Guo Jin | the Grand Canyon of the Nu River
Nu Jiang, make my heart soar for a long time! The style of the Grand Canyon of the East is unforgettable for a long time.
The Nu River Grand Canyon is the world's longest, most mysterious, most beautiful and dangerous and most primitive and quaint Oriental Grand Canyon. Located in nujiang prefecture in northwestern Yunnan, it is a place of geographical wonder in Yunnan, continuing from the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon to the southeast. The Nu River Grand Canyon is located in the three-river parallel flow zone in the Longitudinal Valley Area of Hengduan Mountain in Western Yunnan, the canyon is more than 300 kilometers long, the average depth is 2000 meters, and the deepest point is in the Area of Gongshan Bingzhongluo, reaching 3500 meters, known as the "Grand Canyon of the East".
We drove straight to the Nu River Grand Canyon. The car drove through the place of Huanglianshu in Baoshan City, an important town in western Yunnan, and then went north along the twisting and circling road, driving for 2 hours in the thrill of full of magic and feeling, and a big river appeared, which is the Nu River. "The Nu River has arrived, the Nu River has arrived," the author excitedly told everyone that he could not bear the fatigue of the journey. The world-renowned Grand Canyon of the East ——— the Grand Canyon of the Nu River are displayed in front of us.
This is the seat of the Nujiangzhou government - Liuku Town. Liuku, this is the narrow valley formed by the Nu River in this impact. Strolling through Liuku, it is quite like walking on the Yangtze River, Fengjie, Wushan and other Badong county towns. Today, the county seat of Lushui has been moved to Liuku and integrated with the state capital. The prefecture is distributed along both sides of the river, and Jiangdong and Jiangxi are often said by the local people. At night, when we walk on the Riverside Ecological Ten Mile Causeway, you will also find that the city in the canyon is also illuminated, and has the same pace of development as the cities in the mainland.
Our car went up the river, Liuku, Fugong, Gongshan, all the way to Bingzhongluo, the Nu River Grand Canyon has always shocked everyone who walks by it with its majestic momentum. Except for Liuku and The two doctors who accompanied us to Gongshan, the other four, including the driver, were all on their first trip to the Nu River Grand Canyon. A sense of freshness, mystery welled up in the veins.
Walking north along the Liuku, the true appearance of the two banks of the Nu River Grand Canyon is gradually revealed. The car turns along the river, and the car sticks to the cliff plate. When you encounter a large car, you need to retreat to a wider road to pass. The Nu River, which originates in Qinghai, tore a hole between gaoligong mountain and Biluo snow mountain, flowing through the whole territory of Nujiang Prefecture, never stopping roaring and rushing forward. I secretly thought to myself, Li Taibai, who wrote "Shu Dao is difficult, it is difficult to go to qingtian", to experience the strange dangers of the Nu River Grand Canyon, I don't know what kind of earth-shattering poems will be created.
It is located in the south of The Central Luobazi, 40 kilometers away from the county seat. When the Nu River flowed near Zidang Village, it was originally flowing from north to south, but it was blocked by Wang Qiyan, so it had to flow from east to west, and after flowing out for more than 300 meters, it was blocked by a large steep slope, and it turned around and turned sharply from west to east, and when it flowed through Wang Qiyan again, it was blocked again, so it had to flow south, and the river was blocked many times, forming a semi-circular bend, commonly known as the first bay of the Nu River.
Here the river surface is 1710 meters above sea level, located in the three sides of the water in the Kan Barrel Village, more than 50 meters above the Nu River, the terrain is open, the scenery is beautiful, known as the paradise. Peach Blossom Island - located in the east of The Middle Luobazi Zala Barrel Village, surrounded by the Nu River, into a peninsula-like shape, there are many peach blossoms on the island, so it is named. The village still preserves the ancient peach blossom festival.
Enter the Grand Canyon, to the west is Gaoligong Mountain, and to the east is Biluo Snow Mountain. They looked at each other like two majestic men, and the rushing angry river, like a wild and beautiful girl, stirred up their fire-like lust. Xiao Zheng, the project official, humorously said that they were not engaged in a "love triangle".
In the distance, the mountains are colored, and the rhododendron trees are scattered to the sky.
Listen closely to the sound of the water, the sound of the waves responding in the canyon, and the cliffs and waterfalls resonate violently.
At this time, the weather was extremely clear, looking up at the sky of the late autumn canyon, blue without a trace of white clouds. Looking at such a blue sky like the sea, Xiao Zheng was intoxicated, and her gentle song was modeled on Caidan Dolma's "Plateau Autumn Light Infinite Good How to Make People Not Sing" let us immerse ourselves in the scene. Quite infectious. So everyone sang all the way.
. Mountains, canyons, rivers, cliffs, suspension bridges, huts, caves, waterfalls all come into view and follow the river. Looking out of the car window at the Nu River, rushing left and right in the deep gorge, rolling up the rolling white waves. Countless waterfalls hanging high in mountain streams are like hada, leaping down from the top of the cliffs, magnificent and magnificent. It adds infinite vitality and vitality to the steep mountain, and becomes a unique beauty of the Nu River. NuJiang combines male, strange, spiritual, beautiful and dangerous in one. The rushing Nu River sometimes roars and roars, sometimes it is gentle and supple, and it seems to be like an imposing symphony, chanting incessantly.
