I met the cold summer in Chongqing in Jinfo Mountain, Nanchuan. Have you ever experienced it?

Summer, especially in Chongqing, is a severe test of life; Of course, for people who often live in mountain cities, the scorching sun is like a firefly, and it is a necessary skill to be idle at high temperature.

But if it can be cooler and sweat less in summer, it is also a gratifying thing for Chongqing people. Therefore, in midsummer, finding a place to escape the heat is as natural as eating.

This time, we chose Jinfo Mountain.

Take the inner ring expressway around G65 on Banan boundary stone, or get off at Nanchuan Road and turn to National Highway 3 13 to the west gate of Jinfo Mountain, or get off at Wenfeng Toll Station and turn to National Highway 3 13. Cross Tianxing Hot Spring Town and you will arrive at the west gate of Jinfo Mountain Scenic Area.

Abandoning the car and heading for the scenic spot, the cloudy sky suddenly cleared up, and the bright sunshine made Jinfo Mountain the first host to meet us.

The scenic spot faithfully implements the national policy of free medical personnel, and gets free tickets without any problems, even the accompanying personnel are free, but they have to bear the transportation expenses of the ropeway and the bus in the scenic spot (medical personnel are free).

Go up the hill from here

Get on the bus when you enter the scenic spot, all the way? z？ Word,? s？ T-shaped Panshan Highway spirals upwards, and people are sent to the station on the west slope cableway at an altitude of 1 100 meters. It will take about 30 minutes. After getting off the bus, walk for a few minutes, board the cableway and climb to the top of the mountain smoothly.

Castle Peak, at your feet for a moment; White clouds blossomed, and soon fell to the fundus.

Cableway observation

This ropeway in Jinfo Mountain is the highest lifting height I have ever experienced, exceeding the amazing 900 meters. Through the transparent carriage, Cangshan Mountain is as steep as a flood, and Manglin stretches like a black dragon and dives into the depths.

There is no need to look, the world is in sight; Don't overlook, the mountains and rivers are painted in your heart.

My heart is stirring, sighing that this side is spectacular. Soul-stirring, feel the shock of my mountain.

Climbing to the top of the mountain is refreshing and very comfortable. LCD screens everywhere in the scenic area broadcast the temperature here: 16℃-22℃. Why not just ignore the tour route and feel it? Nine-handed tracing? Stone tablet, continue up the mountain along the wooden ladder. There is a faint bell in the ear, and you can climb to the Buddha's platform by following the sound. It is said that this is the best place to shoot Buddha's light.

sky blue

When the sky is cloudy, only the blue sky is exposed. Look at the deep valley on the left and the green hill on the right.

Yun Qi intermountain

My heart is full of excitement. Looking at the tourist map, I knew I was walking on the morning sun of the scarab. If I follow it, I can come to the only location of the movie "Love Letter between Beijing and Seattle" in China: the golden turtle Chaoyang.

Along the way, I stopped and went up and down, but I saw many rare plants, such as Rhododendron campanulata, Rhododendron latifolia and fragrant fruit trees. Squirrels are not afraid of people at all, dragging their big tails between wooden ladders and bushes to make adults and children pass by carefully, for fear that they will make a bigger move and disturb these elves in the mountains.

Jingui Chaoyang

Fresh and brisk all the way to the golden turtle Chaoyang observation deck. Classic aunt tour group standard, bright gauze towel torn, big flight action, occupying the platform.

Quickly find a tricky angle to exclude them, and the chafer Chaoyang is not willing to enter my photo.

Go ahead and step on the plank road on the ancient cliff. The road at the foot is abruptly picked out from the cliff, and here is the abyss, allowing people to see two wars. I was scared and scared, and came to Yanzidong.

Looking at the swallow cave outside the cave

Looking out from the swallow cave

Swallow Cave is named after a large number of short-billed Jin Siyan living in caves. It is a wide trumpet-shaped hole, and the depth of the cave is blocked by collapsed stones, so it is impossible to go deep. In the back, you can also see the remains of the ancients cooking nitrate.

The cliff plank road turned a big bend here. Miraculously, it was sunny just now and the world was clear and boundless. As soon as I got out of the swallow cave, I was at a loss. In the cold climate, it is really a child's face, and it changes as soon as it changes.

Wandering in the clouds

Looking out of the cliff again, everything was hidden except a white cloud.

When the east is not bright and the west is not bright, I can't see the scenery outside, so I take my children to learn the plant species on the cliff. It is not easy to know a certain plant species that you are interested in.

Impatiens rhombifolia

For example, this beautiful yellow flower has a strange pattern, and this flower is as famous as its name. I only know that I must have seen it, but I can't name it. Open Baidu search, Impatiens rhombifolia is it.

Not long after walking on the plank road, I entered another huge cave called Lingguan Cave.

At this time, there is a choice: either continue to go to the ecological stone forest along the cliff plank road, or go through Lingguan Cave and go to the ecological stone forest through another hole called Yangkou Cave.

Anyway, it's white fog outside and I can't see anything clearly. We naturally choose to travel through the underground world.

