I believe time will remember-Travel Notes of Mount Emei

Because of their dreams, they made a brave choice, and they went through thick and thin.

Because I have a dream, I set out bravely. If I choose to set out, I only care about hardships.

One of Zhao Lei's songs, Chengdu, became popular in this land of abundance. Although I am a vulgar woman, I can't help being moved by it. So, I met my friends, packed my bags and went all the way south to the distant land of Bashu. Now, it's been a while since the trip ended, and I haven't started writing yet, but I always feel that I don't write anything, as if I ignored the beauty of time. After all, I can't stand the inner agitation. I wrote down what I saw and felt on the road and would like to share it with you.

DAY 1 Harbin Taiping international airport-> Chengdu Shuangliu airport?

When I first saw Chengdu, it was midnight. After getting off the plane, we went directly to the hotel booked in advance and had a good sleep. When we opened our eyes, the sun was not dazzling, and it was raining outside the window. Our departure time is the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival. In order to avoid the peak, we decided to go to Leshan and Emei Mountain first, and then go back to Chengdu to play. So after planning a day's trip with my friend Mozzie, I left the hotel in a hurry and took the high-speed train to Leshan. As soon as I got out of the hotel, the faint fragrance of flowers came to my nose. The yellow flowers on a tree are fresh and elegant. When I first met Chengdu, it was drizzling and smelled of apricot flowers.

Buddha is a mountain, and the mountain is a Buddha.

The next day? Chengdu Shuangliu Airport-> Leshan->; emeishan city

At that time, a movie dominated the world and let me know about Leshan Giant Buddha. It takes less than an hour by high-speed train from Shuangliu Airport to Leshan, and there is a scenic through train 15 yuan. There are two routes to visit the Giant Buddha. One is to get in touch with the Buddha on foot, and the other is to take a boat along the river to see the panoramic view of the Buddha and the reclining Buddha. We chose the hiking route. There are some fly restaurants outside the scenic spot, and the prices are reasonable, but the hygiene and taste are really flattering. Therefore, it is recommended that friends who come here bring their own lunch. We put a bag here and ordered beef noodles and rice noodles. Xiao Er asked us how much pepper to put, and I blurted out "put it normally". Xiao er opened his eyes wide and showed an expression of surprise. I suddenly realized that the definition of spicy in this province, which is famous for Chili peppers, seems to be different from that in the north, so I quickly changed my mouth and said it should be slightly spicy ... but it was too spicy, and I only ate half a bowl. We bought tickets at the self-service ticket vending machine and followed the crowd up the hill. As soon as I entered the mountain gate, a huge Buddha statue more than two meters high appeared in front of me. It is said that this was written by Su Dongpo, a master calligrapher. Climbing the stairs, the trees are lush and drizzling. Looking down the hill, you can see the vast Minjiang River. There are many Buddha caves on the cliffs along the way, and there are many smaller Buddha statues in them. Due to the special stone material and the rainy local area, many small stone statues have weathered, leaving only a vague outline. I can't help but sigh that time has passed and the years are ruthless. Looking closely at the Buddha, sitting in danger, eyes slightly narrowed, solemn and kind. As if quietly listening to the story of the Millennium, guarding all sentient beings.

We lined up for a long time along the zigzag plank road. After more than an hour, we finally went down to the bottom of the giant Buddha and looked up at the 7 1 meter giant Buddha. People look so small. The joys and sorrows in the world, left behind by such thick soil and stagnant water, eventually turned into a wisp of wind, a grain of dust and a drop of rain, and there was no more waves in the sound of the morning bell and the evening drum.

Life is a practice, short is a trip, long is a lifetime. We set foot all the way, missed all the way, looked back all the way, but we still have to move forward after all.

When we got off Leshan, we took a minibus from the travel agency and went straight to Emei Mountain.

In order to climb the mountain conveniently, we chose to stay in a hotel near Emei Mountain attached to Guobao Temple. Although the hotel has an elegant environment, its cost performance is low, so we only stayed for one night. It is recommended that friends choose a nearby budget hotel. The booking price on Meituan is cheap and the accommodation conditions are good.

Put down your luggage and have a rest. We can't wait to taste the local food.

Emei Mountain is a small city, and the starting price of taxis is 5 yuan, so it is charged by the meter. According to the strategy prepared in advance, we took a taxi to Dongmen and tasted the local delicacies Dongmen bean curd and stubble beef. The boss of bean curd brain was very enthusiastic and introduced us to various customs of Mount Emei. After a few words, our identity as a Northeastern was exposed. We have lived in Harbin for a long time. I didn't know that our northeast accent recognition was so high. I also sat next to a table of Jilin fellow villagers. Tofu brain tastes salty, with more meat than tofu, and it is not as light as expected.