The Nu River is lined with strange rocks, and a tall pine tree stands on a large stone block in the middle of the river. Let the river wash away. Wow everyone. Xiao Zheng pressed countless shutters on her digital camera. Dr. Zhang, who accompanied us, said that when the river rose, the scenery was even more amazing. Water is the spirit of the river, stone is the soul of the river, let the hearing feel the stone of the water of the Nu River. Only by tasting with the heart and feeling with the heart can we taste the charm.
Some people call the Nu River Grand Canyon a natural exposition of a bridge, with everything from primitive to modern bridges. Our driver, Master Zhang, carefully counted, from Liuku to C zhongluo, there are 48 bridges with different buildings and structures. Since ancient times, the traffic here has been inconvenient, and ziplines have been an indispensable and important transportation facility for the Nu people. Today' zipline representing ancient civilization and the bridge representing modern civilization exist in one space at the same time, giving people a feeling that spans thousands of years of time and space. I heard that the relevant departments are conducting an argument on whether to build a hydropower station on the Nu River. Amen, I pray to leave an last ecological river for our China.
The mountains on both sides of the river are steep and gentle, and the steep places are like knives; The gentle place is only a few tens of meters of slopes, which have been opened into paddy fields by farmers, and it seems that this is already the most fertile field in the Nu River Grand Canyon. In the Nu River Grand Canyon from Liuku to Gongshan County, the "Thousand Feet Landing" house is dotted between the slopes and mountains on both sides of the river. Every other section, a flying stream or stream flows out of the mountains and crosses the road into the Nu River. In the evening, cooking smoke rises from the wooden house, and the sun sets in the west, which has the most poetic charm. Dr. Xu, who went to nujiang to give a lecture, said that the cardiovascular incidence of people living here must be very low, yes, there are many risk factors for cardiovascular diseases that are lacking here. I feel a little comfort for the people who live here.
Continue north along the river, you can see the stone moon on the top of Gaoligong Mountain. The stone moon is a naturally formed cave that penetrates the Gaoligong Mountain, and you can see this stone cave that shines through the blue sky dozens of miles away. In the evening, the cave is very realistic to the fifteenth moon. This is a masterpiece of nature's ingenuity, a gift to the Nu River Grand Canyon, and it is truly breathtaking. We stopped by the side of the road to take pictures.
Gongshan County is the northernmost and most pocket-sized county seat in Yunnan Province, with a total population of just over 30,000 people. The horse gang here is a long-lost cultural landscape, and the TV documentary "The Last Horse Gang" was filmed here. Every year during the opening season, that is, the transportation season, the county town will become lively, and thousands of horses and pots will gather here to deliver supplies to the Dulong River. Dr. Zhang told us that although the Dulongjiang Highway has been built, the Ma gang is not unemployed and is still the main transport force here.
Gava Gapu Peak, meaning tall snow-capped mountain, also known as Chulu Laka Peak, is located in the southwest of Luobazi, Cingzhong, with an altitude of 5128 meters, and is the highest mountain in the Gaoligong Mountain Range. The mountain is covered in snow all year round, with a modern hanging glacier about 3 km long, and the ice tongue edge extends down to 4,000 meters above sea level. The Dulong and Nu tribes living on both sides of the mountain worship this mountain as the birthplace of their ancestors, and the Tibetan masses list it as the first of the ten sacred mountains in Bingzhongluo. In Czhong Luo, this proud snow-capped mountain can only be seen when the weather is clear. On this trip, I had bad luck and happened to encounter the continuous rain in Czhongluo, and I hated not being able to witness the true appearance of this peak.
There are Biluo Snow Mountains in the east of the Nu River, and there are more than 20 peaks above 4,000 meters in the territory of Fugong, Gongshan and Lushui counties. The two mountains are rugged and undulating from north to south, surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
Canyon wonders: The Nu River Canyon has high mountains and rapids, the mountains and valleys are doubly spectacular, and the dangerous canyons are the Shuang Nawady Grand Canyon and the Qi Na Barrel Canyon, located in the upper reaches of the Nu River, from Czhong Luo to The Nachalo of the Qi Na Barrel, about 65 kilometers long, almost an acre of flat land, steep walls on both sides of the river are upright, and the primeval forests on both sides of the mountain are endless. The rocks along the river sometimes cracked, and the rolling stones fell across the river, the water hit the waves, and many holes appeared in the stones, with a diameter of more than 1 meter. The toad stone in the heart of the river is smooth and slippery under the water waves, shining brightly. There are many waterfalls in the Yaguan River on the border between Jiangdong and Tibet, the highest waterfall valley is more than 800 meters high, and the waterfall is more than 10 meters high; Another waterfall, the waterfall valley is more than 400 meters high, there is a waterhole, the water is full of splashes, "waving sprinkles beads, tears blowing waterfall foam", which is amazing. In the Nakarlo section of the Zina Barrel, the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the river are 5,000-6,000 meters high, and the river is only 2,000 meters above sea level. The mountains and valleys are quiet, the weather is ever-changing, and it is a great wonder of the canyon.
