Yunnan is not only "gentle", but this world-class canyon is both scary and dangerous.

On this earth, there are many unimaginable strange scenery, and the Grand Canyon is one of them. They can be called "miracles of nature", often steep and beautiful, and can be described as veritable "wonders".

Located in the northwest of Arizona, the Grand Canyon is known as one of the seven natural wonders on the earth. The Grand Canyon is 446 kilometers long with a maximum depth of 1740 meters. 1979 is listed as a world natural heritage.

The magnificent Colorado River rushes forward and has been scoured for a long time, cutting mountains and chiseling out the "king of canyons". The whole canyon is roughly east-west, winding and winding, like an unruly python, crawling on the Kaibabu Plateau. This is a beautiful geological picture, and the elevation change from the top to the bottom of the canyon has also created various wonders of nature.

Fish River Canyon, known as "the largest canyon in Africa", is located in Namibia. This canyon is similar to the Grand Canyon of Colorado. After a long period of scouring and baptism, the roaring Fish River carved a magnificent spectacle-Fish River Canyon.

The whole canyon is160km long and the deepest part is 550m. The cliffs on both sides are steep, and the canyon area is uninhabited, which is almost a forbidden area for life-except for rare spiny shrubs and desert lizards, it is vast and magnificent, which makes people sigh.

Together with the Fish River in Colorado and Namibia, it is called the three major canyons in the world, which is the brid River Canyon. This canyon is located in Kruger National Park in South Africa and was formed by water erosion. The bottom of the winding canyon is inlaid with the winding Bly River.

In addition to the cliff-like red sandstone, the whole canyon also has dense forests, waterfalls and strange stone landscapes. The highest point of the canyon is 1900 meters above sea level, and the lowest point is 600 meters above sea level. The huge gap forms the magnificent momentum of the canyon. If you walk along the canyon and stop, you can deeply understand that kind of thrilling.

In addition to the three recognized canyons in the world, China also has "Ten Most Beautiful Canyon", which are not inferior in terms of magnificence, shock and rich landforms. For example, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the roof of the world, is the longest and deepest river canyon in the world.

Its average altitude is over 3000 meters and its length is 496.3 kilometers. It is steep and deep, and its erosion undercut reaches 5382 meters. It is longer than the Colorado Canyon in the United States (440 kilometers long) and deeper than the Cordo Canyon in Peru (about 3,200 meters deep), making it the largest in the world.

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon not only ranks first in depth and width in the world, but also has nine vertical natural zones, from alpine ice and snow to low-lying tropical rain forests. It contains many precious natural resources, even shocking the world.

There are many mountains and rivers here, and the ice and snow are frozen. In addition, the canyon is deep and the torrent is roaring, which is called "the secret realm".

Among the top ten most beautiful canyons in China, Tiger Leaping Gorge and Tiger Leaping Gorge, named after the legend that tigers jump into rivers and stones cross rivers, are located at the junction of Shangri-La and Lijiang. The depth of the canyon ranks among the highest in the world, with an elevation difference of over 3,596 meters, making it a world-class canyon.

Sun Zongweng, a poet in Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty, once described the magnificence of Tiger Leaping Gorge as follows: "The axe of Liangcheng is chopped without trace, and the oxen rush to Xiang Li. The first line is divided into gutters, and the two mountains are sandwiched with fighting stones. "

The snow-capped mountains on both sides of Tiger Leaping Gorge are opposite, with Shangri-La Haba Snow Mountain on the left bank and Yulong Snow Mountain on the right bank. The vertical height difference is more than 3,900 meters, and the narrowest part of the river is only about 30 meters.

The Jinsha River, which trudged thousands of miles from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, was suddenly blocked by two snow-capped mountains, Yulong and Baja, and suddenly narrowed. Suddenly, the huge waves roared like tigers, giving people a thrilling feeling. It is also called "the first canyon of the Yangtze River".

With the arrival of the rainy season in Yunnan, the Jinsha River enters the rainy season around July every year, and the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area has reached the best viewing period. The spectacular scene of stormy waves is extraordinary, and you can stop and enjoy it on the wooden plank road next to Tiger Leaping Gorge. This spectacular scene is expected to last until the beginning of September.

Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into three sections: Upper Tiger Jump, Middle Tiger Jump and Lower Tiger Jump, with a total of 18 rapids. Walking is one of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Tiger Leaping Gorge is the most spectacular part of Tiger Leaping Gorge, and it is also the place where the whole Tiger Leaping Gorge was first developed and the wooden plank road was most completely preserved.

Tiger jump is the most dangerous of the three sections. There is a big gap between the river and the steep mountains on both sides of the river, and boulders often collapse to the bottom, forming a reef landscape of the river, so tiger jump is also called "the sky".

When the tiger jumps, the Jinsha River is much smoother, and the canyon is less thrilling and more delicate and empty. Here, the vision is wide, and what you can see with your eyes is fertile fields and buildings, and the mighty rivers are magnificent.

Yu Jian, a famous poet, once said, "One of my dreams in Yunnan is to put on the clothes of travelers I saw in the movie one day and cross the grand canyon-Tiger Leaping Gorge along the thrilling path." Do you also yearn for Tiger Leaping Gorge? Do you want to listen to the sound of stormy waves and roaring, and see the majesty of rock walls and deep canyons?

You will also meet Rizhao Jinshan Scenic Area, visit Meili all the way, punch in to Siteng's place, get close to the "snow elf" Yunnan golden monkey, and feel the infinite excitement of the south of the colorful clouds.

