The Dragon Boat Festival of Dadongliang is beautiful, beautiful and smiling, and beautiful

If I hadn't liked mountain climbing, I would never have known that in the mountains of the Great Qinling Mountains, above 2,500 meters above sea level, there would be vast and flat meadows on some mountains. I would not imagine that the mountains are not all pointed, but the beams are flat and wide like the back of a cow, and the plants on the beams follow the "grass in the south and wood in the north". Not to mention, you don't know that the azaleas that grow in flower pots will grow on the high mountains for thousands of years, forming forests and blooming all over the mountains and fields into a sea of flowers. As I have seen with my own eyes, the rhododendron tree is the flower that blooms on the highest mountain, and it only blooms at an altitude of more than 2,400 meters. From the initial tall rhododendron forest, after reaching a height of 2,800 meters, if there is "southern grass and northern wood", on the westerly side, the meadow will be shaped like a shrub, with dwarf branches and small leaves of purple rhododendrons.

Well, every year from April, I am as busy as a beekeeper. At this time, climbing the mountain is to go to the flower feast on the high mountain. First there are white rhododendron on the ridges of the land in mid-April, and then wild rhododendrons at higher altitudes. It can be said that from May 1st to mid-June, I was in the Qinling Mountains almost every week at an altitude of more than 2,500 meters. On May Day, the large-leaved pink rhododendron is the first to bloom at an altitude of more than 2,300 meters. Heavy snow often falls in the mountains at the beginning of May. Trekking through the snow to see the azaleas is a lot of fun!

After two weeks, the large-leaved rhododendron forest withered from low to high altitude, and it was time for the dwarf-leaved purple azaleas on the bald mountain meadow above 2,800 meters opposite to bloom, and I would not miss it.

I love purple azaleas. I especially like the purple azaleas that bloom in the vast meadows. On the top of these mountains, the tallest plants, which are no more than half a meter high, bloom in the meadows that have just returned to green, and become a beautiful sea of flowers. Such an overwhelming mountain spread, I met once in the bald mountain meadow. It is also at the highest altitude of the Qinling Mountains, and it has also been seen in the Taibai Mountain, where the Qinling Mountains are the latest. It was also the sixth year in a row that I went to Taibai Mountain when the mountains were dyed purple and red, and finally last year just in time for the full flowering period, I was fortunate to see the purple azaleas blooming from Xiaowengong all the way to the highest Xiantai in the Qinling Mountains.

Whether it is a large-leaved tree or a small-leaved and dwarf-branched purple cuckoo tree, the full flowering period is only one week. This is not a flower guarding the door of the house, and it is not easy to meet it on time. In addition, there is no exact date for the full bloom of this week due to the weather. It takes some luck to get to the top of your bloom.

I've been to Bald Mountain, which is relatively close, more than 10 times, and I only met the peak flowering period last year. Although the area of the bald mountain meadow is large, the difference in altitude is only about 100 meters. Therefore, the full flowering period is basically the same, that is, one week. This week's full flowering period is full of buds waiting to bloom a week early, full of flower buds, and the occasional sporadic flowers are messengers to inform that the flowering period is approaching. Gone a week late for nothing, occasionally a few broken flowers bobbing their heads in the wind, as if to say: Come early next year!

In short, if you don't see it with your own eyes, the dense branches and leaves that look like waterlessness grow like weeds on the meadow, you can't imagine that they are all small heads with gorgeous big flowers on their heads!

I've been to Dongliang more than 20 times, but I haven't seen the purple rhododendrons growing close to the ground on the Daliang meadow at an altitude of more than 2,800 meters.

First of all, there are no dwarf branches and small-leaved purple rhododendrons on the way to the top of the east beam. The second is that only on the pass meadows of the East Liang and the South Liang there is a patch of purple rhododendrons. Later, I found that there were some small-leaved dwarf rhododendrons on the way from Fujiahe to Nanliang, but I didn't catch up with the flowering period all these years. I've never seen rhododendrons bloom here, so I'm not sure if they'll bloom, and I can't imagine how lush flowers will bloom on these weed-like branches. Therefore, I really don't come specifically for this.