Stubby beef soup pot is a local delicacy in Leshan. It is said that the principle of traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy of "nourishing pollution with pollution" is emphasized. The taste is simple and rude. A large pot made of beef bones, then roll all parts of the cow back and forth in boiling beef soup, put it into a small bowl, pour beef soup, and sprinkle with celery and chopped green onion. We only ordered a plate of beef and some vegetables, and the beef was full.

After dinner, we walked around again, felt the life in this small town, and then went back to the hotel to rest and prepare to climb the mountain tomorrow.

The third day? Mount Emei-> Dong Leiping-> Jinding-> Guobao Temple

The mountain didn't speak when I walked past it. When I passed the seaside, the sea didn't speak. The donkey hooked on the heavenly sword and accompanied me to earth. Everyone said that I became a monk in Emei Mountain because I loved Yang Daxia. In fact, I just like the clouds on Mount Emei, much like the fireworks at the age of sixteen.

-To Guo Xiang.

As the saying goes, "There are many fairy mountains in Sichuan, and Emei is beautiful". Only when you really arrive at Emei Mountain can you appreciate its elegance. To reach the top of Mount Emei, you must first take the only local means of transportation-sightseeing bus. Although sightseeing bus is actually a bus with a good seat belt, you can take a ticket to 95 yuan three times. Generally speaking, the tourist route is to go to Dongleiping, that is, halfway up the mountain, and then walk or take the cableway to Jinding. When going down the mountain, take a bus from Dong Leiping to Wuxiangang, visit Qingyin Pavilion, Yixiantian and Monkey Natural Ecological Monkey Area, and then take a bus down the mountain. We got up early, bought tickets at the passenger center and went into the mountain. Panshan Highway is like a black dragon, winding. You can see patches of bamboo forests along the way. The stream is crystal clear and foggy all the way. When you arrive at Ping, the temperature is much colder than that on the mountain. It can be said that one mountain has four seasons, and ten miles are different. The air on the mountain is moist and fresh, and it is rare to drop water. I feel that every breath is a natural SPA for the lungs. Long after I come back, I will often recall the air in Emei Mountain when I close my eyes. We walked up the wet and mossy stone steps and were lucky to meet three monkey spirits looking for food. The monkeys here are not afraid of people at all. They can easily unscrew the bottle cap, unzip the zipper and ask tourists for food unscrupulously. It's really outstanding This monkey is almost a genius.

We climbed all the way, full of devout believers, tourists sitting on the slide bar and some roadside stalls. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way, and finally reached the ropeway leading to Jinding. 65 yuan, Jinding Cableway. I was hoping to have a bird's eye view of Emei from the cableway. As a result, a cableway carries dozens of tourists, and we are like canned lilacs, one next to the other. What I see in front of me is not only the head, but also the head. But it only takes a few minutes to get to Jinding, so I think it's worth it. The Jinding of Emei Mountain is more than 3000 meters above sea level. You can enjoy the panoramic view of Emei here. Climbing the Jinding is like being in another world. Suddenly enlightened, ethereal and changeable, the sky is blue, and it is a vast sea of clouds, like heaven and earth. Jinding in the sun is more brilliant, simple and solemn. The golden statue of Samantabhadra is radiant, the Buddha's light is bright, and everything is quiet and solemn. People who came to visit and burn incense were cautious, and everything was shocked by the majesty of the Bodhisattva. According to records, this Buddha statue is the largest ten-faced Pu Xian statue in the world. The 48-meter-high Golden Buddha Hall represents the 48 wishes of Amitabha. "Ten Directions" is Pu Xian's ten wishes, and the other symbolizes the ten directions of Buddhism, namely, east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest, up and down, which means that Pu Xian's endless wishes can fulfill all buddhas and sentient beings of the Ten Directions III. Pu Xian's ten heads are divided into three layers, with different expressions, representing ten kinds of mentality in the world.

We took photos near Jinding as a souvenir, and found many small signs on the edge of the cliff, which read "Always remember, people who love you are waiting for you at home". It was a little strange at that time, but later we learned that it is said that jumping off a cliff here can live forever, so this is the place with the highest suicide rate. In order to deter all living beings, this card was set up.

Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in the world: birth and death, love and separation, long-term resentment and longing, so all beings are suffering. In this world, everyone has his own suffering, more or less, no one can be spared. However, Buddha is merciful, and life is a miracle of nature and the most primitive desire of human beings. I think the Buddha will blame him for giving up his name easily, whether he is relieved of suffering or dies in bliss. In the face of suffering, what we have to do is not to complain about how unfortunate our life is, but to laugh at the mediocrity of our life. What we have to do is to dry our tears, move on, make ourselves stronger and gain a foothold in this skilled society. If there is no light in your world, create a beam of light for yourself instead of giving up easily.

After all, people are group animals. Sometimes, living is not only to add luster to your own life, but also to create brilliance for the lives of people who love you around you.

