From Shaanxi to Sichuan

It is accidental and lucky to have the opportunity to work in Panzhihua. I started working at the end of last year 10, and this time I entered Sichuan for the second time with a worker's mentality. I have been to Guangyuan, Chengdu and other places before, but I have never been to the land of western Sichuan because of tourism. The climate is still very different from the land in Shaanxi.

I went to Panzhihua for the first time and flew. Depart at seven in the morning and arrive at Bao 'anying Airport at half past nine. Because I got up earlier in the morning and slept shallowly on the plane, my memory on the way was vague. My only impression is that the farther I go to western Sichuan, the better the weather is. I watched the morning glow pass through the clouds, covered them with golden tassels and shone on their wings, forming a sword of light and shadow. It took only two hours from haze to blue sky and white clouds. The security camp airport is built on the top of the mountain. This is a small airport with three planes. When I got off the plane, it was windy, and I didn't feel any warmth in this spring city. I didn't realize the power of the sun until I got back to the city by bus.

I went back to Shaanxi during the Spring Festival holiday. Due to the influence of coronavirus pneumonia, the date of returning to work has been delayed again and again. I can't visit relatives and friends, and I can't hang out. I stayed at home for a month.

The second time, this time it was go on road trip.

Out of Ann, take the Western Han Expressway, the sun is very good and the weather is very good. The Qinling Mountains are blooming all the way, and Wan Li is green. Open the window, cool in and warm in, warm in and ventilated in. This weather is really a good time for an outing. After entering Yangxian County, there are golden rape fields all the way. In front of and behind the house, the red tiles and white walls are surrounded by pieces of golden yellow, which has a fresh and refined taste. I just remembered that March is a good time to go to Hanzhong to see the sea of rape flowers. The scenery used to be familiar.

As we approached Chengdu, it began to turn cloudy, gray and low. I have been to Chengdu several times, and it is always like this. Rest in Liu Qing service area at night. In the evening, it began to rain lightly.

When I woke up in the morning, the rain stopped and the weather gradually improved. Pack your bags and head south.

The weather is fine and sunny. With the increase of altitude, the temperature began to drop, and it reached the Nishan Tunnel at ten o'clock. The total length of Nishan Tunnel exceeds 10km. The scenery at both ends of the tunnel is completely different. As the saying goes, a tunnel separates two worlds, one is an oasis and the other is a desert. I was amazed all the way before entering the tunnel. The vegetation on the mountain is very lush, with tall trees and large green bamboo forests. After coming out of the tunnel, there are bare hillsides, occasionally some Kobanawa shrubs grow, and large mountains are exposed in the air. This difference gives people the illusion of sitting in a time machine. Perhaps nature is so amazing that a mountain is divided into two climatic zones. Out of the Mud Mountain Tunnel, I obviously felt hot and began to take off my coat.

Soon we arrived at the Dadu River, and the Beijing-Kunming Expressway shuttled on both sides of the Dadu River, passing through Qinggangzui Dadu River Bridge and Guanyinyan Dadu River Bridge. Dadu River is sandwiched between canyons, with green mountains and green waters, and two red cable-stayed bridges stand out on the water. The water is wide and the current is fast. I can't help but think of the scene of "crossing the bridge and catching cold through iron" Finally, the Red Army did not suffer, and successfully joined forces in northern Shaanxi, and won the victory of "opening its face after the three armies". It's also an adventure, but one person is not so lucky. Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was defeated and died here. In front is the vast Dadu River, followed by the pursuers of the Qing court. Shi Dakai chose to surrender, killing more than a thousand soldiers. History is sometimes strikingly similar, but the ending is strikingly different. It's May and Dadu River, but the balance of fate is so red. The right time, the right place and the right people finally chose the winner and eliminated the loser.

Arrive at Tuowu Mountain at two o'clock in the afternoon. Tuowu Mountain is a dangerous section of Yaxi Expressway, and it is often difficult to walk on ice and snow. Fortunately, it was sunny when we passed twice. Mount Tuowu is about 3km above sea level. It is obvious that the car is cold, and then put on a cotton-padded jacket. You can also see the snow on the mountains on both sides of the road. When I came back, I rested in the Bodhisattva service area. The sky was clear in Wan Li, but it was freezing and the snow-capped mountains were very close. Under the sunshine, the mountain seems to be inlaid with Phnom Penh, which is beautiful. I originally planned to go to Hailuogou by the way, where there are snow-capped mountains, waterfalls and glaciers, snow-capped mountains and golden roofs, and pilgrims' holy places. I will continue next time.

After crossing the hump mountain tunnel, you arrive at Daliangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, which is obviously the feeling of coming to the south. As soon as we entered Xichang, the state capital, we saw a satellite standing beside the expressway, telling us that this is xichang satellite launch center, one of the four major space bases in China. Another thing worth mentioning is Windmill Valley. On both sides of the expressway, there are many large windmills in the fields, which are endless. The windmill canyon, that is, the crosswind area, obviously feels the direction deviation caused by crosswind when driving.

Walking into Panzhihua, Panzhihua can be seen everywhere. A tree trunk and branches, red and orange, become a solidified picture against the sky blue background. On this special day, I returned to this place with blue sky and white clouds. In spring, the wind on the salt surface is a bit strong. At about four o'clock every afternoon, they began to roar, and the hero flowers were destroyed by the wind. I picked up two flowers and went back to the office to look at the petals of Panzhihua carefully. They are generous and beautiful. After the flower falls, it will grow fruit, the fruit of life.

The journey under the epidemic is another experience. Although the journey is very tiring, it is also beautiful. Then, pitaya and mango will blossom and bear fruit. There are endless flowers and countless fruits here all year round. Looking forward to it one by one, welcoming it one by one.
