One-day tour of Diaoyutai in Cao Ping

The weather is fine, and we have an appointment to climb the mountain. Originally, I was going to the frozen mountain, but because the tour guide had something to do temporarily, I thought that the frozen mountain was high and steep, and everyone was not familiar with the path, so I changed my itinerary and went to Caoping Mountain to cross the Diaoyutai.

Cao Ping is 40 kilometers away from Baoji. In Zhangshangyuan Village, Panxi Town, there are temples built in the Tang Dynasty and seven-story white pagodas (which should be modern buildings). We drove past Zhangshangyuan Village and drove to the mountains along the newly built cement road. There is a cobblestone dirt road not far from the road, which is a bit steep, so we abandoned the car and walked. Over a mountain bag, you can see a white tower standing on the top of the mountain from a distance, and the sun shines on the tower, which is more solemn and mysterious.

This is the second time I have been on the lawn hill in two months. The last time was the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, which was the day before the ancient meeting of Cao Pingshan. There are many good men and women in the temple on the mountain. They are all busy, making preparations for the upcoming ancient meeting. It was still late autumn, and I climbed to the top of the seven-story white tower. Looking around, the mountains and plains are full of colorful autumn colors, layered and winding. This is really a beautiful scenery. At that time, I went up after lunch, and when time was tight, I hurried down the mountain.

? This time, we went to Caoping Mountain and crossed Diaoyutai, so we had a rest in front of the temple, and everyone took out their own food to share. There is an old man in the temple who is very enthusiastic and provides us with boiled water. I wanted to communicate with the old man, but he was hard of hearing and it sounded so uncomfortable. Feng gave the old man money. We thanked him, went to the temple and walked along a path to Diaoyutai.

Many temples in China are already a family of Taoists and Buddhists, which contain both Buddhist statues and Taoist immortals. Here, too, the hall of heroes and Taoist immortals are scattered everywhere, and incense burners are lit, attracting believers from all walks of life.

The path is covered with fallen leaves, the feet rustle when stepping on it, the dead branches are crooked on both sides, and clothes are hung from time to time. Not far along the path, we came to the ridge, which was flat and the sun shone warmly on us. Looking into the distance, the mountains meet the blue sky and white clouds, and everyone is in a good mood, shouting and singing at the distance.

After a long walk, I was suddenly attracted by the red fruits all over the mountain. On the sunny hillside, pieces of red fruits sparkle in the sun. Sambo and I stopped to take a closer look: the red fruit is covered with branches, and the outer layer of the red fruit is an open shell, and the color is yellow. There are red fruits in it, some leaves are still there, and the leaves are very big. I have seen this kind of plant in the mountains at ordinary times, but there are only one or two. It's the first time to see such a large area. We stopped for a long time and took a lot of photos before we reluctantly left. Only after going down the mountain did Baidu know that it was called Celastrus orbiculatus, and its roots, leaves and fruits could be used as medicine to treat rheumatism and insomnia.

Let's move on. Among the pines and cypresses, the road was blocked by two towers of different heights. The tower is solid, with blue bricks as edges, and there is no introduction. There is a chalk word' Lingxiao Tower' on it, which may have been written by tourists, so it is unknown. Further on, there are two temples, namely the Tibetan king and the monk burning lanterns. Then you can go to Xichan Temple. There is no one in the temple, the courtyard is clean, and red persimmons are hung under the eaves.

Standing in Xichan Temple, you can see Diaoyutai Reservoir. The reservoir is small, surrounded by pine and cypress, and the water is quiet and deep. We walked down the steep steps and reached the edge of the reservoir area. Walking on the barrage, look carefully, the sun shines on the water, sparkling and beautiful. I wanted to stay a little longer, see the beautiful scenery and take more photos. It's a pity that the corridor on the dam is windy, and the originally hot body suddenly cools down. We dare not stay, walk back and forth on the dam and continue to walk towards the main scenic spot of Diaoyutai.

Diaoyutai is a fishing place in Jiang Ziya. Because of its straight hook fishing, it didn't catch any fish, but it landed in Zhou Wenwang. At the age of 70, it helped Zhou defeat and made great achievements. In the scenic spot, there are four ancient pine trees 1300 years old in front of Jiang Ziya Temple. The trees are thick and dense, and the canopy covers the sun. Although it is winter, it is still lush. According to the staff, the four pillars supporting the ancient temple, Lotus Tower, are the original objects of the Tang Dynasty. There is a huge stone in the scenic river, which looks like a big bowl, and there are four characters on it: "Huai Huang Yi Pu". It is said that the stone left by the goddess mending the sky. It's the dry season, with few rivers and a panoramic view of boulders. I remember that for more than ten years, the river flooded halfway up the boulder, and the floating water could reach its top.

Maybe it's because in winter, or on weekdays, tickets suddenly rose from 10 yuan to 50 yuan, so locals seldom come and can only coax people from other places. Today's winter is warm and sunny, neither too cold nor too hot, but there are only tourists in twos and threes. At four o'clock in the afternoon, we walked out of the scenic spot and took a private car to Caoping Mountain to get the car. On the way back, Sambo said that today's crossing was very good, with charming scenery and moderate intensity, and it was a very happy day.
