Chapter 18 Sichuan·Land of Abundance
Jiuzhaigou

Sichuan is a place with multiple personalities: some are aggressive, some are charming, some are vigorous, some are soft, some are extroverted, some are restrained.The exposure of each character has an indescribable charm.

Jiuzhaigou is like a dream, carrying the beauty that the world can imagine.It seems like a long picture scroll, which adorns the world beautifully.

Legend has it that a long time ago, at the foot of the Goddess of Semo, a Tibetan man and woman who loved each other accidentally broke their token of love - a precious mirror. The fragments of the mirror were scattered in the jungle of Jiuzhaigou, forming the current 108 Haizi.These beautiful lakes enrich the land with their water and fill every heart with their colors, making everything around them so calm and peaceful, so beautiful that there is no room for melancholy and restlessness.

Water is the soul of Jiuzhaigou.There are more than 100 emerald seas, more than 40 springs, dozens of canyons and waterfalls, large and small, forming a miniature picture of Jiuzhaigou.Shuzheng Waterfall is the most eye-catching water in Jiuzhaigou. It is composed of more than 40 large and small lakes. The deep ones are about 10 meters deep and the small shallow ones are about 1 meter. They are all connected to form a ladder-shaped lake.The Shuzheng Waterfall is not too big, the water flows slowly from the small forest in the mountains, like silk and yarn, and the water mist at the bottom of the waterfall is lingering, which looks warm and peaceful; Telling ancient myths.

Wuhuahai has the reputation of "Jiuzhai's one wonder" and "Jiuzhai's essence".In late autumn, Wuhuahai appears in front of the world with the most beautiful costumes—blue, dark green, emerald yellow, pink, and tender white.They each reflect each other in the bright sunlight, and spread to the surroundings one by one, with a sultry appearance.Wuhuahai is like a woman with dual personalities. It is as calm as a rock and as gorgeous as summer flowers. Sometimes it is as quiet as a mirror, and sometimes it moves like a cheerful dancer, mysterious and unpredictable.The wind blows and the waves move, sparks flicker on the sea under the sun, like blooming life.

Along the plank road of Wuhuahai, you will find the majestic Pearl Beach Waterfall.Pearl Beach Waterfall is the section with the most beautiful water color, the strongest water momentum and the loudest water sound among all the torrents in Jiuzhaigou.The water poured down, like strands of white silk, hanging upside down from the cliff in a dense way, falling to the ground, splashing jumping waves, like crystal clear and pure white pearls scattered all over the ground.

The rhinoceros sea where the water and the sky meet, you can see the forest when you lower your head, and the wild flowers, blue sky, and white clouds of Haizi are like dreams and dreams in the misty clouds.Can the old Tibetan lama who rode a rhino and gave his life to the rhino sea hear the call of future generations?Gently holding a handful of sweet sea water, the soul suddenly becomes so clear and transparent.

The beautiful and lonely Changhai is the longest and largest lake in Jiuzhaigou, and also the closest to heaven in Jiuzhaigou.Under the blue sky with white clouds flowing away, even though the surrounding mountains stand tall, Changhai still shows its beauty as if nothing had happened—the lake is blue and crystal clear, emerald blue is thick, but thick but not colorful; green is clear, but soft but not charming; Qingxin is clean, but clean but not silent, showing a deep and mysterious temperament.The one-armed pine standing quietly on the shore is said to be an old hunter whose left arm was taken off by a dragon to save a girl. He has been gazing at this deep and quiet lake for thousands of years. Accumulating the most beautiful scenery of the Changhai Sea, countless pilgrims stop and linger here.Facing the loneliness and depth of the long sea, and the mysterious perseverance of the one-armed pine, maybe the troubles suppressed in your heart will disappear, and your mood will become empty and peaceful.

The Five Colors Pool is the smallest fragment scattered in the jungle, and it is also the most beautiful piece of emerald held in the palm of the goddess Semo, embedded in this deep valley.It is said that Wucai Pond used to be a washbasin for fairies. Her rouge powder dyed the water in five different colors, making the water quality of Dailan, emerald green, and indigo blue crystal clear, as clear as a mirror, as colorful as colorful, and breezy. Whisk, endless changes.The colorful pool is small and soft, as if a poet is telling his full poetry, and like a fairy floating here, standing proudly without being stained with dust.Wucai Pond, with its colorful and crystal clear body, makes people both amazed and sighed, loved and pitied, and even can't bear to touch it, as if once touched, the beauty will be gone.Accompanied by the noble dream of the hermit, it is reflected in the green mountains and beautiful water in the heart of the pool, swaying in the shallow waves.

