Punching Qinghai

September 10-12, 2021, Qinghai driving two-day tour.

Since 2012, there have been three trips to Qinghai, traveling through most of the scenic spots, but there are still two 5A scenic spots that have not been clocked, namely the Tujia Native Land Garden in Mutual Aid County, Haidong and Amidongso Scenic Spot in Qilian County, Haibei. Originally planned for this year's Gulbang holiday in Qinghai rapeseed flowers bloom in July to complete this plan, together with the Golmud Charkhan Salt Lake, Dachaidan Emerald Lake, and Nianbao Yuzhuo tour, so that the basic tour of Qinghai, but because of the reasons for the official reception, Gulbang travel did not materialize. the second weekend of September have nothing else to do, they will take advantage of the two days time to hit the two 5A scenic spots first.

DAY1

September 10th 10:00 am arrived in Xining, in the airport to get the car directly to the 52 kilometers away from the Mutual Assistance native garden scenic spot.

Mutual aid native soil garden scenic area is located in Haidong City, Qinghai Province, Mutual aid soil Autonomous County Weiyuan Town, 31 kilometers from the capital of Qinghai Province, Xining City, with a total planning area of 6.81 square kilometers, of which the core tour area of 3.25 square kilometers. Scenic area including the source of Tianyoude Chinese barley wine, rainbow tribes of soil garden, Naton Manor and western soil folk culture village, small Zhuang soil folk culture village 5 core attractions, respectively, showing the soil colorful folk culture, far-reaching barley wine culture, the long-lasting aroma of the Moet and Chandon culture, the ancient and innocent architectural culture, distinctive residential culture, simple and mysterious religious culture, the world's most comprehensive, the purest, the most authentic and the most authentic. The world's most comprehensive, the most pure, the most authentic to the "Turkish culture" as the theme, set sightseeing, leisure and vacation, folk experience, religious pilgrimage as one of the integrated tourist attractions.

The visitor center of the scenic area is set in the Tianyoude barley wine factory on the left side of the square, we did not do homework before coming to Qinghai, so the scenic area is not very detailed understanding. Navigation directly guide us to the Tianyoude barley distillery in front of the gate and then terminated the guide, we thought it was a problem with the navigation, so we left the distillery to the right. Scenic area near the traffic set up some confusion, originally along the brewery in front of the Tianyoude Avenue can be directly to the core scenic Rainbow Tribe, but the scenic area with the guardrail divided into a number of passages in the traffic circle, if not consciously to the left, it is directly into the right lane to the right in front of the turn. Turn right and see a grand landmark sculpture in front of us, we thought there is the entrance to the scenic area, to the near front is the western Turkish folk culture village. Asked the staff only to learn that the visitor center is near the winery, so we drove back to the visitor center to buy tickets and then back again. Return because there is no left turn at the traffic circle, so back to the original road, no choice but to turn around and turn back again, a few times after finally came to the door of the Tujia Garden. Originally is not complicated road, let the scenic area artificially into such a complex situation, really upsetting.

Entering the scenic area when a group of tourists, the scenic area for them to hold a welcome ceremony. Dressed in the Turkish dress staff holding a white hatha to each visitor, we also joined the team, along with the guide into the park to start touring the trip.

