Happy Tycoon

The next day, Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang didn't go to work. When they learned that Yang Jing and Ge Ge came to Lijiang for a trip, they took three days off. It just happened to catch up with the continuous heavy rain at their construction site, and there was no way to construct, so the two of them were liberated.

Accompanied by Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang, to be more precise, accompanied by Zhao Shuang, the next morning, the four of them braved the drizzle and started marching like Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

If you come to Lijiang and don't visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it's like you haven't visited Badaling and the Forbidden City in Yanjing.

Sun Aoran has been at this construction site here for more than half a year, but he has never been to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain once. One is that he has no time to come out to play at all, and the other is that the construction site he is in is in Yongsheng. At the southern end, it is closer to Dali than to Lijiang.

However, Zhao Shuang is a native of Lijiang. She was born and raised here, and she is very familiar with the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the scenic spots around Lijiang. So this time I went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Zhao Shuang became the tour guide.

Under Zhao Shuang's suggestion, several people did not go with the group, but drove directly to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area.

Driving is the fastest way. You can directly reach the parking lot under the snow-capped mountain, and go up another five kilometers to reach the big cableway. Then we will take the big cableway up the mountain. Zhao Shuang talked about today's arrangement while driving. .

Gege looked at the Daxue Mountain in the northwest through the car window, and said longingly: Everyone said that Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is so beautiful. To be honest, I didn't take it seriously before. Now I saw it with my own eyes, so I really know it. It’s a well-deserved reputation.”

Zhao Shuang smiled and said: Of course, the beauty of the scenery here is really difficult to describe in words. I grew up here since I was a child, even though I have been here countless times, every time I see this beautiful scenery I couldn’t help but get excited, and I would try to find some beautiful words to describe her, but I couldn’t, I really couldn’t, she was so beautiful.”

Zhao Shuang slammed and avoided a tourist bus that was almost rampaging, and smiled helplessly.

Sun Aoran, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, cursed angrily: Damn bastard, how did you drive this way? Are you rushing home for the funeral?

Zhao Shuang shook his head to comfort her boyfriend, Auran, don't say that, the drivers here drive like this, there is no way, we just pay more attention. It is useless for you to get angry with them.

Gege frowned and said, Why are there so many cars here, are they all here for tourism?

Zhao Shuang smiled, Sister Gege, there are not many cars today. If the weather is good, there will be frequent traffic jams on this road. Sometimes the traffic jams last for several hours. I also look at today's weather It was not very good, so we decided to drive here. If the weather is good, we have to walk up. Because in that kind of good weather, walking is faster than driving.

Yang Jing also shook his head speechlessly, the traffic jam in the big capital is serious enough, but according to Zhao Shuang, the traffic jam here is worse than the big capital. There are so many tourists here? Can the scenic spot afford it?

Zhao Shuang shook his head, The scenic area has already been overloaded, especially in the past ten years, with the popularity of self-driving tours and domestic tourism, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and even the entire Lijiang City have been overwhelmed.

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the glacier closest to the equator in the northern hemisphere. In addition to its reputation, a large number of tourists come here to watch the glacier every year. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area Reserve covers an area of ​​260 square kilometers. With the completion of the three cableways, especially the large cableway that can directly reach the core area of ​​the reserve at an altitude of 4,508 meters, this has led to over-development. Coupled with global warming, many glaciers in Yulong Snow Mountain have disappeared now, entering the new Centuries later, the Yanggong River No. 5 Glacier has experienced two large-scale collapses. The largest Baishui No. 1 Glacier is also shrinking in size and thickness. If this continues, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will be really dangerous.

Shaking his head, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly, But there is no way, tourism is an important economic pillar of Lijiang, and now everything is in line with GDP, the result.

As a local, Zhao Shuang watched Jade Dragon Snow Mountain deteriorate day by day, so it goes without saying that she felt uncomfortable.

Grid asked: Then the country doesn't want to control it?

Zhao Shuang smiled wryly and said, How to control? These tourists are all money, and they all represent GDP! Who controls it? Who can control it? Look at the four of us, aren't we one of them?

Several people were talking, and soon the car drove to the Ganhaizi scenic spot at an altitude of more than 3,100 meters. After parking the car in the parking lot, Yang Jing asked with a smile: Is there a golf course here? The altitude is so high. Who is coming to play ball?

