Shennu stream

Shennu stream is located on the South Bank of the Yangtze River, originated in Guandu District of Wushan County, Chongqing. The upper reaches are named Guandu River, and the lower reaches are named Ziyang River and shennu river. Qingshi Town, opposite shennu peak, joins the Yangtze River. Restricted by its precipitous geographical environment, the lower reach still retains its original natural features.

Main attractions

Shennu stream, also known as "Meimei stream" by local people, is 15 kilometers long. Due to the rapidity of water surface and narrow channel, there are 10 kilometers of primitive valleys that are inaccessible to people. After the impoundment of the third stage, you can explore the depth of the gorge in the stream. The beautiful scenery and original ecological residents are "startled" in front of visitors. The beautiful scenery of the Qifeng mountain, which used to be known only by a few photographers, will become a new highlight of the Three Gorges tour.

Wushan twelve peaks of Cuiping, feifeng, Qiyun, Shengsheng, Jingtan five peaks, Qibu river banks. In the middle reaches of shennu stream, the rising peak is on the South Bank of the inner side, and the Qiyun peak is on the northwest. The mountains are emerald, the clouds cover the fog, and the river flows like nine ileums. There are many places where "mountains and rivers are heavy, there is no road, and there is another village with hidden willows and bright flowers", which are the marvelous gorge in the gorge and the unique scenery in the scenery. After the impoundment of the third phase, beautiful scenery and original ecological residents appear in front of tourists. The Qifeng Lijing, once known only by a few photographers, has become a new highlight of the Three Gorges tourism.

Shennu stream is close to shennu peak, the twelve peaks of Wushan mountain. After climbing shennu peak, turn around and enter shennu stream.

If you do not enter shennu stream, you will never regret it. Pinghu Lake flows back, the water level becomes flat, and the water level rises. The scenic spot about nine kilometers downstream of shennu stream is a marvelous show of the small Three Gorges, and even more magnificent and dangerous of the Big Three Gorges. Although it is the mountain of Wushan, it is like the water of Lijiang River in Guilin, quiet, clear and green! During the tour, you will feel comfortable.

A few years ago, two human landscapes, wushanyun and weirenfeng, were discovered. Looking up at the towering skyscrapers and cliffs in the southeast of the rising peak, the three characters "Wushan cloud" can be clearly identified. The "ink treasure" is not man-made, but the brown yellow on the weathered blue gray cliff.

At the "great man peak" in Jingtan peak scenic spot deep in shennu River, the great man "Mao Zedong" gazed at the high gorge, Pinghu Lake and unharmed goddess dozens of miles away, echoing the "MaoGong mountain" in sandaoping, Yichang.

There was no road here, so the villagers had to cut a "road" with firewood knives

December's Three Gorges, is the north wind hunting, the wind across the river, raising cold water mist thorn in the face of pain. This is not the season for travel, but entrusted by my friends, I still braved the cold wind to shoot in Shennv river. The high backpack behind him contained four cameras, a lot of lenses and heavy tripods, knives, medicines, cold suits, long ropes, fishing gear, cooking utensils It's like moving.

Our plan is to go deep into the upper reaches of shennu River by land, and then drift down by rubber boat. There are few people and no ready-made roads around shennu stream, so we invited two local villagers to be our guides. In the early morning, with the morning fog, we started from Qingshi town and went upstream along shennu stream. The river is full of steep rocks, so we can't get down at all. We can only walk through the hillside hundreds of meters away from the river. It's not easy to walk in the middle of the mountain. The trees are dense, so the villagers at the front have to cut a "road" with firewood knives. I carry a heavy bag, deep one foot shallow one foot to follow behind, soon sweating. It's so easy to find a gentle place to sit down and have a rest. Looking around, I found that I was already in a dazzling red. It's the red leaves of late autumn. Looking down, shennu stream is like a ribbon winding among the peaks.

In the middle of winter, the weather is changeable. Just now, it was sunny, but in the twinkling of an eye, it was cloudy. We had to speed up our progress. Dense jungle, almost impossible to move, people at this time has no ordinary heroic spirit. We walked silently and difficultly through the mountain stream where there was no road, and climbed the dangerous cliff again and again.

