I often travel alone, but this time with my mother. Don't wait for me! Some things can be done now, such as traveling with family.

We met in Chongqing, and then moved forward together. All my photos in the travel notes were taken by my mother for me.

Write travel notes for the first time, please forgive me!!!

Day 1 Changzhou Chongqing (k1152, 23 hours, 429 yuan)

Yes, it took me 23 hours to get to Chongqing by train. You may say that the price of air ticket and train ticket is not much different, and much faster. Then I'll answer you, "I'm not in a hurry." This kind of slow travel makes me meet more people, see more scenery and have enough time to think.

The bus leaves at 00:40 a.m. and arrives at 23:40 the next night. In the deep night, there are few pedestrians. I walk to the railway station step by step with my luggage on my back. Then I send a paragraph in my circle of friends: I am always more sober than I am at any time when I walk alone on the road. The smell of fish and dragons in the old railway station is always very bad, but you don't hate it. If you look at the old men lying on the stools and the travelers who can't even sleep in the ticket hall, you won't despise them as much as you used to, because you know you used to be so tired on the road. I dare not say that I know the meaning of travel, but every masochistic travel makes me grow up, and I see myself and the world more truly. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is what I think life should be like. I'm sorry, but I'll take a lot of good photos. Good night, wish you have a good dream.

After that, I entered the security station and started a new journey.

Chongqing: Jiefangbei pedestrian street, Hongyadong; Stay in Chongqing

Jiefangbei pedestrian street: it's like Wangfujing in Beijing and Nanjing Road in Shanghai. There is a commercial street in every big city. It's a place where luxury brands gather. It's a standard place to take photos.

Hongya Cave: not far from the Jiefang monument, it is within walking distance. It is mainly built along the river with the style of "Diaojiaolou" with the traditional architectural features of Bayu.

Chongqing: Chaotianmen wharf, foreigners street; Stay in Chongqing

Chaotianmen wharf: at this wharf, you can take a cruise to the Three Gorges, or you can go to the two rivers at night. Finally, we took a 15 yuan steamer to the foreigner street. I feel that foreigner street is like an amusement park. I don't recommend it.

Day 4 Chongqing Wulong, huangbaidu drifting; Stay in Wulong

It's really a toss about Chongqing going to Wulong. Originally, the earliest train to Wulong was scheduled. We got up at 4:30 and got to the railway station from Hongyadong. But when we got to the railway station, we were informed that our train was out of service. Maybe there was a section of rainstorm. In the end, we refunded and bought the next train, but it was a slow train, and the ticket was very cheap. It was only 12 yuan and 5 yuan, and the friends were shocked.

Because I'm a photographer, when I go to a place, there will be an appointment. This time, we are shooting a little girl in Chongqing. The shooting place is huangbaidu drifting in Wulong. Let me show some personal portraits of the little girl. Wulong is really beautiful. Beautiful scenery.

At that time, I wanted to find a stream that could enter the water, and there were trees around to shoot. Originally, I went to zhuzixi to shoot after checking the information, but time didn't allow me to go. Finally, we found local people to send me to such a place, huangbaidu rafting, just because it is not the flood season, can not drift, so the current will not be particularly fast, we can enter the water. It's 100 yuan to charter a car from Wulong railway station to huangbaidu rafting. When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we already had some friends barbecue by the stream. So, if a group of friends travel together, at the foot of such a beautiful mountain, barbecue by the stream, it is recommended.

Day 5 Wulong: Fairy mountain, tianshengsanqiao; Stay in Wulong

At Wulong bus station, there are many CMBS going to Xiannushan scenic spot, which seems to cost more than ten yuan. It's about an hour. I'll stop to buy tickets, and then I can go in. The ticket price of fairy mountain is 120 yuan, and the sightseeing train is 20 yuan per person. But I don't particularly recommend fairy mountain. There are not many surprises. Of course, because of the rain, I didn't go to the skiing and grass skiing places. Maybe it would be better there. There is a scenic spot called "prairie", but it is actually a very small place, because after I went to the real prairie, so there is really no way to compare the two. Heard someone say: "this is the prairie, this is a mountain pit." lol