In addition, at this time of year, there is a lot of rain, and the mountain flood is so strong that you have to wade through seven or eight rivers on the way to Dongliang, and the road conditions in the rocky beach are very poor and dangerous. This makes it more difficult to meet the flowering season. In addition, a trip back to Dongliang was nearly 25 kilometers, climbing more than 1,000 meters, most of the time climbing more than 2,000 meters, and walking on the endless pile of rocks washed down by the flood, the process was very hard, and it was not just to come. That's why I come here three or four times a year, but I don't see a dwarf rhododendron. I haven't seen it, so I don't have much to look forward to.

However, the climbers are expecting the sea of azaleas on the east and west sides to start in 2016!

The area around Dongliang belongs to no man's land. Nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, the top of the mountain is like a beam, and the scenery is charming. In 2013, an outdoor team developed a three-day route from Tianhua Mountain across Daxiliang to Dongliang and Nanliang, and had to camp on the mountain beam. It is when you stay overnight that you can see the brilliant starry sky and sunrise and sunset, and when you are lucky, you can also see the sea of clouds and takin. The beauty of the environment quickly warmed up in the climbing circle, making this route desirable.

All year round, there are strong climbers who reload and cross the girders. As a result, three routes to Tianhua Mountain to Xiliang to Dongliang were developed. It is said that "there is a lot all year round", but in fact, there are very few teams to send this route, mainly because of the need to upgrade the tent camping, which makes many people who can't bear the weight prohibitive. For example, I have never even risen to yearn for it. I'm all a simple bag traveler for a day. Tianhua Mountain crosses, which is the exclusive land of strong donkeys.

I have been in the East Beam more than 20 times and have seen the clouds and mist on the West Beam, and the green and yellow of the year. Perhaps when the meadow of the West Beam is green, it is the same as on the East Beam, and the mountains are full of flowers, and a hundred flowers are blooming. It's just that I haven't been to Xiliang when the flowers are in full bloom, not once. The flowers of those little grasses are so small that they are all in the grass, and they can only be seen when they get closer. Therefore, in my eyes, the big west beam is the same as the east beam, which is full of alpine grass, always the true color of the meadow, and the forest on the northern slope is faintly visible, just like a dark green barrier. This may also be the understanding of the vast majority of climbers who go to Dongliang.

In 2016, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the travelers who crossed from Tianhua Mountain came across the sea of dwarf purple rhododendrons on the West Beam and the East Beam! The sea of flowers is so big and beautiful that it can be called a fantasy! It suddenly exploded a group of travelers! Moreover, there are often takins on the route of Tianhua Mountain through the East Beam, which makes the climbers yearn for it even more. It also has the reputation of "Tianhua does not look at the mountain when he goes, and he does not appreciate the flowers after Xiliang goes".

When the picture of wandering in the 10,000 acres of flowers in Xiliang was transmitted back the year before last, it was boiling in the climbing circle all of a sudden! This is the magic, the sea of flowers in Xiliang rises every year, but it is met by people in this year. Since then, mountain climbers have been thinking about it, and some people have happily slept here every year to share its most beautiful. It was also this discovery that basically grasped the time when the azaleas on the beam were in full bloom. However, rhododendrons only bloom for one week, and will fluctuate with the climate at the time, and the timing will be earlier or later. Therefore, it will take some luck to see the sea of azaleas.

To this end, in order to allow more people like me who can't carry heavy equipment, the organizers have opened up a one-day strong route. That is, the night before the departure to live at the foot of the mountain, the next morning at six o'clock to set off up the mountain, one day to walk all over Tianhua Mountain, West Liang and East Liang.

I am also full of curiosity and yearning, and the Xiliang Flower Sea is too attractive to me. But I can't imagine the specific location of the azaleas covered with the West Beam in the West Beam, I only know that it passed by on the way from Tianhua Mountain. Since I have a day of light clothing and strong wear, then I will fight once. Besides, I can walk around and can't carry my equipment. I can carry the weight of a road meal with me. At the same time, I also decided to fight this time Tianhua Mountain crossing, and it must be when the sea of flowers swells on the beam.

