Chapter 418: Roaring
Yang Jing studied in Jinling for four years and had long been used to the turbid but vast appearance of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so in his impression, the Yangtze River should be like this.
But when he saw the Yangtze River here, he felt that he had little knowledge.
The Yangtze River here is to be precisely said that the Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is very different from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although the river water here seems a bit turbid due to the rainy season, the turbidity here is completely different from the turbidity downstream.
If the precipitation in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is a kind of dark turbidity, then the precipitation here is a kind of bright turbidity. The former is lifeless, while the latter is full of vitality.
The vast precipitation rushed out of the mountains in the distance, turning a sharp bend that was a bit contrary to the laws of physics, and then roared again and rushed towards the other direction.
The vast river water hit the rocks on the shore and made a shocking roar. The scene was extremely spectacular.
If you want to see the panoramic view of the First Bay of the Yangtze River, you will naturally not be able to see it when standing by the river. On the roadside to Shigu Town, Lijiang, there is a place called "Photography House". There is an obvious billboard on the mountain behind it. It says the best observation point of the First Bay of the Yangtze River. However, this observation point is managed by a small restaurant. The restaurant owner opened a mountain road in the back mountain of his house. You pay a guide fee of ten yuan to take you up the mountain and climb to a platform at a commanding height, and you can see the whole picture.
Of course, if you don’t want to pay the tour guide fee, it’s OK to have a meal here.
When Yang Jing and the others came here, the sun had not yet risen and they had already had breakfast in Lijiang. However, Zhao Shuang met the boss here. After a while of greeting, Zhao Shuang took the three of them up the mountain. Here, you can indeed see the full view of the First Bay of the Yangtze River.
Zhao Shuang explained on the side: "It's rainy season now, and the Jinsha River is in the water-abundant period, so the water here is very turbid. If you come after autumn, the river here will be another color. If you come at that time, the Jinsha River will show you its gentle and beautiful side. At that time, the river here is green, very clear and soft. It is not as turbid and violent as it is now."
The princess smiled and said, "Xiaoshuang, I didn't expect you to have such a literary side."
Zhao Shuang smiled and pointed to the vast river and said, "Actually, there is a very beautiful legend about this first bay of the Yangtze River."
"Ah? Tell me quickly, I like to listen to stories the most." Hearing this, Princess seemed a little happy.
"Do you know that the three rivers flow together?" Zhao Shuang asked, and several people nodded. "The three rivers flow together refer to the Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, the three major rivers originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flowing from north to south in Nanyun, traveling more than 170 kilometers in parallel, crossing the Dandanglika Mountain, Gaoligong Mountain, Nushan and Yunling between the steep mountains and ridges, forming a rare and unique natural geographical landscape in the world where rivers flow together but do not meet."
After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "In fact, there is a common myth about the flow of three rivers and the first bay of the Yangtze River."
"A long time ago, the great Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had three beautiful daughters and one beautiful and handsome and powerful son. That son was the brother of the Yellow River who was exploring the north alone. As for the three beautiful daughters, they were the three sisters of Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang."
"There are three beautiful daughters on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Western gods all want to marry these three beautiful girls. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also agreed to the proposal of Western gods and was preparing to marry these three daughters to the West. However, the three sisters in Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang do not like the Western world, so the three sisters secretly ran out of their home without telling their parents."
"The beautiful and smart Jinsha girl invited her two sisters to go to the East China Sea. When her parents learned that the three girls were escaping, they were very angry and sent two brothers Yulong and Haba to block their way to the East China Sea. Nujiang and Lancangjiang saw two cousins blocking the road in Shasongbi Village. They thought they could not defeat them and dared not go forward, so they changed their minds and stopped going to the East China Sea. They chose the way to go south, but could not persuade Jinsha girl, so they had to be angry
Rushing away. The Golden Sands girl saw her two sisters go away, and her determination to go to the East China Sea in her heart remained unchanged. She resolutely turned around and rushed straight to the blocking place of her cousin. Finally, she thought of rushing out between the two brothers Yulong and Haba and merging into the East China Sea. Where she turned around, she formed the famous "First Bay of the Yangtze River" landscape in front of her. As for the Golden Sands girl who broke through the two brothers Yulong and Haba, it is the Tiger Leaping Gorge we are going to next."
The princess smiled and said, "This story is good. Xiaoshuang, the two brothers Yulong and Haba you mentioned are not the Yulong Snow Mountain we went to yesterday and the Haba Snow Mountain north of the Yulong Snow Mountain, right?"
