Qizanggou

Qizanggou

Qizanggou is located in the northwest of Sichuan Province, north of Chuanzhusi Town, adjacent to Huanglong Airport. In the famous Huanglong scenic area and Jiuzhaigou scenic area of the mountain part. It covers an area of about 50 square kilometers, in which the grass is deep and the trees are numerous, the peaks are numerous, the streams are murmuring, but there is no one. Qizang gully is composed of Kaka gully, aong gully and Hongxing gully.

summary

Kaka gully is about 18 kilometers from the mouth of the gully to the beautiful Changhai. The altitude of kakagokou is about 3500 meters, and that of changhaizi is about 3800 meters.

Aonggou is about 10 kilometers from Goukou to Caohai camp. The altitude of Goukou is about 3500 meters, and Caohai camp is about 3700 meters.

Hongxinggou estuary is located in the north of Huanglong Airport, about 24 km to hongxinghaizi, with an altitude of 3500 m, 4600 m and 4200 m respectively.

The three gullies can be crossed. Changhaizi needs to read changhaizi pass (about 4200 meters above sea level), about 10 kilometers away, to reach aonggou Caohai. It is about 15 kilometers from Caohai to hongxinghaizi.

From aonggou, you can cross the pass to Huanglong or Jiuzhaigou.

The most beautiful time of qizanggou is from June to October every year. In June, rhododendrons are in full bloom, as bright as clouds. October is full of gold.

On the way from Songpan to Jiuzhaigou scenic spot, there is a legendary fairyland. It is said that its beauty and mystery were once talked about by people, and then it was completely buried by the reputation of Jiuzhaigou magpie. The old people say that it is not inferior to Jiuzhaigou. What is more precious is that it is a quiet and beautiful virgin land, which is qicanggou.

The greatest charm of qizanggou lies in its primitive and serenity. The scenery along the road has no trace of human development. Walking in the valley with an altitude of nearly 4000 meters, breathing the most primitive air, we came to the suddenly bright changhaizi. The rippling sea is especially spectacular under the blue sky. The sense of achievement of crossing the pass is accompanied by the snowy mountains far and near. What I feel is unprecedented shock. Caohai is a typical plateau wetland. Although its area is not as large as Zoige's Caohai, its purity and primitive make you feel excited. The Red Star Haizi is even more charming: the snow mountain, the silent forest and the green Haizi are all intoxicating. This season, along the way you can find real Cordyceps and Tricholoma matsutake.

Qizanggou is a transliteration of Tibetan. It's a deserted place with a radius of 50 kilometers. Therefore, friends without good outdoor knowledge and outdoor survival experience should not rush to it. Along the way, you can't light a fire, throw away the non degradable garbage, let alone fish in Haizi. Hiking is the most natural way to travel, but outdoor rules must be observed, especially in the face of such a beautiful "virgin".

Recommended route 1:

Day 1: Chengdu - Wenchuan - Songpan - Chuanzhu temple.

The next day: Chuanzhusi - qizanggou - Changhai. After breakfast, drive about 35 kilometers to Dhaka Valley Road class. After stopping for the road shift, get ready to change horses or go on foot to Changhai in qizanggou. When you travel about 15 kilometers eastward along the gully, you can see a narrow Haizi like a "ghost eye". It is about 3 kilometers long and surrounded by high mountains. The mountains, white clouds and blue sky are very beautiful in the Haizi.

The third day: Changhai yuhaizi hongxinghu hongxingyan yuhaizi. After breakfast, we set out to the beautiful yuhaizi and Caohai, and then walked along the stream for about 10 kilometers to Hongxing lake, which is regarded as a holy lake by the local people.

Day 4: Hongxing Lake Camp - Xueshan pass - feicui shuanghai - Hongxing Grand Canyon - Chuanzhu temple. From the snow mountain pass of the Grand Canyon, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canyon. After crossing the snow mountain, you can see the emerald sea like two emeralds. After that, you can reach Jiuhuang airport in about 4 hours and return to Chuanzhu temple on the same day.

