There is a distant place worth visiting again and again, and that is the Northwest.
Where is the Northwest?
Northwest, probably at the top left of the map of China.
(should be there)
Northwest is the intersection of some provinces and some provinces.
(Piece together can say it)
Northwest is a collection of plateaus, basins and corridors.
(a vague feeling)
Northwest is a poem I recited when I was a child,
The place where the road trips you grew up craving lie.
(sometimes clear and sometimes distant)
What is there in the Northwest?
barren, lonely, free, open
monotonous color, rich color
road, desert, starry sky, lake
childhood stories
The trip I longed for when I grew up
Or the ballads that grow out of the Book of Poetry
It seems that the Northwest has
There’s nowhere like the Northwest
captivating us again and again
every year
Blossom
In the northwest, there is barrenness. is lonely
At the end of loneliness, I will think of those warm people and fragments
in normal life
High-rise buildings and people coming and going
loneliness is fake
Waiting to go to the vastness of the Northwest
After driving for hundreds of kilometers, I don’t see a single person
The picture is still, the color is still, and the thoughts are still
empty space
barren
Gives you no direction and possible barrenness
loneliness comes out
How long have you stayed in that solitude
time and space are broken
Those warm people and fragments in the past have been brought out
In the northwest, there is openness. is free
Free to the end, will forgive the repetition of the 9 to 5 routine in daily life.
“When you are crowded in the crowd waiting for the train on the subway line 1
I am collecting the last sliver of sunset in the northwest desert, and the sky is full of stars on the way back.”
Words like this have been around for a while
Express the difference in life status through the comparison of two extreme situations
to express the beauty of freedom
In fact, 9 to 5 is also beautiful, and it is necessary
But repetition does make people tired sometimes
No one can avoid repetition in daily life
But can “neutralize”
I can’t bear to squeeze the subway, let’s run out for a while
run into the vast world
clear your mind
Pick a star and put it in your eyes
In the future, if you are upset, the stars will come out naturally
shiny, bright
Bring you back to the vast world
In addition to the stars, there are sunsets and sunrises,
There’s also a pegasus and a rainbow
have
all in the northwest
Northwest, colored
It seems monotonous, but it is also rich in words
First feeling: what color is the Northwest? Yellow chant!
Yellow is not the same as yellow
Yellow, yellow to black, that’s Gobi
Yellow, golden yellow, that’s the desert
Yellow, grey-yellow, gray-yellow, that’s the soil slope
Yellow, it will flow, that is the Yellow River.
▲ Yadan in Qaidam, the desert in Badain Jaran, the gullies in the Loess Plateau and the Yellow River in Lanzhou
The Yellow River is yellow and blue
Green Northwest?
It is grassland, plain, and valley.
Grassland, the Qilian Mountains prairie.
Plain, Hetao Plain.
River Valley, Hehuang Valley.
Both are cyan.
▲Green grass in the hinterland of Qilian, sheep in the oasis of Badain Jaran Desert, Qinghai Lake and Riyue Mountain
red, yellow, black, purple
It’s Danxia
In Zhangye, Guide, and Sunan, there are
Zhangye is famous and colorful. Breathtaking.
Guide has a small reputation and pure color. Well worth the trip.
▲Danxia in Zhangye, Guide and Qilian
blue white red yellow green
is a prayer flag
Ridges, passes, roads, temples
all colors
▲Prayer flags at the pass of Dadongshu Mountain, butter flowers in front of the hall, temples in Gannan, Ruyi Eight Pagodas in Kumbum Monastery
And snow.
Pure white snow. The whiteness of snow.
Qilian Mountain is covered with snow for most of the year
look from afar
“The snow that falls from the sky stays in the sky”
Northwest, there is a song
grow out of the ground
Come, listen to those songs about the Northwest
“The flowers in Pingchuan under Helan Mountain are falling and blooming again.
The wind blows, the leaves turn yellow, the leaves blow old, what a boy
I can’t see the end of this road, I can’t walk to the end
Listening to the wild goose singing and singing, I sang to the outside of Xiguan”
listen to one more song
“The water of the Yellow River keeps flowing
Flowed past home, flowed past Lanzhou
relatives far away
Listen to me sing a Yellow River Ballad
the sun always goes on
Walked through home, walked through Lanzhou
The moon shines on the iron bridge
I will sing to the Yellow River”
How about it?
Isn’t it very simple?
Does it look like the Book of Songs?
In fact, the Book of Songs also grew out of the Northwest.
just two songs
The first one is “Under Helan Mountain”, from Su Yang
The second song is “Yellow River Ballad”, from the wild child version
Remember to listen to the Northwest
almost mean in town
But come back and listen to it later
still interesting
There are mountains in the northwest
The mountain is in the sky, the mountain is at the foot
mountain at the foot
Because there was originally a plateau
high altitude
For no reason, it has entered more than 1,000 meters, more than 2,000 meters, and more than 3,000 meters from the sun
The air is good and the sun is strong
Far from the ocean, the air is still dry
so comfortable in summer
mountain in the sky
No matter how high the altitude is, you can still see the mountains when you look up.