Last year, I went to the appointment on time! As a result, on the way, I couldn't avoid the takin, which caused the front teammate to be killed and died halfway. This accident frightened me a lot. We climb mountains to pursue quality of life, not to play with our lives. At that time, I vowed not to go to the no-man's land to climb the mountain again, and I would never look forward to seeing takin. However, it may really be an addiction to climbing. After a week of tranquility, the next week I went to Bald Mountain, which was closer to Xi'an, with my two companions at the time, for the reason that the shadows were removed as soon as possible. As a result, he also met two other people there who were at the scene of the incident. After meeting, they looked at each other and smiled helplessly, shook their heads and passed speechlessly. At that moment, I knew that I would definitely go to Tianhua Mountain again in the coming year.

A year is a fast time. When I saw the purple azaleas blooming sporadically on the bald mountain at an altitude similar to the east beam last week, I knew that on the west beam, which is nearly 100 meters high, if the weather is sunny for a week, then next week will be the day of blooming. At this time, there are many people looking forward to going to the Xiliang Sky Rhododendron Garden, and a large number of climbers have gone to Dongliang to attend the flower meeting since two weeks ago.

I also began to pay attention to the dynamics of the outdoor team about the Tianhua crossing half a month in advance. When I saw that there was a line that was different from last year's Tianhua Mountain line, and it was the best route to Xiliang, I was moved. I want to hit through Tianhua Mountain again!

However, last year's accident still has lingering palpitations. Consider it carefully and look at the weather conditions of that week (the last time I was on another route to Tianhua Mountain, I was moving forward in the heavy rain, and now I look back on it is really a tragic foreshadowing), but I am worried that there will be too many people to report and miss out. During the waiting period, the urge to go increased day by day. I finally got up until Monday, and I signed up after seeing the weather forecast for the week. This is also the first time I signed up four days in advance, for fear that I would be late and there would be no places. The moment after signing up, the appearance of wandering in the sea of flowers in Xiliang appeared in my mind, which was really exciting to think about!

However, the day after I signed up, a traveler told me that the day before yesterday, he had met takin in Erliang, under the east beam. I was shocked by the news. I have stopped at Erliang many times. In addition, the people who come here to climb the mountain, if they can't climb the East Beam, they must take the second beam as the goal, and the regular ones who climb the East Beam also have lunch here, which makes the second beam very lively, but I have never seen or heard of the takin infested here. Now even the lively Erliang has takin, so the inaccessible Tianhua Mountain and Xiliang were originally a large-scale habitat for takin. In the past, in the route through Tianhua Mountain, the chance of the front team directly encountering or seeing the takin herd at close range was almost 100%.

I was a little scared when I thought of this. But I comforted myself that there were a lot of people going this time, there were more than 40 people in the whole team, and I could just walk to the middle of the team at that time. Travelers who have been to Tianhua Mountain many times before told me that under normal circumstances, the front team can encounter takin herds, and they must be afraid of people, and they will hide in the distance after seeing people.

However, I thought of the accident last year, and the single takin was lying on the hillside not far from the trail, watching the team pass by. Maybe the line is too long, decided to find a gap to leave quickly, just happened to be climbing up the team members suddenly head-on, the team members are climbing up in the heavy rain, attention is all under the feet, the takin saw the person after taking off to dodge, I don't know whether it was the hooves or horns to meet the person, the accident happened......

Now, as I relive the scene, fear rises. Although knowing that takin will not take the initiative to attack people. But climbers have trespassed on their territory and disrupted their lives. If we don't understand each other's language, misjudgment is inevitable. Sometimes you can't leave anything to chance. The traveler who died was also a very famous donkey, and he had also walked the Tianhua Mountain route many times, so how could he know that he would not be able to go back this time? At this time, I thought of a brother who was a friend of literature who said to me not long ago: "I give you a piece of advice, people are all planted in their own interests. "That's it, accidents are unpreventable, so why take any risks for it. I'm a greedy lover of the world after all!

