Three counties in one step, P-type crossing route guide, super large meadows, many wild animals
A mountain every week. This time, we climbed to three counties in Zhouzhi County and took a P-shaped crossing. The whole journey is 28 kilometers, with a maximum altitude of 2823 meters and a total elevation of 950 meters. This P-type crossing was a near miss. While walking along the beam, I not only encountered takin, but also heard a low roar similar to that of a leopard nearby. I was so frightened that I rolled and crawled. It took 9 hours to complete. The whole journey.
Three Counties at One Foot is a mountain peak at the intersection of Zhouzhi, Mei County and Foping Counties, with a maximum altitude of 2823 meters. It is located deep in the mountains and is inaccessible to people. In the past two years, the local forest management department has repaired the Zhoufo Road that was unfinished in the 1970s, making it easy to climb to the top in one day.
First, navigate to the Qingliang Ancient Temple in Zhouzhi County, then drive 4 kilometers to the forest farm checkpoint. After passing the checkpoint, drive along Zhoufo Road for 27 kilometers and arrive at the entrance of the forest farm road. There is a blue sign at the intersection. The Yonghong Forest Farm Management Sign (there is no sign nearby, making direct navigation inconvenient). There are many beekeepers along Zhoufo Road, and there are dozens or hundreds of beehives in the wide areas.
The road condition of Forest Farm Road is not bad. Because there are collapsed rocks on the road, a small car can drive in for 1 kilometer. An SUV with a high chassis can drive 3-4 kilometers or even further. We are a small car and start walking from the 1km mark.
As the forest farm road goes deeper, the road gradually changes from flat and spacious to overgrown with weeds. There are also individual wild beehives on the cliffs. The honey produced by this kind of honey should be more nutritious. There is a stone bridge built in the 1970s at 3 kilometers, and after 6 kilometers you will reach the fork in the mountain climbing road.
After turning right, it gradually gets higher and higher, walking on the rocky road, and walking for another 4 kilometers, you will reach the pass of the mountain ridge. There are a lot of fresh cow dung, sheep dung, animal hoof prints, and abundant weeds along the road. It can be seen that there are not many people climbing this mountain. There is a section of road on the mountainside where you can see the sea of rocks up close.
This is where the cows grind their skins, and there are many similar scenes along the way.
When you get to Daliang Pass, turn left to cross the route. Turn right and walk another 1 kilometer to reach the top. The large meadows and sea of clouds appeared before our eyes, which was refreshing.
Walking 700 meters up, there is a check-in point --- Sofa Stone. It is shaped like a sofa and looks more like a bed when you lie down on it.
There is a 3-4 meter wooden pole standing on the top of the mountain, which is regarded as a sign of stepping on the top of Sanxian Mountain. On the west side of the top of the mountain, walking along the mountain ridge, you can also cross to Taibai Mountain to reach Tianyuan Place and Shangba Sendai. Therefore, when the weather is clear, you can overlook Baxiandai from a distance.
The entire mountain ridge and the top of the mountain are large areas of meadows, which are thick and dense. There are relatively few animal footprints on this section of the road.
After coming down from the top of the mountain, we started to take the crossing route. The weather today is very gloomy, and rain is forecast at 6 pm. At this time, thick fog had risen and soon filled the top of the mountain.
For the next 5 kilometers of mountain road, we first passed through a vague meadow, entered a 1 kilometer long virgin pine forest, and then walked through a section of meadow. In this section of meadow, we encountered takin. , the takin are relatively docile and can be watched quietly from a distance.
Before entering the woods, especially after entering the woods, pay attention to the road. There are too many weeds and it is easy to get sidetracked. Moreover, we heard a roar that sounded like a leopard (or other big cat) on this section of the road, which really frightened us and made us panic.
Coming out of the woods and going down to the meadow pass, I breathed a sigh of relief. There is a sign here: Telephone Pole, turn left and start going down the mountain.
Go down to Forest Farm Road, turn left and go back. This section of the forest farm road is also very wild, with weeds 1 meter high. The rest is to walk along the forest farm road for 11 kilometers and back to the starting point.
Traveling to three counties in one trip to see the meadows and the sea of clouds, most people return, which is easy and relatively safe. When crossing, be sure to keep an eye on the road, pay attention to wild animals, and walk with caution.
Finally, I give you a famous medicine: Chonglou.
