Conch and rock photography

Most of the glaciers on the earth either exist in the Antarctic region, far away from human settlements, and are far away from the world and inaccessible; Either without exception, it is distributed in the cold regions of the world, commanding, cold and arrogant and not easy to approach. However, in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan, China, there is a large glacier with a complete glacier landform-Hailuogou, which seems to make up for the regrets left by nature. The lowest point of Hailuogou is only 2850 meters above sea level, which is one of the only remaining low-altitude glaciers in the world. Ordinary people with average physique can climb up and enjoy the infinite scenery of Hailuogou.

Hailuogou Glacier was formed 654.38+600 million years ago, which is called modern ocean glacier in geology. Glaciers are about 15km long and very active. The thickest part of the ice body is 300 meters. The end of the glacier all extends to the original fir forest belt, and the "limestone" stretches for 6 kilometers. The mountains on both sides are bare rock layers, just like the cut mountains. Primitive forest and eternal ice sheet stand opposite each other, forming a unique natural scenery in which glaciers and forests depend on each other.

Hailuogou is full of scenery, making people fall in love at first sight. It is surrounded by glaciers, ancient and mysterious virgin forests, and a variety of "animal kingdoms" are within reach. The famous "Plum Rhododendron" at home and abroad is in harmony with the colorful glacier hot springs, and the dreamy human Yaochi and the breathtaking "Great Ice Waterfall" are unparalleled in the world. Hailuogou is not only a beautiful picture spread on Gongga Mountain, but also a pearl shining with colorful light on Kangba Plateau.

There is another touching legend about the origin of Hailuogou. When building Luding Bridge, craftsmen used bamboo ropes to pass through short bamboo tubes, tied iron ropes on the tubes, and crossed the river safely with 13 chains. After the completion of Luding Bridge, King Jebfa of the Tang Dynasty built a temple and tower on the western slope, and recited Buddhist scriptures in front of the glacier boulder cave in the morning and evening. For a time, honesty touched the sky, and big trees grew at the top of the cave, which was a colorful scene. As a result, the boulder he touched in the cave was named "Conch Lingshi" by Gongga Mountain God, hence the name of Hailuogou.

Although this is a legend, Hailuogou has attracted countless devout tourists after being developed into a tourist attraction. They hung white Hada on the conch lingshi to express their worship of the mysterious conch lingshi.

When it comes to Hailuogou, we have to mention Gongga Mountain, which is called "Shu king of the hill". It is not only the highest peak in Sichuan, but also the highest peak in Hengduan Mountains. The flora of Gongga Mountain is characterized by the mutual infiltration and integration of temperate and subtropical flora, and the plants with different properties are skillfully combined together. From the main peak of Gongga Mountain to the Dadu River, there are evergreen broad-leaved forest, temperate coniferous and broadleaved mixed forest belt, temperate coniferous forest belt and subtropical shrub meadow belt, and several vegetation belts constitute a relatively complete natural vertical belt landscape.

Every morning, in the silent Shan Ye, only birds can be heard, and the horizon gradually appears as a fish-belly grey. The rising sun shed the first faint sunshine on the world. The sun is getting brighter and brighter, and more than 50 continuous snow peaks are instantly covered with dazzling golden light, reflecting golden light. The mountains seem to be covered with a splendid coat, which is extremely magnificent. Everything is solidified in this golden color, and any language is pale and powerless. This is the most famous scene in Hailuogou-Rizhao Jinshan.

The peaks on both sides of Hailuogou face each other. In the steep valley, there is a large ice waterfall with a width of 1000 meters and a straight drop of 1000 meters. The gurgling water froze into ice in the extremely cold air. During the avalanche, a waterfall composed of countless extremely huge ice cubes flew down from a steep cliff, like a milky way pouring down from the blue sky. At that time, it was radiant and lifelike, and it could be heard from a kilometer or two away. Generally, the amount of collapse reaches millions of cubic meters at a time, and thousands of ice cubes in Qian Qian slide down the cliff and flow down happily, raising blood fog all over the sky. The ice cubes that have been brewing for a long time are dazzling and spectacular, which can be called one of the wonders of nature.

In this world of ice and snow, there are several hot springs full of waves, the water temperature is generally between 40℃ and 80℃, and there are even boiling springs with the water temperature as high as 90℃, which is in sharp contrast to the outdoor cold of 10℃. In the steaming hot spring, it is amazing to see snowflakes flying all over the sky, one place is cold and hot, and two days are ice and fire. Hot springs of different sizes, especially the second camp is the largest, nearly 100 square meters, like a yard; Small two meters square, only two people can take a shower together. Surrounded by a school of white clothes, hot spring water overflowed from the bottom of the pool and the hot air rose. The extremely cold outdoor temperature reflects the fiery spring water. Snowflakes fall from the infinite sky and gently fall on the shoulders, bringing a little coolness. Everything around me became very quiet, and my thoughts were like a small red leaf floating on the surface of the pool. There was no noise, and my heart sank. It was extremely quiet.

Winter is the most charming season in Hailuogou. Snowflakes all over the sky floated back to the earth through the virgin forest, kissing the rolling Hengduan Mountains. Glittering glaciers and white snowflakes complement each other, one rigid and one soft, one hard and one soft, and the green virgin forest is more beautiful and charming. Snow-capped mountains, glaciers, hot springs and forests are woven into a green dream corridor in western Sichuan. The magical fairy mountain Yaochi and Lingquan Shenshui moisten the magical Hailuogou, and also warm the hearts of all beings from south to north.

? A man stood quietly on the glacier, overlooking the Millennium snow of Gongga Snow Mountain, and a magnificent folk song sounded in his ear. One of the quietest and simplest forces rises from the soles of your feet. Everything is the past in front of nature. Neither an advanced camera nor a simple pen can have beauty. Looking for, moving, goodbye, not ending, but continuing, the road of life is still going on, just like the beauty of Hailuogou that has been walking. ...