There are two entrances to the Rainbow Tribe Garden, and we entered from the north gate. The guide led us from the left side of the park to start touring, the north gate entrance is a mountain gate type colorful makeup pagoda, above the pagoda with the arch mode to support the top of the foot flying eaves, this form of architecture imitates the Chinese-style architecture, less heavy, but more dynamic. The colorful arches are colorful, delicate and dazzling. There are many such pagodas in the park roads, much smaller in scale, but they are all bright and colorful. The first landscape of the left side of the park is Shiyide Wine Workshop, which is an old barley wine brewing workshop in Mutual Assistance County, and is now also a brand of Tianyoude. Continued ahead through the powder room, came to the east gate of the park, from the east gate out can reach the Tugulun camp, this is a scenic spot with yurts as accommodation for the hotel class facilities. Visited the eighteen donggou old oil room, tusi taming horse field, and then forward into the Anzhao Square, this is the center of the soil garden. Plaza standing around the rich Turkish characteristics of the wooden pagoda, the center of the performance stage, surrounded by corridors and columns under the audience bleachers. Originally every day at 13:00 there will be a performance here, but today too few tourists, the show was canceled. Anzhao Square is the west of the living Buddha, but the West courtyard, which is a farmhouse courtyard as the living Buddha, Buddha Hall is enshrined in a golden statue of Buddha, there is no living Buddha abbot, the staff told the living Buddha to the Tal Temple to do the deed, a few days to come back. Living Buddha next to the courtyard is the original residence of the Turkish Zhuang Kou Yuan, Zhuang Kou Yuan has a north room and the east room, generally three rooms, the center of the guests, two sides as a bedroom. Inside the bedroom is a kang, with a kang table in the center and neatly folded bedding on both sides. In the middle of the courtyard is an altar about 1.5 meters square, on which peonies and peonies are planted, and in the middle there is a flagpole about 5 meters high, on which colorful sutra streamers are hung. The owner of the house is a Tujia man in his fifties, who is an employee of the Tujia Garden and lives in this courtyard, responsible for interpretation and maintenance. The Tu people believe in Tibetan Buddhism, so many religious practices are done according to the Tibetan Buddhist teaching system. In my opinion, the most original flavor of the native soil in the garden of the native soil when it is here in the Zhuang Kou Yuan, most of the other visits are late according to the development needs of the new or imitation of the construction, the lack of a sense of history and the vicissitudes of the sense of gravity.

After visiting the Zhuang Gu Yuan and a side of the Dosdai old water mill, we went to the Tusi residence and the Tusi Grand Altar visit, which is the park's most magnificent two buildings, but there is no specific content, there is no physical exhibition, just a form. The Tujia Production and Life Museum exhibits the unique characteristics of the Tujia people in handcrafts, textiles, agricultural tools and food, etc., which, together with the intangible cultural heritage items exhibited in the form of sculptures in many places in the park, constitute the unique life and development characteristics of the Tujia ethnic group. Finally, we came to visit the Tu Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center, where we learned about the history of the Tu people in detail. The Tu originated from the Tugukhun, which belonged to the ancient Xianbei ethnic group, and migrated from Liaodong Peninsula to the Gansu and Qinghai areas in the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, establishing the Tugukhun regime. In the seventh century A.D., the Tugukhun regime was destroyed by the Tubo in the western region, after which part of it merged with the Han Chinese, and part of it merged with the Tibetans. After generations of mutual absorption and integration with Tibet, Han and Mongolia, the Tugukhun people in the Haomen River basin and Huanghe area became the ancestors of the present Tu people, and formed a clan in the Yuan Dynasty, which is more than 700 years ago. Therefore, we can see the shadow of the intertwining of Tibetan, Mongolian, Chinese and other multi-ethnic groups in all the habits of the Tu people.

After visiting the Rainbow Tribe, we came to the Western Tu Folk Village, where there is a huge Mani stone, known as the world's first Mani stone. This huge stone is smooth and round all over, weighing 72 tons, and the stone is engraved with ancient Indian Sanskrit scriptures such as "Medicine Buddha Mantra" and "Longevity Buddha Mantra", which is more than 300 years old, and is the treasure of the village here. Xiao Zhuang is a scenic spot, Naton Manor is a scenic spot for catering and accommodation, so we just roughly browsed around and returned to the Tianyoude barley brewery visit, the name of the tour here is called "Tianyoude China barley wine source". Tianyoude barley wine factory's wine-making process as an industrial tourism project combined with the Turkish garden, is here to get 5A qualification prerequisites, this point and scenic area tour guides to confirm the confirmation. Indeed, now many 5A scenic spots simply can not reach the real standard, so they try to find more than one attraction cobbled together, so steal the idea that now China's 5A scenic spots in the quality of the decline, but from the national level, after all, tourism to serve economic development, taking into account the poverty alleviation, support for the local economy, etc., so these are also understandable.

