Shu-line Star over China I have always liked travel, really walked a lot of places, swimming across a lot of scenic spots. This time Ru Shu trip is the longest I plan to prepare the most adequate one. The run-length of Jiuzhaigou - Huanglong - Leshan - Emei is a lot of tourist routes in the classic line, but also my access to large amounts of data, the decision was made after carefully selected. Their expectations high, it goes without saying.
The very tight itinerary, we have arrived in Chengdu on the 25th night 11 o'clock, 7 o'clock the next day they ride to Jiuzhaigou. At first, the line arrangement is the first recreational mountain Emei, the latter to Jiuzhaigou Huanglong. God intends to be teasing, long-lost rain rain-soaked day in Chengdu. Guide no alternative but to this day to hurry to get somewhere.
As the main trunk line traffic jam, we temporary taking a devious route. Although it is quite bumpy, but I has not the slightest displeasure, but secretly Qiexi. I remember five or six years ago by car from the Liao Ru Shu, wrong from the Qinling Mountains to climb over the highest point, although the tough but fun-filled journey distant memory is still fresh. There is a saying that well, some of the error if you do not commit, is the greatest mistake. Due to an error, you embark on another should not be an original way to go and enjoy the taste of another should not have the taste, though not necessarily beautiful, can, after all kinds of trying to - I always think that feeling too, and that is worthwhile.
See a local real customs, go to the city will not be a big harvest. Today's urban development has become increasingly a lack of personality, all-steel and concrete jungle. If someone out of thin air landing in a city, he probably hard to tell is to have the Shanghai or Shenzhen. The villages are often retains a small town more local flavor. Therefore, someone else will soundly when the Duke of Zhou, but I carefully observed the car's opening their eyes swept out of the window from time to time a small village.
The most intuitive local features most evident in the residential areas on the. Homes do not take the high ground, nor spacious and bright, as if pressing a bit of a matchbox, one by one in a crowd. Interestingly, the house is so stingy, they used to hang a plaque. I see a pigeon-like plaque on the house screamed "Dong-woo brilliant", could not help laughing. Although the loss of the primitive, can be in such a gray misty rain, there is such a wide-brimmed low wall of the hut and lintels pitched sideways Black Lands of the plaque, close to the goal post on some faded red paper couplets, hanging under the eaves with some You recognize unclear Wu Shi Qing recognize the door and then sitting in a face gully aspect alone, he hears is silence of the elderly, a touch of Shu Feng Shu Yun will come out naturally smudges or bleeding.
This road along the Minjiang River upstream, as it winds in the mountains in the circle. This river has been accompanied in our Shence the way the Pentium, all the way song and. The main tributary of Minjiang River, one of the Yangtze River, the famous water conservancy project on the construction of Dujiangyan, on the Minjiang River. Overlooking Dujiangyan, I can not help but admire the courage and wisdom in their ancestors. Weir dam to guide the majestic rolling Minjiang River water Hennessy avoid disaster, moisture year-round irrigation, fertile Chengdu plain beautiful. Sichuan to enjoy, "Land of Abundance" reputation, with the Guyan played a major role are inseparable. Until today, the role of Dujiangyan are still irreplaceable.
Rain has always been the next. Minjiang River water in the heaven of the water under the exceptionally excited about the temptation to active. The passage of days and the rain curtain down on the one hand calling him on the one hand into his ample body of his strength. Minjiang blood boiling, jump over the possession of the rain into the Wye, in response to the call of the days of water. The river of the Tianshui, Tianshui the river, dihydrate into one, even more great momentum, soul-stirring.
Against the river is very interesting pieces of matter, as if seeking a feature-length masterpiece against the original idea, more like a giant's growing back. Saw him back from the forceful boundless passion for middle-aged, middle-aged, and then gradually to the lively and cheerful childhood, finally back to the young toddler. No matter what stage, he would draw more power as much as possible. The sky falling raindrops, the mountains flow down the stream, he generosity, hard to grow. "Jianghai not the small streams and it can become its deep," long overripe in the chest, once said specific scenes so vivid show in front of you, can not help but feel a shock.
