Tongxing

Huangshan ~1864.8 meters. In September, we climbed Huangshan, which originated from the centennial celebration. The dormant classmate feelings were revived, and we discussed whether we should go back to school. However, we finally vetoed this suggestion and decided to gather in Nanjing to form a separate celebration venue, and then set off for Huangshan. Five people, one car, and a pair of crutches took us four hours to drive directly from Nanjing Laomendong to the hotel at the foot of Huangshan. As it was still the peak season, we needed to make a reservation the day before climbing. At six o'clock the next morning, after trying the infeasibility of taking a cable car with crutches, the remaining four of us took the shuttle bus. Huangshan was originally called 'Yi Mountain', where 'Yi' means black. It is said that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven here after refining pills, and it was later renamed Huangshan. Whether this is true or not is hard to say, at least no documents have been seen. It is said that Huangshan has seventy-two large peaks, and I don't know who counted them. The highest peak is Lotus Peak, and the second highest is Tiandu Peak. These two peaks are opened alternately every five years for ecological protection. Although Tiandu Peak is more dangerous and challenging, we chose to experience Lotus Peak because it was closed for rest. Of course, now Lotus Peak can't be climbed. You can take a cable car to climb the mountain to save time and effort. Of course, you can also climb the mountain without a cable car. This is a necessary but not sufficient condition. As long as you are not tired, everything is fine. There are many cableways on Huangshan, and we took the Yuping cableway. Less than ten minutes after getting off the cable car, we saw the Guest-Greeting Pine. There are pine trees all over Huangshan. The famous ones include the top ten famous pines, including the Guest-Greeting Pine. But the current Guest-Greeting Pine is a substitute, which was newly selected more than ten years ago after the original one died. Further ahead is the most famous Welcoming-Guest Pine in Huangshan. First send guests and then welcome guests, it feels a bit impolite, and I don't know whether to let them come or not. What's the matter, it's all about fame. If the Guest-Greeting Pine dies, just find another one. Although this Welcoming-Guest Pine also looks sick, it still hangs a few steel bars, bracing against the wind in the valley, and the facade must have a responsible look. Walking back from the Welcoming-Guest Pine along a fork, you will reach Lotus Peak in about half an hour. The disadvantage of the peak season is that there are many tourists, but this is also a good thing. If you are stuck together and don't walk much, you won't feel tired. I have been to all the mountainous areas, and only the tourists in Huangshan are never crowded. This may also be related to the fact that the mountain road fence is only half waist high and it is easy to fall off when it is really crowded. The mood of the tourists is very calm, no one is urging, and they can't walk if they urge. When I came, I thought I would be stuck, watching the sea of clouds together, looking at Tiandu Peak on the opposite side that gave up queuing and walking back, it was also an experience. In this way, it took more than four hours to stop every three steps, and finally climbed to the 1864.8-meter Lotus Peak. The beauty of Lotus Peak is what you see is what you get. Viewing the mountains does not view the mountains, viewing the yellow does not view the mountains, it makes sense in terms of scenery. After descending from Lotus Peak, there is a sign indicating that there is a toilet behind a tool room. After queuing up, I found that the toilet is very simple, so simple that there is no door. The front is the tool room, and the back is Tiandu Peak separated by a cloud layer. Suddenly, I felt that the high-speed development of the focal length of the mobile phone lens today, the two peaks need to rest alternately. But this is only for male comrades to release their body and mind. I personally persuaded two female comrades who wanted to go to the toilet, and they were quite persuasive. Below Lotus Peak, there are fewer people, and the real test has come. Going forward, there is a section called a line of sky, which is a bit like the Canglong Ridge of Huashan, but the steps are narrower and only one person can pass. It's a bit troublesome for those with a waist circumference of four feet and two to climb up. Further ahead is the Aoyu Peak, 1780 meters. It is said to be the first of the thirty-six small peaks. This size does not divide the height. It looks like a turtle from a distance. The turtle, the turtle that monopolizes the turtle's head, is a kind of it. After passing Aoyu Peak, walk for about another hour to reach the third highest peak of Huangshan, the 1860-meter Bright Summit. According to martial arts novels, the Bright Summit surrounded by the six major factions is in the Kunlun Mountains, but there seems to be no Bright Summit in reality. If it is really in the Kunlun Mountains, the Shaolin faction in Henan has to walk for a month and a half without eating or sleeping, and there is nothing else to do. Bright Summit is not high or dangerous, and there is no chance to be protected by the ecology. Those who come to Huangshan to watch the sunrise often choose to stay here overnight. Those who do not stay in the hotel find a sleeping bag, endure the cold and hunger for a night, and fall asleep when the day is light, and they do not see the scenery of the sunrise. Curled up in the sleeping bag, it has become a scenery in the eyes of others. I met a few people carrying sleeping bags and walking in the opposite direction. It looked like they had just gotten up, and the sun would go down later. It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at Bright Summit, and the wind gradually rose and the fog rose, and the viewing was a bit unsatisfactory. Walking along the road, leaving the Yuping Scenic Area and entering the Baiyun Scenic Area, Huangshan is divided into more than ten scenic areas, each with a large main focus. You can stay in the mountain for the next day and continue climbing. It takes a month to climb all the way down. Although this section of the road is flat and wide stone steps, there are many ups and downs, and frequent ups and downs are indeed a challenge to the physical strength of adults. There are also sliding poles on the mountain. Because a few aunts in their seventies passed by, I was embarrassed to ask the price. After walking for half an hour, I arrived at the Flying Stone, the location of the 87 version of the Dream of Red Mansions by CCTV, which metaphorically represents Jia Baoyu. There is no guardrail on the right side facing the stone, and standing there with some ideas, it is easy to have no ideas. Continue walking for half an hour, and you will see a famous pine that is not among the top ten famous pines, the Unity Pine. The private tour guide next to it said that when the leader of a certain country in the south came here for a tour, he stood in front of this tree and sighed with the friendship of our comrades and brothers, so he named it accordingly. With this force, I walked for another hour and arrived at Monkey Watching the Sea next to Lion Peak. Huangshan's Four Wonders, Strange Pines, Strange Stones, Sea of Clouds, and Hot Springs. The representative of Strange Stones is Monkey Watching the Sea, and there is Dream Pen Flowering in the opposite direction. Strange stones look at the artistic conception. If you have a heart, you will have a situation. If you think it is, it is. Of course, strange stones can't be too strange. After Dream Pen Flowering, I originally planned to go over Shixin Peak, which is also one of the small peaks, but thinking about it, I have walked for four hours since I came down from Lotus Peak, with a flat distance of five kilometers, and my physical strength has also been consumed, and it is dark. , So I went down the mountain from the Cloud Valley Cableway, and when I took the shuttle bus back, it was the mountain gate when I came. The whole journey of climbing the mountain took more than ten hours. Except for rocks and pine trees, I would get tired if I saw too much. Thinking about it, everything in the world is like this. What you can't get and can't see is valuable. After the real experience, the Huangshan pines all over the mountains are just a piece of wood.
