12. Eighteen bends in mountain roads
After lunch, we got back on the bus and headed for our next destination, Huangshan. The car galloped on the narrow mountain road that spiraled upward, the driver's skills and courage were superb, and he did not even slow down when he turned the intersection, and there were bursts of screams from time to time in the carriage. Lele was so nervous that she didn't dare to look out the window, but she just grabbed my arm tightly with both hands, and the pain made me grin.
I don't know how long it took, but the bus finally stopped in front of the gate of Huangshan. Said is the gate is actually the mountain gate of the Yellow Mountain, the Yellow Mountain is divided into two parts of the front mountain and the back mountain, listen to the tour guide, the front mountain is dangerous, the back mountain is quiet, our tour route is the same as most of the other tour groups, from the front mountain, the back mountain down.
The bus couldn't go any further, so we had to follow the guide and walk all the way to the Huangshan Hotel. In front of us is the Ciguang Pavilion cable car station, probably because we arrived late, and the queue at the entrance of the ropeway is already long. The tour guide handed out the lift tickets to us in turn, and asked us to line up on our own and wait for the climb to reassemble. Standing in front of us was a little girl, chubby and very cute, and I couldn't help but crouch down and squeeze her fat little face hard. Haozi didn't know what to whisper to Xiaofei with a wicked smile, and Xiaofei was so ashamed that her face was crimson, and she gave Haozi a pink fist on the back......
After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally our turn to get on the cable car, and in addition to our group of four, there were two strange girls on the car. Except for Haozi, it seems that everyone has a fear of heights, and as the cable car slowly squirms upward, I hear the desperate screams of several girls along the way. I'm afraid of heights, but when I look out from the cable car, the scenery is so beautiful, it's like a cloud. The surrounding mountains are littered with remnants of uneven size, as if they were a rare ink landscape painting.
When I got off the ropeway, I found that there were a little snowflakes floating in the sky. The wish came true, Lele couldn't help but happily shake off his gloves and stretched out his palm, the snowflakes gradually melted in the palm of his hand, leaving only a wisp of steam slowly rising......
After the whole group gathered, the tour guide led us towards the first scenic spot of Huangshan - Yuping Peak.
The famous "Yuping Reclining Buddha" is here, and further up is the Yuping Tower. Speaking of Yuping Tower, there may not be many people who know, but as long as it mentions the welcome pine, it is really known to everyone. Without waiting for the tour guide to explain, we couldn't wait to rush to the welcome pine. There was still a long way to go, and I was already in sight with black heads, let alone near the Welcome Pine.
These two girls who have no interest are very excited when they see the welcome pine, and they drag me and Haozi to squeeze into the crowd.
Isn't it just a tree?
I finally approached the welcome pine, and as soon as I finished taking a photo for Lele, I saw Haozi squeezing to my side and panting and asked, "Bei Zhu, do you want to shoot?"
In order to show my unique taste, I resolutely shook my head: "Don't shoot!"
"Then let's take a photo with Xiaofei!" Haozi smiled and handed over the camera.
It was too late to regret it, so I had no choice but to take the camera. The requirements of the small couple are quite high, one horizontally and one vertically, and if the shooting is not good, I have to do it again, and it took more than ten minutes to complete the task. When I turned around, I found that Lele was waving at me not far away, and I hurriedly stumbled out of the crowd and ran over, it turned out that there was another beautiful scenery here - Huangshan Lianxin Lock.
I heard the staff next to me say that after locking the heart lock, the unlocking key must be thrown into the deep valley next to it, so that the key will never be found, so that the heart lock can be locked together forever, and the hearts of two people will never be separated. Looking around, I saw that the iron chain was densely packed with rusty locks of different sizes, and no one could tell when the first pair of locks had been there, and I couldn't count how many pairs of locks there were.
After being slaughtered by the locals, I spent dozens of oceans to buy a pair of small copper locks with our names engraved on them from the staff. Then solemnly walked back to the chain, and together with Lele, the small copper lock, which can be seen everywhere under the mountain, and is estimated to be only one or two yuan, is firmly tied together.
Lele held the key in his hand, folded his hands with a reverent face, and muttered words in his mouth for a long time, and then threw the key off the cliff very hard. After the key made a beautiful arc in the air, it was no longer visible.
Continuing along the mountain road from Yuping to Tianhai, we saw the send-off pine, the wangke pine and the futon pine. Haozi and Xiaofei had amazing physical strength and left us behind early, but it was more pleasant to walk slowly in the snow like this, and we held the tea eggs we bought on the side of the road for two yuan, and ate comfortably while walking.
After a snowfall just now, Lotus Peak is now completely covered in snow and ice, making the rugged trail even more treacherous. To be on the safe side, each of us bought a pair of skates at the foot of the mountain. Skates are actually a pair of simple shoe covers with crampons underneath. When walking on skates, crampons grip the ice strongly, making it difficult for people to slip.
Spare us, God!
For me and Lele, who have a fear of heights, this journey is simply torture. It is surrounded by bottomless cliffs, and a narrow mountain road is crowded with tourists climbing the mountain. The road was slippery in the snow, and we used our hands and feet together, and we didn't dare to look to the side with our waists, but the team in front of us slowly squirmed upward, and the image was really embarrassing.
I don't know how I climbed this mountain road, and I admire that I can actually go up to the top of Lotus Peak. The small hilltop platform was crowded with tourists taking pictures, and there was not even a space to turn around. Beside it was the abyss, and I nervously clutched the stone tablet engraved with the altitude, refusing to let go for a long time.
"Beizi Pig, look!" I looked up in the direction of Lele's finger, and found that the opposite side was Tiandu Peak. Today, I happened to meet the closure of Tiandu Peak, so the famous carp back was not seen this time.
The sky was so blue that it seemed impossible to dissolve, and it was a miracle to be in this mist. For a moment, we were all shocked by this beautiful picture!"It's so beautiful!" I forgot about the tourists around me, I forgot about the fear of heights, and only the most beautiful music and the beautiful mountain scenery were left in my eyes, and the two beautiful scenery complemented each other, and the language once again showed its paleness. The two of them leaned close together, and my arms naturally wrapped around Lele's shoulders. That look seemed to have been waiting for a thousand years, just to be weathered and eroded at this moment. Let everything be eternal......
After climbing the Lotus Peak, my feet trembled uncontrollably, and my body felt that it no longer belonged to me. Lele is no better, the two thin lips are not known whether they are frozen or frightened, and they have already turned blue and purple.
On the platform where we were resting halfway up the mountain, we met with Haozi and Xiaofei. After waiting for a while, the tour guide raised the flag and stood on the platform, pointed to the mountain road in front of him and said to everyone, "There are two roads on the back of the fish in front, one is the road to promotion and fortune, twisting and turning, long and flat; ”
After a short rest, the thighs that had just trembled seemed to be fine now, so I encouraged Haozi to go to the Peach Blossom Fortune Road together, but Haozi and the two beauties were probably afraid of the mountain road, and they unanimously chose the road to promotion and fortune, the minority obeyed the majority, no way, I had to be forced by them to walk on the road to promotion and fortune. After walking through the back of the fish and resting for half an hour, we began to move towards the end of the day, Guangmingding.
Guangming Ding is 1860 above sea level, the second highest peak of Yellow Mountain, a stone tablet on the top, three big characters on the book Guangming Ding. Looking at this stone plaque, I think of the scene when Zhang Wuji fought against the six major sects in this year, it was really a beautiful scenery.
