Daocheng Aden, a place of dreams, because it is "the purgatory of the body, the baptism of the soul, and the paradise of vision."
The itinerary was set long ago, but due to the impact of this year's No. 6 Typhoon Fireworks, the departure was advanced to today (July 23).
Chengdu's new airport opened on the 27th of last month. This time, it flew directly from Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport to Chengdu Tianfu Airport. Chengdu has become the third city after Shanghai and Beijing to have two international airports.
The next day, Dujiangyan in the morning and Sanxingdui in the afternoon.
We chartered a car. At 8 a.m., the driver, Master Yin, came to pick it up on time. It took about an hour to arrive at Dujiangyan Scenic Area.
Dujiangyan is located on the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain. It was built in the late years of King Zhao of Qin Dynasty (about 256 - 251 BC). It is a large-scale water conservancy project organized and built by Li Bing, the prefect of Shu Prefecture, based on the excavation of Bieling by his predecessors. It consists of water diversion fish mouth, flying sand weir, treasure bottle mouth and other parts. It has been playing the role of flood control and irrigation for more than 2,000 years, making the Chengdu Plain a "land of abundance" where floods and droughts follow people and thousands of miles of fertile land.
Enter from Qinyan Tower and visit Erwang Temple, which was rebuilt after the Wenchuan earthquake.
Pass through the Anlan Cable Bridge, visit the Feisha Weir, pass through Lidui Park, and come to the South Gate Exit.
I had lunch at a local food street. The pickled cabbage fish was quite authentic, and the fat sausage was also well cooked. Then go straight to Sanxingdui Museum.
Sanxingdui covers an area of about 1000 acres and is divided into two venues: Hall 1 and Hall 2. Here, we saw many jade articles, such as Zhang, one of the six ritual utensils in ancient China. It is in the shape of a flat rectangular body with a sloping blade at one end and a perforation at the other end. Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Shuo Wen Jie Zi":"Half a gui is Zhang." According to the "Zhou Rites", the types of Zhang are recorded: red Zhang, big Zhang, middle Zhang, side Zhang, and tooth Zhang. We can classify them into three categories: the first type of "red zhang" is used to honor the gods of the south; the second type of "big zhang, middle zhang, and border zhang" is used by the emperor for patrols; the third type of "middle zhang, tooth zhang" is used as a talisman.
At the end of the visit, I tasted a taste of cultural and creative ice cream, which tasted average and joined in the fun.
On the third day, the Leshan Giant Buddha, Meishan Sansu Temple and Huanglongxi Ancient Town were held.
I went to Leshan ten years ago, sat on a boat, and watched the Buddha from a distance. This time, I entered the mountain and had close contact with the Buddha, almost within reach.
The word "Buddha" at the entrance is strong and straight. It is said to be written by Su Dongpo. Since it was Sunday, you had to queue up to go to Buddha Foot. It would take about two hours to go back and forth, so you gave up decisively. Leshan's original name was Lingyun Mountain, but its name was changed from Lao Tzu's "Benevolent Leshan".
The Leshan Giant Buddha was built to control the floods in the Three Rivers. It is said that after the completion of the Giant Buddha, Leshan has not experienced floods.
Meishan Mountain is located in the middle of Chengdu and Leshan. Due to the expansion of the expressway, it can only take the national highway from Leshan to Meishan, which takes about one and a half hours.
Tickets for Sansu Temple are 30 yuan per person, but the Sansu Memorial Hall opposite is free, so we decided to choose the latter naturally. Starting from understanding Su Xun, followed by Su Shi (Zi Zhan) and Su Zhe (Zi You). The residents of the entire neighborhood are quite casual, playing poker and mahjong.
At about 4:30, I left Meishan and headed straight for Huanglong River.
The ancient town is very popular and is full of cars. Enter from the south gate and follow Main Street. This is a place to play in the water, a new Internet celebrity. I drank fresh coconut juice and bought oversized figs.
Exit from the north gate. In order to avoid traffic jams in the urban area and to take care of the teacher not having to travel back and forth, I decided to take the nearby subway back. The master took us to Xibo Metro Station, which is a subway hub where Lines 1, 6 and 18 meet, but there are fewer passengers than staff. Take Metro Line 1, 25 stops, and it takes about 1 hour to get there. Dinner costs 165 yuan at Mom's Hoof Flowers Main Store.
