Chapter 451 Xanadu
"This is Dalin Village, known as the paradise in the Grand Canyon." Li Qingze stood beside Liu Mo'ang and pointed to the small village below.
Old Cai came up and couldn't help but say, "The scenery here is so good, the terrain is so good, it's really a paradise!"
"In the past, there was only one road in and out, and it was still a ox and horse road, so vehicles could not drive in at all. It was not until a few years ago that the viewing road along the river was built that it was considered a road. However, this road from Suosong Village was chiseled out halfway up the mountain, which was very dangerous. We must be careful when passing that section of the road. We must not only be careful of the road conditions, but also be careful of the falling rocks on the mountain."
Liu Mo'ang nodded and took out his cell phone to take a photo as a souvenir.
Such a beautiful scenery is condescending, and it would be a bit sorry for the scenery here if you don’t leave a souvenir.
He drove down the mountain carefully. When he was going down the mountain, Li Qingze called the villagers to notify the people in the village to open the iron fence so that the car could enter the small village.
"Some villages here have such iron gates. The gates are usually closed and tourists are not allowed to enter and exit at will." Li Qingze explained.
Liu Mo'ang nodded without saying a word. On the way he came, he had encountered several iron fence gates that were lying in the middle of the road. Since such iron gates were set up on the road, there must be a reason.
But Liu Mo'ang usually doesn't ask about such things, even if he knows the reason, he won't say it.
After the car entered Dalin Village, I found that the snow on the roads in the village had been almost wiped out. The roadside was full of high snow piles, and there were many snowmen with brooms and briquettes as their eyes. They looked quite festive.
The person who opened the door was a cadre in the village. He got into Liu Mo'ang's car and directed the car to park in front of a courtyard in the northeast corner of the village.
Li Qingze said: "Brother Liu, it's already over 10 o'clock. We'll have lunch here. The town has already arranged it, and when we leave, we have to pull some rescue workers who came in yesterday to go back together. How many of them are from your Blue Sky Rescue Team."
This is not a time to be polite. Although this huge blizzard is not small, with the efforts of relevant departments to rescue these villages, there is no problem for the time being. After all, this place is not far from the town government, and this village is also a very famous check-in point in the Grand Canyon. There are many tourists who come here to visit, and naturally there are a lot of reserves in the village.
Liu Mo'ang and Lao Cai drove to remove snow specifically, so it was normal for the village to take care of the meal.
The courtyard is not small in size, with a two-story Tibetan building inside, which looks quite large. The square courtyard is surrounded by a stone wall with a height of about 1.8 meters. It is worth mentioning that there is also a two-story observation deck built of wood in the southeast corner of the courtyard.
Obviously, this viewing platform is used to allow tourists to view Nangabawa Peak.
The four people walked into the Tibetan building and found that there were quite a few people inside, with only 15 or 16 people, and six of them were members of the Blue Sky Rescue Team that Liu Mo'ang was familiar with.
After a while of greetings, the steaming food was brought up. Although there were not many, the quantity was very large. Everyone was not vague and picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl and started eating.
Rescue and disaster relief is not a light job, and it can make people exhausted after a day or two.
Liu Mo'ang didn't dare to eat too much. After all, there were still more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads to run in the afternoon, so he had to pull people in the car, so he had to drive more carefully. Eating too much can easily cause sleepiness.
Liu Mo'ang always had a quick meal. After putting down the dishes, he and a few members of the Blue Sky Rescue Team who were full of food walked out of the house to smoke, and Li Qingze followed him out.
"Go over there and take a look?" Li Qingze said, pointing to the viewing platform in the southeast corner of the yard.
"Okay!" Several people walked to the platform with difficulty, regardless of the snow in the yard with deep thighs. They cleaned the snow on the platform with the broom under the platform and climbed the platform along the wooden steps.
Li Qingze pointed to the east of the valley and said, "If the weather is clear, you can directly see the full picture of Nangabawa Peak from here. The Zhibai Village we passed by in the morning is about three kilometers east of here. However, the altitude of Zhibai Village is less than 2,900 yuan, and the altitude here is close to 3,100 meters higher than that, so we can't see Zhibai Village here and Yajiang. However, like Zhibai Village and Sosong Village we passed by in the afternoon, it is one of the three best villages to enjoy Nangabawa Peak close to the Grand Canyon Scenic Area."
Liu Mo'ang asked: "How far is this straight line distance from Nanfeng?"
"It's about fifteen kilometers! It's much closer than the Sezira Pass. And from here you can not only see Nangabava, but also see Gala Bailei, and you can't see these two sacred mountains at the Sezira Pass at the same time."
Liu Mo'ang nodded. He had seen the complete Nine Peaks of Nangabawa at the Sejila Pass, which was very spectacular, but unfortunately, because of the obstruction of the mountain, there was no way to see the Gala Bailei Peak there.
Lao Cai sighed and said, "I have been on the plateau for more than ten years. I have never seen the whole picture of Nangabawa before, alas..."
