On the fourth day in Qinghai, according to the plan, Frant Gwo took us to visit another scenic spot he devoted himself to: Kunlun Grand Canyon. Kunlun Mountain, the first sacred mountain in China, has a prominent position as the "ancestor of thousands of mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. The ancients called Kunlun Mountain the "ancestor of Long Mai" of China. Pangu created the world, leaving countless myths and legends. This canyon at the root of Long Mai was formed after hundreds of millions of years of washing by the holy water of the Jade Everest Snow Mountain. A Qinghai-Tibet highway beside me records the great achievements of the officers and men who first opened the way, and that plateau railway has been accompanied by a song "Heavenly Road". Only the Xueshui River in this canyon comes all the way, joins the Golmud River at the foot of the mountain, and flows quietly day after day.
Jade Everest, the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, is below Golmud River.
We have got a glimpse of Tik Tok in Kunlun Grand Canyon, which was shot by Guo Fan a while ago. Just a few seconds of video attracted baristas from all over the world and proved her charm. Unfortunately, Zhou Peng and Sugar returned to Beijing one day earlier because of the epidemic. When Zhou Peng left, he gave the task of photography to Lao Guo in Lanzhou. Lao Guo, who has traveled to more than 70 countries, is very modest in front of them, and actually has considerable skills.
Go west along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway from Golmud, and you can reach Kunlun Mountain Pass in a few minutes. It is still the boundary of Qinghai, but the roads are under the jurisdiction of Tibet. It is said that Sichuan and Tibet are the most beautiful highways in Tibet. I think each has its own advantages. A Golmud River is on the roadside, and the Kunlun Snow Mountain in the distance stretches in the horizon. The earth is desolate and vigorous. Occasionally, a train whizzes past the heaven, and in a short time, Kung Fu disappears into the depths of the mountains. In such a journey, I can't help but gush out a trace of grandeur and a sigh, and have a heroic life realm.
Several beautiful women sang "The Way" along the way. When they came to Kunlun Mountain for the first time, they were very excited on the roof.
There is a simple signboard of "Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon" at Kunlun Mountain Pass. From here, you start to enter the sandy road. A few kilometers ahead, there is a small bridge with an iron chain at the bridge head. The sign next to it has a no-go sign. Frant Gwo said that the scenic spot is under construction now, and the suspension is not to prevent customers from seeing it, but because many tourists litter. It is a common habit for domestic tourists to clean up every few days. This is the purest environment in nature, and we should protect this pure land.
After crossing the small bridge and entering the scenic spot, Frant Gwo said that this is the only area in the world that has three views: Antelope Valley, Snow Mountain Canyon and Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon. The construction of scenic spots is also divided into two steps. The snowy mountain canyon deep in the canyon is placed in the second phase. In the future, individual tourists will not be accepted, but only for professional hiking teams.
We walked all the way, first from top to bottom. At present, the car can only drive to a lake in the middle of the canyon, and then you can only see the Snow Mountain Canyon from a distance. The lake is green, the surrounding rock walls show rough texture, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are silvery. Today, the weather is surprisingly good. Zhou daka, who loves photography, has been gloomy these days. As soon as he left, the weather cleared up, leaving him with regrets and the idea of coming back. Lao Guo was promoted from a substitute photographer to a main photographer.
The canyon under the snow-capped mountains in the distance has not been developed, so we can only observe and guess the mysterious scenery from a distance.
Looking at the Snow Mountain Canyon from a distance, we drove down the valley and came to a simple iron bridge. Frant Gwo said that this will be the core scenic spot of the future canyon. The upstream of the bridge is a horse path for riding, and the downstream is a waterway for driving off-road vehicles to wade through the canyon. There is also a fork in the road, entering a narrow road. This narrow road looks like the geological American antelope valley, which is more than twice as long as the American antelope valley. In the future, it will be the most personalized coffee house in the world, with glass sightseeing platforms and trails. There are tea bars, casual drinks and barbecues. Everyone can't wait to experience it, and I want to get a real evaluation from their experience.
