Aba immigrated to Xinjiang

On that day, I closed my eyes in the mist of the temple and suddenly heard the truth in your ode;

That January, I shook all the prayer wheels, not to cross, but to touch your fingertips;

That year, I kowtowed and climbed on the mountain road, not to see you, but to keep your warmth;

At that time, I turned the landscape into a stupa, not to repair the afterlife, but to meet you on the road.

The second encounter with western Sichuan stems from inadvertently seeing a group of photos and then meeting friends. Some trips don't need too many reasons, just want to have a look.

Driving from Chengdu along Panshan Highway, looking at the more and more beautiful scenery, you will know that it is getting closer and closer to Xiaojin.

Oxygen is getting thinner and thinner and the sky is getting bluer and bluer. I just wore short sleeves when I started from Chengdu, and I have to add clothes silently here. This is the unique chill of the plateau, which directly hits my body and mind. Occasionally get off and have a rest, standing in the mountains, you can't help but unload the tense nerves in the city and relax. There is a natural comfort and an illusion of being in Switzerland.

So some people say that Siguniang Mountain is "the Alps of the East".

When I was in Maobiliang Ridge, I stopped sightseeing again, because it was one of the best places to see Siguniang Mountain. Under the blue sky, you can clearly see the accumulated snow shining in the sun, holy and majestic. From right to left, there are big peaks, two peaks and three peaks, and the most upright one is Momei Peak.

There are two versions of the legend about the holy mountain.

First, a long time ago, there was a young man named Ayi Bayi in Rilong Town who married a girl from a neighboring village and gave birth to four beautiful daughters. Later, a demon named Madonna came and wanted to marry his four daughters. A Lang Bayi fought the devil to protect his daughter, but she was unfortunately killed. In order to protect their homeland and avenge their father, the daughters finally turned into four peaks to suppress the demon.

The other is that the girls fought fiercely with the devil here in order to protect their beloved panda, which eventually turned into four peaks.

No matter which version, it adds a mysterious color to the holy mountain, which makes people want to know and explore more, so countless people come to hike or climb the mountain all year round.

It's just that for us, we are not enthusiastic outdoor lovers, and simple sightseeing can satisfy the visual and spiritual enjoyment.

When I arrived in Xiaojin County, it was already noon. After checking in, I had lunch and went to Shuangqiaogou, where I thought about it. Driving between beautiful mountain roads, I feel a little excited every time I go forward.

The core scenic spots of Siguniang Mountain include Shuangqiaogou, Changping Valley, Haizigou and Siguniang Mountain. Shuangqiaogou, with a total length of 34.8 kilometers, is mainly composed of snow peaks, pastures, grasslands and forests. It can be said that it is the most beautiful ditch in Siguniang Mountain.

The origin of the name Shuangqiaogou is also very popular, just because there are two wooden bridges in the ditch, one is willow and the other is Chinese fir, so it is named.

The scenic spots in front of the scenic spot mainly include Yin and Yang Valley, Riyue Baojing Mountain, Wuse Mountain, Shili Yang Shulin, Ginseng Fruit Ping and Seabuckthorn Forest Belt. There are bonsai beach, fish dam and hunter peak in the middle section; There are cowshed lawn, redwood forest, white sand beach and Potala peak in the back section.

Our tour way is to drive directly to the innermost redwood forest, and then visit all the way back from there along the scenic spot.

Sequoia forest is the last scenic spot at the end of Shuangqiao ditch, with an altitude of 3800 meters, and it is also the highest scenic spot in the ditch. There are national second-class protected plants redwood trees and modern glaciers with a long history.

The redwood trees stretch here, and the scenery of the four seasons is endless. It is gentle in spring, cool in summer, golden in autumn and silver in winter. This is another sacred tree besides Hippophae rhamnoides in Shuangqiaogou.

In addition to walking in the redwood forest, when you look up, there is endless snow.

Then we went to the next scenic spot-Niupengzi. The cowshed is named after a herdsman's cowshed here. There are flat meadows, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and the largest white pagoda in the whole Siguniang Mountain Scenic Area. When the wind blows, the colorful prayer flags on the White Pagoda flutter with the wind, and the whole picture is quiet and beautiful, with unspeakable feelings.

The White Pagoda is built according to the style of stupa brought by Nepal, and its blueprint is the original pot-covered stupa in ancient India. Because their surfaces are generally painted with white ash and the color is white, they are called white pagodas.

The snow-white white pagoda and the snow-capped mountains set each other off, which is more eye-catching in such a large area of green shoots. These are all good spiritual sustenance.

In this situation, a classic poem of Cangyang Jiacuo can't help but come to mind: At that time, the mountain turned into water and turned into a stupa, not to repair the afterlife, but to meet you on the road; At that moment, I raised my horse, not to beg for happiness, but to wait for your arrival.

On the plateau, I am afraid of high rebellion, so I can only swim carefully. In fact, I am so happy that I want to run and jump to express my excitement. It's not the first time to go to the plateau, but goodbye is always as happy as the first time.

Stroll along the plank road, and then go forward. At the end of the plank road, you can see the herdsmen's home. Those cattle and sheep are grazing leisurely around the house.

