Travel notes of Changtai drifting

In May, the river rose and I took part in Changtai rafting. Because it is a group, more than 30 rubber rafts appear and disappear in the river, crossing the gorge and jumping into the water, which is thrilling and spectacular.

The first time I participated in rafting, I was worried that I had no companions. A girl at the TV station said, let's go together. The girl is the host of the music channel, and her voice is as sweet and moving as light music.

The big banyan tree is intertwined and is a typical subtropical rainforest. At the starting point of drifting in Changtai River, tourists take a two-person raft or a three-person boat, all wearing life jackets and carefully fastening their seat belts. A little nervous in impatience.

Mayangxi originated in Dahushan Nature Reserve, which is quiet and clear. The veil-like fog pulls out white training lines on the river, which is as hazy as a fairy. Floating in the river, the virgin forests on both sides of the river are lush, or birds sing tactfully, insects sing in bursts, and occasionally mountain flowers are romantic and picturesque. The river is wide and the water is slow, just to enjoy the scenery slowly and chat gently. Music, literature, life, drunk for a while. This scene, this girl, this boat, is integrated, and from the shore, it is a scene.

Without time to enjoy the scenery on the shore, the river suddenly narrowed and turned left and right. Seen from a distance, it is like a dragon wrapped around a stone pillar. This is the first beach "Jiaotan Gorge" in the drifting of "32 Beach". We immediately reminded each other to hold on to the handrail of the raft, and before we were seated, the raft ran around and down the river. The big waves came, and the girl was yelling and soaking wet. The first level was close, we passed smoothly, and we smiled at each other.

Villagers on both sides of the strait have always relied on water to draft, and have had the habit of fishing, transporting and drifting by raft since ancient times. Nowadays, fishing boats, bamboo rafts and sand-washing iron boats can be seen occasionally in the river, such as abandoned ancient warships, which are dark in white fog, like an ink painting.

The rubber boat is on the river, drifting with the tide, the mountain moves, and the river is sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. The river is densely covered with canyons and beaches, and the strange stones are interesting. "Three Branches Port", "Jumping Sheep" and "Drumming Pond" passed by one by one. After several drifting experiences across the gorge and jumping on the beach, I got a little bolder and dared to sit by the boat. The wood pulp in my hand has also become comfortable. I dial it from left to right, and the sound of water gurgling and paddling. With the company of girls, I just want to meet big waves and rotten beaches.

I heard the river rushing like a drum, and the cliffs on both sides came at me, and the white waves were overwhelming and dangerous. It turned out that a stone dam was built in an unknown year, and the river gap was so big. I saw someone get off the boat and carefully use a rubber raft to cross the dam from the rocky beach. I don't know what to do. The raft has reached the dam, so I didn't take time to think. Before I came to my senses, a branch stabbed me in the face. Fortunately, I dodged in time, and there was no problem.

When crossing the beach, it is common for tourists to capsize and fall into the water, which is a mess. Just when I was happy, I saw several huge stones standing in the water and the river roared. I just felt that the rubber raft was hit from side to side and bumped badly. When a huge wave came, the boat capsized and fell into the water. The first idea is to get the girl out quickly. The lifeguard, who had been preparing for it, also jumped into the water, and finally blocked the boat on the rocks downstream, caught his breath and turned over to board. The girl was also pushed onto the boat by the lifeguard. She had already taken a few sips of water, and saw a Gu Song on the cliff on the left, with words on the stone wall on the right and a cable bridge hanging overhead, only to know that the place where she fell into the water was called "Dahecang".

When crossing the beach again, my heart fluttered, my hands trembled slightly, and I ate a pool of stagnant water. I dare not underestimate it any more. There are also several dangerous beaches such as Bailong Gorge, Guanyin Stone, Yanmitan and Dragon Sacrifice Stone. People in the water can't help themselves. They can only surf in the waves, swim in the canyons and go with the flow.

Thanks to this girl's company, I feel that there are only two men and two women in this world, and the world is chaotic. This is Noah's Ark. I just want to drift with this ark, east and west, north and south, forever.

There are tall buildings and bridges in the distance, and we know that we have reached the shore. Go ashore, take a hot spring bath, eat a stream fish, and then go their separate ways. A period of wandering, all kinds of tastes have been experienced. Think about it, life is just like this.

Sweet punishment

The happiest abuse in the world is being tortured by the person you love.

The sweetest punishment on earth is being dragged down by lakes and mountains.

Wandering in Mayang River in Changtai, mountains are swaying, trees are dancing, poems are rippling and people are drifting.

The boat is the lover's arms, moist and warm.

The future turmoil is only for the future journey.

Sparkling peace is not the end of love, but the peace I miss.

Beyond my eyes wet with water, I seem to be able to peep into heaven. The color of the kingdom that won't fade at all is my favorite skin color on my lover.

Strange rocks are the edges and corners embraced by lovers, even if they know that they may be hurt, they will go without hesitation.

I feel the warmth of my lover through the coolness of the rain, and I am dizzy and dazed because of this wonderful relationship.

Enjoy the fatigue caused by the journey as religiously as religion, and appreciate the torture given by your lover as drug poisoning.

My heart is full of you, just like this boat full of water, immersed in unspeakable happiness and bearing the danger of sinking into the abyss.

I just don't know how to express it, just like I don't know how to pour water out of a boat. I scoop out a strong feeling of missing you, but the tide of loving you is surging, and I can only be attacked safely, quietly and contentedly.

