The feeling of driving into Nujiang Gorge will soon be different. A mountain range with a height difference of more than 1000 meters on both sides seems to compress everything in a narrow space. Surprisingly, the Qinghe River is not turbulent, and some paragraphs are even like tiled jade cloth. It is such a picturesque river that breeds a large population, and the density of houses on the hillside on both sides of the strait can be seen. The fields with amazing slopes on the mountain are also a landscape.
I have been to Nujiang River on October 20, 2008. As far as I can remember, the road is very narrow, and sometimes the half lane near the river suddenly collapses and disappears. Only then did I know how versatile the bulldozer is, and it can restore the broken road when retreating. Will it be the same this time?
From Lushui County, the paved road is smooth and smooth. Compared with the past, there is a two-way plastic trail/bicycle lane on the riverside, which is said to be repaired to Bingzhongluo immediately. According to online search, the greenway of Nujiang Meili Highway is 278.35km long and will be started in the middle of 20021year, with a planned construction period of one year. Looking at this modern trail, I look forward to stopping by bike at any time to see the scenery. It is really better to observe every inch of the beautiful scenery of Nujiang River at close range than to take a bus.
Standing on the observation deck before entering Bingzhongluo, overlooking Xianren Town under the snowy mountain dome, I suddenly felt a little incongruous-the extra roads tore the whole sense of the town, and I couldn't proudly say to my family: Look, it's Xianren. Looking down, Peach Blossom Island, which once had only one iron bridge leading to the outside world, not only had a second highway bridge, but also was entangled in a newly-built expressway, and the significance of independence from the world disappeared.
Going further into the Nujiang River, wuli village, who used to stand on a dirt road and look across the hillside, seems to have lost some flavor. The Yunnan-Tibet border, which used to feel that only one car was allowed to pass through, was as wide as a town road, while Qiunatong village, which used to feel difficult to enter, had a cement road up the mountain to take you across Qiunatong and into a deeper hinterland and deeper village.
"If you want to be rich, build roads first" is a wise saying. For local people, it is convenient to communicate with the world when the road is repaired to the door, and the difference between urban and rural areas is disappearing at an extremely fast speed. This is a blessing, right? Locals can't always stay in difficult places, and they have no obligation to stay with Gu Zhuo for the curiosity of outsiders.
The Nujiang River is still beautiful, but the wild beauty is being replaced by the tame beauty. People who want to see nature should do it early, which is the feeling of Nujiang.
