Siguniang Mountain Charm Impression

Siguniang Mountain is located in Xiaojin County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in the western mountainous area of Sichuan Province. Its main peak is 6250 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Qionglai Mountains. It is known as "the Alps in the East" and "the Queen of Shushan". I knew it like the back of my hand before I went to Siguniang Mountain. A friend in Chengdu said that he had stayed in Sichuan for more than 20 years, only heard that it was beautiful, but he had never been there. Living in the plain since childhood, I don't know what a real mountain is. With such curiosity and yearning, we set out from Chengdu to visit Siguniang Mountain.

After the bus entered Wolong Giant Panda Reserve, it began to rain in Mao Mao, and the scenery along the way was picturesque. However, when I saw the mountain, I saw all the lush and flowing streams, like the sound of nature, setting off the silence of the mountain. The mountain road is still winding, and the group deeply understands the meaning of what the ancients said: "It is difficult to climb the sky on the road of Wan Li". Cars drive around the mountain, and the altitude is getting higher and higher. Occasionally, between the two peaks, you can see the corner of Siguniang Mountain covered with snow. The driver is a Tibetan in his thirties. He hummed a tune all the way, without any fatigue or tension. We were all curious, so we talked with him. He said that tourists with altitude sickness are different from us. As soon as he entered the mountainous area, he felt comfortable all over, but when he arrived in the city, he was dizzy and had an "urban reaction." I can't help laughing. I think about my daily "modern" life. This mountain is simply a fairyland on earth.

After crossing Balang Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,400 meters, enter Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area in the evening. There are Tibetan, Qiang, Hui, Han and Yi nationalities living in the scenic spot. As some scenic spots are still under development, we mainly visit Shuangqiaogou and Changping Valley.

In fact, "ditch" is a Tibetan name, which refers to the relatively flat terrain between two mountains, generally including streams, meadows and virgin forests. We changed the eco-car in the scenic spot and headed for Shuangqiaogou. Along the way, it passes through the swamp and the world's rare seabuckthorn forest known as the "king of vitamin C", followed by the dead tree beach. Those withered trees, leaving only trunks and branches, still stand in streams and shallows, even in dry sand, forming a wonderful life state and landscape. I don't know if they are still alive, but I believe they are, because they have stood for so long and withered, showing another color of life. Deep in the ditch is a meadow where sheep and lovely Tibetan shepherds play. There are black spots moving in the distance. Wow, it's a yak! Put on bright and beautiful Tibetan clothes and take photos with the little shepherd boy; Ride on the yak of Tibetan aunt and feel the strength and solidity of yak in snowy plateau.

After eating two delicious kebabs, we quickly got on the bus and went to the innermost redwood forest in Shuangqiaogou to see the glaciers. The beautiful Tibetan guide introduced her hometown to us in the car, and all the people in the car were excited: a snow-white glacier hung on the top of the mountain not far away. It is said that this is a small glacier, and you can see a bigger glacier when you go to Changpinggu tomorrow. At the foot of the glacier, there is a shrub called Sequoia, which is unique to the plateau. Its leaves are very small, as big as a fingernail, tender yellow, but full of red flowers, adding a bit of agility and femininity to this majestic mountain.

Early the next morning, we set out for Changping Valley. It seems that the weather takes special care of us. It snowed heavily last night. Today, the sky is clear in Wan Li, and the temperature is rising. Because it is dark and humid all the year round and the roads are muddy, there is no way to go here, only the oldest "horse path". Each of us found a horse to ride and followed the groom into the ditch. The groom said that we were lucky and had a good day today, because there were only two or three sunny days in the ditch a month.

Because of the sunny weather, the scenery in the ditch is more beautiful. The sunlight in the forest is blocked by trees, forming an overlap of light and shadow. In addition, the forests are dense, the grass is lush, and the streams are clear and flowing, as if they were in ancient times. I am glad to see everything around me and feel it greedily with all my senses. This is a gift from nature! "Ma Dao" rises slowly, and some sections are very narrow and steep, which can be said to be "one person defends it, and ten thousand people can't force it"! I can only hold the reins tightly and pray that the horse Xiaoqing will obey. Through the virgin forest, through the "red stone array" covered with red stones, across a rushing stream, at noon, we arrived at a small meadow, where we dismounted and stopped. This is an open place, surrounded by majestic peaks. The mountain facing the sun is lush, pointing to the blue sky. The mountains on the dark side are magnificent, blocking the sun and standing like giants. Looking at him, I can't help but respect.

After a nap, "Xiaoqing" walked briskly and sometimes ran, so I had to lie on her body to avoid being scratched by branches. After this forest, we finally reached the beautiful prairie. On the prairie, I saw colorful glacier waterfalls, clear and gentle streams, green carpet-like meadows, and yaks sitting leisurely on the grass. The wind blows, and snow-covered waterfalls and glaciers are reflected in the flowers, shining with silver light. ...

For the first time, I was full of respect and awe for the mountains. She is so mysterious and majestic, and people are so small and insignificant in front of her! She is sacred and pure, with the keen and omniscient wisdom of the gods, sometimes smiling and sometimes sighing ... I can't help being humble and intoxicated. ...

"Read thousands of books, go to Wan Li Road", but what is written in the book can only be approached by imagination. When I finally came to this mountain like a dream, the impact was shocking. It turns out that this is the mountain, just like a newborn child, everything is novel, and everything should be amazing! This time, I really understood Tao Yuanming's realm of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely"! And the ancient idea of "harmony between man and nature" can be found here. Herdsmen have lived on this mountain for generations, and they regard Siguniang Mountain as a "holy mountain". There are not only inexhaustible natural resources, but also the aura and blessing of God. However, rare things often leave the perspective of ordinary people. It takes extraordinary courage and perseverance to touch and own her. Most successful lives are like this!

The exercise in Siguniang Mountain gave me a new understanding of the meaning of life. The complaints and dissatisfaction we have had are actually so insignificant, because life is too great and precious. We should not waste our time sighing and doing nothing, and we should not blindly miss the beauty that nature has given us. Perhaps, with a grateful heart, to discover beauty; Be a modest person; With the fearless development of the wise, this is a wonderful life!
