When I first came to Jinan, I was not busy with my work, and even though it was a scorching summer, I didn't know where to get excited, so I bought a ticket and went to climb the Thousand Buddha Mountain by myself. Because it is from the main door into the north gate, so the road to climb than the other door into a lot farther, do not look at the altitude of the thousand Buddha Mountain is only more than two hundred meters above sea level, such as me, a big guy or a rest several times before climbing to the top of the mountain, rested on the top of the mountain is enough to half an hour before regaining their strength. So the first time to climb the thousand Buddha Mountain ended. Never would have thought that my second time to climb Thousand Buddha Mountain actually came so quickly. That afternoon a few new colleagues chatting together to talk about the Thousand Buddha Mountain, I heard that the Thousand Buddha Mountain after seven o'clock in the evening for free, we will be a hit together to go to the night climb the Thousand Buddha Mountain. Although I have climbed a thousand Buddha Mountain, but this time the route is completely different, this time from the east gate into, and is the night climb thousand Buddha Mountain, sounds good. Eat dinner early, carrying half a watermelon and his party went out. At the beginning of the night on the thousand Buddha Mountain does not charge admission fee is still half believing, from the east gate there are more than ten meters to see people are free to enter and exit, which only put down the heart, stride forward.
Into the east gate to the right turn, along a path through a forest, the moonlight sprinkled down, dappled, like neon, very nice. Vaguely see a few small holes in the ground, that is, the cicadas broke out of the ground left behind the "evidence", which now reminds me of the days when I was a small time and small friends together with the cicadas. The same woods running around, playing and playing, so happy. The night was hazy, and I could vaguely hear a few cicadas chirping and whispering in my ears, like they were cheering us up for the rest of the hike. Thank you, cicadas, for your loving encouragement. So the group continued to go forward, out of the woods is an open space, which is really a good place, a good place to relax and cool off. Retired aunts and uncles have long thought of this. Every night, accompanied by light music, square dance staged, is really dynamic, look at me and want to kind of jumping feeling. I think when I'm old, after dinner, with my old partner with square dancing is really a happy, cozy thing. Here is not only the ground is empty, there is a "heavy weapon" pressure field, along the steps up to look, a big Buddha into the eyes, look at his smile nourishing look, should be the Maitreya Buddha. This Maitreya Buddha is too big, the whole body golden, shining, standing at his feet really have a feeling of a drop in the ocean, feel that he is now the monkey, even if there are millions of changes, but also can not escape from the palm of the Buddha. There are Buddha's place how less Guanyin, in the Maitreya Buddha's left hand side there is a sculpture of Guanyin, although not as big as the Maitreya Buddha, but also stands in the clouds, people look up. She is supposed to be the Goddess of Mercy, and her fragrance is unending.
That's the view from the foot of the mountain, next we have to officially climb the mountain. First of all, we have to walk a section of the open avenue, this road is open, but not flat, it is with at least forty-five degrees of gradient of the road, so we have been in the sharpening and walking. Such a journey how less music as a companion, listening to music, the breeze Buddha face, although it is panting, the heart is also satisfied. Wait until this road is finished, in front of us is a section of the ladder, the steps have more than sixty degrees, which is to be compared with the steep steps of Mount Tai ah. Both come to peace, climb it, at first okay, legs also refused to give in, a layer of steps to climb, but not yet climbed to the top of the mountain legs are like lead, really can not lift, footsteps slowly stopped. But even so, we did not stop the pace of progress, slow is slow, as long as you insist, the end will eventually arrive. Climbing, a few of our shirts are almost wet, to a flat boundary, which is also a good place to enjoy the scenery, would like to see the scenery in this place on the back, but I know the best scenery to the top of the mountain to see, we need to continue to move forward.
The steps are finally finished, because the next part of the road before, so I know that the following is a section of the rocky road, walk through this section is the top of the mountain, there is no more steps, seems to be more difficult to walk, to be careful not to twist the foot.
Finally, came to the pavilion, the beams are full of people praying for the use of peace with the charm, red, string after string, there are all kinds of blessings on the top, hanging there look great. I think they can be like wind chimes, the breeze gently flicked, making a burst of sound, it would be more perfect. At night the top of the Thousand Buddha Mountain is very refreshing, the wind blew over, but also out of the heart of the sadness, I think all the hard work of climbing the mountain is for the happiness of this moment. The night scenery is fascinating, this Jinan night view in the eye, beautiful, I finally understand the Du Fu pen, "when the top, a glimpse of the mountains," the mood, from the top of the Thousand Buddha Mountain to see the night of Jinan, the lights, bright stars, it is not only the brightest stars in the air, the world also have ah, here, in the heart.