Day 5: Chuanzhusi - Wenchuan - Chengdu. Get up early in the morning, face the rising sun, breathe fresh plateau air again, and return to the warm home with a happy mood.

Recommended route 2:

D1: Chengdu Songpan Chuanzhusi kakagokou (3100m) (360km, about 8 hours)

Start from Chengdu at about 9:30 a.m. and arrive at Chuanzhu temple at about 6 p.m. without any accident (traffic jam is very serious on holidays, at least 2-3 hours later). If you arrive on time and charter a bus to Dhaka gully, choose a suitable place to stay. Accommodation: Kaka gully (camping)

Time required: about 8 hours

Altitude: Chengdu 540M, kakagouchou (3100m) remarks: the whole journey belongs to the road construction section. There is traffic control for a long time, which may bring delay to the journey. Today's destination is above 3000m above sea level. Once you go to the plateau, pay attention to prevent altitude reaction

D2: kakagoukou (3100m) - changhaizi (4200m) (16km walking all day, about 7 hours) get ready to go in the morning, start from the camp of kakagoukou, and enter into the ditch along the road. In early October, kakagou has already had red leaves. Although it's not full of autumn color, the small red bushes and yellowing leaves are mixed in the grass Wooden house, blue sky and white clouds are enough to make everyone relax. 12: 30 to 13:30 lunch and rest. The road condition of the whole route is good, and the slope up the mountain is gentle. The whole journey is 16km, reaching Changhai at about 5pm and setting up camp. Note: since we have entered the area with higher altitude, we can appropriately slow down the team's speed to adapt to the physical conditions of the team members with different physiques. Part of the road will wade, so shoes and waterproof pants should pay special attention to accommodation: changhaizi camp (camping) time: about 8 hours, altitude: about 3400m in changhaizi

D3: changhaizi Caohai (3300m) (the whole journey is 10km, and it takes about 6 hours) depart from changhaizi at 10:00 in the morning, arrive at the bottom of Yakou at an altitude of 4000 meters in half an hour, and have a simple lunch and rest from 12:00 to 13:00. After about 2 hours, we will complete the crossing of the pass, reach the foot of the mountain, and walk for about 3 hours (about 18:00 p.m.) to camp in Caohai. Note: on the third day of the trip, because you have to cross the pass, you can take ginseng tablets, glucose, glucose water or fruit water with you to supplement your physical strength.

Set out from the camp at 10 o'clock, arrive at hongxingyan pass in about 2 hours, walk to hongxinghaizi after lunch and rest, and then walk for about 1 hour to hongxinghaizi. After shooting and playing, hongxinghaizi returns to yuhaizi camp (if you are not afraid of trouble and don't want to sleep in the same place, pack up your tent and go camping in yuhaizi, or camp in Caohai camp if you don't want to move). If you don't reach hongxinghaizi in qizanggou, you are not here. (8km on one side, it's not very difficult. You need to cross a 4000m dumb mouth, and pay attention to the distribution of physical strength in the process of moving)

Note: 1. Yuhaizi is beautiful without publicity. If the weather is good, it's also a kind of enjoyment to be in a daze on the slope. 2. The grass in Caohai may sink easily when walking because of the long-term water supply. Pay attention to wear waterproof shoes.

3. The walking time from hongxingyan to hongxinghaizi is not too long, but the slope is large. Pay attention to the speed.

4. Hongxinghaizi is a sacred lake in the local area. We respect the customs of the local people. In hongxinghaizi, we can't shout loudly or touch the lake water, so as not to disturb the mountain god. Accommodation: yuhaizi camp (camping)

I chartered a car from the mouth of aonggou to Chuanzhusi. I didn't visit here well when I came here. I should have a good feeling of Tibetan Buddhism. I left before 18 o'clock and took a car to stay in Songpan. Note: the road from yuhaizi to aonggou is in good condition, and the scenery is quite beautiful. Streams and colorful forests are typical autumn scenery in Northwest Sichuan. Time: about 11 hours, altitude: About 3500m
