Section 3 The second crossing of one of the Taibai Mountains
One of the second north-south crosses of Taibai Mountain
The most beautiful season is here again
At 7 o'clock in the morning on the 20th, I got on time at the south gate of the school. Before the car reached the highway, there was a light raindrop. The further westward you go, the bigger and smaller the raindrops, and finally stops when you get close to County M. The weather was exactly the same as last year. With last year's experience, plus this time the clothes are more professional than the last time, and it's full of Archaeopteryx from the inside out. So, we decided to leave the raincoat in the car and leave it alone. A little more weight is difficult. My bag is much heavier than last year. Last year, I spent very little money (100) and asked the team leader to help me cook the stove and fruit food. This time, my companion carried the stove, and I carried the pot. Eat on their backs. We both love to eat, so her bag is heavier than mine.
The road is smooth, half past eight to the entrance of Taibai Mountain Scenic Area. Seeing that the sky was clear here, I suddenly felt that this time it was good luck again. At this time, I received a call from home saying that it was raining heavily in the city, and I was naïve and happy when I heard it. Stop your companions to take pictures separately. I want to send a WeChat message to congratulate myself on good luck. At the same time, I want to show off. As a result, when I was about to leave the mountain the next day, I found that this WeChat message was not sent. Ha ha. It seems that it is better to keep a low profile in doing things.
On the way from the scenic spot to the cable car, when the Dragon Boat Festival came last year, there was no trace of the snow-white rhododendrons all over the mountain, as if Taibai Mountain had never been opened. Today is the same Dragon Boat Festival as last year, the mountains are still the same, but the scenery is different. This is because this year's Dragon Boat Festival is 20 days later than last year. From this point of view, the Gregorian calendar is still more rigorous.
When I asked the driver of the shuttle bus, he said that it had all withered a week ago. Although I estimated it when I came, I still regretted it after I was really sure that there was none. The white azaleas of Taibai Mountain are so beautiful, with big flowers and dense flowers. When the flowers bloom, the mountains are full of greenery, and the flowers are like snow in the distance, and the flowers are all over the mountains. At that time, I thought that the name of Taibai Mountain had its ingredients. Moreover, when I came last year, I didn't know that there was a white rhododendron forest in Taibai Mountain. So I was overjoyed when I saw it.
With no blooming azaleas in sight today, this crossing would not be perfect.
Frustrated, we took the cable car up. The last welcome scene in the sea of flowers is gone. As the cable car ascended, I saw the winding road in a zigzag and V-shaped way up the mountain, and I felt very spectacular, just like the last time, shining through the trunk glass.
Oh, I saw a purple rhododendron in full bloom, and the purple flowers bloomed into a tree, which was very beautiful. I continued to watch excitedly. More purple flowers are like shyness, hidden in the green, bright and charming. I didn't expect to see a purple cuckoo on the way to the cable car. Last year, there wasn't a single one, it was all white. Today, if there are flowers, they are all purple. After reading it, I carefully thought, will the dwarf purple rhododendrons I saw all over the mountains and fields when I crossed last time also reach the day of full bloom?
The reason why I thought carefully was that I found a pattern: the flowering period of the dwarf branch and small leaf purple rhododendron is late, basically after the tall rhododendron tree has flowered. Think, that is, think in a flash. I feel that the sea here is too high, and even if it is opened, it will be like the one on Ao Mountain, which is dehydrated and dried flowers. Like an old lady flower, I feel sad to watch.
I got off the cable car and began to advance towards the first target, Jusendai. From the time we started to climb the steps, we saw the dwarf purple rhododendrons in bloom in the bushes by the roadside, and the flowers were bright and showy. It was another accident. Last time, I didn't see a small-leaved dwarf branch purple rhododendron here at all. Some of them are all dwarf-branched, large-leaved, and large pink flowers. This sudden encounter with the flowers made me walk down the steps to the flowers from time to time, and I couldn't stop patting happily.
I was excited and arrived at Jusendai. Today we came relatively early, and it was not like last year when there were many people taking pictures. I love the way my companion photographed me last year. Therefore, imitating the way it used to be, the result was too far from the result. The main reason is that the weather is too cloudy.
I was posing happily when I suddenly heard a "cloud", and I shouted "Hey" without even seeing anyone. My companion was puzzled and I replied. I smiled and said, "That's right, I'm standing so high." Those who call me must know me.
Sure enough, it was the leader of the outdoor group, that is, the outdoor team we contacted before. After making sure that he had booked a bed for the two of us tonight, my heart began to feel at ease. You don't have to rush to the sea of uncles to grab a bed. You can continue to have fun.
Get off Jusendai and continue to climb the stairs. The heavy bag made me sigh again when I looked at the mountain road and decided not to go. In other words, I didn't go up to the world twice on my trip. The first time was when the team leader didn't take us there, I don't know how far it is. Today I gave up on my own. The bag is heavy, and neither of us can walk. We were going to hire someone to help us both get it, but no one was making any of our money. I had to pass through the mountainside on one side. Last year's small dirt road here has been built with wooden steps this year, making it easier to walk.
Walk through the mountainside to the trail that leads to the reserve. In front of us are the low-branched purple rhododendrons that bloom all over the slopes of the mountains, and the flowers bloom from the roadside to the top of the mountain and from the roadside to the valley. It bloomed all over the mountains and became a sea of purple flowers, and it was like wearing a purple light veil, flying in the mountains. It's spectacular!
