Hailuogou - glaciers and hot springs embracing the crystal world

Hailuogou Gongga snow is a great place to watch, though not everyone destined to witness the" sunshine Gold Mountain," the spectacular, but at least you can enjoy the wonders of the glacier above the hot springs.

I and Lisa, and two friends, party of four early in the morning from Chengdu to Ya'an by the city into the elegant high-speed, then along State Road 318 west travel. This road is actually drilled after the founding of New China Sichuan-Tibet Highway, Tea-Horse Road is along the south line to go in this direction. After a day of the county, then walk, that is, Erlang, thick mountain mist, Siyu rain, with the mountain road up extension plate, ancient trees, waterfalls, water when the scenery is really charming. When you drive through the Erlang Mountain Tunnel, the sky suddenly see the light, or just light rain started falling, and now even blue skies, described as" off customs different days." Down from the Erlang Mountain, along with the waves rolling down the Dadu River, soon after the bridge, mill town on the West to see the table, before more than 1 pm.

Hailuogou Moxi town in the vicinity, located in the east slope of Mt. Had heard that there are three Aspect Hailuogou landscape: sunshine Jinshan, glaciers pouring and Niseko springs. It was early, after we take a break to visit Glacier National Forest Park. For environmental and safety considerations, is now out of the car is not allowed to enter, and can only take the scenic area of ​​environmentally friendly vehicles. Hiking in Glacier Forest Park is the whole not a good choice because the door into a large section of the winding mountain road, far enough, not only tired but also a waste of time.

green car halfway also met up a Tibetan Buddhist monks practice hole, once there was a very great Buddha in this practice, and now is hosted by Living Buddha in the tenth generations of disciples. Fellow passengers have come to burn incense in the hole, and several even went to Tibetan religious exchange. So everyone on the bus, move on for a while to reach the summit parking lot. Need to get off after about 45 minutes on foot, there is ice on the road, there is a fellow woman even the soles are gone. A pedestrian through the dense vegetation, old trees towering forests, and finally saw the lowest elevation on Earth with latitude glaciers, and is well-known large ice falls. Canada's world-famous Glacier National Park waterfall drop of 1,100 meters of ice, and drop 1080 m Hailuogou large ice falls favorably. Numerous very large radiant ice, Zhixie down from blue sky, as if heaven and earth of a galaxy, crystal clear, magnificent magnificent.

Glacier Forest Park back from feeling a little tired, just go to Camp II hot springs. Open-air pool, light blue spring water level by level down from the mountain stream, the water temperature decrease with height slowly down. Clear, warm spring, exudes a smell of sulfur. From the lowest one at 38 ℃ pond bubble up, 42 ℃ of the pond a bit hot, as to 43 ℃ of the pond, it is just going to have to come up, not in it for more than 10 seconds, most people are concentrated in 38 ℃ ~ 41 ℃ in the pool. Hot Springs is not a lot of people inside, most people are lazy, quiet bubble. Bathed in the depths of Niseko" soup" of the eye can see, only the nearby snow-capped mountains and mountains of snow and ice disappeared, and the transpiration of white mist mountain, as if to a wonderland.

case heard only good weather to see" Sunshine Gold Mountain" and is the fourth best place to camp , was early in the morning rush past. Companion felt too hard, they may not be able to see, to go does not matter. But Lisa and I decided to see the sunrise 5 am the next day. Ride from Camp II to Camp III, from the 3rd camp just 15 minutes by cable car to reach fourth camp, eliminating foot fatigue pain. I believe that the dear friend who did not and we must be repentant to the same, because when you came to the foot of morning, snow-capped mountains in the cold waiting scratch sunrise, waiting for dawn painted it a little bit of gold, the kind of looking forward to the process and sense of the sacred is not in the picture can feel. Which now are also grateful to the little bit of persistence.