After thinking about it, the result was canceled this Tianhua Mountain crossing. There are also regrets and regrets. I know this is the one I'm most likely to achieve.

It turned out later that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, they met a traveler who crossed from Tianhua Mountain in Dongliang, and they said that the front team met a lone takin at close range, and the two were frightened!

At the same time as canceling the two-day crossing line, I decided to report for the first day. At that time, there was a lot of determination, and if there was no outdoor team to send this route, we would have gone by car. In short, it is necessary to go to Dongliang during the Dragon Boat Festival. Because I saw the dwarf purple azaleas blooming in the watershed last week, I am sure that Dongliang will bloom this week. More importantly, the highlight of Tianhua Mountain crossing is in the Xiliang Flower Sea. If possible, I will go down from the east beam to the west beam to visit the most beautiful scenery on the beam. As for the section from Tianhua Mountain to Xiliang, the wish of mountain climbers to meet takin in the past is a nightmare for me. For this reason, I really look forward to it, and in my climbing career, I wish each other that even if we don't look at each other, we will unfortunately meet each other.

As a result, I really found an outdoor team that was the only one to send a group to Dongliang on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. This is the best result. If you drive, there are few people or a little scared, and a person will never dare to go to Xiliang rashly.

I didn't walk with this outdoor team. Xu is the world's travelers are many like-minded, and after getting on the bus, they meet the organizers as before. When I asked him not to return from Dongliang Yuan and to go down the mountain from Nanliang Pass, he was a little embarrassed. I hurriedly said, "I'm not a risk-taker. If no one descends from the Nanliang Pass after reaching the top of the East Beam, then I must return with the team. After hearing this, he said in understanding, "Yes." I see that your circle of friends is full of climbing, so there should be no problem. And informed the leader of this one-day crossing (he is the leader of the two-day crossing).

Actually, I made up my mind when I signed up, and I must go to Nanliang Pass. As long as the team leader agrees to let me leave the team, I will definitely go to Xiliang. Today, the team leader can agree to this, which really helps me take a big step towards making my dream come true.

When we arrived at the Qinling Expressway service area at the entrance to the mountain pass, I smiled when I saw that the parking lot of Nuoda was full of private cars that had arrived early. There are a lot of people coming to the appointment today! It turns out that these people are all going to Xiliang, the same route as me!

The weather has been nice today and for the last week. In the past, before walking to the three forks, you had to cross the Badao River, and some of the rivers were so turbulent that you were really scared to step on the makeshift single-plank bridge. Today was surprisingly good, with only three rivers that were shallow enough to tread through directly. It's a perfect time!

The only disturbance was that there was a father and son in the team, and the little boy was eight years old. The schoolboy backpack is heavier than mine. At first, I walked forward quickly, and after more than half an hour, the little boy who was resting saw me overtaking him and immediately chased me away. At first I didn't pay attention, but when I overtook him, he hurried a few steps ahead of me. I persuaded him several times to wait for his father, but the child just wanted me to go with him. And it was walking at his pace, disrupting my cadence. When I got to Shihai, he had already left his father far away, and I didn't feel at ease to put him down. Of course, I can't get rid of him. I was anxious and worried that I wouldn't be able to reach the meadow by one o'clock. In that case, today's plan will be all in vain, and Dongliang will not be able to go, which will make me anxious.

Finally, just after one o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Erliang Meadow, and the elementary school students couldn't walk. I told him to wait here for his father, while the rest of the people here took care of him. I didn't eat, so I hurried to the top of Dongliang. Perhaps it was because he didn't eat lunch and walked slowly, but in this very steep climb, his heart was about to jump out when he came before (it seems that the little boy was an angel), and he quickly shook off the two men who were traveling with him. An hour later, climb the East Beam.

Here I met the vanguard who crossed over from Tianhua Mountain in one day, and learned that the purple azaleas were in full bloom in front of me. However, the waist-high rhododendron in front of me first made me interested. I have come and gone to Dongliang, and every time I have to pass through this large area of rhododendron jungle, I still have not seen it bloom once. Today, I saw flowers in the forest. Although the full bloom period has passed, there are still a few trees that are blooming perfectly. These azaleas that bloom very close to the top of the east beam, jade white petals, bright yellow stamens, each flower has a petal like freckles red, showing a perfect white and red, really the queen of flowers, noble and elegant.

