My husband and I after a month of meticulous planning, is scheduled for mid to late to bring 8 to 10-year-old young girls self-tour of Sichuan.
The travel route from the set: Chengdu (Temple of Marquis) - Songpan - Huanglong - Jiuzhaigou - Chengdu - Emei - Leshan - Qingcheng Mountain - Chengdu (Du Fu's Thatched Cottage), lasted 11 days. The general feeling is:
Scenic America, journey insurance,
Seen and heard many feelings deep,
Inspired by big, tibial weakness,
Spiritual harmony, the benefits abundance.
Tourist destination in the above-mentioned features will now be the main line started narrative, heads of state, 20000 words, in order to form the feelings of pleasure.
Chengdu chapter - cloud of, parasol, green *, Night Light, Red hot
August 18 at noon, the aircraft arrived in Chengdu Shuangliu Airport smoothly at the airport to the city on the road, we saw blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, it was the driver of the Road, this is just so yesterday's storm is over. Really did not last long, and the remaining 10 days in Chengdu city's air are hazy mist, even if the sun is high, still not seen a trace of blue sky, and later that month by the Central Plains - Chengdu is located in Sichuan Basin, pelvic floor, the city's air by four weeks block mountains is not easy mobility, combined with urban pollution, resulting in the urban areas over the mist-filled, feel the air dirty. Anti-back look at our Guangzhou, in the "change in three years, a", the blue sky is always visible, a reflection of the excellent air quality, ecological environment optimization.
Chengdu, more than a bike on the streets of Guangzhou to be more intelligent people in order to withstand the sun heat, in the central installation of bicycle handle the sun umbrella. Colorful parasol on the road on the shuttle, to Chengdu, the city has added a beautiful scenery.
We reached the first one to visit Chengdu, the goal is "Temple of Marquis." The afternoon of August 18, Ti Du Street, from our three-star accommodation Shu Du Mansion Hotel start playing (Chengdu taxi prices starting at 5 yuan, 1.4 yuan per kilometer) to the Temple of Marquis at the main entrance (ticket 30 yuan / person). Concerning this temple was built in the Western Jin Dynasty Court, is to commemorate the Three Kingdoms period of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang set up. Browse to the house of representatives a number of the Three Kingdoms era of clay, such as Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, also be regarded as a lesson history lesson.
Away from home life to Maek, transport problems of particular concern. We are in Guangzhou, "taxi" are dressed in the same "gray top red body" while Chengdu's "taxi" is another kind of landscape - yellow top green body, and in a central location on the front cover printing a circular pattern panda. I would like to do - Guangzhou Kapok is represented in red, taxi labeled red body; Chengdu attractions, scenic numerous clear, and the origin of the giant panda itself, it will be his taxi into a green body design coupled with panda logo as decoration. This shows that we should do things to consider their cultural heritage, in order to make a considerable depth, to give meaning, it is unforgettable works.
A city's commercial center reflects a microcosm of urban construction and development. This is two years, I have been to Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, Kunming and other cities, these cities (including Guangzhou, we have taken into account) of the Commercial Street in terms of design, layout, decoration
(Note: "green" refers to the green taxi services)
And size can not match in Chengdu Chunxi Road Commercial Pedestrian Street. Walking Street is said that this was rebuilt in May this year, decoration completed
Special government to demonstrate changes in the pedestrian street, in the streets set up a row of light boxes on the bulletin boards, far from the Ming and Qing to the founding of the PRC before and after pictures and text with the rise and fall of the Commercial Street are described and compared, so that people can not only commercial street material on the enjoyment of shopping to be better to experience the changes of time, so that spirit of mold.
Today China's major, the city set off a wave to the big mega trends of urban development, trying to respective cities bigger, well, in order to attract foreign investment. Hisai South Gate, Guangzhou, already had a taste of "the year of a small change in three years, a change" in Guangzhou City, to give the "clear mountain, green water, blue sky" This is gratifying changes. Chengdu is no exception, star hotels, grand restaurants, the center square, street landscaping, bright street lamps are being groomed for the Tianfu's, especially at night, the shuttle in the new area on the main street, all kinds of street lamps, decorative lights Da-fang light, in particular, point to the layout of its decorative lights - hidden in the ground, hanging in the air, the compiled pattern, and so varied, its color light refracted into the sky, buildings, tree trunks, the intersection into a feast for the eyes of the night, even my less outsiders have sighed in Guangzhou.
