The recent weather in Xi'an, as ridiculed in the circle of friends: "We are passing through the season, yesterday it was hot and stupid, today it is freezing, and the alternation of hot and cold is crazy." "From the middle of April, it's really summer all at once, it's 32 degrees, and it's hot in a skirt. By this Thursday in mid-May it was different, it rained and began to cool down strongly, dropping 15 degrees in two days. On Saturday, it rained heavily and the wind squally, and the temperature was only 10 degrees Celsius, and it was completely winter, so cold that I couldn't say that I couldn't go out.

Happily, the weather forecast is sunny for Sunday. I thought in my heart that it had rained so hard, and tomorrow the rain would be clear, and there would definitely be a sea of clouds in the meadow. It is also speculated that it is cold in the city until winter. Then, the temperature in the mountains will be lower, and it may snow in the high-altitude watershed of the Qinling Mountains. I was happy to think about it, and I was looking forward to seeing a snow in the summer in mid-May. So, before the rain stopped in the morning, I reported for tomorrow's climb. It's really on the basis of science, betting on Sunday's weather and luck.

I saw the news in anticipation, and someone photographed the snowfall at the watershed on Saturday afternoon. According to the news, many people estimated that it would snow on the watershed, and they rushed over in the afternoon in the heavy rain, and cars were parked everywhere on the watershed road to watch the snow. This reminds me of the Wusong Wonder at the end of October last year, when I came across the watershed. At that time, there were also a lot of cars parked on the road. There were many spectators carrying "long guns and short cannons" and were shooting excitedly. Seeing them come prepared made me envious. I also sighed that I was lucky to encounter the most beautiful Wusong wonder. It's just not as professional and persistent as they are.

Now that I've seen the news, I'm really excited, and I'm sure I'll see snow tomorrow. Hesitant to prepare gear at night. The current weather conditions are very hot as long as you look at them. However, it is snowing again on the mountain, and I don't know if the temperature will rise all of a sudden. To be on the safe side, I was going to continue to wear the autumn pants that I had been wearing for the past two days, and I also took out the thick clawed velvet jacket I wore in winter.

As a result, when I put on my shoes and was about to leave in the morning, I decided to take off my autumn pants and change into a thin claw velvet jacket. Because, the weather forecast on the mobile phone shows that the temperature is up to 28 degrees today, and the snow on the mountains may have melted in such weather. Put it on and take it off, take it off and put it on and put it on, so tossed, I haven't arrived before the car comes.

Today's weather after going out is not a forecast, it is completely accurate. The sky is clear, the air is clean, and the sun is shining brightly early in the morning. In the car, I saw that everyone was not wearing thin clothes, and some were wearing down jackets. Many people regret over-equipping and wearing too thick. However, "regretting" wearing too thick is only the feeling of being in the car. After getting off the bus at the watershed, the cold was so cold that everyone shrunk their necks, and hurried up the mountain into the forest to avoid the wind.

At that time, when the car was still driving on the mountain road, they saw the snow on the top of Bald Mountain, which was 2,500 meters above sea level, and everyone shouted excitedly. When we walked into the mountain, we just started to climb the mountain and saw the snow all over the mountain, which was so beautiful that everyone smiled. At this time, the forest where many teams arrived, suddenly there was jubilation and joy!

I saw the lush mountains and forests covered with snow, white and verdant embracing each other, which was extremely enchanting. The early-blooming flowers in the mountains are covered with holy gauze skirts, and the grass is also hidden under the white snow quilt, and sometimes there are naughty drills out of the delicate and refreshing appearance. The leaves are covered with thick snow, hanging one by one, and at this time, whether it is green or purple-red, it is beautiful into flowers, which is the perfect combination of snowflakes and leaves, realizing the passage of the seasons. There are also delicate rhododendrons, which are thickly "embraced" by the white ice and snow, and become a frozen beauty, I don't know whether they are shy or excited, the pink petals are more colorful, delicate, and have become a real "flower in the west", and they have become loved by everyone, and they have won cheers when they see it.

