The next day, three people returned to the roadside car at noon. This canyon adventure was really thrilling. I actually encountered three bears, but I was not afraid of people at all. They slept in the car until night, and their fatigue and fear completely disappeared. On the contrary, they had a different kind of stimulation and sense of accomplishment.
, especially Chen Xi, was even more happy. Li Jun said that he had met a bear in the mountains for a few years, and Chen Xi, a single woman, would definitely have been able to get rid of the bear for a lifetime. Lao Lin also praised her for being calm in the face of danger, being calm in mind, considering the equipment with considerate and correct methods of use.
The next day, three people continued to set off. The destination was set before, which was the most famous sky city on 317 National Highway , which integrates natural scenery, cultural landscape, and religious holy land - Zizhu Temple . This is a must-see check-in place for self-driving tours on the Sichuan-Tibet North Line.
At 3 pm, according to the navigation, they have arrived near Zizhu Temple. There is a small rest area next to National Highway 317, with a small parking lot and a toilet. Here you can see the mountain on the back of Zizhu Temple. There is a river across the road. There is a grand mountain. The mountain is basically covered with green grass. Dozens of yaks and horses are eating grass leisurely on the mountain. From a distance, they can see black spots. White clouds are lingering on the mountain. There are a row of huge blue strange rocks of different shapes on the top of the mountain. Some are as wide and stable as Buddha statues, some are as oblique as human figures, some are as slender as blades, and some are hanging like arches, but basically you cannot see the buildings of Zizhu Temple. If you want to drive to Zizhu Temple, you need to take a fork in front of you and climb a 12-kilometer gravel-storing mountain dangerous road.
It is getting late. The altitude here is 3,200 meters and the altitude of the top of the mountain is 4,800 meters. Camping here is much more comfortable than Zizhu Temple, and there are toilets and trash cans for easy use. So they decided to visit Zizhu Temple the next day. At night, they looked south from here. The sky was covered with clouds and the surroundings were dark and quiet. Only the lights on the distant mountain top flashed, showing people the glory of thousands of years.
Drive a heavy RV on the 12-kilometer mountain road of Zizhu Temple is a test for Chen Xi. Not only is the slope steep and the bend is fast, but it is also not the right and wrong paved road . However, Chen Xi is very confident in herself now. She rejected the suggestion of a man to change the car with her. She stepped on the accelerator and rushed up with all her might. However, she couldn't climb halfway up the mountain. She couldn't do it even if she changed Li Jun and Lao Lin. She was seriously insufficient in power. It seems that this is not a driving technology problem, but this kind of two-wheel drive RV really can't get up.
There was no way, so Chen Xi had to sit on Lao Lin’s Futian bread to the top of the mountain.
It snowed last night in Zizhu Mountain. To be precise, it was just snowing on the top of the mountain. The climate here is completely different. Looking around, there are still green grass on the hillside, but there is a vast white area on the top of the mountain. The Tibetan-style dark purple building complex in Zizhu Temple is more eye-catching in the snow and has more prominent style.
317 National Highway has also had an experience that as long as it is on the steep, beautiful and unique mountain, there must be temple buildings. Zizhu Temple is the highest position, the most dangerous situation, and the most complex and huge building complex.
They don’t know religion and architecture at all. They only know that this is the Holy Land of Bon, which has a long history.
The most attractive self-driving tourists here are the buildings hanging on the strange rocks at the highest point of the mountain. It takes several dangerous ladders to reach, the closest place to the sky, and is said to be a place for monks to practice asceticism.
They walked along the path in the middle of the building, and almost no one was met. After walking for a long time, they only met a middle-aged monk with a kind face and smiled at them. Chen Xi was very interested in him and started chatting with him by asking for directions. The monk Mandarin knew a little, but he didn't say it well. After chatting for a while, he asked the three of them to sit in his residence.
The monk's room is not big, the furnishings are simple and clean. Apart from the basic tables, chairs, beds, stoves, and stoves, there are only some books. They drink tea while chatting, and drink not butter tea like a kind of black tea. They learned that the monk was actually less than 30 years old and had been studying and living in this temple for more than ten years.
Chen Xi actually wanted to know whether this monk could get married and start a family or not, or whether he would pay a salary, but he was afraid that these problems would offend others, so he asked him indirectly if he had any home in other places except living here.
The monk did not directly answer Chen Xi's question. He smiled and said, "I don't know if you have heard of it." Zizhu Temple is a temple in the sky. Those who come to Zizhu Temple are all people with destiny.
three people answered: "I have heard of it."
The monk asked: "Then you are here, what is the difference here? What is your fate?"
Chen Xi said: "I just look at the pictures and video introductions. I yearn for it. After I arrived, I feel that the scenery is really unique, and I don't feel destined yet."
