The "three wonders" of Murzhai Valley are the seabuckthorn community, the wonders of the caves, and the neighing horses. It can be said: "Ecological wonders are hidden in the mountains, often accompanied by green trees and beautiful water. The maple leaves all over the mountains intoxicate tourists, praising the three wonders of Taoyuan."

The beautiful scenery hidden in the boudoir, Murzhai Valley, is located in Dawei Township, Xiaojin County Within the territory, it is adjacent to Shuangqiaogou, the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area, echoing the Jiajin Mountain, the first snow mountain that the Red Army crossed during the Long March, and is part of the Jiajin Mountain National Forest Park. It belongs to a branch of the Qionglai Mountains and was included in the "World Heritage" list together with Wolong Siguniang Mountain in July 2006. Before visiting Mulzhai Valley, I did very detailed homework and consulted relevant information to learn such details. Jiajinshan National Forest Park includes two scenic spots: the beautiful Mulzhai Valley and the red holy land Mucheng Valley. Among them, the Mulzhaigou Scenic Area consists of core scenic areas such as Lama Cave, Balpeng, Colored Stone Beach, Sea Buckthorn Sea, Dahongyan, Dacaoba, Shuicaoba, Pearl Lake, Niupengzi, Gaoshui Falls, Dragon Bone Snow Mountain, and Jiujia Sea. composition. The scenic area has beautiful natural scenery, with beautiful peaks and shrouded mist. The snow-capped mountains are majestic, the snow is abundant, and the springs are flowing together. It is the birthplace of Xiaojinchuan, a tributary of the Dadu River. Going upstream, you will see steep cliffs on both sides, deep gorges and secluded valleys, and gurgling streams. Jungles cover the sky and the sun, lakes are as clear as mirrors, waterfalls splash in the forest, and wild animals gather under the forest, forming a series of wonderful ecological natural landscapes.

The filming team accompanied the guide in the ditch and chatted while walking. "The total length of Mulzhai Valley is about 28 kilometers. The lowest altitude of Guangjin Dam at the mouth of the ditch is 2,780 meters. The highest altitude of Longgu Snow Mountain at the end of the ditch is 5,472 meters. The relative height difference is 2,692 meters. It is a typical alpine canyon landform." Hu Yiwu, the guide of the film crew Explain it to us in detail. "The peaks and mountains in our Mulzhai Valley are extraordinary. On both sides of the valley are extremely high mountains with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters and mountains with an altitude of 3,500 to 5,000 meters." Just as the guide said. The scenic area features alpine meadows, deep mountain canyons, virgin forests, snow-capped mountains and glaciers, Haizi streams, ancient maple trees, pastures hidden in the forests, and fat cattle and sheep. The mountains on both sides are steep and the canyons are deep and quiet, making people feel the greatness. The uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

After several hours of trekking, we arrived at the large lawn under Dahong Rock. We took a short rest and prepared to "add water and ingredients" to replenish energy. During the chat, we talked about the "Three Wonders" of Mulzhai Valley. There are so many companions traveling together.

A unique feature of Murzhai Valley is the seabuckthorn community. There are a lot of seabuckthorn trees in the ditch. They are very old trees with strange trunk growth, luxuriant branches and strong branches. They are of great ornamental and archaeological value. This place is named "Sea Buckthorn Community" because there are many sea buckthorn forests growing there. Some people call it "Sea Buckthorn Garden". Every autumn, the orange-red sea buckthorn fruits dotting the branches are even more attractive. According to research, sea buckthorn is rich in vitamin C and is known as the "King of VC". Local people pick and process seabuckthorn fruits. The main products include seabuckthorn crystals, seabuckthorn wine, seabuckthorn drinks, etc. Long-term drinking has many functions such as health care, medical treatment, and beauty. It is an ideal tourism and gift. There is a small scenic spot in the "Sea Buckthorn Community" called "Pearl Lake", a "barrier lake" formed by flash floods. It is very similar to the dead tree beach in Changpinggou in the Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area, except that the "dead tree beach" in Mulzhai Valley has more dead trees in different shapes, either high or low, lying and twisted, or straight and straight. At sunrise and sunset, the water surface is calm, reflections are reflected in the painting, blue sky and white clouds swim in the water, and the shadows of the surrounding trees are combed in the water, adding a bit of tranquil charm to "Pearl Lake".

The second unique feature of Murzhai Valley is the wonders of caves. On the hillside of Mulzhai Valley, there is a mysterious cave of great development value, which the locals call "Fairy Cave". According to an old man who entered the cave in the 1950s, the cave is more than 10 kilometers deep, more than 10 meters wide, and 5 meters high. There are many stalactites in the cave, with various shapes, some petite and exquisite, as if they have broken out of the earth. some are exquisite and elegant, like water lilies in bud; some are majestic and simple, quite like ancient palace columns; some are majestic, like waterfalls. Being in it gives you a feeling of "paradise". It’s true: “The stalagmites are about to fly into the sky, the stone milk is blooming in the snow. The stone eyes are thousands of miles away, and the stone sword is like a cold front.”

In addition to the “three unique” wonders of the Murzhaigou Scenic Area, there are also a large number of people gathered in the polar regions. Among the many lakes in the mountains, Jiujiahai is the most outstanding. Looking from a high place, Haizi is like a huge emerald embedded in the mountains. The lake surface is surging and sparkling. Looking closer, you can see strange rocks and fish, and the tender green and slender algae twist their waists, making people think. The mythical underwater world in "Journey to the West". As the sun sets, the surrounding woods and rocks, the blue sky and white clouds, and the rays of clouds reflect on the bottom of the water, creating a colorful pool. In the cold winter, when the sea freezes, it becomes a flat and hard natural ice rink where visitors can play on the ice. The snow has just fallen, the peaks are showing off, the mountains are washed by the clear snow, the lake is moistened by the snow water, the beauty is like a wipe, fresh and bright, just like the beautiful face of a beautiful girl with her hair in a bun.

Ridge Glacier, about 4,000 meters above sea level, is a modern keel glacier with an area of ??about ten acres. It is a treasure house of water resources for Xiaojinchuan, a tributary of the Dadu River. It moistens the mountains and waters of Murzhai Valley and benefits the generations of Mulzhai Valley. crowd.

Murzhai Valley is the area with the best preserved vegetation in the entire Jiajin Mountain, and is a virgin forest that has never been cut down. The main tree species in the scenic area include tall trees such as spruce, fir, hemlock, alpine cypress, alpine pine, red birch, and white birch, as well as understory plants such as rhododendron, honeysuckle, and rose. From ground-cropping plants and forest shrubs to tall trees, from deciduous trees to evergreen trees, from broadleaf forests to coniferous forests, the entire ecosystem is complex and complete. If you walk through the forest, you may pick up matsutake mushrooms, morels, black fungus, green leek and other wild fungi, which are rare and delicious mountain treasures. Precious Chinese medicinal materials such as cordyceps, fritillary, and rhodiola in the forest, as well as green mountain treasures such as matsutake mushrooms, morels, and black fungus under the forest, are also an economic source for local people to get rid of poverty and become rich. The ancient trees in the forest are towering, and their crowns are like green clouds. The filaments hanging on the branches are called "mountain noodles" locally and are the parasitic plant usnea. The "mountain noodles" hang down from a high place, like screens, hiding the ancient trees in the forest and the birds flying among the trees. This is a landscape that can only be seen in the primeval forests of alpine mountainous areas. The seasonal changes in the valley are very significant. It is lush green in spring and summer, colorful red leaves in autumn, and covered with silver in winter, which constitute the colorful four-season landscape of Murzhai Valley Scenic Area.
