruins in Yongshun, Hunan, and the Hailongtun ruins in Zunyi, Guizhou. Tusi is a special governance method adopted by the central government in the minority areas in Southwest China. Tusi is appointed by the central government and pledges allegiance to the central government, but retains local autonomy, similar to a "special administrative region".
From August to February of the fifth year of Jin Tianfu (939) after the Five Dynasties, Ma Xifan, the monarch of the southern Chu State, launched a war against Peng Shichou, a local power in Yongshun, which was called the "Battle of Xizhou" in history. The Chu army used rockets, which caused the cottage houses, fences, and granaries to catch fire. The flames shot up to the sky, and Peng Shichou abandoned the village and fled. In the first month of the fifth year of Tianfu (940), Peng Shichou sent his second son, Peng Shigao, to lead the barbarian chiefs Tian Hongbin, Qin Xingfang, Xiang Cunku, and Luo Junfu to surrender to Chu State with brocades, prizes, Xizhou seals, and maps. After negotiations, the two parties concluded a covenant, casting copper pillars of Xizhou in Huixiping, Yongshun, Peng Shichou and Chu drew the river to rule, the south of the Youshui belonged to Chu, and the north of the Youshui belonged to Peng Shichou. The "Xizhou Copper Pillar" is engraved with the words "Er Neng is obedient, I have no corvee, the state pays and rents, and I provide for myself, and the local soldiers do not take part. There will never be any danger of gold and weapons, and the industry of farming and mulberry will be guaranteed. " and other words, indicating that the central government (Chu State) recognized the local power of the Peng family and granted the right of self-government, and the chieftain system began to be established. From this, Peng's chieftain began to rule the Yongshun area of Hunan for hundreds of years, until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty "reformed the land and returned it to the people". Laosi City has witnessed the success or failure of the chieftain system for dozens of generations and hundreds of years.
Laosi City is backed by the green hills, with the mountains as the screen, and the Lingxi River passing by, with the water as the barrier. There are both mountain roads and waterways to reach, where water and land meet. It was once "the giant town of five streams and the border city of thousands of miles". In the vicissitudes of life, the chieftain system has been abolished for a long time, and the glory of the Peng family has long since disappeared. Now only ruins remain. , city towers, ancestral temples, city walls... can only be discerned vaguely according to the signs. Walking on the ruins, there is only the sadness of "success or failure, success or failure, the country is still there, and the sunset is red several times." On the banks of the Lingxi River, a few small boats are waiting for travelers. The sun is shining at noon, but the shade of the trees leaves the pier cool, and the bored boatmen doze off unconsciously. The local native children are playing lively, tossing on and off the boat.
Four, Fanjing Mountain.
On the evening of August 9th, I finally made a detour and arrived at the foot of Mount Fanjing.
On August 10, climb Fanjing Mountain. The so-called "climbing" is actually inappropriate. The car and the cableway will take us directly to the top of the mountain. It is the peak tourist season of Mount Fanjing, tickets are booked in advance, so Mount Fanjing is almost stuck in the middle of our itinerary, this feeling is very uncomfortable. For example, if you arrive at Fenghuang in the evening on August 9th, you can stay overnight before leaving. Unfortunately, it is difficult to change the Fanjingshan scheduled on August 10th.
"Since ancient times, there have been many monks in famous mountains." Fanjing Mountain is a "famous Buddhist mountain" and "Maitreya Taoist Temple", with a strong religious atmosphere. The diversity of flora and fauna and the uniqueness and representativeness of geological structure enable it to be included in the "World Heritage" list.
At 10:00 in the morning, check the ticket and enter the mountain. Take the shuttle bus to the cableway entrance, the mountain road is narrow, and it is very difficult for two cars to go wrong. Turning and turning, upside down, it took about half an hour. The cableway is located about halfway up the mountain. The vegetation in the mountain is lush, the clouds are shrouded in mist, the houses are covered with moss, and the eaves are dripping with mist. The cableway runs through the clouds and mist.
