Everyone who has been to the west of the motherland, I think, will be overwhelmed by its beautiful natural scenery.
Although the mountains are long and the rivers are far away, I will still set foot on this vast land in the west again and again to find the beautiful scenery that I have only had in my dreams without letting myself have any regrets.
Dong Yuhui once said, I want to go to the end of the world with my sword. In the desert of no one in the northwest, there are hundreds of miles of yellow sand, the world is unique, and I am the only one who is small.
In fact, in the vast western region, there are not only hundreds of miles of yellow sand, but also Zhayana, the fairy mirror in the world, Labrang Monastery, which can purify the soul soaked in dust, and Mai, which is full of history. Jishan Grottoes and so on. .
This time, for my dream, so, in this August, under the uncertain factors of the general environment, I finally resolutely carried my bags and took my mother to the beautiful land of Gannan.
On August 16th, after we arrived in Mianyang to live in, it was after 9 o’clock. We sent a video to my aunt who had been married for many years. I saw her playing mahjong and hung up. I thought she would call the next day. What's the matter, as my mother said, she is not close to us, or she will come here from a long distance. I haven't seen her for many years. She has a car, so she will drive over to meet or make a phone call the next day. Just to say hello. Seeing that my mother was very disappointed, I regretted that I shouldn't have posted that video. I originally brought her out to relax.
On August 17, I packed up my mood and set off from Mianyang with longing.
Originally, today's itinerary was Guan'egou. Unexpectedly, this trip was far more difficult and difficult than imagined. When we drove for more than 8 hours to get off the Tanchang Expressway, we were persuaded to return because a close contact person drove from Tibet to Tanchang by himself last night, so Guan'egou was cancelled. On the way, my mother felt unwell, felt sick, and felt cold all over. I was a little worried. After all, my mother has high blood pressure, but fortunately she got used to it slowly.
We pass through Lazikou, which is located in the northeast of Diebu County and is the gateway and important traffic channel for Diebu to the vast Han area. wax
Zikou is a transliteration of the Tibetan language, which means "the dangerous mountain road and gorge". The mountains around Lazikou stand tall, and the mouth of the gorge is cut like a knife and an axe. On both sides of the Lazi River, there are cliffs, dense forests and narrow roads, and the terrain is dangerous. There is a trend of "one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it". The terrain of Lazikou is very dangerous. It is the throat of Ganchuan Passage.
In 1935, the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants passed through Lazikou on the Long March and won a great victory in the Battle of Lazikou here.
The tour guide invites everyone to eat popsicles here. We also take a break.
Check in, take pictures, take pictures. Stay in Diebu County at night.
On August 18, when I woke up, I saw news in the group that the flight from Mianyang to Nanchang on the 21st was canceled due to the epidemic. I didn't worry too much at the time. I thought how everyone could go back, so I would go back. My biggest concern is whether Zhagana can play normally today.
Departed on time at 7:30 after breakfast, and it took 20 minutes to arrive at the customer service center, but it took nearly an hour for the tour guide to buy the ticket. When he came back, he said that the rain last night caused a landslide, and he was repairing it early in the morning. fixed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at least they can play, don't make any troubles. The scenery in the mountains is really good. Along the way, there are high mountains and mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and the mobile phone keeps taking pictures. Finally arrived at Zagana,
Zha (zhā) Ga (gǎ) is a natural stone city, an ancient city located in Yiwa Township, more than 30 kilometers northwest of Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. It means "stone box" in Tibetan. The terrain is not only like a large-scale giant palace, but also like a natural rock wall.
In this place known as the fairyland on earth, those strange mountains and peaks are looming under the clouds and mist.
The heart that had been impetuous for a long time seemed to calm down in an instant.
Because of the high altitude, although it is not far from the village to the viewing platform, we walked very slowly, watching the scenery and taking pictures along the way.
The plank road is a little wet, and the air is also humid, but the breath between breaths is very fresh. This should be the breath of the fairy mirror in the world. This is the feeling of being relaxed and happy.
Walking up to the viewing platform, there are people changing into Tibetan clothes to take pictures, and some selling kebabs, ten yuan and three skewers, which is really not expensive. Standing on the viewing platform of Fairy Beach and looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, the clouds follow the sun in the towering mountains The rise of the sky is slowly dissipating, and I just watched this uncontested village like this.
