A trip to the northwest of China
? Have a holiday! I haven't been out of the house much since the epidemic in 2020, and an anxious heart always wants to go out for a walk. Plus my father's physical condition is temporarily stable, but I can't bear to think about working hard for my mother. After all, I pressed it. But as soon as my friends made an appointment, my desire was ignited again. The beautiful scenery in the northwest and the scenic spots I love are really like lovers I haven't seen for years, which involves my meeting with them. So there is this trip.
(1) Meet Zhuo'er Mountain.
? After crossing the West Qinling Mountains, the charm of the northwest began to appear: the mountains are undulating, there are no lush trees, there are no shallow grasslands, and there are no completely exposed ridges. The peaks are abrupt and steep, as steep as a knife, just like the elegance of a man in the northwest. The sky is high and the clouds are light, the blue sky is blue and the white clouds are blossoming. My heart is also dissolute.
In order to adapt to the plateau, we decided to go to Qilian prairie first. Passing by the gate source, rape blossoms are in full bloom. Rape flowers are not as high as Chengdu, and the color is darker and yellower, which is closer to gold. They are connected by a hundred miles, and the flower scenery is in harmony with the local blue sky and white clouds, high mountains and snowy peaks, unique houses, beekeepers and cows, changing into a unique and charming scenery. Pedestrians walking among flowers are better than heaven!
Qilian Mountain prairie didn't leave me much impression: the horses, cows, sheep and white yurts scattered on the same endless green grassland don't feel as soft as Hongyuan grassland, the grassland covered is shallow, and the wildflowers are monotonous and mostly white. Maybe we went to the wrong time and missed its most beautiful scenery.
? The signpost of Zhuo'er Mountain enters the A-IV scenic spot. Some people don't think so. What mountains are better than those in Sichuan! Friends say it's a fairyland in the hinterland of Qilian Mountain. Since we met, we might as well go and have a look, so we found Guo Yun Farm, a farm near Zhuo'er Mountain, on the Internet and went there early the next morning.
? Zhuo'er Mountain is really outstanding. Here? Danxia landform, green and continuous peaks, lined with Shenshan Xuefeng in the distance, soft and vigorous, thousands of miles of golden rape flowers and red Danxia landform on the hillside, gorgeous and dazzling! I understand why it is called "the beautiful rose queen", "Qilian Tianjing" and "Little Switzerland in the East".
The Zall Mountain in July is full of amorous feelings. Present the most poetic pastoral scenery in northwest China to tourists. Standing on the observation deck, the beautiful scenery of Qilian is like a natural synthetic oil painting hanging in front of you, which is dizzying and refreshing.
? Obviously, the beauty of Zhuo'er Mountain can't be recorded by a few photos under the lens. The fairyland on earth under the changing light and shadow is so beautiful, you just need to stand in front of it, from near to far, from far to near, through a gorgeous …
? Zhuo'er Mountain, who met by chance, looked at it for ten thousand years and stayed in my heart.
(2) Zhang Ye, I finally met you.
12 years, I saw Danxia in Guide, with steep red and yellow rock walls standing on both sides of the road. I heard that Danxia in Zhangye is more spectacular, and I am looking forward to seeing it.
? From Zhuo'er Mountain to Zhangye, it takes nearly five hours to get on the expressway. The weather is gloomy and the clouds are thick. Danxia, who has no color, has lost her soul. She is looking forward to solar energy breaking through the clouds. At about six o'clock, I arrived in Zhangye. Hey, the sun is shining. Everyone came to the party and bought tickets. With countless tourists coming from thousands of miles away to take the bus ferry, I finally saw the true meaning of Zhang Ye's Danxia: the setting sun shines, the cliffs are thousands of miles away, and the waters in Qian Shan all show the bright red-brown color of Danxia, which sets off my own god. It's really called "the color is like lotus, and it seems like dusk."
We take a single-cycle sightseeing bus to the west gate. There are four scenic spots in the park: colorful fairy terrace, colorful sea of clouds terrace, colorful splendid terrace and colorful Xiatai. Each scenic spot has built a large sightseeing platform.