At noon, the mountain is also filled with clouds and fog. On both sides of the trail, there are alpine bamboos and rhododendrons. The cold bamboos look more green, and the rhododendron trees are covered with moss. The moss is hanging with raindrops, and the raindrops are crumbling. What you see, smell, touch, and breathe is all wet and clean as if you just washed it. This is the foundation of Mount Fanjing, its original appearance, and we do not want people to know or visit.
After about half an hour, I finally climbed to the "Mushroom Stone". The fog gathered and became thicker and thicker. Slowly, the thick clouds gathered into rain and fog, and it began to rain. I secretly worried that Fanjingshan was going to be disappointed. No matter, let's go to the "Red Cloud Golden Summit" in the rain! Put on your raincoat, cover your backpack, and stride down the mountain...
The orogenic movement hundreds of millions of years ago made Mount Fanjing protrude from the bottom of the sea and rise into the sky. And the "Red Cloud Golden Summit" protrudes from the ridge, with isolated peaks standing upright, overlooking the mountains. The rain was still falling, and the fearless and dangerous tourists climbed to the top of the mountain step by step carefully. There are several roads that are almost 90 degrees vertical, and some roads must be drilled through the cracks in the rocks. Climbing to the mountainside for a rest, I suddenly realized that the rain had stopped, the clouds and mist in the valley were slowly dissipating, the lush vegetation gradually revealed, the "old golden roof" on the high place slowly revealed its true appearance, and the white temple was faintly visible. distinguish. However, the mysterious Mount Fanjing still "holds the pipa half-hidden", but fortunately, I finally saw half of it by chance and coincidence. Gather your courage and spirit, continue to climb, and climb to the Golden Summit in one go. The most unique feature is that the top of the mountain seems to be split into two by a knife, and the bridge connects the two ends, and the two become one again. Two small white temples stand on the top of a high mountain, exposed to the sun and rain, and the walls are mottled and peeling off. Who is worshiped in the temple? The oil lamp is dim, unknown. (It is said that there is a temple on each side, one side is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha and the other side is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha.) The mist swept in again, and there was nothing but vastness outside the golden dome. After waiting for more than half an hour, the fog still persisted, so I finally gave up and went down the mountain slowly. Perhaps, this is the charm of Mount Fanjing, which attracts people to come here again and again, but they are not completely satisfied every time.
Going down to "Pudu Square", the clouds and mist slowly dissipate, and the "Red Cloud and Golden Summit" clearly appears in front of you: the peak is about 100 meters high, like a jade pillar supporting the sky, like a dragon going out to sea, like a summer bamboo shoot breaking through the ground, handsome and straight, Majestic and magnificent, people can't help but sigh the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. Just as I was amazed, the mist rose rapidly, spreading from the valley to the ridge, gradually wrapping the "Red Cloud Golden Summit", and finally I saw the overpass and temples on the top high above, like a fairyland, like a heavenly palace, and disappeared in the clouds in an instant, leaving only It was chaos. From the time when the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed to the clouds and mist filled, it took only a few tens of seconds.
From the "Mushroom Stone" on the "Purdu Square", read the "Thousand Volumes of Books" and continue to climb the "Old Golden Summit". Although the "Old Golden Summit" is not as magnificent as the "Red Cloud Golden Summit" from a distance, the fun of climbing is no less than that of the "Red Cloud Golden Summit". "Old Golden Summit" is also sometimes filled with clouds and mist, and sometimes the clouds clear and the fog clears, like an "old urchin". Climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw a stone tablet with "2494 meters" engraved on it, and a white temple, where a golden Buddha statue was enshrined. I don't know who it is (it is said to be Sakyamuni Buddha). Looking at the "Red Cloud Golden Summit" not far away, the clouds and mists have dispersed several times, condescending, only to see its exquisiteness, and the feeling is different.
Sometimes the clouds clear and the fog clears, or the clouds and mists diffuse, or half-covered and half-opened, Fanjing Mountain is unpredictable in a day. Fortunately, all its different forms can be witnessed, and this trip is really worthwhile.
Five, Zunyi Hailongtun.
On August 11, from Jiangkou to Hangrui Expressway, nearly 200 kilometers, went to Zunyi and visited Hailongtun.