On the other side is the Potala Peak, which is 5240 meters above sea level and looks like the Potala Palace. It is said that when Gambu was preparing to build the Potala Palace, the people who sent the expedition team came here and found that the mountain was majestic, so the Potala Palace was built on this basis.

After arriving in Gu Si, I saw the whole lake hidden between tall fir trees and vigorous seabuckthorn trees, just like a huge mirror. It is said that Gu Si Nacuo is a sacred lake where four girls bathe.

Here, the lake is clear, the dead trees and old trees stand still, the lake is connected with mountains and gullies, the peaks and rocks are reflected, the trees and grasslands are surrounded, and the sunshine is colorful and beautiful.

Gu Si Nacuo is a dammed lake formed by the accumulation and blockage of debris flow impact fans caused by the "5. 12" earthquake. After the earthquake, it was rationally planned and effectively used by dredging, slag removal, building viewing pavilions and platforms, thus forming a natural alpine lake with an area of more than 8,000 square meters, which is also one of the attractions that tourists like very much after the "5. 12" earthquake.

Along the plank road by the lake, you can walk all the way to the bonsai beach, and there is also a flowing stream, which is the snow water after the melting of the snow-capped mountains, clear and cool.

Bonsai beach, about three miles long and tens of meters wide, consists of two streams with a pearl beach in the middle.

The name of bonsai beach is because the dry seabuckthorn trees are scattered on the beach, which is very artistic and visual.

These different shapes of seabuckthorn trees die but don't fall, and they still maintain their tall and straight posture before they die, but they have no green life.

The tall branches of Hippophae rhamnoides are bent, stretched or straight, which not only has the vitality of old pines, but also has the beauty of garden bonsai without losing its majesty.

These pine-like bonsai forests have clear streams at the foot, white clouds and blue sky at the top, and snow-capped mountains and grasslands around them. * * * together form a natural bonsai map, so people call it "bonsai beach".

The formation of bonsai beach is due to the siltation and blockage of mountain torrents, which leads to the diversion of rivers and submergence of seabuckthorn trees that originally grew on land.

This stream is rich in calcifications. Before being drowned, seabuckthorn trees absorbed them desperately, and a lot of calcification attached to their roots, which made these seabuckthorn trees die but not fall, becoming a unique landscape in the mythical world of Shuangqiaogou.

In this unique landscape, it is inevitable to take photos of tourists who have been here.

The last scenic spot to visit is Ginseng Fruit Ping. The first reaction when I heard this name was whether it was a long ginseng fruit. Later, I asked, it turns out that there are really ginseng fruits under a large meadow. Moreover, there is a legend that people who used to live in this land suffered from many diseases, and then Siguniang Mountain God went to the Buddha to ask for fairy fruit and spread it on this land to help everyone.

Now many cattle and sheep graze leisurely here and have a good time together ~

The beauty of Shuangqiaogou makes people linger, with a scene and good scenery everywhere. Even just walking on the green grass is very interesting.

I got up early the next day and went to Chaoshanping in Haizigou with my friends. We can walk all the way along the plank road, but it is really difficult for us to climb the mountain on the plateau.

Fortunately, the scenery along the way is excellent to comfort our tired bodies. "Eyes in heaven, body in hell" is used to describe my present state. The azaleas on both sides of the mountain road are lush, red, pink and white, like a girl's smile.

Haizigou, with a total length of19.2km, is the only place for climbers to climb the peak of Siguniang Mountain. Generally, climbers enter from Haizigou, walk or ride to 1 camp and base camp, and then to Dafeng, Erfeng, Sanfeng and main peak.

The scenery here is original and magnificent, and the lake is crystal clear. There are more than 0/0 alpine lakes such as Huahaizi, Floating Sea, White Sea, Blue Ocean and Yellow Sea. The scenery is completely different from Shuangqiaogou and Changping Valley. The first half mainly saw the scenery of Chaoshan Ping, mainly alpine meadows. Besides enjoying Siguniang Mountain, it is also a good place for photographers to shoot.

On the lush grass, you can meet several horses grazing from time to time. At first glance, the world is vast and really free. You can wander and run at will.

Chasing between grasslands and keeping company with cattle and horses are also images that often appear in my mind. Now, when it really appears in front of me, it feels as unreal as a dream.

Standing on the mountains and clouds, we can still see our way back and forth. Looking back at the vastness of this road, we feel more and more insignificant. Yes, people are always so insignificant in front of nature, so it is very necessary to keep awe at all times.

The white tower stands in the clouds, and colorful prayer flags are fluttering in the wind, which is very spectacular from a distance.

If you look closely, you will find that all the flowers are small and thin, and the yellow and white are endless ~

Some Tibetans also crossed Karin on the grass and jumped into Pot Village. There is a saying that Tibetans can only cross Karin on the grassland, which is true.

When crossing a meadow, there are some short shrubs all the way. I felt lonely when I saw only one tree standing there.

Just like San Mao's words, if there is an afterlife, you should be a tree and stand in an eternal posture without sadness: half in the dust and half flying in the air; Half cool, half sunny.

Very silent and proud, never relying on or looking for, that tree is probably like this.

The beauty of western Sichuan is not only the magnificence of Tibet, but also the vastness of Xinjiang, and each has its own characteristics. It is a blend of snow-capped mountains, grasslands and lakes, and may set foot on this land again in the near future.
