The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, geographically, has a distinct stepped structure.

From the Sichuan Basin, through Ya'an, Wenchuan, into the Hengduan Mountains, is a process of climbing, the altitude is constantly rising, to fold more, Gongga as the dividing line, after the Xindu Bridge, the terrain begins to flatten.

The altitude came to an average of about 4,000 meters.

If you are in poor health and have altitude sickness, you need to be careful.

Tagong, Hongyuan, Malkang, Ruoergai and other areas are all located in this flat belt, and in the hearts of herders, these grasslands are the closest places to heaven.

Customs such as sky burial and water burial, lakes, Haizi and other landforms, vultures, golden eagles, wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, snow leopards, horses and bears, and wolves, these wild animals are also the most abundant in this area.

The scenery also changed abruptly, the line of sight became extremely open, and there was no longer the desolate and bitter cold appearance before, at a glance, rolling pastures, dotted cattle and sheep, occasionally a herdsman's tent, five-colored cloth strips, prayer flags, white stone pagodas, mani piles, and rabbits, marmots, dotted grass and flowers, and wild horses galloping from time to time.

The view is breathtaking.

It is only on the grassland that you can experience the thrilling beauty of Tibet.

It's crazy to see the lack of a door: "Fan Yang, this grassland is too big, isn't it......?"

"Pretty, isn't it?"

Fan Yang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and felt it, letting the lofty sky and pure nature wash his mind.

Even if he is missing, there is a fascination on his face.

All the way to Xiaoxing overnight, Zhao Guangming said 150 kilometers, in fact, far more than that, along the Tagong grassland walked another day, it took four and a half days, the terrain slowly sank, and finally came to a transition zone between the mountains and the grassland.

At the end of the eye, there are several majestic snow peaks, at least five or six thousand meters above sea level, rising from the ground in a large grassland, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the snow peaks, dyeing the snow peaks a golden yellow.

Zhao Guangming pointed to the opposite snow peak and said: "See, this is a great scenic spot in Tibet, this is called Zhaojin Mountain, and those mountains, the locals call Zhakin Mountain, I am sure that there is definitely a golden vein here." ”

Looking at the snow peaks in the distance, Zhao Guangming had a frenzy on his face, and his usual submissive image suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his excitement and excitement were beyond words.

A rolling meadow with several majestic snow-capped peaks in the distance is a rare sight even in Tibet.

At this time, it is closer, but it is another feeling, the so-called Zhaojin Mountain, in fact, the sun shines on the snow-capped mountain, reflecting into gold, but these peaks, and other places are not the same, appear more majestic, quaint, several peaks are scattered, the shape is also very regular, the main peak, can basically be seen as an isosceles triangle shape.

Snow peaks have been weathered over many years, and there are no major geological upheavals, to form such a regular peak shape.

On one of the ridges of the peak, from a distance, it seems that there is a temple.

There is a strong mountain cult in Tibetan areas, and often a temple is built in a dangerous place, which adds a lot of mystery.

These temples are not only worshipped, but also have other meanings, such as celestial burials.

These mountains are very sacred in the minds of the herdsmen, and there are a few vultures hovering in the sky, and there is a lack of a hand to put on their eyes: "Is this what those herdsmen call the condors? Why do they fly so high?"

"Vulture, where is this condor, the condor flies higher than the airplane, flying thousands of miles a day, you see it here, flapping its wings twice, it flew to Nepal, the condor in the herdsman's mouth is a golden eagle, it is difficult to see. Zhao Guangming said.

"Golden eagle?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes knows, the Condor Heroes know, the eagle mentioned in it is this kind of golden eagle, just your size, one claw can catch you to the sky, very big. Zhao Guangming replied.

"Lie to people, how big a carving can take people away. ”

"You still don't believe it, when the herdsmen see the eagle, they all want to worship and kowtow, also called Dapeng, which is the mount of the Bodhisattva, and it is a blessing to see it. ”

"Good fellow, I thought this was the Condor. "Watching the sky spread its wings and hover, even if it is a vulture, it is also yearning.

"If you look closely, you'll know, it's ugly to death, cannibalistic. ”

"Cannibalism?......"

Fan Yang also nodded and said, "It's to feed the vultures, but it doesn't dare to pounce on the living." ”

Fan Yang observed that this should be in the transition zone between the grassland and the high mountains, and further inside, there are mountains.

It's just that he didn't know which mountain range it belonged to, so he asked Zhao Guangming: "Which mountain range are these mountains?"

Zhao Guangming shook his head: "It seems to be Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, but the details are not very clear." ”

Fan Yang looked at Zhao Guangming's eyes, and he was a little more appreciative, don't look at him because he doesn't look good, although he doesn't seem to have read much, but his knowledge is quite extensive, and it is thanks to people like him that he can find this kind of place.

These places are born with a sense of mystery, and looking at the shape of the mountains, Fan Yang doesn't understand feng shui, and if you want to change to someone who understands feng shui, it's a new statement.

said to Zhao Guangming, there was a golden vein in it, and I couldn't help but believe it a little.

A few people no longer stayed, from the tail of the mountain range to the inside, into a river valley area, on both sides of the rocks are overgrown, at a glance it is how many years have not been in the appearance of people, everywhere can be seen in the primitive landform, the more you go inside, the vegetation is gradually denser.

Walking along the river valley for two or three hours, it is like walking into a scenic area similar to Jiuzhaigou.

The water in the valley is soothing, and the occasional waterhole is so clear that even the pebble lines are clearly visible, and the fish are not afraid of people.

After a little further walking, the valley was lined with sparse fir trees, the ground was covered with fine bryophytes, and at the end of the line of sight, on a flat slope, a tattered shed with a thick layer of pine needles.

"It's here. ”

In the forest deep in the mountains, he actually built a shed to pan for gold.

In less than October, when the snow was about to close the mountain, Zhao Guangming left last year, covering it with a thick layer of pine needles, branches, and a few oilcloths on the outside.

It was already May, and the temperature in the mountains was still very low, and the sheds were wet, and there were still some fine frost flowers on the pine needles that had begun to rot.

"Come and help me remove the tarpaulin, and I hope these guys don't get moldy. ”

When the tarpaulin was removed, the hut appeared in front of several people, and if you looked closely, the structure was quite ingenious, this shed was set up in the middle of several firs, and the lower pad was about a meter high, and it was all made of wood, and the arm-thick logs were built one by one, and a triangular slope was made on the top.

Zhao Guangming's carpentry is very good, and a small window has been opened in the front.
