After climbing up Yubeng with great effort, the rest of the journey became much easier, and finally I no longer had to carry weight. In the next two days, we went to the Ice Lake and the Divine Waterfall respectively. The Ice Lake was a bit hard, and there were two relatively catastrophic climbs. But what was even more catastrophic was the muddy road. It took you 120% of effort to climb up, and you still had to climb up. Take 20 minutes to walk carefully until your legs start to shake so hard that you can't stop. Come to think of it, there is no easy road in this world. Going uphill is a waste of energy, and going downhill is a waste of brains. The waterfall is much simpler. Except for the climb of tens of meters at the end, the rest is basically flat. God is fair. The scenery in the places where walking is easy is a bit average, but the scenery in places where it takes a lot of effort is slightly better.
The scenery along the way to the Ice Lake is quite rich, including walking through dense forests, which is quiet and deep, walking along the river, which is cheerful and melodious, and mountain pastures, which are gentle and brilliant. The last climb can be regarded as a sprint before dawn. Climbing up this slope Even if you reach the pinnacle of victory. There are two sections of ascent in the whole trip. Although it is quite difficult, I gritted my teeth and went up. The most frustrating part is going down the mountain. It's either a muddy road trodden by horses, a gravel road with flowing water, or a stone step covered with moss. You have to pay 100% attention to the road under your feet. , otherwise you may slip accidentally. It was really despairing at one moment and devastating at the next.
When I first set off, I met a team taking a group photo, and I took one as well. There are a lot of tourists coming to Yubeng during the National Day period. No matter where you go, you can meet tourists anytime and anywhere. Because most people's itinerary is to go to Yubeng on the first day, and then go to Ice Lake and Shen Waterfall respectively, everyone takes the same route. So, it’s easy for you to meet someone today and continue to meet them over the next few days. I was lucky enough to meet a big brother who was probably from Dali on my first day in Yubeng. This big brother was probably the finisher of their team, so he always sat on the roadside waiting for people, so he always met people slowly and slowly. I am moving forward with difficulty. Because we have seen each other so many times, we are almost familiar with each other. Every time he sees me, my eldest brother always encourages me and tells me to work hard. Finally, he summed it up and said to me, “Although you are weak and walk slowly, you have great perseverance. Can persist”. I thought to myself: If I don’t persist, I have to have other choices. I never expected that I would meet this big brother several times in the next two days. Unknowingly, I became like an acquaintance. Every time, I would say hello and chat for a few words. Every time, the big brother would remind me of issues that I need to pay attention to. Or recommend good scenery to me, for which I am extremely grateful. We meet by chance and receive favors from others. It is rare for God to show us such love, so I am grateful.
Based on my limited outdoor experience, sometimes even though you are very tired, but you have to move forward, your body will adapt to that feeling of fatigue, and this tired state of the body can basically be maintained according to inertia; and when you When changing state, whether stopping or accelerating, it will break the body's equilibrium state, and after some adjustments, it will re-enter another balance. I may be a very lazy person at heart. I neither have the strength to accelerate to another equilibrium, nor can I stop to rest and start again. I have to let my body get used to the feeling of fatigue again, so I can only keep walking in this tired state. , move forward step by step, maybe this is what the big brother said: walk slowly, keep walking
In addition to hiking, there is also the option of horseback riding. However, riding a horse is a bit dangerous because there are many slopes and the road is bumpy. If you are not very skilled, you may risk falling off your horse. The person holding the horse also earned hard-earned money. Not only did he have to walk on the muddy horse track, but he also had to keep up with the horse quickly, which was not easy.
This snow-capped mountain covered by clouds and mist finally revealed its true colors as we descended. The weather on the plateau is changeable, and clouds are coming and going all day long in these snow-capped mountains. Either you are covered, or I am covered, so it is not easy to see them all together. People with bad character like me don't expect to see many snow-capped mountains at the same time. They can just see whichever one they can, even if they can't see any, it doesn't matter. I am the kind of person who takes things easy and has no requirements. Everything I see is beautiful scenery, which is unique to me.
The horse masters rested on the roadside. They didn’t have any equipment, not even a hiking pole, but they were still walking as fast as they could.
This is Xiaonong Ranch, which was also the base camp of the Chinese and Japanese mountaineering teams. The terrain here is flat and surrounded by mountains. The snow on the top of the mountain melted, leaving a white ribbon hanging in the mountains. The valley streams flew by, leaving a Milky Way engraved on the earth. Horses were busy grazing with their heads down. There were several local restaurants. Wooden houses dot the landscape. It was noon when I got here, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle. So, basking in the sun, looking at the snow-capped mountains, and eating a braised egg
I thought that the ice lake was very close to the base camp, so I wandered around the base camp leisurely for a long time. I didn't expect that there would be such a climb with no end in sight. I thought to myself that I was really careless.
Arrive at the glacial lake, but there is a lake but no ice
Starting from Yuubeng Village, the road to the divine waterfall is like a sacred road of prayer and blessing. From the tall, short, fat and uneven Mani piles on the side of the river, to the five-color prayer flags intertwined across the sky, to the sacred waterfall where everyone worships and receives the holy water, it seems that walking around is completing a cycle. A complete and sacred ceremony. Although most of the people I see along the way are tourists, there are also many locals mixed in. They are relatively easy to identify. Their clothes are not as fashionable as tourists. Generally, the whole family supports the elderly and children on the road together, without using trekking poles and traveling very fast.
