Chapter 416: Snow mountain

Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang did not go to work the next day. They both learned that Yang Jing and Ge Ge had come to Lijiang for a trip, so they took three days off. It happened to catch up with the continuous heavy rain on their construction site, and there was no way to work, so the two of them were liberated.

Accompanied by Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang, or to be precise, accompanied by Zhao Shuang, early the next morning, the group of four of them braved the misty light rain and began to set off like the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

If you don't take a look at Yulong Snow Mountain when you come to Lijiang, it's like you haven't visited Badaling or the Forbidden City in Yanjing.

Sun Aoran has been on this construction site here for more than half a year, but he has never been to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain once. One is that he usually doesn’t have time to come out to play, and the other is that the construction site where he is located is in Yongsheng. The southern end is closer to Dali than to Lijiang.

However, Zhao Shuang is a native of Lijiang. She was born and raised here. She is familiar with the Yulong Snow Mountain and the scenic spots around Lijiang. So this time to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Zhao Shuang became a tour guide.

Under Zhao Shuang's suggestion, the few people did not go with the group, but drove directly to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area.

"Driving is the fastest, you can directly reach the parking lot under the snow mountain, and walk up another five kilometers to reach the big ropeway, and then we will take the big ropeway directly up the mountain." Zhao Shuang drove the car and talked about today's arrangements. .

Grid looked at the Daxue Mountain in the northwest through the car window, and said in anticipation: "Everyone talks about how beautiful the Yulong Snow Mountain is. To be honest, it wasn't the same thing before, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, I really knew it. It's a well-deserved name."

Zhao Shuang smiled and said: "Of course, the beauty of the scenery here is really difficult to describe in words. I grew up here, even if I have been here countless times, but every time I see this beauty I can’t help but get excited about the Daxue Mountain, and I will find some beautiful words to describe her, but I can’t, really can’t, she is so beautiful.”

Zhao Shuang slammed into it, avoiding a tourist minibus that was almost on a rampage, and smiled helplessly.

Sun Aoran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, cursed angrily: "Damn bastard, how did you drive this? Are you rushing home for the funeral?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head to comfort her boyfriend, "Ao Ran, don't say that, the driver here is like this, there is no way, we can pay more attention to it. You are angry with them, it is of no use."

Grid frowned and said, "Why are there so many cars here? Are they all here for tourism?"

Zhao Shuang smiled, "Sister Gege, there are still few cars today. If the weather is good, traffic jams will often occur on this road, sometimes for several hours. I also look at the weather today. It’s not so good, so I decided to drive. If the weather is good, we’ll have to walk up. Because in that good weather, walking is faster than driving."

Yang Jing also shook his head speechlessly. The traffic jam in the big capital is serious enough, but according to Zhao Shuang, the traffic jam here is even worse than that in the big capital. "There are so many tourists here? Can the scenic spot afford it?"

Zhao Shuang shook his head, "The scenic spot has already been overloaded, especially in the past ten years, with the popularity of self-driving tours and domestic tourism, Yulong Snow Mountain and even the entire Lijiang City are already overwhelmed."

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the closest glacier to the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. Coupled with its reputation, a large number of tourists come here to watch the glacier every year. The Yulong Snow Mountain Reserve covers 260 square kilometers, but it can With the completion of three ropeways, especially the large ropeways that can directly reach the core area of ​​the reserve at 4508 meters above sea level, this has led to overexploitation. Coupled with global warming, the glaciers of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain have now disappeared a lot. Centuries later, the Yanggong River No. 5 glacier has experienced two large-scale collapses. The largest Baishui No. 1 glacier is shrinking in area and thickness. If this continues, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is really dangerous."

Shaking his head, Zhao Shuang sighed helplessly, "But there is no way. Tourism is an important economic pillar of Lijiang. Now everything is in line with GDP. As a result..."

As a local, Zhao Shuang watched the Yulong Snow Mountain not as good as each day. Naturally, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Grid asked: "Doesn't the country want to control it?"

Zhao Shuang smiled bitterly and said: "How to control? These tourists are all money, representing GDP! Who controls? Who can control it again? Look at the four of us, aren't they one of them?"

Several people were talking, and soon the car drove to the Ganhaizi Scenic Area, which is more than 100 meters above sea level. After parking the car in the parking lot, Yang Jing smiled and asked, "There is also a golf course here? The altitude is so high. Who is coming up to play the ball."

