"The Sky is Round"

Since 2014, there has been a north-south route through Taibai Mountain, so that Taibai Mountain has gone from yearning to realization, and I can also cross Taibai Mountain. The first time I went, I made detailed preparations, and the result was surprisingly easy. That time was a three-day crossing during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and it was not as strong as the last time Dongliang. It was also this time that I fell in love with this way of traveling. At that time, I decided to come back next year.

On June 9 of this year's Dragon Boat Festival, I once again crossed Taibai Mountain from north to south, realizing that the Dragon Boat Festival has been on Taibai Mountain for three consecutive years. If the first time is to challenge yourself, the second time is to enjoy the beauty of Taibai Mountain again. Well, this third time I came with a wish, I had to go up to the "round sky" and watch the sunrise from Basendai, which I didn't do the first two times.

When I came back as promised during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, I saw a different Taibai Mountain in the same festival. The magical Taibai Mountain is like magic, allowing me to see a completely different scenery of Taibai Mountain from last year. The Dragon Boat Festival holiday of the year before last was from June 1st to 3rd, and I saw the white azaleas all over the mountain, as white as snow. I feel that the origin of the name "Taibai Mountain" must be related to the white rhododendrons that spread all over the mountain. There is a tall white rhododendron forest in Taibai Mountain, and the flower is the largest rhododendron I have ever seen, and it is also the whitest rhododendron I have ever seen. Especially when I was in the 10,000 acres of white rhododendron forest in Nantianmen, I was so excited that I burst into tears when I faced the white that there was no more accurate word to describe and the magnificence that there was no more accurate word to define. It's so beautiful! It's a kind of noble and holy beauty! The "Queen of Flowers" is none other than her!

At that time, I decided to come back next year!

I came to the Dragon Boat Festival last year, but what I saw was purple rhododendrons all over the mountain, dyeing Taibai Mountain into a beautiful purple red, as if wearing a purple veil. The beautiful climbers who came in the name of Mu Taibai Mountain, the first thing they said when they met was: The front is full of purple flowers, very beautiful, Taibai Mountain is too beautiful!

Yes, Taibai Mountain is so beautiful! If I hadn't been here a year ago and seen white rhododendrons as white as snow, and I thought that Taibai Mountain only had short branches of purple rhododendrons! Nature is really amazing! It turns out that their flowering period is about three weeks apart, and when the white azaleas dress up Taibai Mountain as snow-white, the purple rhododendrons are budding. By the time it is in full bloom, the white azaleas have already returned home. They are each leading the way, dressed up in Taibai Mountain!

Both the white azaleas and the purple azaleas are so beautiful. The white rhododendrons are all rhododendron trees that are several feet tall and grow in the forest. The azalea is known as the "beauty in the flowers", so the white azalea with purple and red 'freckles' on the white petals is the queen of Yongrong and luxury. Therefore, when Taibai Mountain is still a little cold, it is in full bloom. Then, the purple azaleas that followed, also with red stamens, they should be the queen's daughters, all of them are low branches that are no more than meters high, growing on the slopes, between the stones, on the cliffs, blooming into a sea of purple flowers, purple gas all over the mountain, purple yarn draped in Taibai Mountain!

Such a white mountain is too beautiful.

June to September is the best time to climb Taibai Mountain. And June, in my opinion, is the most beautiful season in Taibai Mountain. At this time, Taibai Mountain is a flower mountain, so beautiful that climbers from all over the country come like a pilgrimage.

Because it was so beautiful, I also came again, so I came to Taibai Mountain for the Dragon Boat Festival for three consecutive years.

One: The most beautiful season I came again to the place where the sky is round

Due to the first Dragon Boat Festival, the holiday was from June 1st to 3rd, and that time I was fortunate to meet the season of white azaleas blooming, at that time, the dwarf branches of rhododendron trees all over the mountains, the flower buds were the size of rice grains, and the leaves were dehydrated, which made me feel that it was not certain whether they could open or not. Last year, the Dragon Boat Festival came, and the holiday was from the 19th to the 21st in June. The same festival, 18 days late, allowed me to see a sea of purple azaleas all over the mountains. Two Dragon Boat Festivals, I was lucky to see the most beautiful season of Taibai Mountain.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival is on June 9. At this time, according to the experience of the previous two times, the "queen" white azalea has withered, and the "princess" purple azalea has not yet bloomed. I am a person who pursues perfection, I come to Taishan Bai once a year, I want to see the purple yarn breeze, the beautiful and picturesque Taibai Mountain again, and I want to be a guest in the most beautiful garden living room of the gods in the big meadow again.

