In April, a rainy day, we went to West Zhejiang Grand Canyon a pedestrian play.
Speeding vehicles in the Shanghai-Hangzhou highway, rain had unknowingly hard. All a little disappointed, but who know that a formal arrangement of God, let us see the extraordinary beauty of the rain, western Zhejiang.
We start from Shanghai, Friday 4:00 pm, 7:00 pm to arrive in Linan. Hotel accommodation Tianmu conditions can also be, in the intermittent rain, we safely sleep.
Early the next morning, we went to Zhelin waterfall and jianmenguan. Changhua on our car to be able to change into the valley of the minibus, in the narrow winding mountain can only be two cars pass by slowly on the road to the depths of the canyon. This is a moderate rain to the valley 1 scene and each object has cast a veil, looking out the window, far from the rolling hills and misty, the faint is a thick green vegetation, covered with the entire hillside peaks overlay hiding in the sea of fog. Open the windows, the mountains and humid atmosphere mixed with a few rain spots from surfacing, it is relaxed and happy, there is a special kind of rich, let dry in the city long-infiltration of the heart suddenly. Canyon streams rose up, in the winding mountain road side carefree to flow, sometimes lavish, sometimes delighted, sometimes torrents. Waterfalls one after another so that our eyes overwhelmed, there is a level of long rolled out, there is a layer of two three-tier ladder that has been in the water for two boulders Yi Che, there are winds from the slopes of the slot where murmur shed . Acoustic rumble, but it covers not live our amazing natural is so beautiful. There is an interesting little episode, a person in order to better enjoy the scenery along the way, in the parking intermittent, with only a few tissues to wipe the window next to him had a replacement in this beauty went so far as such a obsessed!
By Yan-sheng Zhelin waterfall waterfall waterfall and the gantry composed of up and down are enormous differences in acoustic rumble, as if to a hydropower station. According to legend, there is an old man named Yan-sheng a bath here, one day he mysteriously disappeared, no longer heard ever since, with this speculation, he falls away, so he called Yan-sheng waterfall. Whether legend or true, if it is in summer, we will certainly follow the Yan-sheng, in this Qinglie waterfall in the luxury of bathing.
Jianmenguan because there are like a sword standing either side of two peaks on both sides of the canyon is named. But we is not seen, I just feel a deep gorge here, next to cliffs, pens, straight, and some of them more than ninety degrees, can be used to bungee jumping. Traversed the iron chain bridge between two mountains, as long distance, so shaking was very powerful to see the following pour the stream, but added a little bit, "Lu wins will fly bridge" feeling. In the following a lot of large stones piled on the beach, along a block of stone to move forward, you can reach the central stream, to feel the "mainstay" feeling. Floating rafts could take me for a moment, but fast-flowing, Tandi unpredictable, no one dared.
Move forward along the south bank of the valley, water, sound great, river rapids, the road twists and turns, ups and downs on both sides of the mountain winds, and this is the so-called small-Gorge bar. In addition to the river is not wide enough, mountain is not high enough, the feeling was certainly a little gorge. Especially walking in the wood, take the ropeway, the soles of your feet are rolling stream, girls would never let go of the hand railings of.
Can be stopped, to find a bamboo raft, put on coir raincoat, shoulders carry two osprey, to a fisherman's close-up, but I doubt whether there would be rolling in streams where fish presence.
The next day we plan to go white water streams and climb mountains, God made the United States, give us a sunny day. See the girl on the small group who have come up with already prepared equipment, sunglasses, baseball cap, sunscreen, full-scale armed themselves, but also because we should feel heartened by the arrival of immense challenges. 8 am departure from Hangzhou, 10 points to reach the town of Linan Wang Quan Hang Osaka.
Few households here, but all the surnames XI. According to legend, before there is a named Xi Hyakuichi people, yearning Tao Yuan-ming's "mining Ju Tori, the leisurely to see the mountain", so to give up their official posts in the civil Youyi to find their own paradise. When he went to white water streams and saw the mountains and bamboo, scenery rather the United States, therefore the whole family moved here. "Prefer to eat no meat, can not live without bamboo," said Xi Gong's famous locals, but I thought to myself Xigong Caigaobadou, the above sentence is definitely the future generations. Centuries later, descendants of Xi Gong to survive, to the formation of the current spring Village (spring pits the name quite vulgar, and certainly the descendants of the masterpiece, or the name of a good white water stream). Villagers here are simple and sincere, the mountain is very clean, with farming, mining bamboo for a living, do not raise livestock and poultry. Many tourists think that the chicken here is definitely authentic, one after another chip in to buy, in fact, the so-called chicken restaurants here are also from other parts of the farms bought, we can not be fooled ah.
Only one way up the mountain is a white water stream from top to bottom along the direction of repair of the. Stream in the spring clear bottoming out, there is no little pollution. Can be seen the way a variety of waterfalls, very spectacular, ten-mile Bamboo with waterfalls, streams-hui form a contrast, attractive scenery.
The middle of the road there is a bifurcation, we can never do wrong, and a road extension stream and, on a road straight up the hill, in the Peak will come together. If you want to enjoy the spring ding-dong, waterfalls and vast bamboo forest, and you walk a stream of that one; And if you want to exercise endurance and explosive power, big bang, straight into the Peak, left straight up the hill of that one.
Peak elevation of 1095 meters, has developed attraction is the white water Xianqiao, is a miracle of nature, that is, a huge stone, just like to lay in the middle valley, the following is a gurgling waterfall several sub-class, torrents down.
In fact, these wonders of scenery can not be called anything, but the white water stream has a unique means to attract us, it was his return to natural, honest neighbor. Here summer holidays is certainly a good choice.
There was an interesting thing. In the foot of the mountain, we have inadvertently visited a houses, there is an old man shoots at the house door stripping. He calls what we expected out of the warm greeting us. He has 75-year-old legs have rheumatism, inconvenience to walk, but they still come up with its own new tea reception us, and we warmly and chatted with him asking your question on that. We are his family's old house is full of interest, reception room, wooden beams, earth stove, brazier, bamboo baskets, are full of local flavor. Mentioned earlier a lot of things, such as chicken, Hyakuichi the public, are from here. We posed for pictures with him and discuss the address, sent the photo. The elderly are Xi Hyakuichi's descendants, called Xi Kun Tian, very good. Pass into the right side of the house in and out of the sundries market, the door on the right there is a trail up the mountain, move forward 50 meters or so, there is a two-story building at the front there is a large terrace, from here you can see the sundries market.
In the afternoon sun, we left the white water streams. Four hours later, we have returned with a face of eolian Shanghai. Noisy and quiet, just a short period of time and space for this kind of transformation.
