24-hour weather forecast in Fugu
If you simply experience the magnificent scenery of the Yellow River Grand Canyon in Shanxi and Shaanxi, you can take a shortcut to the south of Yumenkou to go home. After Yanchuan, Qingjian, Suide, Mizhi, Yulin and Erdos, you can complete the cycling task in more than one day. In order to perfectly feel the Shanxi and Shaanxi customs on both sides of the Yellow River, we decided to take an extra day to go north from Hancheng, Shaanxi Province to Fugu County.
There are some problems in this way. Because the road in Shanxi was not smooth, we crossed the river to Shaanxi in advance when we went down the mountain, which led to a return trip of more than 400 kilometers from Yumenkou to Jiaxian. Not only unreasonable, unhappy, but also wasted a precious day's travel time. There is nothing to see on the road, so we have to hurry.
Fortunately, the beautiful scenery pays off and you can learn more about it. Although the 800-mile river belongs to northern Shaanxi and the landform is deep valley loess plateau, there are still obvious natural climate changes.
At present, it is roughly bounded by Gankun Bay, and the vegetation in the north has not turned green on a large scale. The barren hills in Tuling are obvious, and even the lowlands in the valley and the jujube forests with sunny leeward have not sprouted. The south has completely entered the early summer solar terms, with new green trees and slopes, and wild flowers of all colors competing to bloom; The flowering period of apple trees has passed, and finger-sized green fruits are densely covered with branches.
Strangely, the crop groups on both sides of the north-south line are obviously different. Take the economic tree as an example. There are mountains and plains in the north, and red dates and begonia are all on the beach in the valley. Many jujube trading companies have been established in towns and villages. The southern part of the country gradually transited to the apple forest belt, and the tree gardens on the loess slope are adjacent to each other, and many high-standard trading markets have been established in the gullies.
Naturally, there are differences in rural customs. From north to south, dwellings have changed from caves with warm winter and cool summer to brick houses with sunny lee. Highway ancillary facilities, the north advocates stone culture, pavilions, guardrails are carved from khaki sedimentary rocks, simple and heavy; Modern building materials such as steel and glass are used in the south, which is gorgeous and heroic. However, this is only a superficial observation, and the real reason is that it is just passing by and I don't know much about it.
When I came out in the morning, it was already dark, especially in the direction of riding. Dark clouds were pressing the city and mountains and rains were coming. The weather forecast says that the cold snap will go south these two days, with many storms and great psychological pressure. Panlong Bay, Yanshuiguan and Taiji Bay did not stop and accelerated northward. I wanted to catch more than 30 kilometers yesterday and stay in Yanshuiguan Town. I looked, and there was no suitable hotel. I'm glad this decision is decisive.
At the intersection of Gaojiagua tableland, there are scenic spots in the north, climbing mountains. The mountain road is narrow and steep, but the garden is wide. This is the highest point of view, and you can have a panoramic view of the loess plateau surrounded by ravines on the first floor of the Tibetan Snow Building. The misty mountains, like a rolling sea, extend to the sky.
In front of the building is a tourist center with complex structure and proper greening. The archway and door floors of the scenery in the north are stacked, and the functional imitation Tang buildings are connected together. Mao Zedong portrait monument and northland scenery poem monument stand among the pine and cypress trees under the high platform. White marble railings surround the steps, forming walls on the south, east and north sides, which are luxurious and beautiful.
The modern square behind the building is spacious and empty, and the palace-style poetry hall stands opposite the snow-covered building at the end of the square. On the west side of the square, there are hundreds of meters of huge mountains and rivers poems, which combine with the romantic character corridor to form a closed western boundary.
According to the geographical conditions, the whole scenic spot is reasonably designed, large in scale and grand in ostentation and extravagance. The integration with the surrounding environment vividly shows the heroic artistic conception of Qinyuan Spring Snow.
Probably because of the epidemic, the scenic spot was closed, but there were no restrictions on sightseeing except the exhibition hall. There are workers taking care of flowers and trees in the yard, and there are also small-scale projects under construction. A group of beautiful women dressed in fashion are playing in the shade. They should be tour guides or pavilion staff, so they don't talk much because they are far away.
Northland scenery is located 45 kilometers east of Qingjian County. Starting from the birthplace of Mao Zedong's poem "Spring in the Qinyuan Snow", with the theme of northland scenery and leaders' elegant demeanor, magnificent buildings such as the Snow House, the Mao Zedong Poetry Hall, the romantic corridor and the modern square were built.
Tibetan Snow House is a 43.2-meter-high tower, which looks like the Tang Dynasty. It is the observation deck of the scenic spot, with Mao Zedong's life and personal charm as the theme. The Poetry Museum displays Mao Zedong's poems and calligraphy, documents related to the Red Army's eastward expedition, and local folk culture.
Because I stayed in the scenic spot for a long time, I didn't stop to have a rest after going down the mountain. Look at the sign on the roadside. There is the former residence of President Mao Zedong, but I haven't seen the specific place for a long time. Wubao County did not stop. It went around the north of the city along the river. At eleven o'clock, it went to the Yellow River Erqi Sightseeing Gallery to rest.
