Mengtun River Valley丨Donggao dusk, where can I rely on to migrate?

Where to rely on?

I heard that there are people in the world who are happy

The jasper is as tall as a tree,

Thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down;

I heard that there are people in the world who are happy

The lotus leaves connecting to the sky are infinitely green,

The lotus in the sun is uniquely red;

I heard that there are people in the world who are happy

The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest,

Listen to the sound of frogs;

I heard that there are people in the world who are happy

Lonely boat and coir raincoat man,

Fishing alone in the snow in the cold river;

But I was lucky enough to see

The shepherds drive the calves back,

Hunting horses bring birds back.

The world is full of beautiful scenery,

This time I was lucky enough to go hiking in Mengtun Valley.

Camp overnight.

When we arrived at the meeting point early in the morning, the heavy rain was still crying. It was destined to be an extraordinary 520 and a good trip.
Driving to Mengtun, after passing through the Wenchuan Tunnel, it felt like entering a paradise. The mountains were filled with mist, and the mist seemed to be falling from the clouds.
Today is the Wenchuan Cherry Picking Festival. You can see red agates hanging on the treetops, and the morning dew is still shining brightly. You can eat them by standing under the tree and tiptoeing a little. Sister Feng and Chen Qiangui from "Happy Raking Ears" in childhood memories also came to cheer for Wenchuan Chelizi. Wenchuan was not intimidated by the May 12 earthquake, but developed better, showing its vigorous vitality and vitality.

Time used to be slow, cars and horses were slow, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. Time is very long now, so long that you can meet many people in one day, go on a hike, and have a bonfire feast. In May, the Mengtun River Valley is full of greenery, with gurgling streams and dark dusk. I heard that this is the Tibetan area closest to Chengdu and is known as a "paradise for photographers". It is ranked among the "most beautiful campsites in Sichuan" Xanadu is among the best. From a distance, you can see the jade belt surrounding the green mountains, the blue sky reflecting the valley, and the endless green, which instantly makes people want to retreat to the mountains and forests.

Looking at the close-up view, hiking through small mountain villages will give you a feeling of "quiet years"; the scattered Gesang flowers on the roadside will make you feel like you are in a world of flowers; passing by the gurgling stream, you will also flow through the rapids. The river makes you feel like it would be a pity not to take a walk here.

Rugged mountain roads, valleys with rushing rapids, lush green forests on both sides, and unpredictable weather. Every step you take is a strange and beautiful sight. Walking further up the mountain, overlooking the distance, under the clouds and mist, this unexplored primitive secret land and natural scenery attract many travel friends, so it is also called "the place where dreams begin".

Walking through the rugged country roads, crossing the swaying chain bridge, hearing the sound of flowing water from the waterfall, the scenery along the way was like an oil painting, and finally set up camp at an old battlefield bunker.

When we found our campsite, we started to check in and set up the tent. Once the tent was set up, we felt like we had moved our family here.

After unloading the fatigue and luggage of the day, I can finally touch the grass, play with the cattle and sheep, and take pictures of the beautiful mountains. A continuous drizzle came uninvited. After the rain, the sky cleared, and the sun shone on the clouds and rain. A rainbow cut through the blue evening sky, like a long bridge, spanning from the top of the mountain in the east to the green mountain peaks in the north. We saw authentic Tibetan hot pot being eaten at the camp next door, and our stomachs felt a bit empty after the long journey. Make your own fire, bring the iron plate to barbecue, stare at the pork belly sizzling with oil on the iron plate, look at the gradually cooked potato pieces, and pick up a piece of beef dipped in cumin. Who knows the taste of wild camping food? .

In your imagination, the night in Mengtun slowly engulfs the river valley quietly. In the quiet night, when you look up, you will see the vast starry sky and the magnificent Milky Way. Feel the vast universe, and the stars are so close that you can pick them with your hands. arrive. But I have no sleep tonight because there is rain in the night sky, there is a disco in the rain, and there is a bonfire and a party.

The cows and sheep I saw on the way here were still sleeping soundly in their shacks, and I wanted to take another look at them, keep them in my heart, and take them back with me on my way back. The gentle breeze and drizzle brought by the way up the mountain turned into mist and clear sky when we went down the mountain, sending us on the long and winding mountain road. On the way back, we passed Taoping Qiang Village. Huang Bo's movie "Killing" impressed me so much with the environment in the play that I felt even more artistic after being immersed in it.

It is said that this is the Qiang Village with the most complete original appearance. It is known as the "living fossil" of Qiang Village's architectural culture and art, and is known as the "mysterious oriental castle". Looking from a distance, Taoping Qiang Village is surrounded by towering mountains. The center is laid out in a Bagua shape, with a watchtower as the center and eight entrances and exits distributed radially. Passing through the newly built Qiang Village houses near the tourist center of the ticket office, you can walk all the way into the old district inside, and into the village alleys with twists and turns, and the doors of each house are connected. There was still modern commerce and trade in the front, and simple and pure villagers lived in stone villages built high and low with stones and soil.

It is said that there were six watchtowers in Taoping Qiang Village in history. Later, three were destroyed in the war. The remaining three watchtowers have survived a major fire in 1935 and the 8.1-magnitude Wenchuan earthquake. They are still standing two years ago. Thousands of years of history. I heard from the old man that there is a great project hidden under this mysterious castle complex - the underground water network. The ditch is made of bluestone and covered with stone slabs.
