Shennongjia makes me happy and sad.

The first time I met Shennongjia was in a friend's WeChat, and the moment I left was just to find a little coolness in summer.

Shennongjia is recommended by National Geographic magazine as "one of the places that people will go all their lives", which is true. The fleeting high altitude and the strange day hundreds of meters along Shennongding have both the extreme feeling of despair and the surprise of being recovered, which is definitely worth your experience.

It's only about 200 kilometers from Yichang Three Gorges Project Hotel to Muyu Town in Shennongjia, passing through Three Gorges Expressway, Yixing Avenue, Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, Baoxing Highway and Shenyi Highway, but it still takes about 4 hours because of too much speed limit. Along with the scenery, the road is not long. We set off at 1 1 in the morning and arrived at Xinyi Hotel in Muyu Town at 4 pm. The temperature is about 24 degrees, which is very pleasant

All the way over the mountains, my husband and I decided to stay and have a good rest, inquire about the situation, and set off for Shennongding early the next morning. The biological clock still wakes up earlier than the alarm clock. All night, I was thinking about the clouds in Shennongding.

Just get up at 5 o'clock and check the weather forecast. It will rain at 7 o'clock. It is said that the weather in the virgin forest is 100 meters different from day to day. The mountain road is far less horrible than the volunteers said last night. "Don't drive by yourself, many drivers cry in the middle!" "Really turn more, the car all the way through the clouds. Mr. Wang said that such a detour makes people who can drive dizzy, but it is far less thrilling than Shogun Mountain.

Arrive at the park gates of Shennongding and Dajiuhu at 6: 00. The gatekeeper hasn't got up yet. "Master, can I buy tickets here?"

"No, tickets are not sold until 7: 30."

As soon as I heard it, I was deceived and temporarily changed my itinerary. I didn't do much homework before going out. You can buy a ticket at any time by asking at dinner. The people who originally consulted did not really experience it in the scenic spot. At this moment, even if I am willing to use twice the deposit and ID card as a guarantee, I still can't shake the doorman's determination to defend the system. Waiting at the door for an hour and a half, watching the sun rise, my heart ached, and the word 1000 was omitted here.

What makes people anxious is the news that drones are forbidden to fly here, otherwise people will let drones go in and show us. After queuing for tickets for the first time, all the scenery along the way was ignored and went straight to the top of the mountain.

The sea of clouds, as always, was reserved and did not wait for us. It rises slowly, higher and higher. When we reached the top of the mountain, there were no clouds in the valley, only my broken heart.

Fortunately, Shennongjia never likes to disappoint any tourists who stay here. She welcomed me and hugged me in another way that I liked. "It is summer at the foot of the mountain, spring at the top of the mountain, autumn at the foot of the mountain, ice at the top of the mountain, and red, orange, yellow and green are not enough. It is the most difficult to distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter." The special climate in the forest area makes the whole scenic spot look beautiful, which makes me feel that there are four seasons in a day, and everything is actually what I expect.

Go back to the hotel to rest at 10: 00 in the morning and go out at 4: 00 in the afternoon (planning the trip according to Changsha people's timetable is really fooled). It was already five o'clock when we arrived at Tianshengqiao, and it was almost evening. The forest area was already a little dark.

Strange bridges, strange waterfalls, Tianshengqiao and Yinhe snake waterfalls are secluded. This is Tiansheng Bridge. Anyway, it is too late to choose the waterfall at the entrance of the scenic spot as the main viewing point. In fact, I didn't find anything special along the way. Tianshengqiao can only imagine. Chekhov, the great Russian novelist, once said, "In this world, everything is insignificant and uninteresting except the lofty spiritual expression of human mind." I'll take it as a fugue.

Xinyi Hotel in Muyu Town is a duplex building. What I like is its duplex structure with two floors and an escalator. It looked comfortable, so I booked it directly for two nights. It never occurred to me that this four-star hotel has no backup power supply after the power failure at night, and it is really not good to go down to the eighth floor with heavy luggage at 5 am.

Time is critical, or enter the park gate one hour in advance, and be the first to enter the park! The farther you go up the mountain, the colder your heart gets. Isn't it a sea of clouds every day? The morning before, because I yearned for the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, I directly ignored the clouds along the way. Today, there is not only a little fog in the valley depression, but also a gray sky. Mr. Wang said listlessly, "Today is a white day!" "

Be patient and drive forward. As we approached the top of Shennong Mountain, we found the cloud mountain fog cover. My husband stopped the car excitedly. "Hurry and shoot!" Shoot! "The sun was wrapped in clouds and suddenly rushed out of the fog. generate came out and instantly intertwined with the clouds. ...

I'm the only one on the top of the mountain. I put on all the clothes I can wear, but I'm still shaking. At this time, I actually feel really thin (illusion) and almost blown away by the wind several times.

The scenery on the mountain can only be used on different days from time to time. It is no exaggeration to say that I dare not blink when I calculate the change of the scene in front of me in seconds. Around 7: 30, two people came up. "What's there to see? Nothing! Go, go, go! "

Looking at their depressed appearance, I can't help but comfort: "Nothing, just wait a minute, and you can see the beautiful scenery you want!" " "

People are often like this, because of lack of patience and missed a lot of beauty in the world!

People who don't know Shennongjia think its scenic spots are too concentrated, but in fact the scenery is on the road. Slate is on the way to Dajiu Lake. When I saw them, my first feeling was that I was in Yunnan Stone Forest. Park your car in a huge parking lot, and when you get off the bus, you will see bamboo forests all over the mountain, as dense as a natural barrier. There are grotesque rocks in the forest with different postures. No matter the front or the whole, the image and spirit are different, but they are all as lifelike. Slate is 26 10 meters above sea level, five kilometers east of the watchtower. Most people who go up the mountain wear thick winter clothes, and there is a facade for renting cotton-padded jackets below.

I often think: what is the meaning of travel? It can be a reward for yourself after hard work, a mental adjustment when you are unhappy, or an empty mind after exhaustion. It can make you ecstatic after extreme disappointment and keep you looking forward to the next beautiful scene.

The trip to Shennongjia made me a little sad: there are always things that disappoint and sink you in life, so don't sigh. It is because of those imperfections that our life becomes real and lovely, and our struggle is more meaningful.
