Travel notes of red river valley

? Red river valley Forest Park in Meixian has been heard for a long time, but I have never seen her amorous feelings. Imagine that there must be beautiful natural scenery with mountains all over the world, forests all dyed and empty valleys deep; Or there really is a river, a red river, flowing leisurely from the valley.

The more curious I am, the more I want to find out. Today is a holiday, why not realize your wish? So we got up early, and the family drove to red river valley Forest Park 70 kilometers away.

? The blue sky, white clouds and all kinds of green plants pass by in a hurry, and the mood is as fresh as the morning air. Travel will always make our tired hearts as clear and relaxed as carefree clouds and anything that day.

? It takes about an hour to drive to red river valley tourist attractions. In front of me is the majestic Taibai Mountain. Looking up, I found a mountain on the left, a mountain on the right, a mountain in front and a mountain behind. I have unconsciously put myself into the arms of the mountains, so this red river valley is nestled in the swaddling clothes of these mountains? Medium. The mountains are covered with indigo, pine and cypress, and green vines. If you catch it, it will be few and far between. It will force your eyes to calm down and make your heart feel too comfortable to hold the green, leaving only pure joy.

As soon as I entered the gate of the scenic spot, I saw at a glance the introduction of the historical origin of red river valley on several large plaques, and I couldn't wait to solve the doubts still buried in my heart.

? It turns out that red river valley was called Gu Chi and Taibai Gorge in ancient times; Today's Wang Ba River is also called Jiaofang River and Red River. There are three versions of red river valley's name. Red river valley is named after Ya Dan, one of the eight scenic spots in Taibai. Legend has it that it was the result of Taibai Mountain's angry dragon slaying, and the river was dyed red with blood. On the other hand, during the Wei-Shu War of the Three Kingdoms, the Shu army went out of Qishan Mountain to attack Chang 'an, and fought in Chiyu, with heavy casualties and rivers of blood. Later, it was named Chiyu River, also known as "Red River".

Oh!

Sighing, my heart is full of doubts!

? Perhaps every natural place always has its mysterious humanistic legends and historical traces, and human beings will always give it rich cultural significance. It seems that without some humanistic colors, the scenery will appear superficial.

However, the legend is unconvincing after all. I read it carefully and found that from a scientific point of view, the name "Red River" should be closely related to "Red River Ya Dan", one of the eight scenic spots in Taibai Mountain. The rocks in the mountains and rivers here are all composed of Chuhong gneiss. As the sun sets, the sparkling crimson river flows, reflecting the rosy cliff, which is dreamlike and magnificent, hence the name "Red River".

It seems that if we can witness "Red River Ya Dan" today, it will be very happy that you came! It is said that there are still seven or eight kilometers from the foot of the mountain, so we have to drive slowly and see the scenery along the way.

The winding scenic road clings to red river valley like a snake. Both sides are mountainous and undulating, so it is difficult for the sun to shine directly. In dog days, the air here is cool, which is really a good place for summer vacation!

"Dad, look at the waterfall!" I went with my son's joy and fame. It's really not a waterfall, it's a swift water curtain. When we got off the bus, we stopped here to watch. I saw a winding stream, gurgling water, running happily among the strange stones, and the clear stream was rushing forward with a smile. For them, any rock is dangerous, which is not surprising. Sometimes they descend slowly, sometimes they fly and jump, and sometimes they jump from a height and splash a bunch of sparkling waves. That kind of joy is really indescribable, and they admire this life from the bottom of their hearts.

? The stream is crystal clear, and the fish and stones are delicate, so you can look straight. I stepped over the mang stone, squatted on a stone, picked it up with both hands, and the water fell through my fingers. Every drop seems to be sweet.

? Looking up, I saw the scene of water curtain. At the water curtain, the boulder is divided into two streams, the mountain opens two holes, the running water falls, and the hole hides behind the waterfall. Silver practice hanging, spray beads and splash jade. It ran down from the three-meter-high riverbed, forming a grand torrent. The impact made a loud noise on the rocks below. As it approached, the water mist came to my face, and my hair and eyebrows were instantly wet.

