Section 17 The most beautiful Daocheng Aden, the most beautiful encounter
We stayed at the Pumeike Art Hotel next to the Daocheng Yading Scenic Area, which is more than ten minutes' walk away from the gate of the scenic spot. It was raining heavily when I came from the cabaret show last night, and it was past nine o'clock. Therefore, I did not see what exactly the place I lived in.
It was only when I walked out of the hotel at seven o'clock in the morning that I was able to see the whole picture. It turns out that the town is all large hotels, and the appearance looks very luxurious, the hotel we stayed in is very high-grade inside and out, and the fame of Daocheng Aden is very high. It doesn't look like a town, maybe it was a tourist reception center.
It turned out that I was worried about today's weather. What I saw now was the same sunny day as the previous days. Although the sun is blocked by the mountain, the top of the mountain is blue sky and white clouds, and clouds and mist are swirling around the mountainside. Seeing this, I am in a good mood!
On the way here, the tour guide said every day that it was raining heavily in Daocheng Yading, and I wanted to cover my ears when I heard it. Because what she said is really not good news for me, who has been climbing mountains all year round. Experience has taught me that the beauty of the mountains can only be seen on a sunny day.
At half past seven, we entered the gate of Daocheng Yading Scenic Area. Seeing the four golden characters of "Daocheng Yading", I was still very excited, I finally arrived.
Take the shuttle bus in the scenic area and go all the way up the mountain. The scenery along the way is charming, and the people in the car are staring out the window and exclaiming: It's so beautiful.
We saw the peaks of a snow-capped mountain disappear in the sky, like a dream. It's just that it's still unclear, which of the three sacred mountains we saw in the car in Daocheng Aden?
The bus coiled up to the top of the hill and then down through the village of Aden and then went up again. When I saw the three big green characters of "Aden Village" grown from grass, my heart was pounding. Although I didn't stop and walked into the village, I was content to see the whole picture after passing through this place.
After arriving at the visitor center in the mountain, get off the bus and walk the boardwalk. As I walked forward, I saw a snow-capped mountain on my right. This snow-capped mountain is different from the one we saw in the car, and it should be another of the three sacred mountains (Xia Nuo Dorjee). The snow-capped mountains are so beautiful that visitors stop to take pictures and praise them.
It was here that I found out that I didn't have altitude sickness today! In fact, when I woke up in the morning, I found that I didn't feel the symptoms of high reaction in the previous three days. At the time, I thought it was the reason for last night's rest, but I didn't have it for the time being. However, more than an hour later, I came to an altitude of more than 4,000 people, and I walked such a long distance, and there was still no high reaction, which really surprised me. I thought about it later, maybe there would be.
It really makes me happy to have such a good start today. I must have been well prepared and brought two bottles of oxygen. That's it, I told my companion last night that if my high reaction is serious, she will go to the milk sea by herself. It's not easy for us to come once, she has no regrets when she rushes to the top, and I have no regrets if I don't go up halfway. However, it is really a bit "flattering" to be in such a relaxed state now.
The body is good, everything is fine, and the mood is happy and cheerful. We changed to a battery car, and after more than ten minutes, we arrived at the Luorong Cattle Farm Service Center and began to hike towards the milk sea.
From the bus point, less than 100 meters is the Luorong cattle farm.
As far as the eye can see, the water and grass on the Luorong cattle farm are fertile, the flowers are like weaving, the river is like a jade belt tied to the flower and grassland, the surrounding snow-capped mountains are full of smoke, and the snow water on the mountain flows down like juice from the slopes, which is also the source of the river on the grassland. The whole Luorong Cattle Farm is as beautiful as a large garden in a cornucopia.
Just walk on the plank road, the grass in front of you is full of flowers, the flowers are delicate, the grass is not very long, but dense and flat, the flowers bloom in it like a smiling face, beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Looking at the green grassland in the distance, it is a bright yellow flower, like rape flowers, golden like rape flowers, by the shallow river, divided into a sea of flowers, at this time a sea of yellow flowers, such as blooming on the shallow water, is really beautiful!
There are still a few foals grazing in the pasture, and the plank road is full of people. At this moment, Luorong Cattle Farm is a fairyland on earth.
