[Second stop on the trip to Western Sichuan] Baguduo

To the east of Jiarong, there is a place called Cuoqu (i.e. Black Water). There is a great sacred mountain called Aotaiji. It has the gods of the Great Living Buddha and the Great Lama. It is the leader of the sacred mountain. As long as you sincerely respect him, It can subdue demons and eliminate harm, bring blessings to the people, and relieve you of suffering.

Bakuduo is located next to Aotaiji. It is one of the Wei peaks and is called the "Guardian Saint". Bakuduo is Tibetan and means the patron saint of Aotaiji. Get to the summit of Bakuduo and leave It is the dream of Tibetan people to worship Otaki in the nearest place .

After a few hours of bus ride from Chengdu to Heishui County, it was already evening when we arrived, and then we took a shuttle bus to stay at the Tibetan Inn. This hot pot was enough to soothe our hungry stomach.

When I wake up, the sky is clear

The clouds gradually dispersed

Revealing a corner of the majestic snow-capped mountains

I packed up my equipment, soaked in the warm morning sunshine, and started this heavy-packing hike with great anticipation. The slope was not very steep at first, but the backpack weighing more than ten kilograms still felt a bit strenuous. This may be because it was the first time to hike with heavy equipment.

The Tibetan people have a strong cultural atmosphere. I saw many such wind-horse flags along the way. The Tibetan transliteration is "Lungda" and the Chinese meaning is prayer flags. This is their unique way of praying.

In the minds of Tibetans, white is pure and kind, red is vigorous and vigorous, green is feminine and peaceful, yellow is kind and knowledgeable, and blue is brave and witty. The five-color wind and horse prayer flags completely represent the gods of heaven and earth.

It is rare to encounter such a clear sky. The scenery during the hike gave us more motivation. Looking at the top of the mountain covered with hat-like snow, the picturesque scenery made us sigh that it felt so good to escape from the city. good!

I stopped and walked along the way, and gradually adapted to the weight of the backpack, but I still sweated a lot. The quick-drying jacket I wore inside was completely soaked, and the jacket outside was also soaked in sweat, but my physical fitness was still quite good. , now I know that daily exercise is so worth it.

As we continue to climb, the altitude becomes higher and higher, the oxygen content becomes less and less, and the slope of about 60 degrees is intimidating, but the scenery along the way becomes more and more spectacular, and the sky becomes clearer and clearer, which makes our enthusiasm continue Feeling high, leaving fatigue and sweat behind!

Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and those who were in good physical condition would slow down and wait for the fellow travelers who were still trying to climb behind. Although I prefer walking alone, because I think walking alone is free and unrestrained, but I also have to endure loneliness. On the contrary, The travel friends had a lot more fun together, encouraging each other, taking photos of each other, and recording this beautiful moment!

Long picture warning

After a few hours of hiking, I arrived at the camping place, took off my equipment, and started to set up the tent in a hurry. The strong sunlight shone on my body, and the stream of tiredness came over me. I looked at the scenery outside the tent and collapsed on the moisture-proof mat. , this moment seems to be integrated with the mountains and clouds, so comfortable!

No WeChat, no Internet, no worries

Only this inexhaustible scenery

Walking around is an extremely luxurious experience

However, you should pay attention to sun protection in the plateau, otherwise you will be like me, still shedding your skin, and the magic scarf and hat have not been able to do their job. After resting, it’s time to collect water for cooking. The water collection point is located below the summit. The original natural spring water flowing from the snow-capped mountains has a refreshing taste!

I prepared my sleeping bag at night and planned a bonfire party, but the weather was not good and it suddenly started raining, which once again confirmed the rapid change of weather on the plateau! Sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows, and sometimes it hails. It is a beautiful thing to lie down in the tent and listen to the wind and rain.

Being on the plateau this time, the altitude sickness did not have a big impact on me. The reaction was very mild. However, it was the first time for some trekking friends to come up. Some of them couldn't bear it and stayed up all night. Due to the rain, the summit climbing plan in the early morning had to be cancelled, but I got up at 4 am and saw the Milky Way!

When the sun rises from the top of the snowy area and shines on every climber, the thin air presents us with an extraordinary sight. The instinct to pursue heights dormant in the body is released at this moment. The challenge of our own limits and the awe of the snow-covered sacred mountains make us make a choice in front of the mountain. No matter what height you can stand at, you are a success, because this is your pursuit, and because we are here.

Countless efforts just to stay at the top of the snowy land for a moment

Just to realize the wish to rise with the sun

Maybe this is the meaning of hiking

Travel cannot extend the length of life, but it can expand the width of life
