You Shuangta Mountain

I went to Chengde before the 11th National Day. I have been to the summer resort, Waiba Temple and Bangcroquet Mountain before, and I have seen them and stepped on them. I went to Shuangta Mountain this time.

? When I stayed at Chengde Pearl Hotel, I felt a bit like a VIP. The hotel is separated from the summer resort by a wall, about14km away from Shuangta Mountain Scenic Area. After breakfast of mutton soup and sesame seed cake in Pingquan, I took Yuxiang's family of three to prepare to go. During the waiting time, I chatted with an old man and told him that the No.5 bus and 15 bus all went to Shuangta Mountain. It is not necessarily not fun to play by car in Chengde city, but it can also save some money. Waiting for the bus is a little longer, and there are many passengers on the bus. From time to time, the names of stations, the Temple of Fire, the first archway, the second archway and Yuanbaoshan are broadcast on the bus. This antique place name makes people feel like they have stepped into it for a long time when they close their eyes. In the bustling streets, vendors peddle, ride horses, sit in sedan chairs and carry goods in trolleys, regardless of age. A beautiful girl, a strong young man, a tough old man, an official with a knife on his head, a rich man in silk and satin ..., with a clash, one foot braked, and a cry of "The Twin Towers are here" brought me back to reality.

? Get off the bus and you will see the gate of Shuangta Mountain Scenic Area. Ancient costume, of course. It's very eye-catching. Admission to 50 yuan is half-price for people over 60 and free for people over 70. I don't know if the birthday girl with more than 100 can send some scattered ones

? Opposite the entrance of the scenic spot, there is an exhibition hall in addition to introducing the schematic diagram of the scenic spot. It's very pocket-sized. The glass showcase downstairs is the epitome of the royal etiquette of the Qing Dynasty. The men's and women's flags are very realistic, and the pictures of the Eight Banners armor on the wall are colorful. Imagine the colorful parade of the Eight Banners. The manager said, "No photos", and the mobile phone I took out was honestly put back in my pocket.

? I went up the wooden stairs to the second floor, which startled me. Life-size figures appeared in front of me. The yellow robe must be the emperor, sitting in the middle, and the people sitting around can see that it is the religious leader of Mongolia and Tibet, recreating the scene of that year. The other room is the scene of the emperor's dying, and the minister of physician is helpless. The emperor must be seriously ill and hopeless.

? When I walked out of the exhibition hall, I came to the mountain. What makes people feel most comfortable is that there is no magnificent flow of people in this scenic spot. The sign clearly says that there are more than 300 steps, and there are no tourists for dozens of meters before and after. It is also rare to be quiet in various scenic spots in China. The steps are not steep, they are made of stone. Conifers and shrubs on both sides are green, Ziziphus jujuba is red, and the air is fresh. I always want to take a deep breath.

? Suddenly I saw some macaques walking slowly from top to bottom, confident as tourists who bought tickets, huh? Where do macaques come from? A stranger must have been forced to move from south to north. Poor thing, my hometown will be hard to come back in my life. From time to time, I remind my son who is taking pictures of the monkey behind him: "Be careful that the mobile phone is robbed by it." The sign on the roadside clearly says, "Don't tease or feed at your own risk." It seems that there have been robbed victims, and it can be seen that these monkeys have occupied the peak in the distance.

Overlooking, you can see the twin peaks that stand upright like two fingers. On the summit, you can vaguely see two small towers standing at your fingertips. This is indeed a miracle. The cable car going up and down the mountain passes over your head, but there are no tourists to ride. On the way, you meet a small pavilion. There are two high-powered binoculars in front of a woman in the pavilion, shouting, "Look at the small tower with binoculars! Even the little Buddha in the tower can be seen for one yuan at a time. " I wanted to look up at this, but I thought that my eyes were dim. Every time I took out a bright red hundred-dollar bill, I seemed to see several pieces shaking in front of my eyes, empty and happy. This look, then treat the twin towers as eight towers, forget it! Let's go to the foot of the mountain and have a closer look!

? Moving on, I came to the foot of the Twin Towers. Looking up, you can only see the breezy finger mountain, but you can't see the small tower on the mountain. The mountains that go straight up and down are stones and rocks. No wonder it has stood for more than 1000 years since the Liao Dynasty. I'm afraid today's cement has already collapsed. The quality is really good. Don't laugh, it's a Millennium project, and quality comes first.

? It is estimated that countless viewers will ask, how can a skilled craftsman repair this small tower at this fingertip? In fact, it is said that it used to be a mountain with several small towers on it. After thousands of years of weathering, there are only two left. The real craftsman is a thousand-year-old skill of this nature, and the divine power is better than the weather! Reminds me of the primary school text "Iron pestle grinds into a needle". As long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is ground into needles, these two "needles" are not shallow. This is just my guess. There is not much investigation and demonstration. Don't take it too seriously!

At the foot of Tashan Mountain, there is a boulder blocked by circles, and red strips of cloth and red cards are tied on the railings around it, and tourists pay. I have never been blessed in my life, so I'd better pray silently for the person I love. I think this is more spiritual.

Many boulders in the mountains have their own stories, such as camel stone, official stone and toad stone. There are huge Chinese characters carved on the cliff. I don't know the age, but the words left behind must be "Grandpa". Even if ordinary people write "visit here", the consequences are unimaginable.

From the height of the mountain, you can overlook the urban area of Chengde, and see the rapid development and beautiful scenery of Chengde from one side.

There is also a 100-meter promenade on the mountain, which is as spectacular as the Summer Palace promenade in Shanghai, but it is also a beautiful scenery on this low mountain, attracting tourists to rest under their feet.

? Walking around the mountain, there are small temples, reclining Buddha caves and other landscapes from time to time under the cliffs on the roadside. The temple calls you to worship Buddha. I don't believe in Buddhism, so I don't have to burn incense and kowtow.

There is also a climbing step. There are several tourists in front of me, and the panting old man moves slowly. Seeing his baldness and white beard, I couldn't help saying, "It's better to climb the mountain with crutches when I'm old." Just before the words fell, a woman in her forties smiled while covering her mouth. "Older? He is not much older than me. " The "old man" blushed and said, "I'm 57 years old and I'm a little worried." As soon as this was said, all the tourists around laughed. The old "old man" is from Chengde and offered to be my tour guide and introduce various landscapes. He pointed to the cliff far across the bank and said that new relief was being carved there. Looking in the direction of his finger, the project is really big.

? After a small waterfall, I came to a cracked boulder. Three Chinese characters are engraved with red paint on the boulder, and a huge bronze sword on the altar is four or five meters long. The garden chassis on the hilt was slapped by children, which reminded me of the sword test stone at the foot of Huqiu Mountain in Suzhou. Sword crack and the rich imagination of the ancients.

Walking down the hill, the gurgling stream beside the stone steps accompanied us. There is a family by the roadside, which is particularly conspicuous in this park scenic spot. Cabbage was planted in front of and behind the house. This should be the strongest "nail house" and a special landscape in the park.

It's almost the exit of the scenic spot, and I see a big iron cage with several monkeys in it, which reminds me of the detention center. What mistakes did these monkeys make? The living are detained, and the other monkeys are at ease, and there is much to be done in the vast world on the top of the mountain. It seems that they can't break the rules, so can monkeys!

Going to Chengde, Shuangta Mountain is worth going, leaving the noisy city, returning to nature and embracing the world!
