Leave Yidun, in the 318 national highway running about 15 kilometers, arriving Cop Mizoguchi's tsor'a village, our car into a country on this path, and then travel over 10 kilometers to reach our trip's first travel destination land ---- a "paradise on earth," said Cop Scenic ditch.
This path is a typical Tibetan countryside paths: a rough rough dirt road, very narrow, paved by pebbles and mud simple, localized sites could see big water had been washed off the scene. The road is not good, and some sections in order to Tangshui the past, there are 23 places where we hang-wheel-drive car was passed. The temporary bridge across the river is a large timber by Jigen direction of Da Cheng Shun, just be able to pass a car. Bridge from the water about 1-2 meters, the companies felt more dangerous on the bridge!
Highway along the Pakistan qu upstream, extending to the Cop ditch. Pakistan qu is not deep, the river clear, although the relatively fast flow rate, channel is not dangerous for rafting activities.
Cop groove scenic area is stretching hundreds of square kilometers of mountains, thick pine forest mountains, cold spruce forest, mountain oak forest, mountain songbailin, poplar and birch, larch forests, alpine shrubbery covered with all kinds of trees alone, forest, shade blocks out the sun , sequence house in order, green everywhere and has maintained integrity of the original ecosystem, known as "the East Alps" is a tourist destination has not yet been developed. Such a beauty, but this one person who rarely visit the main reason, I am afraid or because the road, because at present there are only off-road vehicles in order to enter into the groove going. Today, only our car entered the ditch to go.
From Cola to enter Cop ditch conservation area about 8 kilometers, you see the front of the smoke, vapor, blowing hot air rushing toward us, the original, this is the famous hot-pit groove Cop geothermal field. Spring, large and small, of various shapes, spilled on the hillside, the road beside the forest, the fields, cliffs, the river side, diffuse across the valley, hot air rising and moving forward to a Unit. From the relevant information in that mineral-rich hot spring water pit on the skin diseases, rheumatism, etc. have a special effect, is known far and the "medicine spring." Hot Pit hot spring, the most unique and spectacular than the most famous of the three geysers, including the smallest one on the eruption of more than 10 minutes every time. Without a drop of water in the dry cave and saw the spring slowly gathered, suddenly spring into crystal-like beads lavished on the air, pretty soon, the entire cave becomes dry without a drop of water in; the middle of one every two three hours eruption time. I saw one meter tall fountain beads sudden crack, white fog-like vapor like a red sky, the whole process of sustainable over 10 minutes; The most spectacular geysers, erupting only once a day. Eruption of the water column of up to four or five meters, steam rose into the sky in the sunlight to form a magnificent rainbow, extremely spectacular, the water column temperature up to 100 degrees or higher, you can cook eggs, is the hottest of hot springs throughout the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau . Circulated among the local people saw the eruption of geysers and hot pit, give bring unexpected good fortune.
In early 2001, Cop ditch pit hot geothermal field has been formally identified as the provincial state departments give priority to the development of the geological park.
Continue to advance, we saw road flanked by forests and the time when emergency relief streams, large and small waterfalls fall from the sky. The more the more feeling to the trench to go to the wonderland. Car turning a corner, eyes suddenly see the light, endless prairie chapter Germany suddenly greet our eyes. In the snow-capped mountains under the chapter ring pro-German prairie is simply a beautiful picture: cattle and sheep leisurely stroll on the grass, herders tents rising smoke curl, a unique high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau straw silhouetted against the azure sky, endless steppe. Really doubt the beauty of the sky fell to earth! Standing in front of a huge rock on the plains, like a meteorite fall from heaven, the inscription, "the sixth mantra" (Om, Well, then, pit, microphones and hum), legend of King Gesar suppression of demons This is the boulder, called " Haimen stone. " Our car walk through streams, across the prairie, from the "Haimen Stone" next to the mountains not far, and finally see the "Kamba first holy lakes" - Cop lake! Lying on the mountains surrounded by lakes in the Cop was actually so beautiful! So quiet! Lake surrounded by the forest, the clear water, green trees, blue sky exist side by side. It is said the lake beautiful swans and black-necked crane, and said those who mind can not concentrate on this view of the lake when the pilgrims could see the lake appeared out of temples, pagodas, and the Rainbow, etc. Mirage. We traveled all the way along bumpy here, mind, is nothing less than sincere, unfortunately, these phantom we did not see it.
Cop smell the lake as early as the "fish, shouting," We came to the lake, gently clapped his hands, throngs of naked carp and sweetlips flowers highland fish, indeed open the floodgates to swim to the shore, waiting for us to "charity "Food. We show that the prepared biscuit into the lake, as much as tens of thousands of fish in the clear water in the competition for food, issued a "Papa Pa ......" sound extremely spectacular! Hands into the water, there will be many fish to "kiss" your fingers, very cute. Did not expect to be the case here, to get close to nature, so we are very happy, very touched.
Cop ditch ecological protection, well, wild animals, extremely high. Here man and nature, man and animals exist in harmony. Groove of wild animals from the fear of man.
Mysterious Cop Cop Lake Temple is located in the forest, grassland, Cop Temple rolling back in accordance with Full Metal Jacket Bo Kamiyama, in the face Cop lake, and great momentum, dignified simplicity, is a typical Tibetan architecture. Temple-hall sculpture, murals exquisite workmanship. Buddhist monks and nuns who have over a hundred temples. Wind around the temple and the temple came flying streamer bursts of sound make you feel Fahao to the temple to mystery to it. In this ascetic monks and nuns and the surrounding environment in harmony for many years has been integrated with nature.
