Section 17 Bald Mountain to see the wonders of Wusong
Originally, he and Jin Ling were going to Nanwutai this week, but after setting off in the morning, they decided to go to Bald Mountain. Recently, the smog in the city has been too heavy, and it is best to go to the bald mountain at high altitude to see the blue sky. In addition, although the sea of clouds in Nanwutai is very attractive to me, it is a leisure route, so I can't take a fancy to it. Although this winter is almost exclusively in the watershed, the stunning scenery at high altitude is the best choice for winter climbing. Therefore, I told Jin Ling in the car that next year I would simply arrange a table, four times a month, three places on this side of the watershed, plus Dongliang, just four places, so that I don't have to worry about where to climb the mountain every week. The companion laughed.
When I went to the parking lot of the chicken nest farmhouse, I saw that there were many cars that arrived early, and it seemed that there were a lot of people who had been thinking about us.
I was in a good state today, and I walked all the way to the arrow bamboo forest under the bald hillside before resting for a while. Walk to this position in the past and take at least two breaks. Because of the cold weather, the road was full of thick dark ice from the beginning of the mountain, and the road surface was frozen hard and not very slippery. We didn't wear crampons, so we walked carefully all the way, and the steps were slow, so people were not too tired. When I got to the area below the arrow bamboo forest, where the mud was thin all year round, I put on crampons. This section has become an ice road, and I am afraid to step on it in crampons.
Another reason why we walked fast was that halfway up the mountain, we saw that the forest on the top of the mountain was white, and it must have been foggy. Watching the fog on the mountain in winter can be said to be the most attractive to mountain climbers. However, now that the sun is shining, I am worried that when we reach the top of the mountain, the fog will be gone, so there is no rest along the way, and we have overtaken many people.
In addition, we have been to Bald Mountain many times, many times in the blue sky and white clouds at the bottom of the mountain, and when we reach the bottom of the mountain, it begins to be thick with fog, and often we can't see anything on the big meadow on the top of the mountain. However, when you leave the top of the mountain and go down, you can see the blue sky and white clouds on the top of the mountain again. This is not because the sky is overcast, but because the altitude is too high, the white clouds that we see on the mountainside, when we reach the top of the mountain, we are in the white clouds, so the fog will swirl around, and we can't see anything. I once heard a mountain friend say: "When I first came to the fog, I saw a small cement house when I walked to it." When I came for the second time, I saw a small cement house in the distance, and there was a large yard. But when I walked to the small cement house, I couldn't see the yard again. Because the sky has changed again. Curious, I went around to the meadow and took a closer look, the unit was so big, so many buildings. It's like a dream. "Haha, I laughed when I listened to him.
We always encounter the blue sky and white clouds on the top of the mountainside, but after seeing a chaotic scene on the top of the mountain, we also summed up the experience, if the sky is clear, there are no white clouds and strong winds. Then, on the top of the mountain, it will be the same sky. Otherwise, if the weather is sunny and windy, then on the top of the mountain there will be a strong wind blowing only fog. That's what we're doing today. Now the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the wind is very warm. It's a rare thing to see the buildings at the top of the hill along the way. Even so, we can't be calm. Because, Bald Mountain belongs to the northern and southern climate watersheds, and the airflow is changeable.
We were lucky enough to arrive at a foggy location not far from the top of the mountain in the afternoon, and the scenery was beautiful. The altitude here is already 2,005 years old, and there is still a lot of snow in the arrow bamboo forest on the hillside. The temperature is also low, and it will be cold when you stop. On this hillside is a bamboo forest and miscellaneous trees, which are very inconspicuous on weekdays, but now they are very beautiful after being covered in fog, and there is a beauty of a mountain courtyard. We were very happy to see this beautiful scenery, and we finally walked fast without missing it.
However, when we returned from the top of the mountain and passed by again, there was a lot of debris on the slopes of the snow, and there was no snow white on the plants, as if the foggy song had never existed. This scene made us feel very lucky.
Today seems destined to be very lucky and wonderful.
When we were in front of the small cement house next to the top of the mountain, after a simple meal, we walked towards the top of the mountain. It's rare to have good weather today, the sky is still clear, there is no wind, and the sun is shining warmly on your body. That's pretty rare. I feel too good in my heart, but at the same time, I am also worried, worried that the clouds will come at any time.
I walked in front of the stone that was used to make a "runway" when I came in the past, and after going up to show off, I didn't wait long and hurried forward. There are two reasons to walk in a hurry, one is that when I pose for a photo on this flat and abrupt boulder, there is severe smog in the background, and the sky over the distant city is too dirty, I don't like it. The second is to take advantage of the good weather and hurry to the big meadow to see the scenery.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned the corner, I saw a few larches on the meadow on the side, from head to toe show a thick fog, all the branches hung on the white fog with finger width and thickness, and the texture is clear, the edges are full of burrs, the branches are all hairy, more beautiful than inlaid with white jade. Because this kind of white is snow white, it is so white that it cannot be compared with other items, and it is the unique texture and beauty that snowflakes have.