For photographers, this is the time when we go in. Sunset falls on the hills in the east. The mountains are bright red, yellow and blue, and they shine brightly, but some of them are? The mountain is carrying the light, and what tourists can do at this time is to grab the position and take pictures. LaoLv also busy in wowing WWE, peer beauty busy dancing big red scarf. ...
? Yunhaitai has a wide view and can see the white mountains. As the viewing platform goes up, a big hill looks like a kind sleeping Buddha from a distance, and a big hillside below it is covered with round hills, much like a young monk who bows down. This is how monks worship Buddha.
When the sun shines on the top of the mountain in the distance, it is like the Buddhist world, radiant.
? The mountains in Jinxiu Terrace feel more beautiful and exquisite. The rocks are vertically stacked, and the red and yellow textures are rich and alternate, much like horses and chariots.
? Hongxiatai is the most magnificent existence of colorful Danxia, and the sky has turned dark. I want to enter the park for the second time tomorrow morning, and I'm going to reverse the car first.
It rains at night, and it may spread to see Danxia the next day, and all kinds of worries are in my heart. Fortunately, we spent the night in a hotel next to the west gate. It was sunny in the morning, and we quickly entered the garden, and went straight to Splendid Hua Ting and Hongxiatai. The morning light hits the colorful Danxia. I don't know how to describe it, but I know it is beautiful. It can be called colorful at this time. Can natural ingenuity be imagined by human beings?
Feast your eyes and see the gorgeous beauty of Danxia in the morning and evening, and we will go to the next scenic spot happily. ...
(3) Jiayuguan, let me relive history.
Jiayuguan, at the westernmost end of the Great Wall, is known as "the first male pass in the world" and is located in the middle of the narrowest valley 5 kilometers west of Jiayuguan City, Gansu Province. The walls on both sides of the city pass through the desert Gobi, connecting the Great Wall of Montenegro in the north and the first pier in the world in the south. It is the westernmost fortress of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, which was once called the throat of Hexi in history. Because of its dangerous terrain and magnificent architecture, it was called "Silk Road" in ancient times.
Jiayuguan was founded in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1372). It consists of inner city, outer city, Luocheng, Wengcheng, moat and the Great Wall on the north and south wings, with a total length of about 60 kilometers. Towers, piers and forts are scattered all over the Great Wall, which consists of three lines of defense: inner city, outer city and moat, overlapping defense, forming a defense system of five miles, one long, ten miles, one pier, three miles, one fort and a hundred miles.
I really regret that I didn't study history well when I was a student, and I was vague and ambiguous about the concept of the Great Wall, so I had to search for information on the Internet. Walking on every ancient brick wall in Jiayuguan, I only feel that the heavy history makes people feel heavy. Every brick, tile and tower embodies the wisdom of the Chinese nation and the heart of Bing Gu in a bloody battlefield. Looking at this ancient castle, facing the vast Gobi in front, it is dark, and a tough Xiongnu ride, even if it breaks through the defense of the soldiers in front, into? It was also a narrow escape: riding a big horse and falling into an unfathomable closed door instantly must be very scared. Even if you bravely enter, you will weaken your strength layer by layer, straying into the high-wall urn, and you will definitely be pierced by soldiers on the high wall ... The design of each place is really ingenious and wonderful.
? After Jiayuguan, nearly six o'clock, we drove to the Great Wall of Montenegro. Ignorant, I thought the Great Wall was built on the ridge, hence the name. Lao Lu thought it was not connected with the Great Wall, so he built it as a hanging wall.
The staff who came to the Great Wall Scenic Area are about to leave work. Because they bought a package ticket to Jiayuguan, they quickly went in to see its true face: from a distance, the Great Wall fell from the mountain at a steep angle of 45 degrees, which looked like hanging upside down in the air, and the iron wall was suspended, blocking the stone Guan Xia, hence the name "Great Wall on the Wall". At sunset, several people dispersed. Compared with Jiayuguan, it lacks grandeur and grandeur, and seems to be integrated with desolate mountains, which has become a natural landscape for people to climb mountains and exercise in their leisure time. Just before we hurried back, several more people came.
