In spring, the feeling is deeper for northerners. The vast land is full of bleakness, the north wind howls, and there is little ice and frost in Luhui, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu. Entering the vernal equinox, the thick spring is coming. The wind changes from bitter to warm, the tree grows from withered to tender buds, and the flowers are just about to bloom. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloom. Traveling during this time period must be "the most beneficial thing in the spring of the year, when thousands of miles of birds sing and green reflects red". On March 20th, my wife and I started our spring journey following the footsteps of spring.

Bijie-Baili Rhododendron

From Dongchuan District to Bijie, the whole journey is high-speed. I lament the rapid development of the road network construction in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. In the past, "the sky is never sunny for three days, and the land is never three feet flat", but now the expressway network is densely covered.

I was even more shocked when I passed the Beipanjiang Bridge. According to reports, there are three super-large bridges ranked among the top ten in the world on the Beipanjiang River alone. Among them, the Beipanjiang Super Bridge, which connects Puli Township, Xuanwei City, Yunnan Province, and Duge Town, Shuicheng County, Guizhou Province, is a component of Hangrui Expressway. Reduce the driving time from Xuanwei, Yunnan to Liupanshui, Guizhou from 5 hours to 1 hour. The Beipanjiang Bridge is currently the tallest bridge in the world, with a distance of 565 meters from the bridge deck to the river surface at the bottom of the bridge. Some people say that Guizhou is a must to see the construction of modern roads and bridges in China. As of 2016, according to statistics in 2016, Guizhou accounted for 14 of the top 20 tallest bridges in the world. It can be said that Guizhou's road and bridge construction represents the world's top level.

At 12:30 noon, arrive at the visitor center of Baili Rhododendron Scenic Spot in Bijie. Tickets: 130 yuan, shuttle bus: 10 yuan, sightseeing car: 35 yuan. The entire scenic spot is divided into two parts, Jinpo and Pudi. One ticket is universal. The visitor center is close to the west gate of Pudi scenic spot. It takes about 20 minutes to take a shuttle bus from here to reach the entrance of Pudi scenic spot. To go to Jinpo Scenic Area, you have to take a shuttle bus, or drive there by yourself.

Baili Rhododendron is located in the northwest of Guizhou, in the middle of Bijie City, adjacent to Qianxi County in the south, Dafang County in the northwest, and Jinsha County in the east. This is the largest primitive rhododendron forest belt on the earth, which is distributed in a ring shape, stretches for more than 50 kilometers, is about 1-5 kilometers wide, and has a total area of ​​125.8 square kilometers. There are more than 60 species of rhododendrons distributed. It is the largest natural rhododendron garden in the world. , and the only Rhododendron Forest Park in my country.

Every year from mid-to-late March to the end of April, Rhododendrons are in full bloom, and the mountains and seas of flowers bloom everywhere; The most rare thing is that a tree has different flowers, and a tree can have flowers of different colors, up to 7 kinds. The thousand-year-old rhododendron king is the largest rhododendron tree ever found on the earth.

Take the ferry to the west gate of Pudi Scenic Area. The scenic spots include: Wucai Road, Shexiang Ridge, Zuijiu Niu, Shuhuafeng and other scenic spots. Enter the scenic spot and continue to take a sightseeing bus tour.



The sightseeing car gallops in the sea of ​​flowers, no one is not amazed, no one is not fascinated.

The first stop, Wucai Road. The so-called colorful road is a total of five roads leading to the flower area, which means colorful, colorful, and colorful. It is the starting point and center of the scenic spot. Tourists gather here and start to wander in the sea of ​​flowers. Standing on a high viewing platform, the white-topped Rhododendron Museum is hidden in the valley, and the colorful road hovers among the sea of ​​flowers. Looking from a distance, there are mountains and plains, mountains and sky, flowers all over the sky, mighty and colorful. Strolling on Yuntai, people are like flowers, and flowers are like the sea.




The road is multicolored, and the flowers are seven colors. There are more than 40 varieties of rhododendrons in the sea of ​​flowers, colorful and charming, some are shy, some are proud; some are petite, some are big; some are gorgeous, some are elegant. They show off their beauty and drive quietly, like models on a runway trying to show their beauty.



