Day 7 Yinchuan - Ordos.
Way. Constantly moving west and west, the prominent feeling is that the sun is setting later and later. It's almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and the sun in Ordos is still shining. The sunset on the western border of the motherland does not give you a bleak imagination of dying breath at all. The desert is lonely, the sun sets over the long river, and the sunset carries a ruthless and brutal energy, as if the murderous spirit of the Mongolian iron cavalry sweeping away the army still exists.
Today's main arrangement for the day is to run around on the road, if not counting the visit to the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan. According to the travel agency's calculations, today's journey takes five and a half hours to reach Ordos from Yinchuan. And in fact, time is far ahead. Although I don't think it's particularly painful to run around. It's not just me who gets fun taking pictures of the scenery outside the window, but everyone has their own place. You look at a carload of people, there are non-stop eating, eating with relish;I was expected to wake up and sleep in a daze with the grassland outside the window, and wake up and wake up and sleep again;There are also rummaging through the small food warehouse where they store, thinking about getting off the bus and buying something;There are even more thoughtful people who are seriously considering which hat to wear for the next scenic spot photoshoot, and of course, there are also people who twist their waists and stretch their arms to pat their heads to move their bodies, and so on.
But how can it not be counted as the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan?Maybe you think it's just a virtual cemetery, because the real Genghis Khan's burial place has long been lost to the dust of history. Perhaps you think that this cemetery, which has been renovated in recent years, does not even touch a single edge of historical relics. Maybe you still think that how to evaluate Genghis Khan, how to look at the Mengyuan Empire, what kind of conclusions there are. But I'll tell you, you're thinking about it too much. Regardless of the fact that the old site of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum was originally here, although it was renovated;Not to mention how many white bones were accumulated in the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty;But these are ultimately part of the history of the Chinese nation. And as far as the Great Khan himself is concerned, it cannot but be said that he is an unprecedented historical figure throughout the ages. The Mongolian iron cavalry under his command has created a wonder in the history of human warfare. Aren't you very interested in military history?How can you pass through the tomb and not enter?
Poetry and distance, we walk on the ancient road of history, walking in the dust of classical poetry.
Reading the rise and fall of the catastrophe, the literature of the two dynasties is in decline.
There is no official who has not harmed Zhou Su, and there is a history of deep sorrow and loss of Chu bow.
The palace is sad and the night fire, so the arbor cries the autumn wind.
The country is unfortunate and the poet is prosperous, and he is endowed with vicissitudes of life.
Clear. Zhao Yi's "Collection of Inscriptions".
It's been 7 days since I came out, and I'm more than halfway through the trip. This morning crossed the border between Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. The boulder Helan Mountain is gradually fading away on the horizon, making me reluctant to give up, goodbye, gloomy Helan Mountain!In the Huimin service area of the expressway, the boundary between Ningxia and Inner Mongolia is crossed, and then the semi-desert grassland of Ordos stretches into the distant sky. Prairie walking is the main goal of the senior mountaineering team's trip, and in the next seven days, we will visit or pass by ten savannahs.
However, I don't think the previous trip to Jinshanning was a formality. In fact, the three mountains (Heng Mountain, Wutai Mountain, Helan Mountain), two rivers (Yellow River, Fen River) and one waterfall (Hukou) are particularly splendid. Heng Mountain and Wutai Mountain are roughly written in the previous essays and are far from enough;In particular, the close contact with Helan Mountain, although it is only the edge of Helan Mountain, but its difference compared with the mountains in the Central Plains is not amazing. Now that's all behind us. It is not so much that the most beautiful scenery is on the road, but that heaven is always ahead.
Overnight stay at Tianjiao Hotel in Ordos. It turned out that there was also a tour to visit the "ghost town" of Combus, which was somehow cancelled. An empty city built with the wind, big and inappropriate, costly and meaningless, if you don't go, you won't go. There are many cashmere products stores on the streets of Ordos, which are basically empty. Fruit on the street is cheap, and now is the time for fruits such as peaches and apricots to hit the market.
After entering Inner Mongolia, there is an interesting phenomenon on the expressway. Because there are fewer vehicles, many service areas on the highway are closed. Even in the open service area, the parking lot is empty. Speaking of the service area, if there is a special coincidence in the world, I have come across it. At noon, we rested and dined in the "Bojianghai" service area. After a light lunch, I went to the other side of the service area to take a few photos of the distant peaks. As I searched the footage, something hit me from ......behindThankfully, it's not heavy. I looked back and saw that there was no one and no car in the empty parking lot, but the car had hit me. The door opened, and the female driver, with a panicked face, got down and kept saying a thousand sorry. I still haven't been trained in acting, so why can't I just fall down and be in extreme pain and reach out for money. Having said that, it is fortunate that the female driver did not use the accelerator as a brake when reversing. The point is that it's so strange, it's hard to aim and hit a person in such an empty and majestic parking lot. Well, cherish life and stay away from female drivers, I remembered.
