The walking koi started from winning the first prize in the lottery

After getting up early on the second day, Wu Shuangshuang cooked herself a porridge and steamed two milk-flavored steamed buns.

Then we set off to Yanjing, a thousand-year-old salt field.

From the Meili Snow Mountain Scenic Area, drive towards the thousand-year-old salt field of Yanjing, a total of more than 100 kilometers.

Because the distance is not easy to walk, it takes about two and a half hours to drive.

The closer he got there, the more excited Wu Shuangshuang became.

Because my country's most primitive manual salt-drying method is still preserved there, Wu Shuangshuang is very curious and has longed for it. He wants to see with his own eyes this thousand-year craft that is said to have lasted from the Tang Dynasty to the present.

In order to see the complete thousand-year-old salt field, Wu Shuangshuang also brought a drone so that he could take panoramic shots from a high altitude angle.

The mountain road is quite difficult to walk. I followed the navigation and found that the cement road turned into a dirt road two to three hundred meters away from the destination. There was a small sign on the roadside.

Wu Shuangshuang estimated the width of the dirt road and the width of the RV, but was not confident that he could continue driving.

So he decided to park the car on the side of the road, and after finding a spot that didn't block the cars behind him and parking the RV, Wu Shuangshuang took Huang Dahuang and got out of the car.

I didn’t see any other tourists along the way, so bringing rhubarb with me doubled my sense of security.

We walked there, and after walking for a while we saw rows of logs in the distance, supporting the salt fields.

It's very spectacular when you get closer. Each salt field has a different color.

There are pink ones, rust-colored ones, and cyan-green ones.

But most of the shades are reddish and look like earth-colored eye shadows, which are very spectacular and interesting.

These salt fields are scattered on both sides of the Lancang River.

There are local people selling salt on the roadside. They have dark skin and wear straw hats or cloth hats.

A few aunties who looked like rural women were hawking enthusiastically, saying that if they bought two packs of salt, they could take Wu Shuangshuang to visit the salt fields.

"How can I sell this salt?"

After hearing Wu Shuangshuang ask about the price, the eyes of the middle-aged woman in front of her, wearing a sweatshirt that looked like a school uniform that her children had discarded, lit up.

"Our salt is not expensive, and the salt is very good. Look at this one for 5 yuan, and this one for 10 yuan. The quality is very good. Buy some and try it back! Buy two packs and I will take you to visit our salt fields." Auntie has dark skin. , but the eyes look particularly dark and bright.

Because Wu Shuangshuang was very curious about the salt fields, she bought a pack of 5 yuan and a pack of 10 yuan, totaling only 15 yuan.

These two packets of salt will probably last you a long time on your RV.

The other aunts who set up stalls selling salt all looked envious.

After Wu Shuangshuang paid the money, the aunt took Wu Shuangshuang and asked him to follow behind, while the aunt led the way.

Unexpectedly, after entering the salt field, the world would be completely different.

The view below is a bit dim, and the salt fields are overhead. The path is not wide, and you can reach the wooden poles supporting the salt field with your hand.

The road is difficult to walk, even a little narrow, but you can clearly see many salt crystals hanging upside down under each salt field, like ice skates hanging from the eaves in winter, one after another.

It feels like entering the Crystal Palace, and it also looks a bit like hanging stalactites, which is particularly magical.

Each salt field is supported by several logs. It looks unstable, but it can stand for thousands of years.

As we walked deeper, we realized that all the salt here comes from the large salt well in front of us.

The walls around the salt well are khaki, but they are quite smooth. They must have been specially renovated later.

The aunt told Wu Shuangshuang that salt water came out of the ground.

Wu Shuangshuang asked curiously, "It came out of the ground?"

"Yes, yes, the water from the Lancang River next to us is different from the water coming out of our salt well.

We poured the water from the salt well into the salt fields. When it was first poured in, it was clear and greenish in color. "The aunt said while pointing to a salt field at hand.

"After enough water evaporates under the sun, it will condense into salt. Look at this salt field." Wu Shuangshuang followed her aunt's hand and looked over. Sure enough, it was completely different from the previous salt field.

I heard from my aunt that here women are responsible for drying salt, while men are responsible for selling salt out.

As she walked, the aunt broke off a section from the small salt pillar hanging above her head and handed it to Wu Shuangshuang, "Try it!"

Wu Shuangshuang took it and licked it, "Eh~~ It's so salty!"

"Hahaha, right, it's salty, this is salt. This is the most natural and best salt!" Auntie chatted with Wu Shuangshuang as she walked.

Even though this place is famous all over the country, in fact, it doesn’t make much money throughout the year.

I have three school-going children in my family, and the whole family relies on salt to survive. It is not easy to provide for the children's schooling and daily expenses.

There are not many tourists now, but they still insist on selling salt on the roadside every day. They can sell a little bit to supplement their family income.

Wu Shuangshuang was very emotional after hearing this, "Well... Auntie, when you go up there later, you can help me get a few bags of salt. I want to take it home and share it with my relatives and friends at home."

"Oh, really? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, girl. I know you mean well. How can ordinary families eat this salt? You are helping me to make my life easier. Don't worry, I will wait for you. I'll get you a better package and pack it for you." The aunt smiled very happily, with a hard-working and simple smile on her dark face that is unique to working people.

Wu Shuangshuang never expected that during a trip to the salt fields, he would be able to see the human stories behind these salt fields.

I am so happy to live in a land of plenty with beautiful mountains and clear waters and good weather.

One side raises one person.

Wu Shuangshuang's hometown is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The plains are particularly affluent, but the people here have their backs to the Lancang River and have relied on salt fields for generations. They lead a completely different life.

I hope my aunt’s children can study hard and receive a better education.

Their generation is the hope of the country, unlike my aunt's generation.

They have the opportunity to receive education and change their destiny. They hope that they will not let down the expectations of their families in the future.

Wu Shuangshuang turned on the drone and overlooked the entire Yantian and Lancang River. It was so spectacular and beautiful.

The perspective of overlooking the salt field and entering the salt field are completely different.

Viewed from a high altitude, this thousand-year-old ancient salt field is actually not very large. It really looks like an earth-toned eyeshadow palette.

However, this is the original salt-drying process created by generations of salt well people living on both sides of the Lancang River with their own craftsmanship, and this process has lasted for thousands of years.

They work hard here to make a living, creating a unique landscape on both sides of the Lancang River.

When leaving, Wu Shuangshuang was still sighing that the people here are so simple. It cost 15 yuan for two packs of salt and no entrance fee, and he could still take himself for a ride.

Walking around while giving one-on-one explanations like a tour guide, it's well worth the money.