With the crowded flow of tourists into the factory's sightseeing corridor, we visited the distillery's cellar, distillation, filling, packaging and other workshops in turn, tasting the various hawthorn barley wine, and then to the second floor to visit the center of research and development, flavor, modulation, tasting, and so on, to understand the level of scientific research in Tianyodu, and finally visited the original wine storage workshop. Surprisingly, visited the entire plant, actually did not see a worker, the tour guide explained that the factory held a staff sports meeting today, all workers and cadres all went to participate in the games, the factory only left them responsible for tourism reception. A set of processes to visit down, we have a detailed understanding of Tianyoude barley wine.

The source of Tianyoude Chinese barley wine is the country's largest barley wine production base and barley wine origin protection base. Mutual barley wine originated in the Yuan Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development of modern times, brilliant in today's Mutual County People's Government in 1952 in the "Tianyoude", "Yongqing and" and so on eight workshops on the basis of the formation of a state-run Mutual County distillery, December 2011 In December 2011, the company was organized as a joint stock company and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, with the stock abbreviation: qingqing barley wine. At present, the company has a registered capital of 450 million yuan, total assets of 1.8 billion yuan, covers an area of 300,000 square meters, more than 1,800 employees, annual barley wine production capacity of 15,000 tons, the company produces "Mutual Aid", "Tianyoude", The company produces "Mutual", "Tianyoude", "eight workshops", "Yongqing and" four series of barley wine products **** more than 100 varieties. The company will be "Tianyoude" as the total trademark, according to the company: "Tianyoude" from the Imperial Palace in Beijing, Taihe Temple, "Jianji Suiyou" plaque of the next couplet "The heart of heaven blesses the husband with one virtue, and the eternal word of protection, in accordance with the pursuit of tranquility".

The end of the tour of the Turkish garden, is already 15:00 in the afternoon, we have to rush to 276 kilometers away from Qilian County. After Datong, Menyuan, all the way to the mountains, mountains around, after more than four hours of long journey, we arrived in Qilian County at 19:30, checked into the Qilian Hotel. Three years ago, when we traveled to Qinghai-Tibet, we once came to Qilian County to visit Zuoer Mountain, is to stay in this hotel. At that time, after touring Zhor Mountain, once saw the Amidonso scenic signage, but at that time did not tour the national 5A scenic idea, so there is no successive tour, did not think that after three years, or once again to revisit the same place.

DAY2

8:00 am start, first in Qilian County to browse some, and then go to 14 kilometers away from the Amidong Suo scenic spot. The Amidongsuo scenic spot is actually on the side of the road that we passed by on the way here, but there are no hotels around, so we can only go to the county town to put up for the night.

Amidongso is the Tibetan language "God of the mountains" meaning, also known as "thousands of soldiers sentry card", the local people are called "cow heart mountain" or "small Dongsuo". Small Dong Suo". Ami Dongsuo elevation 4667 meters, and Qilian county town of Babao absolute difference of 1880 meters, Qilian Tibetans worship Ami Dongsuo for Qilian king of the mountains.

About 20 minutes later we came to the scenic area visitor center, now is the tourist off-season, and by the epidemic prevention and control, tourists are even more sparse, so the scenic area is now stopped open sightseeing buses, allowing self-driving car into the scenic area. We did as the first batch of tourists in the scenic area, signed a safety agreement and drove into the scenic area. Scenic staff told the scenic route 12 kilometers to the glass stacks on the end, you can return the same way.

