Travelogue ‖ Anhui Jinzhai four-day trip

This article participates in the Council? Travelogue column "the motherland's great mountains and rivers" essay activities.

I was asked by my classmates to go on a four-day trip to Jinzhai, Anhui Province. After reading the notice of the tour, I went to the tour with the mindset that if I could not climb the mountain, I would walk under the mountain.

On October 11th at 7:00, 12 people in a 35-seat tour bus on time. 11 women plus a "Hong Changqing". A car of people, while laughing and eating, half of the hustle and bustle half of the squint, nearly seven hours of driving, but also do not feel long and fatigue. Some people say: "eating snacks and saying dead words is one of the contents of the tour." Not unreasonable! For a group of 60 years later, a group trip is meant to be a change of lifestyle, a change of place for recreation and entertainment. The icing on the cake is having a view to look at. It's a bit like the southerners who have been eating white rice, occasionally eat a dumpling or noodles, a change of taste, nutrition, what the heck. In fact, the fruit of the food, there is always nutrition; people on the journey, will meet the scenery.

After lunch in Liuhe, to the Dabie Mountain Grottoes.

China's grottoes are quite a few, the famous Longmen Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, I have only been to Longmen Grottoes. I know that the Dabie Mountain Grottoes certainly will not have the three major grottoes so many exquisite murals and sculptures, but more or less will have one or two it.

Entering the scenic area, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tianfo Zen Temple. According to legend, Emperor Kangxi, who traveled to the south of the Yangtze River for the purpose of ruling the Huai Shui, once visited this place and sighed that it was a very good place for cultivation, and then the local county government funded 1000 taels of silver to build the temple.

Through the temple to the east more than a hundred steps, far away from the cliffs on the grottoes - the original is just a few different sizes on the mountain caverns only. After circling a lake, you wind up the stone steps to the grotto and find nothing but a few artificial stalactites and a few fake plants inside.

The guide wanted to lead us up to the top of the mountain, but we were not interested in climbing the mountain. The two-hour tour ended in a few minutes.

The first stop on the trip to Lu'an did not let us get high, but for a group of Buddhist tourists, nothing so-called, in the mountainous areas of Dabie chatting with the Classic of Mountains and Seas walk, is not also worth remembering the experience of life.

Around four o'clock, we went to the hotel to rest. It is also a great pleasure to change the place to guandan card or swipe the cell phone.

After dinner, my classmates and I took a walk near the hotel to cool down. We met a square dance team and joined them for almost an hour, which is worth remembering.

12, slept a comfortable lazy, nine o'clock sharp departure into the Dabie Mountain Paradise Village National Forest Park. This is the last primitive forest in East China, a 5A level scenic area, a national geopark and a national nature reserve.

We mainly tour the Baima Grand Canyon.

Before the Paradise Walled City, the sky was blue and the mountains were green. We rode a sightseeing bus halfway up the mountain - the end of the "White Horse", got off the bus and walked down the mountain along the gurgling stream. On the two-hour descent, the mountain breeze was pleasantly cool. Passing through the Nine Dragons Joint Pool, Natural Castle, Leaping Horse Bridge, Immortal Residence, Dragon's Eye, Lover's Island, all the way down the mountain, experiencing the wild fun of canyon exploration.

After descending the mountain, we visited the former site of Liu Deng army's forward headquarters in Tiantangzhai. Someone said, "We're taking the red route this trip."

On the 13th, it was cloudy, but no rain, God bless.

We left at 8:00 and went to Tiantangzhai. Took the cable car straight up to the 1605 meters high up the mountain where people can reach. The temperature on the mountain is at least three to four degrees lower than that below the mountain, plus the wind is blowing, so we all have to take out our warm clothes, and a few senior beauties with thin down jackets are very proud of themselves - down jackets are useful after all.

From the junction of Anhui and Hubei monument to the east, looking at the west of the mountains in Wanzhou cloud; to the west bird's-eye view, the mountains and rivers on the land of E'dong into the bottom of the eye.

The road meets a group of old people dressed in what looks like Red Army uniforms, can not help but cast a look of admiration to them. We are a group of 60 after the "advance into the Dabie Mountains" are worried about the legs, worry about the legs can not, this group of 40 after the mountain actually walk steadily, talk and laugh freely. I don't know if we are the "fallen generation" in their eyes.

Stayed at the top of the mountain for more than an hour, viewed the Longjian Peak, forest and sea promenade, Guanjing Peak, the stone Buddha, the golden lion, the whale out of the sea, white elephants playing in the water and other attractions, and then downhill.

There are two ways to go down the mountain: one is to take the ropeway directly to the bottom of the mountain, and the other is to take the ropeway to the middle of the mountain, and then walk down the mountain for 30 minutes. The other two and I chose the latter.

The path is paved with wooden slats, which makes the soles of your feet feel very comfortable. There are few pedestrians on the road, and the only thing that comes to mind is the sound of insects and chirping. The only thing that comes to mind is the sound of insects, chirping birds, and the murmuring of water. All the way to meet the nine shadow waterfall, lover waterfall, lagoon waterfall, three waterfalls, although not "flowing straight down three thousand feet" of the spectacular scenery, but also like a silver train from the cliffs down, shake out a wisp of white smoke, water vapor, beads splash.

Appropriately 30 minutes, we came to the bottom of the mountain and ropeway ride partners to meet.

The nearly three-hour hike was far easier than I thought it would be before I arrived.

On the 14th, the sky was drizzling. We left at 7:30am for Wanfo Lake, a 5A scenic spot in Shucheng.

The guide introduced, it is 80 kilometers from Hefei, formerly known as the Longhekou Reservoir, because of the lake's giant Guanyin rock and 66 islands in the lake to form a magical "all the Buddhas to worship Guanyin" scene, but also because of the source of the water is a scenic mountain of ten thousand Buddhas, so the name of Ten Thousand Buddhas Lake. Wanfo Lake set "mountains, water, springs, rocks, islands, cliffs, walls, pools, forests, fish" as a whole, the island lake scenery is exquisite, geological peculiarities, but also a deep cultural heritage, the formation of a dam landscape, island lake landscape, fish culture landscape, Buddhist culture landscape, water culture landscape, history and humanities landscape, etc. as one of the island lake cultural tourism area.

From Lu'an, nearly two hours later, we came to the Wanfo Lake located in the eastern foothills of the Dabie Mountains. Standing on the dam to look out, the vast waves of water in a different size of the island shrouded in the misty rain and fog in the mountains, floating and indistinct, as if the Penglai realm of victory.

Take a boat trip to Swallow Island, Zhou Yu Island and Dragon King Island. I feel that the island is also like a lotus, "can only be seen from afar can not be blasphemous". However, the experience of touring the islands with an umbrella is also very special.

Two hours later, we boarded the boat. After lunch, we headed back home.

Anhui Jinzhai four-day tour, the harvest is not to see how much scenery, but a happy mood.

To be honest, when my classmates about me, in recent years, either here or there sore I have no confidence in their own physical strength and strength of foot. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good look at this, but I'm sure you'll be able to get a good look at this, and I'm sure you'll be able to get a good look at this.

Four days down the road, I found: my state is not so bad; others are not much stronger than me; the so-called tour of Dabie Mountain is not like what I thought it would be like to climb up countless steps.

So how do you know if you can do everything if you don't try?