Zhao Shuang nodded with a smile.
The four of them stayed in Shigu Town for more than an hour. Seeing the sun gradually rising, several people got on the bus and returned to National Highway 214, and then went north along the national highway that followed the Jinsha River and shuttled between the mountains and ridges. It took more than two hours to finally arrive at Hutle and Leaping Gorge Town.
If you want to visit the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, you usually start this small town. Although you can also visit the south bank of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, the essence of the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge is on the north bank. The most important thing is that there are roads only on the north bank. If you go to the south bank or the east bank, you have to hike.
As one of the top ten most famous "entry-level" hiking routes in the world, a large number of tourists come here to hike every year and take two to three days to complete this route.
Although Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang's holiday will last tomorrow, it will take at least two days to visit the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, so Zhao Shuang made a phone call and asked for two more days off.
There is no way, who made Zhao Shuang's father the top leader of the project department? His daughter's boyfriend accompanied his classmates, especially Sun Aoran's father, the father of one of the classmates, was also the mayor of Chuncheng. Zhao Shuang just revealed this relationship a little, and Zhao Shuang's father immediately agreed happily.
Since Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang have two more days off, the four of them will prepare to hike forward as soon as they have decided to do it.
If you don’t see it, you won’t know. When you see the scenery of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yang Jing and Princess realized that there is such a spectacular place in the world.
In the words of the princess, "This place is simply spectacular!"
The First Bay of the Yangtze River that I saw in the morning was already spectacular enough, but the First Bay of the Yangtze River is a kind of majestic spectacle, while the magnificence of the Tiger Leaping Gorge is a kind of breathtaking steepness.
As soon as I entered the Shanghu Jump, I saw that the river surface, which was originally hundreds of meters wide, suddenly shrank to dozens of meters wide. The roaring river water made a deafening rumble in the canyon, and that momentum was breathtaking.
To describe it as a myth, the two brothers Yulong and Haba, in order to prevent their beautiful and lovely cousin Jinsha Girl from going to the east, they set up a net of heaven and earth here and were preparing to take their cousin Jinsha Girl back. As a result, the Sands Girl looks beautiful but has strong hearts. Facing the obstruction of the two cousins, even though the road ahead is so narrow and steep, the Sands Girl still burst out with unparalleled power, roaring, struggling, and jumping unyieldingly, and finally breaking through the obstruction of the two brothers Yulong and Haba.
On the hiking plank road where you can clearly see the huge tiger jumping stone standing in the middle of the river, dividing the roaring river water into two, arousing the sky-storming water column and waves, and thunderously roaring, rolling huge water splashes through the stone wall and flowing downstream.
While Yang Jing and the other four were standing on the edge of the plank road and admiring the tiger jumping stone, they heard a tour guide next to him say to the tourists in the group she led with a loudspeaker: "Isn't this beautiful here?"
The tourists nodded one after another, and no one would remain indifferent when they saw such a scenery.
"But this is also a very tragic place. Every year, people who can't think of it jump from here. Last year, there was a young man over 1.8 meters tall in a group I led. He was very handsome. As a result, he broke up with his girlfriend and couldn't think of it for a while. He jumped here while we were not paying attention..."
The tourists collectively exclaimed and looked at Yang Jing and Sun Aoran. It turned out that the location where the tour guide was referring to was where Yang Jing and the other four stood.
Yang Jing and the others also heard the tour guide's voice. When they saw the tourists' expressions of unbearable expressions, it seemed that Yang Jing and Sun Aoran were also the young man who couldn't think of it.
Yang Jing and Sun Aoran looked at each other and smiled bitterly. However, the two quickly hugged their respective girlfriends, and Yang Jing even said loudly: "Don't worry, we all have girlfriends. Our girlfriends are so good, so we two won't be able to jump down..."
The people around him burst into laughter and the atmosphere was very bright.
The upper tiger jump is the most steepest in the entire Tiger Jump Gorge, but the most spectacular place is the middle tiger jump. Here you can see the Thirteen Peaks of Jade Dragon in the south, and the Haba Snow Mountain in the north, and the whole picture can also be seen.
It was almost two o'clock when Yang Jing and the others arrived at Zhonghu Jump. After walking seven or eight kilometers, Yang Jing didn't care, but Sun Aoran and the others couldn't stand it anymore.
I ate lunch at the Inn Midway. The price is fair and the taste is reasonable. Think about the location here, the ingredients here are all pulled in from outside. It is already very good to have a bite of hot food. It is really good to have such a fair price and a good taste.
