Angry River originates from Tibet, flows through Yunnan into Myanmar, and finally empties into the Indian Ocean. The section in Tibet is called 'Nachu River', and in Myanmar, it is known as 'Salween River'. We traveled north along the Angry River for three days, from Lushui City to Laomudeng Village in Fugong County, and then to Bingzhongluo in Gongshan County. On the third day, we arrived at Bingzhongluo in Gongshan County. G219 is well-maintained, with a cycling lane provided all the way, offering an experience of a section of Bingzhongluo. After crossing the Yunnan-Tibet border into Linzhi Chayu County, the road turns into a dirt track. Vehicles coming from the Tibet section to Yunnan are covered in mud. Landslides, falling rocks, and debris flows are the norm here, and it is really not recommended to visit during the rainy season. Here, villages are called 'XX Luo' or 'XX Tong', depending on whether the Nu, Lisu, or Tibetan ethnic groups are the majority in the village; some are called 'Luo' and some 'Tong'. Trek through the ancient tea-horse road of Wuli Village, Qiunatong, overlooking the first and second bends of the Angry River. This place is known as where gods and humans dwell together, probably referring to the peaceful coexistence of multiple ethnicities and religions.

There are many restaurants and hotels in the town, as well as many government agencies and hospitals, which are not small in scale and should be the administrative center of Bingzhongluo. Fortunately, I encountered a market day, and the long street was full of various stalls, which were very prosperous. Looking down from the bridge, you can see a fan-shaped highland barley terrace, shining with golden light under the sun. In the morning, the mist was lingering, although I didn't see the sea of clouds, it was like a fairyland.

I have been to many places. The only thing that I am willing to leave is Shimenguan. The climate of Shimenguan is pleasant. There is no cold in winter and no heat in summer. The red persimmon in October is in the branches of December. In every season of spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are always flowers, flaming cuckoos, sultry bougainvillea, and the elegant peony... along the mountain road through Fuyuan Bridge, always going forward Coming to the core of Shimenguan, the Shimenguan canyon wall is cut like a mountain. It is like a mountain with a giant axe open from it. The huge stone in the Guanzhong is abrupt, and the stone creek passes through the mountain. The waterfall cascades. The vines are rock climbing, the flowers are strange, the scenery is beautiful, and the scenery is fascinating. Walking along the ancient raft road into Shimenguan, you can watch the strange peaks and stones, overlooking the cliffs and the deep waters, as if you are in a fairyland.

The cloudless blue sky, the rugged mountain peaks, the lush jungle, the beautiful stone creek, so many beautiful, all gathered in the Shimenguan Scenic Area, unconsciously fascinated here, forget the direction of going back. Going north to the top, the pre-climbing staff will wear a safety helmet for each visitor to ensure the safety of the visitors.
