Section 1 Crossing the Great Temple
Wander around the Great Temple
The Great Temple ---- Shangri-La of the Qinling Mountains. This is what is written on all the brochures.
Crossing the Great Temple is from the watershed up the mountain, Gaoguantan out of the mountain, about 60 kilometers.
Due to the length of the crossing of the Great Temple and the high sea where it is located, the word --- the Great Temple is like the highest graduation exam of the amateur level in the hearts of amateur climbers in Xi'an. After crossing, you can be so proud of the younger brothers and sisters of the big temple: you have climbed the mountain for so long, and you have never been to the big temple?
So Huh, on the mountain leading to the Great Temple, there are younger students who go forward and follow each other, crossing the Great Temple to make themselves a real mountain climbing donkey.
Most of my fellow travelers have been there, and they suggested that I go too. My attitude has always been the same: I have been to XC Daiji and I am not interested. Besides, I won't be able to walk in two days. Every time I climbed the mountain and went back, the next day my feet were very swollen, and I couldn't continue walking at all. The 60-kilometer temple is impossible for me to walk down.
However, last year, on the way to Lujiaoliang, I knew that the car could drive more than 10 kilometers to the fork in the road leading to the big temple, and when I went out of the mountain, I could take a car for more than 5 kilometers in the Gaoguantan Scenic Area.
Oh, pinch your fingers, and it's less than 45 kilometers to cross the Great Temple.
At that time, the travelers in the car all told me: There is food and accommodation at the Dasi Station, you can prepare two lunches and carry two bottles of water. It's all downhill all the way, and you're sure to be able to walk down.
Walked more than 40 kilometers downhill in two days? I was a little tempted. After the argument can be walked down, there is no rush to go, waiting for the right opportunity. The opportunity was created when I came back from Aoshan.
So I decided to go to the temple in October, the most beautiful season, and the time was set for the second or third week of October.
October is here. Since I was going out for a while in late October, I decided to go to the temple in advance. It was originally scheduled to be the 2nd, but it was later abandoned due to the arrival of guests at home. At that time, I wanted to go to the main temple until October next year.
As a result, on the night of the 4th, I saw the traveler 'traveling around the Qinling Mountains' in the space, and the 3rd came back from the Great Temple easily. After communicating with him, I decided to follow his pattern 5.
In this way, I also stood on the starting line to go to the Great Temple. At the watershed, I took the car to the fork in the road. Sitting in the car, this is happy! 10 kilometers won!
Officially walking on the road leading to the big temple, I found that it was actually a socialist broad road! The mountain road is flat and winding, like a jade belt entwined in the bright sunshine, dynamic and elegant!
The three of us came up by car, and we became the first to walk on the road to the main temple. The people on the road who have opened a large distance are brisk and comfortable, and everyone is heading in one direction, all along the road to the distance deep in the mountains. Looking at their backs, I suddenly felt like they were fleeing the wilderness?
I laughed!
At this moment, the people walking on this road are not climbing mountains, and there are no mountains to climb, they are all holding dog sticks in their hands, carrying pots and pans and covering their bags, and walking towards the place where they can stay tonight, the only populated temple in this mountain road, haha......
Such an illusion is completely a momentary reflex. Because this is the depths of the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, there is nothing artificial except for this dirt road, which is completely primitive and natural. Then, in such an environment, people walking on the main road also walked in a primitive way to the tribes scattered in the mountains.
We left the civilized world outside the mountains outside the mountains, and walked through time and space to the primitive nature. Walk to a territory that doesn't belong to us, but it's so exciting to go because there's a destination there's something to aspire to.
Therefore, the actual way we are now is visiting the Great Temple.
'Visit the Great Temple', these three words are too accurate for today's mountain climbing. The first climb was a descent, and we were completely wandering around. I can't sweat anymore, it's too easy. That's how we got to the front.
In recent years, I have walked a lot in Qinling, and I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery. When I started walking on the road leading to the main temple, the scenery in front of me still made my heart move.
The road we walked was surrounded by mountains, where the autumn was high and the sky was high and the clouds were light. The mountain is already full of forests and colorful colors. The opposite beam was covered with clouds and mist, and the smoke was curling. The white clouds sometimes chase the sun on the mountain beams, and sometimes the wisps float all over the mountains. Such a dreamy beauty makes us who love the mountains smile.