There are four Chinese cuisine, including Sichuan especially the "spicy" as the feature. It is not see do not know, a see astounded and characteristics of the so-called Chengdu snacks "Zhong dumplings" is nothing but glowing with red chili miso soup mix with a few dumplings, and "Fuqi feipian" also is only a number of cattle offal bubble miso soup in the above, we are outsiders to eat really spicy too overfly them, whole body sweating, tears, DC. Whenever the road when ordering dinner, if you ask any of the dishes spicy, if the waiter in Cantonese just a little spicy, you are also the top will not ring true, and absolutely not dish, only to be totally hot, otherwise it a little spicy dishes can only be used after the water rinse before eating. The first night we went to Chengdu on the go "snacks in Chengdu City" a taste of one of the "hot taste", as well as this long-established in the state of "Aunt" service life customer "involved" low-level of service.
"Du Fu Thatched Cottage" is our last day in Chengdu that the morning of August 28 the last leg of tour playing. Is the great poet Du Fu Thatched Cottage in order to avoid "Shih Rebellion" and by the home location, to commemorate the great poet, the refurbishment of all ages. Mostly inside the lotus, bamboo courtyard layout to show the poet's her side breeze. Of course, ultimately, is that Du Fu's life, statues, poems and so on. It is worth mentioning that the exhibition has a great poet Li Bai, Du Fu and Shixian each other on the wine when the songs and poems do the statue is very realistic characters, even the back of the hand on the blood vessels are clearly visible, will give visitors a view of the praise beyond.
(Jon read the text even as a doggerel, Xin Shou Nian-lai),
Shudu at the Department of fog dust indistinct,
Cured Nan Yan Chuan hot red,
Liu Bei Du Fu this is still expensive,
Chunxi prosperity race Guangdong.
Songpan chapter - towers, chill, horse manure, ocean ghost
Hsu at 8:00 on August 19, we are on the same day the new terminal opening of the new south gate of the green bus ride to Jiuzhaigou, a woman and two men on board three "Ghosts" and the rest of a number of field FIT A total of 20 people. Turning vehicles in the city touting two terminal, time-consuming more than 40 minutes, at full strength after (26) has finally set foot on the way to destination, the right way to Jiuzhaigou.
Our bus is along a line leading to Jiuzhaigou's the most convenient routes (Chengdu - Dujiangyan - Wenchuan - Maoxian - Songpan - Chuanzhusi - Huanglong - Jiuzhaigou), Chengdu to Dujiangyan City is a highway, after it has been two roads, reportedly arrived in Jiuzhaigou to drive 12 hours or so, and the rugged mountain, and danger, the rumor has been out of this route is also traffic accidents. Led us to purchase the first row of coach seats, has deliberately transferred to third from the bottom row, of course, dangerous journey to safety as the most important (this is the principle), it is necessary to know "Tourism Festival will, life is even more."
Because along the Minjiang River is the source of Jiuzhaigou, so the river water quality Jiao You. As the saying goes, "Kiyoyama green water landscape show" clear mountains and green water always rely on each other, but present in the green water just in front of me, but not see Kiyoyama. Ash gray, but no trees, mountains incessant, I am truly bleak. Inquire from the locals-know a Central Plains - in the past as a one-sided pursuit of economic development, excessive logging of forests, leading to panic now only sporadic hills dotted with a number of short grass, but also the past two years in the "Grain for Green", driven by did not emerge until the next scene. I meditate in the car, in this "Qiongshan Xiushui" will appear behind the desirable, beautiful exotic Jiuzhaigou do ... ...? Send only hope, "vista."
Am to noon, bus-pass dinner, and we along with dry food for personal use, but get off Extends foot exhibition waist, avoid "street shop" dirty obstruct chopped a fortune.
Get off at the roadside fruit stalls, there are apples, plums and so on, but perhaps the reason thin mountain roadside is not necessarily strong build and a lot of fruit trees, fruit thin, fruity enough. The only advantage is cheap, Apple 0.8 yuan / jin, smoothly, said the few catties for the road Diabetes.
There is a way leading to Jiuzhaigou termed "Diexi Lake" attractions. We have not heard of before, "Haizi" the name for, only "the sea, Jianghai, the Gulf, islands, beaches, harbor," and so on. "Haizi" name for the reason for that was due to an earthquake in a particular year because here the formation of depressions, Minjiang water accumulated in the local people here have not seen the original in the sea, so this low-lying blue pool called "Haizi." Cars here, just add water break, we have to get off the stretch tibia, by the way appreciate the first time to see the "Haizi." Hi! Although she is not a perfect landscape, but her spacious sea, blue water has been able to feast for the eyes, a car could not wait to Ben Wang viewing hall visitors take pictures, trail while there are many sunflowers in full bloom, daughter pointed it say - this is my "lucky flower."
