Americans and China share the high Gong Li in early spring.

After a whole winter's soaking, the winter clothes in February have already faded quietly, replaced by a pink and willow green tulle, which stirred this bustling spring and spread it on the earth bit by bit. Silent trees wake up, jubilant branches bloom, rotten grass is bluer, birds are whispering, flowers are blooming … Everywhere is full of hope and vitality.

The sunshine at noon in early spring always makes people feel warm and cherished. If watching flowers bloom in the sun is a good way to kill this time, then you can feel the enthusiasm of spring on foot. Taking advantage of the sunshine, I followed the pace of the "Tengchong Lv Wen" mountaineering team to climb Gaoligong Mountain.

On the way, the winding path hovers on the mountainside, just like a dragon hovering here, guarding the water and soil here. Looking down from the height, there are terraced fields, which are in the season of local tobacco planting. It is white, if it is hung on the mountain with a string of silver chains, if it is surrounded by white jade clouds. If you come here in the morning, the sun is slightly fish-belly white, the faint pink light shines on the tobacco fields, and large terraces are shrouded in clouds, just like climbing the ladder from earth to heaven, which is very spectacular and beautiful.

Our group meandered along Stilwell Road (Old Baoteng Highway) and reached the entrance of Gaoligongshan National Forest Park, 8 1km (Big Snake Waist). Eighty-one kilometers is the ridge line of Gaoligong Mountain, and it is also the dividing line between Longyang District of Baoshan City and Tengchong City. "One mountain has four seasons, and ten miles are different." The altitude here suddenly rose from 1000 meters at the foot of the mountain to more than 2600 meters. At a lower altitude, the Longchuan River is rolling and there are rich trees halfway up the mountain. At 8 1 km, there are more alpine shrubs and Ma Yinghua (azalea).

There are many wild big beasts on the ridge line. Although we didn't have a chance to see them on this trip, we can often see warning signs marked with wild animals on mountain roads. I have to mention that 8 1 km is the place where many travelers punch in. When you climb here and look south, Gaoligong Mountain lingers. Looking from a distance, Longjiang Bridge comes into view, shaped like a jade belt, like a dragon, spreading its wings.

The azaleas on the mountain have blossomed and withered. Those in bud, those in full bloom and those scattered on the ground all have different charms. Together, it becomes a beautiful painting, and these flowers show the splendor of red to the extreme.

After some trimming, we can't wait to walk into the forest covered with red flowers in Yingshan, and the winding ancient road winds away, passing through 598 factory-Huanghsinchu-Yezhutang fork-tent camp fork-observation deck rest area-ancient beacon tower-Buddhist temple-Liangjiang scenic spot-Ma Yinghua scenic spot-small local fork, and * * * completed ten on foot. Guided by tireless trails, we climbed over the hills, sometimes stopped to shoot, sometimes looked out, and recorded the beautiful scenery belonging to Gaoligong Mountain while walking.

Walking in the virgin forest of Gaoligong Mountain, you can see the deep ravine beside the trail, which is the trace left by the ancient caravan walking. After years of baptism, it is very heavy. Withered azaleas scattered on the ancient road, covered all the way, sad and romantic, trudging on the ancient post road, as if returning to the era of ringing bells. Now the bustling ancient road has become a silent history book, sleeping in the mountains.

Stepping on a mossy slate, I don't know the fallen leaves that have accumulated for thousands of years. Moss and fallen leaves cover the ancient road, which is deep and distant; Overhead are towering trees that cover the sky, and bundles of sunlight pass through branches and leaves and overflow from sporadic gaps. What haunts my ears is the singing of insects and birds. "You can sing and I will go on stage." Close your eyes and bathe in the sunshine, and you can enjoy a natural and wonderful "forest concert". Walking here, it may be difficult for you to meet rare animals unexpectedly, but you can get in close contact with rare and protected plants, as if you have entered the world of Avatar.

After passing the rest area of the observation deck, standing on the stone platform and looking out, the distant mountains are reflected in front of you, as if you can reach out and touch them. Clouds wander in the mountains, mountains carry clouds, clouds hold, and there is a masculine trend between heaven and earth. If you come here, you will be shocked by the peaks and quiet scenery in Jun Gao. Looking from a distance, the mountains are undulating, the trees are lush, and the eagle is hovering among the white clouds ... This makes me really feel the poet Du Fu's poem: "Looking down at the mountains and rivers, I am relaxed and happy, ups and downs, and I have a glance."

Mr. Xu Xiake, a traveler in Ming Dynasty, climbed Gaoligong Mountain twice. The traveler's behavior has been appreciated by later generations, and now he has disappeared in the vicissitudes of Shan Ye. Over the years, this ancient and magical mountain has left the footprints of countless tourists, who climbed here with awe of the mountain, adding a bit of mystery to it.

Starting from the Buddhist temple is walking down the mountain. The trees in Gaoligong Mountain echo the mountain stream. Everywhere you go, you can see the stream trickling, and the clear and bright spring water trickling on the mossy stone, like a cold woman lying in the forest, letting the baptism of years. If you pick a leaf and drink it in a sweet spring, it will definitely make you feel a refreshing coolness.

All the way down the mountain, we reached the last stop, a natural village called "Little Place", which was completely embraced by the mother of Gaoligongshan. The natural vegetation around the village is lush, and we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Gaoligong Mountain wherever we go. The average altitude here is 2 100 meters, the annual average temperature is 16.7 degrees Celsius, and the annual average rainfall is 2000 mm. It is a typical alpine Liangshan area, and its special geographical location makes it an excellent place for hikers to transit and rest.

There is a farmhouse in the village, where you can taste the most distinctive bacon hot pot and special horseradish dishes. The wasabi mentioned here is a special edible health plant, and the raw material of mustard is a very precious seasoning food, which is expensive and has great market demand. Because of the special growth conditions of wasabi and the limited places suitable for growing and planting, the wasabi you can taste here is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition and has many pharmacological effects. This is enough to make your taste buds and food have an amazing encounter.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the trees on the mountain are lush, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, just like a spring oil painting, with soft colors and elegant lines. From the black on the top of the mountain, the turquoise on the mountainside, the light green at the foot of the mountain, to the yellow rape at the foot of the mountain, the layers are distinct and ingenious.

Walking into Gaoligong Mountain, east of the Five Rivers, is like walking into a long-axis picture of a huge mountain soul. You are greeted by mysterious virgin forests and fickle birds and beasts, as well as the three-dimensional climate of "one mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles are different from the sky" and the beautiful mountain flowers that do not fade in four seasons. Strolling along the moss-covered ancient road, wiping away the broken historical sites washed away by the years, and stopping at the beacon tower left over from the Anti-Japanese War, you can appreciate the all-inclusive nature of Wuhe Mountain and the vicissitudes of Gaoligong Mountain.