The next morning, we went to the world's first pier-located 7 kilometers south of Jiayuguan, across the river from Qilian Xuefeng. It is the starting point of the first pier of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty. It is very old, weathered for many years, and now it is really a mound. Qiu Lai flows eastward quietly, and a deep moat lies quietly in front of the Great Wall. In front of us is the vast Gobi against the blue sky. Occasionally, the north wind blows, the skirts are flying, and the wind is whispering, as if horses and chariots are screaming ... I can't help lamenting the glorious ancient civilization.
? If I could do it all over again, I would definitely study history. People who learn history well will visit famous mountains and rivers and places of interest.
(4) Crescent Moon Spring and Famous Mountain Sand
When you go to Dunhuang, you always think of Crescent Moon Spring. I heard that if I don't go, I'll never see you again.
With longing for it, take the vendors through a few miles of tree-lined paths, and the scenic spot will stand in front of you. I bought a ticket to enter the house. Yellow sand, sand dunes and yellow eyes are soft when I step on the sand, and the deeper I sink with a little effort. It's like people buying shoe covers, regardless of the willy-nilly, muddling along. There are camels next to you, and you can ride along the long camel team. But it was really difficult to walk, so I bought a sightseeing ticket and went to Crescent Spring. Crescent Moon Spring is just around the corner. Under the towering Huangsha Mountain, there is a clear spring. Spring water, like other springs, has trees, reeds and pavilions. The blue sky and white clouds are quiet and elegant against the yellow sand, just like a refined girl. Crowds of tourists swim by the lake and on the beach, wearing colorful clothes and dancing around scarves. It is very noisy, but it can't infect the crescent moon spring. It always keeps that peace and quiet. How indifferent, fresh and refined it is!
? Lao Lu and I took pictures of it from all angles: close-up and distant view, and panoramic view from the side. It's so beautiful. I think it's good to take pictures casually if I can't.
? In the evening, we are listening to Reggae Energy: ham sausage 5 yuan, frozen watermelon 15 yuan, which is really expensive! Then climb up Mingsha Mountain step by step along the ladder and people. The crescent moon spring in Mingsha Mountain in the sunset is so beautiful that everyone wants to see its peerless beauty. People near the top of the mountain stop from time to time to look around and enjoy taking pictures, causing eager people under the mountainside to shout. In this way, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain, which was already crowded with people! For the first time in my life, Lao Lu and I sat on the mountain and watched the sunset.
Half of the face of the sunset falls on the hill, and the clouds around it are brilliant, and the afterglow is full of crescent springs, setting off the rosy hills. The afterglow capsized at the far end of the desert and flowed silently along the Gobi, somewhat tragic and lonely, just like ups and downs in thousands of years of history. I deeply realized the feeling of lonely smoke in the desert and falling yen in the long river ...
(5) Big star, Dunhuang
Speaking of Dunhuang, you will think of flying.
Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once praised the poem "Flying Immortals in Dunhuang": "Holding hibiscus in your hand, you can climb into space. The dress dragged the broadband and floated to the sky. "
It is described in the book as follows: Flying Anna is colorful, walking through the clouds of smallpox, and her posture is chic. Some people wear a double bun like a girl, some people wear a right-handed cassock like a monk, or hold flowers, or play the flute and drum, some people hold a flower tray for support, and some people bounce back to play the flute and sound, floating in the wind.
? However, this big star is really famous. Before departure, the internet said to book tickets one month in advance. Our itinerary is still uncertain. I heard that there are 6000 emergency tickets every day, which should be no problem. I don't think I've had a good time these two days, and I forgot to book tickets. Zhang Ye was dumbfounded when he watched it online at night-we couldn't buy an emergency ticket the next day according to our itinerary! The so-called emergency ticket can only see four caves. Everyone counts, since we are here, four holes are four holes. I was afraid that nothing would happen again, so I decided to find some scenic spots around to play until the third day.