After 10 hours of mountain bumps on August 19 around 5:30 pm, reaching 330 km away from Chengdu, the historical town of Songpan town. It is the history of the famous border city has been known as the "gateway to West Sichuan." Who have "loose state." This is said to "loose state" than the Tiananmen Gate tower is also wide and 8 cm. Tubo Songtsan this war with the Tang army. Pm to sunset, the temperature dropped, we have to bring clothes covered with thick, in the town's main street stroll, according to locals Road: This is going to until after 20 o'clock at night.
Town on the streets "Hui Hui" (locals) selling mutton string, string with a string of lamb can be sold at different prices, foreign ghost 10 yuan / string, the Japanese 5 yuan / string, the locals 0.5 yuan / string, we have to buy 0.7 Yuan / string, open people who really see the price go to hell ghost shouted price. Even so, we have to "eat as a fast (music)!"
Local are now more mature, "riding tour Dragon" travel line, thus provoke a lot of Ghosts and the Japanese, we stay at the "Pine State" the ancient city of the sun next to River House hotel, where the waiter will speak simple Japanese, domestic tourists are relatively less. Due to the existence of professional horseback, leading to the streets of horse manure everywhere, although the obstacle to the town of capacity, but the landscape but added a remote mountain country flavor. Songpan county highland climate, my daughter sleep at midnight Zhanzhuan was originally a reaction to the altitude felt chest tightness stretching.
As the Songpan Huanglong shuttle bus bound for the early morning start will be 6:00 (too early!), Only one bus a day. Forces us to stay at the hotel chartered (300 million) to Huanglong.
State of the ancient city of Pine Hill cold,
Spending the Night ancient tower next to the
Hui selling mutton string,
Foreign ghost riding competition to be busy,
Middle of the night young girls Zhanzhuan sleep,
Beginning of altitude sickness rampant.
Huanglong chapter - snow-capped mountains, Yao Chi, chest tightness, Pole car passing on the winding mountain road. May be approaching the sake of scenic, beautiful eyes are now shown a street scene - a small village on the hillside slopes in the sheep, horses inside the cove, flat curved mountain street dotted with small scattered wildflowers, occasionally to see roadside tourist caravan to the Dragon (only 2-3 hp). At that time the sky is gray lifeless, and not see the sun, not seen blue sky, low cloud cover held down. But when the car climb more than 4,000 meters above sea level, "Snow Liang", the picture is completely different - blue skies, bright sunshine, the deep dense forest, beauty of the scenery can not help but want to halt off camera, but unfortunately their headache chest, unable to move any inconvenience , is indeed strong enough to Xinyou Yu, no matter whether.
Huanglong is located in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Songpan County, because of their bright colors and the landscape resembles a dragon named. Its highest peak "Xuebaoding" 5588 meters above sea level, and to pool, snow-capped mountains, canyons, forests "four absolutely" known known to the world, known as "the Holy Land in Wonderland, Renjianyaochi."
Songpan to Huanglong lasted more than two hours in the morning 10 o'clock we arrived in Huanglong. Huanglong is a blue sky thousands of miles that day, the sun shines. Sunny weather and exciting. Strange, Huanglong wang in front of people and vehicles is not only because of tourist groups come from Jiuzhaigou, to wait until noon, only to Huanglong great. Purchase tickets (110 yuan / person), walks stone steps, only a sense of the deep forest quiet, fresh air, the main attractions welcome pools, waterfalls flow-hui, gold waterfall diarrhea silver, blooming color pool, Yucui pools and other real beautiful , well-deserved reputation, Wucaiche in the blue water color, layered Yao Chi, so that it became a great Huanglong scenic landscape.
Huanglong travertine landscape second to none, litter of broken branches, and scatter Bai Ye, pour water, rotten wood, and a variety of submerged plants in the color pool through the travertine activities "耔crystal effect", the trunk, and their branches and form their own roots, etc. disappear, while the leaves was able to clearly show its original form, context clear, like a well-preserved "plant fossil", form strange, strange in the water constitutes a rate of three-dimensional picture.
