Tour of Huangshan Mountain

( 1)

It will rain lightly tonight and climb Huangshan tomorrow.

The hotel where you stay provides a tour guide of Huangshan Mountain, and a hand-painted tour map of Huangshan Scenic Area is hung on the right side of the door, so the scenic spots, routes and distances can be seen at a glance. In addition to this hand-drawn drawing, there is a bird's eye view next to the stairs, with many peaks and winding roads on it. At first glance, it seems that someone is really walking in the mountains.

There are three colors of lines on the hand-drawn map, one is blue (the routes can only be seen by scenic spots), the other is red (mostly mountain roads) and the other is green (ropeway). According to the blue line, the whole scenic spot can be divided into two big rings, one is the Xihai Grand Canyon ring in the upper left corner and the other is the Houshan ring on the right.

The night before going up the mountain, the boss pointed at the hand-painted painting with an extension pole and introduced it carefully. From my residence, I took a bus to Dongling Station, to Yungu Temple in Houshan, bought tickets and ropeway tickets, and took a cable car to Baie New Station. Then visit Shi Xinfeng, Beihai Scenic Area, Lion Peak (monkey watching the sea), Paiyunlou, Xihai Grand Canyon, Guangmingding, Lotus Peak, Yingkesong and Tiandu Peak along the Blue Line, take a cable car from Yuping Station to the south gate and take a bus back to the hotel.

Because it's only a day's journey and the mountain road is full of steps, I'm afraid I can't keep up. We made appropriate changes according to the boss's strategy.

Take the scenic bus from Dongling to Yungu Temple, and take the cable car to Baie New Station. After that, visit Shi Xinfeng, Beihai, Lion Peak, Xihai Grand Canyon, Guangmingding and Yingkesong, take the cable car down the south gate, and then take the scenic bus back to the hotel.

The plan is beautiful, the process is happy and painful.

On the day of climbing the mountain, the sky showed signs of clearing up. According to the local tour guide, we are lucky to catch up with Huangshan Scenic Area on sunny days 54 days a year.

Get up at 5: 20 in the morning, buy breakfast after washing and go back to the hotel. A group of people eat, walk to Dongling, and go up the mountain by car. It's already half past six. Turn left and right all the way. I don't know how many turns I made. Near the window are large bamboo forests and pine forests, and in the distance are mountains overlapping, from deep to shallow, not just mountainous. The left side of the car is a mountain, and the right side of the car is a cliff. Very exciting.

Ten percent discount, finally arrived at the gate of the scenic spot, bought tickets, queued for about ten minutes, and got on the cable car. Eight people can sit in the cable car with green skin. As the cable car goes up, the mountains on both sides and the trees at the foot gradually come into view. The mountains are getting shorter and shorter and the trees are getting sharper and sharper. During this period, I suddenly felt my voice getting thinner and thinner, and my ears were buzzing, which was quite novel.

Ten minutes on the cable car, I got off and met two groups of tour groups, wearing red and Huangshan hats, and the tour guide hung a stereo around his waist. The sound of the machine is particularly noisy.

When people go up, half of the mountain road is exposed outside the mountain, and the guardrail is made of mortar-wrapped steel bars, which is extremely strong. Looking out, there are mountains and forests. I just feel that the mountains in the distance are dark and short, and here they are extremely high. The mountains are covered with pine trees, occasionally revealing one or two yellow mountains, and a pine tree stands alone at the top of the mountain. Strange pines and rocks need to be seen separately, but overall, there is not so much feeling.

After the stream of people, it is much cleaner.

I didn't go far, so I regretted not buying a trekking pole at the foot of the mountain. This feeling grows stronger as it goes on. Huangshan Mountain should have 8,000 steps, if not 10,000. Going up and down is very tiring.

Step by step, I finally saw the first peak-Shixinfeng. Because of the development of scenic spots, I can only watch from a distance, hard rocks, deep ravines, small and powerful.

Lion Peak, with its head west and tail east, has Shuguang Pavilion, Lion Roar Danxia Peak and Waist Ring Balcony at its tail. Overlooking the Shuguang Pavilion, there are numerous peaks and mountains, and countless mountain pines are in the distance. On the balcony, the mountain wind is cool and the rocks are cool. Sitting on a protruding rock, the oncoming mountain wind blew away all my fatigue and cooled my heart. On the lion's head, opposite is the monkey watching the sea. Monkeys who have only stayed for a long time are becoming more and more human. Sitting on the hill and looking at the sea of clouds in the distance, I even think it is very interesting that it is scratching its ass with one hand.

But I feel a little lonely. What did a monkey see after squatting for so many years?

Coming down from Lion Peak and heading for the West Sea, you will pass a winding road. There are many signs on one side of the road, and there are many photos on the signs. These works are from the forties and fifties of last century, from the seventies and eighties, and from the beginning of this century. What shocked me was that the authors of these works were mostly cleaners and service personnel in Huangshan. They have not received systematic photography teaching, but what they took touched them, and these images that touched them are the amazing scenes of Huangshan Mountain.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining through the pine forest, and the ground was dazzling.

It is sunny today, and there are many more tourists than rainy days. There is a family, with young and old, three or five friends, backpacking alone. Compared with young people and middle-aged people, children and old people seem to have more perseverance. Some mothers ask their children to slow down, while others ask their fathers to hurry up.

