Introduction to Walking on Wutai Mountain (with Precautions)

Another way to go to Wutai Mountain is hiking. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you how to go hiking in Wutai Mountain. Whether it is the route, accommodation or precautions, everyone can know in advance.

1, traffic guide 1. Join the outdoor team

Starting from Beijing, there will be many teams, usually a two-day weekend group.

They have mature experience in leading teams outdoors. As long as you pay the money, prepare some outdoor products according to their suggestions and assemble them on time, someone will drive you and follow them.

Generally, I set off on Friday night, take the overnight train to the starting point of the hiking route-Hongmenyan, get off and start climbing the mountain, which is usually a conventional five-stop reverse crossing. The team will be responsible for the whole room and board, and you need to bring your own food and drink on the way. However, most of these teams will travel about three times in summer, and only a few outdoor teams with some specialties will travel in winter.

Go by train yourself.

The nearest railway station to Wutai Mountain is Wutai Mountain Station (the town is called sha he, and the locals are used to it). From Shahe, you can take a minibus or take a taxi to the Hongmen banquet and start hiking. The price of minibus is 25 yuan per person. If you take a taxi, you will usually go to 40 yuan from 30 yuan alone.

Even in the early hours of the morning, there is generally no need to worry about getting off the train without a car. There are few trains at Wutaishan Station. The station is not open 24 hours, and the waiting room will only be open when the train is near. Minibuses and taxi drivers also wait for guests according to the train schedule. This road starts from Beijing, and it only takes two days to go back and forth, and it is not limited by seasons.

The above two ways can easily reach the starting point of hiking in the Five Dynasties: Hong Men Rock, while the following two ways may not directly reach Hong Men Rock, and some of them are not satisfactory.

drive

Wutai Mountain has three routes into the mountain. Both the northern line and the western line are Panshan Highway. When it snows in winter, the road is slippery and it is difficult to walk. When it snows heavily, the road will be closed. Jingangku Township on the southern line is the closest mountain to the valley and generally does not close roads. It is also the closest to the entrance of the expressway. However, it should be noted that the starting point of hiking is Hong Men Rock, which is located at the entrance of the northern line.

4. Bus

Taiyuan, Xinzhou and Beijing all have scenic through trains, and the specific trains in off-season are different, which is not well understood in this article.

2. If the five elements are arranged in full wear, there are two types: reverse wear and forward wear:

1. Reverse osmosis

Reverse crossing is the most conventional route, which is the most commonly used route for most hiking teams: Hongmenyan-Beitai-Bathroom-Zhongtai-Xitai-Jixiang Temple-Lion's Nest (28km away, accommodation in the temple)-Jinge Temple (35km away, accommodation in Dananzhuang Farmhouse)-(ancient) Nantai-Guan Dan Village/Fomudong, with the whole journey as one.

You can live in the lion's nest or in the farmhouse in Dananzhuang. Living in a lion's den requires a little hurry the next day. Usually you can walk the whole course at noon the next day. To return, you need to charter a bus to Taihuai Town, and then go back to sha he by bus.

Wear smoothly

The crossing route is relatively long, including Hong Men Rock-Dongtai-Nantai-Huyingou-Fomudong-Nantai-Jingu Temple (just halfway, Dananzhuang can live)-Lion's Nest (can live)-Liang Qing Temple-Xitai-Zhongtai-Bathroom-Beitai-Hong Men Rock. The whole journey is about 70 kilometers. Shunchuan, usually lives in Da 'nan Village near Jingu Temple.

3. Overview of production line

Because the terrain around Wutai Mountain is relatively flat, there are no steep peaks, and the tops of all platforms can go directly down to Taihuai Town, so there are many unconventional routes besides the above two routes. For example, the ancient platform and the new platform run through ten stops, and for example, the routes we choose in Wutai Mountain in winter are some one-day hiking routes: Hongmenyan-Dongtai-Hongmenyan-Beitai-Bathroom-Zhongtai-cutting to the statue temple in Taihuai Town, with a total length of 25 kilometers.

