Although Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang's vacation ends tomorrow, it would take at least two days to tour the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, so Zhao Shuang made a phone call and asked for two more days of leave.
There was no way, because Zhao Shuang's father was the top leader of the project department. His daughter's boyfriend was accompanying his classmates, especially one of Sun Aoran's classmates, whose father was the mayor of Chuncheng. Zhao Shuang just revealed this relationship a little bit, and Zhao Shuang's father immediately agreed.
Since Sun Aoran and Zhao Shuang had two more days off, the four of them decided to march on foot.
You don’t know until you see it. Once Yang Jing and Gege saw the scenery of Tiger Leaping Gorge, they realized that there was such a spectacular place in the world.
In Gege's words, "This place is simply spectacular!"
The First Bend of the Yangtze River that I had just seen in the morning was spectacular enough, but the First Bend of the Yangtze River was a majestic spectacle, while the spectacle of Tiger Leaping Gorge was a breathtaking steepness.
As soon as we entered the Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge, we saw that the river, which was originally several hundred meters wide, suddenly narrowed to a few dozen meters wide. The roaring river water made a deafening rumble in the canyon, and the momentum was truly breathtaking.
To describe it in a myth, the brothers Yulong and Haba set up a trap here to prevent their beautiful cousin Jinsha from going east, and planned to take her back. Jinsha was beautiful but strong-willed. Facing the obstruction of her two cousins, even though the road ahead was so narrow and steep, she still burst out with unparalleled strength, roaring, struggling, and jumping unyieldingly all the way with an indomitable momentum, and finally broke through the obstruction of the brothers Yulong and Haba.
On the hiking trail to Shanghutiao, you can clearly see the huge Tiger Leaping Rock standing in the middle of the river, which divides the mighty and roaring river into two, stirring up towering water columns and waves, roaring like thunder, and rolling huge water splashes through the stone wall and flowing downstream.
When Yang Jing and the other four were standing by the plank road admiring Tiger Leaping Rock, they heard a tour guide nearby say to the tourists in her group through a loudspeaker: "Isn't this place beautiful?"
The tourists all nodded. No one would remain indifferent when seeing such a scenery.
"But this is also a very tragic place. Every year, people who are unable to get over their feelings jump off from here. Last year, in a group I led, there was a handsome young man over 1.8 meters tall. He was unable to get over his breakup with his girlfriend, so he jumped off here when we weren't paying attention..."
The tourists collectively exclaimed and looked towards Yang Jing and Sun Aoran. It turned out that the place the tour guide pointed to was where Yang Jing and the other four were standing.
Yang Jing and the others also heard the tour guide's voice. When they saw the reluctant expressions on the tourists' faces, it seemed as if Yang Jing and Sun Aoran were also the young man who was unable to get over the thought.
Yang Jing and Sun Aoran looked at each other and smiled bitterly. However, they quickly hugged their respective girlfriends, and Yang Jing said loudly: "Don't worry, we all have girlfriends. Our girlfriends are so nice, we brothers will not think of jumping down..."
The people around suddenly burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became very good.
Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge is the most precipitous section of the entire Tiger Leaping Gorge, but the most spectacular scenery is in Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, where you can see the Thirteen Peaks of Yulong in the south and the Haba Snow Mountain in the north.
It was almost two o'clock when Yang Jing and his companions arrived at Zhonghutiao. They had walked seven or eight kilometers, which Yang Jing didn't care about, but Sun Aoran and the other three could hardly bear it.
I had lunch at the Midway Inn, the price was fair and the taste was acceptable. Considering the location, the ingredients here are all brought in from outside, and it is good to have a bite of hot food. It is really good to have such a fair price and good taste.
After a short rest after the meal, the group went on a tour around Zhonghutiao until the sun completely sank behind the mountains, and then they returned to the inn. They would stay here at night, and go to Walnut Garden and Xiahutiao early tomorrow morning.
