Chapter 33: The Great Glacier Falls
Since this trip changed from one person to two people, Xiaomei's sense of existence has been greatly reduced, and many times she is like a fart, silently following behind Ning Hao.
In this regard, Ning Hao was also very unhappy, so he handed over the task of posting beautiful photos on Weibo to Xiaomei, and asked her to post all the beautiful scenery captured by the camera on Weibo, and the text could be matched by her casually.
In this way, he doesn't have to worry about posting on Weibo, and Xiaomei doesn't have to hang around all day.
After settling this matter, today's trip officially began.
The gate of Hailuogou Scenic Area is not far from the hotel where they stay, and it can be reached by walking for more than ten minutes, so after having breakfast at the hotel, the two walked directly to the scenic spot.
Visit the Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park scenic spot must take the bus in the park, the two bought tickets and bus tickets after boarding the bus, the car started quickly, all the way is a winding road with a big curve.
After driving around the winding mountain road for a long time, just when Ning Hao was about to vomit, the car finally stopped in the parking lot of Camp No. 3.
Hailuogou Glacier Forest Park is divided into four camps, No. 1 and No. 2 camps are mainly accommodation and hot springs, and the scenery is not as good as the primeval forest of No. 3 camp, so there is no need to visit.
The real highlight is Camp 4, which can only be reached by cable car at Camp 3, and only at Camp 4 can you see the spectacular glacier up close and, if you're lucky, get a glimpse of the main peak of Gonggar Mountain.
Tang Xiaoxiao introduced these to Ning Hao on the way to here on foot, and she also proposed to go directly to Camp No. 4 to see the glacier first, and then visit the primeval forest of No. 3 Camp by the way when she came down.
Ning Hao didn't have any opinion on this, after seeing the magnificent scene of the sunrise golden mountain in the morning, he couldn't wait to have a close contact with the majestic snow-capped mountain.
As soon as he came from the bus, Ning Hao heard several exclamations, and many tourists took out their mobile phones and cameras.
Looking up in the direction you were looking, you will be greeted by a magnificent scene of blue skies, pure white snow-capped mountains, and faint clouds and mist, and the closer view is even more shocking than watching from a distance.
"Today's weather is good, we should be able to see the main peak of Gongga Mountain. ”
Tang Xiaoxiao also looked up at the peaks of the snow-capped mountains and said with a smile.
Because this is not the peak tourist season in Hailuogou, after buying two cable car tickets at Camp 3, the two of them got on the cable car without queuing much.
The cable car traveled slowly and smoothly all the way up, and it didn't take long for it to enter the vast mist.
"Wow, it's like a fairyland!"
A girl's voice rang out.
Ning Hao and the others were riding in the same cable car as two other men, one and one woman, one of whom was a couple, and the other was a single dog who had been abused.
When he first got on the cable car before, Tang Xiaoxiao took the initiative to greet them and learned that they were not going to take the Sichuan-Tibet line, but to travel from Shudu to Hailuogou.
"This is the rhythm of ascending to immortals!" the single dog also looked out the window and sighed.
As we gradually deepened into the clouds, the outside of the cable car had completely turned into a white expanse, and only two cables could be seen extending forward into the unknown clouds.
"This cable car shouldn't fall suddenly, right?"
The unknown always brings fear to people, looking at the cable in front of him that he doesn't know where to extend, Ning Hao couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
And the buddy sitting across from him had the same idea, and he said it.
"Shut your crow's mouth!"
Not surprisingly, he directly greeted his girlfriend's scolding.
"Silent Hill's sense of déjà vu!"
At this moment, the buddy of the single dog sighed faintly.
“……”
In an instant, the whole car fell silent.
Sure enough, there is a reason for being single!
Soon, after the cable car passed through the thick clouds, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the majestic mountains clearly appeared in front of me.
In comparison, the cable car that shuttles through it seems very small.
Inside the cable car, there was another exclamation, and everyone took pictures of the shocking scenery in front of them.
After nearly twenty minutes of driving, the cable car finally reached Camp 4, and after getting off the cable car, it passed through a forest, and the eyes became open.
Follow the footsteps of everyone to the observation deck of No. 1 Glacier, between the two peaks, a huge glacier waterfall pours down from the main peak of Gongga Mountain, with a drop of more than 1,000 meters, which is the largest glacier waterfall known in China.
Illuminated by the sun, the glacial waterfall is like a milky way pouring down, dazzling and breathtaking.
Because today's weather is clear and cloudless, you can also see the main peak of Gongga Mountain at the end of the glacier waterfall and on the top of the snow-capped mountain peaks.
This is the highest mountain in Sichuan Province and is known as the "King of Shu Mountain".
"Shocked, right?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked from the side.
"Hmm. ”
Ning Hao nodded, it was the first time he had seen a snow-capped mountain, not to mention that it was the main peak of Gongga Mountain with an altitude of 7,556 meters.
After that, the two walked down the plank road and came into close contact with the glacier.
This glacier is not as crystal clear as Ning Hao imagined, but as gray-black as cement, and sometimes standing on it, I think that what I am stepping on is a stone.
After visiting Camp No. 4 for about half an hour, Ning Hao began to suffer from altitude sickness, and his breathing became difficult, and he gasped violently after not walking a few steps.
Seeing this situation, Tang Xiaoxiao decisively decided to end the tour of Camp 4, and the two took the cable car down to Camp 3.
The altitude of Camp 3 was less than 3,000 meters, and Ning Hao's altitude sickness was much lessened, and it was a completely different scenery compared to Camp 4.
As far as the eye can see, the scenery of Camp 3 is all green, and walking along the mountain road through the densely wooded primeval forest is like being in a natural oxygen bar.
At the same time, in the dense jungle, Ning Hao also saw many Tibetan macaques, either shuttling between the woods or begging for food from passing tourists.
……
When I returned to Moxi Town after visiting the Glacier Forest Park, it was already past one o'clock, and the two of them set off again after a simple lunch.
According to Tang Xiaoxiao's original plan, the next step is to prepare to go directly from Moxi Town to Kangding, and on the way, you can also go to Red Rock Park to visit the Red Rock Beach of Yajia Terrier.
It's a pity that their good luck today seems to have run out.
Not everything can be satisfactory during the journey, and there are many regrets and disappointments.
During lunch, they learned from the restaurant proprietress that one section of the road was under construction, and there was only one one-way lane, which was prone to traffic jams.
Moreover, the road is very difficult to walk, and many sections of the road are rugged mountain roads.
Considering that Ning Hao's car was still new, and today's journey was also very tight, Tang Xiaoxiao decided to temporarily change the route, return to Luding from Moxi Town, and continue along National Highway 318.