Suddenly I remembered that autumn Hemu, it was also the morning after the rain, and after climbing up to the viewing platform, I quietly looked at the village surrounded by clouds and mist at the foot of the mountain, until the sun came out and the clouds and mist slowly dissipated. However, in this looming, the beautiful presentation of the world makes you feel that all the hardships and hardships along the way are worthwhile in the world. . .
I thought that everyone would have a desire to escape, but heaven is too far away, and the world is too flashy, so let’s come to Zhagana once. . .
After leaving the fairyland on earth, we came to Langmusi.
Langmusi Town is a small town jointly under the jurisdiction of Luqu County of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Ruoergai County of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. The Bailong River passes through the town. Among them, the Saichi Temple in the north of the Jiangbei belongs to Luqu County, Gansu, and is also called "Dacang Langmu Saichi Temple". All the temples belong to the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
The temples here are all golden domes, and this golden inlaid in the mountains looks extraordinarily dazzling and sacred. I
We didn't hear the explanation here, and I don't understand why Mr. Yu didn't arrange an explanation in this sacred place to let us understand, because if there is no explanation for this kind of cultural landscape, it can only be regarded as a natural scenery. I took a few photos, and later I googled it myself.
Then we consciously lined up and turned a circle in front of the rows of prayer wheels.
Some people say that he saw the flesh, but I was in awe. Usually I was not under the guidance of a guide, and I usually dare not step into the temple alone.
Before leaving, Mr. Yu invited everyone to drink a cup of the yogurt here, and sprinkle some green tree powder on it. The green powder is very fragrant, and it is very delicious to stir it together.
Since then, the visit to Langmusi has been perfunctory.
It was four o'clock when we left Langmusi, and it was almost seven o'clock when we arrived at the first bay of Jiuqu of the Yellow River, but I still saw self-driving cars coming one after another like us. It was raining now, and it was very cold. Even after adding a windbreaker, I still felt the biting cold wind.
The Yellow River originates from the Bayankala Mountain in Qinghai, and twists and turns from west to east. It meets the Baihe River in Tangke Town, Ruoergai County, Sichuan Province, forming the first major turn of the magnificent Jiuqu Yellow River. It faces Gansu Province across the river.
Ascending the heights and looking far away, you can see the two rivers, the yellow and the white, competing for flow. They come gracefully and gracefully, and wind away, like flying ribbons and Hada, floating from the end of the sky. It is said that the Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bays, and the most beautiful ones are the first bay and Hukou Waterfall.
The essence of the first bay of Jiuqu of the Yellow River is the sunset scenery.
But today’s weather and time node are destined to miss the sunset. We took the sky ladder. I sat on this kind of escalator for more than ten minutes for the first time. I always thought I was there, but I kept going up.
Finally climbed to the highest point, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but the sunset is missing.
It is very suitable for aerial photography, which can perfectly show the magnificence of mountains and rivers, and highlight the unique elegance of winding rivers.
Because the wind was very strong above, people were a little bit floating, we just took a few photos in a hurry and returned.
Fortunately, here are a few photos that I like.
Arrived at Ruoergai County People's Hospital at around 9:00 p.m. for nucleic acid testing. Since going out, I have been tested almost every day, and then I went to the Geer Dynasty Hotel where I stayed. This is a Tibetan-style hotel with great ethnic characteristics. I hurried to the room. Went to bed after a simple shower.
This night, I don't know if it was because of the slight high reaction, or because of the decoration of the room. The colors are very bright and thick because of the ethnic characteristics, which made me feel a little breathless, and my mother was tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep. In the end, I didn't know what time it was until I fell asleep in a daze.
On August 19th, when I went to eat in the morning, I passed a long small street. There were some bars and selling some ethnic souvenirs. It was very beautiful. I thought it would be a good idea to go shopping here at night or just find a place to sit. Very nice thing.
The extremely simple breakfast does not match this luxurious restaurant. After filling my stomach, I came out from another exit, only to find that the beautiful street just now is actually inside the hotel.
