What are the interesting places in Nujiang Prefecture?
The ancients once described the Nujiang River as "full of angry stones and mountains wanting to fly". In the world, there are two grand canyons that can be compared with the Nujiang Grand Canyon. In terms of length, the Nujiang Grand Canyon is about 600 kilometers from Jiayu Bridge in Tibet to Yuejin Bridge in Lushui County. If it is further extended, it can increase100km, which is nearly twice as long as the famous Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States and 212km longer than the Grand Canyon along the Yarlung Zangbo River in Grand Bend. According to this standard, it can be called the largest canyon in the world. However, if we look at the relative height difference of the valley, the Nujiang Gorge has a maximum height difference of 4500m, the Colorado Gorge 1740m and the Yarlung Zangbo River is 6000m, and the Nujiang Grand Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world.
Nujiang River originated in Jirenbo at the southern foot of Tanggula Mountain in Tibet. The upstream Tibetan language is called "Naqu", which means Heishui River. Nujiang River enters Yunnan from Gongshan, and is sandwiched by Gaoligong Mountain and Robbie Snow Mountain in the north-south direction. The highest peak of Gaoligong Mountain is Churulaka Peak in Gongshan County, which is 4640 meters above sea level, while Lujiang Bazi is only 600 meters above sea level, forming the Nujiang Grand Canyon with an average relative height difference of more than 2000 meters-known as "the first grand canyon in the East".
How did the Southern Silk Road, which was more than 200 years earlier than the Western Silk Road, cross the natural barrier Nujiang River-the three cable bridges of Shuanghong, Huitong and Huiren. They faithfully recorded the history of the Chinese nation's exploration of the world. Unfortunately, the two bridges of Huitong and Huiren are historical dust, and only the double Hongqiao built by 1789 connects the two mountains.
Walking along the river, the canyon is steeper and steeper, and the Nujiang River is raging, setting off huge waves like snow. The gloomy weather and clouds of different shades wander on the cliffs on both sides like ghosts, making the canyon more profound and mysterious. This is the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge and the most steep section of the Nujiang Grand Canyon.
Fugong is the settlement of Nu and Lisu. Whenever guests arrive, there will be songs. While singing beautiful songs, beautiful girls frequently propose toasts to their guests-various names-concentric wine and get a glass of wine ... and the way of drinking is different. Let's say "concentric wine". It must be men and women holding their necks and drinking a glass of wine together.
The main idea of the lyrics is: drink, dear! Wine is the nectar brewed by heaven and earth. It is rare to meet today, and Ganlu left an unforgettable affection in my heart. Drink it, dear. ...
Girls will serve the guests the best dustpan rice and put the rice in a woven dustpan with beef and various seasonings and vegetables on it. Everyone sat around and grabbed food with their hands. Vegetables are mostly wild vegetables, and there is also a kind of bamboo leaf vegetables, which are collected from snow-capped mountains. They are a little bitter, but crisp and refreshing. This shows that the Lisu brothers have an extraordinary understanding of the wild animal world. The more tense the atmosphere, the girls and boys will dance. The ever-changing dance steps, loud and moving songs, exude endless temptations, making you unconsciously walk into the carnival crowd and dance. That is a rhyme, that is the melody of life.
In Nujiang Gorge, "Shiyue" has a loud and attractive name. On the mountain, the clouds are covered with fog, and it rains and rains. Suddenly I saw a strange peak rising, and the middle and lower parts of the peak suddenly opened, revealing blue sky and white clouds, like a moon hanging. You can imagine, at night, through the cave, the moon and stars shine there, what a wonderful sight it will be. The continuous peaks are all marble, which is a hole made of natural marble. It doesn't look big. In fact, this hole is 100 meters deep, about 60 meters high and 40 meters wide. Don't say it's all cliffs. It is impossible to climb that mountain only for a whole day. Above the canyon, the sky is like a blue river and white clouds are like birds in a hurry; The Nujiang River roared, and the silver waves soared on the rapids.
Gongshan Dulong Autonomous County is located on the cliff on the west bank of Nujiang River. This is the narrowest place where the three rivers flow side by side, typical of high mountains and deep valleys. Snow-capped mountains and silver peaks flow in the blue river. Dulong is a minority with only more than 4000 people, living in Dulong River Grand Canyon. Start from Dandang County and continue to the north. In this section, the Nujiang River is often only 10-20 meters wide, and the narrowest part of the canyon is less than 100 meters, but there are thousands of waters on both sides of Qian Shan. When I first entered the Nujiang River, Robbie Snow Mountain on the east coast was often bare, but Gaoligong Mountain on the west coast was green and azaleas were dazzling red. However, after entering Liuku, the forest appeared in Robbie Snow Mountain, and the vegetation gradually became dense. After Dandang, the mountains on both sides of the river are green and the Grand Canyon is green and refreshing. In the forest, there are often cottages where Nu compatriots live together. On the hillside where the flowers are blooming, the smoke from the kitchen is curling up.
After the turn, the canyon suddenly opened, and in the blue sky in the distance, there were thousands of silver lines in generate, a pyramid-like snow-capped mountain. Not far away, the green grass slowly rises and falls, sheep graze leisurely on the grass, sparse Woods cover three or two villages, and blue bright flowers are in full bloom. ...
This is the place of Bingzhongluo, the legendary paradise on earth-Shangri-La.
