Chapter 62: A Day Trip
Louguantai Scenic Area is 70 kilometers away from Anxi City and 15 kilometers away from Jinzhi County, which is the first batch of national forest parks in the country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is a Taoist holy place, it is rumored that Lao Tzu wrote 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching here, and was buried here after his death, so this place is very valued by the rulers of the past dynasties. Legend has it that Lao Tzu built a pulpit here, so it is called the Louguan platform, and it has the reputation of "the first of the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism".
Wang Qiang's family walked into the gate of the scenic spot with the large army, and most of them should have come out for the first time to travel, and they felt very fresh.
As soon as you enter the gate, because it is at the foot of the mountain, there are many large halls, which should be Taoist temples dedicated to gods.
Wang Qiang and the others looked at them one by one, because they didn't know much about this, they just went in and bowed and came out, and then a group of people continued to walk up the mountain.
The mountain is not very high, so the mountain is also very gentle, and the road from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside is wild or artificially planted, and there are many bamboos, each as thick as an adult's calf, and it feels like the whole mountain is surrounded by green bamboo. Wang Qiang and his family walked on the brick-paved road in the mountains, looking at the green bamboo next to them, and breathing in the fresh air of the mountains, which made Wang Qiang, a person who often dealt with smog after graduating from the previous life, very happy.
Everything is good on the mountain, but it is very inconvenient to go to the toilet, and I haven't seen a public toilet for a long time along the way, and many adults have to take their children to the depths of the jungle for convenience. When he walked halfway up the mountain, an antique building suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Wang Qiang and his party. When they got closer, people found that this was a pavilion-like building, but it was rectangular and built on a high platform, on which the three big characters of Louguantai were engraved.
"Let's take a photo, two yuan a piece" There were several people with cameras next to them who saw Wang Qiang and them, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, There are also a few people standing next to them with horses, and they should also be the ones who let the guests ride on horseback to take pictures.
Wang Wenhu walked up to a red horse and asked the person holding the reins: "Is your horse well-behaved, do you listen to it?"
Listening to these things that his father Wang Wenhu talked about with the person leading the horse, Wang Qiang knew that his father should want to ride on the horse and take pictures.
Unexpectedly, after getting the owner's affirmative answer, Wang Wenhu came back and said to Wang Qiang and his three siblings: "Wait a while, you all ride horses and take pictures."
Among the several families who came together, one of them opened a photo studio, so Wang Qiang and they could also be regarded as bringing their own photographers, but they couldn't get out of the photo scene, and they needed to be rinsed after going back to come out.
After carrying the three children one by one and taking pictures, Wang Wenhu paid the horse owner.
The photographer's surname is Ma, and Wang Qiang usually calls him Uncle Ma. Seeing that his father Wang Wenhu paid the horse owner, Uncle Ma said, "Wenhu, don't you two have one on the horse?"
Father Wang Wenhu said with a smile: "The two of us don't have to ride on a horse to take pictures, just stand and take a picture."
Subsequently, the father and mother took a group photo with the building behind them as the background. Then he called Wang Qiang's three brothers and sisters to him, asked them to stand in front, and came with a family photo.
After taking pictures, Wang Qiang and his entourage walked towards the top of the mountain again. The road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain is starting to get steeper, probably just starting to build the scenic area, most of the mountain road is not too wide with stone steps, and there is still a dirt road for some of the road. Along the way, I saw one or two stalls selling snacks, which should be people from the local village, and I don't know how they picked up things. Because the peaks in the scenic area are not very high, many people will not choose to eat on the mountain, only those who are really hungry will eat a little.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Wang Wenhu and the others saw someone taking pictures on the trunk of a pine tree jutting out of the cliff, and the men in the group seemed to think that this would not only show their courage, but also use the distant mountains as a background, so they all planned to take pictures here. After the group left, many young men in the team went up to take a photo.
After the photo was taken, everyone continued to walk up the hill. It didn't take long for Wang Qiang's vision to suddenly widen, and Wang Qiang knew that he had reached the top of the mountain. It may be that tourism has only just emerged in recent years, and it is not yet covered by those numerous antique buildings, which look very primitive.
There is a small Dan furnace of less than ten square meters on the top, saying that the Taoist temple is actually just a small room, not even a door, I heard that there was a stone statue of Lao Tzu in the past, but now there is no more. The outside of the Dan furnace is facing the door, and there is a small iron Dan furnace not far away, and the tourists next to it say that this is Lao Tzu's alchemy furnace, and this mountain seems to be called Alchemy Peak.
It is said that it is a small Dan furnace, but it is also about one meter three high, Wang Qiang stepped forward, lay on the Dan furnace to take a look, and found that there were two spherical things inside, I don't know if these two things are the pills refined back then.
Listen to the tour guide next to other tourists to explain, said that the alchemy peak is 888 meters above sea level, legend has it that there were originally two Dan furnaces, a golden Dan furnace, a silver Dan furnace, and there is a fairy child burning next to the two Dan furnaces, the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King in the Journey to the West are created based on these two fairy children.
Because the mountain is relatively simple, Wang Qiang and they looked at it and went down the mountain again, going down the mountain is much faster than going up the mountain, and when they returned to the foot of the mountain, it was just over two o'clock. The group found a place to have lunch, and then took a car to another scenic spot more than 50 kilometers away from Jinzhi County, Xitangyu, which is famous for its rich hot spring resources.
When I arrived at Xitangyu, it was almost four o'clock, and the bus drove into a hot spring bathing center that was open to the public, and after getting off the bus, everyone went in the hot springs for men and women. By the time everyone came out, it was almost five o'clock, and the hot spring recuperation for more than an hour made everyone's tired body full of vitality after a day of traveling.
Everyone began to look for a place to take pictures again, Wang Qiang and his family took a group photo in front of the Feifeng sculpture in the courtyard of the hot spring bathing center, and then his father Wang Wenhu and several other men found a giant pebble weighing more than ten tons in the river not far from the door, and stood on it to take pictures. By the time everyone was busy and ready to get on the bus, it was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon.
When I sat in the car, the sky outside hadn't completely darkened. Xitangyu is not too far from Fuliu County, but there are more than 30 kilometers, the bus has to walk for more than an hour to return to Xinghua Town, with the start of the car, the sky outside the window began to slowly and completely darken, but this dark night has not been able to disturb people's excitement after traveling, along the way people are still discussing the scenery or animals to see when traveling today.
Her mother, Chen Shuying, also happily discussed with her father Wang Wenhu all the way about the landscape architecture she saw today.
Seeing that his mother had returned to her former cheerful appearance, Wang Qiang was very happy, and Wang Qiang believed that his father Wang Wenhu was in the same mood as himself. In the previous life, because of the pressure of life, my parents did not travel well. In this life, parents can boldly put down what they are doing and organize the whole family to travel together, Wang Qiang feels that his efforts to change his family's life after being reborn are worth it.
