Travel Notes of Gansu (1)

20021August 12- 15, go on road trip, Gansu, visited Longnan City, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture.

2065438+When I came back from Tibet by car in August 2008, I once passed through southern Gansu from Sichuan. At that time, I visited Zhagana, Sangke Grassland and the famous langmusi and Labuleng Temple in "Network Celebrity", but due to time, I failed to visit Guan 'egou in 4A scenic spot of Dangchang County, Longnan City. At that time, I had some regrets. Last year, the Bingling Temple Grottoes in Gannan were rated as 5A scenic spots. In addition, I also learned about Anguo Village in Gannan, the Secret Land of Ganjia, Yongtai Ancient City in Baiyin City, the Yellow River Stone Forest and so on. From the Internet, so I'm going to make a trip to go on road trip, Gansu. Originally planned to go to Qinghai in early September, and planned to go to Qinghai in August 12. However, due to the epidemic, flights from Yinchuan to Xining were basically grounded, so we had to give up our trip to Qinghai and put our trip to Gansu on the agenda. However, the Yellow River Stone Forest in silver has not been opened yet due to an accident, so I gave up the silver market on this trip. The itinerary is designated as Yinchuan-Guan 'egou-Anguo Village-Ganjia Secret Land-Bingling Temple Grottoes-Yinchuan, and it is planned to take more than three days to complete the itinerary.

Yinchuan is 750 kilometers away from Guan 'egou, and the navigation display takes more than 9 hours to arrive. Now Gaud's navigation is more accurate, and the time difference will not be too much. In order to ensure that we can get to Dangchang before dark at night, we set off from Yinchuan at 10: 30, ate something in Tongxin service area at noon 1: 00 and then continued on our way. All the way through Guyuan, Xiji, Huining, Dingxi and Minxian. Arrive at Guleishan Hotel in Tanchang County at 19: 50 in the evening, which is more than two kilometers away from Guan 'egou Scenic Area. The whole journey is 9.5 hours, only a few minutes away from navigation. I have nothing to say all night, and I will go to Guanegou Scenic Area tomorrow.

Guan 'egou is located in the suburb of Dangchang County, Longnan City, Gansu Province, and consists of Guanzhugou, Egou, Mulonggou and Miaogou, with a total area of 42,000 hectares. In 2003, it was established as a national forest park, in 2007, it was rated as a national 4A-level tourist attraction, and 20 14 was established as a national geological park. Guan 'egou National Forest Park integrates natural and human landscapes such as forest landscape, grassland landscape, landform landscape, water landscape and astronomical landscape. Lakes are like pearls, canyons are like lines and waterfalls, with diverse animals and plants, beautiful ecological environment and strange natural landscape. In addition, there are more than 3,000 Tibetans and Qiang people living in the park, and they have retained their unique costumes and customs, which is also a good theme for folk tourism.

We plan to open the scenic spot at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the first batch will enter the scenic spot. One reason is that there are few people, and the other reason is that if we can finish the tour before 15: 00, we can get to Anguo Village in Xiahe County, Gannan Prefecture. Although Guan 'egou is only 260 kilometers away from Anguo Village, it takes 5-6 hours to drive because there is no expressway.

At 8: 05 in the morning, we arrived at the visitor center. It was not a holiday at that time, and the traffic in the scenic spot was not controlled. We drove directly to Huaertan, the second gate of Guan 'egou Scenic Area. At Huaertan Service Station, we bought tickets, scenic spot tickets for 85 yuan and sightseeing tickets for 45 yuan. Take sightseeing bus to Tongtianmen, which is the official entrance of the scenic spot. Enter the scenic spot and continue to visit along the scenic plank road. Different from the water view in the outer scenic spot, the canyon waterfall view is the main view in the inner scenic spot. After Tiantong Gorge, Guwu Gorge and Panlong Gorge, you come to Guanyin Pavilion in the scenic spot. This is a square in the canyon. Under the confrontation of towering and handsome peaks on both sides, Tianmen is wide open and surrounded by auspicious clouds. Longxian Waterfall, like a trickle, flies down from the peak, and the Huangwa Guanyin Pavilion on the opposite wall stands abruptly in this deep valley, becoming a landscape. Moving on, after five waterfalls gorge, nine waterfalls gorge and Dishu gorge, a number of scenic work vehicles roared past below. Everyone was a little tired after a long walk and chatted with the driver. They agreed to take us directly to the end of the scenic spot-Guanetian Waterfall. So we happily got on the work car, winding all the way in the canyon, passing through Hukou Waterfall, Xishui Gorge, Dui Waterfall Gorge, Juxi Sendai and other scenic spots, and all the way to the Guantiantian Waterfall. Guan 'e Waterfall is the most spectacular landmark landscape in Guan 'e Gully, and it is also the most famous punching place for Network Celebrity in Guan 'e Gully. Approaching the Guane Waterfall, which sounds like thunder, the roar of its beasts is deafening. Looking up, a clear and huge stream spewed out from the top of the mountain, flew down, shook the earth, roared like a horde fighting Ma Benteng, and danced like a dragon. I am used to seeing all kinds of waterfalls that are as small as practicing and floating in the sky, and then standing in front of this magnificent and earth-shattering waterfall, the inner contrast is indescribable. Guane Waterfall rushes down, as if falling from the sky. The waterfall splashed countless water droplets in the air, which were blown up by the gentle mountain wind and turned into flying mist. We walked through the water mist spread by the waterfall, and the dense water mist showed a beautiful rainbow under the direct sunlight. The rainbow moves with the fog and its color changes with the wind. The rainbow hangs in the canyon where the waterfall flies, which surprises the tourists greatly. Although the rain and fog soon wet people's cheeks and clothes, people still stubbornly photographed the rainbow in the fog, which is also an excellent place for tourists to entertain themselves.