Only a few photos of Long Yin Station of the Yellow River were left along the way. Except for the fence in the form of the chest-high Great Wall arrow crib, all the scenic spots are stone pavilions, and the banks of the river are neatly trimmed jujube forests. The situation in the canyon is not much different from other places. I wonder why it has such a domineering name.
On the other side of Erqi in Shaanxi Province is Qikou Town in Shanxi Province. Because of the short distance, you can see the bustling tourists and seem to hear the buzzing voices. Qikou came here specially a few years ago. On the way back from Henan, I passed Liulin and missed Lijiashan Village in Wuhuali, a little south. There was a plan this time, but I stood you up again because of the road construction there. Maybe next time.
I was dreaming, and a classmate called to say that my mother had passed away, to see if I had time to pay homage. Alas, his mother is my teacher and my father's colleague. We are friends of father, teachers, students and classmates. After decades of friendship, it's a pity that you can't kneel down and send it away. Suddenly, sadness fell from the sky and the whole person was not well. Zhaizi went to the nearby village and felt unwell, dizzy and stomachache. Zaolin improved after a convenient rest.
I arrived in jia county at noon, but I couldn't find a hotel along the Yellow Highway. It is very convenient to cross the river to Hook Town, Shaanxi Province, without going into the city. As a result, there was only a stall selling cold rice noodles, and I didn't like to continue on my way, so I was extremely depressed. After the temporary epidemic prevention checkpoint at the entrance of Nihegou Village was withdrawn, tables, chairs and benches were left in front of the office, so you can stop and eat some dry food.
Going down, the clouds are getting thicker and thicker. When we arrived at the observation deck of Fenghuang Mountain, it seemed that it began to rain sporadically, but it did not affect viewing and taking pictures. This is the boundary of Shenmu. The riverbed of the Yellow River is very wide, and a large area of sandbars has been formed in the canyon. Water is squeezed under the cliff in Shanxi, which looks like a canal in the distance.
The observation deck and the mountain are separated only by a yellow road, which is also paved with square bricks and bounded by white jade railings. Standing on the wooden balcony, you can't see the deeply cut river, but you can see the mountain scenery on both sides of the Yellow River. There are temples, blue brick houses and high cornices on the highest side of Shenmu.
This kind of scenery can be seen not far from the peak on the Shaanxi side of the Shanxi-Shaanxi Yellow River Grand Canyon. Some of them are very large, spanning several hills, and the gullies are connected by overpass corridors. Everyone is like a visitor from heaven, full of mystery and showing its profound historical and cultural heritage.
Unfortunately, due to time and weather, I didn't go to see any of them. I have observed that I walked around Shanxi a few days ago and went to visit when I came back from grinding. It was another break of my word. In fact, it's not such an imaginary problem, mainly because you are old and lazy. After all, I don't know where those beautiful pavilions are going.
Wearing rain gear didn't go far and went to the observation deck. I plunged into the rain and fog, and the intermittent rain lasted for more than an hour. The body is cold and shivering, and the motorcycle gasoline indicator light starts to alarm, which is very stressful.
The stage in liujiawan village is on the side of the road, stopping to take shelter from the rain. An 80-year-old dad was there. Judging from the hoe in his hand, he should have just come out of the field after the rain. The hoarse voice told me that Fugu County is far away, but the gas station in Pantang Village is very close. It can be expressed by the distance and kilometers of the old road. It is clear that the old man was also a long-distance traveler when he was young, which is more clear than the young people who asked by the roadside before.
The beach in front of the stage is full of jujube trees, and the dense jujube forest is completely hoed, but there is not a weed. Elephants in loose soil have just turned over, and short-stemmed crops such as kidney beans are planted between slightly wide ridges. The idea of land and gold is everywhere, which makes me feel kind, comfortable and admired.
There are few flat and fertile floodplains like this in the loess plateau of northern Shaanxi, which are basically large slopes and depressions with little rain. However, farmers are very diligent, and they should farm in ditches whenever possible. People standing on the hillside at an altitude of 60-70 degrees will feel dizzy, but they still plant jujube trees, trim them neatly and hoe the ground in place.
The mountains are covered with terraced fields, and the amount of labor is too great to calculate, but they just chew them down with their hands. This kind of hardship is unimaginable. It was a miracle.
A group of unknown motorcycle friends passed the stage in the rain. I said goodbye to my father and continued on the road. Pantang Village is the intersection of many national highways, with complete functional facilities such as garage and gas station. After refueling, you can ride to the Gudu observation deck in Wanjiachuan. Here, the water is wide, the beach is gentle, the river is in the middle of the canyon, and the vortex is swift. I saw a beautiful scenic spot on the cliff, climbed halfway up the mountain, changed my mind and went straight to the county seat, and finally realized an invisible mountain top landscape miracle.
Fugu County was divided into two by isolated mountains and rivers, and the left side of the city turned for a long time without seeing the hotel. Begging people to tell many people who cross the bridge. The hotel I'm looking for just opened after the epidemic, and it's not well prepared and inconvenient to eat and stay.