? After many hardships, I finally met this big star: I walked two or three miles in the sightseeing lane under the scorching sun, and lined up with worshippers for nearly two hours to walk in. Four caves! Line up in front of a cave, listen to the announcer's megaphone for three or four times, and then follow the crowd into the cave to browse for one minute. Four caves! I only remember Maitreya Buddha and the ninth floor, but I can't even remember the explanations such as announcer's endorsement. I just think that every cave is tall and colorful, with more delicate and full figures and more beautiful and smooth lines, which is really exquisite and magnificent.
I'm not done yet? It's over, but I haven't seen Tian Fei! This is the end, just a symbolic card in the Mogao grottoes. I can't help but think of its sister cave-Yulin Cave, because its stay in Mogao Grottoes was discovered the day before. Although it is remote and quiet, it is not as gorgeous as the Mogao Grottoes, but it is close to the people. 40 yuan can see the nine caves, stay in the caves and listen to the explanations given by the lecturers in simple terms, or ask the lecturers to have in-depth exchanges. If time permits, you can queue up for another half hour to enter the park and enter a different cave. Yulin Cave also has exquisite murals, which are very well preserved. To this day, many murals are still brightly colored. The Xixia murals in Yulin Cave are rich and colorful, which makes up for the shortage of Mogao Grottoes.
? On the other hand, we outsiders are very busy and really don't understand art, culture, history and Buddhism.
Look at the temples in the south and the caves in the north. ? Meeting Yulin Grottoes is also a great blessing of this trip. Let flying become my eternal yearning!
On the way to the next stop after visiting Dunhuang, thick yellowish clouds rolled up on the horizon, and Lao Lu exclaimed the sandstorm! Blink of an eye, sweeping the whole sky. The road ahead of us is long, but fortunately, we arrived at the farm where we had lunch last night. Just arrived in the yard, it was already dark, like night! Not bad. It lasted about ten minutes. However, the ground is covered with dust, and the sky is still blurred and gray. But we decided to go to the next stop, Alex. The first time I saw it with my own eyes, it became a journey scene! However, I feel the power of sandstorm more!
(6) Yuhu, see you next time.
The Emerald Lake in Dachaidan was originally the place where we punched in today. Unfortunately, due to yesterday's rainstorm, the road was blocked and impassable. The lost emotions have not been dispelled. The small Chaidan Lake not far away surprised us: the blue was pure, deep and quiet. In the distance, the snowy peaks in Qaidam stand between heaven and earth, adding an ethereal feeling.
? Delingha Su Hu was also an accident. Because I couldn't go to Emerald Lake, I thought of Su Hu mentioned by my cousin. When I checked, it was on our way forward, but the sky around us was covered with dark clouds. Only the sky above us is illuminated by a piece of auspicious clouds. Driven by my playful heart, I crossed several kilometers of wetland and came to two kilometers by the lake. I was stopped by the administrator. I finally slipped in from the side and witnessed its true content: a typical inland saltwater lake (accessible) is sunny, and the original gray-blue lake is shining and blue is pure. According to the light of the lake, the waves are blown by the wind and sparkling. It's too beautiful to say. Only the four of us have such beautiful scenery. We enjoyed booking a hotel, and then several people came in. There was a dark cloud on the horizon. As soon as everyone reluctantly left, the rain came down.
The rain is getting smaller and smaller, and a double rainbow appears in front of us, hanging on both sides, slowly and completely, and everyone screams constantly!
? What kind of fate is this? Really unforgettable!
