Day 3 Siguniang Mountain Changpinggou hiking 21.75 kilometers

Changpinggou Scenic Area opens to pick up guests at 7:30, Meimei sleeps late in the morning, wakes up at 6:40, and simply eats a warm breakfast prepared by the proprietress in the hotel, including porridge, light buns, and eggs. After charging the electricity, we went to the scenic spot and took the scenic bus to the entrance of Changpinggou. Four girls stood in front of us. Turning around and looking back, the snow-capped mountains at Maobi Bridge observation point appeared in front of me.

Not long after entering the ditch, there is a Sgula Temple, the first Tibetan Lama Temple I saw.

It was early in the day and the temperature was low, and the plank road was covered with a thin layer of autumn frost. From time to time, people could hear the soles of their shoes slipping. The leaves on both sides of the plank road were covered with a thin layer of frost, as if it was early winter.

Strings of "yarns" hung from the branches, covered with layers of moss. At first I thought it was a new tree species here, but later I realized that it was a small plant parasitic on the branches.

There is a withered "grandma tree" beside the plank road. It is said that the three finger buds point to Shuangqiaogou, Changpinggou and Haizigou respectively.

As I was walking, I heard the sound of running water, and when I made a sharp turn, there was a string of white and flawless water hanging in the green bushes below the top of the snow-capped mountain in the distance, and a round of moon was inlaid in the blue sky above the snow-capped mountain. , beautiful! It turned out that we had arrived at Chongchongjiao Waterfall.

Shuttle through the valley like a virgin forest, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, streams like white jade, colorful Tibetan characters, and the moon that is nostalgic for the blue sky and white clouds, breathing the fresh air bursting with negative cations, suddenly Feel refreshed and quicken your pace.

3.5 kilometers into the ditch, there is one of the most beautiful dead tree beaches in Changping Ditch. A piece of dead trees stands on the white sandy beach. From the narrow and long ravine to the side of the open pool suddenly, the field of vision is instantly widened. In the morning, the frost is heavy and the temperature is low. The tree stands on the smooth and beautiful white sandy beach, which contrasts with the snow-capped mountains on the back. I am shocked and feel refreshed. A young couple is posing in various poses and poses by the pool, enjoying happiness, passing on happiness, and leaving happy memories.

Going forward, in the right front of the plank road, a large piece of natural stone murals appears in front of you, just like the predecessors carved a "magic brush painting" on the stone wall and inlaid in the green trees, lamenting the uncanny craftsmanship of nature!

After walking more than 6 kilometers of plank road, we entered the original ecological "prime forest" area. Horseback riding or on foot, most people choose horseback riding, we continue on foot, and some of them go through the "forest" to Bipenggou, and climb over on foot with horses and luggage. There is a water beach at the junction of the plank road and the dirt road, where tourists who do not continue to go play and take pictures.

Walking on the muddy road or mossy road accompanied by the smell of horse manure, I felt the breath of "primitive forest" for the first time, leaving "primitive" marks along the way. From time to time, two, three, four or five groups of horses overtook us. It turns out that four feet are really faster than two feet.

Travel to "Shanghai Zi" for a short rest, and look for reflections along the Haizi. Sure enough, in Haizi, we found the beautiful shadows of the snow-capped mountains and forests in front of us, showing their different beauty in the clear water in the early morning. A team of three horses also arrived at the rest point from behind us to take a rest, and the horses strolled and ate grass.

The biggest advantage of hiking is that you can travel freely along the way, stop and go, look at the beauty of different perspectives of the snow-capped mountains along the way, look for the streams and ice layers on the roadside, and discover the unexpected beauty.

Lianghekou is the confluence of Changpinggou Xialuoge Glacier River and the mainstream of Changpinggou. Looking at the upper left, you can see Xialuoge modern glacier, which is a circular arc syncline structure of Lianghekou Glacier. One of the typical representatives.

Approaching a mountain depression in front of Hongshitan, due to the terrain, the temperature surrounding the mountain is relatively high, and the warmth of autumn is rushing towards the face. The golden yellow patchwork and overlapping peaks in front of you can't help but attract people to stop and stay.

Not far away is the Red Rock Beach, where the red rocks set against the golden and emerald green mountains, and the stream with white waves passes by, forming a colorful picture scroll.

After a long trek of nearly 11 kilometers, I finally arrived at Muluzi, the end of Changpinggou, the "grassland", snow-capped mountains, rivers, and leisurely horses by the river.

Blossoming, clusters of small blue and light blue flowers bloom on the "grassland", surrounded by snow-capped mountains, which suddenly gives people a feeling of flatness. The scenery is switched in an instant. The first few feet are still in the autumn scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. After a few steps, it quickly switches to the exotic scenery, as if you have come to the snowy grassland, and your mood suddenly opens up a lot.

