Section 1 The third time to the end of the South Mountain Meadow
Today is my third visit to Zhongnanshan Meadow. Three times plus today, two times with Jin Ling, and once when I met her in the money factory. The first two times there was a small situation on the way, and I also had scruples in my heart. So I didn't go back for two years.
But now if you want to see the blue sky, you can only go to the high-altitude mountains. In addition, in recent months, there have been few sunny skies, and most of them have been traversed in dense fog. Even the last time I went to Dongliang, it was cloudy and snowy. Therefore, I want to try my luck this week, I can't see the blue sky, and I yearn for the snow.
All the way to the gate of the scenic spot, I knew that this place had changed again. Unlike the last time, the car was parked at the gate of the Huamenlou Scenic Area, but another gatehouse was built four kilometers away from the Huamenlou. Tourists and climbers have no choice but to take their shuttle buses to the money factory. That's something I don't want to do. It is only an hour and a half from the money factory to the meadow of Zhongnan Mountain, and the time to come down is even shorter. But if I want to walk four kilometers of cement road to Huamenlou, I am even more reluctant. I had to go up in the car with the team, and when we discussed it, we decided to abandon the car, and Jin Ling and I walked to Huamen Tower and took the car again.
There are too few shuttle buses in the scenic area, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth, so we had to be invited to the hotel on the side to wait for the bus. The exterior of this hotel is an antique building, and the level of luxury is not in harmony with the location. I really don't understand who stays here in such a deep mountain.
The long wait didn't make me feel bored, because the sun in the mountains was so good today. It makes us feel at home after a long absence from the sunshine in the city. So, all the staff basked in the sun at the entrance of the hotel. It seems that it is a blessing to bask in the sun without going up the mountain today.
Finally, I waited for the car at 11 o'clock. Everyone scrambled to get into the car, and my companion and I also got into the two cars. After the car marched to Huamen Tower, I regretted not being with Jin Ling, otherwise it would have been more interesting for the two of us to get out of the car and climb the mountain. This is the route we have been on the first two times, walking on the path of the Qinchu Ancient Road, it is still very easy to walk up the mountain. Now I have to take a car all the way to the money factory. After getting out of the car, my companion and I did not pause and immediately headed for the meadow. More teammates started lunch at the money factory.
On the mountain road leading to the meadow, there is a thick layer of snow in the shade, which is really exciting. The altitude is high, the temperature is low, and the roads are full of thick ice. It was very slippery, but everyone was happy. That's what winter should be. All the way to the first observation deck, in the bright sun, the money factory in the distance can be seen clearly. You can see how good the visibility is today.
When I walked to the arrow bamboo forest, I saw that the sky above the meadow was blue. That kind of blue, so blue that it makes people feel that the ancients must have used the blue here as the standard when defining the word 'azure'. The blue is bright, the blue is pure, and the blue is exciting.
At this time, I saw the long beam of the meadow of Zhongnan Mountain from a distance, like a line perfectly drawn in the blue sky, which made people unable to distinguish whether the meadow was on the earth or in the sky, just like the dividing line between heaven and earth, it was so beautiful that it was magnificent! It was very attractive! It was so beautiful that we under the meadow couldn't wait to rush to the top!
The meadow today has snow that resembles the shade of flowers, floating on the withered yellow grass one by one. It's not thick, but it's hard, and it's hard to walk up. The snow is also very meaningful, when I lean down, whether it's looking down or up. The thin snow blocks sandwiched between the grass are like large ice flowers, blooming on the meadow, shining brightly in the bright sun, very beautiful!
Standing on the stone monument at the highest point of Zhongnan Mountain, looking around, in addition to the heroism of the small mountains, it is the joy of joy and earth. This excitement comes from the fact that today's sky is so blue that it has become the most beautiful blue, so blue that it makes me feel like I have arrived in a dream place under the severe haze, like in a dream.
The 'South Grass and North Wood' of Zhongnan Mountain Meadow is the most standard, and the path that runs through the entire beam top is a precise dividing line, telling everyone about the magic of nature. It's still the closest road to heaven. Then, at this moment, we are the closest people to heaven on the meadow. When I left the highest point of the meadow and descended along the beam path to the lowest point to look back at the top of the mountain, I was immediately shocked by what I saw. I saw the path on the beam soaring up to the top of the mountain. In the sunlight under the blue sky, the grass on the flat and clean mountain top is yellow and snow-white shining, and the shadows of the climbers on it are in the blue sky. And the launch tower on the top of the mountain makes them exactly like in a sci-fi space movie, the scene is grand and dreamy.
Look at them and think that you were in that place when you first arrived, and the people who walked here at that time should have felt the same way about us. This is the climber I met on this mountaintop path, all of them were tired and panting, with smiles on their faces and shining eyes walking towards the top of the mountain. We are even more so, standing at the fork in the road leading to Cuihua Mountain, looking at the big meadow with grass in the south and trees in the north, beautiful, atmospheric, spectacular and dreamy, and I feel very lucky to be in it and share such a magnificent moment.
On the way back, we went to another observation deck that we hadn't found twice. On the way there, I saw a lot of big rhododendron trees, and I decided to come and watch and share when the azaleas bloom next year!
At the money factory, Jin Ling and I decided to hike down the mountain. Otherwise, the amount of exercise today is too little, and I haven't been addicted to climbing!
The mountains and forests are behind and the sight is open. We didn't miss every forest path down the mountain. I learned the lesson of the first two times I was accidentally bruised, and I went down the mountain with special caution. Finally, it was the first time to walk out of Huamen Tower peacefully, and it ended today's happy mountain climbing!
Today, I once again re-walked the road of the poet Taibai's immortal tour, and I learned to play the poet and immortal again with high spirits, but I finally did not realize the wonderful pen of the great writer. It seems that next time I go, I won't drink thick wine. Hang a pot of Taibai wine, drink a wobbly drink on the Taibai decanting stone, and then go up to the meadow that enters the clouds, maybe you can write this strange and witty sentence that you like. In this way, it will soothe my heart of worship every time I pass by Li Bai's decanting stone.
Therefore, Jungnam Mountain Meadow is destined for me to come again!