For details, please refer to outdoor software such as hexapod or two-step road to query the route. On the whole, the route of Wutai Mountain is not difficult, and the climbing degree of the route is not great. Even the cars are connected to the top of each platform, and most of the hiking routes running through five stations are along these roads, taking shortcuts and taking some shortcuts.

Generally speaking, for people who have exercise habits or often climb mountains, they can basically walk down 50 kilometers in two days. However, there are still some difficulties for outdoor Xiaobai who doesn't exercise every day. Large-scale commercial trekking teams often have small whites, and less than a quarter of them can follow the whole journey, so they still have to do what they can.

If you give up halfway, there are naturally many inconveniences. You need to contact the local farmhouse or the driver to take a taxi down the mountain, or you can take the scenic shuttle bus back to the mountain at Jixiang Temple. Prices range from 30 to 50 to 180.

Wutai Mountain in winter, if it snows, the tracks will be covered. If you take the path, you should be careful. Especially on the top of each platform on the way down the mountain (North Platform, Middle Platform, Bathroom, etc. ), these unconventional hiking routes have shallower footprints and greater slopes.

Of course, if you are traveling outdoors, you'd better travel together. There must be someone in the team who knows the way. Now it is very convenient for the mobile APP to query the hiking route. Hikers can download it themselves and prepare the route in advance before departure.

3. The budget for traveling to Taiwan is actually a fare evasion route, but the scenic spot seems to acquiesce to tourists from Taiwan Province and is completely open to people who walk on this road.

As far as Beijing is concerned, outdoor groups are usually transported by bus, which is responsible for one meal and one night, between 300 and 400. In addition, it takes about 50 yuan to pay part of the taxi fare. Plus your own travel expenses and so on, around 500 yuan.

If you go by yourself, the Beijing sleeper will go to Wutaishan Station around 200 yuan, and Wutaishan Station will go to scenic spot 50-60 yuan. In addition, accommodation and meals are abundant and frugal, and the price in winter is cheaper than that in summer. Generally speaking, compared with outdoor group assembling, the saving is limited, and 500 yuan is needed.

4. In Taihuai Town, there is no other supply except vegetarian food and hot water in the temple on the hiking route of Dachaotai. Taihuai Town at the foot of the mountain is a typical tourist town. It is convenient to eat and live in summer and winter. More than half of the business is concentrated between Shuxiang Temple and Dailuoding, and some of it is located near Nanshan Temple. You can book online in advance.

However, there is little online information about farmhouses in the village, and the situation in winter is unknown. If the accommodation in the temple is poor and hygienic, it is recommended to bring your own sleeping bag; The accommodation in the farmhouse is a little better, but it is certainly not as good as the standard hotel in Shanghuai Town.

Supermarkets and restaurants in Taihuai Town are very convenient, mostly noodle restaurants, and the specialties of Taiwanese mushrooms are generally more expensive. In addition, there are some restaurants with good locations in Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. It is simply to use some rough techniques to process limited ingredients in advance, and then use some leftovers to deceive tourists. Caution is still necessary.

Finally, eating vegetarian food and staying in a hotel must respect the rules of the temple, don't make noise, don't eat meat, including instant noodles. Prepare some small change in advance and some incense money.

5, precautions diet preparation

1. Water:

Sweat a lot in summer, the whole journey is about 2L. However, every temple at the top of the platform has hot water supply. The hot water supply may be cut off due to the crowded weather in summer. It is recommended to bring an insulated kettle and add one liter of mineral water for later use.

In Wutai Mountain in winter, the ordinary non-insulated kettle exposed to the plug-in system can't be drunk because of freezing. A kettle with poor heat preservation function may soon become cold water. At the same time, there are monks living at the top of each platform, which can provide hot water, and drinking water in winter is inherently less. So it's enough to bring an insulated kettle with a larger capacity.

Eating:

In summer, all temples in Taiding provide fast food and hot water, but if you want to catch up with the meal (6 o'clock, 1 1 point, 17 o'clock), you should get ahead of most people. All vegetarianism is very simple, and it varies from person to person. It is recommended to bring some dry food.