My daughter is running on weekdays climbing ahead of us adults, but also in the "wild way" on the run, but today is indeed a result of the plateau reflect only a headache, chest tightness, listlessness, take the mountain is starting, step a staggering two-step one sitting interest rates, strong to fight a smile When I am photographing. Saw her daughter in this shape, as a mother can do nothing for the Left indeed, I am truly ashamed to face. Am to noon had not climbed halfway up the mountain, it seems that we think the body is not a problem, reflecting the phenomenon of plateau attach enough importance to be prepared as early as bags of drugs and oxygen may be able to ease the pain. Fortunately, there are well-meaning passers-by will be generous relative to the oxygen through the bag, but only a palliative. Some people along the way by doing "Pole" (double chair), if her daughter take the "Pole", the sharp drop in tourism fun Moreover climbing in harsh environments is also a test of people's will, let her to accept the exercise bar!
Looking Xuebaoding,
Snow Liang,
Huang Xin road,
High-mountain hard.
View of blue sky thousands of miles,
Sigh travertine Yao Chi,
Wang towering snow-capped mountains,
Suspect illusion paintings poetry.
Acute mountain sickness,
Step in a limp,
Elevation of 4000 feet,
Perseverance sign mountains.
The most beautiful colored pool,
After the hard bitter experience,
Thousands of miles under the mountain,
Semi-bearers in accordance with weigh.
Jiuzhai chapter - Qing Shan, sea, Plank Road, your price is a saying, "Guilaibukan Huangshan Mountain, Jiuzhaigou Guilaibukan water" says that he read a number of online articles related to Jiuzhaigou, in which he is beautiful scenery Xiuse praise are good, even though how hard journey, but also Road is worthwhile.
With regard to the origin of the name Jiuzhaigou, the guide book described like this:
According to legend, in charge of vegetation, the god of all things has nine smart courageous, beautiful and kind-hearted daughter, came to 10 peaks above, see Yi Mo in the water poisoning, livestock dead. They defeated Yi Mo, to stay with the nine Tibetan men getting married. Together to rebuild their homes, after the formation of the nine tribes, separated 9 Walled Laos, so the name "Jiu Zhai Gou."
Jiuzhaigou ready to play according to plan 2 days (usually 1 day tour), the first day of sightseeing car ride to see the trench Jiuzhai picture of her to do a full range of perceptual knowledge. Downstream along the Plank Road the next day, trying to let off any one attraction, a "chewing food thoroughly," intentions taste essence landscape, give him a "kill the wrong person not let go."
At 9:30 on September 21 Xu, suddenly it began to drizzle a few drops. Jiuzhaigou be purchased at the door two times into the ditch tickets (the first ticket 145 yuan / person + tourist ticket 90 yuan / person, the second ticket 40 yuan / person, a total of 3 sets). Into the gate, get on tourist vehicles (CMB or bus), Shi Jue visitors rare, have asked a large number of tourist guides-to-know already about 7:00 into the ditch on the. After our scenic spots along the way because of fewer tourists, so no sense of commotion. Mizoguchi reach 10 km away from the "long sea", is also the largest deepest Haizi Jiuzhaigou. Jiuzhaigou scenic spots to form a "Y"-shaped distribution, the long-Sea is located "Y" shape of the upper-left corner, is the widest Jiuzhaigou lake, the deepest lake Haizi, and as high as 3103 meters above sea level. Perhaps the reason is due to water depth of it, it emerged the lake blue ink color.
From long sea down in front of the Jiuzhaigou displayed the most exquisite, the color of the most gorgeous rich, charming the most attractive of the lake - "Wucaiche." Huanglong remember there is "Wucaiche," but the two colors, the structure is different. Jiuzhaigou's Wucaiche in the blue lake, bright, deep lake, Huanglong's Wucaiche in color with blue water, but the color is slightly shallow, and is pieced together with a small pond, lake is very shallow low. Sense of the former than the latter to be slightly better.
Jiu Zhai water is the soul of Jiuzhaigou, water the color of rich and colorful, but also with the bottom of the calcification is closely related substances. Of water flowing from the mountains are rich in calcium and magnesium ions, the water temperature of the event suitable for release into granular material, and continuous release of the bound water attached to floating objects and fine dust slag sank underwater, Also covered in the Digeng, trunk, branches and gradually calcified substances were wrapped, resulting eventually in a variety of underwater wonders of nature Shengongguifu saddening.
From the Plank Road down to the "Y"-shaped cross-point, we intend to take the green bus directly to "Y"-shaped right vertices (high point) - virgin forest, and then from high to Di Zou.
Jiuzhaigou has an area of vast untouched the deep forest, exposure to the forest, at the foot stepping on the soft moss and leaves a deep, fragrant nose sniffing the damp air, ears listening to Greenfield and the birds were found on wild forest mountain breeze blowing, the eyes look lush forests, as if we come to another world, suddenly feeling a kind of a sight to behold.
