After breakfast, the four of them drove west along National Highway 315 to Huangyuan. Huangyuan was originally an inconspicuous small county, but it became famous because of a mountain in its southwest, which is the famous Riyue Mountain. That is
In half an hour, the car arrived at the foot of the southern mountain of Riyue Mountain. These are two peaks running east and west. The altitude is not too high, but the surrounding scenery is extremely beautiful.
Shui Yueqing said excitedly: "Let's stop and take a look at such a beautiful scenery!"
Da Zhuang strongly agreed: "Stop it, you have to go out and stretch your muscles, and drink some water by the way!"
The warrior sighed heavily, obviously a little angry at them for wasting time, but he couldn't care about that much at the moment. It was rare to come to such a beautiful and unique place, so how could he not live up to his own tricks if he didn't stop and watch.
It seemed that he was tired of sitting in the car, so he silently jumped out after a short time.
"Qian Long, why is this mountain called Riyue Mountain?" Shui Yueqing climbed up to a place tens of meters high and looked at the scenery on both sides: "It's so beautiful. Look at the fertile fields on the east side of Riyue Mountain.
On the one side, there is scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but on the west side there are vast grasslands with herds of cattle and sheep, which is another scene outside the Great Wall. In addition, the endless blue lake, with sparkling waves, is like a sea surrounded by plateaus."
I smiled and said, "You missed one thing. The sky here is blue and clear, and the white clouds look so elegant and leisurely."
Da Zhuang chuckled: "It's just that the women here are a bit too uncool, and their cheeks are so red that they're not good enough."
Shui Yue gave Da Zhuang an innocent look, and said angrily: "Can you please not ruin the scenery at a critical moment?"
"The name of Riyue Mountain comes from a legend." Looking at this mountain, which is called the screen of the West Sea and the gateway to the grassland, I suddenly remembered that distant legend: "The origin of its name is related to Princess Wencheng. Legend has it that Princess Wencheng was
When she set off to the west to join the war, she was extremely sad. The king of Tang Dynasty gave her a precious mirror to comfort her, and asked her to take it out and look at it when she went to the border between Han and Tibet. From the mirror, she could see her hometown, parents and relatives. After many hardships, she went through many hardships.
When she arrived at Chiling, which is now Riyue Mountain, the princess felt deeply for her relatives, so she took out her treasured mirror and looked at it. What appeared in the mirror was only her thin face and the Chiling Mountains illuminated by the setting sun. Only then did she realize that her parents were
He deceived himself for the sake of the country and the country. In anger and sadness, he threw the mirror out and broke it into two halves. It happened to fall on two hills. The east half faced west, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, and the west half faced the west, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.
Half of it faces east, shining in the light of the rising moon, hence the name Sun Moon Mountain."
Shui Yueqing wiped her eyes: "Princess Wencheng is really great, she is the pride of us women!"
I patted her shoulder: "Let's go, even if it is a legend, it has already become history. Princess Wencheng's greatness back then can be created by you today. Each of us has the ability to repeat history."
"Oh, how can history repeat itself! Let's go, let's go!" Da Zhuang urged as he ran down the mountain: "Try to get things done today!"
The four of us quickly got into the car. This time it was my turn to drive. We crossed the Daotang River in front of us and got onto the 109 National Highway. Along this national highway, we can go west directly to Golmud. When we crossed the Daotang River
, Da Zhuang clicked his tongue and praised: "Interesting, this is the first time I have seen a big river flowing to the west!"
After getting on the national highway, you can see the endless Qinghai Lake on the right and the lush grassland on the left. To be honest, it is really a pleasure to drive in this kind of place. The most commendable thing is that there are not many cars on the road. If you don’t pay attention to the speed,
Just mentioned a hundred yards. Looking at the rapidly receding scenery on both sides, I suddenly felt like I was floating in the sky.
"Brother Bing, do you still remember your name?" Looking at the terracotta warriors looking at the scenery on my right side in a daze, I felt a little awkward, so I asked casually. Said this man also
Strangely, since we met, apart from the few words he wanted to say, no matter how we asked him, he always pretended to be deaf and didn't hear, and sometimes showed a hint of impatience.
"Zhang Yuelu." What the three of them didn't expect was that my casual question caused this Mongolian warrior who had been sleeping for hundreds of years to speak.
But this name made me feel something was wrong. I was busy striking while the iron was hot and asked more: "Brother Zhang, aren't you a Mongolian? Why do you use a Han name?" This time the guy stopped talking and leaned on his seat.
He seemed to be deep in thought again.
The distance from Xining to Golmud is nearly 500 kilometers, and there is no expressway, so the speed on the national highway is naturally much slower. After passing the Qinghai Lake section, there are endless grasslands on both sides, and there are rolling hills in the distance.
The visual impact of the Qilian Mountains is unparalleled in the Central Plains.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning and it was not until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon that I arrived at Golmud. Looking at this new city built on the Gobi wilderness, I couldn't help but admire the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries. Golmud
The economic pillar mainly relies on salt mines and mineral resources such as potassium, magnesium and lithium, as well as oil and natural gas. Of course, it also includes an important economic pillar, which is the black goods trade.
