Chapter 366: Alps, Eternal Beauty

However, there is one thing that Ye Chao has done without conscience - he actually took these eighty school beauties to climb the Alps!

The Alps are a world-famous scenic spot and tourist destination, and are known as "Nature's Palace" and "True Landscape Pavilion". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is also a mecca for snow sports and a paradise for adventurers.

Mountain glaciers present a polar scenery and are a popular destination for mountaineering, skiing, and tourism. Many lakes are formed by glaciation in the Alps. The largest lake, Lake Léman, is also Lake Canton Four, Lake Zurich, Lake Constance, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. The beautiful Lake District is a tourist attraction.

The Western and Central Alps are beautiful, with modern hotels, ski slopes and chairlifts.

Winter skiing attracts a large number of tourists. There are many villages and towns between the foothills and valleys, with beautiful mountains and rivers and elegant environment, and a large number of tourists come here every year.

In addition, the Alps are also a must-stop for the annual Tour de France, and a large number of tourists are attracted by these two golden signs every year to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Alps while watching the Tour de France live and cheering on the athletes on the side of the road.

The Alps are arc-shaped, 1,200 kilometers long, 130 kilometers wide-260 kilometers, with an average altitude of about 3,000 meters and a total area of about 220,000 square kilometers.

Among them, 82 peaks exceed 4,000 meters above sea level, the highest peak is Mont Blanc at 4,810 meters above sea level, located on the border of France, Italy and Switzerland.

Situated between temperate and subtropical latitudes, the Alps are the dividing line between the temperate continental humid climate of Central Europe and the subtropical summer dry climate of southern Europe.

The peak is cold all year round, with an average annual temperature of O°C at an altitude of 2,000 meters. The annual precipitation in mountainous areas is generally 1200~2000 mm, but it varies from place to place. The maximum precipitation zone is about 3,000 meters above sea level. The annual precipitation in the alpine mountains is more than 2,500 mm, and in the leeward slopes of the mountain valleys it is only 750 mm.

The Alps are the largest mountain range in Europe and a huge watershed, from which many of Europe's great rivers such as the Danube, the Rhine, the Po and the Rhône originate. The upper reaches of each river have the characteristics of typical mountain rivers, with turbulent water flow and abundant hydraulic resources.

The Western Alps, stretching north from the coast, through southeastern France and northwestern Italy, reach Lake Geneva and the Rhône valley in Switzerland.

Mountains are formed by low-lying dry limestone in the Coastal Alps near the Mediterranean, deep gullies in the Véldon Gorge in France, crystalline peaks in the Mercantour Massif, and glacier-shrouded hills (4,807 m [15,771 ft], the highest peak in the Alps).

The Middle Alps stretch from the Great St. Bernard Pass east of Mont Blanc on the border of France, Italy and Switzerland to the Splugen Pass north of Lake Como.

Most of the peaks in the Alps above 4,000 m are located in this section, such as Dufourspitze (4,634 m), Dom (4,545 m), Weisshorn (4,505 m), Matterhorn (4,478 m), etc.

The Eastern Alps include the Latische Mountains in Switzerland, the Dolomites in Italy, the Bavarian Alps in southern Germany and western Austria, and the Julian Alps in northeastern Italy and northern Slovenia.

Within the Alps, the heights and morphologies vary greatly: there are low-lying pre-Alpine folded sediments around the main mountain range, and there are inner Alpine crystalline massifs. From the Mediterranean to Vienna, the Alps can be divided into western, middle and eastern sections, each with several different small mountain ranges.

The glaciation has altered the natural environment: the climate in the valleys is much milder than in the surrounding heights, and it is easier for humans to establish settlements in the mountains, and the soil is more fertile due to the deposition of moraines. In modern times, severe glacial erosion continues. In the Alps, there are still more than 1,000 square miles of glaciers.

The Alps stretch for 1,200 kilometers from east to west, about 120~200 kilometers wide from north to south, wide from east to west and narrow from west to west, with an average altitude of about 3,000 meters, and a total of 82 peaks with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, more than half of which are located in the canton of Valais, Switzerland.

There are also more than 1,000 modern glaciers in the Alps, covering a total area of 3,600 square kilometres.

At 4,810 meters above sea level, Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the Alps, located at the junction of Haute-Savoie in France and Valle d'Aosta in Italy, it is the highest peak in Western Europe, first ascent in 1786 by Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard.

At 4,478 meters above sea level, the Matterhorn is the most famous mountain in the Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, near the Swiss town of Zermatt in Valais and the Italian town of Breuil-Cervinia in the Yaosta Valley.

The name of the Matterhorn is composed of the German words "Matt" (meaning valley, meadow) and "horn" (meaning the peak is cone-shaped like a horn) and was founded on July 15, 1865 by Edward Whymper and Michel Auguste Croz under the leadership of local father and son guides Peter Taugwalder the Great and Peter Taugwalder the Younger in Zermatt by the famous Horry ridge (H?). rnligrat) made it to the top, but in the end, only father and son Edward Whymper and Taugwalder managed to make the descent, and the others were killed.

