Asian Tour (9) [Author: Abies]
Two kinds of turning Balang Shan is another world out of the plateau on days
October 7, is also a rare sunny. Really want to get up early and went to shoot the sunrise. Unfortunately, we live in the lower valley, climbing it was too late. Fengming and I climbed on a balcony overlooking the hotel's top floor, only to see a peak Siguniangshan corner. Panoramic Siguniangshan eating breakfast in 10 minutes after departure came one called "cat nose" place to see. I saw four peaks closely connected to the first peak (A Beautiful Lady peak) the highest elevation of 6250 meters, the rest of several peaks is relatively mild. Pimpin that he had been with the regiment had to climb high mountains, when the rain was the lowest in a mountain, lodging in tents in very difficult. As for the Siguniangshan Why is referred to as "four girls" instead of "four kings" of the class, I did not get a satisfactory answer, but I want to Sichuan, the scenery beautiful and graceful girl, can not unrelated to the top half of the sky.
Left the Siguniangshan began crossing the Balang Shan. After nine of the 18 bends winding road, to 4523 meters above sea level of the Ba Langshan dumb. Usual in here to see the sea of clouds is said to be a well-known landscape. Regrettably, today's was cloudless sunny, so that tour guides are also speechless. 1 signs in front of the Wolong will enter the territory - is the famous Panda Nature Reserve. I looked everywhere, under ice and snow a barren ridge, puzzled Panda How to stay in this mountain.
Balang Shan has just climbed over the top, still saw bald mountain, in some places there are rocks of ice hanging. As soon a ridge around a piece Ridge Road, elevation getting lower and lower, as if a sudden change of summer and winter, space-time dramatic transformation, before people had experienced the answer to the question - It turned out that both sides are dried up totally different Ba Langshan Two of the world: there is a mountain plateau, snow all day long, loess cover, there is no forest; mountain side elevation of the mountain extravagant decreased drastically, the closer the valley showing the more dense forest, there are some lush bamboo forest - Panda Love delicious to eat. The fertile land here, there is no ice and snow, but also becomes warm and humid, vegetation flourished.
With this piece of beautiful and green, panda life and death is not willing to look through the Balang Shan. Along the way did not see wild giant pandas, but imagine: ZHOU words, highly appreciated in the mountains that colorful occasion, I can not help but blurt out: "- Panda!" Surprisingly, Zhou Li was also quick to push the prices go along with: "Really呀! "anxious Fengming hurriedly looked probe:" What then? Which do? "We are all happy after Dahushangdang laughed.
To leave the giant panda's hometown, no more mountains, and gradually away from the plateau, an increasing sense of heat. Quickly onto the road along the Min River downstream. This link northern Sichuan Minjiang River upper reaches of the road I Zengjinglaiguo: Four years ago I went to Jiuzhaigou it is that the only way to go. At that time into the North Sichuan Plateau, the first time I saw snow-capped mountains, also listening to the "Tibetan Plateau" when you found a heart of sympathy and especially fascinated by. Now I have come to Southwestern Sichuan and northern Sichuan before, can remember the journey together, this is a very subtle thing.
Plateau wake up soon near Chengdu. I raise the blue sky disappeared and was not a level between heaven and earth replaced by gray. Back again by passing vehicles, noise, dust and dirty air Miscellaneous flooded the world, no longer smoke less than a plateau Jingjie refreshing the air - these sudden changes is simply too severe to bear. Our people are like a car just became a sen again into the half of it urges children Suchen hermit, or the loss of valuable assets that can bring goldfish fisherman, a particularly frustrating time.
Through Dujiangyan and the statue of Li Bing and his sons, over into the high-speed irrigation 2:00 PM back to Chengdu in the afternoon. Lin chef brings us to the characteristics of Chengdu, one of the best snack - Yulin Chuanchuan Xiang pot shops, tasted the meal an attractive pot Chuanchuan Xiang. Master Wong would otherwise remain hidden until this time showing to drinking, can be spicy food nature. We do want to sink to fill when the pot is like borrowed arrows Caochuan - son has not seen the closely-packed bamboo stick pan along enough to have as many as a thousand roots.
Companion and I got a stay of Mr. Chen sent us back to the late 8 pm Beijing ticket. Chen, Huang two master is to fly the next day in Guangdong. Banks both companions are prepared to continue flying tour Lijiang, Yunnan. Zhao Wen Zhou Li will be here for two and take the train back to Beijing in the future. So hurry and playmate who bid farewell to his back not seen deflated backpack, coming to an end of travel.
Time and space through the extreme north-south north-south silent
7 pm the evening of October 7, Chengdu Shuangliu Airport. This is my first time ever to fly. Forecasting aircraft will broadcast delayed. Our spacious lounge to wait. Companion's cell phone received messages sent to the Master Wong: "I wish you a pleasant journey, bon voyage. Welcome to Guangdong to eat pull intestine." This is certainly with everyone the afternoon shopping at the supermarket in Chengdu, a Do not rush, said he did not have time words.
As night fell, and finally see the window moving over the aircraft parking apron. Our aircraft have been delayed a half hour. This is the one capable of carrying more than 200 medium-sized aircraft. Aircraft take-off moment I have a never had the excitement - not just for the first time-off enough to enjoy the flight of the addiction, but also in the settlement of a few days of hard climbing, after wading the bumps, and finally feel in terms of distance on the altitude, or high efficiency on both the natural and unrestrained through time and space. This feeling for the people who fly often may be commonplace, but for me it has incomparable novelty and temptation. In addition, I was also excited at this way, the perfect painting for this journey end.
The guests saw the porthole next to my curiosity, take the initiative to give his position had not seen the world I am. Wings outside the window are not blocked in the line of sight place to live, Jinguancheng criss-cross the twilight of the night-light flickering. Can also identify which started from the roads, buildings or moving vehicles, quickly getting smaller and smaller as more and more confused in the end go away and disappear into a vast darkness. Only the wing is still in the dark alone, headlights flashing ... ...
The next two hours will be like sitting in a stationary room, not the least bit of sense of displacement in the proof. I know at this time the aircraft is already across the mountains and seas. I can not imagine a "flying mountain, across the plain, galloping across the Yellow River, Yangtze River," "Shangri-La" has been away from us ... ... indescribable feeling at this time, everything is silent silent.
Aircraft used for about twenty minutes I feel a huge landing and Beijing. The same see the "photographic paradise" Star bright, I wanted to study astronomy, like, when I had the honor overlooking the gorgeous night view of a vast city of Beijing, those who strongly identify which side signs when I very much learning geography. ... ... Finally see the most uncertain as the airport highway and the neon lights of the Capital Airport Hotel ... ... from afar, after countless magnificent mountains and rivers, I went back to Beijing.
A few days later received master Wong sent e-mail: to leave the quiet of Aden, returned to the noisy city, a little accustomed to, as if to leave the world a long time feeling. Indeed miss the pure and thin in the vast expanse of space. You can see it again unscarred? ... ...