? On the left side of the water curtain stands a boulder with the words "double-hole water curtain" engraved on it. An arch bridge spans the sky above the boulder, and visitors can stand on it and overlook this magnificent scene. Strangely, on one side of the water curtain, stood a stone statue with a whip, solemn and solemn. I didn't understand, so I went to check the text introduction on the nearby stone tablet. It turned out to be a stone statue of Taigong. According to legend, behind the water curtain, there is a hole, which leads to Chang 'an in the east and Yongzhou in the west. In those days, Jiang Taigong abandoned his boat in the rain, so he went to Xidong.

Go further and you will see Hong Fei Waterfall. I saw 100-foot-high silver chain waterfall flying over the cliff, spraying down and splashing waves several meters high. Fine water mist floats leisurely in the valley under the caress of the sun, and tourists pose in various poses, making themselves the most intoxicated memories in this life under this waterfall. I have never been to Lushan Mountain, but now I can't help but think of Li Bai's poem "The sunshine incense burner is full of purple smoke, and the waterfalls in Qianchuan are hanging in the distance, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days". Perhaps there is no majestic momentum of Lushan Waterfall here, but it also makes people have infinite reverie. Everything in the world is fate. I think I will be with this mountain, this valley, this water and this tree.

Finally at the foot of the mountain, tourists flocked to it. The stream is gurgling and birds are singing. There are a pair of stone benches here and there, where tourists can sit quietly and enjoy the tranquility of the valley. Or lie down and watch the clouds roll and relax; Or squatting by the stone bridge; Or have a carefree childhood on the swing; Or stop and take pictures of this wonderful scenery with your mobile phone; Or a few people chatting leisurely? ...

Standing here, the impetuous heart will become quiet and serene, and the tired soul will be completely relieved and relaxed.

I was lost in thought, but I felt someone was patting me behind me. I turned around and saw an old man with white hair. It turned out that he asked me to help take photos of several of their peers. I readily agreed, and several old people were all beautifully dressed, but energetic, especially the elder sister wearing a pink silk scarf. She looked around one by one, and the smile on her face was as bright and dancing as the colorful flowers. The flow of life had nothing to do with vicissitudes of life. They shouted to meet on the glass plank road in Ya Dan, Red River, with more than 4,000 steps and an altitude of 2 kilometers. The old man left a deep impression on me.

Watching them hunch over and climb to the top step by step, I think this is probably the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen!

Go, climb up, Red River Ya Dan, I'm coming!

My son danced happily in front, step by step, and soon left my wife and me behind. There are not many tourists climbing the mountain, in twos and threes, some are up and down, and everyone's forehead is covered with thin sweat. Fortunately, the steps are winding in the deep valley and secluded forest, covered by trees, and the wind is gentle, blowing on the face as comfortable as a baby's hand rubbing his face.

? On the narrow mountain road, tourists walked side by side, strangers to each other, but they all smiled at each other. Those who go down the mountain nod to those who often go up the mountain. Come on! People who go up the mountain give thumbs up to people who go down the mountain, like it! At this moment, everyone seems to be allies, encouraging and supporting each other.

In less than half an hour, I was panting. The elder sister in front told her son not to climb the mountain too fast, but to climb one step at a time.

? Yes, isn't life a long and arduous climb? How easy is it to get to the top? Take your time. Step by step, we can continue to exert our strength.

? I stood halfway up the mountain and looked up, lush, and the sky was on the mountain peak, playing with it. Not far, as if I can touch it as long as I climb to the top of the mountain. I looked at the mountain, and it filled my eyes. The top of the tree swayed with golden light, and the leaves danced and rustled in the wind, as if whispering happily. On the mountain road, from time to time, little squirrels ran out of the Woods, with their small tails stuck high. When I saw the tourists, I was not afraid. I just looked around curiously and fled into the Woods.

After a long journey of more than two thousand steps, we finally lost our strength and decided to give up the summit. I didn't feel a little depressed when I went down the mountain. Maybe we are not fully prepared, but life is not enjoying this hearty climbing process. Next time, we must go to the top of the mountain we have climbed to have a look, and soon we will see the sky that is dwarfed by other peaks. ..

When I left, the sunset glow reflected the valleys, green mountains, green waters, Ya Dan, douwaterfalls, sacred stones and sea of clouds, and was covered with a bright red glow. Red river valley is beautiful to the extreme!