Hailongtun is located in the suburbs of Zunyi. It is a famous military fortress in the Ming Dynasty and a "world cultural heritage".
In the third year of Tang Qianfu (876 A.D.), Yang Duan, the ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou, Taiyuan, Shanxi, led his troops to recover and take charge of Bozhou (now Zunyi), and began to station troops in Longya Mountain. In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1596), Yang Yinglong, the twenty-ninth chieftain of the Yang family, mobilized 80,000 laborers and craftsmen. It took four years to expand the castle and palace on the basis of Longyatun built by his ancestors. For the last 12 levels, build strong walls and fortresses on the mountains within 5 square kilometers. The buildings are all built with huge stones, the gates are inlaid with the names of the gates, archery towers are built on the gates, warehouses, barracks, and water prisons are built in the city, and the gates are connected by stone walls. In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1599), Yang Yinglong, the Xuanwei envoy of Bozhou, raised his troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court urgently dispatched 240,000 troops to divide into eight routes to encircle and suppress Hailongtun. , which lasted 114 days, is known as the "Battle of Flat Sowing" in history. Afterwards, the government of the Ming Dynasty "reformed the land and returned it to the people" in Bozhou, abolished the chieftain of Bozhou, and put it under the management of officials sent by the central government. The centuries-old rule of the chieftain of the Yang family over the Zunyi area ended, and Hailongtun gradually fell into disrepair, leaving ruins.
Although there are only ruins left in Hailongtun, when you climb Hailongtun today, you can also imagine the powerful local power of Yang's chieftain, the exquisite military deployment, and the gold and iron horses in the 114-day bloody battle. It takes about 5 kilometers and takes more than 10 minutes to take the sightseeing "small train" from Hailongtun Visitor Center to Hailongtun Ruins Park.
Hailongtun Fortress starts from "Tiezhu Pass" and "Tongzhu Pass", then goes up to "Ximating" and comes to "Flying Tiger Pass". "Feihuguan" is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The steps are as high as 0.6 meters and the slope is about 50 degrees. It takes more than 1 meter to climb in one step. The scorching sun above the head, it is very strenuous to climb with bare hands. I think how difficult it must have been for the Ming army to conquer this pass. As the saying goes, "One man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it"! After passing "Feihuguan", about 1 km up, is "Feilongguan". Going up another 1 kilometer is "Chaotianguan". The so-called "Chaotianguan" means to submit to the Ming Dynasty. "Chaotian Pass" is "Feifeng Pass". It is true that one level is passed and another level is passed, and the level is a lock, and defenses are everywhere. After crossing the "Feifeng Pass", the terrain gradually becomes flat and gradually enters the command center of Hailongtun: "New Palace" and "Old Palace". The "Old Royal Palace" has long been destroyed and overgrown with grass. The "New Palace" also only left the foundations, and the former architectural pattern can be barely identified according to the foundations. Looking at the blurred historical marks in front of my eyes, and thinking about the gold and silver artifacts unearthed from the tomb of the Yang family in Bozhou, Guizhou Provincial Museum, I am deeply moved and inexplicably melancholy.
If you continue to walk, you can reach the "urn city" and exhaust this military barrier, but the weather is hot and the distance is long, so you have to return here. To see the main defensive relics of Hailongtun Military Fortress

6. Site of the Zunyi Conference.
On the morning of August 12, visit the Zunyi Conference site.
Anyone who knows a little bit about modern Chinese history knows about the Zunyi Conference. In October 1934, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by the Communist Party failed in the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Red Army were forced to transfer, and other Red Army forces were also transferred one after another. The Kuomintang regime organized a heavy siege, and the transfer of the Red Army was extremely difficult. At the beginning of 1935, the Central Red Army occupied Zunyi, an important town in Guizhou, and held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo, which was the Zunyi Meeting. The meeting affirmed Mao Zedong's military proposition, removed Bogu, Li De and others from their military command, and handed over military power to a three-person team composed of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Wang Jiaxiang, which in fact established Mao Zedong's core leadership position in the Central Committee. "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues" wrote: "As a result, the vast number of cadres and party members who opposed the "Left" line were united under the leadership of Comrade Mao Zedong. Therefore, in January 1935, under the leadership of Comrade Mao Zedong, the At the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, the rule of the "Left" line in the Party Central Committee was successfully ended, and the Party was saved at the most critical juncture. The Zunyi Meeting concentrated all efforts to correct the decisive The military and organizational mistakes are completely correct. This meeting started the new leadership of the Central Committee headed by Comrade Mao Zedong, which is the most historic change in the Chinese party.”