? (7) The mirror of the sky-Chaka Salt Lake
It rained heavily the night before I went to the mirror of the sky, until eight or nine o'clock the next morning, and occasionally it thundered. Everyone is in a gloomy mood and lives in a lakeside farm to rest. The honest boss said that it was clear when the thunder rang, but it was boring after a long time. Comfort us. The weather will clear up soon. It also tells us that there are two scenic spots in the scenic spot, and there is a new Sky One outside the mirror of the sky, and the landscape is similar. The rain has gradually stopped and the sun is shining! We packed our bags and drove to Chaka Salt Lake, one of the "four scenic spots" in Qinghai. It was called "the mirror of the sky" by travelers and "55 places that must be visited in a lifetime" by National Tourism Geography magazine. We decided not to change our original intention and went to the famous mirror of the sky.
Mo Daojun left early, and there were more early pedestrians. The parking lot in the scenic spot is crowded and troublesome. Also said that the advantage is to get the moon first! Many people wait in the rain early in the morning. It took us a turn to park our car in a remote place.
? It's also three or four miles by sightseeing bus, in the park? A large white salt lake was blocked by several adjacent salt lake circles. There is an observation deck for everyone to enjoy shooting, and several large salt sculptures are dotted in it. A small sightseeing train winding between them has set off with passengers. Deep is where you can get into the water. Many people couldn't help it anymore, shaking red scarves and skirts scattered around the railing to celebrate.
Every salt lake has vast waters and sunshine? Silver waves sparkled in the breeze. White salt crystals are printed with blue sky and white clouds, and Cangshan Snow Mountain in the distance is picturesque. Through the clear lake, you can see different shapes and lifelike white salt flowers. The lake is a mirror image of the sky, blue and white intertwined like a dream.
Lao Lu and I rented rain boots and couldn't wait to get down to the lake. The water didn't reach our calves, and there were waves in crowded places. We try to go to places where there are few people, and the ripples under the lens are surging, which always destroys the mirror image, so we stand quietly in the water and wait for the windless Chaka Salt Lake. The shallow white lake is printed with blue sky and white clouds. This kind of scenery is only a moment, and it is difficult to follow man in the mirror. Unfortunately, at noon, the sun never hides in the clouds, and there are shadows in the photos. However, such a salt lake is beautiful. Such a scene seems to come from one's own dreams, so-called poems, so-called distant places. It really deserves the reputation of "the mirror of the sky in China".
So I played from ten o'clock in the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon before turning around and leaving.
(8) Walking around Qinghai Lake
This is the last day of our great ring road!
We have all been to Qinghai Lake except Lao Lu. Although it was not as shocking as watching Qinghai Lake with Lao Lu for the first time, we also lamented the beauty of Qinghai Lake from time to time. The breeze is not dry, the sunshine is just right, the blue sea water extends to the horizon, and the water and sky are the same. When we walked around the lake from the west, the first thing we saw was a large green alpine pasture with colorful wild flowers, such as silk, and scattered cattle and sheep. Slowly, I saw thousands of acres of rape flowers blooming around the lake, and the blue periphery with rippling blue waves was inlaid with golden yellow, half yellow and half blue. Very gorgeous. The herdsmen gave money for the enclosure, and we took another photo. I don't want to meet Nanjing people here. Recently, the epidemic situation is serious, I feel alert and don't like others. I don't want others to dislike us in the future.
? I didn't see the butter sculpture in Ta 'er Temple last time. This is? I spent another time revisiting 70 yuan with them. As usual, the temple was crowded with tourists, and I finally saw the butter sculpture. There were dozens or even hundreds of Chinese characters on the flower stand more than ten meters high. Bodhisattva King Kong sits serenely, flying fairy is graceful, flowers, birds, insects and fish are lifelike, the figures are both divine and tangible, the pavilions are magnificent, the whole picture is complex but not chaotic, colorful and breathtaking, and the Buddhism is even more strict.