Tianshengqiao, also known as Tiankeng Sanqiao, is a rare geological wonder ecological tourist area in China, which is a typical karst landform. Tianlong bridge, Qinglong bridge and Heilong bridge are the three majestic stone arch bridges in the scenic area, which are the largest group of Tiansheng bridges in Asia. Tianshengsan bridge is located at the junction of Baiguo Township and hetaoxiang Township, 20km southeast of Wulong county. The three tianshengsan stone arch bridges created by nature have the characteristics of male, strange, dangerous, beautiful, secluded and unique. They have gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, but up to now few people know about them（ From Baidu Encyclopedia)

From Xiannushan to tianshengsanqiao, you just need to go out of the scenic area and continue to wait for the CMB just like from Wulong to Xiannushan to get to xiannvzhen. The ticket price of tianshengsanqiao is 135 yuan (including 40 yuan for environmental protection). And this is the location of transformers 4.

In the pit bottom courtyard of Tianlong bridge of tianshengsanqiao, there are ancient courtyard with green tiles and grey walls. Lanterns hanging in front of the courtyard read "Tianfu"

Tianfu official post "four words. The post station was built in 619 A.D. in the second year of Wude of Tang Dynasty. It is located in the key area between "zuandianpu" and "baiguopu". It is an important post station for official information transmission in ancient Fuzhou and Qianzhou. It was destroyed in the war. The building is located in Wulong Tiankeng, at the lower end of Qinglong bridge of tianshengsan bridge. There is a Valley Road at the bottom of the pit, which is about 5 meters wide. It looks like an ancient post road, and can pass wooden cars and ride horses. The house is beside the road, and the roof is covered by the abyss of Tianlong bridge. Surrounded by towering rocks and verdant shrubs, there is a deep and gloomy atmosphere（ From Baidu Encyclopedia)

This is the location for Zhang Yimou's film "the city is full of golden armour". He chose location in the whole country, and finally built this special building, named Tianfu official post, by using the special terrain of Tiankeng and Qinglong bridge.

Tips: I have to say: in the evening, there will be mountain people carrying their own fruits to sell in Wulong county. It's really cheap, fresh and delicious. Whether it's pipa, peach or plum, it's really sweet and full of water.

Day 6 Wulong Chongqing, Ciqikou Ancient Town, baigongguan, zhazidong, shibati; Stay in Chongqing

Wulong Chongqing: k9462 10:37, 24.5 yuan, arriving at noon.

Ciqikou Ancient Town: there are still some commercial towns, and the place is not too big. On both sides of the road are hawkers and shops selling things. Just stroll around.

Then I went to baigongguan, the villa of Baiju, a warlord in Sichuan. In 1939, the military Bureau transformed the prison into a detention house for political prisoners. More than ten houses on the first floor and the first floor were converted into cells, and underground storage rooms were converted into dungeons. It was here that little luobotou was killed. Zhazidong was originally a small coal mine in the suburb of Chongqing. In 1943, the Bai mansion was changed into the third guest house of the Sino US cooperation center. After that, the political prisoners had to move out. The general affairs director of the Military Commission, intoxicated, drove a jeep to look around in person, and finally chose zhazidong as the new place to hold the prisoners in the former Bai mansion detention center, where Jiang Jie was once held.

Baigongguan and zhazidong are free to visit. You can take a bus from Ciqikou, but you need to transfer.

Eighteen terraces: a symbol of the real mountain city of old Chongqing

To sum up Chongqing:

1. It is worthy of being the "fog city"

In those days when I was in Chongqing, only one day I saw the sun, but I still said I was lucky. One time, I picked up the camera to take a picture. Then, I couldn't focus automatically. Unexpectedly, the visibility was so low that I couldn't focus automatically. Finally, I had to focus manually. It's dark and very late here. I take a tripod to shoot the night scene. It doesn't start to be dark until eight o'clock.