The second stop, Shexiang Ridge, is the place where Shexiang and Aicui talk about love.

According to legend, the Guduo cottage in the west of the water (now in Gulin County, Sichuan Province) is extravagant and fragrant. It is said that the head of the village, Ai Cui, set up a flower field in Yunluo Mountain, and invited girls and boys from all over the world to attend the meeting and compete with horses and arrows. After Shexiang went to Huachang, she was favored by Ai Cui, and took charge of the Shuixi administration, opened up official roads connecting the Central Plains, and set up nine post stations from Longchang (now Xiuwen County) to Bijie. Mrs. Shexiang was praised by later generations as a female politician of the Yi nationality, and a heroine who safeguarded national unity and national unity.


The third stop, Zui Jiu Niu.

Zui Jiu Niu is the most vivid scenic spot in Pudi Scenic Area. According to historical records: In the seventeenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. Shexiang, chieftain of Shuixi, in order to maintain the peace of the southwest border, presented nine Shuixi native cattle as tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang. When he came here, the earth cow was fascinated by the colorful rhododendrons and refused to leave, so he became drunk in the rhododendron forest. After Shexiang told Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Shexiang, let's call it "Drunken Nine Bulls". So Zui Jiu Niu got its name.

The fourth stop, the number of flower peaks. There is a high viewing platform on the top of the mountain, like a giant rhododendron tree with blooming stamens, which is the highest point of the entire scenic spot. Climbing up to overlook, you can see all the mountains at a glance, and all the mountains bow their heads. The mountains are covered with rhododendrons, and the undulating mountains are like a carpet of flowers. This is the landscape of flowers and the world of colors.

After visiting the Pudi Scenic Area, and seeing that there is still plenty of time, we went straight to the Jinpo Scenic Area. There is still about 13 kilometers away from Pudi Scenic Area to Jinpo Scenic Area, and it takes about half an hour to drive. If you take the shuttle bus, you must be optimistic about the return time, otherwise you have to take a taxi back by yourself.

Jinpo Scenic Spot belongs to Qianxi County, and the scenic spot includes Baihuaping, Thrushcross Ridge, Lantana Forest, Jinpo Ridge and other scenic spots. When we arrived, the sun was about to set, and it was a good time to enjoy the flowers.



Entering the scenic spot, climb up a section of tree-lined road shaded by trees, and come to the center of the scenic spot, where there is a theme garden dedicated to worshiping the God of Flowers. The magical and eccentric carvings tell the traditional custom of ancient Yishan people offering sacrifices to the God of Flowers.

The theme garden dedicated to the God of Flowers was built for Soma Wei, the God of Flowers.

The statue of the flower god Suomawei is accompanied by azaleas all over the mountains and fields. It is the most worshiped, beautiful and kind azalea god in the hearts of Yishan people. The Yi people call the azalea the sacred flower, the Soma flower, the Mayilu flower, and the Yiren flower. Whenever the azalea is in bloom, the Yi people will gather here to worship and worship the Soma flower god.

At the foot of Soma Wei, the god of flowers, a stone path among flowers leads to Lan Rover Peak. This place is called Baihuaping,

Looking back at Baihuaping, the mountains are undulating, and the branches of a pavilion stand upright among the thousands of flowers, and the Wanhua Building is impressive.



Climb up the stairs in the flower path and climb to the Wanhua Building. Right now, the sky is full of flowers and fragrant; layers upon layers, boundless; flowers are like tides, and people are like in a fairyland.

The Soma Suspension Bridge is erected between the two mountains. Walking on it is like visiting the god of flowers.

Cross the cable bridge, deep in the wooden plank road, there are many beautiful scenery waiting for you in Jinjijing, Huameiling, Mayinglin and Jinpoling.

Helpless, the sky was already dark at this time, so I had no choice but to reluctantly go down the mountain, and my plan to see the King of Rhododendrons was also in vain.

The Baili Rhododendron Scenic Area has a large area, and the two scenic spots are far apart. In particular, the Rhododendron King is 17 or 8 kilometers away from the Jinpo Scenic Area. tight.
