Happy Tycoon

Yang Jing studied in Jinling for four years, and he has long been used to the turbid but mighty lower reaches of the Yangtze River, so in his impression, the Yangtze River should look like this.

But when he saw the Yangtze River here, he realized how little he knew.

The Yangtze River here, to be correct, is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Jinsha River, which is quite different from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Although the river here is also a bit turbid due to the onset of the rainy season, the turbidity here is completely different from the turbidity in the lower reaches. of.

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 mighty precipitation rushed out from the mountains in the distance, took a sharp turn here that violated the laws of physics, and then roared again and rushed in another direction.

The mighty river slammed against the rocks on the bank, making a soul-stirring roar. The scene was extremely spectacular.

If you want to watch the panorama of the first bay of the Yangtze River, you can't see it standing on the riverside. On the side of the road from Lijiang to Shigu Town, there is a place called Photography House. On the mountain behind here, there is an obvious billboard. It is the best observation point in the first bay of the Yangtze River. However, this observation point is managed by a small restaurant. The owner of the restaurant has opened up a mountain road in the back of his house. You will be taken up the mountain after paying a guide fee of 10 yuan. Climb to a commanding height platform and you can see the whole picture up.

Of course, if you don't want to pay the tour guide fee, you can just eat here.

When Yang Jing and the others came here, the sun hadn't risen yet, and they had already had breakfast in Lijiang. However, Zhao Shuang knew the boss here, and after chatting for a while, Zhao Shuang took the three of them up the mountain. Here, you can see the whole picture of the first bay of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Shuang explained from the side: It is the rainy season now, and the Jinsha River is in the wet season, so the water here is very turbid. If you come after autumn, the river here will have a different color. If you come at that time , the Jinsha River will show you her gentle and beautiful side. At that time, the color of the river here was green, very clear, and very soft. It is not as muddy and violent as it is now.

Gege smiled and said, Xiao Shuang, I didn't expect you to have such a youthful side.

Zhao Shuang smiled, pointed at the mighty river and said, Actually, there is a very beautiful legend about the first bay of the Yangtze River.

Huh? Tell me, I like listening to stories the most. Hearing this, Grid seemed a little happy.

Do you know that the Three Parallel Rivers? Zhao Shuang asked, and several people nodded, The Three Parallel Rivers refer to the Jinsha River, the Lancang River and the Nujiang River, which originate from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, run in parallel from north to south in Nanyun territory. More than 70 kilometers, passing through the Danlika Mountain, Gaoligong Mountain, Nu Mountain and Yunling Mountains and other lofty mountains, forming a unique natural geographical landscape that is rare in the world 'rivers flow side by side but not converging'.

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: In fact, there is a common myth about the Three Parallel Rivers and the first bay of the Yangtze River.

A long time ago, the great Qinghai-Tibet Plateau gave birth to three beautiful daughters and a beautiful, handsome and powerful son. That son was the brother of the Yellow River who went to the north alone. As for the three beautiful daughters, they were the Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nu River. sisters.

There are three beautiful daughters on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The gods of the West wanted to marry these three beautiful girls. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also agreed to the marriage proposal of the Western Gods and planned to marry these three daughters to the West. The three Nujiang sisters didn't like the western world, so the three sisters secretly ran out from home without telling their parents.

The beautiful and intelligent Jinsha girl invited her two elder sisters to flee to the East China Sea. When their parents learned that the three girls had escaped, they were very angry and sent two brothers, Yulong and Haba, to block their way to the East China Sea. Seeing the two cousins ​​blocking the way, they thought they were no match for them and dared not go forward, so they changed their minds and did not go to the East China Sea. They chose to go south, but they couldn't persuade Jinsha girl, so they had to rush away angrily. Miss Jinsha saw her two sisters gone far away, but her determination to go to the East China Sea remained unchanged in her heart. She turned around and went straight to where her cousin blocked her. Finally, she managed to get out from between the two brothers Yulong and Haba and merge into the East China Sea. The place where she turned around formed the famous First Bend of the Yangtze River landscape in front of her. As for the place where the Jinsha girl broke through the two brothers Yulong and Haba, it is the Tiger Leaping Gorge that we will go to next.

Gege smiled and said, This story is nice. Xiao Shuang, the two brothers Yulong and Haba you are talking about are not the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain we went to yesterday and the Haba Snow Mountain to the north of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, right?

Zhao Shuang smiled and nodded.