The elegant green leaves and purple flowers make the atmosphere warm and wonderful. Walking on the trail is passing through a sea of flowers. One step disturbed the flowers and brushed the corners of his trousers. Raise your foot again, and touch the flower branches. Hehe, that's wonderful. I smiled happily again and again, bent over, pounced on the sea of flowers again and again, hugged and kissed the vigorous, exquisite, and delicate flowers. It's so beautiful! The climbers who passed by on the beam all smiled and sighed: It's so beautiful!
It's so beautiful! At this time, the weather is overcast, and a faint mist is drifting. The purple flowers on the mountain were covered with a thin white veil again, and they became delicate girls, and suddenly became graceful and mysterious. It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful that I just want to go all the way and see the mountains full of purple azaleas!
Facing the sea of purple flowers, I also wondered, I had never seen such a dense and small-leaved rhododendron tree here last year. I didn't pay attention to this inconspicuous dwarf tree, but it was newly planted in the reserve this year. In short, so many purple rhododendron trees, so lush, so green and colorful, really shocked me.
Now the sea of purple flowers has become the protagonist on Taibai Mountain. Originally, when I arrived at such a sea, there were no more trees. However, on this section of the hill today, the only tree, the alpine purple rhododendron, stubbornly clings to the hillside and proudly guards and decorates. It has made the originally tough Taibai Mountain have a poetic beauty! It is also a no-man's land with fireworks in the world. It's more like the most beautiful home for us who love it, so that we can be in the most beautiful garden when we come back. We walk happily here, and let our souls fly poetically here.
Taibai Mountain is so beautiful! If you don't see it with your own eyes, who would have believed that there is a sea of purple flowers on the top of this high mountain with a sea of stones! It is more like wearing a luxurious and beautiful costume! It is amazing! Nature is amazing. Mount Taibai is so beautiful.
The sea of flowers flutters with the rise of the sea, surging all the way, all the way. The purple azaleas blooming in the sea of stones moved me to tears. Moved by their tenacity, moved by their self-confidence, moved by their unyielding, moved by their atmosphere, and moved them to live a noble and delicate life. To survive in such a harsh environment, they want to bloom, and the petals must bloom with the most beautiful smiling faces, as if they are smiling! It is more like swearing: The most beautiful time has come! I want to bloom brilliantly in one season! The most beautiful one season!
Move. Pay tribute to the purple azaleas that bloom in the cracks of the stone sea.
Swimming in the sea of flowers came to the Dawengong Temple, where the flowers are still blooming, embellishing the Taibai Mountain, which is a dense fog, with dazzling brilliance. Walking here, it is 3,568 meters above sea level. The extremely cloudy weather makes the temperature very low, and the surrounding area is even more foggy, and the air is so humid that the hair is soaked through the fog.
We didn't stay long and continued to go up. Here's the final dial for today. The last time I walked here, my legs were weak and I didn't have the strength, so I kept sitting down to rest. Based on my last experience, I told my companion that a lot of people were uncomfortable with this section of the height, and now that the fog is so thick, the oxygen will be even more insufficient. So don't talk and move slowly.
I walked ahead. At this time, the fog is thicker, and the shadows are full of dwarf purple azaleas. And I can't share the beauty of the flowers anymore. I had no choice but to pay tribute to this flower that bloomed on the highest sea in my heart! When I walked to the place where I saw the sea of clouds last time, this time it was all thick fog. Visibility is now very low, and no one can be seen or heard from about ten meters away. The fog not only obscured the view, but also created a barrier to block out the sound. At this time, it is most comfortable to look down at the road.
As I walked, my body began to flutter a little, and I quickly stopped to drink glucose. Then continue to walk along the road to the Great Uncle. Fortunately, there is only one road here, and it is all the way forward with a stuffy head.
Finally, at half past five in the afternoon, I found that there was water next to it. It turns out that the sea has arrived!
The last time I visited, the sky was blue and white. When I turned a far corner in front of me, I saw the sea of uncles. At that time, the Great Sea, which was half sea water and half ice, was shockingly beautiful. I was so shocked that I just looked at it and bent down and exclaimed: It's so beautiful!
This time, the sea was no longer visible in the dense fog, and he couldn't see it all when he approached the lake.
I stopped looking, and hurried to find where I was staying tonight. Because, I'm very cold right now. Some signs of hypothermia. This is the result of my journey from Dawengong Temple to Daye Hai, and I kept stopping in extremely low temperatures to wait for my companions. This also blames me for not putting on the down jacket I brought with me in time.
Found a bed. Thanks to this team leader friend for booking a chase shop for us. Because the traveler who arrived at the same time as me no longer has a bed in the room. For the same price, you can only live in a big tent for 20 people!
Tonight, although it is still four people sleeping in three beds, the effect is worse than last year, more like a refugee camp. One is that we live in the lower bunk today. The second is that a large number of students have been arranged in our room. They didn't have a bed, so they sat at the head of the bed. Then the lights were turned off, and some of them slept quietly on our feet. As a result, my legs couldn't be straightened, which was very uncomfortable. It is also because of them that the temperature of the room is like a heater, so hot that you sweat without covering the quilt. This is the same as last time.
It's hard, but it's bearable. Compared with those who sit on the floor and on the edge of the bed, our treatment is as they say: now there is a bed, which is five-star treatment.
With such treatment, I barely slept that night.
