Zouma Red Rock

By the end of August this year, I and several mountain climbing, photography people, armed with camping equipment, under the leadership of the local Tibetans and lasted three days, riding across the Songpan Red Rock Canyon. So far, only a handful of domestic and overseas travelers visited the Red Rock buffet, no one will be here, opened up travel itineraries.

Red Rock Canyon is located in Sichuan Province in the town of Chuanzhusi Pine County, fan, located in the famous Jiuzhaigou - Huanglong Scenic Area, between its highest peak at 5010 meters above sea level Red Rock, due to frost weathering and dissolution, the Ministry of mountain ridge bare rock, white in the pink, and rock at the foot of the original ancient jungle and Juanjuan ceaseless streams, dotted with colorful wildflowers, after thousands of inlaid turquoise alpine lakes, just like being in the Grand Canyon. Since ancient times, mysterious, spectacular Red Rock by the local Tibetans regarded as a sacred mountain to paradise.

Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong in between a little-known Grand Canyon

Our cars starting from Chengdu, 8 hours later arrived in d'asson fan Chuanzhusi. The next day, in charge of receiving our outdoor travel club's Little Deng Huang recruited two Tibetan capable young man, a man named colt, 1 called Geron, they pull to the eight fine horses, all the camping equipment and food bundles solid , we step onto his horse, pride washed off on heaven and earth.

Pure and lofty plateau of the sky, an endless stretches of green grass, Mani Dui streamer fluttering on the fly. A goshawk circling overhead, diving, we have hoping shouted. When our cavalry through the fence wall around the Tibetan village, please give us a lead the way when the old wizard had discovered a magpie standing on the tall wooden Tibetan barley drying on everyone's spirits will be raised even higher, a few a girl from the next pass rushing horses, their heads wrapped in turbans JANSEN manner, only showing a pair of beautiful big eyes.

Passed the village soon appear in front of a high slope, top of the hill stood a Cooper, a unique shape, which looks fairly vigorous. At this time, Georgia Long gave me a packet of paper, printed above, can not read Tibetan and icons, he said: "This is a dragon tat, after God's time, while wishing while throw, your desire to will be realized, "I am skeptical, pious putting it into the bag. Slope is very steep, the horse down, "the" shape of the horse Road, chic nodded, vigorous ground line.

After Cooper and embarked on a high slope, immediately plunged into a mysterious atmosphere, take the lead in the old wizard suddenly loudly the mantra to himself, and then suddenly threw up the sky dragon, and we like obsession in general, can not help but high - call: "Dragon up to the dragon tat!" and will be in the hands of struggling to throw pieces of paper, suddenly, colorful dragon up in the air rotating vapor, wind Piaowu. It flew along the direction of, I suddenly see the light: a huge gorge winds away, into the distant clouds, a red mountain looming, it is our goal - Red Rock.

Rocks found on the mysterious Tibetan

Along the steep slope down, lying on rocks along the way, horses were walking around shaking loose due to saddle, and I slip from the top down, but fortunately, fast enough, I harmlessly, simply go on holding horses. To the canyon mouth, the face of a large grassland, dotted with a cluster of a cluster of shrubs, two peaks stand, facing each other, forming a towering gates, a clear stream through the crack in the Mimi to rushes out. We dismount Event hands and feet, Jin Lejin saddle, after a short break, we rode Benru Canyon. Crystal horse splashes of water droplets, carrying us forward, we are excited to glance right and left.

Walk through streams, bush walk through the woods, and our cavalry suddenly stopped. Followed by the old wizard separate roadside trees, a large gray-black rock show in front of, next to a strange cypress tree was obviously conical, rock above me had written a few great mystery of Tibetan characters, a slap in the face size, stroke uniform, the structure is arranged in beautiful shape. At first glance, like chalk, and you look closely, is also found that the white rock, but also integrate with large rocks. According to the old wizard introduction, these Tibetan character that is the blessing of the discourse, the legend is a long time ago a well-known Tibetan living Buddha hands wander the seas by the book. The Grand Canyon in this uninhabited why Tibetan characters appear? Are man-made or natural coincidence? What is the time to come about? Why do characters embedded in the rock? We do not know.

Remote's sacred mountain

In the cliff under a lawn, we shore up the tent, pony and lattice Long unload all of the saddle, put the horse grazing in the surrounding far. We took Silver Bears deadwood, when Little Deng had fire health up. The United States and the United States to eat a meal, followed by horse to drink tea around the campfire. At this point the sky is already dark done, probably because for the first time to the elevation of 4,000 meters, I feel a little discomfort there, head a little swollen on the inside their tents and went to sleep. To get up early the next day, the weather was quite good, the air cool and moist mountains, breathing a few mouthfuls and felt refreshing. Ate breakfast there is no sugar in the butter tea, hard to swallow. Fully equipped to go after.

Chuiluo from sunny sky, making Dai-green mountains, white rock occasionally revealing more prominent, like a month of days has just fallen outside stone. White clouds drift and kept the sun block, and then dispersed. We are like a flock of devout pilgrims, among the misty clouds, step by step closer to the hearts of the Holy Land.

In addition to clip-clop and "Huchihuchi" breathing sound, the Grand Canyon Village will occasionally heard a Liangsheng birds, seems quiet unusual and far-reaching. Very high visibility in the mountains, in a mountain pass, I looked back to far left behind the companion, only to see a few small points in slowly moving. With thousands of years of history in the Grand Canyon, people look so tiny, so insignificant, as been through a million years ago, history, we are all filled with awe of it, without exception, the momentum for its magnificent photo of the earthquake.

As the altitude increases, more and more desolate mountains, and some surprisingly bare barren cliff, gray peaks and ridges pierce straight into the sky, in the Cheng blue skies, towering rock sharply angled features, like the Tibetan tough guy. After many years of erosion of wind and rain, there are many rocks fall from the mountain, large, such as the Big Dipper, the small size of a fist to form a film volumes of silver-gray slopes, desolation matter to matter to Kuang Yuan. In this masculine full situation, as many as a trickle-down from the hilltops, splashing, sparkling in the sun becomes extremely bright for those who have added a dash of gentle peaks Snob. We had some horses with swig. Layers of ridges and peaks, there have been a rosy as the tower-like peaks still visible, it is solemn Red Rock, it is so steep and unattainable, we not only looking at it in the recent local, there is no way contact with it. Well beyond the reach of one's sacred mountain.

Oriental Loch Ness - Red Lake

Around Red Rock, the wizard points to a slope of close to 60 degrees Yamaguchi said: "The above is the Red Lake." Refused to take away most of the day's fatigue, we Shuanhao horse, on foot climbing line. Here are close to 5000 meters above sea level, take two steps will be panting, limb weakness, every step is very difficult step. Assumed the saddle in the mountain breeze blowing feeling of rushing toward the ground squandering fans eyes, standing in Yamaguchi, the Rinpu look around, heroic feeling wells up.

Had finally seen the day of the Red Lake as a quiet lake, and it is like a deep blue gem set in the summit of mountains, white clouds drift in the lake around the constant transformation, a static one move, making unfathomable Red Lake is more mysterious, weird. Guide said that he was the last time to the Red Lake and found that somehow the lake to draw a water mark, from the right start to the central stop, calm as a mirror of the lake immediately Dangqi a ripple, a few meters in length may be an animal should do. As the wind was so strong, changing the lake, we stayed in the lake is only 1 hour on the cold shiver had to return immediately, and did not find any abnormality, it is regrettable. (Zhuang Rukui)
