No one expected that a marathon off-road race this weekend would kill 21 athletes – the first and largest number of deadly and injured of many of the country's many cross-country races known for their difficulties.
As in previous years, the track of this 100-kilometer mountain horse and pine cross-country race is still selected in the Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Area. 此前，白银市已经在这里连续举办了四届此项赛事。
At the beginning of the year, I once went to the Yellow River Stone Forest to play, and as soon as I stepped into here, I was shocked by the ghostly landform in front of me.
Stone Forest Scenic Area is located in Longwan Village, Zhongquan Township, Chengtai County, Baiyin City, Gansu Province. When the Yellow River flows through here from the southeast, it is blocked by the conglomerates of Wuquan Mountain, which formed in the early Quaternary Ice Glaciation Pleistocene, and instead flows north to Ningxia, cutting out a canyon.
Yellow River Stone Forest Scenic Area ticket 40 yuan, if you do not want to take the scenery delivery car, you can also take a sheepskin raft drifting past.
The highest peak in the scenic area is the top of the Great Acacia, with an altitude of 3017.8 meters, and the lowest point is the Yellow River Valley, with an altitude of 1480 meters and a drop of more than 1000 meters. The road on the mountain beam shown in the picture is a section of the marathon cross-country track.
从空中俯瞰，这里的地形总体上呈西南、东北高，而中间低的走势。
景区内沟壑纵横，荒无人烟，人行其间，犹如走进了迷宫，如果没有向导，很容易迷路。
There are donkey carts in the scenic area to sit on, of course, you have to spend money separately. If you are traveling independently, rent a donkey cart, guides, explanations are available, it is not impossible.
Catch the donkey uncle and his donkey. Sitting on the donkey cart and walking on the bumpy gravel road, the uncle lit up his throat, and a song "Catching Animals" resounded through the canyon and straight into the sky.
Look at this stone pillar, like a lion guarding the pass? The more you go into the canyon, the more spectacular the stone forest landform, the more spectacular the peaks are towering, and the variety is varied. These geological wonders, formed about four million years ago, were formed by the rise of the earth's crust, the undercut of the riverbed, coupled with the geological processes of rain and flood erosion, gravity collapse and wind erosion, and are now a national geopark and a leading tourist attraction in Baiyin City.
In addition to a passage that tourists often walk, there are also eight ditches in the scenic spot, such as Panlong Ditch, Qikou Ditch, and Drinking Horse Ditch, and dozens of large and small caves. In such a complex terrain, if you lose your way, the consequences are unimaginable.
It is precisely because of the characteristics of the ruggedness and wildness here that it has become the location shooting base for many film and television dramas. The well-known "Granary of the World" and "Desert Dunhuang" were filmed here.
Silver in May has entered the summer, but it is located in the transition zone between the Loess Plateau and the Tengger Desert, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is still particularly large. If it's a sunny day, wear short sleeves at noon and cotton jackets at night. It was reported that on the day of the race on May 22, the wind and sun began to be beautiful, and at 9:00 a.m., the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and there was a strong wind of four or five levels, and the participants wearing short-sleeved shorts said that they had "run two kilometers and did not get hot on their bodies."
By around 10:30, most of the team members came to the most difficult part of the Yellow River Stone Forest Circuit - from CP2 to CP3, 8 kilometers, climbing up 1000 meters - this road is very steep, even motorcycles can not go up, so there is no food and water to replenish, the team members can only rely on themselves. What's more, the wind and rain are mixed, and the wind is blowing against the wind, and the situation of the team members can be imagined. It is said that most of the team members who lost their lives fell due to the loss of temperature.
On the way to travel, only safety can reach the destination safely.
May the dead rest in peace.