Electroluminescence is used in the cave, which only dimly illuminates the steps at the foot, which is mysterious. The cave space is very open, and you can vaguely see the high ceiling. There are collapsed stones everywhere except the roads cleared for tourists.

light

Groping forward in the dark, but taking a deep step in the light. Looking back suddenly, I feel trance or clear, and I can't tell them apart stupidly.

Less than 10 minutes after coming out of the hole, it began to rain outside, but it felt like years of dripping from the hole. This is a very steep way out of the hole. I got up panting and found that it was really raining heavily. I want to fall back into the cave for shelter from the rain, but I don't want to waste my energy.

Stay in the shadow of modesty and compare with God. As a result, in less than 3 minutes, the rain stopped and the clouds closed.

On a sunny day in Lu Yu, there was a gorgeous red tail noise, reddish brown head and neck, bright red wings and tail, bouncing on the stone steps and making a harsh and loud cry from time to time.

Red-tailed blackbird

The children held their breath and admired the beautiful creature with suppressed joy.

After the performance, the bright bird flew back to the bamboo forest on one side. I guess the low bamboo forests on both sides of the road may be the most famous specialty in Nanchuan? Mother of bamboo shoots.

I started to climb the stone road again, and I didn't go far before I reached the ecological stone forest.

There are many small scenic spots in Shilin, such as Lover's Valley, Hundred Horses Array and many beautiful mountains and rivers, but from my point of view, they are all very ordinary. After visiting Lover Valley, I went back to the original road, walked to the bus transfer station, and went to the ancient Buddha Cave along expressway.

Walking slowly on the expressway, I saw white fog rolling down from one side of the hillside, almost like lightning, which enveloped the world and us. The heavy rain began without hesitation; Before I could complain, I turned into the stone ladder on the side of the road and didn't even get close to the next big tree that could shelter from the rain. The rain stopped again. However, the fog never dispersed.

The green mountain scenery is so strong that it moistens the clothes.

I think of Wang Wei's poem In the Mountains.

The stream of the river has been flowing for less than a day, and white stones are exposed on the riverbed. The weather is getting colder and the red leaves on the branches are becoming scarce. There is no rain on the winding mountain road, the smoke is misty in the dense pine trees, and the water vapor is heavy, as if to flow, and then the clothes of passers-by.

Very apt poetry, I forgot the fatigue of walking. Walking all the way on the mountain road, the clouds are transpiration, just like a fairyland.

The fog of not seeing people in ten steps gives people a very unreal experience. But it doesn't prevent us from looking for wild flowers by the roadside.

Yuen long fairyland

Of course, I don't want to give one to my mother either. I just want to read one to my wife? Sister, I'm in Delingha tonight? The deep yearning of lonely people is the most beautiful flower and the most selfish return of love, because at some point: I don't care about human beings, I just want you.

Unconsciously, I walked to the ancient Buddha cave and the fog became thicker. It is impossible to take pictures of the towering gatehouse.

I went straight into the cave, and it was foggy all the way. There seems to be a smile in front of me, so I took a photo decisively.

Michelia Maitreya

When I got closer, I found that it was a Maitreya Buddha. The passage turned a corner here, and there was no fog.

However, we have never had a chance to remember the temperature. At this time, we have to realize that it is a little cold, and it feels only a dozen degrees by experience, but we still put on our summer clothes.

The road is a little narrow, the ceiling is not high, and there are abrupt rocks protruding from time to time. Everyone's attention is more focused on walking. Therefore, the cold is not insurmountable.

After walking down in the cave passage for about ten minutes, the front suddenly became clear. We suddenly entered a vast underground Buddhist country.

How to describe it? From the extreme of constraint to the extreme of opposition, the psychological extreme will be reversed: forget to marvel and let nature take its course.

Underground Buddha country

Staring at it for a long time, it is obvious that there are four giant Buddha statues in the extremely spacious cave: the Buddha sits around the lotus platform and Guanyin stands in the water?

The deep chill spreads from the skin to the internal organs, which is linked with the immediate shock and makes people feel chilly.

I can't help wandering in the hall, crossing my hands in front of every giant Buddha, not for faith, but for admiration.

There is a dark cave on the right side of the hall. I unconsciously raised my mobile phone and took a photo.

Meditate?

I clearly saw a Buddha statue in the camera, but there seems to be nothing in the photo. Doubt in my heart, I came to the left side of the main hall and counted slowly in front of thousands of colorful arhats.

It's really too cold. The temperature in Chongqing in winter will not be lower than here. At this time, I met the coldest summer in Chongqing. However, the fine works of carving art are presented in front of us, which makes people linger.

I don't know how many arhats I counted. Incredibly, there are so many lifelike Luohan sculptures, but I didn't find any overlapping faces. It's amazing!

Finally, at the strong request of the children, we left the ancient Buddha cave. But if there is an opportunity, I will definitely come back and come in wearing a down jacket and stay as long as I want.

When I walked back to the mouth of the cave, it began to rain again, and there was a growing trend. But I have understood the alpine climate, just like that well-known poem: Rising in the East and Falling in the West, the Tao is ruthless and affectionate.

The rain will definitely stop. Ten minutes later, the rain stopped and the fog dispersed.

Full of green

I walked out of the ancient Buddha cave and looked forward. Full of green and vitality!
