Baiji road

A few years ago, I rode my bike to Bletilla township in Xiuning. It is located in the southeast border of Xiuning, adjacent to Hua Kai, Zhejiang Province in the south. There are many peaks above 1000 meters in the territory, which is the most remote town in Xiuning. The donkey friends called it "the last Medog in the south of the Yangtze River". The picture below shows a flock of wild ducks flying away when they saw me near Fiona Fang town.

Bai Ji began to attract my attention. This is a photo from the Internet (below), a deep valley, next to Huang Chengcheng's rape blossoms, layered along the terraces. It's really beautiful. It took a long time because it was a little far from where I lived.

I choose to take the shuttle bus to Tunxi in my BMW, and then ride from there, passing through the fork and Fiona Fang. At first, the 10-kilometer road was smooth.

This is from the last century. It was taken by Fiona Fang.

Basically, it's all uphill, and most of the time I can only push the car forward, see? In the upper left corner is expressway. I thought that road had nothing to do with me, but in fact you just wanted to bypass it.

The mountains are quieter and there are few cars coming and going. As far as you are concerned, the sound may be the rustling of thatch on the roadside by the wind, or the occasional bird call. I am not afraid of loneliness, but I am sour and thirsty all the way.

Baiji Highway was completed and opened to traffic in 2005, which is a low-grade asphalt pavement. Gravel has been exposed on the surface, but it has made great progress compared with the previous shoulder-carrying mountain road.

Looking down at the road along the way, I still feel a sense of accomplishment, but the endless roads in the future will clean up this sense of accomplishment.

Occasionally meet a village or several families on the road. I once met a lovely little girl, and she said, "You ride a bike to the Baiji dolphin, and it's over." I said I rode 1000 km for several years. How can I finish riding? She said, "No, you're finished. , it is a car. "

You can see the long road in the distance. On the way, I asked a villager for directions. He replied, "It's still early, and I have to keep climbing." Then put your hand forward, not the kind of "pointing to Xinghua Village", but the kind of finger with no purpose. His eyes are full of schadenfreude and ridicule. I didn't feel it at that time, only when I recalled the feelings hidden behind Bai Ji's complicated eyes at that time did I realize it.

At this time, it's about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it's almost seven or eight hours since Tunxi, from looking up at "Qi Mei" at the beginning to "other mountains are dwarfed under the sky".

At first, I was in a good mood and sang Yimeng Minor: "Green mountains and green waters are good." Later, I began to sing "Why do I always get hurt? What did I do wrong? " Finally began to silence, silence, as for why? You know that.

Looking down the hill, human beings have become like ants in my vision, which is very interesting.

This sign stands on the top of the mountain leading to the baiji dolphin.

At this time, it is about 4: 30 in the afternoon. The sun was about to set, and the temperature plummeted. I put on thick clothes. All the way down, the wind whistled in my ear. After walking this mountain road, we arrived at Bletilla striata, and it was all dark.

The next morning, I saw the white edge in the embrace of the mountains. This township is very small, with three natural villages and about 2000 people under its jurisdiction. The villagers said that according to Lao Shu, the history of this village is about 1000 years.

Traditional crops are bamboo and tea. Now there are more tourists here, and some traditional things are disappearing, but on the whole it is a good thing. Tourism has brought extra income to villagers and improved their living standards.

Xiao Wang, the innkeeper, worked in Zhejiang in his early years, and now he has come back to travel. He recalled his previous history and felt a lot.

He said that before the connection of expressway, all families helped each other, whether it was weddings, funerals or hunting in the mountains. Everyone is equal in wealth and has no bad feelings. They eat, drink and fight together, so they are very happy.

Not now, some people who walk out of the mountains make money first and go home to build new houses. Their lives are richer than before, and the gap between villagers has widened, but they have become alienated. This really fulfilled that sentence: people don't suffer from poverty, they suffer from inequality.

Now more and more people know about baiji, and more and more people come here to play every year.

In the exhibition room, there are old items from decades ago.

Dusty years.

The documents of that year. It should be pointed out that I took these photos a few years ago, and now they may change a lot.

On the second day after I finished Baiji Road, I continued to ride my bike to finish the adjacent Shishi Highway in Shexian County, which was more difficult than Baiji Road.

Next: Crossing Baishi expressway.
