At dawn, the sunlight sprinkles on every inch of land in Qingyuan Mountain, as if gilding this ancient land with a layer of gold. I ascend the mountain path, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air, which is utterly refreshing. Finally, standing before Laojun Rock, I am deeply captivated by the sight.