2. Three dimensional city

"Mountain city" Chongqing, I am either climbing or downhill, climbing or downhill, climbing or downhill. It's really tiring to walk around the city for a day, so no one rides a bike here.

Speaking of this, there is an interesting thing: we live at home in Hongya cave. As soon as I got into the elevator, I didn't lift my head. I pressed the first floor directly. When we got to the first floor, we couldn't find the lobby, so we wondered why there was such a strange thing. There was a lobby when I checked in the day before, but it's gone today. We went back to the elevator and pressed the second floor, but it didn't work. So I went back to the first floor, still not. I went back to the elevator again, looked at the floor carefully, pressed the 9th floor cautiously, and finally found the lobby. This kind of unreasonable hotel really makes me doubt my IQ.

3. Chongqing is really a paradise for me

It's not very expensive, but it's really delicious, and there are many kinds. It's a paradise for me to eat...

Recommend Wu chaoshou (there are many), Lianggao, tofu, hot and sour noodles, hotpot, and so on...

Day 7 Chongqing Jiuzhaigou; Sujiuzhaigou

Before going there, when inquiring about the route, everyone said that Jiuzhaigou can't go directly from Chongqing, it must go from Chengdu. But in fact, there is a bus from longtousi bus station in Chongqing to Jiuzhaigou. It leaves at 8:40 in the morning and takes 11 hours. But in fact, we took 14 hours. Probably because of road construction, the ticket price is 219 yuan. This road will pass through the Jiuhuang mountain scenic area. The stream on the side of the road is very clear and green. The water is winding along the mountain. The road is always built along the water. No matter where the car goes, the water is always there. It can't be better. Moreover, this road passes through Mianyang City, Yingxiu Town, Beichuan County, once the hardest hit area of the Wenchuan earthquake. Now they are all restored and rebuilt, and the local people are living and working in peace and contentment again. It's dark. We're still making a detour in the mountains. We can only see the dark outline of the mountains in the distance and the stars in the sky. We arrive at Jiuzhaigou near 11 o'clock in the evening.

Day 8 Jiuzhaigou scenic area; Sujiuzhaigou

As the saying goes, Jiuzhai doesn't look at the water when it comes back, but it happens to meet children's day, so you can imagine how crowded the scenic spot was that day. In addition, the weather is hot, so I don't feel like watching the scenery. I just want to take some beautiful photos quickly, and then go back to my residence to have a rest.

Ticket price: 310 yuan

In fact, the end of May and the beginning of June is not the flood season, so there is no water in many places. This also leads us to think that it's useless to watch the Yellow Dragon for only one day, and wait until autumn to do it again.

Pearl Beach: the scene of journey to the west, do you still remember the opening song, the scene of a line of four people?

The last one, carrying equipment shuttle in Jiuzhaigou I.

Day 9 Jiuzhaigou Ruoergai, Huahu, Langmusi, Jiuqu, the first bay of the Yellow River; Stay in Tangke town

There is a bus from Jiuzhaigou bus station to Zoige. It runs every day and leaves at 7:00 in the morning. The ticket price is 83 yuan.

Arriving in Zoige county at noon, some backpackers got off together, so seven of us carpooled to visit the next scenic spot.

Huahu, Langmu temple, Jiuqu, the first bay of the Yellow River three scenic spots chartered 450 yuan. However, when I visited three scenic spots in the afternoon, I was in a hurry. The road was not very easy. I only knew that it was bumpy all the way.

Huahu: at this time, the flowers in Huahu have not yet opened, and they will probably not open until July.

the waters and skies merge in one colour

Langmu Temple (Sichuan, there is also a Langmu temple in Gansu): the ticket is 30 yuan. It is said that no one sells tickets in winter.

There are a group of children who will ask you for candy. She speaks Tibetan, which I can't understand, but she feels shy and scared. Next to a little girl who can speak Mandarin translated for me, I understand. So in the future, we can bring some candy and chocolate to our children.

Tips: when you enter the hall, remember to take off your slippers and hat, and circle clockwise. Keep quiet. You can't take pictures.