I really didn't expect the velvet cow farm to be so beautiful. I really marvel at the wonder of nature. Surrounded by high mountains, there is such a large area of flat pasture. And it's so beautiful! It's so beautiful that it makes me think it's a pity to use it as a cattle farm, or the herdsmen and cattle who graze and grow here are so happy, it's like being in a fairyland! Then we are in a fairyland, and we can only laugh when we wander in it.
Two
As soon as we left the Laurong Cattle Farm and walked to the dirt road leading to the Milk Sea Mountain, the rain began to fall without warning. We also came prepared, put up our umbrellas and continued walking.
It is marked five kilometers from Luorong Cattle Farm to Milk Sea. From here, it was all gravel roads, and it was from here that there were caravans. The gravel road is very wide, and the herdsmen can lead the horses up the mountain, and the herdsmen have both men and women, most of whom are young and middle-aged. The cost was 500 yuan, so I naturally chose to walk forward. I've been climbing mountains for 10 years, so it's easy for me to walk on such a trail without a high backlash. At this time, the altitude was already above 4,200 meters, and there was still no alpine sickness, so I was secretly happy.
The way up the mountain was surprisingly easy for me and my companions, and although it rained heavily, there was little mud. This is due to the fact that heavy rains often wash away the surface of the mountain road almost entirely with sand and gravel. More sections of the road are wooden plank paths. We don't have a high back, so the hill climb is easy.
Before the rain, we used a pair of sticks (I brought my own trekking poles, and rented one at the hotel for safety reasons), and we walked up with an umbrella in one hand and a cane in the other.
The scenery along the way is very beautiful, the surrounding mountains are foggy, the clouds are full of smoke, the vegetation on the hillside is dense and green, the flowers bathed in the rain are more colorful, and the grass leaves are shiny, which makes us pause to look up at the mountain peaks picturesquely, and sometimes walk into the grass to shoot the beautiful mountain flowers.
My companions and I were playing and walking, and we didn't think about rushing, let alone worrying that we wouldn't be able to walk. We're both in great shape. The altitude is 4500 meters, and there is no discomfort yet. It's kind of amazing. So much so that it makes me feel a little unreal. I couldn't help but tell my companion why I didn't have a high reaction today? My companion also looked puzzled and said, "That's right, it's really strange, why don't I have a high reaction at all." However, you can't be happy too early, maybe there will be a high reaction later. ”
I think the same way, it's normal to have a high reaction. Before, at the altitude of more than 3,800 meters, I started to get high, and I had eye pain and headache for three days. Now it hasn't, thank God forbid. Of course, scientifically analyzed, it may be that I have been on the plateau for four days and adapted to the high altitude. However, I still believe that it is God's blessing.
Plus, there's a reason why we're walking so slowly. Although this reason has not been spoken, they understand it very well in each other's hearts. It's because it's been raining heavily. The two of us, who have been climbing the mountain for many years, know very well that if it is still cloudy and rainy when we arrive at the sea of milk, there will be no scenery to see in the mountains and seas.
So we're waiting for the rain to stop. It was raining heavily from the moment I left the farm, and I didn't worry about it at all, believing that the rain would stop. We enter the scenic area is blue sky and white clouds. It is presumed that it is now a cloud and rain after the altitude is high.
However, when the heavy rain did not stop for more than an hour, I began to care, repeatedly suggesting to myself that the heavy rain would definitely stop. As we reached the top of the mountain, it had been raining heavily for an hour and a half, and I was starting to get restless. I repeatedly said in my heart: Why did I encounter such weather today? I have been longing for Daocheng Aden for a long time, and I still came here knowing that there was a high reaction. Besides, I haven't had a high reaction until now, but why does it rain so much?
However, I kept telling my companions: the rain will definitely stop. We had good luck. The companion cheerfully said, "That's for sure!"
Two hours later, we climbed to the top of the mountain, and the rain did not stop. It rained heavily and foggy on the mountain, and it was chaotic. On the way up, I met people coming down the mountain, and they all said that the rain was too heavy and the scenery was not good. Seeing this, I felt a little unkind and said to my companions: The rain will definitely stop! We have not done anything bad, and we will not be so unlucky.
The companion glanced at the top of the mountain in the thick fog and whispered, "Let's stop."
