Travel notes of Bipenggou

Water and sky merge into one color/water and sky merge into one color (referring to a vast body of water)

It takes more than four hours to drive from Chengdu to Bipenggou. The road winds at the foot of the mountain, and the road surface is rugged. After Yingxiu and Wenchuan, I arrived in Lixian County. The distance of 2 14 km allows people to cross the world of ice and snow from the Spring Flower Market.

Put on thick winter clothes and get off. The scenery in front of us is beautiful and bright. Clear water reflects the blue sky, and white clouds are like snow on the top of the mountain. Real snow, in the direct sunlight, is dazzling and distorted.

The air is cold and clean, the wind is strong and powerful, and the whistle fills my ears. But when you turn your back to the wind and arrange your hair, the world is silent, as if in a dream.

ticket office

Buy a ticket at the entrance, take the scenic bus and experience the legendary three bends, nine turns and eighteen turns. Fasten your seat belt and grab the handrail. From the foot of the mountain, I will go straight for a while without warning. When the front of the car swings and the rear of the car swings, people shake like they are in a sieve. After climbing a steep slope, people leaned back and stood upside down by gravity.

There were no screams of panic in the car. Gradually, the car climbed higher and higher, and the scenery outside the window attracted people's attention. What comes out of the mouth is involuntary praise.

The sky seems within reach. Blue, white and green are natural, blending together softly and boundless. Pure, natural, clean, no sense of disobedience.

The sky is within reach.

The elevation of Bipenggou is not too high, about 2800 to 5000 meters. The bus stopped at the first scenic spot, Longwanghai. We got off the bus and a pool of clear water appeared in front of us. The vegetation on the mountain is not dense, and the ravines are all white snow. A long ridge of ice hangs in the ravine, like a sharp bayonet, inserted into the heart of the earth.

Two twin paintings appeared in front of us, with the horizontal plane as the dividing line. Above is freehand brushwork landscape painting, below is ink painting. The thick snow on the ground was trampled on porcelain and turned into brown ice. Under the scorching sun, it slowly melts into water and seeps into the soil.

We walked up the mountain and enjoyed the scenery along the way. In places with deep snow, have snowball fights and sledge with children. My hands are red with cold, but it doesn't affect the fun at all.

Play with snow

A couple embraced in the depths of the forest. What a wonderful mood. Blue sky, white clouds and snowy areas witnessed their love, so hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, go to old age together.

Two little beauties are taking selfies by the roadside. The beautiful snow scene, plus a handsome young face, is perfect. A big German shepherd also accompanied his master on the mountain, sticking out his tongue and panting.

Other than that, the valley is quiet. Birds have a long aftertaste. A pavilion, a small bridge, a piece of dead wood, several lines of footprints.

The higher you go, the higher the altitude, and the thinner the air. I began to have a slight altitude sickness: headache. The sun is scorching and the ultraviolet rays are strong.

We followed the footsteps of snow all the way to the second scenic spot on the mountainside-Namu Lake Hotel. It is no longer broken snow, but pieces of accumulation. Skiing can be done in ski resorts. There stands a large snow sculpture in the square.

Ocean of snow

Due to time and slight altitude sickness, we didn't reach the top again. In the ice and snow, I didn't expect there to be a hot spring next to it, and the spring water was steaming. Take off your socks and put your tired feet in the water, and soon your skin will turn red. Experience real ice and fire in the bright sunshine.

Feet gently sway in the water, slowly, the pores of the whole body are wide open and sweat comes out on its own. The whole body is transparent and there is no tiredness. With his back to the sun, he looked around, and the clouds on the top of the mountain flew like feet. I looked around after its footprints and got lost in a piece of Xue Hai. The line of sight is getting shorter and shorter, and it is getting blurred.

Slow down and rub your eyes. Opposite an old couple in their 70 s, while soaking their feet, they talked intimately. Silver hair and wrinkled face. People think that if you have Qi Mei's love, aging will not be so terrible.

Direct sunlight

We took the last sightseeing bus down the mountain. Looking back from the window glass, I am full of nostalgia. The snow-capped mountains have regressed bit by bit, and have been out of my sight and beyond my dreams.

The novelty of coming here was replaced by reluctance to leave. I'm just a passer-by in the snowy mountain, and I can't take away a grain of snow and a cloud. And messy footsteps will not leave a trace on the snow-capped mountains. There are also zero-pollution snow-capped mountains, such a pure land that I yearn for and send every day. Its purity makes people quiet and think deeply. It allows people to live in front of the simplest nature, return to nature and regain their confidence.

This is the meaning of travel. After bidding farewell to Bipenggou, I will start the next, next journey.