The sun and the moon in my heart

Shangri-La in Diqing is the pure land in everyone's eyes and the "sun and moon" in the hearts of Tibetans. It is a secret place described in the famous foreign work "Lost Horizon", and it is called "the closest place to heaven".

In this land, surrounded by rivers, snow-capped mountains, as cities and temples, look like a paradise.

The itinerary will take you to Dukezong ancient city, which used to be a bustling post station on the ancient tea-horse road. Dukezong Ancient City is the best preserved and largest Tibetan residential complex in China, but unfortunately, a fire in 20 14 destroyed most of it, and many buildings we see now have been restored.

A big fire killed Dukezong, but it also reshaped Dukezong in another way. Today's Dukezong is magnificent, not only beautifully built, but also sitting on the world's largest prayer wheel, which is as high as five floors and needs the cooperation of many people to turn.

Chikulinji in Gadong is another important temple on the Yunnan-Tibet border. Founded in 1667 (the sixth year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty), it was originally named "Chongchong Cuogang Temple", which means Xianhe Lake Temple.

East Chikulinji has a rich collection, among which the most precious are the only three three-dimensional Vajrayana altars in Kangzang area, symbolizing the core wisdom of Shambhala Kingdom.

In addition, you will also visit Gadan, which occupies an important position in the whole Tibetan area and is known as the "Little Potala Palace". Songzanlin Temple. This temple is the largest Gelug Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan. It is built on a hill and looks like an old castle. It is a masterpiece of plastic arts in Tibet, also known as "Tibet Art Museum".

Napahai, which means "lake behind forest" in Tibetan, is a seasonal natural lake. This trip will take you to visit Napa Sea. The bus is driving on the water highway, and the lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. It's beautiful, and it's also home to the Stern submachine gun.

Napahai and Ira grassland are integrated, and waterways only appear in rainy season. Every year when the southwest monsoon starts the rainy season in Shangri-La, 80% of the rain falls at this time of the year, and the water surface gradually expands to five times the original. It looks like the momentum of the ocean here.

When the lake falls in the non-rainy season, the highway will disappear and gradually become wetlands and grasslands, becoming a paradise for cattle, sheep, horses, black-necked cranes, spotted geese, white cranes and other animals. Cattle and horses play in wetlands or stroll in the water, and traditional Tibetan villages dot the coast of Napa Sea, creating a harmonious scene.

Pudacuo Forest Park in Shangri-La is deep and dense, with towering ancient trees and lush trees. Sunlight shines through the cracks in the leaves, and the grass is full of vitality. Here, we are in close contact with nature.

"Pudacuo" is a Sanskrit transliteration, which means "Zhou Hu", and the original Tibetan name is "Bitahai", which means "Pudacuo is the first national park in China that meets the protection standards of the World Conservation Union.

The park is located in the center of the "Three Parallel Rivers" world natural heritage in northwest Yunnan, with lakes, wetlands, forest meadows, river valleys and streams, one step at a time, making people dizzying.

Take a look at the magnificent natural beauty.

In the minds of simple Tibetan people, they think that every mountain is dominated by a mountain god, while Kawagebo, the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain, dominates the whole nature and is called "the most beautiful mountain in the world".

100 Over the years, 14 peaks over 8,000 meters and dozens of peaks over 7,000 meters on the earth have been printed with the footprints of climbers. Although Kawalpo is only 6740 meters above sea level, it is the Mount Everest that has not been reached to the top so far, and it is also the first mountain in the world that is forbidden to climb because of cultural protection.

Kawakarpo angular, leaning against the sky, looking forward to their own success, in the sunshine, aloof and pure, extraordinary momentum.

In the hearts of Tibetans, Kawagebo is the residence of the gods, and we don't want human beings to get their hands on its sacredness. The local people think that everything in their life is given by the holy mountain. The pasture on the mountain fattens the cattle and sheep, and every drop of water they drink comes from the melting snow water on the mountain. If you don't respect the holy mountain, disaster will come.

Rizhao Jinshan is a beautiful natural wonder, which can only be seen at a specific time and place. Generally, this kind of landscape takes place in the early morning or evening. When the sun shines directly on the top of the mountain through the obstacles in front, there will be a spectacular scene of Rizhao Jinshan.

Rizhao Jinshan is more susceptible to the influence of climate, so it is not easy to see the scene of Rizhao Jinshan. Some travelers didn't even see this scene several times. People who have seen this scene say that it is an unforgettable memory. When I saw Rizhao Jinshan, the excitement and shock were indescribable. Nature is ingenious, and everything is eclipsed in an instant.

This trip will also take you to Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest canyons in the world. The Jinsha River, which runs through mountains and valleys, is surrounded by the pyramid-like sun cone peak, and draws a U-shaped bend smartly, which is the "Jinsha River Great Bend".

The theme is mainly religion, involving history, politics, economy, culture, folk customs, secular life, architecture, medicine, astronomy and other fields. Known as the "encyclopedia of Tibetan culture".

Traditionally, Thangka's painting pigments are taken from precious mineral gems such as gold, silver, pearls, agate, coral, turquoise, malachite, cinnabar and plants such as saffron, rhubarb and indigo to show their sacredness. These natural materials ensure that the painted Thangka is bright in color, and the color will not change even after hundreds of years.

Paint is harsh, and the painting process is complicated, including a whole set of processes such as pre-painting ceremony, canvas making, composition drafting, coloring and dyeing, hook line setting, gold painting and silver painting, eye opening, splicing and mounting. So complicated, it is no wonder that authentic Thangka is expensive and even has no market.