We leisurely paced and bathed in the autumn sunshine, smiling at the splendid mountains of autumn leaves. In the woods beside the road, ripe wild fruits are full of skills, and the eyes are full of red fruits. There is also a kind of white fruit, because the leaves have fallen, the whole tree bears like a large barley, and it can be seen everywhere on the road to the Great Temple, and there is a towering tree on the side of the road, the branches are full of fruits, and the small white fruits in the sun are like pearls adorned with flower crowns.
Moving on, in order to see the beautiful scenery, we gave up the shortcut through the forest and basically walked the main road. Another reason for walking on the road is that we can't see the travelers in front of us, and none of us have come, so we have to continue to wander around and wait for the people behind. It is this kind of complete sense of strolling through the Qinling Mountains that I said that I was visiting the Great Temple.
The companion completely agreed, and sighed: The temple is so easy to walk, and it is impossible to sweat. How difficult is it to hear and see the big temple in the past?
The three of us continued to wander around. In order to make this trip to the Great Temple more meaningful, then do not miss any opportunity to take pictures. So we found a 'sheep' on the top of the mountain in the east, referring to the tree as 'sheep', and we were very happy to find it.
On the way, the autumn leaves in front of me made my heart flutter. I fell to the ground and took a moving picture. I've always loved fallen leaves, and dead leaves are a gorgeous flower in my eyes. Therefore, I have never been sad about fallen leaves. The autumn leaves in front of them are so vivid, and they are now back in the embrace of the earth, enjoying their splendor.
After the shooting, continue to wander. We're halfway down the mountain, and the air here is sweet. This is the smell of ripe fruit in the air. It was now past three o'clock in the afternoon, and we were in a basin surrounded by mountains, and the smell of sunlight, earth, trees, and fruits was released to the maximum, and when mixed together, this saturated mellow aroma was formed.
After walking so many mountains, it was the first time I enjoyed the smell of the air, and I could smell the aroma of the sun on the land beams, but it was different from today. I can't describe it exactly, it's calming and satisfying!
The mountains and forests are picturesque, the fragrance is permeated, and we wander in the most beautiful season of the Qinling Mountains, which is really a wonderful life! The morning is still in the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, the hazy sky, the dirty air. Now I am under the blue sky and white clouds with fresh air. If we don't come out, how can we enjoy it like this!
From getting off the bus to the present, it has been a leisurely shepherd-like wandering towards the temple. This is also the first time to climb the mountain, and the beginning of entering the mountain is downhill, and the slope is down for a day. No matter how slow we go, we can't see the people behind us. Therefore, there is basically no excessive exertion of physical strength. On such a hot day, after walking for a day, I drank a bottle of water. And his companion Xiao Pan didn't drink a sip. Imagine how easy it was for us to go.
It was almost five o'clock when we wandered to the street sign that pointed to the four groups of the great temple, and we were going to stay in the four groups tonight. How far it will be to reach it, the three of them don't know. At this time, we saw a piece of miscanthus next to us, and we happily put down our backpacks to take pictures.
After filming, I found that there were still large patches of miscanthus grass in the west not far away, which was very beautiful in the sun. So I walked over.
I had just walked a few meters down, and the scene in front of me made me blurt out: Ah! The Great Temple has arrived! Look!
"Yes, it's here! It's beautiful!" The two companions spoke in unison!
Yes, we have arrived at the village of Oji!
The big temple village in the valley is so meaningful! In the big valley, except for the two small earthen houses scattered around, there is no one who is inhabited. The house is a low adobe tile house, which marks the primitive tribe here. It is also these unchanged appearances from ancient times to the present day, telling us that this place has nothing to do with modern civilization, and the people living here live a primitive and natural life.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw the sign of 'Daiji Station'. This house I have seen many times in Q Space, and I am very happy to see it when I actually came here.
Daiji---- I finally came, and I was so relaxed, I was really surprised. Sitting in a courtyard with no electricity or postal service, I feel a state of mind that is free of concern and as if I am in a different world, which is a very good feeling. Here I also realized another meaning of the word 'time travel': that is, to travel through time and space.
I slept in a bunk in a five-person room at night, although I was fully mentally prepared when I set off. But when I actually fell asleep, I couldn't sleep. Because of her inexperience, she thought of the big-eyed girl when choosing a bunk, and she once said that she chose a side seat when she was too white. I was also the first to arrive, so I did the same and chose the innermost position.