There are two paths on the hillside, one that continues gently forward and then uphill, and the other that climbs directly, and the route forms a triangle on the hillside. There are a lot of tourists on both roads. I chose to go straight to the top of the mountain. I had just walked a dozen steps, and I met a few people coming down, and one of the men said, "The slope is steep here, and the height is too high, you should go to the Milk Sea first, and then go to the Five Colors Sea from there, and it will be much easier to go down the mountain from here." ”
When I heard this, I asked strangely: Isn't there a sea of milk on the top of this mountain?
As he walked, he said, "No, it's a five-colored sea up here, and it's a sea of milk a little lower over there." I was stunned to hear this. I only know about the sea of milk, and I don't know that there is a sea of colors on it. At the same time, I am also very grateful for his guidance, so that I did not miss the most beautiful scenery. Kudos to the good guys. That's an afterword.
I stepped back and told my companion who was walking behind that I was going to the sea of milk from that side.
After walking for less than five minutes, I saw a lot of people stopping in the distance, speculating that it might be the sea of milk. But now that the rain is still so heavy, the mood is completely bad. I don't want to get close to the long-awaited sea of milk.
At this time, it was raining and windy on the mountain, and I felt that it was cold. We stopped to add a windbreaker over a down jacket. During the process, I finally couldn't hold back, and said in frustration: I have never encountered a weather that cannot see the expected scenery when I go out, and the rain will definitely stop!
The companion looked at the crowd not far away, and this time did not respond cheerfully.
Moving on, my companion and I walked almost slowly, more slowly. It was as if we had to complete the task, without the usual rush to reach our destination.
After walking for more than two minutes, we could also see the rough outline of the sea of milk in the rain, and at the same time felt that the raindrops were obviously thin. It didn't make me happy either. Because the sky is still cloudy, the lake should be the color of the sky.
At one o'clock in the afternoon (that is, more than five minutes after we got dressed), we came to the long-awaited milk sea. Yingmaiyong Snow Mountain, which can be seen in Luorong Cattle Farm, exists like a black shadow in the gray sky. The sea of milk we see, in the place close to us, is so shallow that we can see the clear water of yellow-gray sand and stone, and the water surface at the foot of the mountain in the distance is darker and gray-white, and the water surface is clean and nothing.
In short, the sea of milk at the moment is an ordinary pool in the mountains. The mountains next to the "pool" are black and swarthy with almost no vegetation, and are as lifeless as scorched earth. The mountain peaks are piled up with snow that is not white, and I have always regarded it as white sand and gravel, and the snow that comes down from the top of the mountain, and it is not clear whether it is ice or a thin stream of water that is flowing, and there is no "milk" at all.
Seeing this, the companion blurted out with a disappointed face: Is this the sea of milk?
I couldn't see my own expression, but I knew that my expression was more complex than hers. Because in addition to my disappointment, I also had my companion's words that made me feel a little guilty, and it felt like I brought her in and told her how good the milk sea was, only to see the opposite.
At this time, I suddenly noticed the reflection of sunlight on my red clothes, and hurriedly pointed it out to my companion. She glanced at my dress, then looked up at the sky and said nothing. Seeing this, I also looked up at the sky, and the dazzling light was clearly felt in the dripping sky.
For this, I excitedly told my companion that the rain was stopping.
In an instant, the rain really stopped. That is, more than three minutes after we arrived at the sea of milk, the rain stopped abruptly. We walked in the heavy rain for more than two hours, and just arrived at the milk sea, and it was lucky that the rain stopped. Therefore, my companion and I played happily, and we laughed happily as we stirred up the holy water. At this time, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the sea of milk that was the same color as the gray sky, and we had to let the sea of milk see our best. For this reason, we posed as much as we could.
However, we never imagined that a bigger surprise awaited us. That is, less than 20 minutes after we arrived at the sea of milk, the sky cleared the clouds and the sun came out!
Everyone immediately cheered and laughed. The Milk Beach has become a paradise of joy!
I saw that the rays of the sun at noon reached the surface of the water, as if ten thousand rays of light were shooting out of the lake. The sun illuminates the lake, dyeing it a brilliant green like an emerald jewel. The sun shines on the snow-capped mountains around the lake, illuminating the snow-covered patches of snow, and the hard ice and snow on the sacred mountain for a long time, some of the wind erosion and rain have become like long white wings, and the wings are clear and three-dimensional, clinging to the slopes, becoming the snow wings of the sacred mountain. There is also a large fish made of ice and snow, with a long beard, shaped like a dolphin, with a realistic expression, as if it is about to jump into the holy lake at any moment. More are the ice and snow on the slopes of the "Emerald" lake, thick and thin, deep and shallow, forming geometric bodies of different shapes, and the patterns on them have the same dynamic, which is the pattern formed by the dissolution of snow water, making the snow on the top of the mountain as vivid as many snow elves who have lived for a long time.