Tourists come in groups, enjoying the scenery, taking pictures, playing, or resting, enjoying the gifts of nature. Sitting on the lawn, I inadvertently looked up and found a cute and cute big bear in white sitting on the top of the snow mountain in front of me, admiring the beautiful scenery (the right side of the snow mountain top in the picture).

After lunch (bring your own fast food, Muluzi does not provide food and beverages, you must bring your own) and return on the same road. Due to the rush of time (the latest scenic spot car is at 5:30 pm, and if you miss the last bus, you have to walk another 7 kilometers). In a state of exhaustion, they obviously felt that they could not reach the end of the journey. The two encouraged them while walking, and successfully caught up with the last train, successfully achieving the 21.75-kilometer round-trip hiking goal of Changpinggou.


Day 4 Shuangqiaogou in Mount Siguniang

Get up at 6:00 in the morning, put on all the clothes you brought, and return to the Maobi bridge observation point to watch the sunrise. The sky is bright and the sky is dark. Cameras have been set up at the observation point, and there are people watching the sunrise. Some are wearing down jackets, some are wrapped in blankets, some are shivering, and some have professional cameras set up on tripods. , Those who use small tripods to hold mobile phones, those who hold mobile phones and cameras, and those who use stones, food boxes, yogurt, etc. to fix mobile phones, are all looking forward to the first ray of sunshine in the sky.


Looking from a distance, there is a beautiful face engraved in the middle of Yaomei Peak. There is a long strand of clouds wrapped around the mountain, as if wearing a silver scarf for the four girls. Maybe God is afraid that the temperature will freeze in the morning There were four girls, and thin clouds floated in the sky, making the whole space less monotonous and more layered.

At 7:20, the first ray of sunlight fell on Yaomei's face, applying golden makeup on Yaomei, and the spectators raced against the clock to capture the alluring moment. Occasionally, there are tourists who are in a hurry, stop and continue on their way. We are not in a hurry, watching the sun shine on the faces of other girls in turn. As the clouds thickened, all four girls put on veils.

The surrounding mountains successively showed the beauty of "Rizhao Jinshan", especially the mountain on the left, which fell under the thick fog, only for a moment, shyly showed its face from a sea of ​​clouds, and hurriedly hid behind the sea of ​​clouds.


After appreciating the "Rizhao Jinshan" all the way, go back to the hotel and start to the second ditch of Siguniang Mountain after breakfast. It is also the largest, earliest developed and most beautiful ditch in Siguniang Mountain - Shuangqiao Valley. , then Shuangqiaogou is the lady of everyone, and the total length of Shuangqiaogou is more than 30 kilometers. Park the car in the parking lot near the entrance of the scenic spot, take the scenic spot traffic directly to the end of the ditch (3,840 meters above sea level), and then go back to enjoy the scenery at one stop. There are on-board radios along the way to introduce the brief introduction of the scenic spot.

First stop redwood forest

The scenic spot car goes directly to the Gouwei Station, which is the red fir forest scenic spot. The red fir forest is surrounded by snow mountains on three sides, attracting countless tourists to stop.

On the right side of Yutu Peak, a little rabbit is waiting for us, welcoming guests from afar.

The rising sun melted the snow on the top of the mountain, and white clouds floated on the top of the snow mountain. Entering the forest area, wandering in the sea of ​​gold, red, and green, the towering branches are densely packed, forming a picture.

The mature scenic area has many people, and the forest area is in the middle of the mountains. The tourists are concentrated on the plank road, which is even more crowded. Maybe they are used to the empty feeling with few people. They hurried around and returned to Baita Station by car.


The second stop Baita

As soon as you step out of the car, you can see the White Pagoda sitting on the mountainside. Colorful prayer flags hang obliquely around the White Pagoda from the top of the pagoda to the ground. A stone is engraved with words containing Tibetan culture, and colorful prayer flags entrust the blessings of Tibetan brothers.

There are snow-capped mountains all around the White Pagoda, just as the introduction of the scenic spot "there are mountains on both sides of the ditch, but the mountains are different", but the same mountain has different postures due to different angles.

Standing on the white pagoda and looking to the front right is Hunter Peak. Near the top of the mountain, there is a hunter with a hunting dog going up the mountain to hunt. On an unknown mountain obliquely opposite Hunter Peak, there is a pair of turtles looking up. There is a faint half moon hanging in the sky. The blue sky and white clouds never left.

Continue to take the scenic bus to the next station

The third stop is Sigu Nacuo

Mountains are alive with water, and Haizi adds a handsome and enchanting beauty to high-altitude mountains. Numerous dead seabuckthorns stand in Haizi. The tall seabuckthorn branches are either twisted or stretched out, together with the surrounding snow-capped mountains and colorful forests, they are reflected in the clear pool water, outlining a beautiful picture with strange shapes. This is one of the eight sceneries of Shuangqiaogou. One - Bonsai beach scenery. According to reports, the bonsai beach was formed due to the blockage of mountain torrents, alluvial sediment, and river diversion, which drowned the seabuckthorn trees that originally grew on land. Because the stream water contained calcification, the seabuckthorn tree desperately absorbed it before it died, causing a large amount of calcification to absorb. At the root, the seabuckthorn tree is dead and does not fall, standing in Haizi, like a dancer dancing ballet on the water.