It's just that these beautiful things pass by us in a hurry, and we don't have time to take a closer look.
Then we galloped on the prairie again and arrived at the Huahu scenic spot.
Huahu Lake is a natural lake on the grassland of Reer Dam. The Reer Dam is the second largest prairie in my country after the Hulunbuir prairie, with an altitude of 3,468 meters.
I heard that the classic time of Huahu Lake is in May and June. The lakeside is colorful, like clouds and rosy clouds, while the lake is full of gorgeous flowers like water monsters. This kind of plant looks ordinary. Dye the pure blue lake water into light lotus root color, sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, like a touch of blush when a girl bows her head when she is thinking of spring.
When we arrived at the stop in the Jingjiao car, we started to walk along the boardwalk.
It is August now, and the grass on both sides has turned green and yellow, and some small yellow flowers are still blooming in some places.
Flocks of sheep are grazing leisurely a little farther away, and the continuous mountains still stand around the prairie with thick clouds. This is a beautiful scenery unique to the prairie.
However, it was the wrong time in the end, we did not experience the classics of Huahu Lake.
We entered the scenic spot relatively early, walking in twos and threes was more leisurely, and there was no fence on the plank road, so I couldn’t find a good support point to take a selfie with my mobile phone. My mother’s photography skills are too poor, and I occasionally ask her to take a picture or two. Purely as a souvenir.
By the lake, the water plants are desolate, the water birds are leisurely,
At this beautiful moment, we discovered that the hot water cup that my mother had accompanied her for nearly 20 years was missing. I hurried back to look for it, because I was on a plateau and didn't dare to run, but I couldn't find it. Mom looked annoyed.
I said, forget it, just throw it away, anyway, it has been used for more than ten or twenty years. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.
In fact, I know that because of being with me for so many years, my mother is even more reluctant.
After filling our stomachs and coming out of Huahu Lake, we came to the Sika Deer Ecological Park, where there is a piece of lavender and a big mani pile.
Mani piles are piled up by ordinary stones. Mani stones engraved with six-character mantras, Buddha statues, and scriptures are placed on the top, and then prayer flags are inserted to become mani piles with spiritual energy for passers-by to visit. . Every time Tibetans pass through a mani pile, they will add a prayer stone, so that the mani pile will be piled higher and higher. Every time I enter the Tibetan area, I can also see the prayer flags blown by the wind, and every time they flutter, it symbolizes that the person who hangs the prayer flags is chanting, so that the wind can convey their wishes to the gods.
Every time I see these scenes, I will walk silently with awe and prayer in my heart. . . .
In fact, there are not many Tiebu sika deer here. The Tiebu sika deer is also a national first-class protected animal, and the current number is only more than 1,000. It is the first time to see the sika deer with my own eyes. It is still very fresh.
Overnight in Wudu. When getting off the highway, continue to do nucleic acid testing.
On August 20th, on the way from Wudu to Tianshui today,
There is a Tibetan village of 20 or 30 households called Cirina. From a distance, you can see the red monument on the right side of the road. When you get closer, you can see the characters "Crina Chairman Mao's former residence" on the monument.
The monument to Chairman Mao's former residence in Czrina and the small square are newly built and are very eye-catching on the side of the road. We stepped on the colorful path to a quaint house. The owner was not there, but branches of several fruit trees extended from the wall.
We knocked on the neighbor's courtyard door curiously, and when we opened it, we were all stunned. There were all kinds of flowers in the small courtyard, and a few half-black grapes hung on the grape trellis. I had never seen it with my own eyes. I have been to this kind of courtyard full of happiness. When we came out of this house, several girls were buying pears in another small courtyard. They are all small yards, but there are several kinds of fruit trees planted, all of which are full of fruit. , There is a small pavilion under the fruit tree, and various vegetables are grown around it. This is the small farmyard that people yearn for.
A group of us bought all the pears from the owner’s house. It cost five yuan a catty. The fruit trees and tomato seedlings of the family bowed to welcome us, and sent me out of this small village with their chests upright.
I am very glad that we walked into this small village, which made me feel the paradise in this high mountain, not only with fireworks, but also
The taste of fashion.
