Gongga, whether you come or not, she will be there, but as long as you set foot in her territory, from now on, she will either be here or her heart will be here.

The first time I came into contact with Gongga was a recruitment post I saw on the 8264 event website at the beginning of the year. The beautiful pictures in it have made me feel lost since then.

There are two traditional routes to hike Gongga, the "King of Shushan". One is the so-called 7-day journey across the entire line. This is quite abusive. The entire journey is about 80 kilometers, which is no longer suitable for rookies like me. The 5-day journey across the southwest slope of Gongga Mountain requires a total of about 45 kilometers on foot, which is relatively low in intensity, and the key is the beautiful scenery.

First of all, let me solemnly introduce our team leader eleven for this event, and secondly, our collaboration Xiaoqiang. Look at this photo taken by our teammates of the team leader, collaboration and driver team. Is it a tacit understanding?

At about 7:40 a.m. on August 17, we finished the breakfast provided by the hotel and set off from Chengdu on time for Xinduqiao. At about 15:30 p.m., I passed through Kangding, at about 18:10, I crossed Zheduo Mountain, and arrived at Xinduqiao Grand View Hotel at about 19:00.

Xindu Bridge is about 3400 meters above sea level. When I was crossing Zheduo Mountain, the altitude was about 4500 meters. There was no altitude reaction at all. I was still secretly happy. Who knew that after returning to my room after dinner, my head began to hurt a little. At night, I didn't hesitate to give the team leader's advice. I took a hot bath when I first arrived at the plateau, which aggravated the symptoms of high altitude reaction to a certain extent.

It is said that Xindu Bridge is a photographer's paradise, but near the hotel where we live, the scenery is unsatisfactory and there are no stars to shoot at night. But the beautiful scenery of Xindu Bridge showed us on the way to Yulong West Village the next morning.

The car moved along the road like a landscape gallery. The morning fog shrouded the surrounding ravines. The early morning sun sprinkled a layer of warm gold on the trees and houses, making it so charming. Unfortunately, the driver was already used to these beautiful scenery and had no intention of stopping for everyone to come down and take photos. At about 8 o'clock in the morning, when we passed a hillside, the beautiful scenery under the slope also moved the driver this time and took the initiative to stop the car and let us get off and take photos. Everyone flocked to get out of the car and displayed their skills. There is a ribbon of white clouds wrapped in the mountains opposite. The clouds and mist are sometimes ethereal and sometimes strong. The surrounding scenery is so beautiful whether it is in the light or against the light.

In front of Yulong West Village, in order to prevent the virus from being introduced into the Gongga Mountains, a local epidemic prevention department set up a checkpoint to wash every vehicle that entered with medicinal liquid. At about 11:30 noon, we successfully arrived at the accommodation place in Yulong West Village. After eating the self-heating noodles I brought with me, I walked alone to the hillside opposite the accommodation to enjoy the scenery of Quanhua Beach.

The so-called Quanhuatan is actually a calcified pool formed by calcifications in spring water like Huanglong. However, the calcified pool here is relatively small in scale, and the scenery is not as beautiful as Huanglong. Due to time and physical strength, I only went to the bottom. The calcified pool did not go to the two ponds above. I don't know what the scenery is like. In this photo taken by my teammates, I also took it by the pool.

At about 1:00 pm, we changed to off-road vehicles and headed for Lenggacuo's hiking starting point. About half an hour later, we reached the foot of the mountain. Yulong West Village is about 3700 meters above sea level, and Lenggacuo is about 4500 meters above sea level. The distance of a single trip is about 5 kilometers, but the entire journey is uphill, which is very challenging for physical strength. In order not to drag me down, I tried my best to insist on climbing slowly and resting less. When others were resting, I continued to move forward and basically did not walk at the back of the team. However, in the final sprint stage, I still exposed my lack of physical strength and was left at the back., becoming the last player to board Lenggacuo. The whole journey took nearly 3 hours, and I was so tired that I couldn't breathe heavily. Gongga Mountain is very powerful today. The snowy peaks are lined up, all exposing their true appearance to us. It is a pity that Lenggacuo is rippling in microwaves today, and it has become an impossible task to take pictures of the reflection of the snowy mountains.

After staying in Lenggacuo for more than half an hour, we began to descend the mountain the same way. It became much easier to go down the mountain. Walking along the road and taking photos, we reached the foot of the mountain in more than an hour. At the foot of the mountain, a group of people were laughing and laughing. When they came closer, they were feeding marmots. These little animals are not afraid of people at all. They are teased by everyone with food and can touch them any way they want. There is no sign of wild animals at all.

At night, due to fatigue and altitude sickness, my body had a low fever. Although I made a sumptuous dinner on the National Day, I had no appetite at all. I reluctantly drank some soup, ate a few pieces of corn and radishes, and slept in a daze. night.

After getting up in the morning, the mild fever subsided and I felt much more energetic. Although it was not possible to talk about being resurrected with full blood, it was still so-so. At around 6 o'clock, we drove to Zimei Yakou in the dark and arrived at Zimei Yakou at 6:40. This is one of the best places to see the Rizhao Jinshan Mountain of Gongga Mountain. Unfortunately, the clouds are very thick today, covering the entire Gongga Mountain. The shadow of the snowy peaks of Gongga Mountain cannot be seen at all. The sun was also blocked by the clouds, only a slight blush appeared. After waiting in the Yakou for more than 10 minutes, we could only leave angrily and head to Xiamei Village at the foot of the mountain.