There are also two engineers from Inner Mongolia Architectural Design Institute. The guide leads the way in front, and I am responsible for the disconnection. In front of us is another sharp cliff. Everyone began to rub forward carefully, one person, two people, three people passed safely. I packed my backpack and prepared to climb over the cliff, only to find that the Engineer in front of me stopped in the middle of the cliff. People who have passed yell and gesticulate at me. Let me help him. This section of the cliff is about 5 meters long, and below it is a few hundred meters deep ravine. I approached the engineer slowly. His hands were shaking and his face was pale. The beany sweat on his forehead was falling down. The cold wind made his hair look like a mess of grass. It turned out that when he passed, he looked down unintentionally. It was an abyss of several hundred meters. Shennu stream looked like a thin white line. I had to tell him not to be nervous, let a man in front hold his left hand, I grabbed his back in the back and escorted him through.

But just then, my trouble came. Just where he stopped, a plant with thorns, commonly known as "niuwangci", caught my photo vest. My toes stand on the rock wall less than 5cm wide, and the place where I climb with my hands is only 3cm wide. If I accidentally fall to the bottom of the valley, I will fall to pieces. I carefully released a hand, and it took a lot of effort to remove the thorn from the clothes. When I passed, everyone cheered. But I can't sit down and look at the foot of the mountain. I feel like I'm going through the gate of hell.

The rest of the journey was more difficult. We walked and stopped all the way. When it was almost dark, we arrived at the first day's destination, jingtanfeng power station. Once the tense mood is relaxed, the fatigue will come. Before we have time to savor it, we have already fallen asleep.

A sense of desperation overflowed. The roaring stream, the piercing cold wind, and the fatal scarp three meters away

Early in the morning, I was woken up by birds outside the window, so I quickly picked up the camera and went out. As soon as I went out, I met a strange mountain peak, which attracted my attention. Because it's backlight, I can only see its silhouette, which is the profile portrait of Chairman Mao. Is secretly surprised, the stationmaster of the power station came over and asked me with a smile: "this is the great man peak, do you look like it?" His words brought me back to my senses, and I quickly set up a tripod and photographed this magical mountain.

It was getting brighter, but the fog was getting thicker.

The plan for this day is to drift down the shennu River and take pictures of the scenery along the way. Before we set out, we arranged our drifting equipment: two rubber boats and two tents. Based on my past experience, I have prepared some self-made equipment that may be useful: three four meter long thick branches. Later experience proved that these preparations almost saved our lives.

Ready to stop, and then look back at the hazy Jingtan peak, we set out. With the rapidity of the stream, the boat carried us to the depths of the mysterious goddess stream.

Because of the inaccessibility of people, the original vegetation is maintained in the canyon. The dense trees on both sides of the river are green, and the cliff near the stream is full of yellow Lycoris. I sat in the front of the rubber boat, focused on the situation in front, almost no time to enjoy the beauty of the gorge. The sound of the water became louder and louder, and gradually became a roar.

All of a sudden, I found a scarp about ten meters in front of us! I realized that it would be very dangerous if I didn't stop the boat immediately. I called out to my companions and thrust them to the bottom with the thick branches prepared in advance. But the current was too fast, and the bottom was very smooth. No matter how hard it was, the boat still drifted forward hopelessly.

As the scarp drew closer and closer, I was in a cold sweat, feeling my heart in my throat. Extreme tension made me lose the original calm, holding branches randomly inserted into the bottom, mouth shouting: "quick! Come on! hold still! Hold on In the panic, the boat finally stopped about three meters from the side of the scarp. You look at me and I look at you. You know very well that the situation is still very dangerous. You have to find a way to get to the shore.

As the most experienced person in the group, I think I should be calm so as not to affect the morale of the army. So I looked around for a way out of danger. Because the people at the stern of the boat and I were supporting the boat with branches, we had to ask our companions sitting in the middle of the boat to take out the long rope prepared in advance, tie a looper similar to a horse at the top, and then look at an upward protruding rock on the rock and throw it hard. Maybe I'm too nervous. I didn't catch up for the first time, twice, three times, four times I felt my hands shaking with the branches, almost exhausted, and my fellow rope thrower had not yet caught the rock.

A sense of despair overflowed. The roaring stream, the piercing cold wind, and the fatal scarp three meters away I don't know
