A family of three living at an altitude of 4,000 meters seems to be living a worldly life, but you know the pain.

With the development of science and technology and the progress of human civilization, people's lives have become more and more intelligent. However, faced with such a life, many people have begun to yearn for a return to the primitive life. Way. After living in the complicated city for a long time, I yearn for the peaceful life in a paradise. Seeing the photo in front of me, I think it is a place that many people dream of living in: a wooden house, a herd of cattle and sheep, surrounded by mountains, lush trees, a creek passing around the house, and the blue sky in the distance And the mountains covered with snow are the best background. This is not a painting, this is a photo I took live in Sichuan. However, is it really as perfect as you imagined?

Han Can Yi Ye was photographed in Aba Prefecture, Sichuan.

It is undeniable that when I first saw this place, I also thought it was picturesque, and even thought its scenery surpassed the world-famous Alps. However, when I say that this place is 4,000 meters above sea level, I think everyone will have a feeling of thin air and even altitude sickness.

This is Mount Siguniang, located in Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It belongs to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Mountains, with a maximum altitude of more than 6,000 meters. The majestic and handsome Siguniang Mountains, with its uncanny landforms and rich and unique natural landscapes, are called the "Holy Mountains of the East" by the locals. The place I came to on this trip is a scenic spot called Shuangqiaogou in Siguniang Mountain, with a total length of more than 30 kilometers and an area of ??more than 210 square kilometers.

Shuangqiaogou is the most concentrated and charming scenic spot in the entire Siguniang Mountain. A Zanla River runs through the entire Shuangqiao Valley. On both sides of the ditch are spectacular and majestic cliffs. Walking in the ditch, you can see different scenery step by step, attracting many tourists, mountaineering enthusiasts, and photographers. A creative paradise.

Although Shuangqiaogou is a paid scenic spot, there are still many aborigines living in it, which has become a scenery in the scenic spot. Transfer to the bus from the gate of the scenic spot and drive into the ditch. Each stop has different scenery. Tourists can visit according to their own preferences. Perhaps because the picturesque scenery here attracted me, I got off the bus at Niupengzi Station. The Cowshed is named after the cowshed of a herdsman there. After getting off the car, I found that there was only one herdsman family here. The wooden post at the intersection said "Wang Er Ge Cowshed".

Blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, jungles, meadows, wild flowers, cattle and sheep, wooden houses... This is a picturesque scenery, this is a beauty comparable to the Alps, this is a city A dream paradise. Seeing such a scenery, I was so excited that I ran a few steps forward. However, the altitude of 4,000 meters immediately gave me a reaction. I felt dizzy and even felt a little nauseous. Before I could get excited, Within minutes, I was knocked back to my original shape. This is the harsh environment at high altitude.

This is the home of the second brother Wang, a herdsman. Their family of three lives here. The picture shows the second brother’s wife and his son. The second brother is not at home today and went to the town to buy daily necessities. Within a few kilometers, there is only Brother Wang and his family. In addition to facing this harsh environment, they also have to face isolation and loneliness.

Fortunately, the beautiful scenery of Siguniang Mountain is gradually becoming known to outsiders. More and more tourists and backpackers are coming, and their home is no longer so deserted. In addition to providing tourists with some local specialties, they also provide accommodation, which has become an important foothold and supply point for many hiking and mountaineering enthusiasts. Today we will have lunch at Er Ge’s house, and try Er Ge by the way. Sister-in-law’s craftsmanship.

As noon approached, the second sister-in-law started to get busy. The kitchen in his house is quite large, but the equipment is quite primitive. There is only a simple stove in the dark room, and a chimney goes straight through the roof. There were only two small windows in the entire kitchen. When the fire started, the whole house was filled with smoke. Coupled with the thin air of the plateau, I instantly felt like I was suffocating. I originally wanted to pat my second sister-in-law for cooking, but I couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly escaped.

Soon, the second sister-in-law prepared a sumptuous lunch for us, including meat and vegetables. Most of the dishes are steamed, including potatoes, pumpkins, etc. These vegetables are not grown on the mountain and are all bought from the market. The beef, butter, sausages, etc. were made by the second sister-in-law herself. Together with a freshly baked naan and a steaming bowl of butter tea, we were very satisfied in the high altitude environment.

The dishes are relatively light and delicious, but the high-altitude environment still doesn’t whet your appetite, and you feel full after just a few bites. Faced with the picturesque environment, most people just want to leave here quickly, and people seem to begin to miss the superior and comfortable environment in the city. However, for Brother Wang and his family, this seems to be a life outside the world. Only they know the hardships in it, because this is their home, and they have to persevere no matter how hard and tired they are.
