It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when our station wagon traveled from Xining to Zhuoer Scenic Area in Babao Town, Qilian County. After resting in a farmhouse for more than an hour, my son was so sleepy that he didn't want to go to Zhuo'er Mountain, so I had to go alone. I bought tickets at the gate of the scenic spot, including the scenic spot ticket to 60 yuan and the small traffic ticket to 80 yuan, 20 yuan. Get on the bus, 10 minutes or so, arrive at the entrance and start climbing the mountain.

In fact, the Zall Mountain Scenic Area has little ups and downs. When I first entered, there were two wooden plank roads, two flat grasslands on both sides, and the view was very broad. You can have a panoramic view. Wang Nan, known as Amidongsuo Mountain, is the sacred mountain of Qilian Mountain, with a panoramic view of the four seasons. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round, and it has been looking at the blue sky for thousands of years. On the back is the rolling Qilian Mountain, and at the foot is the Babao River, which slowly flows westward, carrying the sediment on the Loess Plateau like a yellow ribbon around Qilian County.

Zhuo'er Mountain belongs to Danxia landform and consists of red sandstone and conglomerate. In summer, the Zhuo'er Mountain, which is full of mountains and green hills, and the red sandstone of the broken ridge and steep cliff form a unique and unique style. The green rape field is not in full bloom yet. I walked slowly up the wooden plank road, at an altitude of about 3000 meters. I don't have any problems. In the afternoon, the bright sunshine shone on the charming grassland on the top of the mountain, and I couldn't help sitting in a piece of wolfsbane. It seems that the Daphne chamaejasme flowers here are not as lush as those on the grassland in Wang Ping. It may have been open for a while. Red has faded a little, but it still doesn't hide its mystery and beauty. Blue sky, white clouds, snow peaks, green hills, green grass, flowers ... Although I am alone at this time, it seems that all my melancholy has dissipated with the wind. Here, I am afraid that even the most affectionate and affectionate idiot in the world will be relieved at this moment. The world is the most bitter, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. Beautiful nature can finally melt all the depression, turn into a wisp of white clouds in the blue sky, and disperse with the wind.

The area of Zall Scenic Area is not large. Further on, it is a high beacon tower, commonly known as Xixia beacon tower, about 10 meter high. I climbed up with the tourists, and I could see the scenery of Zhuo'er Mountain in all directions. Raising my hand looks like a wisp of white clouds, and the blue sky is almost transparent. At the foot of the mountain is Babao Town, Qilian County, with buildings hidden among green trees. The goshawk flies in the air from time to time ... Further, there is a long wooden plank road extending to two couples in the distance. Although there are many tourists, there is no one on the plank road. I don't think it's far, so I walked along the long wooden plank road to two couples' spots.

There is a sad legend in Two Lovers' Point. The dragon princess lives in a wooden horse and falls in love with Amidongso, the god of Qilian Mountain. To this end, she is willing to violate heaven and break through many obstacles to marry him. But she also paid a heavy price and turned into a stone mountain, that is, this beautiful Zhuo'er Mountain, known as the beautiful and ruddy queen, and stayed with her lover forever. Looking up from the two lovers' point, opposite is the towering Amidongso Mountain, with an altitude of about 4,700 meters. The top of the mountain is covered with snow, which does not melt all year round. For thousands of years, they have been together, facing each other across the river, never leaving, and jointly guarding the beautiful Qilian Mountains. Legend has it that as long as you make a good wish with your lover in two of a kind, you will get an eternal and sincere love and stay with your beloved for life. I have been to lover's valley, crossed lover's bridge, drilled lover's hole and even crossed lover's river. Today, I climbed two more lover spots, but I have never been there with my lover. However, 20 years later, we are still together, and we never worry about separation ... it is actually very simple to love someone. Love goes with you, if you don't love it, just add warmth and don't add chaos. For my lover, too, if you don't give up, I won't leave …

There are several service points in the scenic area, including local snacks and drinks and local specialties. The price is a little more expensive, but the price is clearly marked, and children are not deceived. I spent more than three hours in the scenic area of Zall Mountain, and it was almost eight o'clock when I got back to my residence. My son and I ate two bowls of noodles at the farmhouse where we lived, bought some food at the nearby grocery store, and went back to rest. Tomorrow we will go to Chaka Salt Lake, which is one of the most beautiful lakes and is called "the mirror of the sky".