There are lakes everywhere, the more famous of which is the Obedience Lake of Gaoligong Mountain in Lushui County; The dry land of the Biluo Snow Mountain in Fugong County is Lake Ibi, Lake Enreybi, and Wazu Low Lake. These alpine lakes are clear and secluded and are made up of many "enchanting lakes" of varying sizes formed by years of glacial erosion. The lakeshore is densely forested with rare birds and animals, ancient trees towering in the sky, pines and trees, and the ancient in the shadows is magnificent.
Here are snow-capped mountains and forests, rapids and waterfalls, rock peaks and gorges, mimi hot springs, zaza caves, and alpine lakes. With the traditional songs of the Lisu people, the bath pond meeting, the knife and pole festival, the Nu "Flower Festival" full of Shenzhou colors, the Dulong cattle sacrifice activities with strong primitive religious colors, and the marriage customs, clothing, food, shelter, funeral rites, sacrifice activities, totem worship and so on of the rich and colorful ethnic customs of various ethnic groups, it has added a lot of interest to the Nu River Grand Canyon.
During the "Bathing Pond Festival", singers from hundreds of miles and ten townships will gather here to sing songs, taste the sweet wine they bring while singing, exchange production and life experience, often for three days and three nights. The Nu river area is blocked by the mountains all year round, and the exchanges between young men and women of the Lisu ethnic group are also blocked in the depths of the mountains, and the annual "Bath Pond Meeting" gives the time and opportunity for exchange, and every year through the "Bath Pond Meeting" acquaintance, friendship, and love, many lifelong partners have been formed.
As one poet wrote:
The blade, slipping from whose fingers, splits the towering mountain into two resting notes at the interval of the cold light,
Don't have a hint of shade on your back? The rocks were tightly wrapped in rattan, and the flames collided between the collapse of the cliffs.
From a height in different directions, the wind lost its name in the unknown truth,
The engraved Stone Age impression suddenly rolled up and soared after falling into the abyss.
The deep cracks of the earth were torn into two hearts in a thud.
You come from Jirepaige in the southern foothills of the Tibetan Plateau, gather the snow and merge into a river, and lead the rapids of the Nu River to fly waterfalls.
The vast path between the rock peaks of the canyon passes through thousands of miles, and the depth of three thousand meters crosses the abdomen of the southwest plateau, and the arrogance is overcollected,
Lying at the top of the world canyon, carrying the original, quaint, mysterious and long Oriental Grand Canyon.
With the rapid rhythm of the water of the Nu River, your feet stepped on the whistling ocean to decipher the incantations of the canyon rocks,
You are desolate, bearing the cracking and colic of the earth's belly, a poignant beauty along your arms and limbs
The struggle in the north-south direction extends like a crack through the rocky mountain body.
Thorns and shrubs sweep over your lonely fault, and the few mountains are covered with a primitive roughness, under the night,
Lisu Hanzi hit the stone and sang, a haunting "Ya Layi" singing the canyon, singing the original hunger and thirst of the father,
Between the broken walls, the ancestors were across the world, and in the desolate weeds, the father's tightly tugged rattan had been stretched
A longing tentacle? It was between the boats and the boats, and the zipline was the only one. The red dust is gone,
Only between the shores, the woman's burning breasts, listening to the breathing of the man by the bed of the soul,
Leaving the canyon in the dewdrops of time, ethereal and lonely.
Because your majesty, the vastness and the standing, my thin shadow in the mountains outside the canyon,
So in a bowl of home-brewed buckwheat wine, I saw myself addicted to the edge of the wet wooden bowl of "sizzling",
The woman who married me made a cup in the corner of the ventilated wooden room, and held her hand into the beam of the canyon,
Then guess who is on the back of the canyon with ten fingers to the sky? Yang Tian shouted the mountain soul, and the river waves rose and fell,
With the direction indicated by the compass of the canyon, the rattan swayed along the rock wall, among the thousands of valleys
In the direction of a hundred turns and a thousand times back to the entanglement of large rivers and canyons.
Standing in your arms, who is afraid of the exhaustion of crossing the river, the reason is that you are also on the left and the right and the shore.
Thousands of years in the strange peaks and tigers roaring dragon groaning stop, refusing to fall into the pain into a permanent landscape,
The wind and rain wrapped in a dusty face towel wiped the vicissitudes of the canyon. Who climbed to the top of the canyon to catch the wind and clouds?
Between the ups and downs of a high ravine, the father and fellow countrymen who live by the mountains are proud in the crevices of the rocks
Collapse out. Oh, the Majestic Grand Canyon of the Nu River! You're flashbacking on the cliffs of the Abrupt Canyon,
With the eagle in the vast plateau, clinging to this side of the mountain.
