The Old Plank Road through the original plan was to go the afternoon of Friday evening, places Zigui, Saturday by boat to the pui stone, walk through the Wu Gorge Old Plank Road, and then places bluestone, Sun Goddess Peak climbing the morning and afternoon to go home. Later that night, listening to chuanshan leopard boats can proceed directly to Fengjie, so that prompt us to change the itinerary, planned to use two days and a half to two Old Plank Road across the Qutang Gorge.
November 22, the world is 129th (hereinafter referred to as Heavenly Brother), and snails I take two people to Zigui 1:10 pm on a luxury bus from home to pay the starting slope, this car has a trip 2:10, but due to spend five hours on the road do not know Zigui to Fengjie the ship was a few open, so we try to catch an early point in a bus. Fortunately, we met in the car also went to the Fengjie two people who inquire about 20:00 at night there are boats to Fengjie, so on and their peers together. Car near the Three Gorges Dam, the encounter traffic jams, to Zigui close to the time 7:30, and four went to find a surface terminal, but fortunately enough time. On this day there is a small episode, and our peers, Liu and Wang master chef who is familiar with the board, so days and my brother bought the fourth-cabin of the votes, board replaced free of charge after the third-class (although still very rudimentary), expensive meals on board, lunch is 10 yuan and Liu master Fortunately, we eat together, four dishes and a soup, free of charge. The evening, two packs of cigarettes to give Liu master, be paid a friend. I thought the night on board can see the Three Gorges Unfortunately, strong winds, but the night is really dark, what scenery is also why it could not. Lying on the bed, turned the Three Gorges of the maps and information, it is the accident revealed that the two printed description of the Three Gorges scenery is actually the same website. Accompanied by shipping lines rumble and dreams of ancient plank road, and we look forward to a long time Qutang course.
November 23 morning around 7:00, the ship arrived in Baidicheng, we are as people travel here shed a boat, bought tickets for later (because the walk through the Old Plank Road is the first Baidicheng, so tickets must be very buy), Heavenly Brother and I on the stairs, first went to visit Baidicheng. Hillside Department, has been able to clearly see the legendary Kuimen. North and south of White Enzan A Mountain Across the river is relatively red, straight into the sky, Linjiang side as Daoxue general steep, the river is very narrow, fast-flowing, "Qutang lock the whole River Water", here is the throat of. Padaoshanding later, Hall visited the Tuo Gu Ming-liang Temple and other scenic spots later, we bid farewell from the Thatched Cottage River Bridge Baidicheng Unfortunately, there is no imagination, "the North Korea speech Bai Di Caiyun between" the poetic. Visit Thatched Cottage River east of the ancient elephant museum, we also have a small episode. Brother and I have just two days under the dark to the "Antique biological Hall" when suddenly the right hand side sent a beast cries and horrible music, dim the lights, a dinosaur transform rushing toward us, shocked us , the original organ here is voice-activated. Ancient as the museum floor, next to the red A, after the ancient fort stood side, here is Kuimen, Old Plank Road is the entrance, overlooking the Yangtze River at the foot of the Pentium roar opposite straight up and down a steep cliff, the majestic landscapes displayed in Kuimen eyes. Held onto Cannons, oncoming wind Yijiao flying high, imagine the ancient battlefield of the year, ear rumbling of the guns came here really is, "Kazuo When closed, Wan Fu Mo open." Across the hillside and the river, connecting places is the famous Fenbi stone, the most striking of the stone is the Sun Yuan-liang's "Kuimen world-hung, ship and plane gently off", and Feng Yu-hsiang of the book "step-Kui Wu, fought off pirates," Unfortunately, these stone carvings in the Three Gorges reservoir will be buried later in a river. Linjiang distance, brown mountain, the green hills black, gray cliff, one by one, the Yangtze River meandering Wanzhuan between the cliff and disappeared in the thin layer of mountain mist. Kuimen viewing the scenery, we entered the Qutang 9:30 am Old Plank Road.
Come downstairs from the Red A very good section of Old Plank Road walking lane is basically the 1.5 meters or more, even in the river side was also revised by nearly a meter of stone balustrades, sometimes dirt roads, sometimes stone path from time to time there are orange trees in the foot side, there are sporadic of cooked oranges hanging from a tree. River south of the stone are more especially for the Kuimen Department, Jiang north bank of the stone we can only see the "open outstanding service," "Ladder-chun le monde", are in the Plank Road side, each word as large as the Big Dipper, very eye-catching. Gap before the bellows is still some old Plank Road is the most exciting, is carved into the steep cliff inward 2 meters high and 3 meters deep channel, there is no stone balustrades, standing Plank Road side, not head to the point of view of the mountains, because channel top highlights of rock blocking the line of sight, down is the steep rock faces, casually kicking a small stone can be straight into the river, by overlooking the river, more immersive an abyss, it is shocking. Looking back behind the scenery, the Yangtze River at the foot of the parties, such as a White Dragon Pentium, Plank Road in the mountainside with the ups and downs, such as a brown dragon in the cliff side, the cliff is straight roller, Qi Feng and days makes me think of high call out "Qutang magnificent under heaven." During this walk at large in, the people can not help but think back to masonry body in accordance with a hammer a chisel cliffs of dangerous scenarios, are really "open up outstanding service" in order to describe. As the journey is still a certain risk of Ancient Plank Road, so days brother and I have not put spots of information held in the hand, the results missed Mengliang ladder, stealing the water hole, hung upside down monks and other landscapes, but fortunately, seven men (one with a lot of openings The caves), bellows Gorge (great stone), etc. more conspicuous. Congfeng Box Gap to the crane back at the signal station (located at diagonally opposite Dasi) This section of Plank Road is mainly dirt roads, steep slopes are not so steep as the front-end, can also be seen along the river side of the mountainous northern peaks. We encountered several groups of his way to the upper reaches of the cruise, we are excited to cry, they also give a warm response, encourage us to move forward. As the film along scenic stop-go, do not know how to walking speed. 11:10 AM, we have found a place to open a lunch break, after 20 minutes, adjusted again. Traveling a short distance encountered a more dangerous downhill, the road is the slope, the width is only one foot down are gravel landslide, 10000 careful, it will have been rolled down the river, and here to be the Qutang Plank Road in The only need to redouble our attention. Carefully through here after the corner to see the cliffs painted in red paint, "a short break, speed off before the Bay" message, presumably to remind the foot from the Tahsi to Kuimen who (as is generally through this period of Plank Road walk up, this time we are retrograde). After a lot of this danger soon after went to the crane back at the signal station (on-line a lot of travels have mentioned), this time just 12 points, from here you can saw the Yangtze River diagonally opposite the Dasi. Here Qutangxia the end, Qutang Ancient Plank Road's crossing over to be here, too, through the large in this 8 km long we have spent 2.5 hours, if aware of lunch from this place so close, we should go down in one breath , so you can only spend 2 hours. And the signal station, surnamed Gong's friends chat that although the signal station can still be seen at large in the east, but the period of more than a year that no one has gone through, walk through the Plank Road where the people are crossing the river (I later came to realize that he was referring to the upper reaches of those who go on foot, cross the river at this waste of my brother 50 days due to see next), but alas fishing boats ferry across the river had just sent a man, and now has not returned. We had to remove the backpack, and Gong brother chat full non-marginal, in his pointing, we are still at the signal station photographed the famous "rhino full moon."
