I have long heard comments about Huangshan: Five Mountains return without looking at the mountains, and Huangshan returns without looking at the mountains. It is said that this is the conclusion reached by Xu Xiake, a traveler and geographer in Ming Dynasty, after traveling all over the country. In his eyes, Huangshan is a collection of famous mountains: the majesty of Mount Tai, the preciseness of Huashan, the smoke of Mount Heng, the waterfall of Lushan, the dexterity of geese, the beauty of Emei, and Huangshan have both. It is known as "the first wonder mountain in the world". Huangshan Mountain can be said to have no peaks, rocks, pines and wonders, and is famous for its strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds, hot springs and winter snow.
Legend has it that since Pangu opened the world, there has been Huangshan Mountain. Because it is steep, only golden monkeys who are good at climbing will come swimming. It was several years before people came. The first newcomer was the Yellow Emperor, and Huangshan Mountain became famous. This is the origin of Huangshan's name. There are many peaks in Huangshan Mountain, and there are 72 peaks in Huangshan Mountain, or Cui Wei is magnificent or steep and beautiful, with a patchwork layout and natural beauty. Taking Tiandufeng, Lianhuafeng and Guangmingding as the center, it spreads around, falls into deep valleys, and rises to peaks and cliffs.
Various legends and evaluations have deepened the yearning for Huangshan Mountain. With some excitement and curiosity, I took the opportunity to go to Ningbo, joined a tour group with 18 friends, and took a special bus from Ningbo, Zhejiang Province to Huangshan, Anhui Province, and started a three-day sightseeing tour of Huangshan.
When we arrived that day, we went rafting first and stayed at Yunhailou Hotel at the foot of Huangshan Mountain at night. The next morning, after breakfast, I started to go up the mountain. First, take the station wagon to Panshan Highway. When our bus circled on the winding mountain road, I really admired the driver's skillful driving skills. Looking at the green trees all over the mountain, I feel great. When my ears feel tinnitus from time to time, I know it is already hundreds of meters high. Looking into the distance from the side window, the mist fills the air, and the fairyland-like artistic conception emerges at the moment, and happiness arises spontaneously. The mountains in the distance are magnificent; Enchanting clouds are unpredictable; Numerous strange pines and rocks, with different shapes, are beautiful. I looked down, I looked out, I looked around, I fixed my eyes, and now I think my eyes are not enough. Unconsciously, we have reached the mouth of Huangshan Mountain, and then we will take the cable car up the mountain. On the cable car, I felt the poverty of life and realized my smallness for the first time. As if flying on a cable car, the eardrum rises and the heart beats faster. We flew in the clouds for a while, but we couldn't see anything. We flew out for a while, surrounded by mountains, all connected, and the strange peaks were listed in different shapes. Clouds surround the mountainside, stand among the mountains and overlook the clouds in the distance. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Huangshan Mountain along the way, only feel that I am in a fairyland.
It was sunny when I went up the mountain, but the visibility was not very good after crossing the tunnel. There seems to be a faint mist in the sky, and the rolling mountain background in the distance sets off some gray, so the scenery is not clear enough to really see. At that time, I saw the sea of clouds in Huangshan on TV, which was illusory and spectacular, and it felt like a fairyland. The tour guide said that if you are lucky, you can see the sea of clouds, but the sea of clouds can only be formed under certain temperature and humidity conditions, not several times a year. It's a pity that we missed it. When you get off the cable car, you are greeted by picturesque cultural beauty. Facing the masterpiece of Huangshan nature, it is amazing. Everyone looks at it with amazing eyes, appreciates it, and can't help but admire the magic of the creator!
The beauty of Huangshan Mountain is an artistic beauty that can't be expressed in words, and it has a humanistic beauty that makes people have too many associations. The scenery of Huangshan changes with time, the scenery is ever-changing and fleeting, and every minute is different, dazzling and dazzling. This trip can only give a rough idea of the great beauty of Huangshan Mountain, because it is everywhere, and our footprint is too small to cover all of it. We can only March into Yingkesong step by step. After a hard journey, I finally came to the legendary welcoming pine. I looked at it carefully: the branches on one side of it stretched out, like people holding out their arms to welcome guests from afar. It is graceful, graceful, vigorous and straight trunk, without a trace of femininity. Branches are like clanking iron bones, and black and green pine needles are like steel wires. It is said that this tree is over 1000 years old. It is the landmark landscape of Huangshan Mountain. It's true that you haven't been to Huangshan before welcoming guests, so people who come here to take photos with it are all lined up. It's really a sea of people A boulder next to the welcoming pine is called the lion stone because it looks like a lion sitting on a plate. The stone is covered with stone carvings such as "other mountains are short in the sky". There is also "Guanzhi". After taking a photo with Yingkesong, we went to Lotus Peak, the highest peak in Huangshan Mountain.
The higher people go, the more excited they feel. We walked all the way up the hill. I was deeply moved by the porters passing by us on the mountain road. They carried heavy steel pipes. Some people carry bundles of drinks; Some bring a change of bedding or vegetables and fruits; Some of them are carrying huge stone carvings and cement, and most of them look very thin. The heavy burden makes them walk slowly, but every step is so solid. Years of hard work make them look ruthless, and everything around them seems to be ignored. When resting, put a short wooden pole in your hand in the middle of the pole. When carrying, the wooden pole extends from the other shoulder to the middle of the pole, so that the two shoulders can share the load, which is comparable to our speed.
