    Denali National Park, Alaska

    History

    Within Denali National Park, the Toklat River will always have a special significance, as it was the location where naturalist Charles Sheldon built a cabin and was so moved that he fought to preserve the land. He moved back east and spent nine years lobbying (游说)to create Alaska's first national park.

    When to Visit

    To avoid the crowds, visit in June, but keep in mind that there are up to 21 hours of sunlight in Alaska in summer. If it seems like a bit much for your taste, try visiting in late August or September.

    If you visit to climb Mount McKinley, May and early June are the best times to climb.

    Major Attractions

    It is difficult not to see Denali's largest attraction towering 20,320 feet high. Mount McKinley can even be seen up to 70 miles away on a clear day. If you brave the climb to the top, you will be rewarded with charming views of the Alaska Range.

    Sable Pass is a prime spot to view grizzly bears. Closed to off-road foot traffic, the area is popular for bears feeding on berries, roots, and even occasionally on other mammals.

    Beginning at just below the summit of Mount McKinley, Muldrow Glacier flows 35 miles through a gorge and across the tundra. Twice in the last hundred years, the Muldrow has surged (涌动), most recently in the winter of 1956-1957.

Accommodation

    Five campgrounds are located within the park, and many are open from late spring to early fall.Note: reservations are strongly recommended during summer. Riley Creek campground is open all year round, and all but two (Sanctuary and Wonder Lake) offer RV (可供居住的大篷车)sites.

    Also within the park are a few lodges (旅馆)—North Face Lodge, Denali Backcountry Lodge and Kentishna Roadhouse.

    To most people, tea is just a drink. But to Ye Qitong, a Da Hong Pao master grower and blender (配制工) in Wuyishan City, the drink is a work of art. He always wants the traditional skill to keep alive. The 75-year-old man is Wuyi Mountains' most famous tea expert and the local farmers all raise their thumbs as a sign of respect when referring to him.

    Ye says Da Hong Pao tea is a good friend and he spends a huge amount of his time dealing with it and trying to better understand it. Most of Ye's time is spent researching blending skills and passing on his knowledge to students. Ye's biggest concern is that the number of people who can master traditional Da Hong Pao tea blending skills and have truly got its essence (本质) is still too low. As the masters grow older, Ye is worried that these skills may be lost and the long-lasting aroma (芳香) of Da Hong Pao will grow weak.

    "Wuyishan has more than 1,800 tea producers. However, as machinery entered the process (流程), workers are fewer and fewer and they really just press buttons, so they never learn the traditional skills connected to picking and blending," he said.

    "The situation is very worrying, but I am relieved that the recent booming (繁荣的) market for Da Hong Pao tea has prompted (激起) a desire among many young people to learn necessary skills," he said.

    He advises the local government to build some schools to encourage the master blenders and growers to teach more students. He believes that this is the only way to solve the problem.

    "Da Hong Pao tea is a drink with a life of its own. People can almost taste the history, culture, spirits and moods that completely used up the masters who make it," he said.
