Walk into Zhagana

On the evening of July 20th, 2065438+08, 35 people from Huaihua Free Wind Outdoor boarded the westbound train and embarked on a pleasant journey through Zhaga on foot.

2 1 Arrive at Min County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province at 6 pm. On the 22nd, I chartered a car from Min County, crossed Lazikou Natural Barrier on the way, and arrived at Zhagana Village, Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture around 1 in the afternoon.

Zhagana Village is located 34 kilometers northwest of Diebu County. In Tibetan, Zagana means "stone box". The village is about 2900 meters above sea level and consists of four natural villages: Dali, Tiba, Yeri and Dongwa. The village is surrounded by peaks, high rocks and high walls. The whole Zhagana mountain area is interlaced with plateau snow-capped mountains, canyons, forests and grasslands, and the scenery is extremely magnificent. 20 10 was selected as one of the "Top Ten Unfamous Peaks in China" in chinese national geography.

As early as 1925, the British explorer Joseph Charles Francis Rock came to Diebu and was attracted by the natural scenery here. He wrote in his diary at that time: "I have never seen such a beautiful scenery in my life. If; The author saw the beautiful scenery of the overlapping part and will put the birthplace of Adam and Eve here. "

The Tibetan villages in Gannan are different from those in Tibet and western Sichuan, which may be due to the multi-ethnic environmental influence, whether it is the architectural paradigm or the religious atmosphere. The building is not that thick, and it is rare to see flags flying everywhere and mani piles of different shapes. At present, the village has basically maintained its primitive and quaint landscape. But generally speaking, the villagers' house reconstruction and expansion for tourism lacks unified planning, design and management, and does not pay attention to the transformation of the original village style. Some buildings have also destroyed the landscape features of the original Tibetan village, which is not as fresh and eye-catching as the transformation of the Tibetan village in Jia Xi, Sichuan. At present, the road reconstruction in the village is a bit messy, with mud and infrastructure materials everywhere. Upon inquiry, it is expected that the road reconstruction of the whole village will be completed before the end of the year, when the whole village will become more comfortable and tidy. At present, there is no charge for scenic spots, but the village environmental sanitation charges 10 yuan. However, judging from the scale of the scenic service area under construction near Yiwa Township Government, it may not be too far away from the implementation of charges.

Our tour guide is called Sangnao, a simple and capable Tibetan middle-aged man. Our team is very large. Sang Nao also invited two honest villagers to bring the equipment and utensils of 24 people except our 9 heavy soldiers to share the reward of this trip. Along the way, Sangnao and his companions dutifully took the road to cook for us. Although the aluminum pot used for cooking on the first night was broken, we southern cereal eaters couldn't eat a bowl of rice for four days, but we still ate hot beef mutton soup noodles every meal to satisfy our hunger and replenish our strength.

? After crossing, Sangnao has been sending us to Min County. He said that it was one of the few times in his years as a tour guide that the weather was very good and we enjoyed the most beautiful scenery in Zhaga. At the same time, it also tells us that Zaga is still poor today and hopes that more tourists and donkey friends will come to his hometown. He wants to improve the life in his hometown through their efforts and live a happy life with no worries about food and clothing and dignity.

? Heartfelt thanks to Sangnao and his partner for accompanying him all the way!

? Sincerely pray that Zhaga's tomorrow will be better! ! !

After going home for a few days, my heart has been immersed in the simple, pure, cool and magnificent landscape of Zhaga. I am also more eager to find a paradise like Zhagana, listen to cicadas, watch sunrise and sunset, eat a simple meal, indulge in mountains and rivers and spend the rest of my life!

Zuimei zhaga' na ......

At 8: 00 am on July 23rd, a four-day hiking trip through Zagana's no-man's land began. Along the Taodie Ancient Road, it is 65 kilometers from Zhagana Village, Yiwa Township, Diebu County to Dayugou, Zhuonimuer Town.

This is a beautiful high-altitude hiking route with towering peaks, deep canyons, dense forests, lush grasslands and flowers. Against the backdrop of rain, fog, sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, each mountain peak and valley has different beautiful scenery. Different shapes of karst mountains and the top of Danxia all exude a strange spirit. Walking in the mountains paved with flowers is like being in a fairyland on earth. The hiking route is not difficult. Although it passes through nearly 20 high-altitude passes, the overall road conditions are relatively gentle, with sufficient water sources and pure and sweet water quality. Due to the route arrangement, the intensity of hiking in the first two days is still relatively large.

Team leader, there is nothing to worry about. This is the most beautiful hiking route he has walked since he was outdoors. We all feel very glad that you came, donkey friend, and we are even more impressed on the road. We want to build a wooden house among the green mountains and green waters, settle down and enjoy the drunken beauty.