After enjoying the rainbow of Guane Waterfall, there is no regular scenic road to move on, only the gray peak at the end of the valley. Compared with the nearby green valleys, the distant peaks in the sky are like the existence of alien planets. Once again, we crossed the Guane Waterfall, where the rain was raining and the rainbow was flying, and we turned back. After only a few hundred meters, the tool cart that just went up the mountain also turned back, so we stopped the car and continued to take a ride back to Tongtianmen, saving about an hour and a half. Huaertan is about 9 kilometers away from the tourist center. After entering the Guanaigou, we visited the scenery outside Guanaigou all the way, but we didn't stop to visit it carefully, so we savored it when we came back. The so-called scenic spot is Guan 'egou scenic spot, but you can go and see it without buying a ticket. The peripheral scenic spots start from Yinpinghu and pass through Princess Lake, Pearl Beach, Guan 'e Lake, Lijie Lake, Crescent Lake, Yanzi Lake, Baiwei Medicine Garden, Luren Qiangzhai and other scenic spots. The lakes along this road are basically carved by artificial dams, which fully embodies the beautiful characteristics of Guan' egou. These lakes of different sizes and shapes are like strings of green pearls embedded in ditches. The lake is clear and transparent, showing a different color from the landform at the bottom of the lake. Those ancient trees reflected in the lake lie at the bottom of the lake like dragons. Blue sky, white clouds, green hills and ancient trees are reflected in the lake, and heaven and earth are integrated, losing their boundaries. The lake dam is built on the mountain, so basically there is an artificial waterfall in the upper reaches of each lake. Clear and transparent streams flew down from the dam, suddenly appearing in every corner of the valley like a white bead curtain, which surprised tourists from time to time. A large area of flower sea has been planted on the baiwei grassland near Crescent Lake. Marigold, zinnia, Gesanghua and colorful flowers converge into a sea of flowers, which turns into a warm and unrestrained landscape in the green valley. Guane Lake is the most beautiful of all lakes. The Lijie Lake in the upper reaches floats down like a broad silver curtain at the low dam, forming a wonderful pool in the reflection of green peaks. Under the irradiation of sunlight, the water surface appears colorful. There are a lot of green algae growing at the bottom of Guan 'e Lake, swaying in the water like a fairy's long hair. The patches of water plants and algae on the water surface are yellow and brown. These moving colors complement the blue sky and white clouds and pines and green hills reflected in the water, just like a beautiful oil painting in the water, which is breathtaking. Yin Pinghu is rippling with blue waves, the lake is clear and transparent, the mountains are lying quietly on both sides of the river. The dam here should be the highest in Guan 'egou, and the waterfall is divided into two sections, separated by a hill. There is a small stone bridge above the waterfall in the scenic spot. The lake in the upper reaches flows out of the hole in the stone bridge and flows down into the Yinpinghu below, forming a unique artificial waterfall landscape.

It's almost 1 1: 00 after swimming in Yin Pinghu, and we drove to Yigangou. Guan 'egou, also known as Guan 'egou Grand Scenic Area, has developed two scenic spots, Guanzhugou and Goose Valley. The main bodies of the two ditches are parallel, but they are physically connected at the ends, but there is no road for tourists to pass at present. The staff of the scenic spot said that after the cableway of Guan 'egou was opened, the two ditches could communicate. But now they are far apart, and the navigation shows that it is 26 kilometers. In order to save time, although I bought a sightseeing ticket in the scenic spot, I chose to drive by car.