At Tashi Inn, we unloaded our luggage, lay down in the inn and rested for a while. We set off at around 11:00 noon and headed for Gongga Temple, 8.5 kilometers away. We crossed three bridges along the way and passed through dense virgin forests. After about 3 hours of walking, we finally arrived at Gongga Temple. This is the temple of the Kagyu Sect of Tibetan Buddhism and the closest temple to the main peak of Gongga Mountain. It has a history of more than 720 years.

When we arrived, the lamas in the temple were doing Buddhist services on the hillside. Because the temple was not big, I planned to wait until the visit was over before coming over to take pictures. However, when I rushed over from visiting the temple, the Buddhist activities had just ended. I have to say I am a little sorry. We were very lucky when we returned. When we arrived at the intersection of Xiameicun, it began to rain lightly. After we returned to the inn, it began to pour heavily outside, and all the teammates who came back late were soaked.

Before eating in the evening, I walked around Xiamei Village. The place was filled with smoke and it was really a fairyland on earth.

In the afternoon, we went hiking, and the team leader Eleven focused on preparing dinner for us, so the dinner was very rich. Today, we changed from yesterday's loss of appetite and ate a big bowl of rice.

I got up once at night, put on my clothes and went to the yard to observe the stars. Unfortunately, the clouds were so thick that not a single star could be seen.

After breakfast at 8 o'clock, we set off for light hiking to the grass family about 20 kilometers away.

Everyone walked along the river valley, and the scenery along the way was picturesque. About 4 kilometers later, the main road disappeared and we began to move along the path cut by the cliff. At about 10:40, we arrived at the dead tree beach on the coast of Bayang. There are many dead trees scattered on the river beach here, surrounded by green grass, which is very suitable for taking photos. Everyone takes pictures here in a variety of ways.

After we had enough filming, we continued to move towards the Bayang Sea. It is said that the Bayang Sea is the birthplace of the Dongba myth "Genesis". Due to the erosion of rain, the color of Haizi Village is not very beautiful, and the overall color is bluish-gray. At around 12:00, we started a collective picnic in a dense forest open space at the end of the sea in Bayang.

Then continue on the arduous hiking journey. After walking for another 1.5 hours, at about 2 p.m., we arrived at the highway at the end of the hiking journey. We met with the drivers who came to pick us up and drove us to the Shenlong Hot Spring Resort in Caoke Township. It rained heavily after dinner. I rested in my room for a while and saw that the rain had subsided, so I went to the hotel's hot spring pool to soak in the hot spring for a while.

Due to the rain, I was the only one soaking in the several pools of the huge hot spring. There was steaming spring water below me, and cold rainwater dripping from my head. The artistic conception at this time was comparable to soaking in a hot spring under the snowy scenery. Unable to withstand the cold rain, I found an awning to protect my head. After soaking in it for a while, it was really boring, so I hurried ashore and returned to the hotel.

On the last day, I broke up and returned to Chengdu. I got off the bus near Chadianzi Bus Station in advance and found a hotel that I had booked in advance. I was going to go to Sanxingdui Museum, but it was too late, so I took the subway to Kuanzhai Alley, where I strolled and ate some snacks.

I got up at around 4 o'clock the next morning, and then the driver picked me up at around 5 o'clock to the Noah's Ark Hotel to participate in a two-day tour of Hailuogou.

At about 11:30 noon, the car arrived at Luding Bridge. Due to light rain, Luding Bridge was closed. I took a few random photos, and then I bought various fruits and ate all the way to Moxi Ancient Town.

In the afternoon, we first visited Yanzigou Scenic Area, which has high mountains and dense forests and lush original vegetation. Of course, the most famous one is Hongshi Beach. The Hongshi Beach here is not only huge in scale, but also particularly red in color.

Due to its location in a deep ditch, the peaks on both sides are surrounded by clouds and fog. Although it blocks the snowy peaks of Gongga, it still looks like a fairy.

Dinner is a feast for the Yi people, and you can watch the performance while eating. After dinner, go to the Yunzhong Gongga Performance Venue to watch a cultural performance. 1.5 The ticket price is 180 yuan for an hour's performance, which is worth it.

Before the end of the performance, the tour guide greeted me out and sent a car to take us to Tianci Hot Spring.

The hot spring water here has a very strong sulfur smell, and the water temperature is higher than that of Caoke Hot Spring. What is a little depressing is that the three young girls in the same car are too unreliable. They agreed to come out and return to the hotel at 10 p.m., but it was delayed until nearly 11 p.m. It was late.

At about 8 a.m. the next morning, we entered Hailuogou Scenic Area. First, we took a bus all the way to Ganheba. We saw that the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist today. I guess we couldn't see anything even if we took the cableway up the mountain. So we planned to walk up the mountain, but the rain washed away the road. The walking path was not open, so we had to go down in the direction of Camp No. 3. After arriving at Camp No. 3, he walked to the ice tongue 2 kilometers away.

In front of the ice tongue, there is a Glacier Experience Hall. After going in and circling around it, we start to walk in the direction of the glacier.

Although the lower part of the glacier is full of ice, the surface does not look beautiful at all. It is full of gravel and sand. I originally wanted to walk above the glacier, but the staff blocked the cordon to prevent close contact with the glacier. Due to the high temperature, the glaciers melt greatly, and the water billows, washing down many ice cubes. These ice cubes look crystal clear, making people feel a little cool in summer.

After coming out of Camp No. 3, I continued to walk along the walking path in the direction of Dongga Temple. It was densely covered with virgin forests and the scenery was somewhat similar to yesterday's Yanzi Gully. At Dongga Temple, I took the tourist shuttle bus and returned to the gate of the scenic spot at around 1:30 p.m. After lunch at the hotel, I took the bus back to Chengdu, and then took the bus back to Nanjing.