The meeting site is a two-story building with brick and wood structure and gray bricks throughout. It was built in the 1930s. It was originally the private residence of Bai Huizhang, a Guizhou warlord and commander of the Second Division of the 25th Army of the Guizhou Army.
Most of the tourists who come here are middle-aged and elderly people who are full of respect for the revolution. They put on red army uniforms, pose as model operas, and take group photos in front of the venue. There were also some young girls, dressed as female Red Army soldiers, passing me by with two thick and black braids.
Seven, Chishui Danxia.
On August 12, after returning to the hotel from the Zunyi conference site, I drove to Chishui. The heavy rain not long ago caused landslides and blocked roads. After driving along the Rongzun Expressway for about an hour, passing Huairen, I was forced to pass the Xishui Expressway, and was almost close to Chishui City before returning to the Rongzun Expressway.
Settled in the Hanting Hotel that I have always loved, and ate "Chishui Chief Examiner".
On August 13, visit "Sidonggou" after breakfast. The so-called cave in Chishui is not a cave, but a waterfall. Frog Cave, Bailong Cave. It began to rain on the evening of August 12th, and the rain stopped in the early morning of the 13th. The river surged and the waterfall became even more majestic.
Water Curtain Cave. Go to the tourist center of Sidonggou Scenic Area, and take the shuttle bus to the entrance of the scenic spot. The mountain road is gentle and the water flow is fast, like a yellow dragon rushing out of the mountain, desperately. After walking for about 20 minutes, you can hear the roaring sound of "rumbling". Through the dense bushes, you can vaguely see a waterfall jumping off the cliff. This is the Shuilian Cave. The river surged and the amount of water increased greatly. When approaching the Shuilian Cave, the waterfall seemed to have a mighty force, and the boiling water mist was poured out, rolling towards the face. There used to be a road behind the waterfall, and the water was like a curtain, but today I was scared away just by standing next to the waterfall, and I dare not walk behind the water curtain.
moon cave. From Shuilian Cave to Moon Cave, it takes about 10 minutes by foot. The waterfall is only a few meters high and forms an arc, and the pool under the waterfall also forms an arc, forming a waning moon, hence the name Moon Cave.
Frog Hole. It takes another 20 minutes to walk from Moon Cave to Flying Frog Cave. After the new rain, the trees are green, the air is fresh, the terrain is gentle, the river is no longer impatient, and "murmurs" in a low voice. Before I knew it, I arrived at the Flying Frog Cave. A huge boulder above the waterfall, like a frog about to jump with its feet hard, splits the waterfall in two with its huge body. The poor frog seemed to be caught by two waterfalls and couldn't even jump up.
White Dragon Cave. The road remains smooth and effortless. On the cool and humid river bank, for 10,000 years, spinosa trees have grown in twos and threes, like green umbrellas. He heard the roar of the waterfall not far away, but saw a snow-white falling waterfall. Turning a small bend along the cliff, I saw a waterfall flying down from the cliff of tens of meters. Walking on the stone pier in front of the waterfall, the water vapor hits in bursts, and in an instant, the whole body is wet. After passing the stone pier, the water vapor seems to be chasing you, forcing you to trot. Looking back, it is a bit charming, so maybe it is called "White Dragon Cave".
Chishui Danxia has many scenic spots. I personally think that "Sidonggou" is the most beautiful. The four waterfalls in "Sidonggou" have their own characteristics. "Bailong Cave" and "Shuilian Cave" are the most beautiful.
Returned to Leshan on August 13, 9 days before and after, all the way was smooth. Ctrip and AutoNavi maps provide great convenience. Special thanks to Zhangjiajie Suoxi Shanju Light Luxury Resort Hotel for its high-quality service and Guizhou Province's preferential tourism policies.
