After seeing the golden yellow of ginkgo in Longnan HuiXian County, I drove more than 50 kilometers to Liangdang County. In late autumn, the mountains are covered with red leaves and colorful forests. The red leaves seem to precipitate all the splendor of spring and summer, appearing deep and quiet, which will make you unconsciously slow down the stitches of time and savor the brilliant splendor of nature.
Autumn leaves are dyed "deep breath small town"
Liangdang County, west of Huixian County, known as Gudao in ancient times, is a brilliant pearl embedded in the hinterland of Qinling Mountains at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu- and Sichuan, with a vegetation coverage rate of 83%, a forest coverage rate of 74%, and an average of 8900 negative oxygen ions / cubic meters, which has continuously won the "China's Top 100 Deep-Breathing Small Cities".
In late autumn, the county seat of Liangdang is surrounded by autumn leaves that spread over the mountains, which glow brightly under the sunlight, warm and warm.
The two autumn leaves, evolved from the local wild yellow oak dense forest, they grow in rock cliffs, waterfronts, high mountains, every late autumn to form a natural landscape of red leaves and mountains, magnificent.
It is worth mentioning that most of the most numerous autumn leaves on Beijing's Fragrant Hills are also yellow oaks.
Here science popularization, the reason why the leaves of plants change color, mainly due to three important pigments: chlorophyll, carotenoids and anthocyanins. These three pigments regulate the three color tendencies of the leaves in different light, temperature, and humidity environments: green, yellow, and dark purple/red. Almost every green leaf will cause chlorophyll to decrease or decompose due to environmental and metabolic reasons, resulting in yellow and then deciduous leaves, but not every leaf will turn red.
I am afraid that this is also the reason why people are more and more nostalgic for autumn leaves.
There are many tourist attractions in Liangdang, watching the autumn leaves, the most recommended is the Yunping Three Gorges Natural Scenic Area and the Lingguan Gorge Zhangguo Lao Dengzhen Cave Scenic Area.
Yunping Three Gorges Flying Waterfall sprays beads splashing jade
Yunping Three Gorges Natural Scenic Area is a national 4A-level scenic spot, 36 kilometers away from the county seat of Liangdang, located in the deep mountain canyon on the north slope of the South Qinling Mountains, and the Dayang Mountain in the scenic area is the watershed of the West Han River and the Jialing River.
Yunping Three Gorges Changling Ridge, Xiufeng Group, in turn for the "Land Gorge", "Guanyin Gorge" and "Xigou Gorge", the natural scenery is beautiful and colorful, dry pine upside down, flying waterfall turbulence, beautiful mountains and clear water.
The Land Gorge is the first gorge of the Three Gorges, and when you enter the Land Gorge, you can see the Yunping River falling from the sky like a jade belt of nine-curved ileum, cutting the Mang Mang peaks into a deep canyon. Looking at the two banks of the river, the strange peaks are in danger, the walls are standing thousands of people, the ancient trees are born of cracked stones, and the waterfall sprays beads and splashes jade. The more famous attractions in the Land Gorge are: Lion Mountain Cypress, Trail Ruins, Sleeping Lion Lying Wave, Land White Pine, Heavy Stone Wangfu, Tianmen Lock Cloud, Sister Show, Twin Breasts in the Mist, Goshawk Migratory Birds, etc.
The Yunping River under the sun, sometimes as green as blue, sometimes like snow muscles and jade skin, all the way to the mouth of the gorge rushing down.
In the second gorge of the Three Gorges of Yunping - Guanyin Gorge, there are first-line heaven, Guanyin Grotto, Longevity Black Water, Tengu Town Turtle, Blackwater Pastoral, Dragon Cave Jade Tide, Longfeng And waves and other scenic spots. After crossing the Guanyin Gorge, you will arrive at the Xigou Gorge, and at the mouth of the gorge, you will see a dragon-shaped mountain lying on the riverside, and there is a large and round stone in the mouth, which is the "Jade Dragon Spit Pearl" landscape. The boutique attractions of Xigou Gorge include double cave cliffs, piercing an arrow, stopping horses and breaking walls, flying immortal peaks and so on.
In addition to HuangQi, the peak of the Yunping Three Gorges Scenic Area also grows rare and valuable tree species such as spruce, fir and yew that are more than 1,000 years old. Looking from a high place, the entire canyon is clearly layered, bright red, pink, scarlet, peach, like a red xia, pouring out of the sea, and there are verdant dots in between, red and green, magnificent. Looking closely at the oval red leaves, the feeling of "red in February flowers" is very strong. Climbing up the stairs, winding paths, the red leaves of the mountains spread all the way, releasing a thousand postures, ten thousand kinds of tenderness, colorful, dazzling.
Stay overnight at the natural oxygen bar refreshed
How comfortable to stay in the European-style log cabin in the Yunping Three Gorges Scenic Area, in this natural oxygen bar rich in negative oxygen ions, and naturally open your eyes in the singing of birds?
Looking out of the window, the trees in front of you are shady, the branches contain love veins, and the mountains are dyed with red leaves. Stepping out of the chalet and walking along the boardwalk, the whole scenic area is full of comfort, the dew on the grass is like pearls, crystal clear, and the unique fragrance of the canyon spreads quietly in the morning light air, making people refreshed.
In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, the grass and birds chirped, and the sound of it was heard but did not see its shadow... Pavilions and pavilions and small bridges and flowing water, rocking chairs in the forest and the lake and mountains complement each other, boil a pot of tea, fragrant overflowing the garden; looking at the column, full of colorful, let people linger.
Then hike the observation deck to overlook the village, the houses are sparse, surrounded by mountains and rivers, shaded by trees, like a paradise, quiet and remote.
Lingguan Gorge: The river reflects the autumn leaves
Lingguan Gorge Zhangguo Lao Dengzhen Cave Scenic Area, located 13 kilometers southeast of The county seat of Liangdang, Lingguan Gorge runs through the entire scenic area from east to west. The famous writer Mr. Du Pengcheng's article "Walking the Lingguan Gorge at Night" not only let people understand the pride and hardships of the builders of the Baocheng Railway, but also made the Lingguan Gorge famous.
Lingguan Gorge, a long gorge ancient road, just like a jade belt between Shaanxi and Gansu, shuttling between the lofty mountains in the southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains, the rushing Jialing River and the babbling Red Cliff River, just like lovers who have been reunited for a long time, hugging each other and singing all the way to the country of Tianfu. Autumn in Lingguan Gorge is the world of autumn leaves, dominating the winding Jialing River. The fiery red maple leaves stain the cliffs on both sides of the river, and the turquoise water of the Jialing River looks clearer and greener under the cluster of red leaves.
