Section 16 All wishes come true and go to Yanbian
Last year, when I was traveling in XJ, I decided to go to Changbai Mountain this year. At that time, I longed for the way of life of the Korean cluster in Yanbian. Now the domestic northern tour is this place, and it still makes my heart move. I don't understand why I don't like to travel to the south, it's probably because I don't like a lot of water, and it has something to do with my motion sickness. However, when it came to going last year, it was not Changbai Mountain Tianchi that I was yearning for. This is related to the fact that I climb mountains all year round. In addition, I went to Tianshan Tianchi last year, and what I saw didn't excite me. Therefore, there is no strong interest in Tianchi.
However, after deciding to go to Changchun this year, Changbai Mountain Tianchi was my first choice. Especially after seeing other people's articles about Changbai Mountain Tianchi on the Internet, I became excited. The excitement comes from the article that the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain is not necessarily seen when you reach the edge of the Tianchi, it is completely determined by the weather. The article also writes that the author met several tourists who said that they had not seen Tianchi three times. And the author felt lucky and happy because he saw it. His articles are illustrated. It made me yearn for Changbai Mountain Tianchi from yearning to urgency. "Urgency" may have something to do with my naivety, always trying to test my luck.
I saw on the Internet that there is a long way to go from Changchun to Tianchi, which is really unbearable for me who is motion sick. Therefore, after repeated arguments, I decided to look at Tianchi from the western slope. All the information on the Internet proves that Xipo is the most beautiful to see Tianchi, so I want to see the most beautiful.
This is also the first time to travel seriously. Contact your local tour operator a week in advance. Everything is providential, and it is precisely because I contacted in advance that I knew that Xipo looked at Tianchi, and I sent it once a week on Saturday. When I learned the news, the ticket had been booked in advance, and it happened to be booked at 5 p.m. on Friday to Changchun Airport.
Everything is in order, just wait for the weather to be completed. I was still a little uneasy and worried that the weather would change.
When he went to the airport with the teacher of Jiaotong University, he said that he had been there three years ago, and he had seen both the north and west slopes. What he said was the same as what I read on the Internet, which was that the weather was very important, and it was sunny at the bottom of the mountain, not necessarily on the mountain. If it becomes cloudy, you won't be able to see it.
Hearing him say this, I was even more anxious. At the same time, I secretly thought that if the day after tomorrow changed when I arrived at Tianchi on Sunday, then I also decided to go up from the north slope again, in order to leave no regrets. If you can't see both slopes, it means that I have no fate with Changbai Mountain Tianchi.
Another point is that after listening to Mr. Wang's lecture, I decided that I might not be able to see it. First, it has recently been the rainy season in Changbai Mountain. The second is that when I went to Vladivostok the year before last, I gave up going to North Korea after listening to his words and chose to go to Vladivostok. Because he said, "You must go to Vladivostok, we went after the meeting last year, and the sea is so beautiful, and the white clouds are all in the sea." "When I heard him say this, I think my eyes should be bright, full of blue sky and white clouds, I like this sea and sky too much.
As a result, we were in Vladivostok for six days, and the sky was cloudy, and the cable-stayed bridge with thick fog was not visible. So, when I heard that he saw Tianchi from the north slope and the west slope, I was a little discouraged. Subconsciously think, he sees it, I must not see it.
Nervous, I arrived at Changchun Longjia Airport at seven o'clock in the evening. On the plane, I saw that the airport was far away from Changchun City, so I hurriedly signed up after getting off the plane. At this time, the tour guide who had been in contact with him said that it was too late to report. This makes me anxious, so hurry up and say more good things. Finally told me I could report it. When I asked to leave me a front seat, she decisively refused. Said that they are ranked here according to the morning and evening of the payment. I'm the last to pay, so I'll have to sit at the back.
There is no room for negotiation at all, and it really gave me a taste of the straightforwardness of the Northeast people. The result is a mixed blessing for me. It's a seven-hour drive, and I probably didn't have anything to sit down with. I just hope to try my luck in the car tomorrow.
In the evening, I received a call from the tour guide of Changbai Mountain Tianchi on the western slope. I brought up the issue of motion sickness again, and the other party said: No problem, there is a guide seat in the first row, and there is a seat, and you will sit next to me.
Hey, this is solved?! I really appreciate the straightforwardness of the Northeast people again! This little beautiful tour guide named Qi Qi is really an angel sent by God on this trip to Changbai Mountain. She brought me the greatest happiness in the two days, and we got along happily so that the people in the car were jealous, and made me, the only outsider in the car, have the most comfortable and friendly atmosphere.
Here, thank you Qi Qi!
After staying at the Latour Morgan Hotel, I decided to explore the meeting point on Saturday first. Tomorrow's meeting time is too early, it's 5 o'clock in the morning. When I asked in the hotel lobby, I knew that it was on the People's Avenue where the hotel where we stayed went straight down, and it took 40 minutes to walk and 10 minutes by taxi.
We walked for half an hour and then inquired about passers-by and said there were still forty minutes left. It's too far, what time do you have to wake up? Decide to wake up tomorrow at four o'clock, try your luck. Getting up at four o'clock is really difficult for me, who gets up at half past seven all year round. I can't take care of it so much now, it's a big deal to sleep all the way in the car and make up for a little bit.
I basically didn't fall asleep that night, and woke up at half past three. Walk out of the hotel at 10:10 a.m. I found that the long spring was really early, and the streets were like daytime. I just didn't see the car or the people. We had just walked across the road when we saw a taxi coming on the empty street and hurriedly waved. The car stopped in front of me and saw a person sitting in the car. When the driver learned where I went, he asked, "You are a place, can you pull her?" and the other party smiled and said, "Of course." I'm also out to play.
Oh, I'm so lucky! It's a good start, and I'm in a good mood.
Eight minutes to the meeting point. Oh, what an eye-opener! I saw a lot of people in the square, a lot of cars, a lot of breakfast, just like outside the Xi'an Stadium on the weekend, all outdoor teams. The only difference is that they are not dressed like climbing mountains, they are all leisure tours. One of the biggest differences is that they all start at five o'clock.
I really don't understand why Changchun people get up so early?
I met Qi Qi's little beautiful tour guide and felt good about each other. I sat in the first row as I wished, thanks to the little beauty for the luck she brought me!
Depart at 10:10 a.m. and head to the Wangswan Scenic Area on the 18th slope.
