It's a truly beautiful sight, standing on the observation deck, which has only one access point. The stone road, which is less than a meter wide, extends from the mountain. After extending for three or four meters, it is set up with this platform. The total area of the platform is about ten square meters, and there are three layers of stones piled on it, but fortunately, it seems that the stones will not slide and roll down to a deep ditch of several hundred meters.

Standing on the platform, suddenly all around, a completely isolated island nature of a viewing platform, natural. As soon as Yang Zaixin came here, his first feeling was trembling, because the surrounding area was empty, and the only place connected to the mountain was narrow and lonely, and it seemed that this rock would leave the mountain at any time and fall into the ditch.

"Director Yang, are you afraid of heights? Long Xiuguo said with a smile, maybe he was a little nervous when he saw Yang Zaixin.

Anyone who visits this place for the first time will probably feel the same way. The circumference is a cliff, white and sensen, directly perpendicular to the bottom of the ditch. Looking at the bottom of the ditch, if there is someone below, it is estimated to be the size of an ant, how far is the actual distance, Yang Zaixin estimates that it is at least six or seven hundred meters.

After a while, getting used to this natural viewing platform, the mountain breeze blows, and the sweat on my body gradually dries out, which is exceptionally cool. Looking around, the stone walls on both sides of the observation deck are like axes chopping, and sometimes there are some dwarf evergreen trees in the middle of the mountain. What the observation deck looks like below itself cannot be seen from their angle, but only from the opposite mountain, or from the side of the hill.

The opposite mountain is also a cliff, and three gorges stretch into the distance. Directly opposite is a large stone pillar that is higher than the observation deck, Long Chenghai pointed to the big stone pillar opposite, "Director Yang, the opposite side is called the Star Picking Platform, don't you look like it?"

From this side, it is a stone forest, stone walls stacked on stone walls, stone walls with stone walls, all hundreds of meters high, only to the top of the mountain there are trees like wearing hats, hiding these natural rocks. Look closely, there is indeed a place on the opposite side that resembles a pillar platform, because the altitude on the opposite side is slightly higher than the observation deck, and the situation on the platform is not clear, however, the height of the platform directly opposite the pillar is estimated to be three or four hundred meters, and then there are gorges on both sides, but you can't see how deep the gorges extend.

According to Long Chenghai, this gorge is docked behind the opposite stone pillar, and there is only a ladder-like stone road behind this pillar to reach the top of the mountain. "Can you get over? Yang Zaixin said.

"Yes, but not today. Go down the river. There is a platform of nearly five acres on the star-picking platform and a two-acre paddy field. ”

"Isn't it the top of a stone pillar? Yang Zaixin asked.

"There are paddy fields, which were cultivated before. A temple was also built with a spring for drinking and cultivating rice. Zhang Bing said.

"It's a really peculiar place. Who would have thought that on such a stone pillar, there would be springs, temples, and rice fields. ”

"Director Yang, there are still many stories. Long Xiuguo said, "It is said that when the mountain bandits were very fierce before, the people in the nearby villages hid in the mountains, and as long as the road up the mountain was blocked, no one could attack it." Another legend is that in ancient times, the emperor of the soil took a fancy to a beautiful woman and wanted to take it for himself. Beauty already has a kind of person, naturally refusing. Later, the villagers retreated to the star-picking platform, and held on for three and a half years, until there was no food on it, and all starved to death, and the soldiers of the Emperor of the soil attacked. ”

Such a story may be true, or it may be made up, but the star picking platform is indeed a very unique geological place, combined with the surrounding mountain walls, river ditches, and stories, there are also some basic elements to make a scenic spot.

"It's so dangerous to pick up the star platform, can we go and see it tomorrow?" Yang Zaixin was a little itchy.

"No problem. Long Xiuguo said, "Although it is difficult to find the road, there will always be people who go up to the star platform to see it every year." However, there is some controversy over the ownership of Xingxingtai and neighboring counties, according to us, this mountain is the territory of Shuanggou Village from the ancient book. This is also recognized by neighboring counties. But if you want to go up to the star platform, you have to go up from the neighboring county, and there is no road from the site of Shuanggou Village. ”

"We're passing through, not grabbing territory. Yang Zaixin said with a smile that as for the future development of this project, it can be discussed with neighboring counties, "Is there a highway from neighboring counties to Xingtai?"

"It's not a road, but the nearest village to Xingtai is only two miles, and the road to that village is a village in Linxian County. From the outside, you can only climb up from the bottom of the ditch, which is too steep and very unsafe. Long Xiuguo said.

Looking at the opposite side from this observation deck, the bottom of the stone wall is faint, and you can also imagine what is going on on such a stone wall. Yang Zaixin has always been more fond of sports, but in the past few years, by Zhang Tongjun's side, there are few opportunities to exercise, and there is more time to sit down and make written materials, so he really doesn't dare to climb such a cliff. The village officials will certainly not accompany themselves to do so.

"Okay, let's pick a day to go to the star-picking platform to have a look. The name of this place alone is very desirable. ”

A few people sat down, the observation deck was small, but big enough for them to sit and chat and look at the surrounding scenery. Although there are three huge stones stacked here, there is no sense of danger at this time. Enjoy the mountain breeze, the wind is suddenly calm and fierce, Long Chenghai threw a cigarette to everyone, lit it, and there were a few puffs of green smoke scattered in the wind.

"Director Long, isn't it a good place to develop a scenic spot here. In addition, the water flow on the lower side of the river is relatively fast, is it possible to develop rafting? Looking at it this way, geological landscapes, country houses, rafting adventures, and even other contents can be developed, such as making a horizontal plank road on the mountain wall, and making a glass bridge here at the star picking platform, aren't they all very attractive projects?"

"Director Yang, here I want to say that the landscape is still very competitive, but it is too remote and the traffic platform is backward. There are a lot of tourists coming, and it's not easy to receive them. Long Xiuguo still has no confidence in Yang Zaixin's idea.

Taking pictures with a camera, although Yang Zaixin's camera is not professional, but because he is by Zhang Tongjun's side, he doesn't want to lose face when he buys this camera, and the quality is still good. The effect of the photo is far less exciting than the viewing, and the main reason is that the angle of shooting cannot be selected.

After a few days, I went to the star picking platform to see it, and took pictures of the surrounding landscape, which is considered an integral part. As for the drop of the river on the other side of the river, it must be measured by professional people before there is specific data. The flow of the stream on the river is not sufficient, and if you build a dam to store water upstream, regulate the water flow, and then do rafting, it is still very basic.

After more than 20 days, Yang Zaixin's complexion has completely changed, dark and silent, but the whole person has become more energetic. The data was collected almost completely, and during this period of walking in the mountains and water, my physical fitness has improved greatly.

Next, we have to run to the county, city and provincial capital to see if we can get something.