On the way to climb the mountain, I met many middle-aged men sitting on bamboo chairs. Two porters carried them back and forth. On the bamboo chair sat a 200-pound man with a hat covering his face and a bag in his hand. His head tilted, I wonder if he was asleep.

Bypass Xihai Hotel, arrive at Paiyun Pavilion and overlook Xihai Grand Canyon. The mountains in the distance are undulating and misty, and the overlapping mountains are hidden from time to time. This is really great. Looking at the nearby mountain peaks, smart stones are scattered all over the place, rubbing the wheat of the tour guide, enjoying the smart stones such as' Goddess Embroidery',' Immortal Sun Boots' and' Song Wu Beats Tiger'. There is also a stone that looks like the car cover of an ancient emperor. I don't know what its name is.

Although there are many clever stones, you can't see their cleverness if you don't have enough imagination. If I don't know in advance, I'm afraid I can't even see the stone.

Stop for a minute and enter the West Sea Grand Canyon. It was past ten when I went in, and the sun had not dispersed the sea of clouds. I have a profound appreciation of the fantasy of the sea of clouds. The sea of clouds is constantly changing, intermittent, hiding from Tibet, and in a blink of an eye, the original mountain does not exist.

The canyon is divided into one ring and two rings, both of which are good places to see the wonders of the sea of clouds. The steps here are not only narrow, but also high, reaching the legs of adults at the highest. There are ropes on the side of the mountain and fences on the far side. You should be extra careful when you walk here. Don't look at the scenery, walk without looking at the scenery.

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the Xihai Grand Canyon. My legs are sore and my feet hurt, and my clothes are wet, dry and wet. This shows how difficult it is to walk in the West Sea Grand Canyon.

Take a rest, continue to set out and walk to the top of the light.

Climbing stairs, stop-and-go, tourists in twos and threes drag slightly tired steps up or down to the top of the lamp, meet and talk, ask about the route and distance, and cheer each other up.

Walking to the slungshot, I was exhausted.

The flying stone is about ten feet high and ten feet wide, and stands on a flat slope to cover the west oblique sun. Walking to the stone in three steps and two steps, looking northeast, you can see several buildings with gray roofs and gray walls, which is Xihai Mountain Villa. You can see a pavilion with a white roof and four eaves. This is Xingzhi Pavilion. You can also see a pool of dark green jade water, which is a pool of water flowing from Yuquan.

Looking west, there are green mountains, V-shaped canyons and nearly vertical cliffs.

Continue south until you come to a fork in the road. Up is the peak, and to the left is the bright top.

What is the peak of a group? The summit of several peaks. Looking up, I didn't stop 150 steps, lifted my legs, my forehead was dripping with sweat, and my legs were numb, and finally I reached the peak of the group. This 100 multi-step did not climb in vain, and the scenery of the peaks is good. There are peaks in the west, all shorter than them. Standing on this flat top is like being on the top of Huangshan Mountain!

Looking further east, not at the top of Huangshan Mountain, there are higher Guangming Peak, Tiandu Peak and Lotus Peak. The white ball at the top of the lamp has two eyes, the signal tower of Tiandu Peak points directly at the sky, and the rocks of Lotus Peak are exposed like petals.

Sitting on the peaks for a long time, the peaks, mountain winds, sunshine, Yellowstone, pines, white clouds and blue sky are vast.

Without much stopping, I followed the mountain road to Guangmingding, climbed the alchemy peak, overlooking the highest altitude of Huangshan, and had a panoramic view of pine trees and rocks. The bare mountains are dotted with greenery, and the distant sky is divided into several layers and gradually dispersed. The wind is not strong and the scenery is not magnificent.

I slept in an alchemist's peak for half an hour, feeling refreshed, as if I had absorbed the medicine fragrance left by an alchemist here.

I got up, crossed Haixinge, crossed Aoyu Cave, set foot on the first ladder, climbed hundreds of ladders and circled the Lotus Peak. Finally, I found a single pine tree and looked at the introduction card-Fujian pine. This pine tree is tall and straight, and it is a young pine tree according to the characteristics of Huangshan pine' getting shorter with age'. It may be more chic for young people to send you away, wave halfway and leave you.

Further down, Yuping Peak gets off, goes down the stairs and turns a corner to see the welcome pine. The extended long arm was held back by three iron bars to prevent it from being interrupted by wind and rain. This pine tree is short, its crown is as big as a roof, and its long arms will not close regardless of wind and rain.

Wave goodbye to the welcoming pine and descend from Yuping cableway. After the ropeway, Huangshan gradually became smaller and higher.

From the appearance alone, I would never have thought that there were rare pine trees such as Wolong pine, Lian, Harp pine, Unity pine, Black Tiger pine, Welcome pine and Fujian pine in its belly. I wouldn't have thought that there were some clever stones on this majestic mountain, such as monkey watching the sea, goddess embroidering, wonderful pen giving birth to flowers, stalagmites, Taibai drunk, Song Wu killing tigers and so on. You won't see the changeable, rolling and elegant sea of clouds.

This Huangshan Mountain, which "returns without looking at Yue", hides subtlety, ingenuity and impermanence under its magnificent appearance.