Down along the way, means "Sea Grass", "Jian Zhuhai", "Xiongmao Hai", "Wu Huahai," both because of their different characteristics and named Hai Zi. "Sea Grass" luxuriant fragrant grass, quiet and tranquility, Grass and reflection exist side by side, there are waterfowl swimming among the inter-. And "Jian Zhuhai", "Xiong Maohai," it is because Haizi four weeks covered with the bamboo pandas like to eat before does have giant pandas at this haunted, of course, is now no longer exist. Far the most exciting to be number "Wu Huahai" the.
Wu Huahai that there was "absolutely Jiuzhaigou 1" and "Jiuzhai essence," said, more enjoyable feeling. Her blue, clear, "Coral BEDDING" lake verify Shengongguifu theory.
(Late August, wrote the most beautiful Wu Huahai, but also be getting better, self-gratifying, memorable occasion, but the workload has been unable to extract a more complete freedom of time for me to complete this Random Notes can only be shelved.
A delay of about 4 months, was finally able to come out of free ink for me, this trip has shed. In late December, I opened the computer to prepare and then, "Wu Huahai" look under the writing, but suddenly found that idea has been substantially better than the past, they have to turn to trace memory album. But who knows how long some of her daughter to be proud of the photos from the "transfer" and save it in her personal photo album in, so I carefully organize this [in chronological order, along with "notes" and "Description"]'s Photo Album oblivious to become fragmented beyond recognition and look into the post so I was so upset very much. Helpless, only Chennai patiently "to regain the old mountains and rivers." )
Visitors to swim in the Wu Huahai the Plank Road on the sea can be seen there is light blue, and blue, ink blue. Dead wood submerged in the sea has become a beautiful coral. Beauty of the scenery, young and old, all smiling, even in the great scenic spots such as digital pictures of before, but also modesty comity, no war of words, it seems the environment nurtures.
Came to a broad and wild flowers in full bloom on the shallows, my daughter is issued a "Wow! Wow!" Humming, can not help but dance to open to. Mid-slope, a little white lambs playing in the bow, my daughter asking for Qubao, but I discovered that a small leg of lamb was a small string bolt on the branches. Looked up, five meters away, lying on a straw hat Yanmian with the elderly, oh! It turned out he is a master of lamb, and asked to know the rear holds a lamb went so far as to pay 5 yuan. 3 yuan, after haggling the transaction, holding my daughter loves it at hand, of course, should be pictured. (This trip to Sichuan consumed a total of 12 rolls of film, Wu Huahai a film up to the murder of the last of the photos to enlarge the number of its best effect.)
As the trench play we have arranged for 2 days, throughout the attractions will have plenty of time to stay, we did not ride again, but along the Plank Road, a leisurely tour to a fine art that slow the landscape everywhere. Perhaps walking tours are mostly ride road sake bar, along the Plank Road visitors scarce, and occasionally can be seen two Ghosts and a few Japanese. This is to Laode a clean, we have three people can take pictures anywhere, anywhere in the rest, small meals, my daughter could not wait even in the case to the trees and plants, "Shi-point fat." Down to the Plank Road is also free to stream in the woods outside the play, a thorough experience the cool stream water for the skin caused by jolly feeling.
Many people have seen the TV drama "Journey to the West", may not remember the four ways to hate Mentoring waterfalls, wading, but after the title sequence. This is the essence spots "Pearl Beach Waterfall" framing made of. Here, "Pearl Beach Waterfall" is a gentle slope, covered with a variety of bushes shallows. Shoal full of potholes along the slope down the rapids in the holes in the impact, splashes of numerous Duo spray, in the sunlight, the little bit of water droplets like pearls floating down.
It is worth mentioning is the "mirror the sea." According to local tour guide said, mirror the sea is only 8,9 o'clock in the morning and the sun does not shine on the trench, 5,6 o'clock in the afternoon sunset, but also in the calm conditions, in order to enjoy the lake to the water scene cents without distortion copied to water down, became the reflection of dominant Jiuzhaigou, we did not dare as a mirror reflection of the vivid and amazing sea.
View mirror when the sea 4,5 o'clock in the afternoon, the district staff diligent tourists rushing to leave reminders, but also lie Road, do not leave there would be no cars out of the ditch. In fact, they do really have to make visitors feel disappointed, but we have already seen through his tricks, as far as travel is not wrong, is not its impact Bale.
(To be continued)