Therefore, I thought about the time repeatedly, and I felt that it was the most appropriate to go the next week after the Dragon Boat Festival, and that weekend was also the 19th. In the process of preparation, my companion Jin Ling sprained his leg when he went to Dongliang the week before and couldn't go together (it was also this time that made me understand a fact, that is, I got up early and said that I wanted to go with you, and it must not be these people who made the trip in the end. And it also made me understand that many people are just talking, and don't take it seriously from now on. The contact was busy for a few days, and in the end, the other party did not go by a light word. As a result, the name of the person who delayed my trip with the household team was not reported. There is nothing wrong with people doing this, each with its own famous ideas. In the end, it was decided to go alone. At that time, when I decided to go alone, I was a little helpless and tragic. But soon I figured it out, there are too many people walking alone on Taibai Mountain, and it is not enough to have a companion at that time. It's a big deal, and the next day one person follows someone else's team. If you can't do it, you won't cross it. Even so, it's better than not at all. After figuring it out, I feel more relaxed than the previous two times. The car was also arranged, sent to my husband, and picked up by last year's driver. The money has also been negotiated, but it's a big deal to charter a car for one person, it's 550 yuan, which is nothing. ）。

I immediately decided to go to the Dragon Boat Festival and let everything go (it is safest to go alone during the festival, there are many people on the mountain. ）。 The first two times I saw the most beautiful scenery without knowing the situation. It seems that everything is providential. The Dragon Boat Festival is the best time for me to go to Taibai Mountain.

Besides, I didn't go up to the "round place" in the first two times, and I didn't see the sunrise on Patsendai. It is incomplete in terms of crossing the Taibai Mountains from north to south. Especially last year, on the way up to Sendai, I saw the glorious picture of the sunrise in the cameras of my mountain friends who watched the sunrise from Pattasendai, and decided to come back next year and definitely watch the sunrise in Pattasendai.

Therefore, this time, although I can't see Taibai Mountain in the sea of flowers, it is a mission.

I set off from home at seven in the morning, just like last year. On the highway, there is still a little sadness in my heart, it must be the first time to go alone. At 8:20, I arrived at the gate of Taibai Mountain Scenic Area. I was excited when I saw the three bright red characters of "Taibai Mountain"! Hurry up and take pictures with "Taibai Mountain", leaving me with a happy appearance of approaching Taibai Mountain. Then he waved goodbye to the fat donkey and rushed to the scenic service center.

There are still many people who come to Taibai Mountain today. The hall was crowded with visitors, all of whom were happy faces. Entering the mountain from the Taibai Scenic Area is two parts of people. One is to travel lightly, from Tangyu up the mountain, and the next day to the Zhouzhi Iron Armor Tree out of the mountain, such as us. The other part is all in the scenic area, as far as Paisendai, and then back the same way. This part is the tourists. Whether it is those who travel lightly or those who go to the Great Sea, this part is dominated by students. Therefore, from the mountain to the sea, there are tourists and young faces along the way. After seeing such a lively scene at the tourist service center, I was naturally relieved and happy. I came alone, so I didn't have to worry about being lonely and safe. Make up your mind, and when you get to the sea safely, if you don't have a companion the next day, it's a big deal to return. It's also much better than not coming. After making this plan, the worries of the past two days were suddenly put down, and I was in a good mood.

When I bought the ticket, I still decisively bought a one-way ticket for the crossing. The staff who bought the ticket repeatedly told a person to pay attention to safety, and if he couldn't, he would return from the scenic spot.

After getting the tickets, we rushed to the location of the scenic shuttle bus like a gust of wind. After getting on the bus, I learned that more than 30 tourists had been sent to the car, saying that the scenic spot was open at eight o'clock, and the entrance was full of people waiting to go up the mountain at seven o'clock. Hey, I'm still the first to come.

Today is another good day, blue sky and white clouds, and the sun is shining. It's just too hot, the temperature is higher than that of Xi'an, and the wind blowing in is hot in the early morning sitting in the ferry. The driver said that it has been very hot under the mountain recently, and the ultraviolet rays are also strong, and it is cool to go up to the top of the mountain.

This time, we didn't get off the bus at the attractions along the way. One is that you can take a look at the flowers in the car, and the other is that most of the scenic spots are under the scorching sun when you get off the car, which is too sunny. All the way to the Honghuaping Scenic Area at an altitude of 2,300 meters, which is the next station of the "Taibai Mountain World Cableway" that was newly built in August last year. From here, you can take a cable car to the "round sky" at an altitude of 3,511 meters. The total length of the ropeway is 2,936 meters. It is currently the ropeway with the largest drop in China.

After getting off the ferry, you can see that the antique building of the cable car station is luxurious and high-grade, which complements the majestic atmosphere of Taibai Mountain, which is very spectacular. The red birch flat scenic spot where it is located is named because most of the vegetation is red birch trees. The red birch trees here are tall and straight, with bright red bark, and the rolled skin is as thin as paper, smooth and translucent, making the trunk as beautiful as silk flowers.