2015 marks the 150th anniversary of the summit of the Matterhorn, and from July to August 2015 there is a spectacular celebration of lighting up the Matterhorn along the Horry Ridge from 9 to 9:30 p.m. every night.

The Alps provide drinking water, irrigation and hydroelectric power to Europe. Although it occupies only 11 percent of Europe, it provides more than 90 percent of Europe's water supply, especially in arid areas and in summer.

Cities such as Milan rely on the Alps for 80 percent of their water.

There are more than 500 hydropower plants in the river basin, generating 2,900 kilowatts of electricity. Other rivers, such as the Danube, also have their main tributaries originating in the Alps.

The Rhône is the second largest source of water in the Mediterranean, after the Nile, and the melting glaciers turn into the Rhône, which flows into Lake Geneva and then flows to France, where it is used to cool nuclear power plants.

The Rhine originates in a 30-square-kilometre area of Switzerland, which accounts for about 60 percent of Switzerland's water output. Situated between temperate and subtropical latitudes, the Alps are the dividing line between the temperate continental humid climate of Central Europe and the subtropical summer dry climate of southern Europe.

At the same time, it itself has the characteristics of a mountainous vertical climate. The vegetation in the Alps varies significantly vertically. It can be divided into subtropical evergreen sclerophyll forest belt (below 800 meters on the southern slope of the mountain range), forest belt (800~1800 meters), mixed forest in the lower part and coniferous forest in the upper part, alpine meadow belt above the forest belt, and bare rocks and snow-capped peaks in the upper part.

There are several flora zones in the Alps, reflecting the differences in their altitude and climate. On the valley floor and on the low slopes there are a variety of deciduous trees, among which linden, oak, beech, aspen, elm, chestnut, rowan, birch, Norway maple and so on.

The higher woods are dominated by conifers, with spruce, larch and other pine trees being the main species. In most parts of the Western Alps, spruce-dominated forests reach up to 2,195 m (7,200 ft) above sea level.

Larch is resistant to cold, drought and high winds, and can grow at altitudes up to 2,500 m (8,200 ft) above sea level, with spruce mixed at lower altitudes. The area about 914 m (3,000 ft) wide below the permanent snow line and above the tree line is an area eroded by glaciation, covered with lush meadows with cattle and sheep grazing during the short midsummer.

These distinctive meadows – known as "alpages" (alpine summer pastures), from which the Alps and the Florea Belt are derived – are located above the main, transverse valleys.

In the southern foothills of the coastal Alps and the southern Italian Alps, there are mainly Mediterranean plants, including sea pine, palm, sparse woodlands and agave, and there are also many cactus.

The Alps also have a wide range of animal species, such as antelope, lynx, wolf, red deer, golden eagle, otter and other animals have adapted to the mountain environment, although the bear has disappeared in some areas, but the ibex (which, like the antelope, is extremely agile) has been rescued by the Italian Royal Game Reserve.

Marmots overwinter in underground passages. Mountain hares and ptarmigan (a species of grouse) turn white (protective color) in winter. In the middle of some small mountain ranges, there are several national parks where local animals are protected.

There are some larger lakes on the Swiss-Italian border, from the area of the Great St. Bernard Pass east of Mont Blanc to the area of the Splugen Pass north of Lake Como.

To the south are Lake Como and Lake Maggiore (part of the Po drainage system) and to the north are lakes Thun, Brienz and Lucerne.

In the early days in the Alps and other mountains, there were some kind of mountain gods who took the form of large rocks, stones, water sources, caves, and trees.

What has survived to this day is the procession and worship of the Guardian of God by the inhabitants of the Alps. The small church (Ziteil) of Graubünden is worshipped twice a year and is located at an altitude of 2,433 meters above sea level, making it the highest shrine in Europe.

Near-naturalistic religions believe that mountains have gods, and that the gods reside in the uninhabited peaks, because it is where heaven and earth meet. In the Alps, on the other hand, their legends come from folklore, and the characters in the legends are small savages or idealized herdsmen and women, who are rewarded when they do good deeds and punished when they do bad.

The beautiful Alps are certainly not for everyone.

Ye Chao took eighty beauties and went up in a mighty way, just to climb some places that made them within their reach, enjoy the snow, and taste the wine and food.

That's right, you can also bring delicious food with you on the mountain, but it's just snacks mostly.

Ye Chao's ability to keep them all safe, which made these beauties very excited.

They didn't know why they somehow followed this devilish man, but they felt that there was an inexplicable attraction in him.

But it is inconceivable that so many women follow a man together without quarrels and fights.

And, the most unimaginable thing is that they don't even mind sharing a man.

The beautiful Alps are made even more beautiful by the presence of so many beautiful women. Of course, no one who comes to this mountain is here to climb the mountain, and there are really not so many mountaineering enthusiasts in the world.

A lot of people are here to play.

Seeing Ye Chao with so many beauties, there are a lot of people who are red-eyed, and there are many people who want to flirt, but none of them succeed, and they will encounter a lot of bad luck inexplicably. Either he was buried in the snow, or he didn't like others, or others didn't like him and got into a few fights, and he couldn't get into a fight......

This is the magic of the heart, which hurts people invisibly and controls people without a trace......
