Yichang, Hubei: Travel Notes of "Hundred Miles of Wilderness"

Chen Bo, the new media of the Three Gorges, edited "Fiona Fang is a hundred miles away", which is the origin of its name. Literally, it can be understood that this place is very remote and desolate Who wants to go to such a lonely place? Listening to the name is daunting.

I've heard the strange name bailihuang for almost 20 years. Bailihuang and Yichang, where I live, are not far away, but they are only tens of kilometers away. Because the winding mountain road leading to Bailihuang is extremely rugged, I have never been here.

In recent years, with the continuous strengthening of the country's economic strength, people's lives have also undergone tremendous changes, which has led to the upgrading of people's consumption concepts and lifestyles. People in cities are no longer satisfied with living in reinforced concrete. On weekends, they will take their families hiking, stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, go to beautiful places in rural areas and mountainous areas, breathe fresh air, eat farm food, live in farmhouse music, read books, fish, climb mountains in beautiful nature, barbecue with their families, camp in the wild and get in touch with nature, which has become the common sense of many families!

Therefore, it is natural to come to the wilderness! I have come to Bailihuang every year in recent years, sometimes more than once or twice. Sometimes I come skiing in winter and summer to escape the heat, and I "dock" with Bailihuang in different seasons. The seasonal scenery with great differences makes people relaxed and happy, and every time they come, they feel very different.

On the third day of the lunar new year, ask friends to meet and ski! It takes about an hour to drive to bailihuang. It's sunny today, with blue sky and sunny Wan Li. Looking directly at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1000 meters, I still feel a little warm. This warm but not scorching spring day is the best New Year gift that nature gives people during the Spring Festival.

It's cool, refreshing, very clear, as comfortable as mints, as comfortable as a proper cocktail, as smooth as fine chocolate but not greasy!

"The weather is beautiful." When you look up, you will see the blue sky without a trace of white clouds. This pure blue, this deep blue is so close to us, if your eyes stay too long, you will be fascinated by this blue and drown people, and this drowning will not bring you fear, but will make you willing to let go.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the parking lot outside the visitor center is full of large and small vehicles. People wear masks, most of them are family members, some are basking in the sun on the lawn at the north gate of Bailihuang University, and many people are posing in various poses to leave a silhouette of the Spring Festival! The children are running happily on the lawn, and there is explosive music from the stereo everywhere in the square. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, crowds surged. Where is Fiona Fang, a hundred miles away?

In the distance, the huge fan blades of the wind turbine rotate gently in the breeze, and the noise can be heard far away, which is shocking. In early spring, the mountains are covered with yellow weeds, which can be seen from the sky. In the rolling hills, only clusters of pine trees stand neatly like soldiers. Yellow weeds and green pine trees form a huge contrast between high and low and green. This completely different contrast is extremely harmonious!

The yellow weeds on the hillside are trimmed like a barber's short-inch hairstyle, and the scalp can see them! A closer look shows that the green shoots have slowly grown out of the weeds, which reminds me of the hexagrams in the Book of Changes. Although young, once the spring rain moistens them, they immediately turn into green lawns, with amazing growth power!

The place we are going to is a ski resort. We can choose to take the scenic shuttle bus or walk. In order to save time, we all choose to take the scenic shuttle bus. The shuttle bus galloped on the asphalt road in the scenic spot, and now you can see the newly built trail floating in the mountains like a long team. Many people are walking, feeling the excellent environment here, breathing negative oxygen ions and exercising. Laughter came and brought popularity to the quiet mountains.

When I arrived at the ski resort, it was already noon. People lined up here early. Although the ski resort is artificial ice, it does not hinder people's yearning for skiing. They all received ski equipment in an orderly manner with great expectation. Skiing instructions and wearing ski clothes are repeatedly played on the LED screen in the hall.

There are two slides in the ski resort, one is primary and the other is intermediate. The primary slope is relatively gentle and suitable for beginners. My girl and I had skating experience, so we went straight to the intermediate slide, put on our equipment and trudged through the snow, swaying like penguins, and soon the familiar feeling came to mind. Muscle memory is still relatively strong. We have learned a skill that we will never forget for years. We went to the top of the slope by a long transfer elevator, the girl and I.

I am not very interested in skiing. I mainly came to play with girls, so I only wore shoes twice, took things for the children and took photos of them skiing.

It is natural for children to play with snow. They climbed to the top of the mountain and slid down again and again. She and her friends like it. They are well balanced, so they slide down quickly but steadily, and their skills are becoming more and more skilled, which makes us really happy.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting "get out of the way" and quickly looked over. I saw a big man sliding down from the top of the slide quickly. Maybe he is too heavy, skates fast, loses his balance, and is afraid of bumping into others. He could only shout loudly, and many people dodged. I saw him walking forward for a while, leaning back for a while, stumbling and stumbling like a drunk.

As the sun sets, the children reluctantly bid farewell to the ski resort. The wind at night is a little cold, and the whistling wind will be taken to the clouds carelessly. I think if I can fly in the sky, I must chase the deep blue sky, overlook it at the top of the hundred miles wasteland, and feel the wonderful scenery of other mountains are dwarfed in the sky. !