In winter, only Dongtai provides fast food and hot water, while other temples are said to provide only hot water. Because the water in the food will freeze in winter, so try to avoid too much water in the road meal. Otherwise, the taste will become hard and unpalatable.

When eating vegetarian dishes, we should also pay attention to respecting the rules of the temple. When eating vegetarian dishes, don't say anything, and donate some incense money after meals.

climate

Because the equipment is closely related to the climate, we put it together.

Although the latitude of Wutai Mountain is lower than that of Beijing, it is close to the northeast because of its high terrain and cold climate. The difference between Taiding and Taihuai is about 1000 meters, and the rhythm of seasonal change is about one month.

Wutai Mountain is a typical mountain microclimate, which is changeable, especially in summer. It's still sunny at noon, and it's going to rain at night. In most cases, the weather forecast can only be used as a reference, unless there is a large-scale cold and warm air flow across the border, it will have universal reference significance.

The elevation of Taihuai Town is 1800, and the elevation of the top of the platform is between 2800 and 3000. The meteorological temperature difference is about six or seven degrees. Coupled with the windy mountain top and the meticulous wind-cold effect, the actual temperature difference can reach more than ten degrees.

Summer is mainly windproof and rainproof, winter is mainly windproof and cold-proof, and sun protection is needed in sunny days all year round. Therefore, the preparation principle of equipment is to carry it with you, which is especially suitable for cold winter.

Summer equipment

1, non-slip hiking shoes and sports socks with medium and high tubes. Ordinary sports shoes and ordinary low-cut cotton socks are not impossible, but they will be inconvenient to move, easy to slip and easy to tiptoe.

In summer, Chaotai doesn't have high requirements for clothes. Ordinary sweatpants, a long sleeve, a short sleeve and a thick coat are enough. The weather has changed, it's getting dark, and it's still a little cold. In addition, just in case, be sure to prepare a raincoat, because the wind is strong, don't bring a disposable one.

3, accessories: covered fisherman's hat, can protect against the sun; Bring a pair of knee pads to support your knees to prevent cold; If you use a trekking stick, you can bring a pair of half-fingered gloves.

In addition, because there will be some unpaved dirt roads on the way from Fifth Avenue to Chaotai, there are many tourists taking scenic vehicles, which are often dusty. Bring one or two magic headscarves or masks to protect you from the sun and dust.

Outdoor equipment is best equipped with trekking poles, which is more practical; Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlights in case you need to walk at night.

Winter equipment

In winter, the lowest temperature in Taihuai Town is mostly below minus 10 degrees, and the temperature at the top of the platform is as low as minus 20 degrees. If the wind-cold effect is superimposed, the somatosensory temperature is close to MINUS 30 degrees. If I catch a wave of cold air and strong wind, the lowest temperature is almost MINUS 40 degrees.

Therefore, Wutai Mountain in winter needs special preparation, clothes should be tight outside and loose inside, and multi-layer insulation should be carried out.

1, high hiking shoes, high hiking socks. It is recommended not to wear low-cut shoes. Low-cut shoes are easy to get into the air and air conditioning, because you often walk around, so you don't need to add velvet to your shoes. If there is no professional winter mountaineering socks, at least two pairs of thick autumn sports socks should be worn.

2, the lower body should be standard with three layers: sweat-wicking underwear, thick sweater, thick shell pants, plus warm knee pads. Even so, pants with average windproof performance will be blown through by the wind in an instant when encountering strong winds; But keeping your knees and feet warm is totally acceptable.

3, upper body dress: It is recommended to add a warm layer on the basis of the standard three layers. The warm layer can be double-sided velvet or double-sided velvet with down (some friends use waist protectors, which are said to have a great warm effect). The jacket should have a good windproof effect, and the little friends also wear ski suits, and the effect is also very good.

4. Accessories:

Accessories are the key, accessories are the key, accessories are the key.

Head: fleece hat can be added with a layer of windproof hat (the hat on the coat will affect the line of sight)

Neck: the fleece collar is a little thin, and a thick scarf is needed. You can add two headscarves to it at the same time. This position is not too much.

