Weiwei Gongga Mountain
Zhang Shiming, the cross-sectional in the mountains east of the Tibetan Plateau, Sichuan, Luding County, Ganzi was the famous bridge and the Dadu River locks shore, stands a towering straight into the Xuefeng - Gongga Mountains, Tibetan language it means that supreme holy Kamiyama, to the height of 7556 meters above sea level command Hengduan Mountains Zhu Feng, but also a high degree of virtue in the world ranking of 17th among outside our country so that all the peaks in several other bow at the foot of the mainland. Low-altitude glaciers - Hailuogou, thousands of years quietly lying in its bosom, the white clouds climbed winding cliffs, waterfalls Zhixie down 9000 feet, boundless expanse of virgin forest on the Green-Tao stands the peaks, white-jiao Long usually walk through the forest valley in the glacier, Hanshi wonders of the great ice falls form the Gongga Mountain Hailuogou exotic natural landscape a feeling of it has long been fascinating, summer, we came to its feet.
July 25 at noon from the Dadu River mountains, the car circled a tortuous mountain road, struggling and slowly crawl, I kept and looked out the window: a huge mountain Xiongqi, cloud-line cliffs several thousand meters high mountains all Bibi is surrounded by thick trees crowded in upon to form a Road green needles painted screen, high altitude, light strong, exceptionally bright flowers here. Driver said: "By May, Hailuogou within the cuckoo, Primula, lilies, dendrobium, arrows, blue, octagonal lotus, Saussurea ditch spent eight contests, and open at the cliffs, hillsides, forest gap Valley, colorful. But the most Gongga Mountain wonderful landscape is "sunshine Jinshan": sunny morning or evening, snow-capped mountains in the sunlight into a Jinshan, but time is short, and must be sunny. if it is lucky to have witnessed, a few days ago the weather can be, but today, the beginning of the morning clouds, otherwise peaks should appear at this point has been the top of the sky before us. "If the driver can not help but let some of our unhappiness. One and a half hour later, car has an elevation of 2850 meters on the 3rd at the camp, we have Conch hotel stay there in the afternoon in the vicinity twisted my order to adapt to the altitude here, by the way some of the herbs were doing a local guide, tomorrow to take us up the mountain.
`The next day 6:30 get up out of the window actually inundated with rain:" This time over, "sunshine Jinshan" I'm afraid too wasted! "I am secretly crying, wash finished breakfast, check-out, 7:30 is still gloomy weather before departure , Fortunately, I later saw a photo album from the "sunshine Jinshan" This screen must scenery, magnificent indeed extraordinary. Were joined with the herbs, after a short rest, 8:30 start, first 3200 meters-high viewing platform at the moment more than 100 meters at the foot of the glaciers will be lying next to the surface, can feel at the foot of underground river roar, flowing the years of snow and ice by the water. Freezer where the air is like a general cool and humid, medium and small glaciers in the distance, such as ant-like tourists not help let me lament how life is fragile in nature, tiny. Ice surface of the gravel so that we step in a slide, which is so high mountain environment, a great strain on walking more than 10 minutes to rest every once in order to appease a result of oxygen throb incessantly about the heart. Ten o'clock when the skies gradually clear up, the sun becomes strong, skin tingling, then add clothes. All the colors around suddenly clear up, glaciers sparkling shine, crystal translucent, spectacular. We are excited to accelerate the pace, turned the big bend about Zheng Zhu: the world's most rated by numerous large slabs of ice and rock deposited by high 1080 meters, 1,100 meters wide and a large ice-ice jade puzzle falls, mountain Shi Zheng Rong, as if the accumulation of the infinite forces should be ready to blow out like ranked among the cliffs on both sides. Wizard says there is 3700 meters above sea level here is high, but I do not even have a little bit of altitude sickness are not, thinking that after the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will not have to worry about. We walked away from the waterfall is only about one kilometer of ice to sit down and rest (back to after a warning level of anti-Bingbeng). The more scattered clouds thinner, only a moment, silhouetted against the blue of the Sky falls under the ice, the years covered by snow and ice blue rock Dai presents the Gongga Mountain! In addition to eyes, there is no kind of vividly video recording equipment to record a perfect front of this breathtaking photo vigorous and dignified fashion. Ancient of the iceberg, then the holy, superb, majestic, silver flashing Excalibur Yibing deemed to pierce straight into the vault of heaven. This is what Tibetans pious worship of the holy mountains, also from the visual to the heart to give me deeply shocked and clean up. The camera at the moment can not be lazy, hard work, an instant photographed dozens of copies may be God's gift bar. A minute later again possession of the main peak into the clouds, on our side rest, while all hope and pray the one finally parted and allowed to re-can cloud more and more gathered from all sides come unexpectedly from a queue-like clouds at the end of Hailuogou coiled straight to our heads, and even ice falls have also been very Yanyanshishi cover. Has come to 13:30, is unlikely to clear up, and after all, not able to experience the majestic peaks under the blue skies, we can only regret that with a little down the. Return spent three hours back to the viewing platform, back and forth a total of 30 kilometers away mountain Rengmo suffered altitude reaction. 17:00 ride down the mountain, arrived at 6:15 Mizoguchi Moxi town, staying one night.
7:00 get up early morning, cloudy, I thought that with the Gongga Mountain farewell when the Hou. From the rooftop overlooking the past, pleasantly surprised to find that peaks appeared again the ice falls from the peak to the top of the snow-capped, because the farther the distance and refraction of light shine out of a dream of the silver Huangru to see used to Huangshan, Taishan high elevation I have ever come to such a gazing Gongga Xuefeng ah! In this elevation of 1,200 meters west of the mill town of Gongga overlooking the mountain and 7556 meters above sea level 5200 meters in that the Rongbuk to Everest 8848 meters afar than the relative drop is worse than it is absolutely yes!
Good-bye, memorable Gongga Mountain, I will definitely come back!