The mountain grows out of the ground, looking up at the sky
people are small
standing at the foot of the mountain
looking at the top of the mountain
I can’t do anything but feel
There are mountains in the northwest
There are all kinds of mountains
dry, hairless
green snow mountain
ever-changing colors
Countless grains of sand piled up
Northwest, there is a road
straight, meandering
Straight, is endless
The kind of “driving on the endless road”
The kind of “Yellow River far above the white clouds”
people on that road
It’s like losing your soul when it’s on
These words were written on the Northwest Highway:
“100km/h
The Gobi desert outside the car window
hasn’t changed for an hour
Sunshine at three noon
fifth day of travel
The mood sank”
“Why road trips are so attractive, I think it may have a magic power to prolong the time. Whether it is familiar or unfamiliar, a thing or a thought, it will always make you zoom in on it. The past Those people or things or songs, it turns out from the bottom of your heart; those you look forward to in the future, it keeps rolling in front of your eyes. It has such a magical power, you watch the road keep moving forward, and you watch the scenery change constantly , and you also watch yourself pause and sprint forward.
I don’t know whether those people who liked to travel far in ancient times were like this, let alone whether they planted such sensibility in our genes. I often feel that kind of loss of control when traveling on the road. I am taken to inexplicable distances by the road again and again . Those distant places may be the future or the past. The memory is no longer important. The important thing is that they travel through time and space so clearly. , as if a certain person, a certain event, a certain melody is infinitely lit, elongated, and extended at a certain point in time, at the end of the road…”
road and road are different
northwest road
sometimes desolate
between desolation and desolation there are villages
For example, in the Hexi Corridor
The village is an oasis
Oasis has groundwater
northwest road
circling from time to time
That’s turning the mountain
What is more powerful than the 18th bend of the mountain road is:
Turning and turning, the altitude is also climbing rapidly
It was hot just now
When we arrived at the pass, it suddenly rained and snowed
stop
Prayer flags, Longda, cattle and sheep, worshipers
northwest road
just what you think
that’s right
In the northwest, there is the Gobi desert
a large group, a small group
As soon as the word Northwest is mentioned
everyone is like this
Northwest = empty
Then
Empty and distant, sorrowful
Followed by stories, nostalgia, pictures
This is everyone’s Northwest feeling chain
“Lonely smoke in the desert”
“Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows?”
“Looking at the sword with the light on while drunk”
“Do not teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountain”
What is emptiness?
What is empty?
Gobi desert
desert
a small lump of a small lump
It can be seen that the yellow contrasts with other colors
called sand dunes
a large piece of a large piece
Can only see yellow, continuous to see no end
It’s called the desert
Gobi
You have to mix it with an oasis to feel it
The Hexi Corridor has the most feeling
one river one city
one city one gate
After leaving the customs, it is the Gobi
After entering the customs, it is an oasis
Empty, desert and Gobi
Lively, it is a village in the desert Gobi
Those poems and stories we learned when we were young
either empty
either lively
all there
in the northwest
In the northwest, there are snow-capped mountains and grasslands
one by one, continuous
In addition to being empty, it is magnificent
There is no lack of grandeur in the Northwest
because there are mountains
continuous
there are lonely
lying on the ground
There are also those who are against the sky
The water flowing down from the mountains in the northwest
not a drop is wasted
such as Qilian Mountain
One mountain feeds four cities
Four cities connect into one corridor
The corridors are full of stories
are legends
Mountains and water
there is grassland
Cattle and sheep are fine
The best barbecue is in Jiayuguan
Northwest, there are delicious food.
Eat noodle?
What kind of noodles?
beef noodles? Hand-Pulled Noodle? saozi noodles? Dough?
How thick do you want?
There are seven kinds of thickness
Large width (two fingers wide)
Two width (one finger width)
Leek leaves (the width of a leek leaf)
Two thin (about four millimeters in diameter)
Three thin (about three millimeters in diameter)
Thin (pencil lead thickness)
Capillary (fine wire thickness)
How about it
take it
and beef and mutton
baked?
steamed?
Grab?
Braised?
all are delicious
Except noodles and beef and mutton
and fruit
delicious, not expensive
sweet and juicy
Going to the Northwest without drinking water
Eating fruit is cheaper than drinking water
Northwest, with wine
The key is where to drink
Many people who like to travel like to have a drink or two
drink local beer
Wusu in Xinjiang, the Yellow River in Lanzhou, and the snowy night in Lijiang
Alcohol is not important
The important thing is where to drink and with whom
Hello Northwest
Can sit by the Yellow River
You can sit by the desert lake
You can sit in an isolated city of Wanren Mountain
You can sit in the solitary sunset in the Gobi desert
You can sit on the street where the sun hasn’t set at eight or nine o’clock
such a place
one person can
a group of people can also
It’s okay to watch a group of people drinking alone
It will be all right
to those places
open the wine
Then
wait for the wine to turn you on
Northwest has a story
What I knew as a child, what I want to know when I grow up
has happened, desired to happen
all in the northwest
silk road
road trip
Qilian Mountains
Great Tang Story of the Western Regions
Dunhuang
The Book of Songs
Jiayuguan
action movie
desert
snow mountain
river
grassland
noodle
beef and mutton
liquor
cantaloupe
0
The sun sets at ninety o’clock
The shooting star that lights up the night in the morning
There are ravines on the high slope of the loess
Roads in the Qaidam Basin
jump up on the road
sing on the prairie
dare not speak in front of the snow mountain
Make yourself a bonfire in the desert
all there
all in the northwest
There is a distant place worth going again and again
that’s northwest