Gloves: There must be thick wool that can resist wind, preferably mittens, and it is best to put a thin wool glove inside. In fact, ordinary thick winter gloves like ours are ok, but basically we can only walk with our pockets.

Face: remember not to expose your face, it is easy to get frostbite. All scarves and headscarves can also keep out the cold, but they often need to be sorted out. You can wear a mask or hood that only exposes your mouth and eyes. Remember not to wear glasses, the exhaled hot air will quickly frost and freeze.

5. In addition, frostbite recurs habitually, and outdoor enthusiasts suggest taking a set of spare equipment to avoid emergency use. In the case of extreme cold and strong wind, the warm paste effect is not good, but you should also bring some for your hands and feet. Sanitary napkins can be used to dry the body.

6. Precautions:

If the gloves are not warm, the trekking pole will be too cold to use. You can bring a pair of warm knee pads to protect your knees that are prone to catching cold.

Although it is important to keep warm, clothing accessories should be elastic and moderate. Too loose will increase air convection and keep warm, and it should not be too tight, so as not to affect blood flow and be more prone to frostbite. Don't take off your gloves at will.

Finally, we should prepare some necessary documents, cash, sanitary products, electronic products, and essential medicines: Band-Aids, chilblain cream, hand cream, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, traumatic injuries and so on.

6. Temple Tour Buddhist Activities Wutai Mountain Temple, there are many Buddhist activities every year, such as the Orchid Festival on July 15th of the lunar calendar, the Mule and Horse Festival in June of the lunar calendar, the Amitabha Christmas Day on September 30th of the lunar calendar, the Sakyamuni Dharma Meeting on the eighth day of December of the lunar calendar, and the Ten Temple Dharma Meeting in April of the lunar calendar.

In addition, there are irregular Buddhist cultural festivals, and the custom of grabbing the incense of the head column on the first day of each month in the lunar calendar is also crowded.

There are many Buddhist rituals, many of which are almost incomplete. Although the experience of encountering lively ceremonies is very special, you can't enjoy the quiet temple atmosphere. You have gains and losses, just follow the fate.

Generally speaking, the summer climate is comfortable, trees are shaded and there are more tourists. In winter, it is much cleaner because of the cold, and you can often see the white snow-capped mountains set off by the red wall temples, which has a unique flavor.

Visit suggestion:

The five most famous temples in Taihuai Town (Shuxiang Temple, Wu Ye Temple, Tayuan Temple, Xiantong Temple and Bodhisattva Top) are located on an almost closely connected line.

Incense is everywhere in Wu Ye Temple, which is a local belief. Tayuan Temple is where the Great White Pagoda is located. There is a 108 step on the top of Bodhisattva, overlooking the temple just now. When you get off the top of Bodhisattva and cross the bridge, it is the starting point of Dai Luoding.

If life is convenient, you can start from Shuxiang Temple, walk through Wu Ye Temple, Tayuan Temple, Xiantong Temple and Bodhisattva Peak in turn, and then start the road to Xiaochaotai. Some temples need extra charge, ranging from about ten yuan. Remember to prepare cash in advance.

Of course, there is no need to visit these temples. On the contrary, some small temples have a better experience of viewing and taking pictures because there are fewer tourists.

7. About frostbite Finally, because many people regard Wutai Mountain in winter as the first choice for hiking in snow-capped mountains, and during the hiking process, blood will gather in the legs, and the upper limbs and head are more prone to frostbite, this paper specially attaches a related introduction about frostbite.

(The above words are almost original. In order to comprehensively introduce frostbite, the following comprehensive excerpts are made from many online articles. )

1. The concept of frostbite:

Frostbite is a local or systemic injury to human body caused by cold and humidity. Mild cases can cause transient skin damage and should be treated in time; In severe cases, it will cause permanent sexual dysfunction and require professional treatment. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening and needs emergency rescue.

