Section 6 In the alpine meadows, see the snow god tree again.
This week, I went to the alpine meadows, which can be said to be decided by the experience gained from climbing the mountain over the years. Because it rained lightly in the city for a day this Friday, it must have snowed on the mountains in such weather. Coupled with the weather forecast for a cloudy to sunny Saturday, there is a good chance that you will see foggy on the watershed hills. I haven't seen a fog this winter. Therefore, it was decided to go to the alpine meadows again on Saturday. It's been two weeks in a row. However, this time the route is a little different from last week, and it crosses from Dongpinggou to the watershed. It's the first time I've seen such a reversal.
When the car entered Fengyukou, I saw that there was no snow on the mountain, and I was somewhat disappointed. It seems that the reason why it rained yesterday was not only the high temperature in the city, but also the cold in the mountains. Continue to move forward, to the vicinity of Guanyin Mountain, you can see from a distance that the top of the watershed is all white, and everyone is suddenly excited again. Excitement is that everyone understands that the white seen here, not the snow on the mountain, that is invisible. If the forest is white, then it must be a forest fog.
Sure enough, as I continued to walk, I first saw snow on the side of the road on the hillside. Further on, the road was covered with snow and ice. Vehicles have either stopped to install snow chains or are afraid to move on. Continuing on, we walked into the white world, and the wonders of Wusong completely covered the forest with snow, and became a mountain full of snow trees and pear blossoms. Driving among them, you have walked into the ice and snow fairy tale world of Qinling!
After parking, everyone rushed to get out of the car, stood on the snow and cheered: so beautiful!
We were the first and only outdoor team to go up to the meadow today, and the outdoor teams behind us all changed their itinerary because the car couldn't drive. The road from the chicken nest to Dongpinggou is full of thick ice and snow, the team is very long before and after, looking forward and backward, on the road with white fog, there are many people, hazy, as if going far away.
Dongpinggou into the mountain pass is even more spectacular so that we see it and can't move our feet, only to see the whole row of tall and towering fir from top to bottom foggy song hanging, all are snow-white branches, become a row of cedars like a row, we walk in is into the world of ice and snow fairy tales. Continue to walk out of the pine forest, see from the grass to the woods, it is full of mountains covered with fog, the more upward the fog is thicker, the snow strips full of trees, so that the original winter thin forest is like flowers blooming, clusters of clusters together, open lively, beautiful so that we can't catch our eyes, laughter in the forest, excited us!
After the golden arrow bamboo leaves are inlaid with fog, it is really "gold inlaid with jade", which is beautiful and festive. We walked through the festive arrow and bamboo forest, and we were full of joy, and everyone was beaming. With full joy, we drilled out of the arrow bamboo forest and came to the meadow.
The big meadow in front of us is an endless white, today's meadow is dressed in white and dressed into a snow-white garden, there are bushes growing everywhere, a handful, a nest is just like the submarine coral, but more diverse than the coral of the snow plants, at this time the snow meadow is the perfect fusion of the underwater coral world and the ice surface, beautiful! It is so beautiful that everyone comes to the holy big garden and smiles back and back, and dances hand and foot.
When I saw that the white meadow was full of snow plants, I was thrilled, and when everyone was cheering around the "coral" bushes here, I rushed to the center of the meadow alone, and the shouts of my companions and team leaders were heard behind me, and I ignored it completely, and continued to run down the "moon" road over the center line of the meadow.
Oh, my God, the Snow God Tree has reappeared!
The only largest "big tree" on the meadow, standing at the bottom of the slope, is always a heroic and vigorous tree, and today it is a snow robe, a sculpture, and a sacred tree!
The moment I saw it, I bent down in surprise, couldn't help laughing, looked at the snow tree god and muttered: I saw it again!
And then hurry up and take pictures, hurry up and take pictures, I want to share them with my friends. I know that many friends like me are looking forward to the rare scene of three years ago every year, and I want to tell them that tomorrow will come soon, and the Snow God Tree will be there again. Then I looked up under the great canopy of trees, beautiful as angels with outstretched wings, and circled around it, and looked. The excitement was ecstatic, and the laughter kept going around the snow tree.
I shouted to my companion to come and take a picture of me. When my companion came, my first reaction was to blurt out "Ah, so beautiful!"
In the photo, I am so infatuated and affectionate looking at the snow tree god, and in the photo, I am so happy, excited that I dance like a child, and smile from ear to ear. Like an amorous woman, she snuggled up under the crown of the snow tree god, indulging in joy and happiness!
Thank God for arranging all this, so that the Snow God Tree can reappear after three years. And the scenes are all the same. Three years ago, it was only me and my companions in the whole team who saw it. It was also a foggy day and the snow was thicker than today, so everyone walked down the mountain to the meadow. My companion said it would be convenient to go down the opposite slope, so I waited for him in the middle of the meadow. He walked down the slope through the thick snow, and I couldn't see him anymore, leaving only a trail of deep footprints behind him.
Soon he appeared again at the bottom of the slope, and beckoned to me urgently, and I looked at him from afar, and I was surprised to see him, so he took a few more steps towards me, and cried out in a loud voice, "Come, come and see!" As if he had discovered something, he had to step on his feet. When I walked down the slope, I heard my companion shouting, "Look up!"
When I raised my head, I was stunned! In the vast snow, there was only one tree made of snow, and the sculpture-like figure was so beautiful that I couldn't breathe, and I wondered how there could be such a beautiful tree in the world! My companion and I became the first witnesses of this snow tree. I was excited, my companion was proud, and we really felt that today was a rare adventure.
When we left, the only trail left in the snow attracted more curious climbers. Everyone uploaded photos of the snow trees to the Internet, and the next day more people came to see the magic.
Today, the scene is the same, but the atmosphere is still the same. I came prepared, but the first thing I saw was unexpected. Although it is not as spectacular as it was three years ago, and the snow is much thinner, it is still shockingly beautiful and magical. My companion and I were the only viewers to see it today. The rest of the team didn't come here, which makes it even more rare and lucky.
I've been looking forward to it for three years, and finally I see it again. This may be in response to the sentence "never forget, there will be an echo", which moved the mountain god or tree god, and made the wish come true at the end of the lunar calendar. Looking at the snow tree, I really think I am lucky. At the same time, I really think that this tree that I have always loved is amazing. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a sacred snow tree again after three years!
After saying goodbye to the Snow God Tree with satisfaction, I was excited to jump when I returned to the middle of the white meadow, and I only wanted to laugh and laugh in this holy garden......
Leaving the meadow and crossing the watershed, the snow here became thicker and whiter than in the morning as the altitude increased, and all the vegetation was dressed in new white clothes, all in thick snow robes. The higher we went, the more we saw the tall rhododendron forest, as if we had set up a white flower roof on our heads, and the whole heaven and earth were white, as if we had entered a holy kingdom.
When I arrived at Chaotianchang, what I saw was silver flowers blooming in the snow, which was extremely enchanting. The low-branched purple rhododendron forest that grows close to the ground has all become ice-branched jade trees. When we crossed the sea of white flowers, there were bursts of ice crackling, just like laughter, which made us laugh, haha!
This kind of beauty starts from getting off the bus today to walking out of the forest from the watershed, and the mountains are full of snow trees and branches, and the fog is like flowers. We are laughing all the way, all the way to the ecstasy to complete this wonderful crossing! It is so beautiful that when everyone sits in the return car, they are still full of praise: so beautiful, it is so right to come today, what a lucky yo!
