Fake Jiaodingshan Travel Diary

I fell in love with hiking after climbing Niubei Mountain. . .

The scenery along the way is even more joyful in exchange for sweat and will. .

A pilgrimage. .

In outdoor sports, safety always comes first. .

First: During outdoor sports, you may encounter many unknown situations. You must be prepared for everything and do not take any chances. What to do if you don’t have what you need in an emergency. For example, I prepared 30 meters of paracord and 4 safety buckles. There are also lighters, knives, etc.

Second: Have a basic understanding of the place you want to go. It is best to look at Google Maps and Google Earth to understand the roads and terrain of the destination. It would be best if you can make an offline satellite map yourself, which can achieve instant positioning. Understand the impact of climate and weather on the local area. For example, in Western Sichuan, landslides, mudslides, etc. are easy to occur if it rains during this season, so rainy days are not suitable for travel. Don’t let exploration turn into adventure. .

My trip this time ***2 and a half days:

Afternoon of the first day: Chengdu---Hanyuan (Ouse River Town)--Huangmu Town

The second day: Hiking and mountain climbing

The third day: Following the savage tribe’s convoy and taking a car down the mountain back to Chengdu.

I had already joined the Savage Tribe’s Jiaoding Mountain activity group, but they had to drive there by themselves, and I wanted to hike up the mountain. No one wanted to hike with me, so I took the train to Hanyuan one day in advance. The train ticket is 41 yuan. From Chengdu to Wushe Town, Hanyuan, the train takes 2:30 in the afternoon and arrives in Hanyuan at 6:30. . From Chengdu to the Ouse River, on the famous Chengdu-Kunming Line, you have to pass through the Dadu River Gorge. However, due to cloudy weather and most of the railways are in tunnels, if you want to see the Dadu River Gorge, you can only go along the Dadu River Province. Road, from Jinkou River in Leshan to Wushu River in Hanyuan, the whole journey is about 30 kilometers. .

When traveling alone, there will always be a little uneasiness in my heart. .

After arriving at the train station, take a bus to Huangmu Town. The green-patterned buns in the picture are regular shuttle buses. They only cost 10 yuan. If you take a private van, it costs 20 yuan. It takes an hour. Huangmu Town is located, and Jiaoding Mountain is located behind Huangmu Town.

I am used to having a detailed understanding of local culture and history. Hanyuan Railway Station is in Ouse River Town. Ouse River Town is near the Dadu River Gorge and is a must-pass for the Chengdu-Kunming Line. road. If you have more time, you can go near the Ouse River to see the scenery of the Chengdu-Kunming Line on the Dadu River Gorge and the Nainaibao ruins. The journey from the Ouse River is within an hour (on foot, only a few kilometers away) (people in the 1980s should know about the Ouse River accident, here is Baidu Encyclopedia: /view/4158476.htm)

Attractions near the train station (reprinted from bai,du Travel)

(The following attractions in the Dadu River Gorge, from Jinkou River to Ouse River, are reproduced from bai,du Travel).

The following is the general direction: Hanyuan Railway Station (Ouse River)---Huangmu---Jiaoding Mountain. . .

When I arrived in Huangmu Town, it was after seven o'clock and it was getting dark. The shuttle bus driver took me directly to a hotel. It was a family hotel. The people here were quite wealthy. When I entered, the boss A family was having dinner, including an old man and a child. They seemed to be from the Yi ethnic group. The three-story new house only cost 25 yuan a night for a double room. It was quite clean. . It's very quiet here, and people who live here should feel very happy. . . We don’t know why we are busy in the city. . .

Speaking of Huangmu Town, it also has a history. The word "Huangmu" can simply be understood as a place where the emperor provided wood. It has a history of thousands of years. In the past, this place was full of towering trees. Since the Song Dynasty, Until the Qing Dynasty, wood had been provided for the construction of the imperial palace. Today, many of the wood for the Forbidden City came from this forgotten town. History is always ruthless, dust returns to dust, dust returns to earth. . Many people here claim that their ancestors were sent by the emperor to manage logging. In the Ming Dynasty, this place was called the "Imperial Wood Factory". If you don't know this, you should know "Dong Factory", which is a specially set up institution. . In other words, many people here have ancestors who were civil servants in ancient times. . . A few kilometers away from Huangmu, there is a red flower village. There is a red flower pasture nearby, which was also a government agency at the time. It is a large pasture, an alpine pasture, similar to a grassland. In this season, the flowers are blooming very beautifully. If you have the opportunity, You can go and have a look. .

After settling down, we went on to eat. Huangmu’s bacon and local chicken is very famous, but I didn’t have a taste for it. I could just eat it by myself. The casserole rice noodles here are also delicious and genuine. Yes, it only costs seven yuan. . After dinner, it started to rain lightly. I was not very optimistic about the weather tomorrow. If it is not suitable for hiking, I would go down the mountain to have a look at the Grand Canyon. This is my plan. .

