Western Sichuan---See what I see and hear

Going west has a direction and a plan.

But in fact, this trip was very casual and there were many temporary changes.

The first day (08.15, Saturday) - Yingxiu

Departing from Chongqing, the time is almost 9 o'clock, not too late, let alone early.

The first stop was expected to be Dujiangyan, where we would rest on the spot after looking at the water and mountains. Unfortunately, we were unable to book tickets for the scenic spots. During the post-epidemic period, we didn’t know what the control measures for the scenic spots were, so we had to miss it.

I arrived in Yingxiu at around 3 pm. Even though 12 years have passed since the earthquake, I can still feel the sadness here, and so does God, with heavy drizzle.

The tour guide who provided commentary at the epicenter memorial left after listening to a few words. They explained it very well, but so what, why should we vividly reproduce the tragic scene of that year. If anyone who lost a loved one in that disaster would be willing to listen to this explanation.

We just want to freeze time there, and freeze the disaster, so that future generations can mourn. Just to commemorate, not to miss.

This is a natural disaster and a karma.

The next day (8.16, Sunday) - Malkang

I was woken up by the sound of rain in the morning. The accommodation was quite quiet, it was a B&B.

Outside the window, the rain was falling thickly, and the forecast said it would be heavy rain. The plan was to take the small loop route. We were supposed to go to Siguniang Mountain today. Because of the rain, and because the navigation showed that the road from Xiaojin to Danba was closed (both AutoNavi and Baidu showed it), the small loop route was interrupted, so the trip was cancelled. As for Bipenggou, on the other side of Siguniang Mountain, I originally planned to go there, but the weather showed that it was also raining in Li County, so I had no choice but to go north in western Sichuan, where the weather seemed to be pretty good.

So, next stop, Malcon. Destination: Seda.

Along the way, the highway was closed due to landslides, and we basically took the national highway, along the river, with surging water. What's even more shocking is that the road has been closed for 24 hours and is now allowed to pass in one direction. On the left is the roaring river, and on the right is scattered sand and gravel.

When we arrived at Malkang, we went up to the third floor without taking the elevator. My heart beat faster and I was out of breath. It was only 2500m. I was even more tired from the journey, so I had to stop first. These are two road views from the accommodation, one night and one morning.

The third day (8.17, Monday) - on the road to Seda

Rain is still raining. After breakfast, we choose to set off and go to Seda.

There are many landslides on National Highway 317, which is very dangerous. There are still scattered pebbles falling when passing by at one place. After it is quiet, we start crossing. The traffic control personnel also said not to stop and rush over.

In this way, the navigation showed a journey of more than 5 hours, and we walked for a whole day. Passing through Guanyin Town on the way, I wanted to go to the Guanyin Temple, but unfortunately because of the rain, tiredness, and the sheep intestines displayed on the navigation, I gave up and went straight to Seda.

After passing Onda Town and getting off the bus to register, the scenery started to be beautiful along the way and the weather gradually cleared up.

Outside, the barley is turning yellow in patches.

There are also white towers that can be seen everywhere, and small towers made of stones that can be seen everywhere, and people turning towers can be seen at any time.

This is the Buddhist country.

Day 4 (8.18, Tuesday) - Seda: Dongga Temple, Muyunding

Panoramic view of Dongga Temple

Muyun Peak, 3900 meters above sea level +, you can drive to the middle of the mountain, and there are hiking trails in the rest of the way

Go to the top to see Seda, two panoramic photos

Day 5 (8.19, Wednesday)

Weather: Sunny.

Larong Temple is not open to the public. To be precise, it is not open to people outside Ganzi Prefecture.

In desperation, we followed the advice of the locals and started our journey over the mountain. It takes a lot of courage to climb mountains in Seda, which is nearly 4000m above sea level. Especially for people like me, who arrived at the Seda Kamba Hotel the night before and there were people with high fever.

There is nothing to say. Once it comes, just translate it.

Finally, I saw you.