Winding road in the mountain valleys in the extension. At the foot of a rolling Minjiang, the two sides are Jueya cliff. This gray tape so indefinitely extended, as if endless. Here, the mountains can no longer use the "Block" This kind of quantifiers and replace it with "layers", "film." Each mountains look very much the same, only a slight change in the mountains on the ups and downs, but they are the same high and steep tall and straight. The mountain forests Mimicengceng looked simply no climb. Keren resilience and creativity, after all, an inestimable, slope trend has slowed down the mountain, it was drilled into a piece terraces, and some even dug into the hillside above, people could not help but worry that the farmers how to sow, but also how to harvest . Seeing to all this, I recall the first time to travel long distances into the River scenarios. This is advantageous in many sections than in the more volatile multi-views are. However, in general style is the same, there are cliffs, overlooking the deep valley, is the same heavily upon layer of mountains. Good-bye Cijing at the moment, could not help but felt a familiar and cordial.
Sichuan, the already warm and humid climate, vegetation flourished, a great amount of mountain water, coupled with colorful rain at this time, water vapor is more abundant. High mountains, dense forests at it from time to time to gather up a group clouds, rising and moving slowly drift. The cloud just to leave, He would fog of Health, the whole Bishan Chui Ling, Bai Yun Shou suddenly gather suddenly scattered, misty like sen. Like modesty Phi young woman on the shoulders of light chiffon, obsequiousness and moving. Only expressions of human weaver again Coincidentally, after all, not so woven shades are caused by the yarn material, but also weaving not see this as an attractive charm Brisk. Wan Shan, on-line at this time was somewhat like clouds, and floated up the feeling of want sen.
Qiang way through the residential areas, tour guides and a brief description of the Qiang's "looting marriage" customs, that is, Which boy fell in love with the girl, they like to take it does not prepare its way back in the back ran back to their homes, by the way can not be stopped, otherwise the girl that the boy would be strong enough, not smart enough courage, they will run their own home, also forget about the young man marry a wife to go home.
Qiang is the original religion of worship, namely, that the mountain the mountain god, the river has He Shen, and never easy to offend the gods, the objective has also served to protect the ecological environment effects. In particular, they worship the white stones, that they can bring good fortune good luck, so Qiang houses a number of white stones on the Crimping. Their house is also very interesting, mostly divided into three layers, the bottom of raising livestock, living among people, the top for drying purposes.
Approaching evening time, mountain around to a higher office. Yamashita is the two Great Lakes, it is the accumulation of water into the Minjiang River. Strange child of Minjiang River water, regardless of flow size, all the way torrents very acute diffuse into the shallows never seen a time when slow flow, this was a sudden stop. A huge lake, microwave out of fashion, level as a mirror. More surprising is the water color green, and never the same as ordinary water. General lake itself has no color, only because of accumulated together and showing a faint yellowish color Fanqing. However, if the lake is inherently colored, and it was pure green clear and bright, like a huge emerald into the valley. Amazing. Tour guide explained that the season is called the sea, a major earthquake in a particular year the mountain moving river shift, overnight, the lake suddenly Health. Montagnards called the lake as "Haizi", according to tour guide said that this is because the Montagnards too far from the sea, life rarely seen, but ignored the sea fascinated, so that the mountain lakes as "Haizi", taking "son of the sea," was intended.