In the Cop Si Wai, we accidentally ran into County Tourism Bureau Deputy Director Mr. Han Yong, who is accompanied by a few tourists come from Guangzhou --- they are traveling in a Toyota vehicle license Nanchong, the first day into the ditch to , the travel itinerary with us. Mr. Han to see us, very warm, immediately invited to join us to visit in person to take us to various spots, carefully explaining for us. Mr. Han tells us: He is now under suspended duties assigned to any township party secretary Cola, focusing on the wrong grasp of tourism development and construction of S & P groove. Conversation, he referred us to the road ditch Cop question the status quo. In fact, the local government has long realized that Mizoguchi road if long-term does not improve, will be constrained Cop ditch tourism development bottleneck. Of course, we also understand the plight of the local government, after all, lack of funding is the biggest problem. According to Mr. Han, currently has three large consortia interested in investing in the development Cop ditch, if we can negotiate, Cop ditch the tourist hardware environment will be fundamental to enhance tourism resources will be a better development. We have reason to believe that with the deepening of the western development, with 318 national highway and Cop Mizoguchi road conditions gradually improved, there will be more and more tourists into the human footprint of fairyland.
The next stop of the trip were opened in Guangzhou Toyota Zhao master Kung urged our colleagues the next day. Our travel schedule than they are tight, the same day they Batang stay there, to bid them farewell, and we move on.
Leave Cop groove is two o'clock in the afternoon. Even after a ditch on the westbound State Road 318.
In the national highway, check out our car gas oil: In Litang fill up and running now, 180 km. According to our driving habits, away from home, we must always maintain a full tank. We are still looking to fill petrol stations. No nearby gas stations, calculate the mileage to go ahead, the remaining gas should be completely adequate, thus the story and continued on our way.
As the roads, coupled with high altitude and dry weather, the car passed the car after the stirring up of dust on the feet are 100 meters long, this time overtaking the most dangerous, and had the first car behind much of the hanging, slowly crawling. Out of about 15 km we have to leave the State Road 318, turn north to the white jade direction of county roads.
Out of the song more townships, was found by the riverside in front of the existing roads due to landslides have destroyed many impassable, vehicles can only take a shortcut up the hill out of the temporary opening. The Road is very simple and rough, uneven road surface on the open side of the mountain side in the Linjiang continue for several 360-degree sharp bends is necessary to climb the steep slope back to the Peak, and the mountain is very narrow, only placement supports a body, car dealers above, very dangerous! Car line this road, I am in the car with fear and trepidation. Fortunately, this section is not too long (4 kilometers), a better husband to drive calm, cool, we are finally out of this dangerous road, reach the top, when I was a long Chuanchu Cuqi!
The next to go by the gravel road paved.
From the song over to Samak Township, to climb over 4800 meters above sea level of the Chang Taishan. Along a jungle mountain road in the river upstream, due to water erosion, road Henlan, and some sections washed away by water, had to wade lane. Fortunately, the beautiful scenery along the way: very good mountain vegetation, plants, mostly alpine azaleas and Cailin. On our side road, admiring the picturesque scenery along nearly 50 kilometers away, basically walk through the forest, rarely saw signs of human habitation on the road and less traffic encountered. Chang sets up the hill overlooking the foot of the mountain, that really understand that "you would be utterly Ling, list of small hills," a wonderful mood.
Gasoline consumption in the way up the mountain was found particularly large, the beginning, some worry that the oil used is not enough! Plateau road fuel consumption than the mainland to a large number!
The next mountain or a hill north so narrow, curved, or so much, but the road south of the mountain than the formation of some, but the road is still lightly. Spent nearly an hour before we walked down the Chang Taishan, drilled virgin forest. Baiyu County Samak Chang Taishan Township, on the foot of a shabby village government offices, residential blocks of Tibet. We Samak township parking, would like to add a little oil, did not expect the village government are not even dignified vehicle refueling point! Fortunately, we are now down the mountain, think about taking the road of 29 km went to Gai, and there is the district seat of government, to cover fuel to jade. So a small stream along the road directly to Gai.
Gai is a small market town, the district and township levels, the seat of government. A stream through the town. As the gas are depleted, days and relatively late, and we decided to stay there on this. National Day holiday, the Government Guest House no reception, we had to live in town, the only one of the hotels run by Tibetans. Owners are very hospitable and very gracious to us. Tibetan-style bed, buttered tea, hot water, bedding fairly clean. Accommodation two 30 yuan, 5 yuan for parking. Han-Tibetans here basically do not know if language is difficult. The owner talk to us thanks to make a gesture, and further conversation to the local Chinese translation. Our car to a stop in town, many Tibetans have surrounded look surprising. It seems people here to communicate with the outside world too little contact.
The evening, we learned from working at the local Han Chinese population that: 1, poor law and order here; 2, here and still no vehicle refueling point - but the boss in a department store, where you can buy a private traffic to gasoline, but Your special price: 90 # gasoline price to 4.00 RMB or more, do not know how the quality of the oil! Now too busy to think much, even if he was selling to 10.00 RMB / L also had bleeding in!
Shops have already closed and fuel waiting for tomorrow!
(Without refueling points along the black-market gasoline 90 # 4.00 RMB / L)
