North of Taihang Mountain, is the breeze generous? —— Record the "Double Ladder and Double Ridge" Leap of South Taihang

—— Record the "Double Ladder and Double Ridge" Leap of South Taihang

Summer is coming. There are many mosquitoes, leeches and snakes in the southern mountains, and the weather is hot and humid, which is not suitable for long-distance outdoor walking. At this time, it's sunny in the north, so you don't have to worry about the sultry weather and snakes. It's more suitable for hiking in Shan Ye.

? "Northern Taihang, Southern Martial Arts" belongs to the outdoor classic entry donkey trip. According to friends who have been to South Taihang, the route is still worth visiting. This season, a trip to Nantai is naturally a good choice.

Taihang Mountain is no stranger to everyone. It used to be one of the two mountains in front of Gong Yu's house. Because I blocked the road, I was later carried to the border of Shanxi and Henan by Kuafu's son. I still remember reading the story of Yugong Yishan when I was a child. "Taihang Mountain and Mount Wu are 700 Li, and Wan Ren is very high. Ben is in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang ~ ~ "I once fantasized: What kind of mountain is this Taihang Mountain? What kind of Hercules is Kuafu's son, who can carry a mountain on his back? Ok, let's go and see this Taihang Mountain now.

Impression: the mountains in the south are beautiful, lush, waterfalls and green trees; The mountains in the north are very dangerous. There are stones, cliffs, trees and thorns everywhere. The mountains in the south are exquisite, just like the women in Jiangnan water town; The mountains in the north are rough, just like men in the wilderness in the north.

Most of the southern Taihang Mountains are in Henan, which separates Henan from Shanxi. The terrain is complex, with forests and canyons everywhere, forming a special beauty, so some people say that Taihang Mountain left the most beautiful part to Henan.

According to the predetermined plan, the hiking route is Qingshuizhuang-Longshui Ladder-Baiyun Temple-Zhongjingding-Jiguan Ladder-Crossridge-Wangmang Ridge-Dishuizhai-Hankou, so it is called "Double Ladder and Double Ridge". This route includes all kinds of beautiful scenery in the South Taihang, but also avoids the over-commercialized scenic spots in Guo Liang and walks silently and happily.

As usual, everyone leaves at 7 o'clock on Friday night, which is convenient for office workers to arrange their time, take advantage of weekends, stay away from the noise and enjoy nature. When you get out of the subway and turn to the assembly point, you will see three or five groups of donkey friends talking and laughing. Because I often participate in activities, I see many familiar faces. A bus, more than 40 friends, set off in laughter. Just got on the bus and began to corrupt, beer, fruit, snacks ~ ~.

It's about 800 kilometers away from Qingshuizhuang at the foot of South Taihang. The bus needs to rest in the service area between 2 pm and 5 pm, so I specially brought a quick-opening tent so that I can camp in the service area quickly. Although there is a lot of traffic outside, sleeping in a tent is still beautiful. Because I was sleepy, I fell asleep soon, and it seemed that rain fell on the tent at night. At 4: 30, I packed my tent, finished washing, ate a bowl of instant noodles in a hurry, and continued to get on the bus to sleep.

Wake up in the morning, the sun is shining, the sky outside the window is blue, and there are several white clouds floating. Open the WeChat circle of friends, but all the news is that the rainstorm flooded the city. Shall we go out for shelter from the rain? Ha ha. I can't help but send a picture of blue sky and white clouds to show off.

? After getting off the expressway, the bus drove into Huixian and stopped at the roadside for a short time. Friends who didn't have breakfast bought some breakfast. The sticky soup in Henan is still good. The car entered the mountainous area and bumped all the way. At ten o'clock, I finally arrived at the entrance of the mountain-Qingshuizhuang, a small village in the mountain. The village is built on a hillside. The villagers built a toilet with stones at the entrance of the village. When they saw the bus coming, they came over to an old woman who stood by the toilet and charged one yuan. It should be a business opportunity generated by the interaction between donkey friends. It seems that the simplicity of northerners is missing.

Standing on the edge of the village, looking around, there are mountains, towering mountains and cliffs. Under the blue sky, the mountain in front is like a huge stone wall, and there are many white clouds floating on the top.

After simply sorting out the items, the team began to set out and set foot on Taihang Mountain, which officially opened the curtain of this crossing activity. Passing Qingshui Village, bypassing a family's stone house, walking along the mountain path, and entering a valley, it is said that it is called Qilingou. Climbing all the way to the valley is not wide, but there are no thorns, so it is easier to walk. The canyons on both sides gradually deepened, and the valleys were full of stones, which were washed away by the current. This valley should be a seasonal stream. The air in the mountains is fresh and the vegetation is lush.

? The sun is shining and the temperature is quite high. I keep climbing and sweating. Walking outdoors is a kind of hearty sweat, which can be released in an air-conditioned room.