Walking around Haizi clockwise, the surrounding snow-capped mountains are reflected in Haizi, and even the shadows are "horizontally viewed as ridges and sided as peaks, and the distances and heights are different".

At noon, I sat by Haizi, brewed two standard coffee and brought my own dry food, enjoyed the scenery and had lunch, enjoy!

The fourth stop is the fish dam

Continue to take the scenic spot car to get off at the Yuyu Dam, and walk along the winding plank road to an unknown waterfall. The sound of rushing water attracted our attention, so we temporarily decided to climb up the mountainside to find out. Climbing up the wooden steps, tourists basically don't take this fork in the road, just the two of us climbing alone, stopping from time to time to leave a permanent memory for the waterfall. There is a pavilion at the highest point of the wooden steps, which is convenient for tourists to rest, but it is not the best viewing place, and the best viewing place is on the next platform.

After going down the mountain, continue to move forward, the stream flows from the left, and some tourists float down the stream in kayaks.

After passing the winding and long plank road, we arrived at a flat and open grassland.

There is a small ditch inlaid in the middle, occasionally revealing the reflection of the snow-capped mountains, and occasionally tourists are looking for it, so we can't avoid it, looking for it in the small ditch. It is said that during the flowering season in spring and summer, a lake of flowers is formed here, forming a strip of flowers.

The fifth stop Longzhucuo

Exiting Yuyuba and entering Longzhucuo, it is also the scenery of bonsai beach. Because it is similar to Sigu Nacuo, many tourists give up visiting this scenic spot and rush to the next stop. We went back and forth in the area where the scenery is more concentrated. Circle, enjoy the different scenery. On one side is the calm lake water, and on the other side, white water splashes are caused by the drop and the blocking of scattered stones of different sizes, and the lake surface is moving and still.

There is an exhibition hall between the scenic spot and the bus station. You have to wait for the bus to pass the time. Enter the exhibition hall to have a look.

The sixth stop: ginseng orchard

Get off at Ginseng Fruit Ping Station, looking forward to the trees full of ginseng fruit, just like a monkey who accidentally fell into the ginseng orchard, with ginseng fruit all over his mouth and hands, look forward to it! But why didn't I see a ginseng fruit after walking for a long time! There are thick dead branches and bushes lying on the ground everywhere, as well as the sea buckthorn tree with golden fruits. If you can't eat ginseng fruit, pick some sea buckthorn fruit and taste it, it's sour! Seabuckthorn fruit grows at an altitude of 800-3600 meters and is rich in vitamins. Local people generally use it to make juice or make wine.

There are fewer tourists here, and they occasionally play by the stream. There are groups of yaks recuperating across the road. Tourists leaned against the railing and waited for the return bus.





In the afternoon, the clouds gradually thickened in the sky.

After leaving the Shuangqiaogou Scenic Area, it was still early, so I decided to move on and plan to stay in Xiaojin County at night. Passing through the Dawei Meeting Bridge in Jiajin Mountain, I saw the river along the sign and couldn’t find the bridge. After asking the local villagers, I walked back for a long time and finally found Shengli, the vanguard of the Central Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army who crossed Jiajin Mountain. The bridge where the teachers met was windy and sandy, and they squinted their eyes.

Diagonally opposite the sign is the Jiajinshan Red Army Primary School, and next to it is the Dawei Town Government. On both sides of the building, the slogan "Smart decision-making, proficient in business, sophisticated service, and fine management; start the fight against poverty and build a well-off society in an all-round way" is written. The surrounding buildings There are portraits and related materials of the Dawei Memorial Monument painted on the wall.

The road conditions are getting worse, and some road sections need to give way to each other due to road construction.

At 6:00 p.m., Dawori Town, you can see Wori Tutong official village and watchtowers. Among them, Jinglou and watchtowers are ancient relics. The official village is newly renovated or built with assistance from Zhejiang, Zhaxi Dele!

Continue on the road, there are vendors selling small golden apples on the side of the road from time to time yelling, I can’t help being tempted, get out of the car to inquire, yellow 2 yuan/catties, red 3 yuan/catties, the skin is thick, but the meat is crispy and sweet, I prefer it personally Small yellow golden apples with a light fruity aroma.

As the sky was getting dark, I met Li Xiannian and led his troops to welcome Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and other leaders, as well as the ruins of the Red First and Fourth Front Army entering the city. Get out of the car and pay your respects!

Dinner is at Xiaojin's "Chuanxiang Family", and the dishes are more exquisite. After dinner, go to the county square to watch the Tibetan brothers' Guozhuang dance and pay homage to the Fan Gong Red Army Monument!

After dinner, take a walk back to the hotel and enjoy the mountain city—Xiaojin County along the way.