Zhao Shuang said: This golf course is not simple. It was designed by a famous foreigner. I forgot the name. It was completed and opened in 2001. This golf course is the only snow mountain course in the northern hemisphere, and it is also the only one in the world. One of the highest altitude golf courses. Come here to play in summer, with green grass on one side and snow-capped glaciers on the west. The scenery is so beautiful that many people like to come here to play in summer. The business here is very good.”

Sun Aoran said: The fee here is not cheap, is it?

Zhao Shuang said: It seems to be okay. I remember my dad said that the fee for 18 holes is about 900 yuan, and on the weekend, it is about 1,000 yuan. Plus other things such as caddy fees, There are a series of expenses such as shoe rental fees, rod rental fees, umbrella rental fees, golf cart fees, etc., and it costs upwards of 2,000 yuan to play down an 18-hole round.”

Ge Ge poked Yang Jing, Why, are you tempted? If you are tempted, just buy this place, and then we will come here to play every summer.

Yang Jing smiled and shook his head, I'm not very interested in this sport yet. When I like this sport one day, I'll buy this place, and we will come here to play every summer.

Zhao Shuang didn't know Yang Jing's net worth, so he asked Sun Aoran in a low voice: Auran, is your classmate rich?

Sun Aoran is not very clear about Yang Jing's net worth, but Sun Aoran knows that Yang Jing is indeed rich in antiques these days, but he is still far away from buying such a golf club. So he shook his head and said, Maybe it's a joke.

Gege heard the young couple's words, but she didn't explain, she just smiled.

Considering Yang Jing's current net worth, buying this golf club is just a matter of effort.

Opening the trunk, several people carried their backpacks, which contained some things prepared last night. For example, small oxygen cylinders, some high-calorie foods and drinking water.

Although it is a big cableway to go up, the altitude of the upper station of the big cableway is as high as 4508 meters. At first glance, altitude sickness is very likely to occur, so a small oxygen cylinder is a must-have thing.

It cost 728 yuan to buy four tickets from the ticket office of the big cableway, and the group began to trek along a climbing road. There is still about five kilometers to go from the ticket office to the lower station of the big cableway.

Fortunately, this mountain climbing road is very easy to walk, and the whole journey is in the shade of greenery. Although it is still drizzling in the sky, it is really poetic and picturesque to walk and climb the mountain here.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has a total of three cableways. The cableway we are going to now is the big cableway. It is the longest and highest cableway. Zhao Shuang explained as he walked.

What about the other two cableways? Why can't you see them? Grid asked.

The two cableways are in the north. Have you seen that road? Go northward along that road, and there is about 15 kilometers away from here to the northernmost Maoniuping cableway. That cableway is The medium cableway, because the large cableway we took today is not usually in operation, so the Maoniuping cableway is the cableway with the most tourists. It’s just that the Maoniuping cableway can’t reach the glacier.”

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: On the way to Maoniuping cableway, I happened to pass Yunshanping, which is about six kilometers away from us. There is also a cableway in Yunshanping, which is Yunshanping. Shanping small cableway, this cableway is the cableway with the lowest altitude. We are very lucky today. Although it is a little rainy, the big cableway is still open. Usually the big cableway is not open, especially when the weather is bad .”

Yang Jing laughed and said, If the big cableway doesn't open, we have to go to the Maoniuping cableway?

Well, that's it. There is no way, the altitude of the big cableway is too high, the altitude of the lower station alone is close to 3400, if the weather is too bad, the big cableway can't be started.

Yang Jing nodded, I know this, especially in places with an altitude of more than 4,000, the weather cannot be compared with that below. Perhaps the weather is still bright and sunny down below, but after four Thousands of kilometers, maybe it’s snowing heavily. The weather changes in the plateau area are still very drastic.”

Several people walked while talking and laughing, and soon came to the lower station of the big cableway.

At the entrance of the lower station, the most attractive thing is the three-meter-high big stone in the passage on the left side of the entrance. The words Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, 3356 are written on the big stone in sky blue. These words are all vertical, and the number 3356 is the altitude of the lower station.

The big cableway opened today, so there are still a lot of tourists here. The four of them waited in line for a while before getting on a blue gondola.

Sitting in the hanging box, there is a gray sky above the head, and the legendary Blue Sky Snow Mountain is missed today. But there are lush trees under the feet, and the end of the cableway is the white snow mountain.

Naturally, this kind of rare scenery should be kept forever, so the four of them immediately turned into selfie maniacs