I have always had a deep respect for the alpine rhododendron trees that grow at the highest altitudes and in harsh environments. Looking at their hundred-year-old age, but their height has hardly changed in ten years, they stubbornly guard Dongliang, like a garden on one side. Think of how spectacular this sea of white flowers will be during the full bloom season. Thinking of this, I was a little excited, I really think that it doesn't matter if I can see it or not, the important thing is that this sea of flowers is year after year, just dress up in Dongliang!

Through this waist-length rhododendron forest, continue up to the Dongliang Meadow. Soon it was in front of the great chieftain tree. I was still in no hurry to get to the top, and as I had come for the first time, I reported to the leader tree that was dancing wildly, and then sent my salute.

At this moment, looking at this human-shaped tree, he seems to be saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the fairyland!"

Today, on the top of Dongliang, everyone is still vying to take a photo with Dongliang's Peugeot "Aunt Tree". I'm the same, only in this way can I leave me with a picture and the truth and go to Dongliang again. Then he put down his backpack and rushed to the east beam. "Put down the backpack" because I have to return here later, go down the Nanliang Pass from the other direction, and then go down the mountain from there.

In the past, I have been here many times, and I can only see the top of the west beam on the top of the east beam, and I can see the wind and clouds on the opposite west beam at the west end of the east beam. Therefore, just now I was in the position of "Aunt Mother-in-law", and what I saw was also the top of the west beam, and the top was like the east beam, full of green beams. The reason why I wanted to rush to the west slope of the East Beam was that I had met a traveler who came from the West Beam and told me that the rhododendrons on the West Beam were in full bloom, and I could see it when I went down from the East Beam.

After I ran past the top of the 20-meter East Beam, I was so surprised by what I suddenly saw that I let out an "ah" and straightened my back! I saw that the former big meadow had turned into a sea of gorgeous and colorful flowers! As far as the eye could see, it was full of purple azaleas in full bloom. There are so many purple azaleas that you can't see the end, you can't see the edge, it's simply a sea of flowers and a mountain of flowers, as if this is the world of rhododendrons, it's really beautiful and shocking! I really admire these inconspicuous, weed-like shrubs and purple rhododendrons, which can bloom on the high mountains in such a magnificent sweeping meadow, and become the main color on the big west beam.

Look closely at the west slope below that is only more than ten meters away from the top of the east beam, look at it from under my feet, the rhododendrons that are not more than a foot high are clustered all over the mountain, spread out like a flower cloth, all the way to the bottom of the slope of the east beam and the vast and flat pass meadow formed by the bottom of the slope of the west beam, and then climb up the big west beam with all the might, and only rest when you reach the top of the west beam. The lush and gorgeous flowers of the purple rhododendron show that there are only flowers here! Its scale is so large, so magnificent, so pure, it is simply amazing! Just like the artificially planted flowers and flowers, it is just like the beautiful hanging garden, and it is also the garden of the gods!

How accurate is this situation and this scene to be defined by "sea of flowers". On the pass between the two flower mountains, there is a sea of flowers injected into by the east and west beams, and this 10,000 acres of bright flowers and blue sky and white clouds are surging together, becoming a beautiful sea of flowers in the sky! At this time, the visitors who wander in the sea of flowers are the sea of flowers under their knees, and they are in the clouds, and they are completely in the hanging garden!

