Riding Notes: Three-day trip to Pengzhou to draw a circle, leisurely visit two temples and one lake, and climb to the observation deck to look at the snow-capped mountains

After climbing mountains and pushing carts around mountains on the first afternoon, both of us were exhausted physically and mentally!

We originally planned to get up early the next day to watch the sunrise, but it turned out that we were too idealistic!

After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, the sun has already climbed up the hills, and it’s already 8 o’clock to get ready and set off!

Fortunately, the location of the B&B I found was perfect. There was a breakfast shop just outside the door, and to the right was Chongde Road leading to the Yonghua Temple Observation Deck.

Unfortunately, the slope is still a bit steep, almost the same as the mountain road the previous afternoon!

With just a little calculation, it’s destined to be another delicious stroll around mountains!

Navigating through the map, I found a small green dot: pillow on the pillow to embrace the moon, pillow on the sunset to embrace the moon, the name sounds very good and has an artistic conception! If you are passing by, it is very close, so you might as well check it out.

After arriving at the passing point, we found that it was indeed a good camping and picnic spot, very clean and spacious, with ready-made pavilions, stone tables and benches.

It is also a good viewing platform. Looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the mountain town!

Of course, we need to take photos to record this situation! It’s not like I can come often.

Turning back and going down the mountain, I found that the woods on both sides were lush and green, which was very pleasant!

Cycling here, even climbing is a kind of enjoyment, close to nature and tranquility, away from the sun and hustle and bustle. Of course, going downhill is even more pleasant. Hahaha, it is a quiet mountain road with few people coming and going. It’s suitable for taking pictures, and it’s good to take pictures casually! This is the story of cyclists and mountains.

Passing by Huata Village, I felt like I had entered a paradise, but this peach was a kiwi!

Along the way, you can see kiwi orchards and local residents busy pollinating peach blossoms!

There is also a kiwi fruit base here. When the kiwi fruit matures, picking here is a good choice!

When riding in the mountains, you can see small steep slopes everywhere!

The existence of the small steep slope is to slow down the tired us and discover the beautiful scenery around us!

If you can’t ride, just push, if you can’t push, just take pictures, it’s reasonable and justifiable!

The most important thing about leisure cycling is of course sightseeing!

Take a short break, record the wonderful things, take a good rest, and continue moving forward.

I saw the Yonghua Village road sign in the distance, and I was getting closer to the Yonghua Temple Observation Deck!

Of course, hillsides still appear at any time as always, making them daunting!

Seize the opportunity and drink water to calm down!

Look at the mountains in the distance and take in the interlacing light and shadow of the sun.

Climbing up another hillside, I found a pavilion and wanted to explore the view. The view is not as wide as expected, but once I get up, I find that there are really many plum trees around! Where the winding path leads to secluded areas, there are all plum trees! The owner of this orchard is so happy!

There is another pleasant downhill slope under the pavilion, but I did not slide directly to the bottom. I was attracted by the flowers raised by people in the mountains! What do you want in this life with such a quiet and beautiful living environment?

At the end of the pleasant and short descent, I saw the Yonghua Temple sign, only one slope away from Yonghua Temple!

The difficult strolling journey is finally coming to an end! Beautiful mood!

After a while, I saw Yonghua Temple in the mountains. I calculated with my fingers that the viewing platform should be on the small slope behind and to the right of the bifurcated road.

With a quick wit, a quarter of an hour away, I got my wish and saw the 360-degree observation deck that I had longed for!

The coordinates of the Sun View Pavilion must be marked by taking a photo.

Due to time constraints, I regretted missing the sunrise. It feels like you can only see it by driving, riding a motorcycle or camping. It is almost impossible to ride a bicycle, unless you get up early in the middle of the night and travel through the mountains and forests, or you have the opportunity!

It’s a pity to miss the sunrise, but the Sun View Pavilion has a wide view. When taking photos to record Yonghua Temple, I was surprised to encounter the sea of ??clouds and snow-capped mountains!

Another mountaintop is the Somersault Cloud Paraglider Base, where you can fly down and paraglider from time to time!

The friends on the paraglider must be very happy at this moment! Traveling between heaven and earth in Cangshan Mountain, sea of ??clouds and snow-capped mountains are by your side!

