Chapter 354: Sky Mirror
Continue to drive west, every October is the most prosperous season for rape flowers in Qinghai Lake, under the blue sky and white clouds and Qilian Snow Mountain, the golden yellow that stretches for thousands of miles looks extremely colorful, like a huge oil painting, beautiful and moving.
As far as the eye can see, the composition of the large golden color blocks that can be seen everywhere gives people rich associations, full of the unique romantic atmosphere of the West. Unlike rape flowers in spring, they are not as delicate and delicate.
Xu grew up in the northwest, with more wanton and publicity, more atmosphere, more brilliance, and more visual shock. Only by being in the middle of it can you truly appreciate that momentum. I found that Qilian Mountain is very suitable for self-driving, driving a car, free, and the scenery is infinite all the way.
Driving all the way, Johnson came to the Zhuoer Mountain Scenic Area, where the mountains in the distance were undulating and full of momentum, and from time to time they were lingering with the ethereal clouds and mist. Nearby, yellow and green, bright colors, and pure blue sky, these strong colors are quietly intertwined, so beautiful, but so natural.
When you get off the bus, you can't help but be in the gorgeous and vivid rape flowers, which naturally become an indispensable embellishment in the picture.
The sky is blue and far away, as clean as the sea. Under the blue sky, the bright yellow of the rape flowers is particularly eye-catching. In this patch, I began to get drunk until I got lost.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can appreciate another kind of majesty, where the view is extremely open, there is no obstruction around, you can look at it wantonly, you can breathe turbidity to cleanse your body and mind.
From a distance, the wide highway becomes a winding ribbon, and the slowly moving cars on the highway add a touch of agility to this huge painting.
The mountain rocks here are very distinctive, they are red, that is because Zhuoer Mountain belongs to the Danxia landform, which is composed of red sandstone and conglomerate. It has a nice Tibetan name for it, Dzongmuma Glaze Ma, which means beautiful ruddy queen.
The ruddy mountain has a hint of mystery, and there is a beautiful local legend: Zhuoer Mountain and Niuxin Mountain are a couple of deep lovers, Zongmuma Glaze Ma was originally a princess of the dragon world, a chance encounter, made her deeply in love with the mountain god who guards here, the heroic and extraordinary Amidonsu.
So she boldly violated the rules of heaven, broke through many obstacles, and married Amidonsu as a concubine, although the dragon king and his wife were resolutely opposed to their marriage, but Zongmuma Glaze still chose to stay in the world. Of course, she also paid the price for it, turning into a stone mountain. Since then, she and Amidonsu have been across the river, accompanied for life, and never abandoned.
Although SC Johnson has seen rape flowers in other places, the rape flowers in any place are not as colorful as here. Driving in this picturesque scenery, there will be the feeling of people swimming in the painting in the color of the car.
Find a place where the rape flowers bloom more beautifully, slowly enter the flower field, under the breeze, the large rape flowers keep dancing, and the rustling sound seems to be gently telling their dazzling and vibrant.
In fact, sometimes self-driving Qi is the best choice for travel, all the way to the sea of flowers, all the way fragrant. There is no need to hurry, just taste the beauty of the road with your heart, and feel the roughness and heroism that belong to the northwest.
The village in the distance is like a paradise, quietly spread out at the foot of the mountain. White walls and red tiles make the place even more colorful. The wind and clouds surge, from time to time to cover the sun, leaving a shadow on the grassland, such a change of light and shadow is intoxicating.
The atmospheric Qilian Mountains are like an elegant man, wearing a white scholar's hat and quietly looking at the grassland in front of him. The farther you go into the hinterland of the grassland, you will see the master of the grassland from time to time - cattle and sheep. Here they are leisurely and cheerful, and from time to time they let out a cheerful cry.
The road in the Qilian area is very atmospheric, probably because of the altitude, the sky in Qilian does not look high, and the straight road extends forward, connecting the sky and the earth, just like a heavenly road.
There is no one on the highway, walking in the meantime, the kind of world is leisurely, and the mood of passers-by is in a hurry. Continue to see a green grassy place. Different from the bustle in front, there is more tranquility here, and under its call, even the distant mountains have put away their edges and become delicate.
Suddenly, there was a herd of cattle and sheep ahead, and they walked slowly forward, stopping all passing cars as a matter of course, as if swearing their sovereignty.
It is probably because this world is so vast that no matter what kind of mood you come with, you can find solace here. With a little cool wind, warm sun, and a view that can't be seen at a glance, this world is not necessarily exclusive to you, but she can inexplicably soothe all negative emotions, gently soothing and encouraging you......
Arrive at Chaka Salt Lake, a rich and beautiful natural salt lake, known as the mirror of the sky, is a famous natural crystalline salt lake in the Qaidam Basin, the lake is vast, the scenery is pleasant, the clean lake surface makes the reflection under the feet clear and beautiful, it is a clean and pure place.
Take a small train deep into the lake, like entering the world of salt, strolling on the lake, only to see the water area is wide, the silver waves are sparkling, the white clouds are long, the mountains are grand, the snow mountains are reflected, poetic and picturesque.
It's not so much a mirror in the sky as it is a fantasy. The surface of the lake is like a magic mirror, turning the world upside down. To really get a glimpse of the sky, you need to be sunny weather, and the sun's light will make the mirror effect even more obvious. At the same time, it is necessary to go deep into the middle of the lake and reach a place with few people.
There are many large-scale artistic salt sculptures in the salt carving square, with images such as the Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Fei, and the mountain god, which are vividly depicted. Each salt sculpture is a big deal, and the salt sculpture with the theme of various legendary characters stands in front of you, which is very shocking.
In particular, the life span of salt sculptures is longer than that of sand sculptures, so they stand in the open world, let the wind and sun shine.
At night, the stars are shining brightly and reflected in the salt lake, which is vast and magnificent, and the starry sky and the lake surface are integrated, as if entering a fairy tale world. Being in it, forgetting the passage of time, and even forgetting that you are in the world.
The main attraction is not only the surface of the lake, but also the railroad track that leads to the center of the lake. The track was built in 1958 and part of the track was produced in 1904. The little train on the 2 railroad tracks fulfilled its industrial mission, but left behind this scenic line across the salt lake, and in the eyes of travelers and photographers, it even became a romantic art.
The empty salt lake, the two straight railroad tracks, and the crooked telephone poles are like the apocalyptic scene in the movie. As the light changes, the scene resembles the theater of a romance movie.
I still remember that in Spirited Away, Chihiro and the faceless man sat on a small train that shuttled across the sea level. Pedestrians are in a hurry, their bodies numb and moving forward, in contrast to the ethereal clouds outside the window, the scenery of the sea and the sky, it has long been impossible to distinguish what is moving is the fresh and slightly sad picture, or the moral behind the story, but this small red train floating on the sea is unforgettable.
When you actually get on the small train at Chaka Salt Lake, I'm afraid this scene will also come to mind.