This infatuation really exists in the world. You don't have to depend on each other closely, but you can stay together in the wind and rain.

My body is just my cover. In fact, my soul is attached to you and belongs to you only. Nobody is arguing with you. Just like the oblique wind permeates your skin after rain, it belongs to you only.

I know where to go, so I can hold the oars tightly in the storm.

I can sail to the other side regardless of the wind and waves. I can love you more regardless of the moral norms in the world. I just treat my feelings honestly, as honest as the rocks of a stranded ship.

I clearly remember the smell of Mayangxi on my body. I can recognize you in the crowd as soon as I smell you. It was the smell of ripe nectar, and the smell of night wind surrounded me strongly.

There are pearls in the sea, stars in the sky, my heart, my heart and love in my heart.

Combat experience

On September 2, 20 13, a group of urban men and women in Xiamen got on the bus bound for Changtai and joined hands with friends in Shantou to have a warm and romantic party trip between Xiamen and Shantou.

An hour's drive to Changtai. Changtai, adjacent to Xiamen, has high mountains and dense forests, and is rich in water resources. Mayangxi, known as "the first drifting in Fujian", drifts here. After a short rest, we will start the first highlight of today's romantic trip-drifting!

My girlfriend Reiko Kobayakawa and I came to Changtai for the first time, and we are about to face the thrill of drifting, which is both uneasy and expectant.

Like a waterfall splashing down a stream.

The hotel is about 10 minutes' drive from the drifting place. In the car, the safety commentator told us that the passionate drifting of Mayangxi in Changtai is about 8 kilometers, passing through more than 70 watersheds and more than 60 bends, with a drop of 62 meters between upstream and downstream. As soon as I got off the bus, I pulled Reiko Kobayakawa and rushed to the starting point of drifting. Everyone puts on life jackets and helmets, ready to fight against nature. After listening to the staff explain the matters needing attention of rafting, everyone worked in pairs, dragging kayaks and holding paddles, ready to challenge this 8-kilometer passionate drifting.

After disembarking, we walked down a one-meter-high sink under the guidance of the boat guard. Before I could react, our kayak splashed down in the stream like a waterfall. What a big spray. I'll give you a scare first. Our kayak is full of water. "Ha ha! What a nice bathtub! " I have no time to think about it. The descending beach is just ahead. We rushed to the rapids along the swift current, and the bow of the boat tilted down, falling and falling, splashing snow-like waves. I couldn't help laughing when I saw Reiko Kobayakawa clinging to the ropes of the canoe. The rapids are full of rocks and eddies, kayaks sway from side to side, and the waves rise again and again. In this way, they crossed several falling areas. We finally stopped on a beach, went ashore, emptied the kayak and got into the water again. It took us a long time to board the channel again without the guidance of the boat guards and the reefs everywhere.

I was washed away, and Reiko Kobayakawa was still on the rocks.

After a brief calm, the river in front of us gradually narrowed, and one by one dangerous beach came on. This time, we are not as smooth as before. The raft was washed off the channel by the current and ran aground on the reef. No matter how you use the paddle, it is useless. The current is too fast to return to the original course, so we have to rush out of the reef and turn from the tributary to the mainstream channel. I'm thinking about how to get rid of the reef. Reiko Kobayakawa, who can't swim, climbed down the kayak and prepared to push it out of the reef. I quickly got up and pulled her, but it was too late. At that time, the kayak lost its load and the hull floated. The swift current immediately washed me and the raft downstream. In an instant, my Ling He was a few meters away from me, and the raft continued to rush forward, too fast, and I was left behind trying to catch the stone next to me.

Rushing down 100 meters, I finally caught a long reed pole on the shore in a slow-flowing river. After stopping, I watched the kayak pass by me and thought that Zi Ling was still on the reef. I'll get into the water at once and push the kayak upstream. Although the water is not deep, the water carries underwater gravel, which makes every step so difficult for me. After pushing a few tens of meters, I saw the water in the upper reaches rushing down. When I didn't know how to move forward, Reiko Kobayakawa had boarded my colleague Xiao Ye's raft and stumbled down.

The reunion of the two is particularly gratifying. I was relieved to see that Reiko Kobayakawa was safe. I'll get ready, get close to the raft in Xiao Ye and take Reiko Kobayakawa with me. What a close call!

After the storm, it was a smooth road.

After the thrilling journey just now, although my son Ling He was a little tired, the joy of "reunion" still permeated my face. On the way, the team members helped each other, and Xiao Huang and his wife capsized because they didn't control their center of gravity. Huang Xiao first put his wife, who is not good at water, on the boat, but she stayed on the shore because the current was too fast to catch the boat. Xiao You, a member of the team, and his companions immediately rowed a kayak and sent Xiao Huang to his wife. Because of my experience just now, my son Ling He not only overcame the dangerous beach, but also helped several team members out of the predicament.

The snow waves in Bi Tao calmed down, and after the stormy waves, a smooth road appeared. Finally, the 800-meter-long still water area greeted us gently. All kinds of rocks on the bank of the stream suddenly go away, and there are quiet bamboo forests on both sides. An oval kayak is full of friendship and pride, drifting slowly. The group members greeted each other and excitedly told about the adventure and happiness just now.

Drifting along the river is thrilling, washing away the dust and forgetting the honor and disgrace. It is not only heroic to paddle bravely, but also exciting to race boats. This is a near miss voyage, the condensation of passionate years.