The snow-capped mountain in the distance should be Jiufeng Mountain. I have never had the opportunity to climb it, but looking at it from here, it has a unique charm.

Although the beautiful mountains and rivers are right in front of us, we are just travelers in a hurry and cannot stop to linger!

So you can only use your mobile phone camera to record beautiful moments!

So you must be there, leaving your footprints and shadows. As time goes by, looking through these photos, wonderful memories come to mind!

Stay long enough and your stomach will growl! Follow the direction of Yonghua Temple and prepare to go down the mountain for dinner.

Yufeng Ancient Well, sweet spring holy water, if there were no children playing in the water when passing by, I might have slipped to the bottom and missed it completely!

Go down the mountain to the nearest ancient town of Haiwozi and have a meal nearby! After resting after dinner, my teammates expressed their intention to return early after much hesitation. Riding for two consecutive days at most was the physical limit. In addition, the tossing of slope after slope yesterday afternoon and this morning, and even the tossing of steep slopes on the third day, Worried that it will be difficult to continue!

Act according to your ability, safety first, very understanding and supportive, and respect your choice.

But since you have already come, it would be a pity to return midway. In order not to leave any regrets,

According to the established route, I will continue to ride and explore alone.

The first stop in the afternoon: Sansheng Temple. The road conditions were much better than expected. Compared with the morning push cart, it was much faster!

The smart navigation cleverly found a shortcut, bypassed a steel factory that was almost dead, and then went into the woods. I thought it was the beginning of pushing the cart again, and I was trembling! In the end, I was overly worried, and only the small woods on the slope were good.

Soon we arrived near the Sansheng Temple. The small river ditch outside the temple attracted our attention first!

Green trees line the sky on both sides, and there is a lot of laughter and fun in the water! So comfortable!

A certain Yin brush has visited the legendary Sansheng Temple, but it is only open to those who are destined to be there. How can it be considered destined? You'll know when you come here, hahaha~

According to the temple sign, it seems that entering here around the corner is the main entrance, and a golden plaque is enough to verify it.

Visitors who have no chance to visit are lingering here, viewing the scene inside the temple from a distance through the windows on the wall.

You have to be patient and look for good camera seats slowly, and don’t miss a corner, otherwise you will easily miss the beauty!

In addition to the surroundings of the temple, itself and the mysterious interior of the temple, the towering trees and free-flying birds outside the main entrance are also scenery worth waiting for and recording.

Considering the return time, we lingered at Sansheng Temple for a short time before setting off to the next stop: Lotus Lake.

Walking along the path beside the creek in front of you, you come across a wheat field. Coupled with the good weather, it is beautiful!

The Lianhua Lake Scenic Area is one of the check-in points that has been planned on the route. It is always shelved for various reasons. Taking advantage of the opportunity to draw circles while riding, along the Lianhua Lake Highway, I happened to find a scenic spot: Lianhua Lake Golden Lotus Villa.

This villa seems to be the Lianhua Lake Pier. There are many cruise ships for tourists to take and enjoy the lake scenery.

The water and the sky meet, watch the Maolin Mirror Lake, and watch the clouds roll and relax!

The sun sets in the west, and the sun shines on the golden lotus.

The Lianhua Lake Highway ends and you will soon reach the familiar Puxin Road!

I never expected that the afternoon journey would be so smooth!

When I saw the Pengzhou boundary sign, I knew that I was almost at my accommodation and had completed today’s cycling journey.

Magnetic Peak is so close to Dujiangyan! I just drew a circle and accidentally entered Dujiangyan!

It was neither too early nor too late to arrive at Cifeng’s accommodation, but I was still a little tired. After dinner, I washed up and lay down in bed and took an inexplicable nap.

On the second day of the three-day trip to Pengzhou on May 1st, we visited two temples and one lake, which was a perfect leisure circle.

Today’s journey was just the opposite of yesterday’s. In the morning, the pushcart was difficult to move around the mountain, but in the afternoon, it was smooth and smooth all the way! Far lighter than expected, an authentic leisure ride.

The next issue will share: the beautiful scenery on the way from Pengzhou to Puhong Road.

A light ride, a wonderful journey! Follow us and stay tuned!