At noon, the team marched to a shady place in the valley and started lunch. After dinner, I continued to climb, and there were springs along the way, trickling on the rocks and forming a small pool under the rocks. There is a dragon water ladder ahead. There seems to be a cliff ahead, and there is no way to reach the top. The dragon water ladder is a path that spirals up between cliffs, and some places are stone steps, which are easy to walk. The winding, winding, winding path is particularly beautiful. Every place can choose a good photo spot, have a beautiful view all the way, and take photos while walking. After climbing for a while, I reached the steep stone wall, where the word "towering into the sky" should be just right. Standing on a boulder next to the dragon water ladder, I looked up and saw a Chinese painting, with mountains and valleys winding and a vast sky. The dragon water ladder came out from between two huge stones and reached the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is a relatively flat highland with forests and grasslands. The vanguard troops unloaded their bags in the Woods to enjoy the cool, waiting for the rear team to avoid the team stretching too long. This guy "Night" actually took out a watermelon from his bag, which has always been a matter of course for people who eat melons. After a hard climb, it is especially sweet to eat a watermelon at the top of this barren mountain. After the team arrived, they took a group photo on the grass and continued to the Baiyun Shrine.

I have been climbing for a long time. I think it should be downhill ahead. I just want to tie my knee pads. "Night" said that the front is basically flat, but I didn't expect it to be the flat land on this cliff. During the ancient war, it should be regarded as a paradise.

There is a piece of Yang Shulin by the roadside, which is obviously planted artificially. It is estimated that someone lives nearby. Out of the Woods, the road turned, and suddenly some farmhouses appeared in front. There is a cornfield on the roadside, which has just sprouted and has been hoed. There are no weeds. It seems that the master is still very diligent. In the village, some stone houses, some of which are dilapidated, seem to have been abandoned for a long time. This should be Longshuiti village. Walnut trees and hawthorn trees can be seen everywhere on the roadside, and they have already borne fruit. It seems that they will have a bumper harvest this year.

Further on, there is a highway around the mountain. Although simple, vehicles can still come in. There are several off-road vehicles in the poplar forest by the roadside, and several hammocks are tied to the trees. It seems that we should go to road trip this weekend. Too leisurely.

In front of a small bridge, there is a monk on the bridge. Say "Amitabha" and ask for directions. We will arrive at Baiyun Mountain Villa soon. There are signs at the bridge head, and you can go to Baiyun niche along the path. Moving on, climbing a small steep slope, I heard the players in front shouting "Here we are". Looking up, I saw a stone farmhouse with "Baiyun Mountain Villa" written on the front door and a construction site next to it, which seemed to be building a new house. The enthusiastic boss greeted him. This person should be the "old resident"-Hukanar. The route of double ridges, double ladders and white clouds niches is the only way. Many donkey friends choose to rest here, so the "old household" has become a famous figure on this crossing line.

Surrounded by green trees, the village is a good place for quiet and daze. Baiyun shrine, a nice name, is a shrine of Baiyun. It is the village with the highest elevation in South Taihang, with an altitude of about1300m. It is said to be a village, but there are actually only three families. Perhaps there are many families of three, and there are also many families with single-family houses in the depths of Taihang Mountain.

There is a big apricot tree in the yard of my hometown, which covers the whole yard. Apricots are covered with branches and not yet mature. A cauldron, steaming hot, is steaming steamed bread, and the aroma has filled the whole yard. I haven't eaten steamed bread just out of the pot for a long time. I want to eat one more today. Let's go to the hospital to have a rest, have tea and allocate rooms, then go to Jinding and have dinner after going down the mountain.

There are stone mills and stone mills beside the village, which seem to have been idle for a long time. They are only used for decoration, but they do add some antique flavor to the village.

Zhongjinding stands behind Baiyun Xiaosheng Village, and when you look up, you can see the top of the hill in front of the old household. The top of the mountain is a good place to enjoy the sunset. Cross the forest path and climb all the way. There are some huge stones along the way, which are particularly beautiful. At this time, everyone's camera and mobile phone are the same, and they left this beautiful scenery with a click. Many donkey friends come with skirts. Is this for taking pictures? Ha ha. It only takes 20 minutes to reach the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain is a relatively flat platform with a small house built of stones. The tiles on the roof are iron tiles, not temples. You can camp in front of the temple and can accommodate four tents. Open the tent here and you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Looking up from afar, beyond the mountains, there is a plain, and the land that has just harvested wheat leaves residual wheat stalks, making the earth look vast.

After seeing the beautiful scenery of Jinding, it's time to go down to corruption. Dinner in the farmhouse, set a few tables. Although it is a simple farm dish, there is wine and meat, and many people are very lively and enjoy it.

Set up the tent in the open space next to the farmhouse inn. The air is good. If you are in a good mood, you can open the tent and look at the starry sky. The night in the mountains is quiet. Go to sleep after a big meal.

The next day's route is very long, so I need to get up early. The plan of the team is to have breakfast at 4: 30 and leave at 4: 45. So I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to tidy the tent. Breakfast is also a farm dish, corn stubble porridge and peasant steamed bread.