After getting off at Jinding, we planned to go to Yin Qing Pavilion and Yixiantian along the way. However, due to the long time in Jinding, the driver said that we had missed the monkey's foraging time in the ecological monkey area, so we decided not to get off at Wuxiangang, but to go straight down to Guobao Temple.

Located at the foot of Mount Emei, Guobao Temple is the starting point of Mount Emei and the center of Buddhist activities in Mount Emei. We didn't enter the temple because of time. It's a pity to think about it now. After dinner, we went downtown again. The downtown area here is not big. 15 yuan can take a trip around the city in human tricycles with a shed. We sat on a tricycle and chatted with the driver, Kan Kan, about the local customs and Buddhist culture of Emei, which benefited us a lot.

The specialty that I have to buy when I come to Emei Mountain is Emei Snow Bud Bamboo Leaf Green, which has the reputation of a gentleman in tea. The so-called "one mountain and one tea, Emei snow bud" is produced in the alpine tea area of Emei Mountain at an altitude of 800 ~ 1200m, surrounded by mountains all around, surrounded by clouds all year round and dense bamboo forests. The annual average temperature is suitable for the growth of bamboo leaf green tea. Picking bamboo leaves in spring, screening the new leaves, one bud and one leaf, and making them through the processes of deactivating enzymes, rolling and baking. The finished tea is mainly green. There are two grades: taste and static. Static tea is better than delicious tea. Looking at it exquisitely pleasing to the eye, it won the interest of Emei Mountain water. The taste is fragrant and refreshing, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Although I don't know much about tea, I also learn from the local people to taste tea, chat and experience the slow-paced Bashu life.

The fourth day? Mount Emei Wannian Temple-> Yin Qing Pavilion-> Day Tour-> Natural Ecological Monkey Area-> Chengdu City.

The next day, we got up early again and bought a ticket to Wuxiangang directly at the passenger center, with a round trip of 40 yuan. After getting off the bus, the first stop is Wannian Temple, which is one of the oldest ancient temples in Emei Mountain. The temple is full of incense and antique. This is the Dojo of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, and we worship devoutly in the temple. There are two routes to leave Wannian Temple, so we have enough time to walk down the stone steps, and it is beautiful all the way. Lush bamboo forests, trickling streams and stone murals left by ancient and modern celebrities walk between mountains and rivers, as if wandering in a fairyland on earth. Without thinking, I stopped to stare, and how many monks' footprints were left on the road between the cliffs of Qingquan, and how many brilliant Buddhist sounds were stained. Everything is spiritual. I never know whether this turbulent and clear spring has ever been lonely and tearful, and I have also had the impetuous heart of joining the WTO. However, everything floats with the wind, just like a girl's troubles. The so-called sight of the sky, both sides are stone walls, people walk inside. Looking up at the sky, there is only one line left in the blue sky, and the ecological monkey area is not far behind the first line of sky. Before I came here, I heard that the monkeys here were very naughty, so I specially prepared several bags of monkey food. At first, I didn't see any monkeys, only a few embarrassed tourists came across. We hurried forward and asked if there were many monkeys ahead. An uncle said helplessly,' So many ... I won't let go of my clothes ... My food has been robbed ...' This ... sure enough, I didn't walk a few steps. Suddenly, I heard someone screaming, "Monkey!" Looking at the trend, many monkeys, large and small, sit in groups on trees, steps and cliffs. When someone passes by, they scramble to eat, and they won't leave until they give it. Well, it's not a monkey, it's a robber ... We followed the crowd carefully. Suddenly, a big monkey jumped behind my head, scaring me to shout and never dare to go any further. In desperation, we can only go back to a crowded place, Doby, a lonely little monkey.

I would like to remind all friends that tourists must buy two or three bags of monkey food after entering the monkey area. Because the monkey will suddenly climb on your body and shoulders at any time, don't panic at this moment, especially don't scream and try to get the monkey off. Because screaming may scare monkeys and lead to being besieged by monkeys; It's even more impossible to get the monkey down. They are more flexible than humans and may be scratched by monkeys. In general, they don't hurt people, they just want to eat, so bribing monkeys with food is the best and only way.

We were exhausted after fighting with the monkey. After stopping to visit some unknown scenery, we boarded the mountain in sightseeing bus. At this point, the two-day trip to Mount Emei is coming to an end.

In life, there are always many things I don't know how to give up, but I am passionate about them. The beauty of time lies in the traces of years engraved between meeting and parting. There are no traces in the sky, but birds just fly by. Time flies, a song without words, has been lingering in my heart. Besides reading, there is still hope. In the world of mortals, how many beautiful scenery I have seen, how many journeys I have traveled, how many feelings are flowers waiting to see from the water, and how many people can't reach the other side. I'm just looking back on you warmly, but you, it's already my turn.