On the fourth day, Wuhou Temple and Jinli.
I went to Tianfu Third Street early in the morning. This was the place my son wanted to go. AG Super Club Club seemed to be the place where the king played. When I arrived there, I was told that I needed an invitation to go up. My son took a few photos and checked in successfully. After that, I went to the Wuhou Temple. When I was about to arrive, it started to rain, and I immediately lost my enjoyment. Unable to wait until the rain stopped, she bought three umbrellas and went directly to Jinli Ancient Street next door.
I ordered some snacks and took them as lunch. By this time, the sky had cleared up, and just as we were enjoying DQ ice cream, the situation suddenly changed. We hurried back, but it was difficult to get a taxi around Jinli, so we had to return the same way and take the subway. But halfway through the walk, it rained heavily, and we finally arrived at the subway Gaosheng Station. Return to the hotel in about half an hour and rest!
In the afternoon, I went to the nearby Manshu Temple and Maitreya Bodhisattva Dojo for a surprise. Wenshu Academy was built in the Sui Dynasty and covers an area of more than 200,000 square meters. There is also a Konglin Buddhist Academy that enrolls students nationwide.
There is a park around the temple and a magnificent Buddhist scripture library. The Xiangyuan next to me turned out to be a teahouse. Chengdu people were leisurely sipping tea, chatting, and chewing melon seeds. They had a good time.
In the evening, I found the hot pot "Shu Jiuxiang", a time-honored brand in Chengdu, with beef, meatballs, and fish. It was quite authentic and worthwhile.
After dinner, we came to Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street, Chengdu's busiest business district, Ocean Taikoo Li, where big brands were crowded and people were crowded. There were taxis and subway back.
On the fifth day, I set off for Daocheng and stayed overnight at Xindu Bridge.
The driver told me to pick us up at the hotel at 5:20, but he was late and didn't pick us up until 5:30. We arrived at the assembly point ten minutes later. Wait until 6:10, the bus arrived and the tour guide also arrived. We set off.
Arrived in Ya 'an at around eight o'clock, rested for twenty minutes, and continued on the road. The Ya-Ye Expressway (G4218) runs from Ya 'an, Sichuan to Yecheng, Xinjiang. Of course, construction has not yet begun for a long time in the middle.
Arrive at Luding at around ten o'clock and line up at the Iron Chain Bridge beside the Dadu River. Tickets are ten yuan. The bridge was not covered with wooden boards, but the friend who was afraid of heights still walked carefully. The surging river water pours down and will inject into the Minjiang River in Leshan.
Have lunch in Kangding. Kangding is the state capital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, with an altitude of about 2500 meters. It was once famous for its "Kangding Love Song". Guide Xiao Yao sang a cappella for us live in the car.
In the afternoon, I visited the Muya Holy Land. Unfortunately, the weather was not good and it kept raining lightly.
Take the scenic spot sightseeing bus directly to the highest point of the scenic spot, at an altitude of about 4200 meters. As soon as I got out of the car, I felt the symptoms were obvious, and it gradually improved after taking two breaths of oxygen.
Stayed overnight at Xinduqiao Yuxin Hotel, where we also had dinner. It's the same hot pot, but the difference is so big? In addition to a few slices of beef, there are radish, celery and cabbage. After dinner, the sky actually cleared up. Walking around, I saw Tibetan girls singing and dancing.
On the sixth day, we passed through Yajiang, crossed Litang, and arrived at Daocheng.
Starting from Xindu Bridge (3450 meters above sea level) in the morning, passing through the eighteen bends of Tianlu, we will arrive at the Kazila Mountain Observation Deck.
Lunch was in Litang County, then visited Shule Ancient Town and paid a visit to Changqing Chunkeer Temple, also known as Litang Temple. It was founded in 1580 by the Third Dalai Lama Sonam Gyatso. It is the oldest and largest Tibetan Buddhist Huangjiao Temple in Kang District. Long Youth Kerr is a Tibetan transliteration."Evergreen" means Maitreya Buddha,"Spring Kerr" means Falun, and "Long Youth Kerr" means Maitreya Buddha Falun. After crossing Tuer Mountain (4700 meters above sea level), you reach Daocheng County (3800 meters above sea level).