Originally, these pine trees that grew on the meadows on the top of the mountain could not grow up straight due to the cold and strong winds, and all the trunks were twisted into another kind of beauty, which was as beautiful as natural bonsai. It's even more beautiful today. After the whole body fog and snow hanging, it looks like a jade tree from a distance, and it looks like a snow tree blooming and flowers and branches are spreading. It is just like a huge white and beautiful coral bonsai, which is spectacular and wonderful. It's really beautiful, and it has become the most beautiful messenger on the winter meadow. In the foggy world, the larch on the top of this kind of mountain, because of its bonsai-like shape and shiny branches, makes it the most beautiful!
Seeing this, it also made me sigh for God's fairness, so that the inconspicuous larch trees scattered on the big meadow have also become the protagonists, and they are really beautiful, and the beauty has become a god-like existence. It makes us happy to take pictures of the most beautiful works of art.
At the same time, I also lamented that I was very lucky until this time today. Because, these foggy snow hangings that look like beautiful jade accidentally touch them lightly when taking pictures. It is conceivable that if the meadow is as stormy as it was in the past, and a gust of wind blows, this snow-white body will disappear. Therefore, we cherish this rare opportunity. I am afraid that the changeable climate on Bald Mountain will make the beautiful scenery in front of me no longer exist. We are taking pictures and videos, and we are in the same frame over and over again, leaving the most beautiful moments. During this period, I longed to go to the front to see the strange rocky mountain, but I was also worried that I would lose sight of one or the other, and when I returned, the snow tree became the original form.
The experience of climbing mountains over the years has also taught me that I must care about the scenery in front of me. I always look forward to whether the future will be better, in fact, most of the time I missed the most beautiful scenery, regret it. And this mistake is also a regret forever. Because just as there is never the same snowflake, there is never the same scenery that can never be reproduced, and the only way to cherish the present is to cherish the present. I have been to the bald mountain meadow dozens of times, and I have been here more than ten times in winter, but it is the first time I have seen such a magnificent fog on the top of the mountain. Because the formation of foggy ground requires climatic conditions, the trees here may be dyed with snow white at any time, but it is difficult to preserve them. Because the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2,850 meters above sea level is a vast grassland like a racecourse, windy is the norm, and windless is rare. Therefore, today is a rare opportunity.
After the shooting, we moved on. At this time, as if inspired by something, instead of immediately going to the big meadow where the antenna appears in science fiction films, as in the past, I continued along the main road. I just want to look at the strange rocks in the distance.
On the way, I saw the dwarf branches and purple azaleas on the hillside, which were also white, as beautiful as wearing a white veil. I guessed that the beauty of the azaleas must be related to the severe cold. They still don't lose their leaves all year round, which is even more amazing to me.
I don't know if any of the other trees that produce beautiful flowers don't shed their leaves in winter, but I only see rhododendrons in the Qinling Mountains. Therefore, when I looked at the petite dwarf purple rhododendron on the top of the mountain, dressed in emerald green leaves wrapped in white veil, my eyes were still moist. They seem to be weak, but they are so tenacious. It looks like a thin branch and young leaves, but they are all more than 100 years old. The harsh living environment has deprived it of the appearance of growing into a big tree, but it is still blooming in spring with this attitude, and it is beautiful to become a flower princess. I want to praise them for their character! You are my favorite on the top of the mountain in June. Meet here, and when the flowers are blooming, we hug and celebrate. Therefore, no matter how anxious I may be to travel, I must stop and send my respects when I see the azalea bushes. Thank you for blooming all over the meadow every year, opening into a big garden, blooming all over the mountains and fields covered with purple veil!
What I didn't expect was that after continuing to walk, I saw an endless larch forest on this side of the meadow, which was full of fog and snow. Oh my God, we're walking into the Snowy Tree Jungle!
At this moment, after the sun shone at three o'clock, the pine forest was dazzlingly white, and it was incomparably magnificent, and it could only be described as beautiful! It was like entering a holy fairyland, or accidentally entering the garden of God. We were so excited that we went into the snow tree forest, stepped on the knee-high snow, saw that the sky and the earth were white, and the flowers were full of flowers, and we truly felt that everything grew out of the snow, all snow white, and all holy. I, too, am holy.
The moment is the best! I am so grateful for this wonderful encounter, this wonderful time. 2019/1/19