I slept well that night, the air was good, it was quiet, and there was no noise. .

I got up early the next morning at seven o'clock, and it was raining. Although it was not heavy, it still didn't seem suitable for hiking, so I took a few pictures.,

I was a little hesitant because of the heavy fog in the sky. I was alone and there was light rain. . I plan to walk to the foot of the mountain for two hours to see how the weather changes before making any plans. . It's not easy to go out once, so I had to scrape together a few days of vacation. .

I set off. . Holding an umbrella. . The pace is firm. .

This time I still read the guide, and then made an offline satellite map myself, which can position in real time. After the satellite positioning is corrected, the accuracy is within 10 meters, allowing me to finally reach the destination. .

General direction: Huangmu Town----Dashen River--Shuigoutou---Jiaoding Mountain. . . The altitude of Huangmu Town is 1,800 meters, and the whole journey is about 10 kilometers, but it is all mountainous. The altitude keeps rising. . It is 3100 meters to reach the abandoned mine at the top of the mountain, and finally reach the top of more than 3500 meters. .

The first stage: Huangmu Town-----Dashen Creek. . .

This road goes in the direction of Honghua Village, but it branches off at Dashen River and starts climbing. . I set off after seven o'clock, holding an umbrella. I felt the rain getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't walk far. My trouser legs and shoes were all wet. At a farmer's uncle's house, I sat down to rest for a while, ate something, and watched. It was 8:30 on the clock, and I was considering whether to go down the mountain or continue. The rain showed no sign of stopping. This kind of weather was really not suitable for mountain climbing and would increase the risk, so I was going to go back and have a look at the Grand Canyon. . Safety always comes first. .

When I returned to Huangmu Town, I felt a little regretful. After finally coming here once, I just went back. I stood on the roadside and smoked a cigarette. That was all it took. , unexpectedly a big hole appeared in the sky, and the sunlight poured down. The sunlight on the mountain was very intense, which made me feel better. At this time, the rain stopped, and I decided to continue climbing the mountain. . Then walked towards Honghua Village. . . . When we reached Dashen River, it was already 10 o'clock. . It was 4pm when I finally reached the top of the mountain. .

This is Dashenxi. Whether you are walking on the road or looking at the map, it is obvious that it is a big turn. As shown in the picture, there are people along the way and it is easy to ask for directions. .

Look at my satellite map, hehe. .

I am here on the map now, and my location is very accurate. .

Look at the picture below. At the top of this big turn, you will see a few stone slabs, something like a stone bridge.

The path up the mountain next to the stone bridge is the way up the mountain. From Here the climbing begins. . .

After walking up this path for 10 minutes, you will encounter some railings made of tree trunks, blocking the road. I don’t know why. Later, when I walked up, I realized that some cows were grazing on them. . In fact, in the next few hours, I didn't meet anyone, I just saw some cattle, sheep and horses. . Grazing leisurely. .

This is the big deep creek in reality. The road is concave. When you reach the top of this big turn, you start to climb up the mountain in the distance.

This is the big deep creek. On the mountain behind the deep stream. Trekking poles. . . Take a trip here. . I recently visited a place where there was so much noise, from Egypt to Yibin. I like a more civilized approach.

The top of the mountain that was still far away just now, I have already approached the foot of it. . .

Continue walking up and you will reach a platform where cows are grazing. I dare not get close. There are some cows and calves. It may be dangerous to get close. Remember . . . .

After passing this platform, go to the path on the mountain on the left. It is not very obvious, but you will see it when you walk up. . .

Looking back now, the two roads in the picture below are the big turns of Dashen Creek. . . The cow has become very small. . . Remember, go up the hill to the left. . .

Because I am alone and have no words along the way, I like to listen to songs when hiking, which can match my pace. Your favorite sports music can give you strength. The pace should not be too fast, just be moderate, because you will need to walk at this pace for several hours. . Also carrying weight. . I carried almost 30 pounds. . Sometimes I feel struggling, so I cheer myself up, eat Snickers, and listen to dynamic music. . About every half hour of walking, I would put down my backpack and take a rest. I was a little tired from hiking with heavy loads, haha, but it was painful and happy at the same time. .

I expect to arrive at Shuigoutou on the map at 12 o'clock. . It arrived at 11.30. . . Here is the legendary pool and cowshed. .

As shown below. .

It seems that the GPS of my 400 yuan mobile phone is quite useful. . The small road next to the red short line in the picture below is the road from Dashen River to Shuigoutou. Sometimes the road is not obvious, so it is best to have satellite positioning.