? It is said that making butter sculpture is a "cruel" creative process. Because ghee melts when heated, and the monk's hands are warm, ghee melts when it touches and holds ghee paste. Therefore, when artistic monks make butter sculptures, they must first solve the problem of hand temperature. Every year 165438+ October and 65438+ February are the coldest months on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The monks picked up a load of cold snow water, and then slowly put their hands into the cold water, giving off cold light. When a warm hand comes into contact with cold water at zero degree, all organs of the human body are forced to be surrounded by cold, constantly shaking, and the skin becomes red, purple and white. At this time, the minds of artistic monks are more sober and calm because of the infiltration of ice water. They should lower the temperature of their arms, palms, fingers and even the whole body as soon as possible until the temperature is the same as that of ice water-zero! Only in this way can their hands be in close contact with ghee, and they can carve the highly soluble ghee into vivid shapes. Butter sculpture is the Buddhist world in the eyes of monks, and it is made up of life. How much perseverance and strong spiritual desire are needed to support it!
Near two o'clock, we drove to Qutan Temple. Old Keke Road chanted "Little Forbidden City" in Qinghai, and there was a plaque given by Zhu Yuanzhang. According to legend, Emperor Wen Jian once became a monk here, which is mysterious and full of curiosity.
After passing a section of expressway and entering steep potholes and rugged mountain roads, we are all worried. Is this deep mountain temple worth going to?
Finally! Gotama flows endlessly, next to the newly-built parking lot, and then Qutan Temple comes into view: after more than 600 years of wind and rain, an old Lama has received the ticket to 50 yuan. Park is a typical building complex in Ming Dynasty, with glazed tiles, cornices and walls, and the central axis is symmetrical. Combined with Tibetan Buddhism, white pagoda decoration and mural stone carving are well preserved, but unfortunately I can't understand them. There are craftsmen blocking repairs everywhere in the park. It should be open to the outside world in the near future! I lamented that Emperor Wen Jian really had the ability to choose such a remote and secluded place.
? Dark clouds floated across the horizon again, and it was getting late. We drove back.
End of movement
? The trip to Qutan Temple marks the basic end of our Great Ring Road. Starting from 19, the whole journey takes 10 days, and the journey is 5000 kilometers from Chengdu-Yang-Lanzhou-Xining. Along the way, there are grasslands, sand dunes, Gobi, lakes, sunshine, rain, dust and boundless scenery. In the meantime, there are scenic spots that arrive as scheduled, unexpected small scenery on the road, and regrets that God has not done something beautiful because of insufficient preparation. ...
? However, this is a trip! The road ahead is uncertain, it is impossible to foresee everything!
?
? With the epidemic situation in Nanjing and Zhangjiajie, people who are resistant to high temperature and dense wear masks at any time, listening to the horns of scenic spots, and always beware of people in epidemic areas. We don't want to be the last infected person, and everyone can't help but feel the crisis. In the information age, we may have to face the situation that we can't live in one store tonight. We want to go back from Gannan and Hongyuan for two or three days, but there is a video in the group saying that Wenchuan has stopped Chengdu people from entering and leaving. When we go, we have to hold the nucleic acid or persuade them to come back. After all, we decided to go back from Longnan sheep, and now we are on our way. It's already five o'clock when I come back from Qutan Temple. Two drivers 10 rushed to Xigu, Lanzhou, and Qinghai epidemic prevention department called to greet us along the way. I stayed by the highway that night, and heavy trucks kept coming at night, and I was often awakened in the middle of the night. The rumbling roar made the house shake slightly, and I mistakenly thought that an earthquake was coming. So I arrived at the next morning in a state of half dream and half awake, set out at 6: 30, and drove for 12 hours at 8: 00 in the evening, and finally got home. My heart is finally at ease, and I am close to danger! Great escape.
? The trip is over! It has become another beautiful memory, the birds spreading their wings, the charming fragrance of flowers, the warmth encountered in the journey, and the four seasons of mountains and rivers. ...
? Like to travel, travel is a life attitude, a release of body and mind, a reward for yourself, a poem, a distance between an ordinary and repeated life and oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea!
Travel seems to give you a deep breath, and it seems to inspire you to embrace the unknown world boldly, let you fly over the blue sky, embrace the warm island, overlook the towering mountains, cross the rushing waves and look up at the flying eagle. ...
Pack up your mood, calmly return to the life of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar pots and pans, wait for the next reward, and prepare to start again next time!