At an altitude of more than 2,600 meters, there is only one kind of grass that grows close to the ground and has a long lifespan. Thick and soft, it is called a meadow (different from the grassland), and if it is in the mountain beam, then it all follows the natural law of "grass in the south and wood in the north". At this time, the tenacious dwarf purple rhododendron is the only tallest plant in the meadow. For the survival of the fittest, the purple rhododendron will take shelter from the windy and sunny western slopes of the meadows, and if there are any, they will grow in nests and patches. On the top of the East Beam and on the Second Liang Meadow, there is not a single purple rhododendron. At the foot of the east beam, the west side is full of slopes. The most is the West Beam, it can be said that the entire West Beam and the pass are full of purple azaleas. The area is so large that it can only be shown with 10,000 acres of magnificence, just like planting, from the beam all the way to the pass connecting the east beam, and then to the top of the east beam. It's just that when they reach the east beam, like the last sprint, they are all tenacious families who climb up the slope, and they open up into a nest and compete with the meadow on the slope, making the top of the mountain as beautiful as God's garden.

At this time, I saw from a distance, an orange tent rose among the flowers on the slope of the west beam, and several people drank tea around the stove in front of the raised door curtain. Oh, the fireworks are here, it is a fairyland world! What a pleasant, what a happy life!

Although I didn't enjoy a night and a drink in the world in a fairyland, I was a fairy in the world in a complete sense. But I didn't have to carry weights, I came lightly, in the fairyland flower sea at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, leaning over the sea of flowers in the sky garden, and getting up to pick up the white clouds. How wonderful this scene is, and truly experience the "envy of the gods of direct teaching"!

I am really happy, very excited, very happy, very happy! This is the 27th time I have been to Dongliang, and I have overlooked Xiliang several times, but it is the first time that I have been fortunate to see the rhododendrons blooming on the beam, and it is also the first time I have come to Xiliang, and it is the first time I have seen this slope of Dongliang that is also full of flowers! In the past few years, whenever I see the purple azaleas in the hanging garden, I only have envy. I feel that I can't go to Tianhua Mountain, and I don't know where that sea of flowers is in Xiliang, and I can't see it. I didn't expect that this sea of flowers was actually on a par with Dongliang, and you could see it when you arrived at Dongliang! It also once again confirmed that we have never been to a place, and we never know what kind of scenery is waiting for us!

At this moment, I realized the sentence "Tianhua returns without looking at the mountains, and Xiliang has been without looking at the flowers"!

At the top of the Dongliang slope, there is a nest of rhododendrons with bright peach, the flowers are clustered, like a bouquet of flowers, I sit down happily and hold it, and the traveler sees it and says: It is really like it is dedicated to you!

Yes, I also think so, it is Dongliang's reward for me! Reward me for trekking through mountains and rivers, climbing ice and snow, and coming to meet my eternal Dongliang "lover" more than 20 times in nine years. That sea of flowers is a gluttonous feast!

Although the sea of azaleas in Daxiliang is so beautiful that people don't want to come out, it is so beautiful that it is known as "Xiliang has seen it or not". But I'm not a person who likes the new and hates the old. My original intention remains the same as the deep love of the East Liang, originally the East Beam, the West Beam and the South Beam are connected, should belong to the Great East Liang. Just to distinguish it, the travelers themselves attached its current name.

At that time, when he rushed down the west beam, he put his backpack and trekking poles on top of the east beam. Therefore, I could not directly cut from the West Liang Pass to the South Liang Pass, so I had to climb to the top of the East Liang Pass. I saw that some of the players of the same team were resting on the top of the East Beam, and some were taking pictures of the "Aunt Tree". Or they didn't think that they could see a sea of flowers if they walked more than 30 meters forward. That's fine, I don't know at all, and I don't have any regrets! I walked the same twenty-five kilometers, but I saw something different. Think about it and feel sorry for them!

Today, the "mother-in-law tree" on the top of the east beam is no longer the point. I'm going to leave quickly, and I'm going to the Nanliang Pass Meadow. I went to see the dwarf rhododendron I saw every time I came, but I never saw it bloom. At one point, I suspected that these grassy bushes would not bloom. Only the year before last, a fellow traveler sat next to a dead tree in my "cradle" for two years in a row, with purple azaleas in full bloom on one side! I feel like someone else has come to my paradise first. But the displeasure flashed away, and instead of a photo of thanking this traveler, I knew the days when the small purple rhododendron bloomed on the Nanliang Pass. It was also from then on that my expectations had an exact date.