The group of four stayed in Shigu Town for more than an hour. Watching the sun rise gradually, several people got on the car and returned to National Highway 214, and then went north along this national highway that followed the Jinsha River and shuttled among the mountains. , spent more than two hours, and finally came to Tiger Leaping Gorge Town.

If you want to visit the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, you usually start from this small town. Although it is also possible to visit from the south bank of Tiger Leaping Gorge, the essence and scenery of the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge are on the north bank. The most important thing is that only the north bank has roads. If you go to the south bank or the east bank, you have to go on foot.

As one of the ten most famous entry-level hiking routes in the world, a large number of tourists come here to hike every year, and it takes two to three days to complete this route.

Although Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang's vacation was until tomorrow, it would take at least two days to visit the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, so Zhao Shuang made a phone call and asked for an extra two days off.

No way, who made Zhao Shuang's father the top leader of the project department? His daughter's boyfriend accompanied her classmates, especially the father of one of Sun Aoran's classmates was also the mayor of Spring City. Zhao Shuang just made this relationship a little bit After revealing it, Zhao Shuang's father readily agreed.

Now that Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang had two more days off, the four of them were ready to go on foot once they got together.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I saw the scenery of Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yang Jing and Gege realized that there are still such magnificent places in this world.

In Gege's words, This place is simply a spectacular mess!

The first bay of the Yangtze River that I saw in the morning is already spectacular enough, but the first bay of the Yangtze River is a kind of majestic magnificence, while the magnificence of Tiger Leaping Gorge is a kind of breathtaking and precipitous.

As soon as I entered Shanghu Leaping, I saw that the river, which was originally hundreds of meters wide, suddenly shrank to tens of meters wide here. The roaring river made a deafening rumble in the canyon, and that kind of momentum was truly breathtaking.

To use a fairy tale to describe it, it is that Yulong and Haba brothers, in order to prevent the beautiful and lovely cousin Jinsha girl from going to the east, set up a net here to bring her cousin Jinsha girl back. As a result, Miss Jinsha is beautiful on the outside but strong in heart. Facing the obstruction of her two cousins, even though the road ahead is so narrow and steep, Miss Jinsha still burst out with unparalleled strength, roaring all the way with an indomitable momentum , Struggling, and jumping unyieldingly, finally broke through the blocking of the two brothers Yulong and Haba.

On the trekking path of Shanghu Leaping, you can clearly see the huge Tiger Leaping Stone standing in the middle of the river, which divides the mighty and roaring river into two, arouses the sky-high water column and waves, roars like thunder, and rolls over. With a huge water splash through the stone wall, it flows downstream.

When Yang Jing and the others were standing on the edge of the plank road admiring the Tiger Leaping Stone, they heard a tour guide next to her say to the tourists in her group with a loudspeaker: Isn't this beautiful?

The tourists nodded one after another, and no one would be indifferent when seeing such a scene.

But this place is also a very tragic place. Every year, people who can't think about it jump from here. In a group I led last year, there was a handsome guy who was over 1.8 meters tall, but because he broke up with his girlfriend, I couldn't think about it for a while, and jumped here while we were not paying attention.

The tourists collectively let out a collective exclamation, and looked at Yang Jing and Sun Aoran one after another. It turned out that the location pointed by the tour guide was where Yang Jing and the others were standing.

Yang Jing and the others also heard the tour guide's voice, and saw the unbearable expressions on the faces of the tourists, as if Yang Jing and Sun Auran were also the boys who couldn't think about it.

Yang Jing and Sun Auran looked at each other and smiled wryly. 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, we brothers will not be too tempted to jump down.

The people around suddenly burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was good for a while.

The Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge is the steepest in the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, but the most spectacular scenery is in the Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, where you can see the Thirteen Jade Dragon Peaks in the south and the Haba Snow Mountain in the north.

It was almost two o'clock when Yang Jing and the others arrived at Zhonghutiao. After walking seven or eight kilometers, Yang Jing felt that it didn't matter, but the three of them, Sun Aoran, couldn't take it anymore.

I ate lunch at the Midway Inn, the price is fair, and the taste is justified. Thinking about the location here, the ingredients here are all brought in from the outside, it’s good enough for you to have a mouthful of hot food, it’s really good to have such a reasonable price and good taste.

After eating and resting for a while, a few people took a tour around Zhonghu Leaping, and they didn't return to the inn until the sun completely sank in the mountains. They will stay here at night, and go to the walnut orchard and Tiger Leaping early tomorrow morning.