There are two small dots next to the ditch head in the picture above. After zooming in on the map, it looks like the picture below. A small house and a pool are a Haizi and a cowshed. Between the cowshed and the Haizi, Just continue walking up the ridge. The direction pointed by the arrow is the route up the mountain. If you keep walking, you will reach the legendary Camp No. 1.

I stood beside the cowshed and Haizi, and the sky was full of Heavy fog, visibility of more than ten meters, mud everywhere, this is the end of the trip. . Hahaha. . .

To the left of the hiking pole is a rural road, which is very obvious on the map. . I continued walking towards the mountain. Between the small house in the distance and the pond nearby was a road going up the mountain. . . Now I feel like I have been floating alone in the middle of the sea, alone and helpless. I can only look at the GPS from time to time to correct the direction of progress. . . .

The next route is to continue up from Shuigoutou, pass Camp No. 1, and return to the road. . .

Occasionally I feel that I cannot keep up with my physical strength and am getting more and more tired. After walking for a few minutes, I have to stop and rest for a while, and I am out of breath. Drink water and eat every half hour. The situation ahead is unknown, and I am a bit worried that I will not be able to reach the highway before dark, but based on previous experience, I think I will reach the highway within 3 hours. The self-driving team of the Savage Tribe should now be approaching the top of the mountain. . There are no teammates or passers-by, only myself to cheer myself up. . The camera hangs from the backpack. .

Can you see the road ahead? There seem to be only a few footprints. . . It seems that this road can only be felt with the heart. . .

I don’t know the true face of Laishan Mountain, just because I am in this mountain. . . (This Laishan Mountain is Daxianling Mountain, where Jiaoding Mountain is located) You should be able to see very far on a clear day. .

As the altitude increases and the oxygen content of the air decreases, I feel it is a little difficult to move. The mountains are not so muddy, but the shoes are already full of water. I guess they should be retired after returning home. .

Whether you choose the distance, you choose to go through hardships and hardships. . . .

Loneliness is my color when traveling alone. .

This is the way up. .

This is the way to go. . . It seems that this road is really made by people. . Originally there was none. . . The same is true in life. .

The feeling of hiking alone is a bit strange. . . .

Looking at the GPS, I was gradually approaching Camp No. 1 and the highway.

It was about 3:30 when I arrived at Camp No. 1, which is on the highway. . . When you get on the road, you will see a small house with a puppy tied at the door. . I finally reached the highway, hahaha. . At this time, the sky suddenly became brighter and I felt quite comfortable. . In front of me is a sea of ??clouds that is constantly rolling. . What a great word for "shuang". . .

It faces Laishan Mountain to the west to view the sea of ??clouds. . .

After turning this intersection, you can see the top of Jiaoding Mountain. . . .

The Dadu River in the distance flows endlessly. . .

Here you go. .

Youth is like a flower, tenacious and bright. .

We finally arrived, haha, look at those yaks with their heads down and grazing. The entire mountain top is shrouded in mist, and you can still feel the freedom of these cattle. .

This slope is really big, and those black dots are yaks. . Yaks attack people, so I dare not get close. .

This is the legendary abandoned house, which can be seen on the satellite map. .

I have always been used to manual focus on the dandelions on the top of the mountain, and the 18-55 dog head lens produced pretty good results. . .

I contacted the convoy of the Savage Tribe. It is now 4 o'clock. They have just arrived in Huangmu Town. They still have two hours to reach my location on the top of the mountain. My shoes, socks, and pants are all packed. My pants and shoes were all wet, but fortunately, my shoes only leaked water, not mud, and my socks were still white. I hiked from Dashenxi to back to the road. It took almost 6 hours and I didn’t meet anyone. Now Sitting here, occasionally locals will pass by on motorcycles, and tour groups from other places will drive by. . . Finally I could breathe a sigh of relief. I took off all my shoes, socks, and pants and spread them out in the sun. However, the climate here is changeable. Dense clouds and bright sunshine would alternate every ten minutes, so I was shivering from the cold. It's so hot. .

The hillsides were full of yaks and horses. The horses were running wildly. I heard the neighing of the horses for the first time. . . Just like on TV, and now it's right in front of you. .

The sky is a bit too blue. . No P straight out. . .

When the clouds and fog dissipate, this slope is right in front of you. The altitude where I am now is 3100 meters. It is this slope, more than 400 meters high. Up it, you can reach the top of the mountain, which is more than 3500 meters. . It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to stand on the top of the mountain. . .

Magnificent. . I would like to become an eagle and fly freely. . .

On this slope, there are not only horses and cows running, but also clouds running on the grass. . . I am sitting here, what I saw on the map before, and now I am here, reaching out to touch the blue sky and be with the white clouds. .

At about 5:30, the convoy of the Savage Tribe finally arrived. We continued for about a kilometer and reached the location of the Jiaoding Mountain Manganese Mine on the map. We can also climb to the top here. More importantly, here The wind will be lighter, making it suitable for camping. . .

