Western Sichuan Grand Ring Tour | Day 5: Looking back, take another look at Mosca!

Mosca,

In Tibetan, auspicious and flat land,

Our destination today.

This is a place

A village surrounded by snow-capped mountains,

Pass through virgin forest

to arrive.

Inside the Mosca Nature Reserve

The exposed strata consist of Triassic

Marine facies of the Zagunao Formation of the Central System

Composed of clastic rock and argillaceous rock,

The strata tend to the northeast,

An obvious single-sided mountain landform is formed.

(Above, if you don’t explain it, you won’t understand the series, and if you explain it, you won’t understand it!)

On the way to Mosca,

Opposite the Danba County Forest Police Bureau

We ate at the small shop

A very delicious meal, especially

A plate of soy pork elbow is something I will never forget.

(The elbow is cut into thin slices. Each slice has one part skin, two parts thin and seven parts fat. It deceived many female teammates. They didn’t dare to take the chopsticks at first. Only after tasting it did they realize that it is fat and fat. Not greasy, refreshing and chewy, with a fragrant aroma, and the original meaty flavor of the elbow is very prominent).

The door of the shop,

The legendary wild peppercorns were discovered

In the afternoon drive to Mosca.

The scenery along the way was pleasant.

The water flows in the valley,

At the rapids, water splashes and the sound is amazing.

Before arriving in Mosca

The last 35 kilometers are dirt roads

Very bumpy,

The off-road vehicle has begun its real off-roading .

Travel through the primeval forest,

The branches are wrapped with green mycelium,

It turns out this is called "usnea".

The only plant on earth that lives entirely in the air.

Green usneas are parasitic on the branches,

Drifting in the wind, soft and graceful,

Only in the right environment can you survive,

Once there are more traces of human activities,

It will wither and become a mass -

Yellow dead grass.

The view outside the car window suddenly widened.

Mosca has finally arrived!

Zhenzhen is like a peach blossom garden:

"There are trails in the mountains, hidden in the woods,

Meandering without knowing where to go,

After walking for dozens of miles, it suddenly became enlightened! "

On the grassland surrounded by snow-capped mountains,

There is a mysterious village,

Built with Jinlong Temple as the center,

Independent from the world,

It is a secret place far away from the hustle and bustle.

You can see it by the parking lot at the entrance of the village

Mosca’s unique landforms:

Black and gray exposed strata with no plants.

legend,

This was once the bottom of the sea,

Vicissitudes of life, landform changes,

It is now part of the grassland.

It’s time to solve the mystery——

In the photo at the beginning

The one to the left of the little girl is a groundhog.

The locals call it "Snow Pig Zi".

This name perfectly reflects its nature!

Just walked into the village entrance,

Snow Pig Zi couldn't wait to beg for food.

The locals believe that

Snow pig is the pet of the god.

So it's very friendly to it.

It will stand upright and ask for food from humans.

The cute look is always hard to resist.

Yuki Inoko is very accustomed to interacting with humans.

on the prairie,

If you see a deep hole,

Just quickly put on the fragrant pastries,

Then wait patiently——

After a while,

The cute snow pig appeared.

These fat guys are quite picky eaters.

Disdainful of bland steamed buns,

Love delicious cakes and cookies.

More and more tourists come here,

Yuki Inoko, who loves high-calorie food

Being fed fatter and fatter.

It is not afraid of the camera at all.

So the very beginning of the scene was performed

The drama of population taking food.

[In-depth explanation of landforms]

Zagunao Formation

(Oh my god! This cereal group is here again!)

The ones exposed in Mosca Trench are mainly sandstone.

Slate follows, with several layers of gray to dark gray in between.

Thin-bedded limestone and argillaceous limestone,

The thickness is greater than 700 meters.

Due to the strong weathering resistance of sand and slate,

As a result, most of them form deep ravine landforms.

There is a Jinlong Temple in the center of the village.

A lay practitioner who doesn’t know where to practice

Playing an unknown musical instrument,

Along with the long chanting of sutras that I don’t know what to recite.

With the leisurely wind coming from afar.

An old Tibetan woman

Carrying a huge prayer wheel

Move forward slowly,

Our shutter sound became here

Second voice.

There is no main hall,

There is no lecture hall,

There is only true solemnity and tranquility.

Outside the gate of Jinlong Temple,

A natural picture is unfolding silently.

behind the temple,

On the grassland hillside,

Standing densely packed with prayer flags,

It blows with the wind and has extraordinary momentum.

Mosca,

One can do nothing,

A place where you can stay in a daze for a long time.

When leaving,

I keep looking back,

Looking back, take another look,

Mosca!

Tonight, we will stay at the old village head’s house.

The son of the old village chief is Banma, the driver of the pilot car.