Xia Zhixin, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "Brother Cai, you are really lucky. I guess you have never seen the whole picture of Nan Feng in our team, right?"
Lao Cai shook his head and sighed...
As he spoke, the wind seemed to be a little bit stronger, and the clouds and mists in the sky showed signs of dispersion.
Everyone smoked a cigarette after the meal in the wind, and then returned to the room and prepared to pedal back.
It would be impossible if these more than a dozen people wanted to go back today. They could always sit away if they squeezed.
Old Cai’s Ford Raptor is also very spacious. It is absolutely fine to sit five people besides Old Cai, just squeeze some. As for Liu Mo’ang’s Xiaolong, it’s okay to open up all the additional seats behind it. It’s okay to pull nine people at once. If you squeeze, you’ll be fine to pull two more.
However, given that the two cars are performing the task of clearing snow on the road, it is definitely not safe if there are too many people pulled in the car. From a safety perspective, it is better not to pull so many people back.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t take it away today. Anyway, after removing the snow on the road today, a car will definitely come in tomorrow. It’s okay for those who can’t leave today to follow the car back tomorrow.
The six people from the Sunshine City Blue Sky Rescue Team had to follow two cars back without any surprises, and the remaining rescuers also followed four people, so that another car would take the rest away tomorrow.
The car drove east along the river highway first. When it reached the east end of the valley, it turned south and walked back along the road hard-cut from the hillside.
I have to say that this section of the road is indeed very steep. It is said to be two lanes, but the road surface is at most four meters wide. It is difficult for cars like the Xiaolong who have a width of two meters.
Moreover, although there are no big bends on this section of the road, there are cliffs hundreds of meters high to the west. Because of the mountain road, these cliffs have no vegetation and snow cannot be stored here. Therefore, the rock walls are exposed in the air, and rocks seem to fall down at any time.
The cliffs close to the highway are equipped with rockfall protection nets, and one piece of protective net after another covers all of these cliffs. But even so, small crumbs falling on the road can be seen from time to time on the roadside.
On the east side of the road, there are also cliffs hundreds of meters high, almost straight up and down, and below is the turbulent Yarlung Zangbo River.
This road reminded Liu Mo'ang of the road he walked when he went to Rongjiegou. Although the road in Rongjiegou is more steep, this section of road is not much worse.
Such a road made the few people in the car dare not speak, for fear of disturbing Liu Mo'ang's driving.
In fact, if you are usually in normal times, it would be fine to run like this. But the problem is that there is nearly half a meter of snow on the road, so just looking at the road conditions can make people feel shocked.
Especially on a downhill road, the slope is very large, with a distance of less than 500 meters, and the height directly dropped by nearly 200 meters. Although there is a small "Zhi" bend in the middle to serve as a buffer, this section of the road is quite steep. Lao Cai even had to pull the Xiaolong in front of him from the back to keep the speed at a safe speed.
With just these two kilometers of distance, it took nearly an hour for the two cars to safely descend from 3,200 to 3,000. The road ahead was much smoother, and the Grand Canyon didn't look that deep. Everyone breathed a long sigh.
"Damn, I didn't feel that it was so steep when I walked this distance yesterday!" Xia Zhixin wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained, trying to ease the tension in the car.
Li Qingze, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also let out a sweat and laughed, "Brother Liu, fortunately we came from the east. If we walked directly on this road when we came, we might not be able to get up to this slope."
Liu Mo'ang nodded and said, "That's right, even if the anti-slip chain is added, the slope cannot be raised!"
At this moment, countless light pillars suddenly fell from the sky. Everyone almost subconsciously tilted their heads and looked up at the sky, but found that the clouds in the sky were much thinner, and some places even showed blue sky...
"Damn, this scenery is spectacular!" Xia Zhixin began to exude fragrance again.
Liu Mo'ang smiled and said, "I just watched the road, but I didn't see the change in the weather. It seems that the day is about to clear up!"
Before he finished speaking, Lao Cai laughed loudly and heard through the hand table: "Brothers, brother, I finally saw the full picture of Nangabawa Peak today!"
With Lao Cai's voice, everyone turned their heads to the left in unison. Sure enough, not far away, a tall mountain peak shaped like a spear tip was exposed from the clouds. This unique shape is not the Nan Peak or which peak is it? Although there is a circle of clouds blocking the mountain, the upper end of Nangabawa Peak was completely exposed. From this position, it is very clear!
Liu Mo'ang parked the car steadily in the middle of the road, and Lao Cai's car behind him also stopped. All the people got out of the car, took out their cell phones and started taking photos as souvenirs.
Although there are still many opportunities to see the full picture of Nangabawa Peak in winter, this is the famous "Shame Girl Peak". For those of them who are not locals, it is rare to see the full picture at once.
PS: Chapter 449 I entered the dark room and am applying for the lifting of the ban, but it takes time. So I'll post another chapter!
Chapter completed!