Jiuqu first bay of the Yellow River: due to the wrong time calculated by the driver, when we arrived at the first bay of the Yellow River, we couldn't see the sunset. I just took the following picture.

Originally, seven of us planned to go back to Zoige after watching the sunset, live in the tent, eat roast whole sheep and have a bonfire party. But because of the rain, all the plans failed. And because there was no sunset, at last four of them (including me) planned to live in the nearby town of tonk and take sunrise the next day.

This is the first bay of the Yellow River in Jiuqu, which was photographed early the next day.

Tips: it's very cold at the top of the mountain in the morning. Remember to bring more clothes to keep warm. In fact, this scenic spot can evade tickets. There are no managers after 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Climb from the side of the hillside, do not climb from the wooden plank road to the top of the mountain. But we were so stupid that we climbed up the hillside and went down the plank road. Finally, the management found that the ticket was 65 yuan.

It costs 100 yuan to charter a car from Tangke town to the first bay of the Yellow River in Jiuqu. Finally, we bargained with our master, and 250 yuan took us to the first bay of the Yellow River and sent us back to Ruoergai County. The charterer was really good. He took us to the Baihe prairie, climbed to the top of the mountain, photographed the whole prairie, and took us to ride a horse.

Riding: 40 yuan for how long, the owner will take you to the grassland, teach you how to let the horse forward, how to stop, how to left and right, and then you can gallop freely on the grassland.

Return to Ruoergai County, stop for a rest, and stroll in the county. A little friend of the same trade, who was very good at chatting up, walked on the street and saw some Tibetans sitting in front of the shop drinking yogurt. So he went to ask them whether they sell yogurt or not? The last 10 yuan a bowl, but they also feel embarrassed to charge us money, because they make it by themselves and drink it by themselves. They constantly add yoghurt to us and give us some cakes to drink together. There is no doubt that they are kind and honest. So the four of us sat with them, drinking fresh yak yogurt, chatting, chatting and laughing. It was so harmonious. They took some photos and asked if they had any e-mail to send to them in the future. They said: we have wechat. We were surprised and said: you are so fashionable.

In the county can buy authentic Cordyceps, saffron and other valuable medicinal materials, and the price is not expensive. Especially now, in the season of Cordyceps sinensis, the price of 20-80 yuan depends on the specific origin and size. The local yak meat is also very delicious. They are all yaks raised by the local Tibetans themselves. You can buy some dried yak meat for your family and friends.

Continue a small episode, the county power failure, although this is a common occurrence, and in the evening will call, but we live in the hotel that did not call, and this hotel also has no generator, we can only check out, move to another hotel. The original owner of the hotel is a young couple, with a pair of children. When they left, the two lovely children waved and said "goodbye" to us all the time, while the young couple always said sorry to us. During the day, we sat at the door drinking yogurt together. A girl had accommodation at home, and the four of us moved to her.

Day 11 Zoige Xiahe, Labrang temple; Suxiahe

Zoige Xiahe bus looks like 60-70 yuan. I don't remember. It arrived at noon.

Labrang Temple: to get into Gongtang pagoda and take a panoramic view of the temple, you need to buy tickets. Because of the rain and many places are being repaired, I didn't go in and strolled around the temple. It's very close to Labrang temple from Xiahe, so it's the starting fee for a taxi. Finally, we walk back to Xiahe from Labrang temple. We can have a look at the local conditions and customs around us as we walk. There are many shops selling Tibetan products and temple and Buddhist hall products.

Day 12 Xiahe Lanzhou, Lanzhou Changzhou

Xiahe Lanzhou bus costs 76 yuan and arrives at noon

Lanzhou Changzhou T54 407 yuan

Put two pictures of loess high slope on the train, I will think of the familiar song "my family lives in loess high slope, the wind blows from the slope."

Tips: Gansu is really dry. I didn't stay here for long, but I feel my throat is very dry and I want to catch fire. Remember to drink more water.

Finally, let's play a group of songs of the road. It seems that I have a deep road plot! I hope you can see the scenery all the time.