Frostbite begins with redness and itching, and further frostbite will turn white and numb. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the affected area will become dry and hard, and eventually become necrotic black. If left untreated, it will cause limb necrosis or permanent scar. Frostbite is no less harmful to human body than burn.

2. Causes of frostbite:

Frostbite is most likely to occur at the ends of limbs, such as fingers, toes, nose tip and other parts. In low temperature environment, these parts are at the end of blood circulation and are most vulnerable to injury.

Humidity is the first important factor to promote frostbite, so keep the frostbitten parts, underwear, hats and masks dry.

Wind is an important factor to promote frostbite. Wind energy accelerates thermal convection and heat loss, and promotes the reduction of environmental temperature. The greater the wind speed, the more calories the human body consumes, and the more likely it is to cause frostbite. At the same low temperature, frostbite is not necessarily caused when there is no wind, but when there is strong wind. Different wind speeds lead to different degrees of frostbite.

3. Frostbite process:

Frostbite in mountaineering or outdoor activities often happens when you are not paying attention. Where frostbite occurs, blood vessels often contract when cold, and blood circulation is not smooth, leading to numbness.

Experienced people will consciously move their toes and fingers, and immediately take measures to warm their numb limbs after their hands and feet feel numb. If necessary, they can put their hands and feet in the arms of themselves and their companions. Lack of oxygen will reduce the metabolic rate of the body, and water will thicken the blood, both of which will make frostbite more likely.

Frostbite of bare skin can occur in less than one minute when there is wind, and the newly frostbitten tissue is white (ischemia) or purple (congestion) and hard. Peer members should always check each other.

4. Frostbite diagnosis:

Once frostbite and the skin surface, the affected area has a tingling sensation, and gradually feels numb, and the skin is stiff, pale or blue. After the body temperature recovers, there will be congestion and edema, accompanied by local fever, itching or burning pain. The symptoms disappeared and recovered after a few days, leaving no trace on the skin and the function was not affected.

The second degree frostbite reaches the dermis, and the affected area is red, swollen and painful, and blisters will appear after a few hours. The symptoms disappeared and recovered after a few days, leaving no trace on the skin and the function was not affected.

Third-degree frostbite reaches the subcutaneous tissue, and the affected skin is bluish purple or blue, and the skin will gradually turn black and necrotic. Spots and dysfunction appear after skin recovery, which is a serious manifestation of frostbite.

The fourth degree frostbite is the most serious frostbite, which damages the skin and even bones. The skin is purplish black or bluish gray, and then the tissue is necrotic. Later skin will leave spots and dysfunction, and even lead to amputation and disability.

5. Post-treatment of frostbite:

1, the first step of frostbite treatment is to evacuate and keep warm. Even if it is inconvenient to evacuate, you need to be vigilant and take further warm measures as far as possible.

Note that the thawed tissue is very sensitive and fragile, and the re-frostbite of the thawed tissue is more harmful than not thawing at first, so if the injured person needs to walk with frostbitten feet or the frostbitten part may freeze when evacuating, don't thaw it first. )。

2. If the hands and feet are frostbitten, soak the hands or feet in warm water of 38~40 degrees until the skin color of the frostbitten area returns to normal. Patients can also put frostbitten hands under their armpits, so that the frostbitten parts can slowly return to warmth.

If the ear, nose and face are frostbitten, you can soak a towel with warm water of 42 degrees Celsius for local hot compress, or you can wear gloves or gently cover the frostbitten area with cotton pad and gauze pad until the skin color returns to normal.

3. When the skin is ruddy and silky, it means that it has been completely thawed; After rewarming, topical ointment for frostbite can be applied locally immediately.

In addition, in the case of second-degree frostbite, traumatic lesions such as blisters will appear on the skin after rewarming. Try not to handle the trauma yourself to avoid infection, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

4, remember: do not rub with ice and snow in frostbite, do not drink alcohol, it will increase heat dissipation, and even cause local damage;

Do not bake with fire or put chilblain in overheated water, which will lead to local tissue necrosis and aggravate frostbite;

It can't be reheated by hand rubbing, so the heat generated is extremely low, and it will also hurt the frozen fragile tissue.
