As soon as the heat receded in September, I flew with the travel agency to Haixi. Although I have just seen Qinghai Lake a few years ago, visited the Taal Temple, and visited the pristine Hemu Village, it is not the season when the forests are full of dyes. This time coincides with the unsealing of the epidemic in Nanjing, and when the autumn breeze is cool, it is the best season to go to Haixi to see the poplar forest.
Hu Yanglin, just by virtue of these three words, has attracted thousands of tourists, coupled with the "three thousand years do not die, three thousand years after death do not fall, three thousand years after the fall of immortality" words, you want to block can not stop, so you have to witness it in person, admire its style.
September 22, 4 o'clock in the morning to get up, by the eldest child to drive at 4:30 to send me to Nanjing Railway Station airport bus parking lot, at this time, there are already travelers before me, everyone recognizes each other when they meet, that is not we spent 20 days in June to Xinjiang to take the Duku Highway Lao Zhang, Xiao Guan, DaWang ... Do you? Although we didn't meet much, but there were a lot of greetings, everyone talked a lot of travel experience, but anyway I was the oldest in this group because I was 86 years old, but I asked 84 years old, 82 years old, and an old lady had just passed the 80th birthday, she also walked with us on her legs and feet, she said that she had been there in 1986, although she entered the poplar forest, but the trees did not change color, so this time I came to the autumn color of the poplar forest. There are 36 people in this group, of course, there are daughters with mothers, daughters-in-law with mothers-in-law, sons with fathers and men and women aged 50 to 60 years old, most of them want to see the autumn colors of the huyang forest in the red leaves. Everyone did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars, but you can imagine how attractive this forest is.

Due to the early arrival at Lukou Airport, the assigned boarding seat is the fourth row, which is closer to the first class seat, not only that, when checking in the luggage, the waiter also asked me "do you want to lean against the window", "Of course", I immediately thanked you.
The plane glides on the runway for a while, and then after increasing the horsepower, the engine roars loudly, and the fuselage is off the ground and straight into the blue sky, and in a short while, the underground crisscrossing roads, winding rivers, and tall houses are like building blocks, like small children's toys.
The plane continued to rise, but on the white clouds, the sky was a different sight. First there was no cloud, and then there were white clouds like cotton in front of the window and under the feet, and people flew on the white clouds in the air, followed the plane on the clouds, and we became gods and immortals.
People have long wanted to fly freely in the air like birds, but after inventing this big bird, people can freely run in the air, but the real walking in the sky is still the people who have recently boarded the spaceship and walked in space, they went to the sky, really like the mythical gods floating around in space.
I don't know who invented the airplane, but when I went to Western Europe that year, I saw a tall statue on the street, and the tour guide told me it was Leonardo da Vinci, and he said that he was also the designer of the plane. It turns out that Dashi is not only a painter who has never come before or since, but also a master who understands mechanical design.
The plane landed at Lanzhou Airport at 11:40, and the bus driver sent by the travel agency was waiting outside, who would take us to board the bus to Xining and then transfer to Kagamu, where we began the nine-day trip to Damei Haixi.
After retiring, I have been to more than 20 countries, and 24 provinces in China have also left footprints, and I don't want to pour out this feeling on the plane to Lanzhou today. (2021.9.22 on Board Qingdao Airlines)

From the airport, take a bus to Lanzhou Station, the car for more than 1 hour, in front of the loess mountain, the mountains stretch endlessly, the ups and downs are unprecedented, before also came to Lanzhou, but walking is the Yellow River big iron bridge that street, but also witness how the sheepskin under the big iron bridge to carry people across the Yellow River. But the market on both sides of the bridge is the same as the inland, and it should be noted that there is a unique statue of the Yellow River mother on the riverbank, which symbolizes the kindness, love and charity of the mother of the Chinese nation.

It should also be mentioned that Lanzhou ramen made of fluffy grass is all over China, that is, the local white orchid melon is also sweet and soft, the products are rich, and the prosperity of the market is not like the "soil" in front of the eyes, no wonder there is a slogan at the airport that says "I am very earthy, but I am real". It can be seen that the city always has soil and ocean, and only the integration of soil and ocean is the image of the times of this city.
Thinking about it, I saw the Sun Temple of Athens on both sides of the road, a huge moving movie camera, an Egyptian sphinx, and a huge mosque with an onion head, ah, how did all these Western landscapes appear on the lonely loess of the desert, and in an instant, a sign flew into front of me, which said "Northwest Film and Television Base", and this mystery came out at once.
Before, I saw the photography base in Hengdian, Zhejiang, where it is either a small bridge flowing water people's home, or a map of the Qingming River, but here is a different scene, you can see that the great northwest is blowing rough, bold wind.

The car entered the city an hour later, but here is a different scene, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, playgrounds and high-rise buildings into the clouds are all over the sky, and the names on the buildings are mostly "feitian", "silk", "halal", and Dunhuang flying patterns can be seen everywhere, and the streets are "flying" for this. Dunhuang's heritage has also entered the homes of ordinary people like the "Yan" zi in front of Wang Xietang in Nanjing! (2021.9.22 On the train from Lanzhou to Xining) To be continued