Teams gather, roll call, take photos, and then start a new journey to the most dangerous cockscomb ladder. After a night's rest, all the teammates are full of energy. "Night" said: In order to catch up with the time, I have to walk all the way today, and I have no time to take pictures. So I put my camera away, too. (As a result, the journey was quite leisurely. )

"I don't know how dangerous it is if I don't climb the cockscomb ladder." Cocktail ladder is the most difficult and dangerous part of this crossing. It's definitely climbing a mountain here. You must use all your limbs. Most of the stones on the stone ladder are easy to loosen and fall off, so be careful. At this time, the trekking pole seems to be in the way. Put away the trekking poles, keep a distance from your teammates and crawl carefully. All the way to the cliff is quite thrilling. However, you can't miss the opportunity to take pictures. Although the camera is in place, the scenery is ahead and the photos taken by the mobile phone are good.

After climbing the mountain, standing above the ladder, I looked up and saw that "once I climb to the top, you will see that other mountains are dwarfs under the sky." . The sun has just risen, revealing half a red face in the clouds on the horizon. The blue-brown peaks look solemn against the sun. Exposed rocks, lush trees and unknown wild flowers around the peak are shrouded in the morning light, and the eyes are like fairyland. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, so you can take photos in various poses. This ladder is not easy to climb, and it is even harder to get down.

The road through Shuangling is relatively gentle, with beautiful scenery, and various peaks make people linger. Suddenly, I heard one baa after another. Looking ahead, I saw a flock of sheep grazing on the mountain. Lambs can climb this mountain. Why are we not as good as lambs? Come on! Walk quickly along the winding narrow path in the mountains.

When I arrived at Crossridge, my eyes were suddenly enlightened and a meadow appeared in front of me. I suddenly understood why everyone said "Northern Taihang, Southern Martial Arts". There are many sheep on the hillside, and I am a little nearsighted. I can't see clearly which ones are sheep and which ones are stones in the distance. On the mountain road in front of Crossridge, it should be a sheep camp, which has a strong smell of sheep dung. A flock of sheep in front are grazing leisurely. Take a picture of the shepherd and pretend to be leisurely.

All the way through the path halfway up the mountain. There are green grass nearby and mountains in the distance. There are several unknown wild flowers on the roadside, and there are several peaks and turns. Looking back, a team of more than 40 people, hidden in the grass and trees, winding in the depths of the mountains, is spectacular.

After several twists and turns, there is a natural stone bridge by the road. After crossing the Tiansheng Bridge, we will soon be in Wangmang Ridge. After several twists and turns, the mountain is like a blade, and the roads on both sides are winding. We arrived in Wangmang Ridge. According to legend, Wang Mang chased Liu Xiu to camp here in the Western Han Dynasty, hence the name Wangmang Ridge. The most beautiful stone forests in Wangmang Ridge are those strange peaks and rocks with different shapes, which are breathtaking. They rise from the ground, like an indomitable pillar, and stand tall like stalagmites, competing in the misty sea of clouds. On the top of the stone peak, pines and cypresses. This section of the road has been walking on the path of the canyon cliff. The shape of the mountain is really clear at close range and picturesque at a distance. Thousands of valleys, lush vegetation, continuous peaks and valleys, panoramic view.

Coming down from Wangmangyakou, I made a steep descent all the way and soon arrived at Dishui Village. It is a compliment that people on the hillside actually built an open-air swimming pool. Summer night, in this deep mountain, lying in the swimming pool, looking at the stars all over the sky, breathing the fresh mountain breeze, how comfortable. Envy belongs to envy, but we must hurry down the mountain. If you are not careful, you will deviate from the route, turn back quickly, and continue to retreat from the valley next to the village.

Today's luck is really good. On a cloudy day, there is almost no sun exposure. Occasionally, the cool mountain wind blows, and I feel very relaxed.

12 arrived at Hankou village. Get in the car, sleep all the way, and go home. At 1 1: 30 in the evening, I returned home after two days' absence, and my pleasant trip was over. Watching cars coming and going to the neon-lit city, I suddenly felt that I had fallen from the clouds again. Go to sleep quickly and move bricks tomorrow morning.

Nowadays, Guo Liang Village in the depths of Taihang Mountain has been over-commercialized, with traffic and people coming and going. It is only suitable for tourists who come here to travel, and it is no longer suitable for hiking. The "Double Ladder and Double Ridge Crossing" route has a moderate distance and thousands of scenery along the way. Canyon, staircase, meadow, narrow intestine, Tiansheng Bridge, wall-hung trail, Qifeng Stone Forest and so on are all classic hiking routes. The "double ladder and double ridge" crossing trip, it is really hard to get to and from the bus, but there are many beautiful scenery. I don't mind going again if I have the chance.

Look at the photos when you get home. Recall the scenery all the way and piece together some words. Beauty is in the heart, but words are lacking. I can't describe the beautiful scenery completely. Even if I record a little history, I can recall having been there after several years.
