On the morning of August 4th, we bid farewell to Qingmuchuan and drove west from Ningqiang County, passing Guangyuan and Zhouqu. We originally planned to spend the night in Zagana by 10 hour bus. Considering the physical condition of the team members, Li Laoda temporarily decided to stop at Guan 'egou, Tanchang County, Longnan City for a short rest. In this way, we had a sweet relationship with the stunning beauty caring dog.

The name "Guan E" makes me curious. Baidu found that Guan 'egou was called "Guan 'e" during the Wanli period in Ming Shenzong, where the Qiang people lived, and the word "Guan 'e" was translated into "Canyon" in Qiang language. Considering that the name "Guanju" has a derogatory meaning in Chinese, the homonym was renamed as "Guanju" dog, and that's it.

Guan 'egou National Forest Park, located in Gannan, is mainly composed of Guanzhugou, Egangou, Mulonggou and Miaogou. More than 3,000 Tibetans and Qiang people live in Guan 'egou, which integrates forest landscape, grassland landscape, landform landscape and water landscape. Lakes are like pearls, canyons are like lines, waterfalls are like weaving, and the ecology is beautiful and the landscape is strange.

In the afternoon, we walked along the canyon, crossed the small lakes with different postures, explored the source against the current, and entered the Tian Tong Canyon Scenic Area.

Tian Tong Canyon, with its linear canyons and woven waterfalls, is very spectacular. You see, that "Tiger Whistling Waterfall", the waterfall is crashing out from the height of the cliff, flying down, roaring like thunder, magnificent, magnificent;

"The three waterfalls have the same rhyme", and the waterfalls fall from the heights of the valley layer by layer, just like a song "Running Water in the Mountains" swirling in the empty valley;

Guane Waterfall, a huge white clear water column, suddenly gushed out from the cliff hole and flew down. The water column hits the rock wall, and the water drops splash like fairies. ...

Waterfalls roar, water mist rises, and it is amazing to watch waterfalls in the valley.

The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, with only blue sky and white clouds. After visiting Tian Tong Canyon, there was a lot of thunder and rain. Going down the mountain in the rain, the mountain breeze is blowing gently, the water mist is lingering, the water is gurgling, and the coolness attacks people. It has a unique taste.

In the evening, we stayed at the official residence hotel in the mid-levels of Lake Sandy. The environment is very quiet and the room is very clean. We can see the panoramic view of the lake by opening the window.

In the evening, there are still 20 minutes before the farmers start eating. We walked around the river and took some photos.

Look, is every painting a landscape painting?

?

We took a hot bath and fell asleep amid the roar of streams and waterfalls. The next morning, we woke up in the tinkling of the spring, the crowing of chickens and birds, and started a new day's journey.

The destination this morning is Yigangou. Yesterday, I closed Egou mainly to see the Canyon Waterfall. Nowadays, the characteristic scenery of Egou is Guanshan Lake, with different styles and strong points.

? Entering Egangou Scenic Area, you can walk up the mountain road, about five or six kilometers. There are dozens of landscape lakes with different postures on both sides, such as Yishou Lake, Egangou Lake, Jinyang Lake and many other lakes, with beautiful scenery.

Although Guan 'egou lacks the majestic momentum and colorful colors of Jiuzhaigou, its unique natural ecology, water surface landform, peaks and astronomical phenomena are pleasing to the eye.

High mountains come out of Pinghu, and clear water reflects blue sky. Mountains overlap, valleys crisscross, waterfalls splash, lakes are clear, trees are swaying ... the strange mountains and strange waters in Guan' egou are dizzying. Tourists are in it, full of fun and relaxation.

Some people say that Jiuzhai returned without looking at the water. But I think Guan 'egou is still worth a visit after I have been to Jiuzhaigou.