At 11 o'clock, I got off the expressway at Jieting, but was blocked, so I went to Tianshuidongxia, where we continued to do nucleic acid testing. Here, the nucleic acid testing is performed once a day on average, sometimes twice a day. Epidemic prevention is very strict.
And what I am most worried about at the moment is whether we can visit the Maijishan Grottoes that I have longed for for a long time.
Fortunately, after lunch, we also entered the scenic spot smoothly.
Maiji Mountain Grottoes is a sub-scenic spot of Maiji Mountain Scenic Area, a lone peak in Xiaolong Mountain, named for its shape resembling a stack of wheat.
The Maijishan Grottoes were built in 384-417. There are 221 caves, 10,632 clay sculptures and stone carvings, and more than 1,300 square meters of murals. They are world-famous for their exquisite clay sculpture art and are known as the Oriental Sculpture Art Exhibition Hall.
The Maijishan Grottoes are a world cultural heritage and one of the four major grottoes in China. The Maijishan Grottoes retain a large number of physical materials in religion, art, architecture, etc., which reflect the characteristics of statues in various ages for more than a thousand years, reflect the development and evolution of Chinese clay sculpture art, enrich the history of ancient Chinese culture, and serve as a guide for future generations. The study of Chinese Buddhist culture provides a wealth of information and historical facts.
Compared with the three famous caves of Maijishan Grottoes, Maijishan Grottoes are more delicate, special and precipitous.
When I climbed the iron ladder, I asked my mother again and again, can I bear it? Mom said, go up first, and come down and wait for you if you can't bear it. The way up was far steeper than I imagined, and I wore a short skirt again. I had to hold the skirt tight with one hand and hold on to the ladder with the other. Walking was more difficult than my mother. Many of the caves are locked up, and it is impossible to see anything even through the barbed wire.
I am very glad that my mother walked more smoothly than me. While climbing the ladder carefully, a voice came from behind, do you still have the mind to look at the scenery? When I saw it was Mr. Yu, I could only hehehehe. . .
It's very windy up there, a gust of wind blows through, it's really not too comfortable, but when going down the stairs, the legs are shaking, especially when the wind blows, the stairs feel shaking. I was a little terrified, but fortunately I landed safely,
When I looked back again, I couldn't help feeling reverence for the ancients. In that ancient era, without any protection, what kind of belief did they use to support them to build on such a cliff? What about such a stunning work?
The time was a bit tight, because the Labuleng Temple in the original itinerary could not be visited, so it was changed to Fuxi in Tianshui.
In ancient mythology, Fuxi is the god of creation and the ancestor of the Chinese nation. He invented gossip, characters, tunes and so on. Even now, there are many myths about him. In our country, there are Fuxi temples in many places. Fuxi Temple, located in Tianshui City, is one of the famous ancient architectural complexes in Northwest China. Since there are written records, Tianshui has a history of more than 3,000 years. Tianshui not only has beautiful scenery, but also has rich history and culture.
This is the first contact with most of our team, but we didn’t arrange for a lecturer to explain, we just watched the flowers, and then saw the lecturer explaining, we hurried over to listen to it, and when we were listening vigorously , I was reminded that it was time again, and it was time to leave.
And I think that the human landscape without explanation is undoubtedly soulless. Mr. Yu's arrangement this time is tantamount to trying to make up the number, which is very perfunctory.
After dinner at five o'clock, we were sent to Tianshui Railway Station, so the trip to Gannan came to an end.
At this moment, we are all under such uncertain factors, and we are all counting on returning home safely as soon as possible. But at the same time, many group members are already planning their next trip.
This trip to Gannan is far away and difficult, which I have never experienced before. All the group members are disappointed and at the same time rejoicing. Due to the general environment, some scenic spots have been cancelled, making it impossible to visit, and Mr. Yu is also trying to make up for it with meals.
Fortunately, after going around like this, we finally returned safely, which is the greatest luck.
The mountains are high and the waters are far away. We traveled through mountains, rivers and seas together, and visited the grasslands and wetlands together.
Although there are indeed regrets in this trip to Gannan, I am still grateful for the steps I have taken, as well as my mother and my company for thousands of miles.
I have always thought that any beautiful scenery in this world is worth my all-out effort. . . . .
