Riding Lijiang Ya 'an

At 8 o'clock in the morning, we set out from Jiu Township and crossed Mud Mountain.

Mud Mountain is located between Yingjing County and Hanyuan County in Ya 'an City, and its main peak is 3300 meters above sea level. It is the only way of G 108 line, and it is also the watershed of north-south climate. This is a mountain that many car drivers are afraid of. First, the altitude of the mountain is relatively high. The second is to implement traffic control in winter.

On the first long steep slope, a big truck stopped and drove down from the top of the mountain. From a distance, I saw a car wheel hub, which was smoky and accompanied by a thick smell of glue, and I could smell it from a distance. Several drivers are scrambling to splash water on the wheel hub with water from the plastic basin.

Meet beautiful Shuangxi and love romantic Taoyuan. Shuangxi Taoyuan is a "one village, one product" demonstration township of China White Peach.

On the sunny road, the scenery is infinite. Although we are very tired, we like it very much.

When we were resting in front of a mountaineer's house in the middle of the road, the peasant brother who was very kind to the guests, like welcoming an old friend of Huiranken, offered us a small stool to rest, carried a kettle to replenish water, offered a cigarette to make a fire, and then carried a basket to the back of the house to pick fresh plums for us to taste.

Although I missed the season of tasting white peaches, I tasted the seasonal jade emperor plum, which was cold and refreshing, and the warm heart was filled with a sweet taste.

Hanyuan Zanthoxylum bungeanum has a long history. It was listed as a tribute in the Tang Dynasty, hence the name "Gongjiao". Because of its bright red color, large grain and heavy oil, rich aroma and mellow taste, it is known as the soul of Sichuan cuisine and the first of all flavors.

Now is the season when peppers are ripe. Along the way, there is always the fragrance of fresh peppers in the air, which is particularly refreshing and refreshing.

The ancient city of Qingxi was built in Tang Gaozong Daye for three years (AD 607), with a history of 1396. It is the most important post station on the ancient southern Silk Road, and a large number of buildings in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties are still preserved in the city. Qingxi Ancient Town is a famous windy city, which is as famous as Ya 'an Rainy City, and is known as "cool breeze and elegant rain".

The biggest highlight of Qingxi ancient town is that the most complete preserved historic site is Qingxi Confucian Temple, which shows that the mountain city is full of worship and education, and the atmosphere of ploughing and rain reading is prosperous.

In ancient times, Qingxi shouldered the heavy responsibility of rejecting Tibetans in the north and resisting foreigners in the south. All previous dynasties were important military cities. However, today's Qingxi obviously no longer has such a mission. Residents of the ancient town, who have little contact with the outside world, live a leisurely daily life with the mentality of eliminating pesticides for the people.

Over the years, in the dilapidated old streets, I have seen many wooden doors sandwiched between walls and falling into quadrangles. I can hardly see any traces of business, and I can't even find a small restaurant that can barely satisfy my hunger.

It was nearly lunch time when we rode to a car more than 0/0 kilometers away from the top of the mountain, so we begged the old lady to cook three bowls of noodles for us.

When cooking noodles, we took some pictures of animals and plants.

While we were eating noodles, we saw two handsome guys riding horses on a distant slope.

A nap in the Woods, we know each other from the dialogue. They are two cyclists in Changning, Yibin, Jiangsu and Suzhou. They used to ride the new Tibet line together. This time, Yibin Shuai went out of business, and Suzhou Shuai resigned and rode the G3 17 line to Tibet. Such like-minded and enterprising riders are really rare!

After lunch, we continued climbing with two riders we met.

In such a scorching hot weather, a group of people who like to fight against the heat and high temperature in go on road trip actually set up camp on the roadside and buried pots to cook.

As the western proverb says, powerful people never peek at what cards God has in his hand.

Climb mountains and cross mountains, overcome difficulties, and finally we will successfully rush to the top with perseverance!

"There is no road longer than feet, and there is no mountain higher than people." Daxiangling mountain pass at an altitude of 2265 meters, here we come!

After crossing the Daxiangling Pass, we started a long downhill.

Two big stones with different shapes stand side by side along the road that divides the two counties, and the same sentence is engraved in two different calligraphy fonts: home is in a cool breeze and elegant rain. Its intention is nothing more than to emphasize that this place is not only a watershed of climate, but also a special geographical position at the junction of two counties.

Beautiful Hua, the spirit of nature.

From the downhill of Daxiangling at the top of Mud Mountain to the fork in Siping Township, we bid farewell to two riders who met by chance and took good care of each other. Because their destination is Sanhe Township, they will cross Niubei Mountain to Kangding tomorrow.

"Jianghu fish noodles, people forget Taoism." During the break, I suddenly remembered a very sad sentence in Zhou's Anti-Travel and Gathering: it is easiest for people to feel life when traveling alone, because in the end, life is nothing more than traveling alone. Gathering and parting is a common thing in life, but it is also embarrassing enough. The saddest thing is, it's normal when you're not here. Unexpectedly, meeting again is farewell. Still young, goodbye is bald, like a mirror to each other, instantly reflecting the ruthless passage of time.

I thought I could get to Ya 'an early today and meet two buddies of my old classmates and old comrades-in-arms who I haven't seen for a long time. However, at dusk, we were still riding on the road between Siping Township and Huatan Town, which was all messy and laborious.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, we went to Yingjing County for dinner by bus.

Yingjing was called Yandao in ancient times. Yingjing Shawa has a long history of more than 2,000 years with its unique raw materials, unique production methods, unique appearance and unique efficacy, and is known as "the first hometown of Shawa in China".

Most of the sidewalks in the street where we passed by bike were selling pottery pots.

"Born less than a hundred years old, often pregnant with chitose. The days are short and the nights are long. Why not travel by candlelight? " At 8 o'clock in the evening, we started riding Ya 'an at night.

Along the way, we met many local cyclists returning to Yingjing County, which is the second city to see the most local cyclists after Xichang City.

It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue. Although it was night, the high temperature residual heat subsided slowly, and we continued to push the slope like cowboys.

Every day when I ride to my destination, I will only rewrite the place name to my wife by SMS, and then report the news of safe riding in a "formatted" way.

I rode my bike to Ya 'an downtown at midnight 1 1: 30 today. The wife who plays mahjong and receives the early shift sends a message asking, "Why is there no movement today?" I immediately replied to the news as quickly as writing dynamic news: "This station has just received news that the three-person trip has just safely ridden to Ya' an city. Everyone always thinks that this is the longest distance, the most ramps, the longest time and the most difficult ride. "