I was surprised to see so many tourists here. The covered bridge was full of people, and the scene was lively and grand (I later learned that it was a large Dragon Boat Festival team from Shandong to climb Taibai Mountain.) It is said that last year it was 900 people, and this year the number is limited, the size of 300 people. However, most of them did not leave after taking the cable car to the "round sky", and only 39 people crossed to the ironclad tree. In the Great Uncle's Sea, we live in a bunk. ）

This scene doesn't feel like you're here to climb a mountain, it's just a mountain visit. I'm the same, I'm as excited as I am for the first time, and I'm so happy.

Buy a ropeway ticket in the lobby (I still buy a ropeway ticket for a one-way trip.) Then he sat in the gondola with great interest. In the past, I came from the temple at an altitude of 2,800 meters to the temple at an altitude of 3,200 meters. Compared to the gondola of the world ropeway, it is larger and more advanced, and I feel very safe. The door of the gondola is automatically opened and closed, and the fully enclosed, panoramic transparent glass is adopted, with a wide field of vision and comfortable seating.

With the rise, I was also a little apprehensive in my heart, and I was a little dizzy for a while. I just diverted myself and pretended to be relaxed. The numerous "Z" upward roads seen on the previous two ropeways are not visible on this ropeway route. This made me decide on the way to come back and take that ropeway. I really liked the scenery along the way from the temple to the reserve. On the way, I saw several purple azalea trees in full bloom in the forest, which were tall and beautiful. I was overjoyed to see that the dwarf purple azaleas on the mountain had also bloomed!

Through the mountains and mountains, in less than ten minutes, I went from 2,300 meters above sea level to 3,511 meters above sea level. However, these eight minutes still felt a little long for me to sit in the cable car, and there was still some fear.

Coming down from the ropeway, I reached the top of the mountain. The "round sky" is called the northern and southern boundary of China, the watershed of China. Here, half of the water flows into the Yellow River and half into the Yangtze River. Therefore, here is "stepping on the north and south with both feet, and the rivers flow from the wind".

Ten minutes ago, it was sweaty hot, but now it's cold. Walking out of the platform door, our expressions and movements were basically the same: Wow, that's beautiful!

The first thing everyone did was to happily lean on the railing to look down at the towering mountains and mist, and marvel at how blue the sky was and how white the clouds were. Look at the pavilion above with light smoke, as if you are in a fairyland! Therefore, here is full of cheering tourists, like the gods, we are here to laugh at the mountains, and excite pride!

However, we are not immortals after all. After a while, I was a little embarrassed to think: Ouch, it's too cold.

So, I quickly took out my coat from my backpack and put it on. Those who did not prepare thick clothes put on the necessary plastic raincoats, and became a bare-legged "poncho party". If it weren't for the blue sky and white clouds, looking at their appearance, it would have been like heavy rain on the top of the mountain. This is the temperature of Taibai Mountain, which is just like the scenery. At the visitor center at the foot of the mountain, I was sweating profusely when I wore a T-shirt, but now I wear a down jacket. It is a portrayal of "four seasons in one day".

Even so, it can't stop our joyful mood, and there are excited faces everywhere. Leaving the small square of the "World Cableway", I came to the highest Peugeot point of the "round sky". From here, I met my best companion on this crossing, a junior at Chang'an University. His arrival is really an angel arranged by God for me to come to Taibai Mountain alone this time. Thank God so much! It was God's arrangement that this north-south crossing of Taibai Mountain was the most pleasant of the three and the most perfect one.

In the past, I saw mountain friends taking photos here in the photos, and I was very envious. Today I also arrived at the "round sky", and I can't say how beautiful my heart is. One is to be happy that I have finally fulfilled this dream. Second, in this place, not only can you see the mountains at a glance, but also see the surrounding fields and villages. What's more, today's weather is so powerful, the sky on the top of the mountain is so blue that it is attractive, it is a bright blue, that is, sapphire. The most beautiful blue sky and the most beautiful white clouds, the clouds are white and white with the blue sky, you and me, reflecting each other.

In the bright sunshine, I sat on the top of a high mountain and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. Both blue and white are clean, so there is the most beautiful blue sky and beautiful clouds. I smiled and looked at the white clouds, and the clouds also smiled, and the white clouds laughed into a ball, and then laughed into a large piece, and then laughed gently in the blue sky, and the beauty became the flowers of the sky.

Ouch, it's so beautiful!

My companions and I were laughing happily at the top of the mountain. Laughter has become the only expression we can express our mood at the moment. My mood is as wonderful as a cloud. Standing at the highest point of the "round sky", my sky blue clothes are indistinguishable from the blue sky, I smiled excitedly, laughed like a cloud in the sky, it was so beautiful! I was so happy that when I took a photo with the stone monument of the "round sky", I couldn't help but raise my thumbs up. Praise for the infinite scenery of Taibai Mountain, and praise for being in a "round place" at the moment!
