Chapter 354 Sky Mirror
Continue driving westward. October is the season when the rape flowers in Qinghai Lake are most prosperous. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, white clouds and Qilian Snow Mountain, the golden color that stretches for thousands of miles looks extremely colorful, like a huge oil painting, which is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
Looking around, the composition of large golden color blocks everywhere gives people rich associations and is full of romantic atmosphere unique to the west. Unlike the rape flowers in spring, they are not as delicate and weak as the rapeseed flowers.
Perhaps it is growing in the northwest, with more wanton and ostentatious, more grand, more radiant, and more visual shock. Only by being in it can you truly experience that momentum. You find that Qilian Mountain is very suitable for driving, driving freely, and the scenery along the way is unlimited.
Drive along the way, Johnson came to Zhuoer Mountain Scenic Area. The mountains in the distance were undulating and full of momentum, and were often lingering with the misty clouds and mists. The nearby ones were yellow and green, and the colors were bright, and with the pure blue sky, these strong colors were quietly intertwined, so beautiful, but so natural.
When I got off the bus, I couldn't help but be in the gorgeous and vivid rape flowers, which naturally became an indispensable embellishment in the scroll.
The sky is blue and distant, as clean as the sea. Under the reflection of the blue sky, the bright yellow color of rapeseed flowers is particularly eye-catching. In this colorful scene, you begin to get drunk until you get lost.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can experience another kind of majesty. The view here is extremely wide and there is no obstacle around. You can look around and exhale the turbid air to cleanse the body and mind.
From a distance, the wide road became a winding ribbon, and the slowly moving car on the road added a lively touch to this huge painting.
The rocks here are very distinctive and red, because Zhuoer Mountain belongs to the Danxia landform and consists of red sandstone and conglomerate. It has a very nice Tibetan name called Zongmuma Giama, which means the beautiful ruddy queen.
The rosy mountain is filled with a hint of mystery. There is also a beautiful legend in the local area that Zhuoer Mountain and Niu Xin Mountain are a couple with deep affection. Zongmuma Yama was originally a princess in the Yilong Realm. An accidental encounter made her fall deeply in love with the mountain god who guarded the place, the extraordinary heroic Ami Dongsu.
So she boldly offended the rules of heaven, broke through many obstacles, and married Amidongsu as her concubine. Although the Dragon King and his wife firmly opposed their marriage, Zongmumaya still chose to stay in the world. Of course, she also paid the price for this and turned into a stone mountain. From then on, she and Amidongsu were across the river, accompanied each other for life, and never left each other.
Although Johnson has seen rapeseed flowers in other places, no matter which rapeseed flowers in any place, they are not as colorful as here. When driving in this picturesque scenery, there will be a feeling of carriages and people swimming in the painting.
Just find a place where rape flowers are more beautiful, slowly enter the flower field, and under the breeze, large areas of rape flowers are dancing constantly, and the rustling sound seems to be gently telling your dazzling and vibrant nature.
In fact, sometimes driving by yourself is the best choice for travel, with a sea of flowers and fragrance all the way. There is no need to hurry up, just savor the beauty along the way and feel the ruggedness and heroism that belongs to the northwest.
The villages in the distance are like paradise, spreading quietly at the foot of the mountain. The white walls and red tiles make the colors here richer. The wind and clouds rise, blocking the sun from time to time, leaving a shadow on the grassland. Such changes in light and shadow are fascinating.
The grand Qilian Mountains are like an elegant man, quietly looking at the grassland in front of you with a white scholar's hat. The more you go to the hinterland of the grassland, you will see the master of the grassland - cattle and sheep. They are leisurely and cheerful here, and from time to time, making cheerful calls.
The roads in Qilian area are very generous. Perhaps because of the altitude, the sky in Qilian does not look high. The straight road extends forward, connecting the sky and the earth, like a road of heaven.
There is no one on the road, and walking in it, the world is leisurely, and the passers-by feel arise in a hurry. Continue to see a green grassland. Unlike the bustle in front, there is a sense of tranquility here. Under its call, even the mountains in the distance have closed their sharp edges and become more delicate.
Suddenly there was a group of cattle and sheep ahead. They walked slowly forward, naturally stopping all passing cars, as if they were swearing their sovereignty.
Perhaps this world is really vast, and no matter what kind of mood you come, you can be comforted here. With a little cool breeze, a warm sun, and a view that is beyond your limits, this world is not necessarily yours, but it can inexplicably soothe all negative emotions and gently soothe and encourage you...
Arriving at Chaka Salt Lake, a rich and beautiful natural salt lake, known as the mirror of the sky, is a famous natural crystal salt lake in the Qaidam Basin. The lake surface is vast and the scenery is pleasant. The clean lake surface makes the reflections under your feet clear and beautiful. This is a clean and pure place.
Taking the train deep into the lake is like entering a world of salt. Walking on the lake, you will see the waters are wide, with silver waves, white clouds, rugged mountains, and snow-capped mountains, like poetry and picturesque.
Rather than being a mirror of the sky, it is a illusion. The lake surface is like a magic mirror, which makes the sky and the earth reverse. To truly gain a glimpse of the sky, it requires a clear weather, and the sunlight will make the mirror effect more obvious. At the same time, it also needs to go deep into the center of the lake and reach places with few people.
There are many large-scale artistic salt carvings in the Salt Carving Square, including images of Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Fei, and the mountain god, which are vividly portrayed. Each salt carving is a big deal. The salt carvings with various legendary characters as the theme stand in front of you, which is very shocking.
In particular, the lifespan of the salt carving is longer than that of the sand carving, and it stands in the open world, allowing the wind to blow and sun.
At night, the stars are shining, reflected in the salt lake, beautiful and magnificent. The starry sky and the lake surface are integrated, as if entering a fairy tale world. When you are in it, you forget the passage of time and even forget to be in the world.
In addition to the lake, there is also the railway track leading to the center of the lake. This railway track was built in 1958 and some of the railway tracks were produced in 1904. 2 The small train on the railway track completed its industrial mission, but the scenery that left behind this crossing the salt lake has even become a romantic art in the eyes of travelers and photographers.
The empty salt lake, two straight rails, and the tilted telephone poles are like the doomsday scene in the movie. As the light changes, the scene is like a theater for a love movie.
I still remember that in Chihiro, Chihiro and the faceless man were riding on a small train shuttled across the sea level. The pedestrians were in a hurry and their bodies were numb. In contrast, the white clouds outside the window and the scenery of the sea and sky were all the same. What was touching was the refreshing and slightly sad scene, or the meaning behind the story, but this little red train floating on the sea is unforgettable.
When you really take the small train from Chaka Salt Lake, this scene may also appear in your mind.