The sea of ​​mirrors is the most complete piece of precious mirrors broken by the Tibetan men and women in love. In its calm face, it can reflect the true colors of the sky, forests, snow-capped mountains, flowers and plants, and even , the true color of the sun, everything is so clear, but also so dreamy.Sometimes, there is a burst of azure blue, and sometimes, a burst of sea green, and then they are mixed with each other, mottled, like fairies of colors chasing and playing mischievously.

Nuorilang Waterfall is located in the heart of Jiuzhaigou. It is the symbol and sign of Jiuzhaigou. The lake water is divided into countless streams from the cliffs covered with trees, and the water mist at the bottom of the waterfall is very spectacular and beautiful.Nuo Rilang, who flows down and lives endlessly, has become the blood and soul of Jiuzhai. With his majestic body and loud roar, he expresses his unique roughness and boldness, wind, frost, rain and snow, day and night reincarnation.

Although Jiuzhaigou is like a dream, like an illusion, like a poem, like a picture, with moments of trance and trance, it is a paradise on earth with a simple charm.Only those who have been to Jiuzhaigou can understand the admiration and touch born from the heart.

Daocheng Yading
On the land of western Sichuan, there is such a magical place, where there are snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and all kinds of beauty you can imagine, and you can see all the colors in heaven here.This place is Daocheng.On the land of western Sichuan, there is such a magical place, where there are snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and all kinds of beauty you can imagine, and you can see all the colors in heaven here.This place is Daocheng.

Daocheng Yading, known as "Daoba" in ancient times, is located on the southwestern edge of Sichuan, in the southern part of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It means "valley mouth, open land" in Tibetan.It's the only place that can rival Shangri-La.

Yading is located on a plateau with the highest altitude of 6032 meters and the lowest altitude of 2000 meters. It borders Muli County of Liangshan Prefecture in the east and Shangri-La in Yunnan in the west. It is a beautiful place composed of Gongga Snow Mountain and Haizi Mountain.Haizi Mountain is a gift left to mankind by the orogeny of the Himalayas. On this land with a radius of more than 3000 square kilometers, there are jagged rocks and Haizi dotted around. It seems to be a hunting ground after the battle between angels and devils. It has willful willfulness. It also has a gentle jade-like beauty.

Among the layers of mountains in Haizi Mountain, 1145 alpine lakes are shining like diamonds dropped by God. They are as blue as jade, crystal clear, and quietly exude a pure atmosphere.Occasionally, there are fluffy grasses and unknown flowers swaying by the stones by the lake, showing the thrilling beauty of life.

Perhaps for the beautiful Yading, Haizishan can only be a roadside scenery forever, but it is these hasty eyes and shallow footprints that leave Haizishan with the deepest memory.How far a person's mind can go and how high it can fly, you will understand when you come to Haizi Mountain.

In Daocheng, Qingyang is a beautiful scenery.Perhaps it is because the altitude of Daocheng is too high, and there are few other woods here, except Qing Yang.Here, you don't have to look for it deliberately. On the road and by the river, as far as you can see, there are all kinds of poplars, big and small. Every plant looks so lovely. It is always positively stretching upwards, and it is neat and tight without repairing. From a distance, it looks like a tingling girl in a colorful dress, with a charm of being ashamed when she wants to speak.If you come here in autumn, then what you enjoy is definitely another scene.In the straight bushes, pieces of yellow leaves flutter like butterflies, while those half-green and yellow branches and leaves that have not yet fallen are waving gently in the breeze, as if saying goodbye to sisters, and whispering softly, telling the leaves. Behind the beauty.

In Daocheng in autumn, not only the poplar forest, but also the famous red grassland are beautiful.Red Grassland is located next to the road from Sangdui to Daocheng, 28 kilometers away from Jinzhu Town, Daocheng County.If it is not autumn, it is hard to imagine the beauty here. Along the asphalt road, there are wide pastures on both sides. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the stream is gentle. Occasionally, there are shepherds, cattle and sheep dotted among them, exuding a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.However, in the golden autumn and October, the place is like a sea of ​​fire, and the water plants seem to be ignited overnight, and clusters are spread in the water in clusters, showing the most gorgeous crimson.