I have been coming to Qinling in the middle of May for six consecutive years to see the rhododendrons, at this time of the year, the mountains are full of alpine azaleas, and the forest has bloomed into a flower roof, which is spectacular and beautiful. Today, it is the season when the alpine rhododendrons are in full bloom, and in May, the snow is hugging the branches. It is difficult to find the fragrance of "flowers in the west" in the rhododendron forest, almost all of them are blown off by the wind and heavy snow, and the petals are also under the snow "quilt", and the flowers are gone. Therefore, in order to find the "beauty", everyone in the snow-covered forest, thousands of people look for her, and they can always be in the "thousands of degrees", fortunately by the snow will be liked by the "flowers in the west".

Heavy snow meets azaleas that bloom in May and is rare. I really don't know if it was winter that failed the snow, or if the snow betrayed the winter, the snow was supposed to be with the winter, but now it is holding hands with the summer. It is precisely because of the affectionate ice and snow that hugs tightly, so that the flowers remain on the branches, and we did not miss this year's azalea bloom. After a few, I found the precious.

Such a season is not only rare to see flowers and plants, but also rare for us. It was also the first time I walked into the icy mountains and forests in the summer to share the jade trees and flowers of the Great Qinling Mountains, wrapped in silver. Such a beautiful scenery is rare to see in the city even in winter, and it rarely snows heavily in Xi'an's winter. It's really nature's creation that allows us to have such a different experience.

Passing through the alpine rhododendron forest, continuing upward, the snow has been more than ten centimeters thick, and it is also purer and whiter, white like fat jade, and the long line of snow is moving forward, creating a wave-like snow track. The temperature is also lower, and there are long ice hangs everywhere in the forest. The trees on the edge of the cliff are covered with fog, all of them have become white ice branches and jade leaves, especially flower branches, and under the blue sky, they have become the most beautiful snow trees blooming, which is amazing. At the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2,500 meters, "Chaotianchang", it is completely icy and snowy. Since this is the highest point of the mountain, there is no forest of large trees facing the sun, only low forests of arrows and bamboos and rattans. Strong winds and the temperature difference between day and night at the top of the mountain create a unique scenery on the summit. We saw that the snow on the top of the mountain was thick, and the vegetation and branches were snowless, all covered in thick ice, like frozen rain (this is not the rain condensing, but the masterpiece of the sudden drop in temperature when the snow melts). Just as the scorching sun was in the sky at this time, but it was so cold that everyone's hands didn't listen to the call), like wearing an ice suit, it became a jade tree Qiongzhi, and the top of the mountain became an ice crystal garden. Walking through it, the sound of ice cubes is crisp and pleasant, just like the sound of nature. Ouch, that's wonderful!

Today's weather is very clear, the sun is dazzling, and the sky and the earth are shining. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the top of the mountain is shining and dazzling. Immersed in it, it was like walking into God's mysterious garden, and it was so beautiful that we were overwhelmed. It's like coming to a fairy tale world, making us children, young and old, cheering, laughing innocently, and becoming God's lovely dolls. What a blessing!

All of this is so beautiful, not only the rare scenery, but also our beautiful state of mind. While being shocked by the wonder of nature, I also sighed at my luck. Praise the beautiful scenery, and also praise my own longing and deep love for the Great Qinling Mountains, so that I did not miss the wonders. That is, my friends ridiculed me: "You have caught up with all the good things on the Qinling Mountains." "Haha, that's true!

And all this wonderful sharing, in addition to having a heart that loves nature, is also supported by a strong spirit. Just as "infinite scenery is at the dangerous peak", every time is a test of physical strength and perseverance. It's the same this time. Today is the first time in my seven years of climbing that my hiking boots have soaked in the middle of my hiking boots, and this is true for everyone. Because the snow is too thick, but it must be summer snow. By noon, it was all wet snow, and it was buzzing when you stepped on it. Not only did I soak in the wet snow that was deeper than the upper of my shoes for a day, but I also went down the mountain stream four times, and it was normal for my shoes to get wet.

It's all worth it. Because it's all nothing compared to what we've gained. This may be the charm of mountain climbing, and it is also where we yearn for it. Never get tired of it, always move forward. Love nature and let your body and mind walk with nature. Therefore, in the middle of May today, we stepped on the snow to come, walked through the snow mountains, fog songs, ice hangings, rain songs and other snow wonders, and luckily went to the beautiful ice and snow appointment of the Qinling Mountains! It's really the wonder of Qinling, I'm lucky!