At this point has been in the road, about a day, tour guides tell you that serious friction tire dealers mountain, the temperature is too high, to be car-washing water spray to cool here, please get off temporarily take a break and then hurry to get somewhere. Such a thing when I used the Qinling has also been encountered, or else from time to time to spray water on to the tires cool down. To save time, some long-distance truck invented a device, in the four wheels are filled with the top of the tank, need to be pulling a switch, water flows down automatically scouring tires. Because the water with the mountain, walking, replenishment is not a problem. Occasionally, one could also see a special car wash. Jiuzhaigou Valley is a newly developed tourist routes, due to dangerous road facilities are not very perfect, mostly residents in the villages along the way their organization's business activities. In the larger villages all over the vicinity of a rudimentary form a "commercial." Obviously, this season the sea is one of the more important to stay sites, there are several specialized car wash, passing vehicles stopped to wash most of some. Are also some mountain swing-up stalls selling local products sundries, like what Ma pepper, mountain vegetables, mushrooms and so on. We continue to turn a lap, did not see anything interesting things. Back to the car to sit down soon, accompanied by a companion holding a stick and corn (known locally as "corn") up on the one hand side bite out: "guide, which is not corn sugar boiled out, and it's sweet呀! "tour guide with a smile to deny that the mountain water and soil is different from the local residents are engaged in potato as the staple food maize, which is the springs to irrigate corn, but also non-polluting, the sweet taste of this. Curiosity from the moment I want to taste that taste like honey-like sweet corn, gradually bought off a stick, turned out sweet and very, inevitably praised surprised about that.
After a short stay, we proceeded to embark on the journey. Longer follow the section of the road, the valley of the houses display a different kind of style. Mountain people are using local resources, using tree trunks as pillars, pebbles for building materials, loess water mixing what became adhesives. Such a simple raw material actually can be Dacheng a seat two-story small building on the first floor with pebbles Lei Cheng walled into a closed space, two-story simply prop up a tree trunk Jigen roof, no walls on all sides, most of them to put some The type of wood debris on the first floor was occupied. Although very simple, but it is also unique.
At dusk the sky, we suddenly found the roadside showed a line of flags by color, shape, somewhat like the kind of rectangular senki the Three Kingdoms period, colorful, fluttering in the breeze. A closer look also find the top full of black symbols. This tour guide told us that cars have approached Tibet, which is a Tibetan flags "streamer." Believe in Tibetan Buddhism there are three kinds of chanting methods, namely, "mouth chanting," "water, chanting," "wind chanting." I recite the sutras, is the traditional way, but people always want to work, can not always recited the scriptures. Pious people have come up with instead of people chanting to the water and wind approach. They scripture written on turntable placed in water, water dish turn, is equivalent to reciting verses of the. Wind chanting is what we have seen this streamer would be written in the scripture above, the wind once again go through the equivalent of chanting scriptures. This streamer is a collector of handwoven cloth made of hand-made, color is also a Tibetan dyed with natural pigments themselves, and after several decades, or even a hundred years will not fade. Streamer is inserted where there is stress, and inserted to pray for bumper grain harvest in the fields are planted in pasture grass on the hope that horses, cattle and sheep thrive. The plug on the roadside, as is the prayer in the past guests have a pleasant journey.
Sure enough, and then move forward, streamer gradually more, will not, can have see some temples. Sometimes out of the phenomenon of street towers the same as White Tower, is also surrounded by a streamer with legislation, I guess it is probably the tomb of a class of things. Tibetan burial customs can be, perhaps the monks of the pagoda bar!
Although straight-line distance from Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou is not too far away, can spin all the way in the mountains in the day to go down, but also could not reach the destination. Sky getting late, and then had to hurry before Zhuyi Ye. Under the car to get here, we discovered that actually very cold summer Usugi shorts simply can not keep out the cold. Check the data, I also saw a big temperature difference between day and night, Jiuzhaigou, it is necessary to remind the multi-band clothes, thinking that the heat of summer, cold and cold to be where, with striped trousers is enough. It did, it would cool to such a degree. No alternative but had to put on the provisional bought pieces of cotton-padded clothes.
