Qingchengshan Yunman Qingsi Bay (1)

"Worship Dujiangyan and ask Qingcheng Mountain."

This sentence of Mr. Yu not only expresses his admiration for Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain and their characteristics, but also shows that they have been adjacent for more than 2,000 years and it is necessary to compare them.

Outside the main entrance of Dujiangyan, you can find a bus to Qingcheng Mountain not far away. Dujiangyan is more than half an hour's drive from Qingcheng Mountain, and the traffic is very convenient without crossing the urban area.

Actually, I didn't know much about Qingcheng Mountain before. I know that I saw the last sentence when I was looking up the information of Dujiangyan. Apart from these, what impressed me the most was the phrase "The White Snake at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain" in the episode "The Legend of the New White Snake".

Think about it, there is some disrespect for the holy land of Taoism. Taoism, after all, is a local religion in China, which has a history of over 1800 years since its founder Zhang Daoling was founded. In the history of China, Taoism has saved people in from the mire many times, and also participated in the process of rewriting history many times. Many handed down works are also indispensable treasures of China.

In its heyday, Taoism was unknown, and it was worthy of admiration and worship.

Qingcheng Mountain is one of the four famous Taoist mountains and the fifth cave of Taoism. As early as the Qin dynasty, it was canonized as one of the 18 sacred mountains and rivers enshrined by the state, and it was known as the "fairy city".

Later, there was a saying that Qingcheng Mountain was quiet in the world. The trees in the mountains are lush and green all the year round. It is not only quiet, but also quiet. When you walk in it, you will feel quiet and carefree.

When we arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, it was already afternoon, and the weather was a little gloomy. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the smoke in the mountain is looming and floating around, which is really amazing.

Take a bus to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and then take a tour bus from the scenic spot to the front of the mountain.

Qingcheng Mountain is backed by Minjiang River and faces Chengdu Plain in front, which is divided into two parts: the front mountain and the back mountain. The total area of the front mountain is about 15 square kilometers, and the total area of the back mountain is about 100 square kilometers. Although the area of Qian Shan is slightly smaller, it is the main part of Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area. The back mountain has a vast area, but there are many cliffs and deep forests, which is the best choice for mountain climbers.

I only visited the front mountain that day, but the back mountain was not involved, so I had to wait another day.

The gate of Qingcheng Mountain is very imposing, with many vicissitudes and heavy, as if it were a touch of Zen. The whole mountain gate is full of Taoist architectural characteristics, bamboo and wood are interdependent, and the roof is composed of double eaves. Look at the roof carefully, and there are all kinds of mythical figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects. It's wonderful to stand in front of you.

Look back after entering the mountain gate. On this side of the mountain gate, five characters are engraved: "Qingcheng Mountain is quiet in the world". In the future, I didn't feel much when I heard these words before, but I found that the word "you" reflected the artistic conception of the whole Qingcheng Mountain. Lush eyes, quiet and ethereal

Say goodbye to the mountain gate and walk along the road. The Taoist temple is ahead. The area in front of Qingcheng Mountain is a little small, and you can see a Taoist temple almost every 100 meters. These Taoist temples surrounded by ancient trees are simple and mysterious. Walking on the road, brushing the giant bamboo and ancient trees, there will be gurgling sound of running water in your ears, which will make your surroundings feel more quiet.

Keep walking, cross the tired bridge, pass by the souvenir shop, keep walking, and soon come to Yuecheng Lake. Yuecheng Lake is located between Zhang Renfeng and Qinglong Mountain in Qingcheng Mountain, and there is Yuecheng Mountain under Zhang Renfeng, hence the name. The water surface of Yuecheng Lake is about 24,000 square meters. According to legend, Ghost Valley, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, once lived in seclusion here. It is conceivable that there should be more Zen spirituality here.

The whole mountain lake is surrounded by green hills, and there is no wave on the lake, which sets off the green hills. Castle Peak and their shadows are connected by a lake, which is also true and illusory. In this place, the green hills fall on the ground, the lake lies beside it, and occasionally there are a few wild birds singing, which seems to make people forget to be in the secular world.

There is a ferry on Moon Lake that can take you to the other side, and a boat walks slowly on it. The lake is quiet and calm, like a painting.

Of course, if you don't want to take a boat, you can walk along the plank road by the lake to the other side, and it is also beautiful to walk between lakes and mountains.