Well, now that little garden must be open. Therefore, I ran eagerly towards the pass. Sure enough, I saw the "cradle tree" and the azalea together from a distance! I smiled excitedly and bent over, and hurriedly sat on my "cradle tree", leaving me in the same frame as the blooming purple azalea garden on the "cradle tree"! In the past, every time I came, I would lie on the "cradle tree" and leave a picture of a sweet dream in the clouds. You can say how many times you come, how many times you shoot. However, I have no intention of sleeping on it today, because the cuckoos are blooming thick on the meadow, and how can I sleep without seeing it!

So, I happily threw myself into the garden. Sitting among the flowers, I couldn't stop smiling. The only small piece of rhododendron on this Nanliang pass must have been dedicated to this meadow, and it was also dedicated to the Panlong pine, which was hundreds of years old from the shape of the tree, but it did not know that it had died decades ago and dried into charcoal, but it still did not fall! This tree should be the same as the "aunt tree" on the top of the Dongliang, it was accidentally far away from the forest, contrary to the "southern grass and northern wood", and grew alone and tenaciously on the meadow. Although I don't understand, since it has grown against the wind for hundreds of years, and the diameter of the tree is more than 20 meters, how can it eventually die and become a symbol on the Dongliang meadow. It's just that the dead tree on the top of the East Beam is thicker, the diameter of the tree is more than 30 meters, because of its location has become the symbol of the East Beam, accept the tribute of the climbers, respect it as the "mother-in-law tree", the famous mountain climbing group.

This one, but no one paid attention to it. It is also known as the "crooked neck tree" (the trunk is more than one meter high, the only thick branch on the top, the head is slightly raised, like a crescent moon stretching out to the side, in a large L-shape). I loved it from the first time I saw it. In my eyes it was the "cradle tree", and the first time I lay on it. Strange to say, when I first saw the dead tree on the top of Dongliang, I was scared, thinking that it was a weathered old man who was very old, and he was the thousand-year-old gatekeeper of Dongliang. However, I was overjoyed when I saw this "crooked-necked tree" in the eyes of others. When I looked up at the camera during the shooting, I was overjoyed when I found that the dead branches were in the clouds. Lying on it, I am above the clouds, and I have become my cradle! Every time I wake up from a sweet dream, not to mention how happy!

I also wondered why no one else cared about this tree, but I loved it so much. I think it has something to do with my naivety. In my eyes, there is such a tree in the middle of the mountains, the mountains in my hands, above the meadows, and in the clouds, so that I can lie comfortably on my back in it! This is also the only place in the mountains I have walked to, and the only place where I can lie on it and laugh is my cradle! In a sense, I came to Dongliang and had a good time on the "cradle", which was a successful trip to Dongliang. Sometimes when I walked from the Dongliang Meadow to the Nanliang Pass, I clearly saw the vacant "cradle tree" beckoning to me: "Come on, come on!" At this time, I ran happily, lying down and feeling that the dead tree was also laughing. It is clearly saying: my value is embodied!

Today is very different. The only piece of rhododendron blooming on the green meadow, which corresponds to the "cradle tree" from afar, is really the icing on the cake, poetic and romantic, my real paradise, and Dadongliang together become a fairy garden.

At the very front of the Nanliang Meadow Pass, there are two living trees, which are called "husband and wife trees". Because of the strong winds, the branches of the trees on the top of the mountain are basically blown to one side. The canopies of the two trees are facing each other, with their tall and smooth trunks facing each other. Therefore, looking at each other like two people, the "husband and wife tree" comes from this. But to me, they're just a door. Inside the door are the south, east and west beams. Out of this gate, we started to descend the mountain. Entering is a fairyland, and coming out is a world!

I've been in and out of here, and I've had a great time every time, and I've been fortunate in this life. What we see today is a gift from God! June 6, 2016

P.S. The last thing that must be said is: I will come again on June 15th of the second week. I came to Dongliang for two consecutive weeks, and I also set a record for climbing Dongliang first in these years. I came back nostalgically even though I knew that the rhododendron bloom period was only a week, but not only did I see that there were no flowers at all, but I was also soaked in heavy rain.