Along the scenic highway into the Amidonso, to our first impression is a relatively broad mountain valley, the slopes on both sides of the intermittent valley alpine forest belt, in the forest belt spread all over the alpine meadows, under the slopes of the slopes are pieces of farmland. Now that it is autumn, the meadows have yellowed, the farmland has been harvested, and the forests have taken on a dark green color. If it is in summer, this place should be like the scenery of Xinjiang Nalati grassland. Before I read some tips, described Amidong Suo's summer scene: the bottom of the mountain wheat rolling, birds and flowers, a plateau valley farm scene, spring; foothills of green grass is good pasture, "Qilian Mountains under the good pasture," the beauty of the name. But now it is early fall, the summer does not exist, slightly autumn depression. Clear streams from the mountains run down happily, in the river valley or meandering forward, or washed out a mudflat, and in the center of the mudflat, filled with a lot of high and low staggered shrubs, graceful, gnarled and blooming, like a bonsai, which is the bonsai of the Amey Dongsuo Bay, but also the scenic area is one of the few attractions. Admiring the beauty of the river valley on both sides, in the meandering mountain road all the way forward, it did not take long to come to the bottom of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cliffs, the gentle mountain road suddenly became steep and straight, as the Sichuan-Tibet line of the 72 abduction, after a number of times back and forth, came to the Ten Thousand Buddha Cliffs. Here there is a wooden walkway leading to the side of the cliff, you can see a jagged stone forest on the side of the cliff. Did not see the glass trestle, we continued on, and walked a few kilometers, see the mountain road down, and there is no view from a distance, so call the scenic area to inquire, learned that the glass trestle is in the Wanfo Cliffs attractions. So we turned around and went back to visit the Cliff of Ten Thousand Buddhas on a wooden walkway. Walked to the end of the wooden trestle, here is a small section of glass trestle and wooden trestle connected to the glass viewing platform, the original this is what the staff called the glass trestle. Although this is not the high point of Amidongso, it is the best viewpoint. Here is also the most magical place of Amidong Suo, the surrounding mountains are generally gentle slope, grassland covered curved peaks, but here suddenly appeared an exposed cliff stone forest landscape. Above the cliffs, forests of stone forests and stone buds arranged in order from top to bottom, like a parade of sentinels, but also like a group of Buddha statues, with different forms, lifelike. Nature's magical hand of creation, illusion, as you wish, just lightly move the pen of God, will create this amazing landscape. From this I thought of the Tibetan meaning of the Amidong Suo "thousand soldiers sentry card" is more in line with the symbolic meaning of the landscape, there is a legend more proof of this. Legend has it that King Gesar conquered the White Horde King in the battle of Hall, spreading the sacred Buddha's teachings for all the beings in Hall, and gave him the dunking and empowerment, the Ling army returned to China, leaving a thousand soldiers on sentry duty at the top of the hill, and then the head of the sentinels became the God of the mountains that blessed one side, "Thousand Soldiers Sentry Card" was thus born. In addition to viewing the Cliff of Ten Thousand Buddhas, this is also the best viewpoint for enjoying the panoramic landscape of Amidongso. The meandering river valleys, green grassy slopes, and slightly yellowed mountain beams, all set against the blue sky and white clouds, are the true colors of Amidongso. Although this is not the peak of summer, but the autumn of Amidonso has a different flavor.

It took us about two hours to finish the tour of Amidongso scenic spot. Now time 10:30, back to Xining only four hours, we still have a lot of time available. So we plan to visit the Qilian County, Qilian County, on the way back to the A Ruo Da Temple, and then return through the Xining to the Huangnan State Jianzha County, Cambra Forest Park tour, so that we have traveled all over the states of Qinghai.

The Arou Daiji Temple is about 14 kilometers away from Amidongso, on the side of the 302 Provincial Highway. The Arou Daxi, also known as "Arik Daxi", originated from the earliest Arou tribe, which has now evolved into Arou Township in Qilian County. A Rouxiang is a Tibetan pastoralist township, governing CaoDaBan, QingYangGou, Rixu 3 pastoral area. Here from the Zhuoer Mountain is very close, but also Qilian County's largest Gelugpa monastery. Arou Daxue both by the Tibetan Tibetan Buddhist monastery traditional art influence, but also combined with the art of Chinese temple architecture. Monastery has both the roof of the Tibetan Buddhist scripture hall, also has the Han Chinese corner flying eaves of the pavilion, there is a round as the grain silo type of temple buildings. Like most of the size of the monastery, A Ruo Da Temple also has a row of eight ornately decorated, gold roof and white body of the "good potential Rulai eight pagodas". From time to time, lamas in red Tibetan robes come out of the scripture halls and monasteries, while pious villagers pray in the scripture halls or turn the buckets of sutra in the transepts. The Aruro Monastery has now also been developed as a tourist attraction, with an entrance fee of 15 yuan. Although not as famous as those who have become a tourist attraction, the popularity of the temple is naturally worse. But the advantage is that there are very few tourists here, so this place seems more solemn, quiet and peaceful, more suitable for the refinement of Buddhism, is the other become a scenic spot of the temple is not as good as.