Taking pictures and climbing all the way, I was able to walk fast or take two steps at first. Slowly, every step is laborious. Fortunately, the weather is clear, the temperature on the mountain is only 16 to 2 1 degree, and the wind on the mountain is extremely cool, just like bathing in a clear stream. Unconsciously arrived at the intersection of Lotus Peak, which is one of the highest peaks in Huangshan Mountain, with an altitude of 1864 meters. Our trip was organized by five family members, each of whom was old and young, and the terrain of Lotus Peak was steep, so we divided into two teams. Dare to climb the lotus peak, women and children are different ways, meet the lotus pavilion. Because of the lack of exercise at ordinary times, I tremble at the sight of bottomless cliffs, so I don't climb Lotus Peak with the brigade. After parting ways with them, we walked all the way talking and laughing, enjoying the strange peaks and rocks of Huangshan Mountain while laughing; Its form can be described as strange and amazing. Like people and things, like birds and beasts, they have different shapes and vivid images. Impressive stones include peacock playing with lotus, rhinoceros looking at the moon, and immortals leading the way. The magical nature and uncanny workmanship have created magical peaks and rocks, which make people think infinitely and imagine infinitely, adding infinite charm to Huangshan Mountain.
We crossed the careful slope and the Happiness Bridge to the Lotus Pavilion, and the little lotus became the most concentrated place for tourists. This place has a canteen, tea and vegetables to sell, and it is getting cold on the Lotus Pavilion. Fortunately, I prepared cold-proof clothes when I went up the mountain, which can come in handy at this time. Here are two natural and ingenious stones, "the tortoise and snake share the ladder", just like the tortoise and snake, which are lifelike. After we meet at the Lotus Pavilion, we have to set off again. The next goal is to go to Tianhai. The most difficult places to walk in this section are the 100-step ladder and the first-line sky. The ladder has 180 steps and stands among the clouds. If the ladder connects heaven and earth, it is the most dangerous slope. I call it a ladder. It's hard to avoid being nerve-racking to cross the ladder. After walking for about forty minutes, we came to the first scenic spot. There has been a long queue here, and the people above are struggling to climb up. One day, there was a narrow stone lane between the two walls, only 2 meters wide, with more than 80 steps in the middle. The narrow place was only half a meter, and only one person could pass through it, which was very steep. However, the stone walls and guardrails on both sides can ensure the safety of tourists. Walking in it, looking up at the sky, there is only one line left in the blue sky. We climbed to the top of Aoyu Peak, where there was a "big article" written by Zou Lu, but the chapter of the article was written wrong. The tour guide's explanation was intentional. On the way from Aoyufeng to Tianhai, you have to pass the medicine drying platform used by the Yellow Emperor when refining medicine in Huangshan Mountain. We can have a good rest when we arrive at Tianhai. After eating and drinking enough, we stayed at Guangmingding for an hour.
About forty-five minutes later, we climbed the second peak of Huangshan Mountain, Guangmingding, at an altitude of1860m. The mountain road on the top of Guangmingding is relatively gentle, so it doesn't take much physical effort. There is basically no scenery on the road from Tianhai to Guangmingding, and you can basically play all over it when you get to Guangmingding. Guangmingding's vision is quite broad, which makes people feel that it is not the top of the mountain, but a big rooftop, which is the best place for Huangshan Mountain in any season and time. The most striking sign of Guangmingding is the huge white ball of the Meteorological Observatory, which can be seen on almost any peak of Huangshan Mountain. According to the tour guide, this is the north-south junction of Huangshan Mountain, with Beihai in the north, Qianhai in the south and Tianhai here. At this time, we really reached the hinterland of Huangshan Mountain. There was a sea of people on the top of Guangming, and we found a gap. Standing on the top of the light, we look around, misty, beautiful Zhong Ling, pines and cypresses, lush; The peaks are beautiful and towering, each with its own shape.
From the top of the lamp, we walked down the mountain road. As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easier than going down. In addition, it has just rained cats and dogs, and the mountain road is even more difficult to walk. We walk through the mountains, drifting with the wind, rising, rotating and stretching, thus presenting a sea of clouds. The beauty of the sea of clouds is that it looks like the sea, not the sea, but the sea looks like the sea. When it appears, it looks like a white wave. When it is submerged, only the peaks are exposed, just like the undulating islands in the sea. In a blink of an eye, the waves fluctuated and the waves splashed. Looking at the mountains in the distance, I can't help but think of Du Fu's poem "Reach the Peak, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.." . On the way back, we all recalled the beautiful scenery of Huangshan Mountain. Although there are no resplendent temples or resplendent temples in Huangshan Mountain, it attracts thousands of tourists with its unpretentious natural beauty and ethnic color. No wonder Xu Xiake, a great traveler in Ming Dynasty, lamented that "Five Mountains returned without looking at the mountains, and Huangshan returned without looking at the mountains".
