Inexplicably, I set foot on this land of Tibet again, looking forward to the peach blossoms. But for the plateau, the first ten days of March seem to be a bit early, and I also know that it is too early, but it is so strange, and I can’t explain why.

Of course there are no peach blossoms, only curly bearded peach trees, but they are all budding. Looking from a distance, the river valley is filled with powder smoke, which seems to be there, and it can be comforted. The weather in early spring was great, at least for my trip. Rent a car from the airport and go all the way to Nyingchi.

Passing by Basongcuo to take a look, it is quite boring. The originally beautiful natural mountains and rivers have been transformed into a stupid look by stupid people according to their own stupid ideas. The poor landscape capacity cannot support the expensive “tall” Entrance gate.

Now that you’re here, how about taking two photos of your life? The ugly two suspension bridges always appear in your viewing frame without losing the opportunity, cruelly pulling you back from the fantasy of mountains and rivers to the utilitarian reality. I don’t even bother to go to the island, withdraw!

It takes 5 minutes to take the scenic bus to the lake (ticket 50 yuan). Along the way, the driver is selling his boat ticket which is 30 yuan cheaper than the regular way. Collect tickets, otherwise I really plan to throw myself into the lake.

Passing through Gala Village is even more exaggerated. The peach blossoms that haven’t bloomed are just a small piece at the root of the mountain. They have been circled, and a LOGO wall has been erected, and a few gaudy peach blossoms have been pasted in a superfluous way. The ticket notice is bigger than the peach blossoms. It was much earlier, and a few sluggish aunts at the door were waiting for the rabbit, expecting something…  

I’m quite tired of any so-called attractions, like a lame spoiler is a brutal destruction of your curiosity, go straight to Sosong Village, I haven’t read any guides before, I hope there will be a surprise to reduce my distressed level of air tickets .

I have always wondered that there are no pebbles on the river beach, but it is very fine sand

The unopened peach blossoms shielded us from a lot of noise, and the village was quite quiet, but the frequent traffic of the scenic bus to the Grand Canyon broke the tranquility of the small village. If you come 10 days later, Suosong Village should be very beautiful, and the valley is full of peach blossoms, but will the valley be full of tourists? unknown.

The two days of living in the village were quite extravagant. He actually took a nap facing Nanfeng and lay on the bed to watch how he played hide-and-seek with the clouds on his waist. Obviously, the clouds won. In the evening it was overcast and rainy. At this time, the hotel ushered in a wave of “Three Eyes Photography Club” team. To comfort them, I said that the sun was still shining an hour before they arrived here, and they were enjoying Nanfeng’s majesty. Maybe the consolation didn’t help, they were not happy anyway.

If there is any place that can make you feel unreal, it is to walk downstream along the north bank of the Yajiang River (it must be the north bank) until the Nanga Bawa Peak collides with you and forces you to stop. The majestic Nanfeng has a majestic atmosphere, the valley behind is quiet, the smoke is curling up, the river is like satin, soft and smooth, and the snow-capped mountains on the river bank are pure and majestic, talking to yourself in the reflection in front of you. The sun is very tactile, gently pressing your skin, making you feel numb and warm, and a sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

On the rainy morning of the third day, we left Suosong Village and headed south along the south bank of the river. This trip was completely unplanned, Taohua’s laziness led to our peach blossom trip hastily ended. I didn’t have a deep understanding of Shannan before. Looking at the map, there are only a few remote counties, which are nothing more than a few more ancient temples.

Just like the jackpot always appears in the hands of desperate lottery players, surprises and shocks accompany us along the way. The original Tibetan villages along the way are quiet and pristine. Although the villagers seem to be tortured by life, you can appreciate it Slightly sad. I believed I had hit the jackpot when the holy Yala Shambo Mountain suddenly appeared from before a bend to block the way. If I were to use one word to express the aesthetic intention of this mountain, I would think of “Rin”. Although he is only 6647 meters high.

The air is very transparent, like looking at the world in the water

When crossing Yala Xiangbo Mountain, I saw a wide valley at the foot of the mountain. The wind was so strong that the entire valley was covered with snowflakes and white, so that it was difficult to tell whether it was sunny, cloudy or snowing. full. The checkpoints at the county border and the cold air let us swallow our exclamations back into our stomachs and accept questioning.

When I said I wanted to go to Riyongcuo, he asked me for a border defense card. I said no, and he said that it would be difficult. I said that if you can’t pass it, you can just let me drive to the opposite mountain to have a look. He said that you still can’t pass it in Longzi County. , why waste gas money and time? Isn’t it a waste of time if I say it out to play? He may feel that this sentence is irrefutable, say whatever you want. So we went down to the soothing valley, the wind was really strong, and it was hard to open the car door. There were a few antelopes grazing on the side of the road. It was too cold to take a quick photo. Since we couldn’t go to Nariyongcuo, we went to Zhegu Co to try our luck, turned back to the checkpoint and went to the same place with the buddy, and went along a small river to Zhegu Town along a small dirt road next to a small village.

The weather in the mountains is changing rapidly. When I cross the valley and enter a small river valley, the wind is calm and the sea is instantly calm. The sun is so bright that I can’t open my eyes. A group of yaks are wandering in the snow. When I squint my eyes to enjoy the warmth and tranquility, the cowherds are cool The sound of the whistle made me even more fascinated, and it didn’t seem to be in the world.