The next day when on the road at six o'clock the sky is still dark. Sichuan Province due to its geographical location, darkness of late night is also bright. Sun has been reluctant to appear, which days were often it rains, the mountains very heavy fog, but also feel cold pressing. And went more than an hour about the mountain, and finally to the long-awaited everyone Jiuzhaigou.
In Mizoguchi overlooking felt scenery and not much different from previously seen. Stands on both sides of the hills on the way have seen sick. I could not help think that's where there is a feeling that to enter the wonderland! Will not also be an old saying, "well-known, in fact hard to bear," right? Are confused with the guides took tickets over, to explain to us a bit. I began to realize that the original means of transport is a unified Jiuzhaigou green bus, which cars and buses in the city is the same, with each site, where the local bus stop to get off the car along with a tour guide explain . We would also like to take on the bus and then took a short time to reach the scenic spot inside. Now the location is only a "transitional zone" only.
Although only seven or so, the day is gloomy as if to drop water from Jiuzhaigou peak and visitors crowd mouth is still crowded. And so on trying to get to before we rushed into a bus. Sitting in the car, I carefully observed the vehicle. Jiuzhaigou is only in recent years great efforts to develop tourist spots, which naturally is a brand new car. Since a car for sightseeing, window will be a special clemency. I noticed that the windows are all closed, but large windows in every fan has a very narrow top of a small window open ventilation. Recalls exhort 10000 1000 asked the tour guide must not smoke a cigarette for at least a fine of 500, I guess this is probably also out of environmental considerations, to avoid the things that visitors readily litter pollute the environment.
Car gradually into the ditch along the roadside is a clear stream. Tour guide told us that this river is named "Emerald River." Jiuzhaigou water color have long known a great today, indeed, see a well-deserved reputation. The river of the non-working King, but also quite different from ordinary rivers, Zhenzhen clarity of transparency, the color of jade. Along the river to move forward, is the first King Jiu Zhai - Mirror rocks. Mountain as if a knife had been split, like the white side of this large mirror stands. The above pattern is said to have Chinese zodiac, who see their own if that kind of luck will be lucky. This rock also known as "magic mirror" to all the havoc of the ghosts and goblins in the door to stay too ditch Shui Xiu Shan-ching, Journey Into Amazing Caves.
If we just sat in the car sightseeing, all the way to go, all the way to see. After about a dozen spots. What is Bonsai Beach, sparks sea, Pearl Beach, Snow Day Long waterfall and so on. Although it is cursory, but it also generally appreciate the beauty of Jiuzhaigou is indeed walking scene for their own characteristics.
Vehicle to "Xiongmao Hai", we can finally get off walking tours of the tour. Days are still under the sometimes big, sometimes small, rain, and we bought near the body still wrapped in cotton-padded clothes - to say ridiculous, at the end of July in China, who will probably not many people wearing cotton-padded clothes. I wonder if you could be considered a privilege. Everyone's travel was in no way be affected, all full of joy into the Jiuzhaigou not wait to really appreciate the Jiuzhai situation.
Jiuzhaigou is set in the northwest of Sichuan Minshan bosom of a gem, more than 400 kilometers away from Chengdu, and Gansu border, is located in the eastern edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, an area of about 720 square meters, is a mountain Fukaya carbonate barrier lake landform. A result of which inhabited by nine Tibetan villages named. Jiuzhaigou 2000-4500 meters above sea level, due to higher elevations, the temperature is low, with rich natural resources and forest resources. In 2000, I have a vast reservoir hectares of natural forests, spruce, fir, red pine, red birch and other trees, and hundreds of kinds of rare and exotic plants and satellite uniflora leaf grass, as well as Ganoderma lucidum, Tianma and a few of the countless precious medicinal materials, more active in giant panda, golden monkey, takin and a dozen other rare animals and more than 140 kinds of birds. Jiuzhaigou to marvelous, fantastic, glamorous peerless become rare in the world, China's sole owner of the "World Natural Heritage", "World Biosphere Reserves," two international crown resort, known as "fairy-tale world, the paradise on earth." "Cui sea, Diepu, Cai Lin, Xuefeng, possession of feeling" called "Jiu Zhai five away", the name pass and abroad.
