51. Siguniangshan. SARS
- Zodiac
Ever since the holiday has been, every 51, National Day is the best time I travel, although inevitably faced with the waves of people, but nothing to do seven days this would nonetheless be worthy of my own eyes. So, three years down, Xishuangbanna, the Three Gorges, Jiuzhaigou, Huangguoshu Falls, Zhangjiajie, Beihai, Haikou ...... all the way through it, freely.
This season, the five-day vacation, that time is also a lot less, so, I again chose to go out together, go to Siguniangshan to the nature to breathe fresh air, feel the beauty of nature. Just that, in this very period, after two days of travel, I really find that, no matter how far we walk, to how remote places, they can not escape the atmosphere of SARS.
Many visitors are familiar with the Leshan Giant Buddha, Emei Mountain, Jiuzhaigou, it may not be familiar with Siguniangshan. Siguniangshan attributable to the jurisdiction of the Aba Autonomous Prefecture Xiaojin County from Chengdu, about 220 kilometers west along by the Dujiangyan, Wolong Nature Reserve, a number of blocks to climb the rolling hills, the highest point above sea level by more than 4500 meters of Ba Langshan . Siguniangshan scenic spot by the Shuangqiao Gou, Chang Ping Gou and sea ditch, of which Chang Ping Gou mountain top is lined up in the big girl, two girl, mountain, mountains and Siguniangshan three girls, four mountain girl turned around four mountain is the highest elevation of 6250 meters. Japanese climbers were said to have been rather unsuccessful attempt to climb, as to whether China had been conquered, I have not yet verified.
No. 1 morning, we drove off from Chengdu, in the filling into the highway (Chengdu - Dujiangyan), the car only a handful of film, it seems really enthusiastic about SARS those who go out to play at the limit of the Chengdu people at home, and we Fortunately, their choice can not help but this time the benefits of traveling to: This is the only one of 51 non-crowded bar.
Car all the way to walk through Dujiangyan, to the vortex mouth, started to enter Aba boundaries. Car suddenly began to rise, and all falter, and so is our turn to discover, a group of staff are dressed in white one by one vehicle disinfection. It appears that SARS propaganda has reached millions of households and those of us uninvited guest is precisely those "pure land" need to strictly guard against the object.
Landscape in the car and hurried out of the window too, with the winding roads of the climb, we are also from early summer to early spring and then to winter, the snow-capped mountains towering in front of us a little bit closer, until his feet foot deep snow. This is already the second time I came here, the last time two years ago, is 51.
At that time, Shuangqiao Gou Lane has not yet covered with asphalt, and we walk through the rubble of the car, crackle crackle of the gravel banging body, and finally let us sacrifice the cost of tires for two days was able to smooth out the ditch. Wandering Masaoki has gone, so even the most to go to Chang Ping Gou failed to visit the scene.
Siguniangshan town where the call has grown, when our cars will has long, the influx of Tibetan women and men will one Zhang hotels leaflets fed to the window, but also energetically spoke "can be folded." It seems that we really come to the right, you know, two years ago, we are unable to find hotels Na Zhaoqian end up living in a home basement, this time may be some choice.
Long Zhen in Japan, our car was again intercepted, and asked the Food won the car, go to registration, medical personnel inside the vehicle once again Zai Zai thin disinfected smell of disinfectant permeates the taste, I must once again I think that when you are looking to forget the words in the tour: SARS.
Night we stay in a hotel called the Xin Hong, the window is a branch of the Minjiang River, water gurgling, reminds me of a young man, read seems to be known as Chong Zhi-ming of the writer to write an article --- waves on the study -- - He said that the Dead Sea, but also thought the same young man, read an essay: I looked on turning streams of sleep.
No. 2 morning, driving to Chang Ping Gou, lamasery do a good job of preparing Once again, we hired horses suffered the impact of SARS. Lamasery where a lot of horses are missing the original trace, the staff just told we have no horses, only on foot. The front of the two destinations have the most recent round trip 4 hours, Siguniangshan the foot of the "wooden mule" is from the day according to plan. No way, no horses to walk it, at least no longer in vain one back, we have endured a gradual increase in elevation, panting can only walk forward.
Then a Tibetan girl passed from us, "Why not horses?" "Do you have SARS outside, we can not give you ride a horse." The little girl answered me very surprised and very shocked. When we dragged his exhausted body finally reached the mid-point station "withered Beach", the Tibetan people who ask us again, "outside of the atypical pneumonia."
Out of the scenic area, but also a Tibetan woman who is on-street management personnel to reflect the situation, the effect that "first entered inside there is a child had been coughing."
Walking the streets of Long Zhen in Japan, we see an interesting phenomenon: the tourists from overseas, as we generally do not wear masks, but the local elderly and infirm persons, including scenic spot ticket they are all heavily armed. We believe that nature has a fresh air, it is natural that does not require a mask; And they are the group of people living in the depths of the mountain people, but because we increase the arrival of a number of at least a theoretical risk, so they wore masks to prevent us.
Perhaps we should not have to disturb their peaceful life bar, even though we are often the name of prosperity and tourism economy, a slogan, but even without SARS, we would not undermine the kind of primitive, natural then?
Because there is no horse, so we do not have to "wooden mule", but far in the identification of trance in the clouds kept trained on the "four girls", and the most primitive simple photo record of the tour had been to this one.