The scenery of Egangou is similar to that of Guanzhugou, which is basically artificial lakes, artificial waterfalls, natural waterfalls and other landscapes. Sightseeing bus, a scenic spot, sent us directly to the 18 scenic spots. The so-called Eighteen Gifts Scenic Spot is nothing more than an ancient tree covered with all kinds of Hadas. As for why it is called eighteen gifts, there is no plaque under the tree and the driver has not introduced it. The driver just told the tourists that there is an official Goose Tianchi scenic spot at the end of the scenic spot, also called Zedang Wrong. The distance is about 4.7 kilometers, and it takes at least 3 hours to walk back and forth. There is no commute to sightseeing bus, and there are no other scenic spots on the way to Chengyi Road. We are hesitant about this and do not regret it. If we go, it will take too much time and energy. After their own discussions, some people gave up going up the mountain and began to go back for sightseeing, while others insisted on hiking up the mountain and began to move slowly. During the struggle, we asked the staff about the scenic spots. The staff told Guan 'e Tianchi that it was very beautiful and the most beautiful scenic spot in Guan 'egou Grand Scenic Area. In this case, we are going to skip today and plan to go up the mountain. At this moment, another work car came at the entrance of the scenic spot, which was a vehicle for delivering meals to the staff in various scenic spots. After learning that the vehicle was going to Guane Tianchi, we had the cheek to tell the driver that we agreed to go with the vehicle. Our group took the work car and walked along the winding mountain road like lightning. It took about ten minutes to reach the official goose Tianchi at the top of the mountain. Sure enough, as the staff said, this is indeed the most beautiful place in the scenic spot. Surrounded by towering peaks, the hillside is covered with green grass, like a large green carpet, all the way to the foot of the mountain. In the vault of the mountains, the official goose Tianchi is embedded in the valley like a wet jasper. The emerald lake is as level as a mirror, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water like a dream, two white swans are swimming leisurely on the lake, and a small wooden boat is parked in the middle of the lake. The scenery in front of us reminds us of the beautiful scenery of the green lake under the Swiss Alps, and feels that the green hillside is like the Nalati grassland. All this is natural, natural, and it is really out of place compared with the scenic spots piled up artificially everywhere. We greedily took pictures on the plank road around the lake, trying to leave this beautiful scenery in our memory. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Only ten minutes later, the work car that delivered the meal came back. To save time, we hitchhiked back. It still took less than ten minutes to get home. When we came back, the hikers had just covered about a third of the distance. This ride made us very excited, saving at least two and a half hours, so that we can go to Gannan smoothly today.

Back to the transfer station, we followed sightseeing bus all the way down and visited Jinzun Waterfall, Feilaishi, Aquilaria Bath Waterfall and Goose Lake. The statue bathes in a waterfall on one side of the road. A silvery white water flows down from the top of the steep cliff, and the waterfall water goes straight to a rock like an elephant's head on the cliff below. Surprisingly, the current of this waterfall is sometimes large and sometimes small, sometimes like a torrent, and then it becomes like a water stop. According to the sign, this waterfall is an intermittent waterfall. The specific reason is unknown, but there is a small waterfall with flowing water more than ten meters away, but it has always maintained the same water potential. After a long discussion, everyone agreed that the scenic spot installed an organ at the top of the waterfall to have such an effect. It's already 14: 30 in the afternoon. We left Guan 'egou Scenic Area and went to Gannan, and made a short visit to Harbin/Dalian/Puhong/Military/Changzheng Memorial Hall.

Hadapu Red/Army/Long/Sign Memorial Hall is about 40 kilometers away from Tanchang County, which is an important node of Red/Army/Long/Sign in that year. Red/Commander has gone through many hardships, traveled a long way, survived, and traveled a lot. More than a year after arriving in Harbin/Dalian/Dalian, the host/guest assigned a task to Liang/Xing/Chu, who was then the reconnaissance company commander of the Red Army cavalry, to let them find some spiritual food. Liang/Xing/Chu led a group of people disguised as generals of the country/people/party and successfully obtained many newspapers from local officials and gentry. It was from these newspaper reports that the chairman/chairman found the information that there was a Red Army base area in northern Shaanxi, so he decisively made a strategic decision to "go to northern Shaanxi", so the three main forces successively joined forces in Huining, Gansu and Xiji, Ningxia, ending the 25,000-mile long March and opening up a new era of northern Shaanxi revolution and border area construction.

After a simple lunch in Hadapu and a visit to the memorial hall, it was already 4 pm. We in running all the way, passing Minxian, Zhuoni and Lintan, arrived at Hezuo City, the capital of Gannan Prefecture, at 8: 40 pm.

The two-day journey is about 1060 km. Tomorrow, I plan to visit Anguo Village, Migonghong Ranch and Ganjia Secret Scenic Area in Xiahe County.
