Section 261: Beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain
Our group in the autumn is high and cool, sunny autumn time, rushing to the direction of Cangshan, because the famous butterfly spring is at the foot of the first peak of Cangshan Yunlong Peak, as the saying goes, the wise man is happy with water, the benevolent person is happy with the mountain, and there are mountains and water here, let us feel so comfortable, Cangshan is the main peak at the southern end of the Yunling Mountain Range, composed of nineteen peaks from north to south, from Eryuan Dengchuan in the north, to Xiaguan Tiansheng Bridge in the south.
The nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain are majestic and majestic, forming a strong contrast with the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake. Its peaks from north to south are: Yunlong, Canglang, Wutai, Lotus, Baiyun, Heyun, Sanyang, Lanfeng, Snowman, Yingle, Guanyin, Zhonghe, Longquan, Yuju, Malong, Shengying, Buddha's Peak, Ma'er, Xieyang.
Duan Gongzi last night had tirelessly to the night of the dark Cangshan to me to depict a look, today I see, suddenly a sense of familiarity, those towering, endless, posture, towering, straight into the sky, reckless and firm, the majestic peaks appear in front of me so abruptly, let people suddenly have a kind of unattainable, shuddering feeling, these peaks, the altitude is generally above 3500 meters, there are seven peaks up to 4000 meters above sea level, the highest Malone Peak is 4122 meters above sea level, saga high, majestic and magnificent, such as the dragon swimming, continuous hundreds of miles, magnificent, Cangshan 19 peaks are like a flying horse in general, shaking their dark wings, overcoming thorns and thorns, traveling north and south, thousands of miles long.
The snow on it is even more perennial, white snow, silver makeup wrapped in a hundred miles, piled up of silver and jade, like a jade crown worn on those peaks, shining in the warm autumn sun, shining, really
"The southwest is majestic, dotting the canopy of mountains". And the nineteen peaks of Cangshan are smart and dreamy, because there is a gurgling flow between every two peaks, and the rushing stream rushes down from the high snow-capped mountains and flows into the Erhai Lake, I faintly, from time to time from the mountains and mountains, between the clouds and the clouds, I see the white twisting and winding lines, presumably those are the famous eighteen streams that Duan Gongzi said - Xiayi, Wanhua, Yangxi, Mangyong, Jinxi, Lingquan, Baishi, Shuangyuan, Yinxian, Meixi, Taoxi, Zhongxi, Green Jade, Longxi, Qingbi, Mo Remnant, Yaoming, Yangnan.
Specially muttering to himself on the side of Cangshan, chanting and singing, the water of Cangshan is always interspersed with changes in the main color of Cangshan emerald green and the secondary color of colorful dreams, complementing each other, watching each other, never abandoning, dynamic and lively, endless changes, meandering and rushing, flying flowers and emeralds, smart and clear, different personalities, thousands of postures, and thousands of styles.
If there were no such gurgling and flowing water, there would be no soul of the endless rushing mountains.
Without the nourishment of this abundant and warm water, Cangshan would lose most of its poetic and picturesque meaning.
The spring water of Cangshan is also famous. According to Duan Gongzi, in addition to the 18 long-flowing streams, on the top of Cangshan Mountain above 3,800 meters above sea level, there are many alpine moraine lakes, which are the traces left by the Quaternary Ice Age, among which the famous ones are Xima Pond, Yellow Dragon Pond, Black Dragon Pond, etc., the pool water is clear, and the spring water that pours out is even clearer and unusual, green and bright.
In the Cangshan group of streams, Qingbi Creek and Seven Dragon Female Pond are famous, and there are many exquisite descriptions of ancient and modern Sao people, but unfortunately the time is urgent, and they can't go one by one.
But we are particularly lucky, after a night rain last night, in front of the green and charming mountain of Cangshan, we were lucky to see a milky white long light and thin cloud belt entwined in it, graceful and colorful, unpredictable with the wind drifting, like the beautiful jade belt that dwells in Cangshan, the clouds are scattered, we feast our eyes on the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain, Yu'er scenery, vertical and horizontal green fields, looking at the wisps of smoke rising between the villages with white walls and green tiles, listening to the barking of those ordinary chickens and dogs, listening to the pine waves blown by the autumn breeze one after another, I can't help but be fascinated, relaxed, intoxicated, dreamlike, lingering, the scenery is charmingToo many beautiful things.
Because there are many kinds of vegetation on Cangshan, up to more than 6,000 kinds, among the fragrant trees and flowers of Cangshan, we are like coming to the fairy-like Penglai fairyland, like a dream.
There are many and messy, rich and colorful plant species make us dizzy, jaw-dropping, there are swaying broad-leaved forests, tall and majestic fir, dense pine forests and oak forest belts, high and low fir mixed wood belts, the layers are distinct, the changes are different, and the patchwork is caused.
Cangshan fir named after Cangshan, with its beautiful posture and temperament that is not afraid of wind and snow, stands majestically on the cliff, is the southernmost tree species of the Chinese fir genus in geographical location, and is also a kind of alpine landscape plant unique to China, known as
"Gentleman in the Tree". In the autumn time, those dense, scattered and distributed between the Cangshan colorful and different forms of flowers like bursts of brilliant burning flames, so colorful, eye-catching, thousands of rhododendron forests let us breathtaking, but also let us hook the soul, the soul is haunted by those fairy-like swaying posture, the beautiful Cangshan rhododendron, the forest is dyed, each shows the fragrance, because of the Cangshan flowers, there are many varieties.
Yunnan's eight famous flowers - camellia, azalea, magnolia, primrose, lily, gentian, orchid, green velvet artemisia, can be found casually.
And there are many kinds, innumerable, there are 41 kinds of rhododendron varieties alone, from the foot of the mountain to the snowy area of 4100 meters above sea level, layer upon layer, into a cluster of pieces, high and low, each has different, the form is different, the posture is thousands, the plant height reaches more than 15 meters, it is a big tree, the dwarf is only ten centimeters, it is creeping and is born on the ground, the shape of the carpet-like landscape flower is more varied, the flower color has 16 different colors such as red, white, yellow, purple, rose, etc.
In this sea of flowers, some are unique to Cangshan, such as the amiable rhododendron, the blue-fruited rhododendron, and some are named after Dali, such as the Dali azalea, Dali glandular calyx rhododendron.
The largest foliage species in the world, the Rhododendron convex rhododendron, grows on the Cangshan Mountain. Cangshan, can be deservedly called the natural rhododendron garden, now they are in full bloom, bright flame-like red and bright vigorous Yingshan red, clean as snow, crystal clear big white flower rhododendron, and milky yellow as warm as the autumn sun, the dense branches will also conspicuously peek out of the purple rhododendron, as well as the tall branches that make people can only look at it from afar, can not play close graceful and luxurious bubble leaf rhododendron, the posture is thousands, each is different.
There are also those unknown mountain flowers and fragrant weeds that emit a refreshing fragrance, which are not far behind.
We walked in the dense vegetation under the warm autumn sun, occasionally heard the long autumn grass in the depths of the sound of a small chatter, panicked, when the sword was drawn and asked, I thought it was a poisonous snake and beast, but I didn't want to be reckless, shrunk out of a few naughty and lovely rock sheep, honest mountain donkeys, cunning foxes, or pheasants jumping around, and occasionally a few rare animals came out - strange and strange four dislikes, so that we were relieved and couldn't help laughing, dumbfounded.
In this way, we walked with great interest in the vast and reckless, endless mountains.
