438. The Inexplicable Siege (135+)
There is only one lookout point in Horseshoe Bend, but in terms of the magnitude of this point, it is difficult to find a second one in the world!
Because of its proximity to the Utah Plateau, the surrounding soil also contains a lot of iron and manganese, so when the sun is fierce, the land here shines a beautiful metallic red. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking down from the observation point, the Colorado River that cuts out of this bay is green, like an emerald belt, so that the red earth and the green river complement each other, and it is very pleasing to the eye in terms of color.
Also, this bay is very round and beautiful in shape. This bay is very deep and very large, full of momentum, Li Du stood at the observation point and looked down, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
He turned around and saw Da Ao standing in the distance, so he beckoned: "Come, come here and see, it's very cool." ”
Da Ao Gan smiled and shook his head: "No, I won't go, because I've seen it many times and don't want to watch it anymore." ”
"You're afraid of heights, don't you dare to look at it?" Ollie laughed.
"No, well, one thing, damn it, I can't tell you about it, maybe I do have a fear of heights." ”
Looking at his embarrassed face, Li Du couldn't help but laugh.
The surrounding tourists stayed away from them in fear, and in the eyes of the tourists, Da Ao's expression was extremely hideous at this time, and they were afraid that they would be kicked by him if they got closer.
Leaving Horseshoe Bend, the next step is Antelope Canyon.
Antelope Canyon is one of the world's most famous slot canyons and a famous photo spot, which is terrainically divided into two separate parts, called Upper Antelope Canyon and Lower Antelope Canyon.
They drove and couldn't enter the canyon, because the exit of the canyon was only more than one person wide, and it was impossible for the car to drive into it because of the torrents that usually gushed out from here.
Driving the car, Hans asked, "Would you like to go down and have a look?"
Li Du looked at the sky and said: "Forget it, we still have to go to Lake Powell, and we have to go to the Hopi village, continue to stay here, there will be not enough time." ”
Da Ao said: "Boss, I suggest you go down and have a look, it's beautiful, it's really beautiful." ”
Hans also said, "Yes, go down and see, especially as it will soon be noon, and the light in the canyon will vary greatly, but only for a short time at noon will the sun shine through a few gaps to the bottom of the valley." ”
Li Du had heard of Antelope Canyon, and when he came to the Pheasant School, some students from the school organized tours for them, including a visit to Antelope Canyon.
This canyon is one of the most beautiful canyons in North America, deep and not long, but deep underground along the mountain, which is extremely mysterious.
Like the soil around Horseshoe Bend, the land of Antelope Canyon is also red, but not because it is rich in iron and manganese, but because it is all red sandstone, which is naturally red.
Because of the frequent flash floods, the rocks in the valley are washed away by the torrents like a dream world, and it is called an underground paradise, but this paradise is not the territory of God, but the territory of the Indians.
To enter Antelope Canyon, an Indian guide needs to be hired, which is mandatory and regulated by the National Tourism Administration.
It is not that the local Indians are domineering, and it is not only for the needs of natural and cultural protection, but for the personal safety of tourists.
Because of the special topography of the canyon, once there is rain, the surrounding rain will wash into the canyon, so that the narrow paradise may instantly become a hell with rushing rapids and no possibility of escape!
Because they had to pay for the entrance fee and hire a tour guide, the other treasure pickers did not go, they either went there or were not interested, and they were not willing to spend this unjust money again.
Li Du took Godzilla into the canyon, they went to the Upper Antelope Canyon, the Lower Antelope Canyon is not open, it will not be open for nine months of the year, it is not easy to wait until it opens.
However, even when Lower Antelope Canyon is open, it is rarely entered by ordinary tourists.
Because this canyon is underground, you need to climb metal stairs to go underground, and you may need some ropes to walk through the way, which is very dangerous, and even Indians who want to make money do not encourage tourists to enter.
Due to the terrain restrictions, Li Du and his car parked two kilometers away from the entrance of the canyon and walked over.
The passage is a sand road, very delicate, and it is strange and comfortable to step on it, but Li Du is a little uneasy, this kind of sand road is easily reminiscent of quicksand.
Enter the canyon entrance, pay for tickets, hire a guide, and then the two are assigned to a large four-wheel drive vehicle.
"You have to take this car in the back, you are not allowed to go down, you are not allowed to walk. The Indian guide said very seriously.
Li Du was stunned for a moment and asked, "Can't even walk?"
"There are places where the temperature is high, and the sun shines on the red rocks, which eventually reflects to several points, and if you accidentally walk past, you will get burned," the guide explained. ”
Li Du suddenly realized, since this is the case, don't show your personality, stay in the car honestly.
When a car of tourists arrived, the tour guide clapped his hands and said: "Everyone keep their belongings and be sure to load them, otherwise the car will fall during the drive, and we will not have a chance to go down to pick it up." ”
As the tourists began to check their belongings, Li Du remembered that there were two feathers in his pocket, which symbolized the friendship of the Hopi tribe, and took them out to change into his trouser pocket and keep them carefully.
As soon as he took out his feathers, the Indian guide suddenly pointed at him and screamed, shouting two words at him in the tribal language, with a fierce expression.
Li Du didn't understand what he meant, thinking that the other party questioned the way he obtained the two feathers, so he explained: "This is the ...... we got through friendship"
As soon as he heard this, the Indian guide's expression became even more fierce, and he shouted, and several Indians who were maintaining law and order around him also rushed over, and their expressions were also very vicious.
The tourists in the car were frightened, they didn't know what was going on, and couldn't help but shout:
"What's going on? What's going on? What do they want to do?"
"What are these Indians shouting? Are they trying to kidnap us?"
"Call the police! Su Yun is almost behind me, I will protect you!"
Seeing the bad intentions of these Indians, Godzilla stood up and clenched his fists, and his expression became equally fierce and angry.
Li Du was also very angry, these people were coming for him, but he didn't do anything, what did they mean?
I don't know if it was Godzilla's size that frightened these Indians or if they wanted to value peace in business, although several people had hideous expressions, they didn't do anything to them, just surrounded the two.
At this time, the tour guide took out the walkie-talkie and shouted in the tribal language, Li Du didn't know what was going on, so he also took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Hans and said: "I don't know why, these Indians suddenly want to attack us." ”
Hans was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Don't do it, slow down, I know what's going on, I'm coming!"
