Wufeng Mountain is a mountain shaped like a phoenix, with lush trees along the way and beautiful scenery
Shangri-La is known as a paradise on earth, located at the junction of the Tibetan and Sichuan, is the hinterland of the cross-sectional mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The movie "The Vanishing Horizon" has put Shangri-La, the Yunnan mountainous region of Zhongdian into people's vision. Once the pursuit of the sacred sun and moon of Shangri-La, after returning to Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture many times, it has also become a search for the real life of the city. Touring the ancient city of Shangri-La, visiting the Napa Sea, walking through ancient villages... The mystery of Shangri-La seems to have gradually become a familiar atmosphere of life. The ancient city of Shangri-La is a well-preserved Tibetan residential area, an ancient city with a thousand years history, reborn after repeated fires. This is the fourth time I have come to Shangri-La, and the first time I have come to Shangri-La's Shenshan Wufeng Mountain along the mountain road trail from the ancient city. Wufeng Mountain is a mountain of gods in the hearts of Tibetans. It is said that there are five gods inhabited in the mountains, protecting the peace and prosperity of the local people. Every time the world is full, Wufeng Lingkong is called Wufeng Mountain. The awe of local Tibetans in Wufeng Mountain has made the natural ecology of Wufeng Mountain extremely protected. The undeveloped mountainous area now also has a natural trail, along the rugged path to enter Wufeng Mountain, into the open canyon area inside. Wufeng Mountain has rich vegetation, no one to destroy, build natural grassland, forest area, distributed a wide variety of spruce, fir and other precious vegetation. In spring and summer, the grass is lush, the shrub grass grows indiscriminately, and a deep valley of the hills covered by green is a place of uninhabited paradise. The first time I climbed Wufeng Mountain, I went out of the city from the south of the ancient city and walked up the mountain road to the foot of the mountain on the side of Wufeng Mountain. Walking climbing, although it is a healthy trail, but there are still no stone steps, are the original ecological muddy path. Along the narrow and winding path up the mountain, the signs on the road always remind passers-by that this is a plateau of more than 3,300 meters. Climbing Wufeng Mountain also needs to take into account the discomfort caused by high reaction phenomena and take protective measures in advance. Wufeng Mountain's vegetation coverage is not balanced, the mountain is overgrown, but there are no towering trees, only along the mountain road into the canyon area of the water area, you can see a pine forest of fir trees, a pine forest, fir trees lush between the hills. The grass near the waters is particularly lush, and above the grass sea is a patch of wildflowers. There are white grass jade plum, silver lotus flower, fresh purple axle, small ball-shaped red axle, Yunnan alpine beans, and pink sea fairy spring, which can treat anemia red pollo flowers, like purple star sea dragon dandi ding, strings of blue purple glass grass, Yellow wolf poison flowers and wild rhododendrons distributed along the hillside... The wild flowers blooming everywhere are the natural scenery of Wufengshan original ecological protection, and the wide variety of flowers and plants and pine forests are the most beautiful gifts to mankind by Shangri-La nature. Those natural flowers and trees that have not been modified and have less affectation, the canyon full of lush flowers has the layers and color transition of nature. Walking in the valley is the scenery from the closest to heaven, where there is life and no one disturbs. The hustle and bustle of the city and the lights are red and green, and it is eclipsed by the beauty of the original ecology. Wufeng Mountain is also a resort for horse racing and religious prayers for Tibetan people. Every festival there will be horse racing and religious prayers. Although the feast today is not as grand as the grandeur of ancient times, Wufeng Mountain's status in the hearts of Tibetans is still sacred. Build white towers in the mountains, hang up the scriptures, people turn to the mountains to pray for blessings. In the festival, come to the mountains to play, celebrate, pray for peace and success. Climb up Wufeng Mountain and enjoy the magnificent scenery that nature has given to Yunnan and Tibet mountainous areas, the sacred and inviolable Tibetan faith, and witness this well-protected valley. Humans understand the beauty of the landscapes and rivers that nature gives, and live in harmony with it. This is probably the reason why Shangri-La is called the sun and moon in the heart and the paradise on earth. The most beautiful scenery is in the depths of nature, and those unvarnished rivers and mountains are picturesque.