Zhao Shuang said: "This golf course is not simple. It was designed by a very famous foreigner. I forgot its name. It was completed and opened in 2001. This golf course is the only snow mountain course in the northern hemisphere, and it is also a global golf course. One of the highest golf courses. Come here to play in summer, with green grass on one side and glaciers and white snow on the west. The scenery is beautiful. Many people like to come and play in summer. The business here is very good."

Sun Aoran said: "The cost here is not cheap, right?"

Zhao Shuang said: "It seems to be okay. I remember my dad said that the cost of the 18th hole is about 900, and on the weekend, it is about 1,000 yuan. Plus other things such as caddy fees, A series of fees such as shoe rental, pole rental, umbrella rental, golf cart fee, etc., will cost 2,000 yuan to go up from an 18 hole."

Grid poked Yang Jing, "Why, tempted? If tempted to buy it here, then we will come over to play every summer."

Yang Jing smiled and shook his head, "I am not very interested in this kind of sport yet. When I like this sport someday, I will buy it here, and we will come over to play every summer."

Zhao Shuang didn't know Yang Jing's wealth, and asked Sun Aoran in a low voice: "Aoran, is your classmate rich?"

Sun Aoran is not very clear about Yang Jing's net worth, but Sun Aoran knows that Yang Jing is engaged in antiques during this period. He is indeed richer, but if he wants to buy such a golf club, I am afraid it is still far away. So he shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a joke."

Grid heard what the young couple said, but she didn't explain, just smiled.

In terms of Yang Jing's current wealth, buying this golf club is just a matter of effort.

After opening the trunk, a few people carried their backpacks. The backpacks contained some things they prepared last night. For example, small oxygen cylinders, some high-calorie foods and drinking water.

Although it is a big ropeway, the upper station of the big ropeway is as high as 4,508 meters above sea level. It is very likely that altitude sickness will occur when you go up, so a small oxygen cylinder is a must.

After buying four tickets for 728 yuan from the ticket office of the ropeway, the group began to trek along a mountain trail. It is about five kilometers from the ticket office to the lower station of the big ropeway.

Fortunately, this hiking trail is very easy to walk. The whole journey is in the shade of greenery. Although the sky is still drizzling, walking and climbing here is really poetic.

"There are three ropeways in Yulong Snow Mountain. The ropeway we are going to now is the big ropeway. It is the longest ropeway and the highest altitude ropeway." Zhao Shuang explained as he walked.

"What about the other two ropeways? Why can't you see them?" Grid asked.

"The two ropeways are in the north. Have you seen that road? Walk along that road to the north. There is about fifteen kilometers away from here on the northernmost Yakniuping ropeway. That ropeway is The middle ropeway, because the big ropeway we are riding today doesn't usually start much, so the Yakniuping Ropeway is the ropeway with the most tourists. It's just that the Yakniuping Ropeway can't reach the glacier."

After a pause, Zhao Shuang continued: "On the way to the cableway at Mauniuping, I happened to pass by Yunshanping. Yunshanping is about six kilometers away from us. There is also a cableway in Yunshanping, which is Yunshanping. Shanping small ropeway, this ropeway is the one with the lowest altitude. We are very lucky today, although it is a little rainy, the big ropeway is still open. Usually the big ropeway is not open, especially when the weather is bad ."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "If the big ropeway doesn't open, we have to go to the Yakiuping ropeway?"

"Well, that's it. No way. The elevation of the big ropeway is too high. The elevation of the lower station alone is close to 400. If the weather is too bad, the big ropeway cannot be started~www.readwn.com~Yang Jing Nodded, "I know that, especially in a place with an altitude of more than four thousand, the weather can't be compared with the following. Perhaps the weather was still shining under the sun, but once four kilometers passed, there might be heavy snow. The weather changes in the plateau area are still very drastic. "

Several people walked along while laughing, and soon came to the lower station of the big ropeway.

At the entrance of the lower station, the most attractive thing is the three-meter-high big stone in the passage on the left side of the entrance. On that big stone, the words "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, 56" are written in sky blue. These words are all upright, and the number 56 is the altitude of the lower station.

The big ropeway opened today, so there are still a lot of tourists here. The four people waited in line for a while before they sat in a blue hanging box.

Sitting in the hanging box, there is a gray sky above my head. The legendary blue sky and snow mountain is nowhere to be seen today. However, there are lush trees at the foot, and the white snow-capped mountains at the end of the ropeway.

This kind of rare scenery naturally has to stay forever, so the four of them immediately turned into self-portrait madmen...