"There is poly-Shu Zhong landscape, Sichuan's scenic Jiuzhaigou condensate," the beauty of Jiuzhaigou indeed well-deserved reputation. Natural sights, picturesque. Jiuzhai beauty, the United States in water color. The so-called "Yue Guilaibukan Huangshan, Jiuzhaigou Guilaibukan water", the colorful water is Jiuzhai beauty wizard. In such a misty misty rain infiltration seen in water features, even Yinyun out of a different kind style. Geological travertine gives a special magical Jiuzhai water colors, sapphire blue, turquoise blue, green, indigo, yellow, and so the beautiful color of milk to make clear cold water Enchanting. Moving ribbon buoyant, calm, such as Mei-yu placement; Nagareizumi murmuring like a flying time of the song, poly-flow into the lake like a solidified when the poem. Green ridges of the mountains encircling her, and density are caused by the jungle surrounded her, this Smart Water as a charming raised in purdah of the stunning beautiful woman and get everything handed father and brother's love Chongni, free play, Zi Qing joy. This facial color of water, for me that this student is not seen. If not on the ground, never hard to imagine this world as much as this nirvana stunning.
Jiuzhaigou to the special conditions, steep mountains, dense forests, deep valley urgent. Here it is necessary to protect the landscape vegetation, but also to meet the aspirations of the people eager to get close to nature. Jiuzhai smart people use wood and put up a section Plank Road, wearing the jungle, over gorge, the mountain was built downstream winds. I walked in the above, meditation rapt attention, carefully appreciation for this earthly paradise, experience the beauty of her delightful.
Jiuzhai water is very wonderful, flow to different regions that show moon. Though it is not colorful, but different shades of color, colors are different; although both static and dynamic and affordable, but it all with charm, style, very different. This is often a result of Panda Xiong Maohai haunt named, set off a pair in the trees. Shore, steep mountains, verdant vegetation, the lake the same color green, quiet tranquility. And its downstream Wu Huahai also known as peacock sea, will be green, dark green, sapphire-blue and other colors sweep into the heart, rendering them together. Looked with rapt attention, water, light cyan curved belt looking like a peacock head and neck, and that is the color of their tail feathers at the scene, just as a proud peacock Yangshou chest, showing off their beauty.
Down the hill, along the Plank Road Stroll Wu Huahai edge, close to admire her, you will find another wonderful underwater world. There are hordes of gray water and black fish in a free cruise. This fish is called the mountain naked carp is a mountain specialty fish, growth cycle is very long, very slow growth to a long 10 years before a little bit longer. Do not look at their little heads, but like to be close to crowds, lively and lovely. Is even more amazed that the Jiuzhaigou unique "water trees" phenomenon, a number of ancient trees mortal fell in the water, by its calcification, in the surface of the travertine accumulation of the tree, do not decay, the tree will be saved as the same specimen down. Time has passed, more and more rich and colorful underwater world: all kinds of trees, tiling the water, branches interlaced, slanting crosswise, lush plant growth of algae In the meantime, there are groups of mountain naked carp leisurely walk through freely. Numerous and complex, sparse LU Li. As a design beautiful, Takifugu dense ancient Persian carpets, more like an age-old amber, after the passage of time, several times gloomy, adding to its mysterious beauty deep thick.
I walk in the Plank Road on the other side is standing silently in Aoyama, one side is a colorful and diverse Chui sea, at the foot of the water gurgling sound of his head overcast shade trees. Exposure of this, Fan Chen muddy dirt swept away, I really pure and simple natural gas Qin Ru-ching Heart and indeed a sense of being in paradise. No wonder people say: "If this world really heaven, that is a Jiuzhaigou."
