The highway from Heimahe Township to Ningcheng happens to be on the bank of Qinghai Lake.
And Qinghai Lake.
The lake is vast, blue and ethereal, surrounded by mountains, and the vast grassland has beautiful and poetic scenery.
Admiring the beautiful scenery, the group arrived at Ningcheng at noon.
Since there were only five days left for Li Yanxue's vacation, everyone decided to return.
After visiting Kumbum Monastery on the way, we left the national highway and entered the provincial highway.
From Ningcheng to Ganjia Grassland in Gannan.
Let’s talk about the Kumbum Temple in Ningcheng.
The temples are stacked on top of the mountain, winding and undulating, well-proportioned and majestic. Inside the temple are towering ancient trees and numerous pagodas.
The lifelike butter flower sculptures of Kumbum Monastery are famous far and wide.
It's just that everyone has just returned from the snowy area, and their enthusiasm for the Buddhist temple is no longer high.
I just took a quick tour and continued on my way.
The Ganjia Grassland in Gannan was originally magnificent and picturesque.
But there were too many grasslands along the way, and everyone was a little tired of aesthetics, so they didn’t stay too much.
Finally, we headed south and stayed in Langmusi Town.
The next morning, everyone faced the same problem again.
How to play? Where to play?
Some people suggest going to Langmusi first, then to Ruoergai, and then directly to Chuanzhusi Town via Aba Grassland.
Some people also suggest going directly from Ruoergai to Jiuzhaigou.
The discussion was very lively for a while.
While everyone was having a heated discussion, Xiao Hua suddenly said something.
"I heard that there is a place called Jiangzha Township dozens of kilometers away, and there is Jiangzha Hot Spring there."
Xiao Hua said nothing more after saying this.
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what Xiao Hua meant.
"I said Liangdan, can you be a little creative?"
"There are no hot springs anywhere? Why do you have to travel so far to soak in the hot springs?".
Shen Hu was very puzzled by Xiao Hua's meaningless words and looked at a loss.
"That's right, what's there to soak in the hot spring?"
"Have you not had enough bathing in our hot springs in Yunling? If you don't want to go, don't go."
Lao Su even denied it directly. Where are the hot springs? Why go so far to soak in a hot spring?
Huang Ming looked at Xiao Hua with some confusion.
He felt that Xiao Hua still had something to say, so he asked further.
"There is a Jiangzha Hot Spring dozens of kilometers away from here. The hot spring is pretty good. What next?"
"Then, hehe, I heard that this is a place where you can take a sky bath once a year."
"It seems that the time for heavenly bathing is this season. Of course, I only heard about it."
Xiao Hua added slowly.
"Heavenly bath? Or once a year? Damn, what are you waiting for?"
"This kind of thing must happen. We must not miss this kind of opportunity?"
After hearing the second half of Xiao Hua's sentence, Old Su immediately changed his tune.
"Hey, I seem to have heard about this. Gannan Tianba? Jiangzha Hot Spring?"
"Well, yes, yes, there is such a thing."
"Xiao Hua, you reminded me too timely. Needless to say, this kind of good thing will definitely happen."
Shen Hu was also excited.
Today's bath is an open-air bath, so I definitely have to go.
"What's so good about the Tianbath? You stinky men are so shameless. You won't go if you don't want to go."
Li Yanxue objected.
"Hey, isn't this day bath a bit like Yunling's bathing party?"
Lao Li, who rarely expresses opinions, suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes, that's right. Hey, Lao Li, how did you know about the bathhouse?"
When Lao Li mentioned the bathhouse party, Shen Hu became even more interested.
"I've heard that it seems to be a kind of blessing ceremony. There are many people participating, including men, women and children, hehe."
After Lao Li finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully.
"Oh, we've been talking for a long time, are we going or not?"
“Also, are outsiders allowed to visit this kind of Tianba house?
"Don't worry. Baji ran there and didn't see it. It would be miserable if he got beaten up."
Lao Su was a little anxious. He was worried that people would not be allowed to visit. After all, this was a heavenly bath.
"You deserve to be beaten. If you are surrounded by people watching and taking pictures while you are taking a shower, do you think you are angry or not? Should you be beaten?"
Li Yanxue rolled her eyes at Lao Su.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? We are going to attend a blessing ceremony, don't get it wrong."
Shen Hu emphasized.
"Let me tell you, Tianba is just a bunch of old men and women taking a bath with their children."
"How many young people today will participate? If you go, it will be in vain."
Yang Xukuan interjected.
After saying that, he took a long puff of the e-cigarette and "clicked" a big smoke ring.
"Yes, Lao Mang is right."
"How many young people today will go to participate? If you go, it will be in vain."
"Hey, Shen Hu and Lao Su have only been out for a few days."
"How come you have become the Tai Sui among flowers and the devil among colors?".
Huang Ming also expressed his opinion.
"Hey, if you don't want to go, then you won't go. We are just making a suggestion."
Chen Hu blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
"That's right, if you want to blame Xiao Hua, why would we even think about going if he didn't tell us?"
Lao Su's face turned red and white, and he dragged Xiao Hua in.
"Hey, what does this have to do with me?"
"I only said that there is a nice hot spring nearby. Someone might be bathing in the sky, but I didn't say I wanted to go."
Xiao Hua immediately said something.
"Okay, okay, are you finished?"
"I decided to go to Ruoergai first, then go directly to Chuanzhusi Town via Aba Grassland, and then go to Huanglong the next day."
"As for Jiuzhaigou, we can't play it for three or four days. We don't have enough time."
"After that, I will only visit the scenic spots on the way back and not go to other places."
Huang Ming made the arrangements without any explanation.
There's nothing I can do. There are too many chickens and they can't lay eggs, and there are too many people and they're causing trouble.
So everyone started to return to Rongcheng along the 213 National Highway on the edge of Ruoergai Grassland.
Since there was enough time, the car did not drive very fast, and everyone arrived at Chuanzhusi Town leisurely.
There was no accommodation in Chuanzhusi Town, so everyone drove further and finally stayed in Songpan Town.
Early the next morning, everyone returned from Songpan to Chuanzhusi Town and entered Huanglong.
Huanglong is adjacent to Jiuzhaigou Valley, only more than ten kilometers apart.
Because there are many colorful pools in the scenic area that change into colorful colors according to the changes in the surrounding scenery and different lighting angles, they are praised by the locals as the Jade Pool on Earth.
However, the Huanglong Scenic Area is not big, so we could finish the tour in one morning.
After that, everyone continued to drive towards Chengdu along National Highway 213, and finally arrived in Chengdu in the evening.
Since arriving in Chengdu, everyone has felt a little like returning home, and their interest in playing is no longer so high.
The next day I just stopped by to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha and then continued my return.
After a night of accommodation and rest, we arrived at the last scenic spot of the trip early the next morning.
Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan.
The Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan was originally named Wanlingqing.
It is said that Huang Tingjian, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, visited Tianhuang Temple in Jiang'an.
Seeing this sea of emerald bamboos, I couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so majestic, the bamboo waves are thousands of miles wide, and the sisters of Emei have ears", and then I took a broom as a pen.
The three words "Wanling Qing" were written on the yellow umbrella stone, and the bamboo sea got its name.