I was originally very curious about how magical and spectacular the waterfall is, but it turned out to be a bit unexpected. Unexpectedly, in the flowing water formed by the melted snow, there is an inconspicuous waterfall on the far side, which is said to be the Divine Waterfall. Then, the clockwise rotating area under the Divine Waterfall is only as big as a palm, and it takes less than a minute to walk around it. Against such a majestic background, the divine waterfall in the hearts of local people turns out to be such a delicate and graceful existence.
This is the Yubeng Village I took pictures of while standing on the mountainside every day
The road leading from Yubeng Village to the Divine Waterfall is under construction
This stone should contain natural magnet or some metal component. I took a dime coin and it can attract it. The locals would leave certain items of their own there, maybe to pray for blessings. I really couldn't find anything extra that I couldn't use to leave, so I could only leave this photo.
The locals who walk like flying
When you arrive at the waterfall, the stream of water at the far right corner is the waterfall.
That day I learned the lesson from the previous day and didn’t stop too much on the way. It wasn’t until about 12 o’clock when I arrived at the Shen waterfall that I could finally rest assured and take a good rest. Although the sun is shining at this time, if you cover your hat tightly and apply sunscreen, you can still sit back and enjoy the sunshine from the plateau. Compared with the anxiety and exhaustion of running all the way, it is so happy to sit and bask in the sun.
Unexpectedly, there was a local tour guide sitting next to me, and I listened to him explain some common sense about Zhuanshen Waterfall to his team members, as follows:
Make three laps around the waterfall, which must be an odd number;
After turning around, go to the waterfall on the right to collect the holy water;
The holy water should be taken out of Meri before you drink it, that is to say, you should drink it after you complete your trip to Meri.
I also turned around three times, then rushed in to symbolically receive a few drops into the thermos cup. After listening to what the team leader said, I felt that my few drops did not meet the requirements. So I just drank a brand new bottle of Nongfu Spring, the container was already in place. I sorted out my shoes and clothes again, and it was time to test the waterproof performance of the shoes and clothes. Whether the money is worth it depends on the performance at this moment. In order to reduce the exposure time under the waterfall, you have to rush to the place with the largest flow of water to catch it as soon as possible to fill it up as soon as possible. After brewing my emotions, I rushed in without hesitation. The result of the battle is as shown below, and then I carried this bottle of water all the way back to Beijing. God sees that I am so pious, so he should bless me with safety and happiness, and preferably make me rich overnight.
I met a handsome guy who looked and looked exactly like my Scorpio brother. I quickly went over to strike up a conversation to see if it was my Scorpio brother. Sure enough, he was not... In order not to be too embarrassed, I had to ask the handsome guy to take a photo for me. , this short and stubby flaw is fully exposed, it’s so devastating
Gray glaciers and rocks are mixed together. If you don't walk in and look carefully, you won't be able to tell that this large area of coverage is actually a glacier. You will think that this is a piece of land covered with rocks. I thought glaciers were all white and huge, but I didn’t know they existed in this shape and were a bit hidden. What's even more amazing is that the gap between the glacier and the ground is filled with melted water from the snow on the top of the mountain, but the glacier itself has not melted. Once you get close to the glacier, the cold wind blows out from below.
These horses back It turned out to be soil
Unexpectedly, the highlight of the trip to Shenfu was actually the walk from Yubeng back to the inn. I thought I was done when I arrived at Yuubeng, so I deliberately wandered around Yuubeng for a long time, found a swing and discussed the situation in Hong Kong with my friends while we were having a great time chatting. Who would have thought that there would be a bumpy road ahead? wait for me. First, I couldn’t find a fork in the village where I could go back to Yubeng, so I struggled around and found the exit. Then I met two girls on the road. I saw them ducking into the side road because they heard that their inn was also between Shangyu Beng and Yu Beng. I saw them walking so firmly on the side road. , thinking that I could follow them and take a shortcut to save some energy. Who knew that the broken road was really difficult to walk on. Not to mention going back and forth in the woods, the road was steep and slippery, and it would be even harder to walk back. So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them. Because I was worried about getting lost, I couldn't walk anymore and now I didn't care about being tired. I just wanted to get to the right road quickly. Finally, thank God, I finally got out of the collapsed grove.
Although this bowl of tomato and egg noodles doesn't look good, it's really delicious. During the few days in Meili, I had a bowl of noodles every morning. The eggs were fresh, and the tomatoes were rich and finely chopped. It had all my favorite points just right. I basically relied on this bowl of noodles to maintain my strength for the whole day. I feel like I have never eaten more perfect. tomato egg noodles. Tomatoes and eggs together are a match made in heaven. Whether it is tomato scrambled eggs, tomato and egg soup, or tomato and egg noodles, they are all perfect.
Next, I can look forward to what I saw in Lijiang. Although people in Yunnan I know all told me that they prefer the romantic Dali and don’t like the overly commercialized Lijiang. I also like Dali, but this time Lijiang still gave it to me. Some surprises.