Leaving the Arou Daiji, driving in the beautiful Qilian prairie. Although it is no longer the grassland's most beautiful summer, but the autumn grassland is still unforgettable. The green mountains dance in the distant curve, the green carpet spreads out in the valley, the stars of the yurt as white mushrooms decorated with this dreamy grassland, swimming sheep become the most dynamic scenery on the prairie.

The journey is a great way to enjoy the green grasslands and go all the way to the south. Passing through the town of Ebao, we stopped to browse the Ebao Ancient City Ruins Park, in Daban Mountain Observation Deck, we once again stopped to enjoy the magnificent Qilian beauty, the sky Qilian, all the way with us!

After more than six hours of driving, we arrived at Cambra Forest Park at 4:30 pm. Regrettably, this place is undergoing renovation construction, the scenic area is closed. Scenic staff to us recommended Jianzha small Sanya to visit, since we have come to Huangnan State, can not return without winning, since this is a more popular attractions, may wish to travel to explore. May be the location of the input is not accurate, the navigation directly to us to the Jianzha County, after asking again to realize that it is still 10 kilometers away from the county town of Deji village.

When I came to Deji village, I realized that the so-called Jianzha Xiaosanya is a nickname for Deji village. The reason is that here in the Yellow River built a man-made beach, set up umbrellas, beach chairs and other facilities, a bit of Sanya seaside flavor, it is known as "Qinghai people's small Sanya". Deji Village belongs to Jianzha County of Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, is a poverty alleviation relocation village, mainly by the China Huaneng Group counterpart to help support the construction of the Huaneng Group. 2017 after the completion of the relocation, the Huaneng Group use of Deji Village location advantages, actively explore poverty alleviation relocation and rural revitalization strategy, cultivate rural tourism as a leader in the cultural, photovoltaic and other industries in-depth integration of poverty alleviation characteristics of the industry. It has constructed leisure plaza, pier, open-air beach, flower sea, farmhouse, snack plaza and other tourism industries, and introduced the China Construction Tourism Group to be responsible for the commercialization of the operation, with an admission fee of RMB 10 yuan, and has already achieved a tourism income of RMB 6.8 million in 2020.In July 2020, Deji Village was selected as the second batch of the list of the key villages for the national rural tourism to be selected as determined by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Development and Reform Commission, and has become a local tourism business card, Huaneng Group has also become an advanced group in poverty alleviation.

Come here is known as the small Sanya open-air beach, although there is a world of difference with the beach in Sanya, but this is also unique. Although there is no blue sea here, but there is the blue Yellow River. "The Yellow River is clear in Guide", I have never been to Guide, I don't know what kind of color the Yellow River is there, but we have just been to Linxia, Gansu in August, and the Yellow River there is clear and transparent, and green like jasper from a distance. The Yellow River here is indeed as blue as the sea from afar, and surrounded by mountains, it is like a crystal clear blue gem. In people's traditional impression, the Yellow River water is muddy and turbid, but here, the Yellow River water completely overturned our impression and imagination. It is clear and transparent, warm and moist like jade, just like the Fuxian Lake in Yunnan, an azure blue color, delicate and boundless. "Green mountains are golden mountains" and "Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water", these sayings can be said to be manifested in the present Deji Village. Deji village, these generations in poverty and poverty in the struggle of farmers now in the party's poverty eradication policy guidance, not only get rid of poverty, living a happy life, but also relying on this beautiful Yellow River water, but also has the enjoyment of the seaside beaches, such a sea of change, can only be realized under the leadership of the Chinese ****anufacturing party.

After touring Deji Village, we returned to Jianzha County to browse a bit before starting the return trip, 20:00 back to Xining. Two days of Qinghai card trip to the end of the trip, this trip 970 kilometers.
