Exploring the secret place - A trip to Wuyi Sansunkeng Donkey

Niutou Mountain in Wuyi, with an altitude of 1,560 meters, is the highest peak in Jinhua Prefecture. Among its many mountains and canyons, there is a mysterious and beautiful grand canyon - Sansunkeng. There are three peaks in the canyon with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. , with the erosion of wind and rain for thousands of years, the rock mass in the mountain has peeled off layer by layer. Looking in from the entrance of the pit, it looks like three bamboo shoots. This is where the name of San Bamboo Hole comes from.

The long-awaited Sansunkeng Donkey Tour was launched on the first weekend after the May Day holiday. We started at the junction of Wuyi and Lishui. The four-kilometer mountain road was spacious and easy to navigate. Except for the high altitude, it was no different from other mountains. It felt a bit unfair to drive for three hours and see nothing. When we reach the ridge, we can see the peaks in the canyon rising from the ground, piercing the sky. The waterfall on the opposite mountain looks like Bailian falling from the sky, dancing gracefully, which is very spectacular. We walked around the top of the mountain, looking for the best viewing spot, and happened to meet a donkey team. We found out that they were local donkey teams from Wuyi. They introduced the general situation of Sansunkeng and advised us not to enter the canyon. It is quite dangerous. It is an undeveloped virgin canyon, with only iron chains left in dangerous places. Travelers once died in the canyon. We could not listen to their advice, so we searched for traces at the pass where we met. There are no traces on the steep mountain. The only traces of the road were rugged weathered rocks and thick green vegetation on the rocks. I climbed underground for a while. I felt something was wrong, so I looked around for traces. I found something feasible on the rock wall above, so I climbed back up. Climbing up the cliff, there was just enough space for one foot to rest on the rock wall. It had just rained two days ago and was very slippery. I could only firmly hold on to the mountain reeds on the rock wall and move my steps carefully to reach the top of San Bamboo Point. .

The rocks on the top of the three bamboo shoots were severely weathered. I was exploring the way in front, and my companions were following behind. Suddenly I heard a dull sound coming from the valley below, which scared me half to death. I quickly shouted to ask what was going on. It was my travel companion who had caught the weathered rocks. On the top, the sound of rocks rolling down the canyon made the travelers afraid and did not dare to move. We could only return to Aokou and find another way. For some reason, the satellite positioning signal here was very unstable, the trajectory drifted seriously, and the ridge line There is a road in the direction of Bijia Mountain. I wanted to descend from Bijia Mountain to the bottom of the valley. After walking for a while, the trail suddenly disappeared and the road was blocked. We discussed again and agreed to continue back to Aokou and descend from Aokou again. The mountain was steep and the road was slippery. The surface of the mountain is covered with weathered rocks. If you don’t pay attention and step on it unsteadily, the rocks will fly through the air under your feet. As I walk in front to explore the path, I have to always pay attention to the flying rocks behind me. It is really slow and difficult to move.

Finally, we almost reached the bottom of the valley. There was a cliff of more than ten meters next to the waterfall. The Wuyi rescue team had already set up iron chains, but it was still very difficult to go up and down. The rock walls were covered with moss, which made people feel uncomfortable. When you reach the bottom of the valley, you will see waterfalls and streams. The water is so pure that it cannot be expressed in words. I wash my face with a handful and my whole body feels cool and refreshing. Companion calls, the track is above the waterfall. We got up and climbed back up the cliff, catching up with our companions. We saw a waterfall pouring from the opposite rock wall into the valley bottom. We walked upstream on the rocky beach of the canyon, and saw another waterfall rushing straight into a deep pool. When we turned around, we fell into the deep pool below again. The water in the pool is blue, as blue as a gem, making people forget to leave.

We climbed up next to the waterfall, and then cut across the cliff to the top of the waterfall. The cross section was assisted by iron chains. Although it was thrilling, it was easy to pass. Looking at the waterfall and deep pool below will still make your heart beat faster.

Continuing to climb, I lost my way again by the stream. I searched everywhere without success. After everyone gathered together, they decided to find a way to cross the stream to have a look. They lay down on a slippery rock, went down to the stream bed, and walked along the huge rocks in the middle of the stream. , jumped to the opposite rock, and found the way to climb in the pile of rocks on the right rear. This is really: "There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is a village with dark willows and bright flowers."

We climbed to a new height and climbed over the huge rocks on the stream bed. What we saw before us was a waterfall. This is the largest waterfall in the canyon. The stream water slid into the pool with the rock wall, and a refreshing and refreshing wind blew in our faces. Sit on the huge rock and slowly enjoy the gentle breeze. After a while, you feel chilly. Then you start to continue climbing up the waterfall. This section is beautiful and the most thrilling climax. People climb on the slippery rock wall. The vines support the trees and rise vertically. The section that cuts across to the edge of the waterfall is still assisted by iron chains until you reach the top. The creek bed is two to three meters wide, and the clear spring is running flatly towards the cliff. One after another, they keep moving forward bravely. This scene is really beautiful.

After crossing the stream, there is a fork in the road. There is a straight road. It quickly reaches the main road. It is very easy to return to the car. Another right turn continues to climb. Some teammates are exhausted and go straight back. We continued to climb the mountain. It turned out to be a fire road. The scenery was gone. The two of them collapsed on the ground, their feet were as heavy as lead, and they refused to get up for a long time. The sun was setting on the west mountain, and I was afraid that it would be dark and I would not be able to get down the mountain. I gritted my teeth on the fire road and ran up and down the mountain peak about 1200 meters above sea level. I finally reached the car when the sun was setting.

The peaks of Sansunkeng and Two Corridors are majestic and abrupt, piercing the sky. The upper and lower pits are full of cliffs with no way to escape. The virgin forest is full of wildness, with waterfalls, deep pools, and clear springs. Xuanping Reservoir has the reputation of Xiaojiuzhaigou. There is plenty of water after the rain, and there are too many uncertain factors in the weathered and slippery rocks, which makes it quite difficult. Walking on weathered rock flakes, the uppers of the hiking boots are worn out and deglued. It is a good donkey line with strength and difficulty, and it is worth recommending.
