The magical Jiuzhaigou

What is the meaning of travel? Is it just for fun, to relax from work, or is it the "travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books" that we have always pursued. I once remembered this sentence - "Leaving the ordinary days is the meaning of traveling far." Ordinary days are too samey and boring. In this way, we look forward to a long trip from time to time, hoping that the trip will inject vitality and add a touch of color to our lives. Of course, the various forms of life are destined to be colorful on the road of travel. The changing seasons are destined to bring about strange changes in the scenery during the trip. Last year’s trip to Jiuzhaigou left an unforgettable impression on me.

The autumn sunshine was soft and charming, and we embarked on the road to Jiuzhaigou with a bright mood.

When the car entered Longquan Mountain, the vast and flat Chengdu Plain appeared in front of us. The lush earth and the endless and hazy polar lines tell us that the country known as the Land of Abundance lives up to its reputation for thousands of years - fertile and plump, rich and humble. The car gallops on the broad plain, just like a horse galloping on the vast grassland, and like a bird soaring in the blue sky. The joy of life is the wind in the ears and the trees passing by in front of the eyes.

After passing Dujiangyan, the terrain slowly becomes steeper. The highway is constantly weaving in and out of tunnels, one tunnel after another, which means that the previously flat road surface has ended. The winding road is like a white hada, lying crouched among the mountains. After entering Mianhui, the temperature dropped suddenly. The road is located at the foot of the mountain. We can no longer see the sun. Only when we look up with difficulty, we can occasionally see the sun slanting on the mountainside. We look gloomy in the misty fog. We tighten our tight clothes, A chill filled my heart. There are exposed broken stones of various sizes on the mountain, which may crack and fall at any time. There is no green color on them.

A sense of barrenness and desolation.

When we arrived in Jiuzhaigou, night had fallen. On this "plateau" far away from the hustle and bustle, we experienced the different coldness of the plateau. In the eighth lunar month, the coldness penetrates the skin at night.

The weather was very good the next day. The sunshine on the plateau showed its smile early, with a cold light on the top of the mountain, "still holding a pipa half-covering the face", shy and shy. We arrived at the gate of Jiuzhaigou, which was already crowded with people. We got on the sightseeing bus and walked into Shuzhenggou along with the surging flow of people. Along the way, we captured the unique beauty of Jiuzhaigou with a solemn mood. We looked forward to...

"Ah!" Someone yelled in surprise. We followed the direction of our fingers and saw a wave of light. The sparkling lake appeared in front of everyone. This is a small lake called the Bonsai Sea. The water is crystal clear and green plants grow in the lake. From a distance, it looks like a "big bonsai" embedded in the heart of the earth. The sun shines on the lake, the water is sparkling and radiant. A breeze blows, and a refreshing fragrance comes to your nostrils. This is the green plants on the plateau wrapped in sunlight particles, mixed with the clean air sent by the water vapor on the lake surface. We couldn't help but take a deep breath greedily.

As the crowd moved slowly, the Reed Sea, Shuanglong Sea, and Wolong Sea appeared in front of us one after another, well-proportioned and magnificent. Some of the water is covered with jagged reeds, standing proudly on the lake, majestic; some of the lakes are criss-crossed with the "trunks" of thousand-year-old trees,

Dead trees or lying on their backs, Or lying down, with different postures; some lakes are filled with soft water plants. Under the ripples of the water, they twist their soft bodies and are graceful. Almost all the lakes are dark blue, which is a blue we have never seen before. It is so pure, so deep, and so blue that it is breathtaking. There are countless swimming fish in the water. They swim back and forth happily, adding infinite vitality and interest to the plateau lakes.

Suddenly, we heard the sound of rushing water. We looked up and saw a white waterfall "appearing" among the dense vegetation. We arrived at Shuzheng Waterfall. Everyone approached the waterfall excitedly. The width of the waterfall was long, but it was divided into small waterfalls by stones and plants covered with moss. Waterfalls that looked like hundreds of thousands of years of practice flew down and hit the rocks. Beads were splashing everywhere, and we walked through the water drops, feeling the cool caress of the water mist, and experiencing the implicit warmth and tenderness of Jiuzhaigou.

We came to a higher place not far from the lake. When we looked up, we saw a clear blue sky with white clouds drifting between them. Under the sky, there are towering green mountains. They all reflect their charming faces in the blue lake. From the sky to the lake, the whole thing is a piece of transparent crystal. This is an astonishing landscape painting "drawn" by nature itself. Light and shadow, density and lightness, light and darkness are naturally harmonious and mutually beneficial. We were immersed in the picturesque scenery, and infinite joy surged in our hearts...

The primeval forest behind us was a different kind of cave...

"Don't look at the mountains when you return from Huangshan, but don't look at the mountains when you return from Jiuzhaigou." Don't look at the water." Or "There used to be no water in the sea, but nothing but clouds except Wushan." The mountains of Huangshan, the water of Jiuzhaigou, and the clouds of Wushan are the "fairyland on earth" and "Penglai Fairy Pavilion" gifted to mankind by nature, and the world is fascinated by them. , intoxicated and admiring.

In the evening, we walked into the Tibetan house and followed Tibetan customs. We drank highland barley wine and ate large pieces of yak meat in curiosity and excitement, and learned about Tibetan customs and habits. Amidst bursts of laughter and singing, we slowly became emotionally close to this nation, and also experienced the straightforwardness and forthrightness of this nation...

This trip was different from the past. any time. Because of self-driving, we have plenty of time to walk into nature and mountains and rivers in a leisurely manner. In the affectionate embrace of mountains and rivers, we listen to the true voice of our hearts - traveling is to leave the ordinary days and experience Different from regular life, experience the unknown natural scenery ahead.