The child's mother fell down first and went to sleep on oxygen at night.
According to the tour guide, there are four Tibetan branches in western Sichuan: Jiarong Tibetan, Ando Tibetan, Baima Tibetan and Kangba Tibetan.
On the seventh day, a one-day trip to the Aden Scenic Area.
Only when I came to Aden did I know that the Three Dharma Gods can be seen; only when I came to Aden did I know that the snowy mountains and meadows can complement each other; only when I came to Aden did I know that the mountains, ancient glaciers and lakes are so beautiful; only when I came to Aden did I know that this is the last Shangri-La on earth!
Arrive at the entrance of Daocheng Aden Scenic Area at around 8 o'clock, change to the scenic spot sightseeing bus, arrive at Zhaguanbeng in about an hour, travel 500 meters to Chonggu Temple, and then take an electric car to Luorong Niuchang.
The sacred mountain in front of you is Yangmaiyong, which means Manjusri Bodhisattva, at an altitude of 5958 meters. Hurry up and shine. While admiring the magic and spirituality of nature, we have to marvel at the eagerly awaited glaciers. After 400 - 500 million years of crustal evolution, accompanied by changes in the Himalayas, various natural conditions have been created for the breeding of glaciers. The constantly growing glaciers are constantly accumulating in front of the mountain, creating a constantly flowing ice pole. The glaciers that have been silent for thousands of years nourish the vibrant green mountains, and the continuous green mountains nourish the gurgling green water, which nurtures jumping fish. The interlocking ecological chain nourishes the entire mountain. Follow the trail down, you will find the stream gurgling on the side, and some nationally protected animals swaying in front of you unscrupulously.
Around the location of Shengshui Lake, you can see the Shanodoji Divine Mountain, which means Vajra Hand Bodhisattva, with an altitude of 5958 meters.
Continue downward and return to Zhaganbeng in about two hours. Another sacred mountain is called Xiannairi, which means Guanyin Bodhisattva, with an altitude of 6032 meters. It is in the other direction of Chonggu Temple. We plan to go there tomorrow.
On the eighth day, I returned to Daocheng.
Only our family in the whole team planned to enter the ditch for the second time, and the weather forecast expected rain today, so we decided to return to Daocheng County with the group.
We set off at 9:30 and arrived at Daocheng County at 11:00. We passed by the County People's Hospital and saw many people lining up. They were probably doing nucleic acid testing. I rushed to the hospital for nucleic acid testing immediately after lunch, but unfortunately I went late and ended at twelve o'clock. We found out that the CDC could do it at three o'clock in the afternoon, so we lined up before two o'clock. As a result, it started at three o'clock on time, and we didn't finish until four: 30. It was already five o'clock when we returned to the hotel. The child's mother jokingly called us "Daocheng Center for Disease Control and Prevention half-day tour."
On the ninth day, go home.
I received a notice last night that the flight from Daocheng to Chengdu was changed from eight o'clock to eleven: 30. Departing from the hotel at 9 o'clock, chartered for 200 yuan, and arrived at Daocheng Airport at an altitude of 4411 meters.
Surprisingly, there was still snow on the square outside the airport.
Before departure, the nucleic acid test results of the three people were found negative in Tianfu Health Pass, and a stone pressed on their chest fell to the ground! Daocheng Airport does not require a negative nucleic acid test certificate. It just verified the green health code and successfully passed the security check. The connecting flight at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport was also smooth. I boarded the 6:30 p.m. flight and arrived at Xiaoshan Airport safely. More than an hour later, I returned to my warm home.
Since the People's Hospital of Sichuan Province confirmed three cases of imported local cases from other provinces on July 27, our schedule has become tense. On the one hand, we must resist the adverse reactions caused by high altitudes, and on the other hand, we must always pay attention to the impact of the epidemic. In the second half of this trip, I could almost make a movie called "Lost in Sichuan". Fortunately, everything is over. Thank God!