At this moment, the snow elves on the hillside saw that the sun had come out, and they were all reflected in the sea of green and jade milk, as if they were looking in a mirror. So, the emerald on the mountain is full of exquisite snow elves. There is also a vivid "snow wolf head", looking at us magically in the lake, and the yellow and green grass on the hillside is also reflected in it, making the milk sea colorful, brilliant and bright, and the beauty is amazing! "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!" in the southern and northern tones, exclamations and admiration are endless.
Everyone was smiling and happy, and laughter came and went.
I was even more overjoyed, pointing to the beautiful patterns in the lake and laughing over and over again, dancing again and again to express my ecstasy, and I couldn't help but cheer: The sea of milk is so beautiful, so amazing! We are so lucky!
Just as my companion was taking pictures of me, I suddenly saw a beautiful snow-capped mountain top in the eastern sky, flashing out in the white clouds. I saw the white clouds flying on the top of the mountain, and the snow peak flashed five times in an instant as if it was struggling to break free, which was really magnificent! It should be the Xiannai Rishen Mountain.
So far, I have been fortunate to see the three sacred mountains in Daocheng Aden. It was only a few seconds, but I didn't miss it, and I was the luckiest.
Seeing the wonderful sea of milk, I felt lucky when I thought about the heavy rain before. Over and over again, I thank God for this wonderful encounter, a wonderful time!
Two hours have passed, the sun is obscured by thin clouds again, and we are going to the sea of five colors. When I left, I didn't give up, but left contentedly. But I must speak what is in my heart. So, I waved goodbye to the sea of milk and said loudly: goodbye to the sea of milk, thank God for the gift of letting me see such a beautiful and wonderful sea of milk, and make my trip a complete and wonderful one. For this reason, I must continue to be a good person, and always be a good person, until the end of my life. Only in this way can we live up to God's love and favor.
It's amazing. As we were packing and preparing to leave, it was overcast again, and soon a light rain fell. At this moment, a young father and daughter walked to the beach of milk, and the little girl said, "The sea of milk doesn't look good." ”
I hurriedly walked over to tell the elementary school student that it was too late, and asked her to see the photos and videos of the sea of milk I had just taken on my phone. The child took a look at it and said loudly with envy: "Oh, it's so beautiful! Auntie, can you send me the photo?" Her father also said: "We are late, we didn't see such a beautiful sea of milk, please add my daughter's WeChat and send it to her to see." "I said of course. At that time, because there was no signal, I asked them to take a picture of my 2D, and then I added it when there was a signal. Father and daughter repeatedly said to me, "You are so good, thank you." ”
This reminds me of the good guy I met earlier who asked me to come to the milk sea first. It was because of his guidance that I did not miss this beautiful scenery. Otherwise, I would probably be on my way to the mountain when the rain stops. The little girl arrived five minutes late and didn't see the beautiful sea of milk. And those who went to the sea of milk before and after us, did not see it. Because of the heavy rain, it fell for more than two hours as we went down the mountain.
This scene made me feel even more fortunate how lucky I was. I was doubly grateful, telling myself over and over again that I must always be a good person and live up to God's favor. Only in this way can I express my gratitude and cherish every luck!
This should be what I said over and over again on the shore of the milk sea. Because, these two hours are really a magical encounter.
It was raining heavily. We waved goodbye to the sea of milk with joy and walked up a steep slope to the top of the five-colored sea.
In the rain, I went up to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 4,800 meters, and I saw the blue-green five-colored sea, the sea water is clear, showing fantastic colors, and I can clearly see the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake blooming like flowers, and the snow on the hillside is close to the lake, which is very beautiful. Maybe it was because it was cloudy and rainy, or maybe the sea of milk we just saw was too shocking, so my companion and I didn't stop here for too long, and we didn't go down to the lake to play, but we just admired it from a high place.
Of course, this is also the best angle to enjoy the mountain lakes on a rainy day. Condescendingly, the lake is the most beautiful from a distance. Therefore, we can also see the most beautiful five-colored sea today.
At this point, my trip to Daocheng Aden was complete!
