August 4th is a good weather, in the morning outside is a sunny day, the big guy has breakfast, seven and a half sit in the car from home, go straight to the west slope of Changbai Mountain.

It is about 30 kilometers from Donggang to Xipo Mountain Gate, and the asphalt road that was just repaired last year is effortless to run, and it takes half an hour to reach the mountain gate.

The Xipo Mountain Gate was built by the donation of the Hanwen Group in 98 years, using the style of the Manchu traditional horse frame house, and some people say that it looks like the mountain character in the pictograph.

Above the mountain gate, there are three characters Changbai Mountain, which is said to be inscribed by the chief designer himself.

"Come, while the sun is not too strong now, let's take a group photo here, leave a souvenir, and prove that we have been to Changbai Mountain."

As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Yanzhe beckoned everyone to gather and took pictures in front of the mountain gate.

Chinese people, it has always been like this, get in the car to sleep, get off the car to pee, take pictures in the scenic spot, and don't know what to ask when you go home.

So on the steps outside the mountain gate, stood in a few rows, the old couple of the Han family led the children to stand in front, Jiang Hanjun and others stood in the second row, and the young people stood in the third row.

This time I came with the driver, Jiang Yanzhe adjusted the focus, handed it over to the driver how to use it, and then the driver took several photos in a row, and the last two shots of the vista took the entire Ershan Gate.

After taking the photo, Zhou Tiantian arranged for the old man and the child to go to the bathroom, and she and Jiang Yanzhe went to find the person in charge of the mountain gate.

The other party had already received a call from the leader, so after seeing Zhou Tiantian and his wife, he was very polite, saying that the reception vehicle had been arranged, and according to the number of people, Zhou Tiantian was given a stack of different tickets.

"This is what the leader means, our county has a certain quota of reception tickets every year.

The leader said that Mr. Zhou has made great contributions to the development of the local economy, and you can't let you pay for it if you bring your family. The person in charge said politely.

"The eco-friendly car going up the mountain has also been prepared, and there will be special staff to lead it, I wish Mr. Zhou and his family a happy time."

Yes, Zhou Tiantian was dumbfounded, she really didn't plan to take advantage of this.

But people have already taken out all the tickets, can she refuse again? Keep it, a few thousand dollars, I'll talk about it later.

"Then thank you leaders, thank you very much." Zhou Tiantian accepted the ticket.

There was a special staff accompanying them, and it happened that the big guys were also gathered in the hall, so they checked in and entered the scenic spot together.

The scenic spots are all green environmental protection buses, foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter, the buses are approved to carry 42 people, Zhou Tiantian and they are forty people, just enough to sit.

Under the guidance of the staff, everyone got on a bus that stopped at the back, with the elderly and children sitting in the front seat, and the young people sitting in the side seat in the front.

At the prompting of the staff, they all fastened their seat belts, and then there was a docent on the bus.

The car started, and the commentator began to explain, from the formation history of Changbai Mountain, to the geology and landform, to the vegetation and climate, the commentator explained all the way in an orderly manner, which made people grow a lot of knowledge.

"Don't say it, we grew up at the foot of Changbai Mountain since we were children, and we have never had such a comprehensive understanding of Changbai Mountain.

How good are you listening to people's explanations? Come out and have a long experience. Zhou Anhe sat with Han Caiying, and the couple talked in a low voice.

"This is just to get a glimpse with your daughter, otherwise you are willing to spend 185 yuan to buy a ticket to climb the mountain? If it weren't for our daughter's ability and ability, we wouldn't have thought about it in this life. ”

Han Caiying looked at the ticket in her hand, there was no price on it, but just now she saw that someone else had bought a ticket, and one ticket was one hundred and eighty-five.

They have a family of about 40 people, how much does it cost? Is it willing to be replaced by ordinary people?

"That's right, isn't it thanks to you that you gave birth to three daughters? If we give birth to three sons, we don't know what to look like. Zhou Anhe said with a smile and satisfaction.

"Daughter-in-law, you've worked hard all these years, we won't have anything to do in the future, and I don't plan to do it anymore.

Anyway, we have money in our hands, so we should eat and drink in the future, and go out for a walk when we are free.

You didn't enjoy much happiness with me in the first half of your life, so let's not worry about anything in the future, and enjoy our old age in peace. ”

Zhou Anhe is sixty years old this year, although his health is quite good, but after all, he was weak when he was young, and he made great efforts when he was young, and now he can't do anything.

In recent years, as the area of forest felling has shrunk, there are fewer and fewer fields nearby, and it is becoming more and more difficult to approve.

Many people went to Dunhua and Huadian, and some even went to Heilongjiang to plant ginseng.

Zhou Anhe didn't want to run so far, so he reduced the ginseng planting area, planting at most 180 zhang a year, planting some high-quality ginseng, seeking quality rather than quantity, and saving too much tiredness.

Of course, over the years, Zhou Anhe has actually made a lot of money, and for several years, the Zhou family has produced ginseng, and ginseng alone can be sold for fifty, sixty, seven or eight hundred thousand yuan a year.

Coupled with ordinary ginseng, the annual income is a lot, even if Zhou An and his wife don't do anything now, it is enough to support the elderly.

From entering the mountain gate to the main peak, it is about 20 kilometers of road, but the altitude difference of these 20 kilometers is 15600 meters.

The rapid change of altitude will naturally bring a different landscape effect, which is what people often say, "a mountain has four seasons, ten miles of different days".

From the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest belt at the foot of the mountain, it transitions to the coniferous forest belt, then the birch forest belt, and finally the alpine tundra belt.

The four landscape belts have their own style, Zhou Tiantian and they are all natives, and the following two landscape belts don't feel like it, and they are all common.

However, when the coniferous forest transitions to the birch forest, there are some strange sights, pine trees and birch trees grow together, and most of them are pine trees and birch trees growing side by side, entangled.

The pine trees are tall and fit, and the birch trees are graceful, which means something like a husband and wife tree.

Sure enough, the commentator in front of me explained, saying that this is called Songhua Love.

The main reason is that the altitude of Changbai Mountain is high and the wind is strong, and the root system of these two plants is different, and it is not easy to survive when they grow alone, so they can only snuggle together like a pine tree and a birch tree, which is also the result of natural selection.

After the Songhua Love, you can feel the sharp rise in altitude, the car uphill is very laborious, the road up the mountain has become zigzag, and there are many turns and very fast.

These drivers who drive eco-friendly cars are familiar with the terrain and have very good driving skills, and they don't seem to slow down much when they drive up, but these people in the side seats in front of them are a little guilty and almost fly out by the car.

At this time, everyone finally understood why when they first got into the car, they had to arrange for young people to sit in front and had to fasten their seat belts.

"Good guy, this is a loss to take a car in the scenic area, if we drive up by ourselves, just these turns will make us confused."