If it is sunny after the rain, the sun is soft and bright, and the red grassland has a special flavor.The red grassland is not big, and the weeds that grow in the water are sparsely rooted in the abundant water like shrub branches, reflecting the penetrating sunlight after the rain, exuding a faint purple breath, so beautiful and colorful.Standing on the edge of the red grass and looking into the distance, I can't help but sigh, what kind of color combination is this!Blue sky, white clouds, and a small village hidden among the light blue mountains. In front of the village is a vast and somewhat withered pasture. In the pasture, a few leisurely cows are grazing, and there are yellow and green green grass beside the water. Poplar trees, red grass, even the best painters can't paint such a beautiful picture.But the magic of nature lies here. It combines these rich colors so properly that you can hold up the camera to see the most wonderful color pictures.

If the beauty of Haizi Mountain is secluded, and the beauty of red grassland is gorgeous, then the beauty of Aden is pure, a pure land that can uncover your dusty memories.Yading is the hometown of three sacred mountains. In the eyes of Daocheng people, Xiannairi Mountain is as kind as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the flat peak is like a magical eagle, protecting the people of Daocheng.

Aden has a mysterious power. I heard that many people will burst into tears when they see Xian Nairi when they come here.People believe that that is the power of the mountain.And those who have not climbed to the top of the mountain would rather take a sip of water in the pure stream formed by the melting snow on the top of the mountain, so that the purity of Xiannairi can wash away the dirt and troubles of the world.The sea of ​​pearls is hidden in the pine forest at the foot of Xiannairi Mountain. The emerald green lake reflects Xiannairi like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, like the jade on the skirt of the Bodhisattva, shining charmingly and peacefully.

At the foot of Xiannairi Snow Peak, there is also a Chonggu Temple.Legend has it that the eminent monk Quejiegong Juejiacuo built a temple here in order to enshrine the holy mountain and promote Buddhism throughout his life.Unexpectedly, when the temple was built, the gods on the snow-capped mountains were offended, so disasters befall the surrounding people, and plague prevails.After Quejiegongjuejia found out that he was wrong, he chanted scriptures and prayed all day long, praying for the gods to bring disasters to himself, so as to avoid disasters for the people.Later, his compassion moved the gods, and the people were safe, but he died of madness.Now that tortuous and touching history is long gone, however, the spiritual bones of Chejiegong Juejiacuo are buried here, protecting the safety of the surrounding people.

Red Meadow Tourism

The Red Grassland is the most splendid chapter in the beautiful scenery of Daocheng, attracting many people here.However, those who want to watch the red grass field should pay attention to the fact that the red grass field has a strong seasonality. It usually turns red from the end of September and reaches its peak in October.At the end of October, the sage grass gradually faded its fiery color and began to wither, and in November, it disappeared.So if you want to go to Hongcaotan, you must catch up.

The trip to Daocheng does not bring you amazing beauty. It is not as colorful as Jiuzhai Huanglong, nor is it as vast as the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Even the maple leaves on Changbai Mountain are more stunning than her, but as long as you think of those quiet and quiet Haizi, then With a piece of red grass and a clear blue sky there, you will find that Daocheng is like a road leading to heaven, allowing you to "body in hell and eyes in heaven".

Wolong
The wind in Wolong Nature Reserve is soft, the air is fresh, the bamboo is graceful, and even the Wolong Mountain Peak is warm.

Wolong Nature Reserve is located in the southeastern part of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It borders Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County in the east, Baoxing and Xiaojin Counties in the west, Dayi and Lushan Counties in the south, Li County and Caopo Township in Wenchuan County in the north. adjacent.Seeing this geographical location, many people may not have taken it seriously before, but after the May 5 incident, I believe this is already the most familiar place for Chinese people.Maybe it's God's favor, or maybe it's a natural treasure. After such an astonishing earthquake, Wolong Nature Reserve still stands there, showing the colors of the past.

Wolong Nature Reserve covers an area of ​​nearly 9245 square kilometers including Wolong, Siguniang Mountain, and Jiajin Mountains. It is the largest and most complete giant panda habitat in the world.It is said that 1/3 of the wild giant pandas in the world live here, which is the authentic "hometown of giant pandas".

