Travel notes of Niu Beiliang

? I will go to Niubeiliang on Saturday and wake up early in the morning. Today's weather is exceptionally good. Niubeiliang is a national 4A-level scenic spot, located in Zhashui County, deep in Qinling Mountains, with an altitude of 2,802 meters. However, this is a leisure-level spring outing, and we only intend to cross the Antelope Valley Scenic Area, one of the four scenic spots of Niubeiliang, and do not intend to challenge and conquer this 2802-meter Niubeiliang.

Out of Xi 'an, I crossed the short and long tunnels between the peaks of the Great Qinling Mountains, and finally came to this long-awaited Niubeiliang for about an hour. After waiting for a while to take pictures and buy tickets, the group came to the gate of this scenic spot.

After checking in, I felt a little cold as soon as I entered Taniguchi. Just now, the heat in the early summer outside the valley suddenly decreased, and the hot sun through the gap between the trees in the canyon seemed to lose the hot and dry atmosphere outside the valley.

After a short walk, the first one entered the Black Dragon Pool, with four pools and four waterfalls. It consists of four waterfalls and pools from top to bottom. Waterfalls are connected, just like a dragon descending from the sky. Black Dragon Pool is the largest pool in the scenic spot. It is said that dragons lurk, so people have been begging for rain here for thousands of years, hence the name.

After crossing the Black Dragon Pool, we entered the Hidden Bull Gorge. When I first entered Yinniu Gorge, a snake-like trickle rushed down from the high valley between the peaks on the left, passed through a secluded pool and slowly flowed into the big stream on the right. It is said that the Hidden Bull Gorge is a place where takins go into the valley when there is a lack of food in the upper reaches, and only when it is detected that the head cow is safe will they go out in droves for food, so takins will often haunt here.

After crossing the Hidden Cow Valley, we came to Hulu Gorge, which also has fascinating myths and legends. Here, you can marvel at the magic of nature. The towering mountains are just cut into gourd-shaped gaps from the middle. The narrow Gu Dao is sandwiched between fast-flowing streams. Looking up at the sky like a thin blue line, facing the boulder in the narrow canyon, you can't help but marvel at the artistic charm of nature again.

After crossing Hulu Gorge, a little further, a cool breeze suddenly swept through the valley at the corner, which was more pleasant.

Moving on, the cool mountain breeze caresses the skin, the clear and bright mountain spring flows in the ear, the trees rushed by the mountain torrents lie in the rumbling stream, in the middle of the cliff, Gu Teng washed down by the mountain torrents is inserted in the stream, the mottled blue sky overhead, the bright sunshine passes through the gap between the ancient trees and vines in Tingjun Mountain, the suspension bridge in the mountain stream, the waterfall falling in the air, and the cicada singing in the faint valley from time to time. At this moment, people who are out of the hustle and bustle of the city take a deep breath and breathe fresh air rich in negative ions in this primitive canyon jungle, which is refreshing.

About two hours' journey, after passing the waterfall of Longfeng Bridge, we began to have a rest.

At this time, thatched pavilions full of ancient rhyme occasionally appear along the valley. People sit quietly on the bench or meditate or enjoy the natural beauty, while women lie in the arms of their beloved men and enjoy the warmth of this moment. People sit and rest around stone tables and chairs, eating, drinking and laughing. Some of the children nearby are singing songs and dances learned in kindergarten, and some are singing self-directed programs. The butterfly children are showing their trophies, and everything seems so harmonious, leisurely and relieved. At this moment, people seem to forget to conquer the towering mountains and enjoy the scenery along the way leisurely. Here and now, you will realize that the meaning of happiness in life lies not in the end, but in learning to appreciate the beauty of scenery along the way. Only by learning to keep practicing and understanding life on the way can your life have a perfect ending.

After resting here for more than an hour, everyone is ready to go down the mountain and out of the valley. This group of people still walked all the way in the beautiful scenery, got carried away and unconsciously returned to Taniguchi, where other colleagues were waiting. After a short rest, everyone is ready to walk out of the valley.

As soon as I left Taniguchi, I suddenly felt that it was summer again. At this time of the day, in the afternoon sun, blue is more charming. On the left, the mountain wind blows the century-old white oak on the mountain, turning like waves, blue and white intersect, layer after layer, reflecting the blue sky behind the mountain and overhead, which is more and more exciting. Directly ahead, the tourists returning from the road walk slowly, and the white clouds rolling behind the distant peaks are in generate.

Blue sky, clear water, green hills, white clouds, and people returning, this scene seems to have gone away for a long time, making people reluctant to part.
