Gansu tourism, from langmusi to Tangke Yellow River and from Gansu to Sichuan, has opened a series of doors.

Original title: From langmusi to Tangke, the Yellow River has a series of gates from Gansu to Sichuan.

Tangke nine beautiful songs of the Yellow River

Hequma

Speaking of Hequ, in Maqu County, Gannan, the Yellow River flows eastward from Bayan Kara, forming a 433-kilometer-long "First Bend of the Nine Curves of the Yellow River" in Maqu County. Because the process is too long and the span is too large, you can only see the whole picture from the perspective of aerial photography.

In Tangke Township, Zoige, Sichuan, there is also the "First Bend of the Yellow River with Nine Curves". The water of the Yellow River floats slowly from the horizon like a fairy's ribbon, gently caresses the edge of Sichuan, then turns to Gansu, and climbs to the commanding heights of Wohu Mountain here, and the magnificent scene jumps into view.

Mount Rierlang separates Gannan from western Sichuan.

From langmusi to Tokyo, it is suitable for go on road trip.

One morning in early March, we set out from Langmusi Town in Luqu, crossed the Rier Langshan Tunnel at the junction of Gansu and Sichuan, and came to Tangke Township, ruoergai county, Sichuan.

Walking out of langmusi, you can see the morning mist floating on the yellow grassland. At the end of the line of sight, there are rolling mountains. At the eastern end of the mountain range, a group of steep, sharp and hard black-gray rocks straddle the sky, which is Mount Rilang. Through the Rierlangshan Tunnel, you will be in Sichuan. The undulating mountain-shaped images were flattened and spread by the gods, forming a vast Zoige grassland.

"Tangke", an ordinary town, is famous all over the world because of the title of "the first bend of the Yellow River with nine curves". The distance from Tang Dynasty to Xi, Chengdu and Lanzhou is more than 500 kilometers, which is more than half a day's drive with convenient transportation.

The asphalt road leading to Tangke Town is not wide, but the road conditions are excellent. On both sides of the road, there is a gentle slope and another gentle slope. In the warm sunshine, the ochre grass still smells warm and makes people sleepy.

If you want to enjoy the panoramic view of Tangke's "First Bend of the Yellow River", it is natural to climb high and look far. There are several hillsides facing the Jiuqu Yellow River, and there is a 340-year-old Tibetan Buddhist temple at the foot of the mountain-Suokezang Temple. There is a mountain called Crouching Tiger Mountain behind the temple. There is a paved road on the hillside, and tourists are everywhere. The mountain is close to 3800 meters above sea level, which looks ordinary, but it is not easy to climb.

The supreme demeanor of "the first bend of the Yellow River" in Wohu Mountain

Climbing up the steps along the Crouching Tiger Mountain, whenever the altitude rises by one meter, the scenery in front of you will be re-composed.

At the junction of heaven and earth, a quiet and deep water surface is scattered on the meadow, which seems to be disconnected from each other.

In my mind, these shots are flashing and overlapping, and the water surfaces of these fragments are gradually connected, like the sleeves thrown by Tsing Yi on the stage.

Suokezang Temple in the sun, the house is shining with golden light, and next to it is a village, which is quiet and serene. Looking further away, between the sandbar and the grass beach, a clear Yellow River water comes from the west and joins its tributary Baihe River. After flowing through Tangke, it almost turned back to 180 degrees and turned to Gansu again.

Leave Wohu Mountain and drive to Baihe Bridge where the Yellow River meets the Baihe River. Standing on the bridge overlooking, Baihe inadvertently has a little meaning of the majestic Yellow River. There are no waves surging on the wide water surface, only golden sunshine is mixed between ripples, showing a great appeal and supreme style.

There are many reeds growing along the river, and it is white, which is the snow condensed by reeds. Beside the bend of the river, a stone tablet more than two meters high is engraved with Li Bai's famous sentence "How does the water of the Yellow River move out of heaven".

Charm of Hequ Horse, one of the three famous horses in China.

It is estimated that the great poet has never been to Tangke, and "How the water of the Yellow River moves out of the sky" can naturally describe the beautiful scenery in front of him, but I still feel a little abrupt, not if the legend about Baihe is more cordial:

According to legend, a long time ago, the white crane was a gentle and moving girl. She turned into a clear river and wandered on the Tangke prairie, waiting for the appearance of Prince Charming. She wore a white gauze made of white clouds and rode a little red horse, running freely and slowly on the vast and distant grassland. The flying silk scarves left thirty-three bends in the grass, and the beautiful hair formed countless oases.

The Yellow River, which grew up at the peak of snow and ice in Qinghai, is a prince with both wisdom and courage. He admired the beauty and kindness of Baihe girl, broke through all kinds of difficulties and married Baihe girl all the way south.

He searched all the way and finally met the white crane girl in front of the Suoke Tibetan Temple. The two embraced, became one, and left the northwest hand in hand. It is unknown where they finally went, but the little red horse of Miss Baihe and the horse of the Prince of the Yellow River were also two of a kind, and the thoroughbred horses that were born later went upstream and returned to their hometown. This is the famous Hequ horse at home and abroad.

Hequma！ Where is it? Hequ Horse is one of the three famous horses in China and an important member of the nine famous horses in the world. Hequ horse was famous in the world as early as the Tang Dynasty, and has since become a tribute horse in all previous dynasties. Driving all the way in Zoige grassland, you can often see black yaks crowded on the grassland like dark clouds, and almost all the men who graze are riding motorcycles.

Horses no longer seem to be the darling of the grassland. We drove back to the depths of the grassland and drove for three or four kilometers. Finally, we saw a group of more than a dozen horses by the roadside. These winding horses are elegant and quiet.

At this time, you will envy the steed that eats grass, or a sheep, a yak, a butterfly dancing in the flowers in the grass, and a wild bee. You can't help asking yourself: Who is the real master of nature? ...

Travel advice

If you leave langmusi at 9 am, the weather will be warmer. Don't arrive in Tangke too early, because the most beautiful scenery in Tangke is watching the sunset on the Yellow River. If you are in a hurry and ignore the scenery on the road, you will have to wait and watch the sunset at Wohu Mountain.