Walking through the mountain peaks surrounded by vines in Wolong, you can occasionally see solitary wild giant pandas playing and frolicking in their own paradise.Sometimes it is swinging with thick vines in its arms, sometimes it is climbing up with green bamboo, and sometimes it even eats bamboo vigorously with its big white belly up, with a naive look.

Although giant pandas in the wild are cute, encountering them depends entirely on fate and cannot be forced.But even if you don't encounter it, don't regret it, because there is also a panda zoo in Wolong Nature Reserve.

Pandas are fragile and lovely animals. It is said that if a panda mother gives birth to twins, she will not know how to take care of the babies and will often abandon one of them.Moreover, they have relatively high requirements for food, and if they are not careful, they will cause diseases.Later, in order to take better care of and cultivate pandas, people built a panda paradise in the reserve.The pandas here do not have the timidity of wild pandas, and are very close to tourists. They eat bamboo leisurely here, play, or form a group, roll back and forth, or walk on toy beams, taking a leisurely walk, without any scruples. people's attention.

In fact, Wolong is not only a paradise for pandas, but also a place of rare beauty. The area has vertical and horizontal peaks and deep valleys, and has the most primitive and simple charm.The snow-covered Siguniang Mountain is precipitous and beautiful, like four pretty girls wearing white gauze, standing in a pavilion, while the forest at the foot of the mountain is dense, the grass is green, and the clear stream is endless, like a school of beauty. The beautiful scenery of southern Europe.Due to the rapid rise in altitude, the scenery of Wolong is constantly changing. It can be said that a mountain has four seasons, and the sky is different for ten miles, forming a double world of peaks and valleys.

The color of Wolong Nature Reserve is also changing. Along the way up the mountain, you will see green subtropical plants, yellow or red temperate plants according to the four seasons, and even coniferous forests and mountains that are only found in cold regions. The meadow vegetation, including many unknown flowers, will make you experience a different scenery.

Hailuogou

Walking into Hailuogou is like a conch that has left the sea for a long time and found a home. The pure white glaciers and the colorful clouds reflected in the mountains are the most direct way to the inner ocean.

Although Hailuogou is called a "ditch", it is a grand canyon.There is a legendary story about the origin of her name.Legend has it that there is a great achiever in Tibetan Buddhism named Tang Dongjiebu. He is knowledgeable, prophetic and intelligent, and has extraordinary magic power. He is known as the "Dharma King".King Tang Dongjie Bufa has a magic weapon, the conch, which never leaves his body. When the king is in danger or needs help, he only needs to blow the conch three times, and the difficulties will be solved.For a period of time, King Tang Dongjiebufa practiced in a grand canyon. He slept under the cave of the glacier boulder at night. After getting up in the morning, he recited Buddhist scriptures in front of the cave and knelt down to Gongga Mountain. Occasionally he blew a conch, and the forest The birds came to the stone cave to listen to his chanting.Later, King Tang Dongjiebufa passed away, but the birds in the forest still gathered in front of the cave on time. As time went by, trees, flowers and plants grew on the top of the cave, presenting a scene of all living beings, and everyone was amazed by it.One day, Tang Dongjiebu's disciple was resting in front of the cave. In his sleep, he heard from his master that this canyon has a lot to do with Buddha and should be named after the magic vessel of conch.Thus, the name of "Conch Spirit Stone" was handed down.

Hailuogou is located in the southeast of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on the eastern slope of Gongga Mountain, and is an extremely high mountain on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.Along the twists and turns of the road in Moxi Town, we climbed up the journey of Hailuogou.Hailuogou is really a mysterious place. The mountains on both sides of the road are densely covered with primeval forests, among which there are green shades and tall fir trees can be seen everywhere.Hailuogou is also a place with spiritual energy. Walking along the mountain road at will, no matter where you go, you can meet sweet and delicious spring water. They either gush out from the ground and form a clear stream, or they are waterfalls under the rocks. A curtain of beads fell gently.