It’s windy now. I don’t know if it’s the wind that brought the rain clouds or something else. It started to rain, drizzle. I set up camp for the first time and it took me half an hour to set up the tent. . Hair and clothes were already wet. . . I only wore a long-sleeved T-shirt, and upon returning from Niubei Mountain, I found that I was very cold-resistant. . . . . The motorcade in the distance is where several teams of people are parked. It seems that this place is already very famous. For undeveloped scenic spots like Jiaoding Mountain and Niubei Mountain, everyone comes in groups and charters cars. And I am Came on foot as a pilgrimage. .

The rain clouds passed and there was peace. . . Everyone cheered for the explosion of character. It seems that tomorrow’s sunrise will be exciting. .

A few traveling friends and I climbed up the hillside behind to watch the sunset. . .

The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk. . . . . .

The Wizard of Oz. . .

I don’t know if it is a TV transmission tower or a communication base station. .

.

A rainbow appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance. . .

Looking at Dawa Mountain from the Jinkou River in Leshan, the peculiarity of Dawa Mountain is that the top of the mountain is flat.

Let’s take a close-up of Dawa Mountain under the sunset The Dawa Mountain reveals a kind of desolation and majesty. . .

Sunset, sea of ??clouds. . . The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world. . .

It’s cold at high places. . .

When we got down to the camp, everyone started to make pots for cooking, and I seized this rare opportunity to take photos, and the stars came out. . 30 seconds long exposure, it seems that the quality of this dog head is not bad in a place with good scenery. .

The Big Dipper. .

The mountain behind is four to five hundred meters high, and the moon is about to climb up. .

Starry sky, clouds. .

Half the moon climbed up,,,,

I carried the camera alone to take pictures of the sea of ??clouds, and accidentally discovered the snow-capped mountains in the distance. . . So I took a few long exposures in that direction. . .

The sea of ??fiery red clouds,,, haha, this should be the lights of Hanyuan County shining through the sea of ??clouds. .

I don’t know whether it is Gongga Snow Mountain. . .

The tent in the lower right corner is mine. . .

The moon has climbed very high. .

The sea of ??clouds and the moon in the sky, standing here, really have an otherworldly feeling. .

Back at the camp, I had a barbecue and drank beer with Sister Yuan and a few traveling friends. From here my self-inflicted abuse turned into a corrupt one. Everyone was in high spirits and drank until after 1 o'clock. . In this place of more than 3,000 meters, barbecue, beer,. Isn’t it a fairy-like life? What else can I ask for? . After everyone dispersed, I went back to the tent and fell asleep quickly. I woke up at about 4 o'clock and couldn't fall back asleep. The sleeping bag felt light and not warm when I fell asleep. My feet felt like I was stepping in an ice cave. I touched the tent and the tent. The sleeping bags were all wet. It hadn't rained, so the water vapor must have condensed on the surface. . The moon outside illuminates the earth like daylight. . . I really want to go out and have a look. . . . I only wore a T-shirt. . The temperature is only a few degrees. .

At 5 o'clock, everyone woke up and started to climb the mountain. It was really difficult to walk. The hikers in front would accidentally kick down the stones. I stood on the mountainside and saw a piece of sea as big as a bowl. The stone rolled down, and it seemed that Sister Yuan was standing on the road below. We screamed in fright, but she nimbly avoided it. .

The sun is coming out soon, and the sky shows a strange color. . . The horizon is indistinguishable. . The human soul should be purified here. .

The sun finally came out. . Small aperture, F22, otherwise you can only see a golden patch and not the sun. .

Looking back, over the sea of ??clouds, the moon has not yet set, but the snow-capped mountains have been slowly illuminated by the sun. .

The moon, sea of ??clouds, snow-capped mountains, Haizi, and colorful tents, the composition of this photo is the most satisfying one of my trip, but the exposure is not appropriate. .

Snow-capped mountains, I have come on a pilgrimage. . .

It was very windy on the top of the mountain and the camera was unstable. No one took the picture for me, so I took the picture myself, using a tripod. . I have always adopted a "Qu Yuan asks Tian" pose. . .

This is an abandoned manganese mine. . There are still ruins left, and when photographed together with the snow-capped mountains in the distance, you can slowly appreciate the changes of the years. .

At 10 o'clock, we started to go down the mountain. We took a bus to Ya'an, had dinner, and returned to Chengdu. . Thanks to the Savage Tribe. . . Thank you Sister Yuan, thank you all travel friends. . . Back to my den, it's already 10 o'clock. . .

First time in Ya’an. . .

If there are friends who know how to make offline satellite maps, I will provide another guide. As long as there is real-time positioning of satellite maps, one can walk from Huangmu Town to the top of the mountain. . .

tanned again. . .
