Thursday, October 28, 2021, sunny.
I returned from Chuanxi and rested in Chengdu for a day. He was pulled by his enthusiastic comrades-in-arms Lao Zhou and his wife to Dujiangyan to play and drank two drinks. It is not easy for comrades-in-arms to meet each other and not drink a lot of wine. Fortunately, the old Zhou couple did not drink anymore, and the lady who found a drinker was probably not embarrassed to drink with me. It was very good, the hospitality of the comrades-in-arms was remembered in their hearts, and they returned soberly.
Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou are of course fascinated for a long time. When I signed up to go to Kawanishi this time, I thought about swimming with me when I came back. It just so happened that there were a few friends in the team who were not in a hurry to go back, so everyone said that they would go with their companions. Previously, friends and comrades-in-arms in Chengdu said several times that they wanted to accompany me, but they still declined. One is that everyone has a job, let people put down the busy things to accompany themselves a little excessively; second, the epidemic has not completely stopped after all, willing to come out to meet and invite dinner is already a deep friendship, because people also have to take risks, after all, I have also walked all over the west of Sichuan for more than ten days, and the tourists who have been in contact with the tourists along the way have everything in the south and the north of the south china sea; the third is to play freely. Write here, I also hope friends understand it! In fact, this trip to Sichuan, your friendship I remember in my heart!
The Chengdu travel agency that I was looking for on Fliggy found a medium-to-high offer. Two days, with breakfast, accommodation, bus, 800 yuan bar. Overall, I mean the scenery is invincible, the tour guide is professional, and as for the hidden shopping link, it is another story. And listen to me slowly.
At 5:30 a.m. that day, everyone gathered at the predetermined location. It seems to be a meeting point for travel agencies, and breakfast is for sale. Personally, I like the city roadside breakfast very much, with small dumplings and vegetable porridge, which is quite smooth.
At 6 o'clock, the whole team assembled, got into the car, and drove to Huanglong.
Just got a good night's sleep in the car. Wake up to the service area. It is actually a place on the side of the road where you can park and rest. Someone is diligently washing the driver's car, and everyone gets out of the car to hang out and let their legs and feet relax. By the way, this time the bus seating is quite comfortable and spacious, similar to the style of the first-class sofa in the advertisement. A row of four seats, one seat less than a normal bus, and it is not so crowded between the front and back seats, which deserves a thumbs up.
After 20 minutes, everyone got in the car, and I asked the tour guide a small question, that is, will the driver pay for the car wash here? Of course not, we gave them business. The tour guide answered naturally. From the small things, we can see the shrewdness and stinginess of the Sichuan people in doing business.
In the car, the tour guide mainly introduced today's itinerary and precautions. I noticed that she repeatedly mentioned the problem of high incidence. Generally speaking, the most important premise for preventing high incidence is to despise it psychologically and attach importance to it tactically. The altitude of Huanglong Scenic Area is only 3000-3800. There must be a demon when things go wrong. It is impossible for a tour guide with a tour group all year round not to know this truth. Sure enough, the next place is a place in front of you to detect blood oxygen concentration and sell drugs to prevent high reactions. Moreover, the tour guide said that we are here to report, and we have fulfilled our obligation to inform. In fact, I had already noticed that there were several shops like this, but they were all called alpine service stations. Anyway, selling something is king. Of course, there were also gains in our cars, with at least a third of the people buying so-called anti-hyperrefunction drugs and oxygen.
I didn't buy it, just added $10 insurance. The tour guide said that once something happened, someone would carry it down. In fact, it is psychological comfort.
These are all episodes, remember here is not to say that the yellow dragon is not good, just to remind the latecomers to pay attention, tourism is full of pits.
In fact, our luck that day was exceptional. It had snowed heavily here the day before. As soon as you enter the scenic gate, it is a pleasing snow scene. The white snowy mountains, the faint mist, the big trees, the yellow leaves, and even the green leaves, against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, under the caress of the sun, are very beautiful. Yes, I'm not wrong. It is both blue sky and white clouds and sunny clouds and tulle-like fog. There are tree hangings on the tall trees on both sides of the boardwalk, and the texture of oil paintings will be photographed. Everyone took pictures as they walked, especially the Cantonese guys who did not often see snow, screaming continuously.
Slowly walking up, on the flat ground between the valleys, the white snow is distributed in patches, like alien worlds. Further up, after the Yellow Dragon Temple, you will reach the most famous attraction, the Colorful Pool.
According to online information, the Huanglong Scenic Area is a World Natural Heritage, a national AAAAA-level scenic spot, the only well-protected plateau wetland in China, known for the "four musts" of caichi, snowy mountains, canyons and forests, and the calcified pool water in the scenic spot can change into colorful colors with the surrounding scenery and sunlight illumination angle, and is also known as "Yao Pond on Earth". Huanglong is mainly based on the large-scale, ingenious structure and colorful surface travertine landscape, and is famous for its rare karst landforms. The best time to visit the Huanglong Scenic Area is in summer and autumn, when the lake is in the period of abundant water, the pond area is large, and the scenery is abundant.
We came at its most beautiful time. Standing on the observation deck overlooking, the white valley has a number of different shapes of the pool, the bottom of the pool is yellow, the pool water is turquoise, interspersed with trees, ancient temples, and indeed as the introduction said, with the change of sunlight, the color of this pool is also changing from thick to shallow, it is really a human Yao pond, great beauty!
After a long time here, I changed the road and went down the mountain.
As far as Huang Long is concerned, it is true that it is said that it is three steps and one scene. Along the way, green trees, colored forests, waterfalls and other color pools are everywhere, and a pair of eyes really feels like it is not enough. I had to take a few more photos with the help of mobile phones and cameras. The next day sent WeChat circle of friends, a friend asked, is the scene in your photo real? Such as fake replacement, and most of the photos can directly omit the process of retouching. I replied. Once explained to a friend about photo retouching such as women's makeup, and asked rhetorically, can a woman go out without makeup? Today in Huanglong can be another way of saying, if you really look beautiful, no makeup is also the beauty of the country!
Writing here, I really feel that the language is too pale, the vocabulary is too poor, or more photos.