Although there are lush trees and flowing water in Hailuogou, what really shocks people is the glacier on the top of the mountain.Hailuogou is only 2850 meters above sea level, but there is a 5700-meter-long ice tongue licking the earth. I saw crystal clear ice pouring down from the steep valley, splashing a piece of ice, instantly decorating the silent valley into a beautiful landscape. Qionglou Yuyu in the Heavenly Palace, and ice lakes, ice cracks, ice mushrooms, ice caves, ice bridges are distributed on the ice surface... like the crystal palace in mythology, shining with crystal clear light.

When the first ray of sunlight falls on the ice tongue, the whole world seems to be boiling, and all the snow peaks in Hailuogou are covered with a golden color.The Gongga Snow Mountain in the distance sits quietly among the clusters of peaks, stretching between the sky and the earth, like a huge golden statue, scattering the light of ten thousand zhang, and Hailuogou is quietly shrouded in this light. middle.

In this picturesque and poetic beauty, the language seems pale and powerless, only to close your eyes and experience this wonderful journey.

Emei
"The beauty rolls the beaded curtain, sits deeply and frowns." The ancients said that Mount Emei is a fixed-frame ink painting, the rolling hills are the eyebrows of the painting, and the four beautiful waters running across the mountains are the white modai of the painting.

The green mountains are like Daisy, and the water is as beautiful as eyebrows. This is often the first impression of Mount Emei.

It is named Emei, perhaps because its jagged peaks resemble moth eyebrows, or perhaps because of the leisurely charm of "the water is the eye wave, the mountain is the eyebrow peak", so that you can always feel the trace whether you are walking in the mountains or listening to Zen in the temple. The charm of silk.

People who come to Emei are more or less because of the piety in their hearts.Baoguo Temple is located at the foot of Guangming Mountain at the foot of Mount Emei, and it is the gateway to Mount Emei.Every morning, the morning bell in Baoguo Temple will ring with the morning light. The dull bell passes through the quiet valley and the rugged mountain forest, breaking the tranquility of this picture and calling for the arrival of a new day.The bustling crowds came from all directions, and they were hidden in the mountains of Emei in a blink of an eye.

The peaks of Mount Emei include Big Emei, Second Emei, Third Emei, and Fourth Emei, all of which have an average altitude of more than 2500 meters. Therefore, the clouds here seem to be low, flowing among the mountains, forming a unique sea of ​​clouds.Whenever the sky is clear, the clouds and mist rise gently from the mountains and ravines. In an instant, the vast sea of ​​clouds is like a huge and pure white carpet, covering every corner of Emei, gentle and thick.A gentle wind blows from a distance, and in an instant, the sea of ​​clouds surges up, and the mountain peaks hidden in the sea of ​​clouds are like small islands, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

The Buddha light on the Golden Summit of Emei can be described as unique in Emei.Standing on the highest mountain in Emei - the golden summit of Emeiling, watching the bright sun slowly rising from the east in the morning, the gorgeous morning sun slanted on the clouds, reflecting a magical color.If you turn around slowly at this time and turn your back to the sun, you will be surprised to find that in the dense clouds in front of you, there is a huge, red outside, purple inside, and the center part is like a shining mirror. A colorful halo, and within the halo, is his clear silhouette.According to legend, no matter how many people there are at this time, what people see is always their own shadow.Moreover, people are in the ring, and the shadow moves with them, and they will never be separated.

Xixiangchi Yeyue

The Elephant Washing Pool in Mount Emei is above the Zuantian slope, with an altitude of 2070 meters.It is said that Puxian Bodhisattva once climbed this mountain on an elephant. After arriving here, he washed the elephant with water in the pool, so it was named "Elephant Washing Pond".Xixiang Pool is a good place to watch the moon. Whenever the clouds and fog clear and the moon shines in the sky, there will be a golden full moon in the pool, quietly.

However, this amazing scenery of Mount Emei is not visible every day.It is said that in more than 360 days in a year, only 80 days when the Buddha's light appears, can be said to be rare.Even if there is no fate, you can't see the Buddha's light on the golden dome, standing on the top of the mountain and looking far away, your mind will be broadened accordingly.If it is sunny, you can look up at the long blue sky, look down at the misty white clouds at the bottom of your feet, thousands of miles of countryside, as if at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, you can also smell the sweet fragrance of rice.

Looking at the distant Emei, thinking about countless legends about Emei, feeling the influence of the Bodhisattva on the top of the mountain all the time, my heart seems to have calmed down.