After leaving Chaotian Field, he advanced towards the meadow. This section is a trek through the snow on one side of the forest and the back mountain. From forests to meadows, the snow is the thickest and whitest ever traversed today. Although so many people walked through the snow, the thick snow was still clean. Because we had walked such a long way in the snow, our shoes had already been wiped clean. Looking at the messy and solid footprints in the snow, my heart was filled with strength, and I felt that this experience of crossing was extraordinary.

This is probably the reason for the leeward and sunny side, the azaleas are more on the branches, the leaves are green and the flowers are pink, which is very beautiful. It's just that the flowers are freeze-dried and dehydrated. Walking to a gentle rhododendron forest, I saw that the snow was full of pink petals, which was very beautiful. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the tall rhododendron tree bloomed in the snow. This scene is really beautiful! The poetry and painting are all there, and the romance is extreme.

Walking out of the arrow bamboo forest, you will arrive at the alpine meadow. The snow is still very thick in some places on the meadow. This shows that this snow is very large. Because the meadows are unshaded and sunny, the snow is often thick in the forests of the mountains, and there is no trace of snow here. Today, it is like snow and shade, where there is snow, it is very thick, and what is not is the green and thick and soft meadow, which is full of vitality in the green and yellow.

It's rare that there are no strong winds on the meadow today. Therefore, many people in the team sit around arbitrarily and eat hot pot or dumplings. Unlike usual, when I came, I hid in the arrow bamboo forest to avoid the wind and eat, smelling the smell of food but not seeing anyone. Today's meadow is populated, and there is a joyful scene of "living and working in peace and contentment".

I had already eaten at Chaotianchang, and I began to work to generate income. Those alpine wild onions that emerge from the snow are so tempting, and they are absolutely unpolluted. I happily picked up the green onions, and after a while, the harvest was full, and I couldn't carry any more.

I came to the only big tree in the meadow. Every time you visit, be sure to take pictures of its majestic posture. Today's trunk is green, the branches have been topped out of the buds, the crown branches are like countless arms stretched upwards to greet the sky, full of vitality, full of vitality, is proudly telling us: and can withstand the ravages of winter, I still stand tenaciously in the meadow.

It's amazing, cheers for you, kudos to you!

Facing the big tree without a single snowflake, I was even more impressed and shocked by the magic of nature. I really admire God's ingenuity that year, making it a magical tree and snow, so beautiful that it has never been recreated. Today, under the trees is a sea of snow that is more than a foot thick, so white that it shines brightly. This tree is unique and has become a person who watches the sea.

How could I miss this holy sea of snow. So, I sprinkled joy on the snow, and I was so happy. Every time I come to this position, I am so happy that I dance with joy!

When you're satisfied, it's time to go down. Originally, the plan was to go down the mountain from Dongfogou, but today's snow was too thick and the road was too difficult to walk, so all the teams went down from Dongpinggou. I thought it was easier to walk here than Dongfogou, but in fact, it was not.

The two of us were the first to descend from here, and it was relatively easy to descend, and I heard that the back came down basically and slipped several times. The snow in Dongpinggou was too thick, and the temperature rose in the afternoon, and the snow was semi-melting, wet and slippery. Fortunately, there is no freezing ice, and it is safer to walk than in winter. From time to time, there are large fallen trees in the ditch, blocking the way. This is the first time I've encountered it in four years of walking here, and it shows how strong the wind was yesterday.

The torrent that flows down makes the mountain stream jubilant, and we need to wade through the cold water. Later, I saw the donkey friends who went to Niubeiliang that day, one after another with hiking shoes in their hands, wading forward, the scene was grand and unstoppable, and I couldn't stop laughing when I looked at the photos, and I sincerely admired them. However, the reason why they took off their shoes and crossed the river was because they encountered the river as soon as they went up the mountain, and their shoes were originally dry. We walked in the wet snow for too long and got our shoes wet, so we didn't have to take them off when we got here.

That's the charm of mountain climbing. Therefore, whether they are crossing the river barefoot, or wearing shoes and water, we are all happy and happy in the photo. I feel that the scenery I saw today is the best, and it is worth the trip, and I am full of pride!
