The following morning, open the windows and doors, was found outside a hazy, not seen blue sky, the hearts can not help but secretly worry that can not tour Namo Gorge, but the Sun the teacher tells us that today there will be the sun, but also very hot, we are skeptical to set off.
We Bailongjiang upstream along and found the river Tengqi intermittent mist, Langmusi town looming in the fog, just like clouds in the city. Bailongjiang of the original absorption of water by the deep underground geothermal ground after the leakage, so the water temperature is much higher than the air temperature, warm water vapor from the river in the distribution out of the cold air condenses into fog and 4 released into the atmosphere. Hand probe into the river, and indeed warm comfort.
Through the Younger at the end of sihou, we came to Namo Gorge entrance, in front of the state of vegetation has undergone tremendous changes, the original sparse shrubs and meadow suddenly been replaced by lush jungle trees. It turns out that the original piece dry dry river valleys have been Bailongjiang hot and humid air of the warm water, moisture, so that the tall sub-tropical forest to flourish and a great wonders of the formation of a local.
Into the Gorge, towering mountains on both sides of danger to misty, canyon bottom land could walk 10 meters wide and unhealed, and the rugged rocks on the ground, access roads to follow. The road is about 1-2 km, the towering canyon near the entrance to the lush forests become more and more sparse up and jumping into bushes into thin sheets, red eye, gives a strong visual impact, so our eyes as one of the light.
When we turn the a forest, a narrow canyon suddenly see the light, in the mountains, the one about 100 meters wide and 1000 meters long, flat plateau meadow in front of us. A Tibetan nomad in this camp, two large black tent is for parents to living and cooking purposes, a small white tent is said to be at home is not married girls use. Over a hundred head cattle and sheep grazing around the tent, three black sturdy Tibetan mastiff guard around a near outsiders will be more than bluster to try it, people shudder, our palms sweat. Sure enough, a teacher at the moment, such as Sun said, the sun break the siege, the clouds slowly disperse, the original peak gradually appeared hazy out towering peaks like a shy stunning girl wearing face veil, has been reluctant to show people, really "thousands of calls 10000 call come out, I still hold partly concealed. " But looming dim the Meicai people filled with hope and an upsurge of emotion. Blue sky, mountains, Qingyun, canyons, meadows, tents, smoke, cattle and sheep, the Tibetan people, which all eyes are so quiet and harmonious, it is stopped, I really wish time could stop at this moment so that I will always appreciate the intoxicated go.
Reluctant to part with the Tibetan people bid farewell, we continue to gorge deep, and probably by the autumn of catalytic deep canyons, scrub all the more bright red, hey? In front of the hillside is the shining white snow do? How is still moving? Came closer, turned out to be a large group of goats from the hillside on the other side climb over. In the blue sky and bright red bushes appeared between the incredible group of white sheep, unexpected, can not help but left us with a very deep impression.
Also ahead of the nearly 1 km, suddenly found the right side of the hill a few black dots, it seems that is still flowing, my eyes will not be a problem, right? Immediately replaced by a long shot to draw into a view, turned out to be a group of goshawks in the Peak, hovering, and makes a number of no less than 10. I have never seen so many eyes at the same time goshawk. On the return journey heard hovering in front of goshawks in the Peak of the Department, is another Tianzang Tai, and perhaps was conducting burial rites.
Around noon, we backtrack Langmusi enjoy the cozy warmth of the afternoon sun and really relax leisure time. The next morning, we finally embarked on a journey back to Shanghai, the thought that the content and highlights of this trip point, did not expect the return trip on the way there is still surprising and exciting windfall.