When I fell asleep, I couldn't sleep because of the indescribable smell on the quilt. There is no way to get up and go to the yard to play. At ten o'clock, the power generation stopped and I had to go to sleep again, but I still couldn't stand it.
At this time, I can't get out of bed again. After the power outage, the room opened and closed my eyes the same, and I also verified that I couldn't see my fingers. When the ancestors coined this word, they must have invented it at night in the mountains, which is too vivid. It was so dark that I didn't dare open my eyes. The sleeping guy next to me told me to pull down the quilt, but I couldn't, the wall next to it was cold.
Later, I figured out a way to put a skin windproof suit on my head and a hat on my head, and sure enough, the sealing performance of the clothes was good, and the smell was reduced a little. I couldn't sleep, so I kept trying to turn over, but the bed was so hard that I couldn't sleep on my side, and I couldn't stand it.
Because I haven't slept and seen such a chase shop for many years, everyone sleeps together, and there are frequent laughs. The three of us were the first to arrive, and of course we all found what we thought was the best position.
When I went to sleep, I found that there was no pillow, so I guessed that the last person took my pillow and took it from under her quilt.
I asked her to go to another room to see if there were any more, and she came back and said, "There are people in every room, and I can't do it."
Haha, it made me laugh. I went to ask the proprietress to find out that there were more quilts and fewer pillows.
Later, the proprietress got two of them out of nowhere, and there was no one of the five people.
Brother Tong Luggage is a warm-hearted person. He went to different tables to drink all night, and he went back to his room to rest after the power went out. His room was next door to mine, and I heard him say, "Oh, why don't you have a pillow!"
I burst out laughing when he said that. Someone next to me asked me, "What are you laughing at?"
I laughed and said, "He's the first to find a bed tonight, and he's left with no pillows!"
Ha ha......
In the morning, I ate corn porridge and oil cakes from the station. I still had a great time eating this meal. This kind of meal is in line with today's atmosphere, think about it, if you live in an earthen house and eat milk and bread, wouldn't it be a bit like a local tyrant. Hehe!
At eight o'clock, we set off and marched towards Gaoguantan. The three of us walked more than 10 kilometers less yesterday, so today we went to the front again.
This road is not as comfortable as yesterday, but it is also easy. Now it's like climbing a mountain, the trail is easy to walk, and I still don't feel tired up and down. It's just that there is a section of the slope that is very steep, and I am a little nervous. At that time, I was wondering how they walked through the snow.
Although there is no outstanding scenery along the way, it is also a wonderful enjoyment to walk among the green mountains and green waters. It's just that when I crossed a suspension bridge, I was so scared that I didn't dare to cross it several times, and then I moved over it in a half-crouch. While having a picnic under the bridge, I found that I was the only one who had crossed the suspension bridge with such an ugly image.
At half past three, we came to the Lovers' Bridge. Arriving at the bridge means that the two-day crossing of the Great Temple is victoriously completed!
For the last five kilometers, I still used my car to get around. It was less than six o'clock when I got home.
This is my trip to the Great Temple. It was so easy that I didn't expect it before I set off. Not only did I not think about it, but the first batch of more than ten people to go out of the mountain all felt the same way: it was scary to say how difficult and difficult the temple was......
Hehe, the trip to the big temple is worth the trip. During the two-day crossing, I also traveled through time and space while crossing the path, and experienced the primitive natural life.
Finally, I would like to thank my traveler for traveling around Qinling, because the detailed strategy he provided made my trip to the temple the most reasonable and twice the result with half the effort.
I would like to thank Brother Li and Xiao Pan who have traveled all the way. Because of their help, my trip to the Great Temple was extremely easy and complete! Xiao Pan was 'fleshy' all the way, and later I learned that he was deeply hidden, and it turned out that he was a team leader.
Brother Li is a complete big brother, there are delicious food and drinks along the way, and the first thing that comes to mind is me. The funny thing is that our gear is almost identical, both of them are of the same brand. Even the clothes taken out at night to keep warm are down vests. I originally had a quick-drying shirt of the same brand in my bag, and I was going to get up in the morning to change it, but I was really embarrassed to take it out when I saw Brother Li doing the same. Hehe, we advertise like a manufacturer.
It was a happy process to cross the temple in two days, and I would like to thank Brother Li and Xiao Pan again.
In the golden autumn of October, the legendary temple will eventually make me wander into a legend, haha......