SENS flying is the occasion of one fleet has changed landscape. See the open front of Gordon, a large milk yellow travertine beach greeted, the previous quiet nowhere to be seen, replaced by an active school of joy. Flow to this spread, diffuse on the beach. Beach is not the end of travertine formation, stirred clusters clusters drops, bouncing and vivacious, shimmering, just as scattered bead curtain, Montreal pearls. Do not have to explain that this is the "Pearl Beach," the origin of the name. Diffuse water here open an extensive area, flow naturally slow down, become arbitrary, scattered non-custodial. Water layer seems like a milk Xiangzhu yellow satin, blazing ground floor shops spread out to, we will have a lazy precious of Yun Zhi. He did not expect from a shop-ping Tan sudden break, the next is ravine. Water is less than income potential, they just made a change lazy, plunged happily, dressed in silver to form a curtain hanging Yashang bright, it seems that skilled artisan woven brocade go far enough China and the United States, but also in the following silver fall on the silk tassels. To make his masterpiece to perfection. This season abundant water curtain seemed to be especially plentiful and there is momentum, Pentium flow between the cliff top and the bottom depicting a graceful curve, for this Bishan Valley adding to a very imposing, eight dynamic. Mountains around the water, mountains, water, spirit due to mountains, mountain due to water show, it was "Chung stream cliffs scattered, virtual Yan Cui Jian deep" beauty.
I think here is stunning waterfalls, while the foot is still forward, mind still revel in the beauty seen in Fang Cai, not feel nostalgic about those times. Hu Ting sound of roaring water, earth-shaking. Fascinating stats looked up and really was surprised. I do not know when it changed abruptly twists and turns have been lodged in accordance with consumption, a wide front of Lang, but also wearing a huge curtain to show the former than the pearl beach just a more spectacular waterfalls, went so far as 300 meters in width, its tolerance goes without saying that, so that human breath. So this is the Tibetan language means "magnificent" in Connaught Day Long Falls. As if God intends to show off, deliberately set aside the two nearby waterfalls, but also give them a different Qiao bother charm. Snow Day Long although broad, but not to overwhelm people. A Unit a clean their spread, as if Qian Wanlv tulle gently dropped, merged into wearing a white veil covered in Ya Shang, though charming but dignified, highly refined of. If the Pearl Beach Waterfall as a childlike innocence and lively girl, Snow Day Long is one of the family kept in a young woman of deep house each with their own style to the showground.
Turned two falls, the heart is also with a letter that the water flowing with emotion and eyes of the King is a change. Presented in front is a flat as a mirror, clear bottomed out in Haizi - mirror the sea. It suddenly as it came tranquil quiet, it is mind a photo, can not help but gasp in admiration Jiuzhaigou indeed "good fortune bell Shenxiu", dynamic and static arranged so properly. Mirror sea, its name can be ascertained Jia Miao. A lake clean water, and blend into the daylight mountains, white clouds trees, hierarchical clear and colorful. Microwave depress the surface of the lake gazing, you can see a wonderful world of light and shadow composition, Shuiguang prettily Yan, Meng empty mountains, water, land, air, King overlapping blend, a fine display of the sea in the mirror, the share of compatibility subtle hypnotic beauty.
Jiuzhaigou was "Ah" shape, we have just gone through is the "Ah," the word the right fork, called "Japan will ditch", the left fork called "Zechawagou", mirror the sea is situated in the intersection of two ditch. We also went sightseeing car, went to visit Zechawagou Probe into wins.
During this very long journey, sitting in the car to enjoy the scenery outside the window from time to time can be seen dressed in robes of Tibetan men and women, colorful streamer jian also often covered in the long-haired yak grazing leisurely. Indeed there is a mixed style. This is the situation in Tibet Jiuzhai? I can not help but smile, yes, that Tibetans, streamer, and yak in this beautiful landscape in the move about freely, they really and Jiuzhai blood, skin to each other here, they are the real masters.
