Jialing River Moon Gap - Chuan-Shan Road (March 22)
14:00 pm overcast with light rain
By car from the Mianxian to Guangyuan, Sichuan about 150 kilometers, of which want to transfer Ningqiang County, Ningqiang County in Shaanxi Province. Guangyuan Hanzhong to the expressway has been opened, it only took the road less than three hours. When the car surging clouds, the sky more and more dark, then it began to rain soon. Rain hit the windows, the irregular drip settle down again, leaving a Road, the water mark.
Ningqiang south of the warehouses of rice into the Sichuan-Shaanxi border mountains, the rain has gradually stopped. Hanzhong plain that the sea has been enjoyable rape disappear everywhere, the composition of rocks and forest mountains, vehicles with alarming height of the Po to Guaiqu, crossing over several hills. Village where the growth of bamboo were eye-catching beauty, these bamboo forests and forest together.
Open the driver was not slow, however, were also severe shaking inside. I use headphones to listen to the music, and soon the tiredness coming, will be playing sleepy can not hold on to. I do not know after a long cold hurried I woke up under the car just driving from the steep slopes, and then through the famous overturned Ridge. I saw two sandwiched valley cloud-capped cliffs, the cliff ax Daoxue released a pale light, bare rock showing the shape and face ferocious anger. Fathomless valley, shrouded in a Wuhai being.
Yin 16:00 pm
I Guangyuan Center hotel stay there, and then proceed to the general bridge the bus ride to the town overturned. So come have found that the bus is the seven people sitting the car has been fully staffed, so ride motorcycles to 20 kilometers of the moon outside the Gorge, fare 12 yuan.
Gap next to wind all the way to reach the moon, in the management office to buy their votes, the first boat down to the Jialing River pier. Boatman see I was the only one who is not without complaints, but still off his rope anchor sail. Motor issued deafening roar, this is an old passenger ship.
I stood on the bow watching the moon gorge scenery, in front of winding waterways, both sides of the cliff gradually introduced the Jialing River to pour the water quiet, riverside magnificent rocks washed by water blanch. Precipice, on a number of scattered wood shelves, mottled incomplete, seems so long ago, boatman, said that the ancient ruins Plank Road. Plank Road on the hillside opposite, a train whistled through the cave.
Moon Valley, along with the breeze at 10 kilometers north gorge known as "the breeze moon Gap", which sounds reminiscent of the name would not help the first boat to stand facing the breeze, watching the moon, the kind of happily, and now living in its territory, Only fine and cool, Although there is no moon, hand in hand, down mood is not bad. But in a kind of poetic being, to witness the number of Chinese dynasties for the construction of the Sichuan-Shaanxi-channel shed blood and tears of Yukio? We also witnessed how much a never again return to the Warriors face?
Ship sailed out of two or three hundred meters, turned around and driven back to port. To scenic shore of the Plank Road where antique, Plank Road there are several old stone holes, is a beam supporting berm built by chisel, chiselling earliest history can be traced back over 2000 years ago.
Plank Road has long been dead, stone-hole was left unsolved, as relics, ancient buildings can be saved, but the trail has not be saved. The road is generated by the era, is changing with the times and the ever-changing face. I went to Guangdong and Jiangxi at the junction of Mei Guan Road travel, brilliant centuries traffic arteries was eventually abandoned, as antiquities, to me had a very strong feeling. Moon Gap also gone through the same narrow winding path Plank Road - Artificial Plank Road - the ancient post road in different forms, until they are now the roads and railways.
In the beautiful China, there are many roads birth, there are many roads abandoned, dying. The rise and fall of towns, and roads are inextricably linked. However, both in the mountains or the city, whether it is dense population areas or inaccessible places where the history of the pieces are evenly crisp the seasons scenery are also evenly distributed with. I am afraid this is a pleasant walk on the road in the bar!
