It's amazing, it's spectacular! Travel Notes on Hiking in Micangshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area in Wangcang

I happened to meet Micang Mountain Grand Canyon a few days ago, because of the red leaves of Micang Mountain. A teacher in the literature group vividly described the grand occasion of Micang Mountain with red leaves like fire and tourists like weaving, which made people fascinated. Because of my work, I didn't have a chance to experience it on the spot until a few days later. Who knows that I just arrived at the foot of Wuyun Mountain in Guohua, only to know that most of the red leaves have withered, and there is no glory in its heyday, so I can only wait until next year. Enthusiastic locals enthusiastically introduced me to Micangshan Grand Canyon.

Against the morning breeze of the morning sun, I walked for more than ten kilometers and reached the entrance of Micangshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area. The car stopped at the parking lot of Cizhuba Service Center and walked into Micangshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area. Crossing the wind and rain covered bridge, more than 200 meters up is the first scenic spot "Cliff Shell Plank Road". The cliff shell is more than 20 meters long, three or four meters wide and four or five meters high. The plank road is built next to the cliff, and visitors can reach the top of the cliff, which is very exciting. The cliff is smooth, and modern people carve Tang and Song poems on it. The font is fist-sized and there are many regular scripts. Powerful, clear and easy to distinguish, full of book spirit.

Over the cliff shell is the "fairy pool". The two mountains are opposite and the gorge opens a line. The water flow forms a shuttle-shaped pool here. The water in the pool is as clear as a mirror, sparkling under the sunshine, and the dark yellow and reddish leaves by the pool are surging happily, adding charm. The scenery is beautiful, but it always feels inferior to the fairy. It seems far-fetched to call it "Xianchi".

While wondering, the male tourist exclaimed and the female tourist hurried away. It turns out that there is a cave on the stone wall next to Xianchi, which is called "Shame Girl Cave". Looking at the shape of Xianchi again, I couldn't help laughing: "Xianchi is like this". Smiling, I passed Xianchi and stood on the sightseeing cable bridge. Looking back, the peaks and pavilions on both sides of Xianchi stand tall, and the ancient trees and vines are intertwined, like a fairy bathing in her hair. The name of Xianchi really lives up to its reputation and looks very similar.

Opposite the Tiesuo Bridge is Longtan Waterfall, with a small drop, which is divided into two roads by a big stone. As big as a folding fan, the water is swift and the water drops splash, which is called "like pearls of different sizes pouring into a plate of jade". The stream is as calm as an upside-down white line. Relative size, dynamic and static combination, equally divided. This is the state of dry season, and when there is more water, it may be another scene.

The most spectacular is the Longtan Waterfall above. The cliff of Longtan Waterfall is semi-circular and stands vertically, hundreds of meters high. You can't see its peak until you take off your hat and look at your sour neck. The waterfall comes out from the waist of the cliff without hanging, bumping or touching. For example, a column of silver fell from the sky and went straight to the bottom of the pool. Broken silver chips gushed out from the bottom of the pool and stirred up a pool of water flowers. In order to record this indescribable beauty, I took off my coat, rolled up my sleeves, learned to look like a professional photographer, or squatted or lay down, looking for the best position to take pictures. My "major" bumped into the lens of a foreign tourist and became friends by chance. He said that this was his second time here this year, and the last time he came here was in the rainy season. The Hidden Dragon Waterfall at that time was even more wonderful. The waterfall is crescent-shaped, uninterrupted, unbiased and scattered, falling as a whole, shaped like a giant sail and sounding like thunder. Water droplets splash for tens of meters, white fog rises, the sun shines obliquely, and a rainbow spans. That scene is like the Buddha's light in Emei.

Hand in hand, we climbed up the steps along the clean winding mountain road. Half an hour later, we arrived at the source of Longtan Waterfall. The nature of nature is always amazing. The cliffs of Longtan Waterfall are sharp as knives, but the riverbed at the source is flat as a rock. The clear river lies flat on the bed of volcanic rocks like a huge jasper. The trees on the mountain peak are embedded in this jasper, which is so quiet that people are moved. The noise and agitation in their hearts have been washed away, and they can't bear to break this primitive and solemn peace. After walking quietly for 50 meters, the mountain suddenly unfolded, and an inclined volcanic dam with a length of several hundred meters and a width of thirty or forty meters jumped into view. The eighteen ponds of Qianlong are arranged in the middle of the dam from bottom to top.

