Travel Notes of Damei Xinjiang on August 9th: Impression of Harmony-Part Two (Harmonious Drifting, Meadow, Morning)

After breakfast, I walked around the Folk Museum in Harmony Village, observed the whole process of milking and making milk bumps by ethnic minorities, and visited the custom demonstration and physical map of Tuwa hunting.

At noon, when the sun is in the sky and the whole body is warm, take the shuttle bus to climb to the starting point of drifting.

Along the way, the goshawk hovered in the blue sky, majestic and powerful, with a deep voice and strong penetration, as if to declare a harmonious airspace. The shuttle bus climbed the hillside and crossed the grass, and saw leisurely horses grazing comfortably in the sun.

Harmonious drifting is an original ecological and high-risk real-life drifting project, far from being comparable to artificial drifting places such as Moganshan and Dienis Paradise in the Mainland. It was built with the help of the original topography and river characteristics of the Harmony River, with a total length of 9 kilometers, which is a combination of "strangeness, precision, clearness and seclusion". From the observation deck, harmonious drifting is like a jade belt in a deep valley.

The upper reaches of Harmony are mostly canyons, with fast-flowing water and large drop. Most rivers are washed out naturally, and there are many forks. Most rivers are fast-flowing with frequent waves, and the wave height in some places can reach1.5m2m.

Eldest brother told us that the most worthwhile experience of coming to harmony is drifting in harmony, and 200 yuan alone. Even if you are familiar with it, there is no discount, but it is absolutely value-added and thrilling.

Change stations, change clothes and put on drifting clothes before drifting. Baggage was transferred with car ferry, and people put on drifting clothes, entered drifting boats and went down the river.

A rafting boat with eight people, four people on one side, a lifeguard and instructor on one boat, and seven tourists filled it up. After explaining the main points of rafting repeatedly, everyone understood and set off. Whether drifting in the wild or taking risks, drifting boats capsize every day.

Lifeguards are veterans. It is not easy to lead seven novices across rapids and rapids in 20 minutes to complete the 9-kilometer drifting process.

Every tourist should play a role in excitement, fright and excitement. Qi Xin cooperated and waved the paddle to complete the whole process of drifting.

It is impossible for people to stay out of the boat, because the balance of the boat needs everyone's active participation and feedback.

As soon as the drifting boat entered the water, it immediately whirled and rushed straight down. Everyone's heart is in their throats. Listening to the instructions, they paddled desperately, thrilling again and again, exciting again and again, screaming again and again. The ending was scary and thrilling.

In the most dangerous reach, the whole body was wet by the river, and the drifting boat almost capsized. I feel comfortable and unforgettable for the rest of my life after the robbery, but unfortunately I can't take pictures and videos because my mobile phones have been collected and preserved.

Grassland in Hemu Village

In August, the height of grass can be more than two meters in ordinary places with lush vegetation and abundant rainfall. From a distance, riding a horse, you can only see a grass that has not been mowed, and the head is shaking.

The vast meadows under the snow-capped mountains, one after another, are full of green grass and flowers. The sky is gray, the fields are vast, the wind is blowing, and there are no cattle and sheep.

When we went, it was the time when the villagers mowed the grass. Only on the mowed grass could we see a few cattle and sheep. The whole mountain is covered with grass except where trees grow, just like the thick snow in winter.

On both sides of the Harmony River, there are abundant aquatic plants, and there are almost no traces of cattle and sheep along the way. Because of the abundant aquatic plants, harmonious people can live in the depths of mountains all the year round without changing places like other herders.

Unlike shepherds who go downhill in autumn, Harmony people start mowing grass in mid-July every year. It takes about 65,438+00 days for a shepherd to mow the grass at the foot of the mountain, and two months for a harmonious person to mow the grass until the grass is dry and the snow falls. There was too much grass to be transported home, so they piled up one nest after another in the same place.

"Wotao" means haystack in Mongolian. "Wotao" was surrounded by wood, and a ditch was dug to prevent livestock from jumping in. Each wowotou piles about 30 cubic meters of grass, about two tons, and the most people have 30 or 40 wowotou. So many people who lie in Tao Dou are made by local people.

In the winter snow-covered season of the past six months, the cattle and sheep of Harmony people can't go foraging in the wild, so they rely on people to use horse sledge-sledge-sledge to transport the grass lying in Taoli's house to feed it. Sheep's ability to plan food is poor, and the feeding time is as long as seven months, so local people feed more cattle and horses and less sheep.

Generally speaking, the villagers of Harmony River have two residences, one in summer and the other in winter. But there are no felt houses, they are all log-built peaked wooden houses. These wooden houses were also learned from Belarus.

A harmonious morning

In the early morning, a ray of sunshine sprinkled on the top of the mountain in the distance, and the top of the mountain was dyed pink. Slowly, the sun passed through the faint water mist over the village, lazily slanting down, as if unwilling to disturb this beautiful sleeping village.

The wooden house fence pulls out long light and shadow under the sunlight, as if it were a note written on the earth. Several families who get up early have begun to prepare breakfast, the roof emits faint smoke, and the cows and horses in the cowshed have begun to come out and take a leisurely walk in the fence, patiently waiting for the start of a new day.

Harmony River flows quietly there, and in the interweaving of light and shadow, you can feel a kind of pale blue melancholy and the quiet passage of time.

Harmony condenses the beauty of Kanas Scenic Area. Although harmony was gloomy for most of the three days, harmony without sunshine still left a deep impression on me with its unparalleled beauty. The occasional touch of sunshine is even more amazing. ......

At that time, in order to avoid the war, the ancestors of Tuwa people found such an isolated pure land and settled and multiplied. The scenery described in Peach Blossom Spring is nothing more than this.
