Section 1 Crossing the Heihe Valley in the fog
"Crossing the Black River Valley in the Fog"
The recent air pollution in Xi'an has reached a level of severity. I had to choose to climb away from the mountains, the only way to stay away from the haze. This week, I went to Heiheyu in Zhouzhi.
The reason why this valley is called Heiheyu is because there is a river called Heihe in the mountain, and the people of Xi'an drink the water of Heihe. Three years ago, I went to the water-holding area in the middle of the river in the autumn and saw that the water was endless and quiet in the mountains. The clean river is scattered with islands and mountains, lakes and mountains, and the mountains reflect in the water, just like the scenery of South Asia.
I have never been to South Asia, nor have I been to the south of my country. Therefore, I was blown away by the beauty I saw. Sister Fan, who was traveling with her, said that the scenery was the same as what she had seen in Vietnam.
When I heard her say this, I immediately imagined the scene when I was holding a boat through the mountains, and I couldn't help but laugh, and the picture was so beautiful that I was intoxicated! It was really a dreamy landscape wonderland in front of me. It's really a sigh, where we haven't reached the footsteps, we can never imagine what kind of beauty awaits us in front of us.
In the middle of the mountains, there is such a big black river, which is simply a wonder of the Qinling Mountains, and it is also a gift from God to the people of Xi'an! Because, according to the data, the high-quality and natural Heihe water that the people of Xi'an drink is among the best in the big cities!
Therefore, standing on the dam and looking at the clear water, the sweetness in my heart wells up. The beautiful scenery made me reluctant to leave.
When I was going to Heihe to climb the mountain today, my heart became excited. Imagine that the mountains that hold up the Heihe River are now all over the red mountains, so the reflection of the river will surely dye the Heihe River colorful, the water is splendid, and it is beautiful!
I set off with a heart full of excitement. Heading south, I was looking forward to getting into the mountains to breathe clean air. I didn't expect that from the chaotic cloudy day at the beginning, it was replaced by a more chaotic day when we entered the mountain, but the breathing feeling was completely different, and here was a dense fog with fresh air.
After continuing to drive on the road into the mountain for more than an hour, I came to the upper mountain pass that crossed the Heiheyu. It is already deep in the mountains, and the sea has reached 1,600 meters. In addition, it is not far from the black, the water vapor in the mountain is too strong, the humidity is too great, the fog has been thick to white paste, and the visibility was once only five meters, so I also unexpectedly saw that the mountain was thousands of purples and thousands of reds, this is because the mountain here is full of water, and the other mountains of the Qinling Mountains have fallen leaves and withered, and the dead leaves are full of branches.
The more than 30 climbers could only see the people in front and behind, and they couldn't see it when they were three or five meters away. It can be said that everyone is walking through the fog, or it can be said to be groping. This kind of weather is almost a process from when we enter the mountain to when we go down. To be precise, I didn't see any mountain scenery, only watched the fog for a day, and breathed the clean air for a day.
However, it is gratifying to note that at the mountain farm, the sky suddenly cleared, about five minutes. We saw the smoky mountains and the white sea of clouds running on the mountains, which was very spectacular. There was also the dogwood forest in the deep mountains, and I saw the largest red dogwood fruit on the branches. These are considered to be full of our eyes, and they are not worthy of our muddy water crossing!
It's just that it left me with a beautiful view of the Black River, and this time, it and I are deep in the fog and can't see it. It makes me feel like a dream!