Hidden dragons and ten pools are different in shape, deep or shallow, big or small, connected or isolated, or completely exposed to the blue sky and white clouds, enjoying the embrace of the four seasons, or half hidden and half ashamed under the cliffs, maintaining mystery. The pool below is shallow and small, and the water is fast, bubbling and burning at the bottom of the pool. There are several pools in the middle, "She has a face hidden behind her guitar" and Shimada Hanzo, just between the cliff and the stone. The pool is connected at the bottom, and the water is dark green, not overflowing but not shocking, like a lady. Among them, there is a pool of strange stones, and the upper and lower layers decrease in turn. The front end is round and polygonal, and the top end is concave, forming a beast's horn. Rain accumulated in a pit, leaves were blown off by the wind, and the water was reddish. "Seen from one side of the mountain, the height is different." Tourists have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions. It is a metaphor that they try their best to achieve their intentions. The upper two pools are like replicas, and the big ones are similar in shape. Up and down, three short waterfalls are connected in series, such as Hadada on two jasper pots.

A middle-aged teacher-like man is explaining the geological wonders of the 18 Lakes in Longlong to the students according to the formation principle of tiankeng and karst caves. I can't agree with him. Because the rocks in Qianlong 18th are volcanic rocks, the main component of volcanic rocks is silicon dioxide, which is hard and abnormal and is not easy to be eroded by rain. Tiankeng and karst cave are limestone, mainly composed of calcium carbonate, which is easily eroded by rain. I am more inclined to believe that wonderful legend (although I know it is unscientific, I am still influenced by emotion)

Legend has it that a long time ago, there were two green dragons guarding this pure land in Cangwang Gorge above the eighteen ponds in Qianlong. One day, a green dragon suddenly had the idea of going out to have a look, so it stuck its head out among the rocks and left, leaving behind the wonders of the hidden dragon 18 pools. The other dragon wanted to go with it, but it was discovered by the gods who took care of them, so he put it in the first pool with Zhenlong Stone, which became today's incredible and wonderful landscape "Zhenlongtan".

Zhenlongshi is located in Longtan Town, the first of the 18 pools. It is gray and rectangular, and it is inserted obliquely in the pool. The pool is about two meters deep, and a huge dragon in the water is impressive. The dragon is round, more than a foot thick and about seven or eight meters long. The claws are clear and vivid, and the scales are like life. Its exquisiteness is amazing.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Eighteen Lakes in Qianlong, you can have a rest in the Woods next to longtan town. Most of the forests are tall and straight pine trees, and occasionally there are a few red leaves that have not yet fallen, which are stubborn and proud. There are several brightly colored hammocks hanging between the pine trees. Wandering leisurely in the hammock, remembering the beautiful scenery all the way, the sunlight falling from the rattan curtain of the leaves is colorful, just like magic.

After a short rest, move on and enjoy the fragrance of chestnut forest; The depth of shallow day; The beautiful wish of supporting the rock and the precipitousness of half a cliff came to the reception center of Micangshan Grand Canyon.

The entrance to the scenic spot, the open tourist evacuation square, the Chinese tourist service center, the spacious parking lot and the standard tourist toilet all make people feel amazing and warm. It turns out that this is the main entrance of Micangshan Grand Canyon Scenic Area.

Because there are many scenic spots along the way, lesbians in the same way walk slowly, and it takes more than two hours to walk through several major scenic spots.

When I bid farewell to Micangshan Grand Canyon, I was a little reluctant to part. The beauty of red leaves is short-lived, and the show of Micangshan Grand Canyon is eternal and agile. The magical hidden dragon 18 pools, the majestic Longtan Waterfall, the quiet Longtan Canyon and the lifelike starting rock are amazing and convincing. Just out of Cizhuba, the head of the great man between the two peaks came face to face, and the great man looked up at the sky slightly, which was magnificent. The domineering spirit of "a few romantic figures still look at the present" pervades the world.

Zhang Wenjing, a famous glacier geologist, once said, "It is best to travel around the world". If you want to go to Micangshan Grand Canyon, don't forget to call me. I am definitely a free and competent tour guide. Because accidental fate has become eternal, Micangshan Grand Canyon has been engraved in my heart, often in my dreams.
